058 National Teacher, you are Prince Huaide, right?
After Chen Fu left, Lu Nianjin thought about the sudden fire that broke out in the mountain behind the Great Ci'en Temple today, and always felt unusual, that feeling was like an overwhelming huge net coming towards her and Wuxian Gongzi, and forcing them out of the bamboo building was only the first step.
And I don't know if it's an illusion or what, she doesn't think that this fire was done by Lu He's people.
Lu He was afraid of the Marquis of Boye's Mansion, and he should not dare to attack the Great Ci'en Temple blessed by the emperor, so the few robberies he encountered before, he chose places outside the Great Ci'en Temple.
Besides Lu He, who else has an enmity with her and Wuxian Gongzi?
Lu Nianjin closed her eyes, and Meng Qingting's face appeared in front of her eyes.
After the last temptation, she had determined that she was not wearing a book, but was reborn, otherwise she would not have known the origin of the names of those dishes. As for reforming the bookkeeping method and opening spice shops and restaurants, she also copied them from her previous life......
If she wasn't mistaken, those should have been things she had done in her previous life.
After Meng Qingting was reborn, he felt that it was profitable, so he wanted to take it for himself.
It's just that she doesn't know that there are some things that can be snatched, but there are some things that cannot be snatched, such as bookkeeping, such as cooking.
Before trying to find out this, she had never thought of making enemies of her, after all, those things were not hers, and the reason why she knew it was also learned from others.
But Wisteria Mansion Restaurant is different, it is her grandfather's lifelong effort, she can't watch the exact same restaurant, that exactly the same signboard being ruined, she wants to take it back.
Therefore, after returning to the bamboo building that day, he would let Cai Hun publish the recipes, and suppress Meng Qingting's Wisteria Mansion without business.
But she never expected that the woman would act on the Great Ci'en Temple in a fit of anger and set fire to the Great Ci'en Temple.
No, not only the matter of the Wisteria Mansion Restaurant, but also the last time, Wuxian Gongzi was drugged, and she was insulted if she failed to dedicate herself, this matter, Wuxian Gongzi is the party, and she is a witness.
With this incident, she has even more reasons to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Lu Nianjin's brows tightened.
If Meng Qingting just had murderous intentions and had no other skills, she would naturally not be overly worried, whether it was her or Wuxian Gongzi, she could easily avoid her tricks. But the problem now is that she has the plug-in of rebirth, which is amazing, if she really has to kill the two of them, then she can always find a loophole that can be exploited.
No, she can't be allowed to do any more.
A solemnity flashed on Lu Nianjin's face, she got up and walked to the window and called "Cai Hun".
Cai Hun had been guarding in the dark, and when he heard Lu Nianjin's voice, he immediately appeared and said, "I don't know what the crown princess commands?" β
Lu Nianjin glanced at him, lifted his lips and said, "I have something very important to tell the national teacher, can you arrange for us to meet?" β
When Cai Hun heard this, he muttered, "This matter of meeting is ...... The subordinate has to discuss it with the master before he can give you an answer. β
"Well, you go and get back quickly." Lu Nianjin commanded.
Cai Hun agreed, turned around and disappeared like a gust of wind.
An hour later, he came back again, knocked on the window three long and two short, and the next moment, the window opened from the inside, Lu Nianjin asked with a calm face, "How is it?" β
"The national teacher invites you to go to the national teacher's mansion to see you after nightfall."
"I see." Lu Nianjin nodded, and then closed the window.
In the anxious waiting, the night fell unusually slowly today.
Finally, at the end of the unitary period, the sky darkened.
Lu Nianjin wore a black cloak, followed Cai Hun to copy the path, and unknowingly left the prince's mansion.
At the back door, the carriage was ready, Lu Nianjin glanced at it, but it was the carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion parked not far away.
She looked at the black carriage, her eyes softening slightly.
Cai Hun noticed it and hurriedly explained in a low voice, "The master is worried about your safety and specially sent someone to pick you up, you can rest assured that this road will be safe." β
Lu Nianjin nodded and did not speak again.
After getting into the carriage, she sat down, and the carriage ran as fast as it could.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the National Teacher's Mansion.
Lu Nianjin got out of the carriage with the support of Cai Hun and the two entered the back door of the National Teacher's Mansion one after the other.
The house of the National Teacher's Mansion is huge, but there are no paths, gardens, rockeries, and even more than a foot of grass and trees.
Straight along the road, half an hour later, the two arrived at the door of the study, and Lu Nianjin was about to turn the corner and walk towards the study.
But he was stopped by Cai Hu, and he caught up with him, "Crown Princess, the master is not in the study, he is waiting for you in the bedroom." β
"Bedroom?" Lu Nianjin frowned. What she wants to say is something important about her life, why is his attitude so casual!
Cai Hun nodded, and said with a clear conscience, "The master is a little uncomfortable today, so he rested early." β
"Oh." Lu Nianjin said lightly, and followed him to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Wuxian Gongzi had indeed rested, and when he saw Lu Nianjin outside, he was only wearing a snow-white middle coat.
After the two sat down separately, he looked at Lu Nianjin opposite, his face was cold, but his eyebrows and eyes were shining and said, "I heard Cai Hun say, the crown princess has something very important to talk to this seat?" β
Lu Nianjin listened to his inquiry, but did not answer his question immediately, but asked rhetorically, "What did the national teacher find out about the fire in the Great Ci'en Temple?" β
Hearing this, Wuxian Gongzi knocked his eyelids lightly and said, "No." β
"And who do you think would do it?"
"Until the evidence is conclusive, anyone is suspicious." Wuxian Gongzi pondered for a moment and said.
Lu Nianjin raised his eyebrows, "What about Meng Qingting?" β
ββ¦β¦ She? When Wuxian Gongzi heard this name, there was a moment of trance on his face, "What does it have to do with her?" β
Lu Nianjin had minored in psychology for one semester, and when she saw the obvious maintenance of Wuxian Gongzi's micro-expression, her heart suddenly blocked, and she snorted coldly, "You humiliated her like that in front of me and Cai Hun that day, she is now the fiancΓ©e of the fourth prince, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not want to kill people." β
"Do you have proof?" Wuxian Gongzi asked, his tone was flat, as if he didn't care about her mood at all.
Lu Nianjin pursed his lips vigorously and shook his head, "No." β
"Since there isn't, it can't prove anything." Wuxian Gongzi looked into his eyes and said in a deep voice.
ββ¦β¦ That's when I didn't say it. β
"The national teacher farewell!" Lu Nianjin coldly shook off a goodbye, got up and was about to leave.
Seeing that she was leaving, Wuxian Gongzi hurriedly got up again and stopped, "Princess, slow down." β
Lu Nianjin didn't hear it, but continued to walk forward.
The prince of Wuxian had no choice but to take advantage of his light work, catch up with her in two steps, stop her by the door, and said, "Princess, don't leave yet, this seat has one more thing to tell you." β
"What's the matter!" Lu Nianjin looked indifferent.
Wuxian Gongzi tried to take her hand and take her back to the table to sit down, but she shook her away, her beautiful apricot eyes glared, looked at him coldly and said, "Just talk, what do you do with your hands and feet!" β
Wuxian Gongzi sighed helplessly, withdrew his hand, looked at the desk on the side, and said, "Princess, please!" β
Under his oppressive gaze, Lu Nianjin returned to the table and sat down.
After she sat down, the prince also sat down.
"Anyway, what the hell is going on?" She spoke.
Wuxian Gongzi looked at her deeply, and then muttered for a moment before saying, "...... Have you ever wondered what would have happened if the first prince hadn't died? β
When Lu Nianjin heard this question, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at him suspiciously. Her instinct told her that, in his temperament, he must not have asked this question casually, but after careful consideration, he chose to speak.
And since he asked this question, it shows that this question has its own necessity.
She thought like this, and suddenly, a terrible conjecture appeared in her mind - could it be that the first prince was not dead? He's alive.
And the prince of Wuxian happened to know this former prince.
No, it's not......
Didn't he know the former prince, what if he was the first prince himself?
At this moment, many things that she had not understood before poured into Lu Nianjin's mind, hitting her heart like a tide.
Why does he have in his body the poison that was planted seventeen or eighteen years ago?
Why are there so many dead soldiers around him who are loyal to him!
Why is the emperor so fond of him!
Why did the queen know so much about his preferences!
Why did Lu He want him to die!
β¦β¦
Now that these doubts have been explained, she finally understands why Meng Qingting had to dedicate himself to him in the first place, and why he has to kill him now!
Because, he is the first prince, and he is the emperor's favorite eldest son!
And Meng Qingting, she wants to be the queen.
Wuxian Gongzi looked at Lu Nianjin's constantly changing face, and he didn't understand anything.
"You're ...... Guessed it, huh? After a long time, he looked at her in a low voice and asked.
Lu Nianjin's eyes focused and looked at him, but his eyes were unprecedentedly cold and unfamiliar.
"National Teacher, you are Prince Huaide, right?" She looked him in the eye and asked word by word.
Wuxian nodded slightly, "Yes." β
"I know," Lu Nianjin's fingertips trembled in his wide sleeves, but the words he said were extremely calm, "If there is nothing else, I will go back first." With that, she slowly stood up.
Wuxian Gongzi grabbed her wrist across the desk, stared deeply into her eyes, and said uneasily, "Jin'er, you don't have anything, do you want to tell me?" β
Lu Nianjin's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at him again, still with that stinging calm, "No," she said. The tone was as if the heart was dead.
Listening to this, Wuxian Gongzi only felt that his heart was about to be suffocated, he was anxious, and couldn't help but grasp her tighter, and explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to lie to you. β
"I know," Lu Nianjin said softly, "You didn't mean it, it's just that the stakes are very important, and you can't be outsiders, I understand it, and I won't blame you." β
"Then ......" Wuxian Gongzi wanted to continue to ask something, but was interrupted by Lu Nianjin, she looked at him very tiredly and said, "National teacher, it's late at night, I'm sleepy, can I go back and rest first?" β
"It's fine." Wuxian Gongzi stared at her pale face for a while, but in the end he still compromised, slowly let go of his hand, and let her go.
After Lu Nianjin broke free from him, he walked out without looking back.
There was a creak, and the door to the bedroom was pulled open.
She didn't have any nostalgia, and stepped out as soon as she lifted her foot.
Soon, her figure disappeared into the night.
Cai Hun appeared out of thin air and walked towards the back door with her, on the way, seeing her face really bad, he couldn't help but care, "Is the crown princess uncomfortable?" β
When Lu Nianjin heard the three words of the crown princess, she only felt ridiculous for a while, she turned her head, looked at Cai Hun coldly, and said coldly, "In the future, please don't call me the crown princess again." β
"If you don't call yourself the crown princess, what do your subordinates call you?"
"First Crown Princess." Lu Nianjin said.
Cai Hu: "......"
He couldn't help muttering in his heart, the crown princess looked a little weird, but there was a difference between master and servant, he didn't dare to say, he didn't dare to ask.
Out of the National Teacher's Mansion, Lu Nianjin closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car.
In the dark, she clenched her hands fiercely, and the corners of her mouth provoked a hint of mockery, feeling that she was a second fool.
For so long, it has been toyed with and applauded.
Thinking about her original intention of agreeing to this marriage at that time, she felt even more ridiculous.
Yes, the national teacher lied to her, the queen lied to her, and Cai Hun lied to her...... She understands it all.
But understanding does not mean that it is forgivable.
In this life, she will not forgive him for deceiving him.
"Crown Princess, the Prince's Mansion has arrived!" Half an hour later, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Cai Hun jumped out of the car and said outside.
Lu Nianjin took a deep breath, stood up and walked outside.
got out of the car, and Cai Hun quietly accompanied her to the prince's mansion.
All the way back to Huixin Building, before Lu Nianjin closed the window, she suddenly thought that the most important thing she hadn't told Wuxian Gongzi yet.
Although this big pig's trotter made her extremely unhappy, she didn't hate him to the point of wanting him to die.
"Cai Huns!" Reopening the window, she shouted outside.
Cai Hun heard the voice and quickly reappeared again, "Is there anything else with the crown princess?" β
Lu Nianjin said coldly, "Come in!" β
"It's not good, it's your boudoir after all." Cai Hun hesitated.
Lu Nianjin threw a knife in the eye.
Cai Hun immediately changed his words, "Princess, let me go, and my subordinates will come in!" β
As he spoke, his figure swayed slightly, and he climbed into the window.
"Follow me!" Lu Nianjin commanded, she walked straight forward, took him to the desk, and then picked up the pen and wrote on the paved rice paper: I was so angry just now, I forgot to say, you go back and tell your master, whether he believes it or not, Meng Qingting She can see the direction of many things in the future, and his identity has long been exposed under Meng Qingting's nose.
After writing, she made sure that Cai Hun had written it down, so she rolled up the rice paper and threw it into the incense burner on the side.
Seeing the rice paper in the incense burner burned into a pile of ashes, she looked at Cai Hun and said, "Go ahead, tell your master, I'll do my best." β
"Yes, Crown Princess, my subordinates will go."
Lu Nianjin watched him leave through the window and disappear, she stood by the window for a while, waiting for the smell of ashes in the room to dissipate before turning around and walking towards the bed.
Here, Lu Nianjin forced himself to sleep.
On the other side, Wuxian Gongzi met Cai Hun again in the study.
After listening to Cai Hu's report, his face sank suddenly, originally, he thought that Lu Nianjin suspected Meng Qingting, just because he didn't like her. Unexpectedly, she still had such a suspicion in her heart.
His eyes were dark, and he suddenly remembered some things that the dead soldier who protected Meng Qingting in the Meng family had mentioned to him: After Miss Meng fell off the rockery and woke up, it was as if she had changed as a person.
Before, he didn't care about this matter, he just thought that she had suffered a lot and her personality had changed greatly, but now he had to take it to heart.
If the dead man and Lu Nianjin's guess were correct, then Meng Qingting really had to guard against it.
After all, she is now the future Fourth Princess, if she really knows his identity, then for the sake of Xiao Ze and her own future, she will definitely persuade Xiao Ze and Concubine Jing to attack him before he recovers his identity.
At this moment, the expression of the unenvy prince was unprecedentedly dark.
Coupled with the fire of the dog jumping over the wall in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, he clearly understood in his heart that his identity could no longer be concealed, and he had to be restored immediately.
Thinking like this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and shouted "Laichen" straight out.
When the minister heard the voice, he immediately entered from the outside, and asked, "I don't know what the master commands?" β
Wuxian Gongzi said, "You personally go to the palace and tell the emperor that tomorrow in the morning, ask him to issue an order to restore the identity of this seat." β
"Why does the master suddenly want to restore his identity?" Laichen was puzzled.
Wuxian Gongzi looked at him and said in a deep voice, "It's been exposed, and if you don't recover, it's even more troublesome!" β
After listening to the master's explanation, the minister agreed, and went to the palace overnight.
On this night, many people slept peacefully, and many did not sleep.
But no matter what, after the morning of the next day, the news that Prince Huaide was still alive flew to every corner of the capital like wings.
Prince's Mansion, back to the heart building.
Lu Nianjin leaned on the pillow with a loveless face.
But Mama Qin and Huanxi beside her were very happy, Mama Qin was happy that Lu Nianjin was finally able to give birth to the child in her womb justifiably, and Huanxi was happy that her master no longer had to be lonely and empty, and she would stay alone for the rest of her life.
In the East Warm Pavilion, the master and servant have their own thoughts.
Just when Mama Qin finally couldn't help it and was about to persuade Lu Nianjin, outside, Yun Jiang suddenly walked in, stepped forward and said, "Crown Princess Qiqi, the princess Fu in the palace is here, and I invite you to the palace for a banquet on the order of the emperor." β
Lu Nianjin was even more annoyed when she heard that she was going to enter the palace, she pursed her lips unhappily, and was about to refuse to say that she was sick, but Mama Qin pinched her beside her, and then looked at Yun Jiang and said, "Hard work Yun Jiang girl passed the word, the princess knew about this, you immediately go to the front hall to reply, please wait for a while, the princess will change her clothes and go over." β
"Yes, Mama Qin." Yun Jiang agreed and retreated.
After she left, Lu Nianjin looked at Mama Qin's gaze but was very displeased, and she asked angrily, "Mama, are you facing me or others!" β
Mama Qin smiled generously and looked at her dotingly, "The old slave is naturally towards the girl." β
"Then you know that I don't want to go to the palace for any banquet! Why do you have to say yes for me! β
"The reason why the old slave is like this is not for the little master in the girl's womb. Take 10,000 steps back, if you have never been pregnant, when the national teacher comes back, and the two of you can discuss it properly, then there is still a little possibility of reconciliation, the national teacher can remarry, and you can be free. But the problem now is that you are pregnant with a little master, and the biological mother of the eldest grandson of the royal family is naturally impossible to be reconciled with, and the little master must grow up in the court. If her luck is better in the future, she will not be able to inherit her father's position...... In this way, how can he have a biological mother who is not liked by the emperor and the queen! β
Lu Nianjin listened to Mama Qin's analysis like this, and gradually understood.
The love of the emperor and the queen is not rare, but the flesh and blood in her womb must be rare.
Otherwise, when the time comes, her children will definitely not be liked by the imperial grandfather and grandmother.
came and went, and then the brothers and sisters who came out of the house climbed on the head, it was not a knife to poke her heart.
After Lu Nianjin understood, she no longer resisted entering the palace, she looked at Mama Qin and said, "Mama, please help me change my clothes, since I decided to go to the banquet, I can't be the last to arrive." β
Mama Qin was also relieved to see that she had finally figured it out, and then together with Huanxi, she helped her change her clothes as quickly as possible, and helped her comb her hair and makeup again.
Everything was cleaned up, and Lu Nianjin took Mama Qin's hand and walked out.
Father-in-law Fu had been waiting in the front hall for a while, and when he saw Lu Nianjin appearing, he immediately stood up, stepped forward and saluted, "The old slave has seen the crown princess, and the crown princess is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." β
"Father-in-law Fu is exempt." Lu Nianjin said with a smile and helped his father-in-law Fu.
Father-in-law Fu stood up with a flattered face, shook off the dust whisk in his hand and said, "The old slave is here to congratulate the princess first, your good days are coming." β
Lu Nianjin smiled politely, "Borrow my father-in-law's auspicious words." β
The words fell, and the two walked out together.
Outside, there is the golden chariot used by the princess.
Father-in-law Fu personally accompanied her to the car ladder, bowed down and said, "Please get on the crown princess." β
Lu Nianjin stepped on the ladder paved with brocade mats, and together with Mama Qin and Yun Jiang, he got on the golden chariot step by step.
After she sat down, she only heard a long "Crown Princess get up", and the next moment, the golden chariot bubbled forward.
The identity has changed, and Lu Nianjin can feel that whether it is Yun Jiang and the guards who are driving the car outside, their attitudes have changed.
The gaze they looked at her was no longer contemptuous with a little compassion, but full of awe.
Yes, in this world, women always have to live dependent on men.
Even if she is the crown princess, she is no exception.
The prince is here, she is one person below ten thousand people, the noble and glorious princess, the prince is not there, then she is a sympathetic widow, anyone can step on it in secret.
The golden chariot walked for an hour before stopping at the gate of the palace.
"Crown Princess, please get out of the car!"
