Chapter Eighty-Nine: Overboard

Just when Xiao Mian was struggling with her to complete her family mission, Jiang Wan was still walking with Lu Zhixing. There are still a few days before winter, and Jiang Wan also wore the white tiger fur cloak that Lu Zhixing made for Jiang Wan before.

"In the blink of an eye, another year will pass."

Jiang Wan looked at the trees in the palace with all the leaves falling, and was a little melancholy, she had been in this palace for two years. Lu Zhixing has been a little wrong since Jiang Wan saw Xiao Mian, and has been paying attention to Jiang Wan's expression.

"What is Your Majesty doing watching your concubines like this?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lu Zhixing's evasive attitude made Jiang Wan wonder, and he hadn't seen him like this when he was walking before. Could it be that she has something to do with Xiao Mian, the third lady of the Xiao family?

"By the way, Your Majesty, for some reason, the concubine is not very impressed by the Xiao family, and even the third lady of the Xiao family can't remember it."

Lu Zhixing was stunned when he heard Jiang Wan say this, and then returned to normal.

"If you don't remember, you don't remember, it's not a big deal."

"Hmm."

The wind was blowing, and the late autumn wind made Jiang Wan subconsciously tighten his neckline. Lu Zhixing frowned, afraid that Jiang Wan would suffer from the cold, so he sent her back to Changle Palace. When he was in Changle Palace, Jiang Wan suddenly stopped Lu Zhixing, who was about to leave.

"Your Majesty, do you really care about the child in the womb of the concubine?"

Lu Zhixing didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Wan's words, thinking that Jiang Wan was jealous because he paid attention to Lin Yao. smiled and sat beside Jiang Wan, and said to Jiang Wan, "Although the child of the concubine is the eldest son or the eldest daughter, it must be you and my children who will inherit the throne in the end, and only you and my children are the sons-in-law." ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

"I know that the voice outside the palace was so high before, if I made a choice not to vote for the people's minds, it would be a little too inappropriate."

Lu Zhixing's meaning is obvious, he is telling Jiang Wan that he wants to make her the next queen. But Jiang Wan suddenly panicked, she didn't want the position of queen, and she was very resistant. As a queen, she is the mother of a country, she can no longer be free, and like the original owner, she has to open a draft for her beloved husband, and watch every year a new girl as beautiful as a flower enter the palace.

She thought of the former emperor in Huan Yan's mouth, and she was afraid, afraid that she would become a resentful woman in the deep palace like the original owner.

"Your Majesty, let's discuss this matter in the future."

She can't do it, she can't share her husband generously with others. She now has feelings for Lu Zhixing, but she has not yet reached the point where she loves him deeply and can't do without him.

She just wanted to bring down Lin Yao, so that she and the people she cherished would not be hurt again, and she didn't think about tying her whole life to this palace.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"No, it's just that it's a big deal after the closure, and it's not hasty, so let's talk about it in the future."

Lu Zhixing didn't understand Jiang Wan's reaction, thinking that she remembered everything that happened when he was the queen, his face was slightly gloomy, so he had to leave.

"Master, why do you refuse Your Majesty?"

Hi'er doesn't understand, isn't Jiang Wan working so hard just to be able to stand at the top of power again? Jiang Wan shook her head and didn't speak, no one knew how entangled she was in her heart.

"Hiren'er, what happened to me in the Xiao family?"

Jiang Wan calmed down, she still had to find out what her relationship with the Xiao family was. Ping'er told Jiang Wan that after she and Lu Zhixing got married, she was still a princess, and she went to the Xiao family with Lu Zhixing to congratulate Xiao Cheng on his birthday, and the Jiang family was still a big family in the capital at that time.

Originally, the Xiao family meant to point Xiao Mian to Lu Zhixing's wife, but unfortunately, under the instruction of the Queen Mother, Lu Zhixing took the first step to marry Jiang Wan. Xiao Mian held a grudge against this, and led Jiang Wan to the already somewhat dissolved lake after dinner. Jiang Wan didn't know the nature of water, and when it was cold, he sank into the cold and biting lake.

When Ping'er heard Jiang Wan's cry for help and rushed to the lake, she saw Xiao Mian paddling to the shore in the lake, and Jiang Wan was gone. At that time, Lu Zhixing jumped into the lake to save Jiang Wan without saying a word, and when Jiang Wan was rescued, everyone thought at first glance that he was a dead man without breath.

Xiao Mian's explanation to everyone was that Jiang Wan had an argument with her, and then they both fell into the lake, she wanted to save her, but she was physically exhausted, so she had to go ashore first to ask for help.

"Ping'er knew that it was the third lady of the Xiao family who did it, and she also made a grimace on Ping'er at that time." Ping'er couldn't help but get goosebumps when she thought of which Hu Xiaomian's face was.

"And then what happened."

Later, Jiang Wan was in a coma for three days before waking up, and the doctors who treated Jiang Wan said that it was a miracle that Jiang Wan could come back to life, because even if he didn't drown in such a cold lake, he would die if he stayed for a long time.

After Jiang Wan woke up, he didn't remember much about what happened before, and it was for this reason that Lu Zhixing never took Jiang Wan to Xiao's house again. Later, over time, Jiang Wan didn't even remember the people of the Xiao family, but in Jiang Wan's vague memories, there was still Xiao Mian's original face.

"I see, no wonder when I saw Xiao Mian, there was a strange scene in my mind."

When Jiang Wan first saw Xiao Mian's face, his mind was Xiao Mian's face many years ago, and she was struggling in a pool of water. It's a pity that the original owner didn't die in such a dangerous catastrophe, but unfortunately he died in the cold palace because of Lin Yao's calculations.

"Creation makes man-made people."

"Before the master recovered, His Majesty also deliberately drained the lake on the prince's mansion to prevent the master from recalling the fear of falling into the water."

Lu Zhixing can be regarded as sincere to the original owner, personally diving to rescue, and draining the artificial lake of the Prince's Mansion. If it is placed in modern times, many people will read it when it is written as a novel.

However, Jiang Wan's expression suddenly dimmed, Lu Zhixing's current feelings are for her or the original owner? Jiang Wan sometimes goes into a trance, she is Jiang Wan, but which Jiang Wan is she? She has Jiang Wan's body, Jiang Wan's memory, and even Jiang Wan's feelings, so is she the Jiang Wan that Lu Zhixing loves?

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

"What doesn't the master understand?"

"It's nothing, what about later, didn't Your Majesty hold Xiao Mian responsible?"

"No, Your Majesty was just a prince at the time, and the people of the Xiao family all defended the third lady of the Xiao family, and no one believed in Hiro'er."

Jiang Wan was silent, Lu Zhixing must have known the truth, Lu Zhixing couldn't let Xiao Mian be punished at that time, and he was unwilling in his heart.

"And the Xiao family has also attacked the Jiang family, but this is what Hi'er heard from elsewhere."

The Jiang family was sent back to Fengzhou by the whole family, and it was also inseparable from the Xiao family. Because Prime Minister Xiao Cheng spread rumors in the court, saying that the reason why Lu Zhixing did not accept any more concubines was precisely provoked by Jiang Wan, saying that the Jiang family was ready to dominate the family. So much so that during that time, there were courtiers who admonished Lu Zhixing to be abolished.

"So he's been resisting those?"

Jiang Wan's heart was touched, this was all unknown to the original owner, it turned out that Lu Zhixing was abolished at that time, not only because the original owner's evidence was conclusive, but also because he could no longer stop the verbal bombardment of those ministers in the previous dynasty.

"Your Majesty really has a heart for Niangniang."

Jiang Wan didn't speak after hearing this, she is not a person who makes hasty decisions, and she will not give her heart away easily until she gets the answer she really wants.

In the Guifei Palace, Lin Yao was also thinking about how to deal with this woman who looked a little stupid, and her intuition told her that Xiao Mian was not simple. Xiao Mian had a feeling that she didn't like very much, and she always felt that something was wrong with her.

In fact, as Lin Yao guessed, Xiao Mian is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She was able to scheming when she was twelve or thirteen years old, wanting to kill Jiang Wan's life, how could she really become obedient after so many years.

"That Xiao Mian recently sent someone to keep an eye on her."

"Yes, concubine."

A few days later, a snow fell in the capital. Jiang Wan walked out of Changle Palace wearing the white tiger fur cloak, and when she got up in the morning, she heard Ping'er say that it was snowing outside.

She likes snow the most, and feels that the purity of snow is incomparable to nothing in this world. She walked along the road and met Lu Zhiye who was coming to her. Lu Zhiye saw her and smiled and said, "The minister has seen Concubine Hui. ”

"Your Royal Highness."

"The minister just came out of the imperial study, but Concubine Hui is going to find Your Majesty?"

"It's just that when it's snowing, I'll just come out and walk around, and I won't bother Your Majesty."

"The one from the Xiao family didn't bother you, did he?"

Lu Zhiye asked about Jiang Wan's situation, and he knew from Lu Zhixing's mouth that Jiang Wan had suffered a big loss at Xiao Mian's hands. Moreover, Xiao Mian's goal this time is the queen's position, and Jiang Wan is naturally one of the people she has to deal with.

"Not yet, the palace will deal with it carefully, His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about it."

"Recently, the Lamei in the palace should be opened, I wonder if Concubine Hui is still willing to be with the ministers?"

Jiang Wan didn't know that there was Lamei in the palace, so he agreed to Lu Yeye. Although Ping'er knew that there was no love between Jiang Wan and Lu Zhiye, she still reminded Jiang Wan.

"It's okay, Prince Night is a friend who has been kind to me, a gentleman's friend."

Jiang Wan pulled Ping'er to follow behind Lu Zhiye, and Lu Zhiye took Jiang Wan to a garden. Just like before, the garden of the hundred-year-old ginkgo tree was in a very remote place in the palace.

Walking outside the garden, Jiang Wan could already smell the aroma of plum, she was a little expectant, she had never really watched plums in her previous life. Because she is always busy with work, the flowering period of Lamei is not waiting for anyone.

"Concubine Hui still likes it?"

Lu Zhiye pushed open the gate, and the garden inside the door was full of plum trees, and Jiang Wan looked like the original ginkgo, full of gold. She was dressed in white and stood among the plum trees, which was the most conspicuous. The floral fragrance of Lamei has the effect of condensing qi and calming the nerves, and Jiang Wan only feels comfortable physically and mentally. The heart that was anxious because of all kinds of things has also calmed down at this moment.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for bringing me here, this is what I need most lately."

Jiang Wan smiled at Lu Zhiye, she didn't know why Lu Zhiye knew her so well, it seemed that she would always know what she needed. She remembered the past of Lu Zhiye that she had heard before, and she only felt that this man who was as gentle as jade was too unfair to him by God.
