Chapter 70: Conspiracy

Chengguo Gong Lu Jiang was affectionate and considerate to the county lord of Zhaohua, and the county lord of Zhaohua took away his elegance and sharpness, and accompanied Lu Jiang gracefully and considerately.

She originally had the intention to discuss Lu Lingfeng's marriage again, but at this time, she couldn't go against her husband Lu Jiang's will, after all, Cheng Guogong also agreed to marry the daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Ah Jiu is indeed in line with the mind of the county lord of Zhaohua, even if Ah Jiu contradicts her today and defends Lu Tianyang.

It's just that her husband Lu Jiang also has some truth in what she said, Ah Jiu's personality is too strong, and the county lord of Zhaohua is worried that his son Lu Lingfeng will be angry and can't suppress Ah Jiu.

Moreover, Ah Jiu can't get the love of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Chengguo, and reluctantly Ah Jiu marries into the Chengguo Mansion, Ah Jiu will not be happy, and she, the county lord of Zhaohua, will feel ashamed of the Jiang family.

Only the county lord of Zhaohua knows the reason why his second brother An Guogong has refused to marry all these years.

When Jiang was in the boudoir, An Guogong already had a wife, and later his wife died, Jiang and Mo Guanjie were married, and soon left the cabinet, and An Guogong missed Jiang again.

Now An Guogong indulges in mountains and rivers, rarely gets involved in court politics again, and is a group of celebrities and gentlemen, and his good impression of Jiang has not changed.

He didn't bother the Jiang family, and he didn't even have the opportunity to show his love for the Jiang family, but he didn't want to see the Jiang family have a bad time, Ah Jiu is the only daughter of the Jiang family, in line with the love of the house and Wu, An Guogong will also cherish Ah Jiu.

In case Ah Jiu was wronged in the Chengguo Mansion, the Anguo Guild, which already had a conflict with Chengguo Duke Lu Jiang, would be even more alienated from them.

The county lord of Zhaohua knew that Lu Jiang, the prince of Chengguo, had always been a general of Eastern Liao, and no matter how much Emperor Shenwu favored her, he would not fully believe Lu Jiang.

Leaning on Lu Jiang's arms, the county lord of Zhaohua sighed, "It's okay for Ling Feng to marry the daughter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Remarrying with the royal family can also dispel Emperor Shenwu's hidden suspicions a little.

******

"Ah Jiu ......"

Lu Tianyang grabbed Ah Jiu's cuffs for the first time and lowered his eyelids. "Angry?"

"I wasn't the one who was hurt, and I didn't have a wound that was open and I was bleeding a lot. What am I angry about?! β€œ

The smiling little niece is not significantly different from the past, and her eyes are bent into crescents. "Really, I'm not angry at all, if Uncle Lu loses his longevity and vitality because of excessive bleeding, it has nothing to do with me."

"I want to...... Want to ......"

King Lu Yan never explained to anyone, and at this time he wanted to tell SΓΉ Ah Jiu that he wanted to leave the imperial capital for a while by taking advantage of An Guogong's setup, and even he had the heart to transfer away from Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division.

"Ah Jiu!"

Jiang's voice floated in, and Lu Tianyang couldn't help but let go of Ah Jiu. Nodding to Jiang, he covered his embarrassed face with a mask, "Mrs. Jiang." ”

"Thank you, Ah Jiu...... The little niece spoke up. ”

Lu Tianyang changed his name.

Ah Jiu walked to Jiang's side, Jiang's eyes smiled, but his wariness of King Lu Yan did not weaken for a moment.

She is more suspicious of King Lu Yan's intentions than Ah Jiu, who is ignorant and unenlightened, "I can't talk about righteous words, Ah Jiu's temperament is not used to seeing someone being innocently blamed, and the etiquette and criminal law all day long." was taught by our master to admit the truth of death, relying on the sharp mouth, ordinary people can't say her. is strong everywhere, sharp, and does not know how to be restrained. Today is Lord Lu, and tomorrow I don't know who she is for, and I don't dare to let her be alone all day long. ”

"Mother!"

Ah Jiu drooped his little head to make a shy state, and his little mouth muttered indignantly, he could hang an oil bottle.

"Lord Lu hurry up and bandage the wound, I'll go back with Ah Jiu first."

Jiang Shi took Ah Jiu's hand. Turned around and left resolutely.

King Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, until he couldn't see the figure of their mother and daughter, and then walked into the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen. As a stranger, will Ah Jiu also be strong?

He's not special?!

He is Ah Jiu's Uncle Lu...... It's just that how long will this uncle's title last?

Compared to Ah Jiu, who is not enlightened. Lu Tianyang is older than Ah Jiu, and there are a few loyal subordinates who are talking in his ears, and he sometimes vaguely feels as if he doesn't treat Ah Jiu as a niece.

But if you say that you care, pay attention to, and cherish it is a private relationship between men and women, it seems that something is missing.

Before he figured out his true intentions, it was best for him to be Ah Jiu's Uncle Lu.

"Lord Lu......"

Lu Tianyang looked back, and there was a girl with a beautiful appearance and a well-proportioned body standing timidly at the entrance of the yamen, holding up her double flying hair bun with a little emerald threaded hairpin, a pair of jade earrings lined her peach-like face more and more pink, covered with gray squirrel skin, holding a small and delicate hand stove in her hand, and two pretty maidservants stood behind her.

Her affectionate eyes stared at Lu Tianyang tightly, fading away from the kitsch in the teaching department, gorgeous, she was as pure and innocent as a hibiscus out of the water at this time, just in response to the natural carving, natural beauty is difficult to give up.

"Wanshi is late."

Liu Wanshi bowed her knees and bowed, and said with gratitude: "If Lord Lu hadn't overturned the case for my father, he wouldn't have been angry with Lord Zhaohua." ”

Lu Tianyang turned around, straightened his back and faced Liu Wanshi, "Miss Liu, please go back." ”

"Brother Lu......"

Liu Wanshi even omitted the adult, and called him the eldest brother directly, with tears in her eyes, "It's not Lord Lu, there is no Liu family today, Brother Lu's kindness, I can't forget it, my father has said several times to repay you." ”

"Not necessarily."

"Brother Lu." Liu Wanshi caught up with Lu Tianyang and reached out to pull his cuffs, and King Lu Yan seemed to have eyes behind his back and avoided Liu Wanshi.

Except for Ah Jiu, he has never been pulled by any woman's sleeve.

Liu Wanshi's eyes flashed with sadness, she bit her lower lip stubbornly, and her face was like blood, "Today I pull down my face, Lord Lu, I ...... I am willing to serve you to repay your kindness to the Liu family, and to defend my affection in the Teaching Department that day, I ...... The little sister's innocent body is willing to ...... I am willing to hand it over to you, and I will share the weal and sorrow with Brother Lu for the rest of my life, and never give up. ”

"I said no."

Lu Tianyang left Liu Wanshi behind and walked towards the yamen.

"Brother Lu dislikes me? You know that I am innocent and clean. ”

Liu Wanshi whimpered, "Even if you can't be Brother Lu's wife, you can be a concubine...... Isn't it okay? As long as you can accompany Brother Lu. I'm willing to do anything. I can do anything for Brother Lu. ”

"Anything?"

"Yes."

Liu Wanshi's eyes lit up, she didn't care about wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hurriedly promised: "Anything can be done." In addition to being grateful to Brother Lu, I have more ...... I am happy with Brother Lu. ”

If she is still an official lady, she has not fallen into the teaching department. I would never dare to say this.

The experience in the Teaching Workshop Division has made her lose the reserved self-esteem of some official ladies, and she has become more active, more emotional, and can be with men without shame*, after all, the Teaching Workshop Division is a place that makes men happy and indulgent, and under the whispering of her eyes, Liu Wanshi has long abandoned her useless reserve.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders. She has long been a member of King Lu Hades.

Who would want her but King Lu Yan? Treat her as a serious official lady?

King Lu Yan is not only kind to the Liu family, but also has great authority, and is the best choice for Liu Wanshi.

When the county lord of Zhaohua was embarrassed by Lu Tianyang, she had already hidden in the crowd, and after seeing the situation, she took the initiative to stand up, after all, Ah Jiu's words were enough to ensure that Commander Lu still held the Beizhen Fusi.

She is no longer an innocent and ignorant girl raised in a deep boudoir. knows how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages than anyone else, and weigh the severity, only Lu Tianyang can let her stay in the prosperous imperial capital. There is no need to marry in a remote place, and the marriage between the Liu family and Lu Tianyang can also make the Liu family stand more firmly in the capital.

I had a good impression of Lu Tianyang her, but the good impression could not withstand the dazzling power and interests, and if a woman wanted to get status and honor, she had to use means to entrap a man.

How many people are there in the county lord of Zhaohua and the princess of the town mayor?

Lu Tianyang said: "I only let you do one thing - don't let me see you again in the future." ”

"Brother Lu......"

"I can give you what you want, but I don't want to give it to you. For the rehabilitation of the Liu family, I am not for you, nor am I sympathetic to Lord Liu. So I don't need your gratitude. β€œ

Lu Tianyang raised his arm and waved, "Ah Jiu just said it." You should also hear it, and I will be with the Liu family in the future. It has nothing to do with you anymore. β€œ

Liu Wanshi's face turned as white as paper for a moment, it turned out that Commander Lu had seen her and had always known her purpose......

Because of the wound that injured King Lu Yan, Liu Tiecheng called Wan Zongqi to personally give Lord Lu medicine and re-bandage the wound.

"It's better to be Miss Nine, and it's really good to adults."

Originally, Liu Tiecheng agreed with King Lu Yan to take Liu Wanshi into the house, after all, Miss Nine is still young, waiting for her to open up, Lord Lu may not be able to survive, and you can also use Liu Wanshi to make Lord Lu understand the difference between Miss Nine, who knows that Liu Wanshi uses the excuse of repaying her kindness to seek benefits, but she still thinks that men eat this set, and it is really a dusty woman from the Teaching Workshop Division.

Lu Tianyang pressed the mask on his face, "Don't compare Ah Jiu with her, she is not worthy." ”

"The subordinate has lost his word."

"Your Excellency." Wan Zongqi got the strap and said when he packed the medicine box: "If the wound collapses again, it will not be good for your health." ”

"There is only one Zhaohua County Lord in the world who looks at me unpleasantly, and after today's incident, no one should have trouble looking for me."

"Please be careful, in case you have a bad one, Miss Nine...... Miss Nine also needs to be cared for and protected by adults. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. ”

Lu Tianyang actually nodded in approval, and the Liu family brothers and Wan Zongqi glanced at each other at the same time.

"She has a bad temper, she is sharp, her talent can't be hidden, and it is always a good thing to have one more niece to take care of Ah Jiu. There are some things that Brother Mo and Jiang Shoufu want to do but can't, I can. β€œ

The corners of his mouth hooked a smile, even if the wound from his heart hurt no matter how much it hurt, he couldn't catch up with the sweetness that gushed out faintly at this time, it turned out that in addition to revenge and gratitude, there was another person worthy of his spoiling, and Ah Jiu would stand by his side resolutely when everyone was hostile to him.

*****

Lu Lingfeng was injured, Mo Xinlan naturally accompanied him, medicine his injured arm, obviously men and women are not kissed, and they have only met a few times and are not familiar with each other, but Mo Xinlan is generous, frank and shy, and does not see any cramped shyness.

A girl with a bright temperament is always more attractive.

Mo Xinlan felt Lu Lingfeng's appreciative and hot gaze, her heart seemed to jump out of her chest, she was nervous and shy in her heart, but she acted calmly and magnificently, and secretly reminded herself over and over again that she must not let the prince of Chengguo underestimate him.

She is Mo Xinlan - a person who is more outstanding than all the ladies.

Mo Xiang quietly closed the door of the Buddha hall. The faint bond between her own young lady and the prince of Chengguo, each other's heartbeat is particularly moving, and she is really happy for the second lady. There was also a smile on her lips looking forward to the future.

The prince of Chengguo has a good family background and is handsome. With outstanding ability and an excellent future, it is indeed the best choice for Miss.

Mo Xinlan is doing well, and she will be rich in the future.

In the Buddhist hall, after treating the wound, Lu Lingfeng thanked Mo Xinlan, gentle, and Mo Xinlan felt that the prince of Chengguo might not be ruthless to him. There are traces of blood on the clothes, and it is difficult to hide the handsomeness of the young man.

"Miss Mo must like to read, I heard my second cousin Mu Yanyu say that Ling Zun has a lot of books."

Lu Lingfeng's hand rested on the handle of the sword at his waist, he was chic and calm, and he looked more heroic than a scholar, like the sun.

Mo Xinlan's smile was bright and pleasant, Lu Lingfeng was six or seven years older than her, but only Lu Lingfeng was suitable for her already weathered heart, "The prince may not know, I have been in the imperial capital." I was not taught by my father like my ninth sister, and I have read a few books. But I can't say much, it's enough to understand a little truth. I prefer the feeling of galloping, playing polo, riding archery and female red. ”

"One static and one moving, the movement is appropriate, Miss Mo really surprised me, since you like polo horse racing, why don't we compete one day?"

Lu Lingfeng's eyes were wrinkled. Not to be outdone, Mo Xinlan raised her chin, "Okay." But I won't show mercy just because you're the prince. ”

"Okay."

Both raised their arms at the same time, palms touching together. snapped, and it was a horse racing agreement.

The heat from Lu Lingfeng's palm made Mo Xinlan's face blush for the first time, she quickly withdrew her hand, twisted her face and left only one side for Lu Lingfeng, Lu Lingfeng looked at the bright girl attentively and affectionately...... Mo Xinlan's appearance and temperament are much more outstanding than the prince's daughter, and they are also more in line with his temper.

It's a pity that he can't marry the woman he likes as much as he wants.

Lu Lingfeng slowly stretched out his arm, padded Mo Xinlan's clothes sleeves, and shook the soft and boneless hand again...... Mo Xinlan struggled as if she was burned and wanted to swing, Lu Lingfeng quickly let go, her voice was hoarse and low, "Don't be afraid of me...... Xinlan ...... I won't force you, I can't bear to ......"

"Lord Shizi."

"Call me Ling Feng."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Prince. ”

Mo Xinlan's face blushed slightly, "It's better to change your name to Shiziye." ”

If she called him Lu Lingfeng, she was worried that she would not be able to control her good impression of him, and she would lose ground, and it was not what she wanted to be sad for the god of love.

"I've never met a woman like you."

Lu Lingfeng said reluctantly and regretfully: "It's a pity...... It's a pity that creation makes people, if I am not the prince of Chengguo, and I am not burdened with the heavy responsibility of the family, I can do it rashly. Mo...... Miss, can you understand the pain of being involuntarily? β€œ

There was a flash of truth in his eyes.

"I think I understand, the responsibility for me and the prince must protect the family, even if my relatives don't understand and misunderstand you and me, I will still continue, I don't ask them to be grateful in the future or understand my hard work, I just hope that my loved ones can have a smooth life and the family is prosperous, and I am willing to pay any price for this."

Mo Xinlan had crystal tears hanging on her eyelashes, and she had a touching and strong style.

Lu Lingfeng slowly clenched his fists, wanting to step forward to comfort her, but he didn't dare to go, as if he was afraid of being affected by Mo Xinlan, he closed his eyes, "That's right." ”

As long as the Lu family can stand firm in the court and get the qiΔ“ they deserve, he is also willing to pay a qiΔ“ and use ...... Take advantage of a qiΔ“.

Lu Lingfeng's slightly loosened heart was closed again.

Dangdang, the sound of knocking on the door ruined their rare relationship, and Lu Lingfeng retreated to restore his former solemnity, "Come in." ”

Lige, who had been serving him, walked in, his face was complicated, he hurried to Lu Lingfeng's side, and glanced at Mo Xinlan before returning to the court, Mo Xinlan got up with interest, walked to the other side of the Buddhist hall, leaned against the window and enjoyed the scenery outside.

Only then did Lige return what happened outside Fusi in Beizhen to the prince.

Lu Lingfengjun's face was solemn, and he asked in a low voice: "You mean that Miss Mo Jiajiu is fighting against Lu Tianyang's mother?" ”

"Yes."

"Mother didn't embarrass her?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Later, Grandpa Guo arrived to persuade the county lord of Zhaohua to leave. ”

It can be seen from Lige's face that even if Grandpa Guo does not arrive, the county lord of Zhaohua will not continue to embarrass Lu Tianyang, let alone hate Ah Jiu.

"You go out first."

"Prince Shi relaxes, His Royal Highness the county lord loves you very much, and Grandpa Guo cares about you."

When Lu Lingfeng lowered his head, his hair covered most of his eyes. "I'm their only son."

If you don't hurt him, who will you hurt?

"It seems that the carriage of the princess of the town has also arrived." Lige was not sure that the carriage was not the eldest princess usually rides.

Lu Lingfeng let Lige out.

Mo Xinlan faintly heard Ah Jiu. He turned around and asked, "Ninth sister is causing trouble again?" She always makes a big splash when she goes out. ”

"She doesn't really look like you're a biological sister."

"The ninth sister is loved by her father and mother, and it is inevitable that she will be a little arrogant. If she offends the prince, I will apologize to you on her behalf. ”

"No, no."

Lu Lingfeng treats Mo Xinlan as if she were an old friend, like a confidant, "She is very good, but her temper needs to be changed slightly, so that her second cousin will not suffer with her." ”

"Prince An Guo?!"

Mo Xinlan had already seen that Mu Yanyu seemed to be different from Ah Jiu, but she never expected that even Lu Lingfeng could see it. No matter how generous she is, she still can't help but feel a little envious of Ah Jiu, the prince of Anguo is very famous, even if he can't compare to Lu Lingfeng, the prince of Chengguo in the future, Mu Yanyu is also one of the most outstanding heroes in the empire.

"Second cousin...... He likes Miss Mo Jiu, and he is competing with his eldest aunt, and the news has not been leaked yet, so he doesn't want to damage Miss Jiu's reputation. Although the second cousin was passed on to the second uncle, he was also brought up by the eldest uncle, and the second uncle always hoped that the second cousin would be closer to the eldest uncle's family. ”

Lu Lingfeng sighed in embarrassment: "My eldest aunt has always wanted to marry the young lady of the Liu family, the Marquis of Yongchang, my mother's family, to my second cousin. After all, Cousin Liu has been growing up in the Guogong Mansion, and the two families have a tacit understanding, and the eldest aunt treats Cousin Liu as a daughter-in-law. I hurt her more than anyone else. ”

"Marquis Yongchang?"

Mo Xinlan was deeply shocked, and the Marquis of Yongchang's mansion ...... It turned out to be the daughter of the Marquis of Yongchang.

"The Marquis of Yongchang has been guarding the important town in the southwest all the year round, and he has worked hard, and His Majesty has great trust in him."

The old marquis of Yongchang saved the holy car three times, and was loyal to Emperor Shenwu for a lifetime, when Emperor Shenwu was a hero, he wanted to crown him as the Duke of the Kingdom, but he knew that he was not as good as the Duke of An and the Duke of Chengguo, and said Ning * head. If you don't do phoenix tails, you will come.

Emperor Shenwu could only crown him as the Marquis of Yongchang and was regarded by the world as the first hereditary marquis.

The old marquis passed away a few years ago. Today's Yongchang Marquis Shang Shenwu Emperor is the only princess left behind by Emperor Yuan, and is the most important barrier in the southwest.

The Marquis of Yongchang is also the only one still in the army. Master the nobles of the heavy army.

Even if Chengguo Gong commanded the Wind Regiment, he didn't dare to be in the army all the time, and lived in the imperial capital more often, staying under the nose of Emperor Shenwu.

Mo Xinlan said: "I will persuade the ninth sister." ”

"No, you don't."

Lu Lingfeng said with a smile: "The second cousin has his own arrangements. ”

"But what if Sister Nine is injured?" Mo Xinlan's worries are not unreasonable, after all, the Mo family cannot be compared with Yongchang Hou.

Even if Jiang Shoufu is added, it is not as good as the granddaughter of the dignified Shenwu Emperor, not to mention that the princess who descended to the Liu family is the only daughter of the Yuan Dynasty, and her identity is above many emperors and county lords.

Mo Xinlan didn't have confidence that Ah Jiu would be able to marry the prince of An Guo as he wished.

"The second cousin will never hurt Miss Mo Jiu, he mentioned to me that Mo Jiu will not marry. The second cousin is very stubborn, as long as he recognizes it, no one will listen to him. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You don't have to care about what I say today, and the Liu family will not necessarily marry Cousin Liu to the second cousin. I'd rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, the second cousin and Miss Mo Jiu may be able to achieve good things, I and you...... They should be helped. ”

"How can I help?"

Mo Xinlan asked Lu Lingfeng, "It's better if this matter doesn't hurt the ninth sister." ”

Lu Lingfeng smiled faintly, "I don't want to hurt them, so I can only let Cousin Liu retreat, compared to the happiness of her relatives, she is relatively far away." ”

This sentence strengthened some of the confidence that Mo Xinlan had long left in her heart.

For the sake of the beloved, he will not hesitate to do things that hurt nature and reason.

*****

Aunt Zhou, who was cultivating in Zhuangzi, finally met her daughter Mo Xinqing who came to visit her, and asked, "Sister Qing, who is Dongyuan?" ”

There are five or six men living in the East Garden, who don't go out all day, and Zhou Huiniang lives in the West Cross Courtyard, although there are locked doors on both sides, Aunt Zhou can still hear the faint sound of fighting, and sometimes even she hears that the maid she serves is bleeding.

"You don't want everyone to take it to Zhuangzi."

"Mother."

Mo Xinqing comforted Aunt Zhou, "They will leave soon, don't worry." ”

"But ......"

"Would you trust me once?"

Mo Xinqing diverted Aunt Zhou's attention, "I've already thought of a way to lure my father over." ”

"What's the method?"

Aunt Zhou really attracted all her attention to this matter, Mo Xinqing whispered in her ear, Aunt Zhou nodded from time to time, "Okay, I listen to you, as long as your father can come over, I can keep him." ”
