Although Xie Wu had already had a vague premonition in her heart, when Emperor Zhengxuan actually called her name, she still didn't know what expression she should make.
Surprised, worried, uneasy?
In the end, Xie Wu raised her head and chose to meet Lu Zhan's gaze.
It's a question, it's a question of confusion.
When did he set up such a trap and even pull Princess Ning'an out? Did he have a plan from when Princess Ning'an decided to follow her to Linxi Paddock for autumn hunting?
Along the way from the capital to Linxi Paddock, he and she were alone together several times. Just yesterday, he called her into the woods, but he never mentioned that today would happen.
He didn't reveal a word to her!
"A Zhan, is what he said true?" Princess Ning'an suddenly looked at Lu Zhan with a cold expression.
Lu Zhan frowned. He looked at Princess Ning'an. He only hesitated for a moment and then made a decision quickly. He lifted up his sleeves and knelt down in front of Princess Ning'an. "Mother, I beg you to grant me permission!"
"What did you say?" Princess Ning'an stared at Lu Zhan with a look of disbelief.
Lu Zhan lowered his head and said nothing!
"Lu Zhan! Say it again if you dare!" Princess Ning'an looked at Lu Zhan with a cold look on her face, and her voice was more like a layer of ice, so cold that it made people feel chilling.
"Mother, I beg you to do it!" Lu Zhan looked up at Princess Ning'an and repeated what he just said with a pleading look on his face.
"Lu Zhan!" Princess Ning'an's voice suddenly became sharp.
Everyone looked at the mother and son confronting each other on the stage. They all looked at each other for a moment. Even Concubine Shu couldn't restrain her curiosity and turned sideways, and then silently winked at Concubine Xian.
Upon receiving the look from Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian sneered, and then turned her face away proudly.
yes!
This idiot Concubine Shu has only been in the palace for a long time. She has no idea what happened back then. Only those like her who witnessed the fire in Fengyi Palace with their own eyes know why Princess Ning'an is so persistent...
However, twenty years have passed since the incident. Isn’t Princess Ning’an still thinking about overturning the case for the former empress and the former prince?
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian couldn't help but look towards Princess Ning'an again.
Perhaps because she was so angry, Princess Ning'an's chest kept rising and falling, and her originally pale face was stained with a layer of blush due to anger.
"Lu Zhan, do you know what you are talking about?" Princess Ning'an looked at Lu Zhan unwillingly.
Lu Zhan's eyes suddenly became depressed, he pursed his lips, and suddenly, he turned his face and looked at Xie Wu.
Xie Wu's hands folded in front of her lower abdomen suddenly tightened, and her eyes couldn't help but flash twice. Then, she lowered her head in panic to avoid Lu Zhan's sight.
Just at this glance, Lu Zhan suddenly swept away the previous decadence. He straightened his back, looked straight at Princess Ning'an and said word by word, "Mother, my surname is Lu! I am the second son of Duke Dingguo!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.
Even Xie Wu couldn't help but look up at Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan's words obviously meant something, and it was obvious that he didn't mean it to Princess Ning'an, he meant it to...
Emperor Zhengxuan listened!
But why! Why do you say this?
Could it be that his surname is Lu and that Princess Ning'an asked Your Majesty to marry him to Ah Qing?
Like Xie Wu, Concubine Shu also didn't understand why Lu Zhan said such a thing, especially when Princess Ning'an looked like she was deeply shocked and almost couldn't bear it.
Is this related to the marriage grant?
But it doesn’t matter if Concubine Shu doesn’t understand! Emperor Zhengxuan, who should understand the most, has already understood the hidden meaning of Lu Zhan’s words! He firmly held the handle of the imperial chair and looked at Princess Ning’an again.
There is no trace of warmth to be found.
Twenty years!
Twenty years have passed, and she is still planning to avenge them! Even, she does not hesitate to use her own son!
Seeing Princess Ning'an's crumbling appearance, Lu Zhan felt distressed in his eyes. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to Princess Ning'an, but before his hand could touch Princess Ning'an, Princess Ning'an slapped him with her backhand.
There was a 'pop' sound.
Lu Zhan's entire face was knocked sideways.
Although Princess Ning'an was weak, she used such force with this palm that only half of Lu Zhan's face became swollen.
But Lu Zhan was stunned for only a moment before he raised his eyes again and looked at Princess Ning'an. He said to Princess Ning'an with a choked voice, "Mom, I just want to be with the person I like. I, I don't want to go through this."
It’s so complicated…”
"Who thought it was complicated? But A-Zhan, have you ever thought that this world never allows people to live a simple life? Why don't I want to live a simple life, but no one gives me this opportunity!" Princess Ning'an looked at it
Lu Zhan said heartbrokenly.
"That's mother, you have never tried to let go..."
There was another 'pop' sound.
At this time, Princess Ning'an finally put away the grief on her face, and her eyes became extremely cold and malicious, even though the person kneeling in front of her was her son.
"How could I give birth to a son like you! Just wait, you will regret it!" Princess Ning'an looked at Lu Zhan coldly. As she spoke, she stepped back, and finally turned around and ran away towards the audience.
.
"Mother..." Lu Zhan shouted quickly.
"Princess!" The nuns and maids beside Princess Ning'an were also in a panic. They hurriedly saluted Emperor Zhengxuan, and then hurriedly chased after Princess Ning'an.
Lu Zhan also wanted to chase after him, but he had only taken two steps when he looked at Emperor Zhengxuan as if he suddenly remembered something, "Grandpa, my mother, she didn't mean it, she, she..."
Seeing Lu Zhan's worried and guilty eyes, Emperor Zhengxuan's expression finally softened a little.
It seems that today's marriage farce was entirely of Ning'an's own initiative, and the Zhenguo government should be unaware of it.
He said that she had locked herself in the house for so many years, why did she suddenly come out this time? He thought she had figured it out, but it turned out...
Fortunately, A-Zhan is a very capable person!
I just don’t know how much Ning An told him about what happened back then?
However, Ning An probably didn't tell him everything. Lu Zhan was her biological son after all. Even if it was for his own good, she didn't dare to tell Lu Zhan everything about that year!
Seeing Lu Zhan's guilty and anxious eyes, Emperor Zhengxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's better if he didn't say it, otherwise, he really wouldn't know what attitude to use towards his own grandson!
However, it actually doesn't matter. After all, he himself said that his surname is Lu and he is the second son of Duke Dingguo! In fact, if we really talk about it, those things back then had nothing to do with Lu Zhan, but Ning'an.
I was obsessed with it and had to drag Lu Zhan in!
Seeing that Emperor Zhengxuan didn't answer for a long time, Lu Zhan's eyes flashed, and then he lowered his head and called Emperor Zhengxuan again. However, this time, he no longer called his grandfather, but like the others, he called
He, "Your Majesty..."
"Silly boy, you should call me grandpa. I hear you call me your majesty...why do I feel so awkward?" Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Lu Zhan with a smile.
"Grandpa..."
"Okay! Your mother was just distracted for a moment. It's not a big deal. It will be fine after she calms down." Emperor Zhengxuan smiled lightly and comforted Lu Zhan.
No matter what Ning An is planning, as long as Lu Zhan doesn't cooperate with her, her efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, at this time, the more he wants to win Lu Zhan's heart, so that Lu Zhan can drift away from her and not be used by her!
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Lu Zhan with more kindness in his eyes. He smiled and said to him, "Azhan, you are a good boy. Since your mother doesn't make the decision for you, let me, your grandfather, make the decision for you!"
"
"Grandpa..."
"I will arrange a marriage for you now with that girl from the Marquis Wu'an family!" Emperor Zhengxuan said to Lu Zhan with a smile.
"Grandpa, are you telling the truth?" Lu Zhan looked at Emperor Zhengxuan with surprise in his eyes.
"Silly boy, I am the emperor, so I can't understand my jokes!" Seeing that Lu Zhan was about to burst into laughter, Emperor Zhengxuan smiled even more on his face, "By the way, where is the girl from Wu'an Hou Mansion?"
"Miss Xie, His Majesty has called you." After hearing what Emperor Zhengxuan said, Eunuch Liu quickly shouted to Xie Wu with a smile.
As Eunuch Liu shouted, countless eyes instantly turned towards Xie Wu.
The corners of Xie Wu's lips moved.
At this time, she couldn't explain what she was feeling in her heart. She could only stiffly walk towards Lu Zhan with her feet raised.
At this point, she had no way out.
It was impossible for her to resist.
Lu Zhan had obviously expected this, and he had a better idea of Emperor Zhengxuan's thoughts. He knew that Emperor Zhengxuan would definitely not be happy for him to marry her, so he brought Princess Ning'an and Aqing in together, and even brought Princess Ning'an in.
He went to the entire Zhennan Palace! Under the consideration of Emperor Zhengxuan, he fell into his trap as Lu Zhan expected.
She should be angry, after all, Lu Zhan did all this without telling her.
However, the reason why he spent so much effort and set up such a big game was not because of anything else, he just...
He just wants to marry her.
"Girl, what's your name?" Emperor Zhengxuan didn't care about what Xie Wu was thinking at the moment. After all, it was her blessing to fall in A Zhan's eyes for several lifetimes. He even didn't even bother Xie Wu
I can't even remember his name.
"In reply to your majesty, my maid Xie Wu." Xie Wu replied respectfully with her head lowered.
"Thank you Wu! What a name! Since A Zhan received two slaps from his mother for you, if I don't help him, he will be too pitiful! So, I will marry you two today!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! No, thank you grandpa!" Lu Zhan knelt down happily.
Xie Wu's eyebrows moved. She hesitated for a while, and finally bent down and knelt down with Lu Zhan, "My maid, thank you for your marriage."
Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage...
Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage...
She didn't refuse.
Great, she didn't refuse!
At this moment, the joy in Lu Zhan's heart hit him like a landslide and tsunami. He was so excited that his hands were shaking. He didn't even dare to turn his face to look at Xie Wu. He only knew that she did not reject him.
