"Although I can't guess why Lu Jingzhu is holding Xiaoju hostage, not only me, Lu Jingzhu also understands that if Xiaoju dies, she will have no bargaining chips with me. How can you negotiate terms with me without bargaining chips, and how can I ignore her," Lu Guanlan's tone was indifferent from beginning to end, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Although she felt that Lu Guanlan was reasonable, Ah Li had always believed in her own young lady's judgment.

But he was still worried about Xiaoju's safety, so he said, "When will the second young lady let Xiaoju come back?" ”

Lu Guanlan was silent for a moment, and said: "I was just tempting, although I saw that the person behind Xiao Ju was indeed her, but I can't say when I can let her hand over Xiao Ju." ”

Chu Yu said: "Whether to let the slave maid go to find out one or two, if you find Xiaoju's whereabouts, bring her back." ”

Lu Guanlan shook his head, "Since we can be sure that Lu Jingzhu won't move Xiaoju, we don't have to be in such a hurry." ”

First, she was afraid that the tighter she pressed her, the more Lu Jingzhu would really move her murderous intent. Second, she also wanted to see what Lu Jingzhu wanted to do with Xiaoju.

"We'll see."

With that, the three of them went back to Taoyuan.

The stage has been set up, the show has begun, and the girls in the house have nothing to do with their hands and come to the garden to watch the excitement.

As soon as Lu Guanlan left, Lu Jingzhu also left the garden, leaving a group of girls and grandmothers watching the play.

After returning to the ink garden, Lu Jingzhu went straight to the house.

When Ping'er saw Lu Jingzhu coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward, but saw a small piece of red on Lu Jingzhu's hand, so she asked, "Miss, ······ are you?"

Lu Jingzhu's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Ping'er and shouted angrily: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't you want to drug me yet! ”

Seeing this, Ping'er immediately turned around and went to get the ointment.

Seeing that Lu Jingzhu's hands seemed to be burned, but he didn't dare to ask what happened, he had to say: "This ointment is still a good prescription that my aunt found from the doctor after giving birth, Miss don't worry, it will definitely not leave a scar." ”

Lu Jingzhu asked: "A-Niang is awake now?" ”

Ping'er shook her head, "Although my aunt was sent back to the courtyard to settle down, she is still stupid and stupid at this time, and she has never woken up." ”

When Lu Jingzhu heard this, the hatred in his heart was even worse.

If it weren't for Lu Guanlan, a slut, how could she and A-Niang fall to this.

Today, she humiliated her so much in front of the girls and mothers-in-law, and sooner or later she will have to double this account on Lu Guanlan, a slut!

Thinking of this, Lu Jingzhu asked again: "That girl can be taken out of the house?" ”

Ping'er looked left and right when she heard this, and saw that the girls waiting in the outhouse were not there, so she said in a low voice: "It has been sent out, and our people came back and said that they were locked up in a house not far from our house, and the house was bought privately by my aunt in the past." ”

Lu Jingzhu nodded, and then said: "Wait for A-Niang to sleep tonight, and you will go out of the house with me." ”

Ping'er thought that Lu Jingzhu wanted to meet the Third Highness, so she said: "Miss, now at this juncture, I'm afraid it is not appropriate to meet the Third Highness." ”

Lu Jingzhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said angrily: "Who said that I was going to see His Royal Highness!" I want to see that girl! ”

Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Now seeing that my aunt has finally come back, if the young lady goes to meet the Third Highness again, not only will the master be unhappy, but I am afraid that if the aunt is sober and learns, she will also be unhappy.

Moreover, since the time when her aunt was grounded, she carefully checked the people in her aunt's yard and found that a few girls had already moved around with the eldest lady's yard, and she thought that she had become the eldest lady's person.

Because of this, they spent money to buy people from the untouchable villages, but they no longer let dissent appear around them.

At this time, the eldest lady is staring, and the young lady will be noticed whenever there is a little movement, so she can only be cautious at this time.

"I want to see how loyal the people around her Lu Guanlan are, since she can buy the people around me and A-Niang, why can't I buy the people around her," Lu Jingzhu said, pushing away Ping'er's hand to take medicine again.

Ping'er looked at Lu Jingzhu like this, but she was a little worried in her heart.

said: "Xiao Ju has always been the personal maid of the eldest lady, I'm afraid I can't buy it easily." ”

Lu Jingzhu said: "What about the personal maid?" If it weren't for Fang'er's idiot who showed his stuff in front of Lu Guanlan, why would we be like this. If Lu Guanlan knew that the girl next to her had betrayed her, you said, how troubled she would be. ”

Ping'er sighed in her heart and said, "Miss has decided." ”

It's just that this Xiaoju, I'm afraid it's really not the kind of person who sells for glory, I'm afraid they found the wrong person this time.

In the Imperial Temple, the presiding officer of the temple placed the virtuous concubine in the most remote meditation room in the temple.

In addition to the monk's residence, the temple is a courtyard dedicated to the nobles living in the temple.

Although there have always been many concubines from the palace, who came here when they said that they were atoning for their sins, they were also taken care of everywhere, and the courtyard of the wing room in the temple was kept exceptionally clean.

Concubine Xian sat down in her chair and looked around.

The room is simple, but there are several scripture inscriptions hanging on the four walls. There was only one cupboard in the room, a wooden table, two chairs, and a bed, and there was nothing beside it.

Chu Yue saw that although this place was simple, it was also clean and tidy, so she said to Concubine Xian: "Niangniang, this place is quite elegant and quiet. ”

Concubine Xian couldn't help but smile when she heard Chu Yue's words of comfort, and turned her head to look at the courtyard outside the window.

In the yard, the host planted a lot of flowers.

It is said that those who serve flowers and plants to the Buddha will be born beautiful in the next life, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Just thinking about it, he saw Chu Yue take out a small box from his baggage.

Chu Yue put the box on the table and opened it, and it was containing two mooncakes.

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did I let you bring this?" ”

Chu Yue said, "It's the slave's own idea." ”

Seeing that Concubine Xian had no annoyance on her face, Chu Yue continued: "Although I am not in the palace today, there are slaves and maids to accompany my mother to spend this reunion night, and I still have to eat some moon cakes." ”

Concubine Xian's brows furrowed when she heard this.

reunited, but she didn't see Mo'er today.

Looking at Concubine Xian's appearance, Chu Yue guessed what she was thinking, and then said, "Niangniang, the slave maid feels that our Royal Highness may not go to today's palace banquet." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xian looked at Chu Yue, "Why?" ”

"In previous years, although His Royal Highness often ran outside, every time there was such a reunion festival, he would return to the palace to accompany his mother, presumably, this year is no exception. Although Niangniang is in the temple, she is not really punished in the end, but just cultivated. The slave maid thought, Second Highness, maybe come back tonight to see Niangniang," Chu Yue replied with a smile.

Concubine Xian shook her head, "He won't come." ”

The bracelet that Mama Yue sent to Mo'er today is to tell Mo'er that she has never blamed him, and she also wants him to know about self-cultivation, and let him know that everything should be thought through.

If he had understood, he should not have come here to see her at this time.

But in the end, she still misses Mo'er, after all, she is her own son, how can she really be ruthless in her heart.

Doing this is her limit, and she can't bear to abandon her son in the future.

Chu Yue knew her mother's temperament, so she didn't say much more and persuade her, but just turned her head and went to the courtyard to fetch water so that she could make a pot of tea for her mother.

Who knows, as soon as I left the door, I saw a familiar figure.

Immediately rejoiced: "Niangniang! Who's coming? ”

The door of Jinhua Palace is wide open, but the musicians who go in and out of Jinhua Palace every day are not seen today.

"I'm going to congratulate Niangniang," Ling Chan sat on the couch chair and looked at Concubine Li in front of her with a smile.

Concubine Li snorted coldly and sat down on the side.

"What is there to congratulate," Concubine Li said coldly.

Ling Chan had a smile on her face, and there was a hint of flattery, "Where is Concubine Li's words, the emperor is a golden mouth, and he promised Niangniang to be promoted, I want to come, when I am busy for a while, it will naturally be Niangniang's throne ceremony." ”

Concubine Li was happy when she heard this, but she still sneered on her face, "Compared to this palace, I really want to congratulate you." Since returning from the hunting ground, the emperor has stayed in this Jinhua Palace every day, and he has never even been to Concubine Yun. You're just- you're so good. ”

Ling Chan smiled when she heard this, "Niangniang is too famous." ”

Concubine Li snorted when she heard this, "It's just that you don't have to forget who gave you such an honor." If you want to be the treacherous one, how this palace will let you climb up, how it can send you back. ”

Ling Chanxiu frowned slightly, looking like a pitiful grievance, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, where is this, I am your person in life, and your ghost in death, how can I betray Niangniang." ”

"It's good to know," said Concubine Li, looking at the rewards in the palace, and after catching a glimpse of a coral, a faint jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Ling Chan noticed Concubine Li's gaze, but she didn't say that she would give this coral to Concubine Li, but said with a smile: "Tonight's palace banquet, I think Niangniang should have a good drink." ”

Concubine Li retracted her gaze and looked at Ling Chan with disdain in her eyes, "You take care of yourself, don't forget, there is always a concubine in this palace." ”

Ling Chan smiled lightly, "Speaking of which, I have a fact that I don't know. Seeing that Niangniang has always been friendly with Concubine Yun, how could she send me to the emperor in front of Concubine Yun? ”

Concubine Li showed a hint of mockery on her face, "What kind of thing is Concubine Yun?" Who does the palace want to let in front of the emperor, and can she talk more? Besides, she is as cheap as you, she is a thing that cannot be put on the table, and now that she has a little color, she wants to climb to the head of this palace all day long, and this palace lets you come, but she is also walking the same way she has walked before, but, compared to her, you should have some self-knowledge. ”

If these words were heard by ordinary people, they would feel humiliated.

But when Ling Chan heard this, her face did not change color at all, she still smiled like a flower, and said to Concubine Li: "Concubine Li's mother has learned a lesson, Ling Chan should remember Niangniang's kindness, and she will never dare to think about anything." ”

Concubine Li nodded, seemed satisfied, and then got up.

"The palace also has to go back to prepare some snacks, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet at night, you don't have a place now, I'm afraid you can't go, so you can rest in this Jinhua Palace."

Ling Chan also stood up and saluted Concubine Li, "Yes, Niangniang." ”

As soon as Concubine Li left, Ling Chan sat down again.

At this time, I heard the voice of a man—

"This woman is disgusting."
