When I returned to Lufu, it was past the time of my son.

I didn't speak at first along the way, thinking that if it wasn't for Lu Guanlan finally pushing Li Duan away tonight, I don't know how long the two would be entangled.

When he returned to the courtyard, Chu Yu said that he would go back to the house to sleep, and he refused to say more than half a word to Lu Guanlan.

Ah Li just brought a basin of water to serve Lu Guanlan to freshen up, and couldn't help but wonder when she saw Chu Yu's appearance, "Miss, what's wrong with her?" ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "I probably feel that she is overkill." ”

Ah Li still doesn't understand, "Overkill? ”

Lu Guanlan smiled lightly and said, "It's not overkill." This royal spy of Dayu came to be my bodyguard and run errands for me. ”

Hearing Lu Guanlan say this, Ah Li felt even more confused.

These days have not been like this, and I haven't seen such a good face today.

Although she thought so, Ah Li didn't dare to say more.

At this time, I heard Lu Guanlan suddenly ask: "When did Lu Jingzhu come back today?" ”

Ah Li is now a smart learner, Rao is Lu Guanlan did not give instructions when he went out, and he also knows how to make people star.

This time, when I heard my young lady ask, I said, "The second young lady only came back an hour ago." ”

Lu Guanlan had just taken off the hairpin on his head, and when he heard this, he paused, and raised his eyes to look at Ah Li, "An hour ago?" An hour before I came back? ”

Ah Li nodded, "I really heard the people in the outer courtyard reply like this, and said that when the second lady came back, she didn't see anything bought in the carriage." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled when he heard this, "That's interesting." ”

said that he was ordered by Lu Bingyan to go out of the house to buy, but when he came back, he didn't buy anything empty-handed, and he didn't even bother to do it.

In this way, it is not that Lu Jingzhu deliberately deceived Lu Bingyan, but that Lu Bingyan also knew the purpose of Lu Jingzhu's exit?

Thinking of this, Lu Guanlan put down the hairpin in his hand, picked up the tea on the side and took a sip.

Ah Li was a little puzzled when she heard Lu Guanlan's words, "Miss, the slave doesn't understand much. ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "It's okay, it's been okay lately, let's take a good look first, by the way, it's time to urge the marriage of the two families." ”

"Marriage?" Ali asked.

Lu Guanlan nodded silently. Yes, marriage. Of course, it is not the marriage between Lu Bingyan and Wang Qin'er, after all, Lu Bingyan is busy now, and he doesn't have the heart to get married.

The other person is different.

It's time for her to ask for this account.

The beginning of winter will soon arrive. In the imperial temple, the queen sent a lot of quilts and thick mattresses to Concubine Xian.

As soon as Chu Yue sent away the people from the palace, she turned around and saw Concubine Xian just coming out with hot tea and sitting in the courtyard with the soles of her shoes.

"It's so cold this day, why should the mother come out, it's better to go back to the house, and the slave and maid add more charcoal basins," Chu Yue hurriedly greeted her, as if she was a little complaining.

Concubine Xian smiled and looked up at the sky.

"It's been a fast day," Concubine Xian said as if to herself.

Chu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, in a few days, it will be the king ceremony, why don't you go back to the palace to have a look?" ”

Concubine Xian paused when she heard the movement in her hand.

These days, she copied scriptures and prayed in the temple, the days passed quickly, and she never heard any news outside, if it wasn't for Chu Yue mentioning it today, she really forgot about it.

Chu Yue saw that Concubine Xian was a little hesitant on her face, so she said: "Actually, it is not peaceful outside these days, the second highness has come down a few times, but when she saw Niangniang chanting in front of the Buddha, Her Highness did not dare to disturb, and also ordered the slave maid not to tell Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xian put down the soles of her shoes, "Then why are you telling me again today?" ”

Chu Yue's eyes were a little worried, "If Niangniang wants to blame, the slave and maid will voluntarily accept the punishment, but seeing that His Highness is now alone in the palace, those jackals, tigers and leopards, staring at His Highness every day, hating to eat His Highness alive, isn't Niangniang really worried?" ”

Concubine Xian said: "Then these days, can Your Highness have an accident?" ”

Chu Yue didn't understand why Concubine Xian asked, but she still shook her head, "No." ”

"Since nothing has happened, it means that he has reached the point where he can deal with the things around him without me, so why do you need me to go back?" Concubine Xian said, standing up.

"Niangniang, the slave really doesn't understand, why Niangniang wants to be separated from His Royal Highness."

As soon as Chu Yue's words came out, Concubine Xian's body froze just as she was about to return to the house.

Yes, she also asked herself why she had to alienate Mo'er.

Why did he have to stay alone in the palace, let him feel the separation of mother and son.

To this day, she also can't figure out whether she is ashamed of Lu Guanlan's mother, or whether she doesn't want to face Li Mu's son and her son will one day fight for the same person.

Whether it was guilt or avoidance, she couldn't be sure.

But only in the imperial temple, in front of the Buddha, when she prays, can a heart be calmed.

She is only holding on to a glimmer of hope now, feeling that without herself by her side, Mo'er can only do everything herself, and has no time to care about anything else. She was in the Imperial Temple, and Mo'er also had a little more concern elsewhere.

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned her head and asked Chu Yue, "Since you know some news outside, then this palace will ask you, does Miss Lu have a good match now?" ”

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect Concubine Xian to ask herself this.

These days, Concubine Xian has been in the temple for a long time, and she hasn't claimed to be the palace, but if she says it in vain today, it makes Chu Yue feel that her mother's question is not simple.

Thinking of this, Chu Yue said: "This slave really doesn't know. ”

Concubine Xian smiled suddenly, "Do you really think that what you two sisters have done for Mo'er, this palace doesn't know at all?" ”

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Concubine Xian in a daze.

After a long time, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Niangniang's words really made the slave and maid panic." ”

The smile on Concubine Xian's face was no longer as gentle as before.

"You and Chu Ling are both from Qi Mansion. One served the palace in the palace, and the other followed Mo'er as a personal maid. Chu Yue, it stands to reason that you are a person from this palace, even if His Royal Highness asks you to do something to this palace, you shouldn't obey everything. But why, then the Japanese palace is drunk? If you explain that it was ordered by His Royal Highness that you had to do it as a last resort, then you should tell this palace, why didn't you tell this palace in the morning, if this palace knew about it, how could it almost make Mo'er make a big mistake? ”

Chu Yue's face turned pale in an instant, but she didn't know how to explain a word.

"Once upon a time, Bengong thought, could it be that my father instructed you to do something, it is not impossible for the Qi family to condone Mo'er in order to make our mother and son have one heart, and for Mo'er's future future. But what you said today really made this palace a little incomprehensible. ”

Concubine Xian stared at Chu Yue, who was kneeling on the hand, with burning eyes.

Chu Yue didn't look up at Concubine Xian from beginning to end, her eyes were drooping, and her head was buried tightly, as if this made Concubine Xian unable to see what she looked like now.

Concubine Xian didn't seem to care about the expression on Chu Yue's face, but continued: "You said that the Second Highness came down a few times and told you not to say it, but you said it today." It seems that I am bent on the mother-son relationship between me and the Second Highness, and I am willing to risk being punished, and I want to tell the palace how much the Second Highness cares about the palace. But this palace knows that Mo'er has never been such a forbearant person. ”

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, and raised her head suddenly.

Seeing that Chu Yue finally raised her head, Concubine Xian said, "Didn't you guess that this palace felt that something was wrong with you from here?" ”

Chu Yue was silent, and the panic in her eyes suddenly disappeared.

Concubine Xian seemed to have expected it, and continued: "This palace also suspected it earlier, and even secretly sent someone to the Qi Mansion to check on the two of you, and there was nothing strange about it. So, tell Hongu, when did you betray Hongu? ”

Chu Yue's eyes became extremely indifferent at this moment, and she just looked at Concubine Xian quietly.

Seeing that Chu Yue didn't speak, Concubine Xian said again: "Is it because of Chu Ling?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Chu Yue's eyes changed slightly, and then she said, "It has nothing to do with her." ”

Concubine Xian suddenly smiled, "Really? If it weren't for Chu Ling, how could you be so concerned and dare not take action easily? ”

Chu Yue pursed her lips, her body suddenly trembled slightly, but she still didn't answer.

Concubine Xian sighed and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Who is the man behind you? Yun Concubine, or Concubine Li? Concubine Xian's eyes became pale at this moment, and her expression returned to her previous coldness.

He asked this very gently, as if he were asking for warmth to the servant girl kneeling in front of him.

I don't know how long it took, until Chu Yue's knees were a little stiff, until the hot tea on the stone table had already become cold.

Finally, Chu Yue seemed to have made up her mind, looked up at Concubine Xian, and said, "Niangniang really wants to know?" ”

Concubine Xian nodded, "Yes." ”

Chu Yue also suddenly smiled, "The slave maid just doesn't understand, obviously the mother was also shaken by the slave's words today, but why did she suddenly change her words and question the slave maid." ”

Concubine Xian was silent.

She was a little shaken by Chu Yue's words today, but today Chu Yue mentioned the royal ceremony, and said that Mo'er came to the imperial temple a few times and did not dare to disturb her.

After all, it was her own child, and she knew it well over the years.

If she came, she naturally asked Chu Yue to report it, but Chu Yue didn't tell her, which means that either Mo'er didn't come to her, or Chu Yue deliberately deceived herself in order to comfort herself. Either way, Mo'er came, but when Chu Yue reported herself, Chu Yue said that it was inconvenient.

On the one hand, under her guise to trick Mo'er, and on the other hand, under the guise of Mo'er, to trick her.

At first, she didn't think about it that much, but when she asked Chu Yue if something had happened to Mo'er, Chu Yue replied without hesitation that she hadn't.

If this is certain, it means that there is a lot of information about the outside world. Who told her all this news?

The answer is self-evident, naturally her good son Chengmo. It also shows that Mo'er has indeed been to the Imperial Temple these days.

That became the latter she guessed.

Hiding it from her, Tong Mo'er said that it was inconvenient to report it. Or, some excuse to excuse it.

Mo'er naturally believed in her mother's personal maid for many years, so she didn't think too much about it, so she just talked to Chu Yue about something she wanted to tell her.

I also thought that when she was free to pray and chant scriptures, Chu Yue would be able to repay her.

But who knows, Chu Yue hid it all.

As for why she suddenly tried so hard to return to the palace today, wanting her to miss her son, she guessed that someone in the palace wanted her to go back.

There must be something that she has to go back to do.

Seeing that Concubine Xian was silent, Chu Yue suddenly said: "What if the slave maid tells Niangniang that the people behind the slave and maid are not the two people that Niangniang guessed?" ”
