Gonggong Liu's voice was not loud, but everyone present in the Shouxi Palace heard it.

Lu Jinyun frowned and looked at Lu Manting, and asked in a deep voice, "Manting, are you sure you are not mistaken?"

Lu Manting nodded, and said without the slightest hesitation: "Queen Qiyu, Manting is not mistaken, Manting saw that the woman who was resting in the guest room was wearing the clothes of the third princess, and it was definitely not the third princess." The third princess had disappeared this afternoon, and the woman who was sent away after the dinner was just a stand-in. ”

Lan Ziheng twisted his eyebrows and said indignantly: "This prince is infatuated with the third princess of your country, and he is worried about the physical condition of the third princess, and he hurried to visit as soon as the wedding of the royal sister ended, but he didn't expect it to be such a big irony. ”

Lu Qishan didn't say anything more, stood up, and said, "Let's go, Prince Lan, the queen, Concubine De, Concubine Yu, and Miss Manting, you go out with the mourning family to welcome the third princess, maybe it's really delayed on the road, or it's not necessarily." ”

So, Lu Qishan got into a soft sedan chair and took Lan Ziheng, Lu Jinyun, Concubine De, Concubine Yu, Lu Manting and others to the gate of the harem.

The soft sedan chair stopped at the gate of the harem, Lu Qishan sat on the soft sedan chair and did not come down, and the palace maids around her carried more than a dozen lanterns to illuminate the door of the harem.

Zhou Lingwei walked slowly in front of Lu Qishan from the dark alone, lowered her head slightly, walked unhurriedly to Lu Qishan's soft sedan chair, and bowed on her knees.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Lingwei, Lu Qishan squinted at her, waiting for her to approach, waiting for her to raise her head, waiting for her to speak.

In fact, looking at the figure, the posture of walking, and Zhou Lingwei's calm and steady steps, Lu Qishan can already be sure that the person who came is Zhou Lingwei herself. However, she couldn't believe that Zhou Lingwei really came back?

However, the person who is most reluctant to believe this fact is Lu Manting. She single-handedly planned the whole thing, but she didn't expect that it would be completely disrupted by Zhou Lingwei's sudden return to the palace.

Lin Wan, who was standing in the distance, quietly observed the farce in front of him. She looked into Lu Manting's eyes and suddenly thought of a terrible thing. Could it be that all this is for the Jade Concubine? Could it be that Lu Qishan, Lu Jinyun, and Lu Manting are trying to deal with the Wang family?

First of all, why did Wang Ronggang, the younger brother of Concubine Yu, Wang Biyun's father, and the prefect of Fujian, suddenly receive a holy decree asking him to return to Beijing early to report on his work? Then Wang Biyun's marriage, why did Lu Qishan agree to marry Wu Qi and Wang Biyun?

And this time, if Zhou Lingwei didn't come back, Concubine Yu would have committed the crime of bullying the princess by letting go of the princess, and she would be connected to the nine clans. There are more doubts in this, why did Lu Manting suddenly want to help Zhou Lingwei lift the lockdown order? Why did Lu Qishan leave Concubine Yu alone, let her take a few princesses to stay in the Grand Prince's Mansion to attend the dinner, and wait for the emperor to return to the palace together? Why did everything Concubine Yu did go so smoothly under the noses of Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziheng?

Obviously, Lu Qishan's target this time is the Wang family. However, did Zhou Changan know about this matter? Lin Wan had a positive answer in his heart. What happened in this palace and in this capital can really escape Zhou Chang'an's ears? So, could it be Zhou Chang'an's intention? Probably not......

Of course, Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziheng's target will not be the Wang family, their target should be Dongli Kingdom, and they may have seen the relationship between Zhou Lingwei and Jin Haoran a long time ago. It's just that he hasn't said it, maybe it's just to take advantage of their relationship and give them a fatal blow.

"Wei'er sees the emperor's grandmother, the queen mother, His Royal Highness Prince Lan, the mother's concubine, and Aunt Yu, Wei'er came back late, so everyone is worried. Zhou Lingwei spoke slowly, her voice calm and calm.

Lu Qishan took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "It's good to come back, His Royal Highness Prince Lan was worried about you, and he came to the palace to visit you, but found that you hadn't come back yet, and he was very worried, so he found the Shouxi Palace of the mourning family." And your mother, who thought you had an accident, was in a hurry. ”

Zhou Lingwei stood up straight, turned to face Lan Ziheng, bowed again, and said lightly: "Thank you His Royal Highness Prince Lan for worrying about you, Wei'er is really upset in her heart." ”

Lan Ziheng hurriedly took two steps forward, helped Zhou Lingwei with a hand, and said with concern: "The third princess doesn't have to be so polite, since you and I have a marriage contract, I should care about you." What's more, I am sincere to you, you should be able to feel it, you and I don't have to be so distant. After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Can I call you Wei'er?"

Zhou Lingwei was stunned, frowning slightly, and was unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't brush Lan Ziheng's face in this situation. He didn't nod his head, he didn't shake his head, it was a tacit acquiescence.

Lan Ziheng took advantage of this opportunity to continue to stalk, and said cheekily: "Wei'er, you also call me Ziheng, okay?"

Zhou Lingwei's head hung lower, and her face was flushed with anger, but people mistakenly thought she was shy.

Concubine De hurriedly stepped forward, walked to her daughter's side, smiled at Lan Ziheng, and helped Zhou Lingwei to relieve the siege: "His Royal Highness Prince Lan, Wei'er is still young, don't blame her." ”

Lan Ziheng smiled, shook his head, and said politely: "Concubine De is too worried, how can I blame Wei'er? ”

Concubine De also smiled politely at Lan Ziheng and didn't say anything more. Turning his head to look at Zhou Lingwei, he asked in a low voice, "Wei'er, why did you only come back now?

Zhou Lingwei glanced at Concubine De and said in a low voice, "Mother, let's go back first." ”

Lu Manting couldn't help it, and finally strode over, took Zhou Lingwei's hands, looked up and down, and said in a fuss: "Wei'er, this afternoon, I know you're not feeling well, I'll go see you when I rest in the guest room." However, I didn't find you, I saw another woman wearing your clothes, and I thought you were ......" The words were not finished, but everyone already knew what she meant.

Zhou Lingwei smiled faintly, and asked instead of answering: "Princess Heshuo, since you found out that I was missing, why didn't you tell your father, didn't tell Aunt Yu, and didn't go to me?"

Lu Manting was stunned, she didn't expect Zhou Lingwei to suddenly ask such a sharp question. He opened his mouth, so anxious that tears were about to come out, and he muttered, "I thought, I thought you were, you wanted to ......"

Zhou Lingwei saw Lu Manting use the trick of wanting to speak and stop again, wanting others to think that there was some ulterior agreement between herself and her. So, he didn't give Lu Manting any chance to perform, and said, "You think I want to escape from marriage, right?"
