"Sister, your trick is really good, it was easy to let Lu Qingmeng take the bait, and now that she has no backer as King Chang, see how she will do bad things in the future." Lu Nanjun praised Lu Xuan triumphantly.

Now that King Chang has been defeated, Lu Xuan is also full of joy, thinking that Lu Nanjun can also be regarded as a meritorious hero in this matter, he immediately reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's all thanks to Nanjun's good performance." ”

Vaguely hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Qingmeng, who was lurking at the door, was not to mention how angry: It's really you who are calculating me, everything I suffered today will definitely be repaid by you in the future.

Lu Qingmeng secretly thought like this, and I couldn't help but burst out the picture of how I would take revenge on the Lu family in the future, until Lu Nanjun's voice came from the house, which pulled her back to reality.

"But Sister, this time the incident is too thrilling, if it weren't for the luck of being encountered by the county lord of Pingchuan, you would be a great crime of rebellion today." Lu Nanjun heard what happened to Lu Xuan today, and couldn't help but feel worried for her.

Lu Xuan didn't think so, but comforted his younger brother at the beginning: "Okay, this is a common thing in officialdom, there is nothing to worry about, you will understand it when you grow up." ”

Hearing Lu Xuan's words of encouragement, Lu Nanjun immediately became excited, and immediately swore to him: "Well, Nanjun will definitely grow up as soon as possible and protect A-Niang and A-Sister as the only man in the Lu family." ”

"The only man in the Lu family?" Lu Qingmeng listened to Lu Nanjun's words at the door, and couldn't help but be suspicious: "Isn't Lu Xuan the eldest son of the Lu family?" Why did Lu Nanjun say that he was the only man......"

After thinking about it, Lu Qingmeng recalled that Lu Nanjun had always called Lu Xuan, and she wondered at first, Lu Nanjun had always called Lu Xuan his brother on weekdays, when did he have another nickname?

Now boldly guessing Lu Xuan's identity, Lu Qingmeng gradually came to her senses, and the two words that Lu Nanjun called were "Sister" that she had never heard clearly.

"Could it be that Lu Xuan is actually a woman?" Lu Qingmeng secretly speculated, but even she couldn't believe it, she grew up with Lu Xuan since she was a child, if she was really a woman, how could she not be aware?

Lu Qingmeng was thinking about it, but suddenly heard Lu Xuan's voice sending Lu Nanjun from inside-"Okay, I still have some official business to deal with, if you have nothing else to do, go back first." ”

Hearing this, seeing that Lu Nanjun was about to come out, Lu Qingmeng didn't have time to think carefully about what he had heard, so he immediately turned around and fled back to his own courtyard.

"She's a woman, she's a woman......" Lu Qingmeng stayed alone in the room and couldn't figure it out, even if she heard what Lu Nanjun said, she still couldn't believe this fact.

"Is she really a woman?" Lu Qingmeng was muttering to himself, and at the same time remembered what happened to Lu Xuan when he was in the Guangyuan Academy palace exam before-

At that time, Lu Xuan refused to live with the candidates next to her, and since she was a child, she has never seen her like an ordinary man who likes to play in the water.

At present, all kinds of things are connected, Lu Qingmeng has to doubt whether what he heard seems to be true or false, I am afraid that it will have to be verified by himself.

Thinking of this, thinking that Lu Xuan had official business to deal with anyway, and probably didn't have the heart to pay attention to his existence, Lu Qingmeng simply returned to Li Ce Mansion, thinking that this kind of thing should be let him know as soon as possible to make a decision.

At that time, Li Ce finally sent Lu Qingmeng away, and it was rare to be able to clean himself up and sort out how to plan for the future, but he heard the report of his subordinates - "My lord, Miss Lu is here." ”

The only girl who could come to Li Ce Mansion was Lu Qingmeng, not to mention that the next person still directly mentioned her surname Lu, and he didn't even think about knowing who the person was coming.

"Why is she here again?" Li Ce asked rhetorically, his face full of incomprehension and impatience.

But before he could decide whether to see or not to see, Lu Qingmeng had already walked straight into his room.

Lu Qingmeng heard Li Ce's dissatisfaction with his return, so he stepped forward and hurriedly explained to him: "Don't worry, my lord, Qingmeng has come back specially because I have something important to report to my lord." ”

Li Ce tried his best to control his emotions to ensure that he would not get angry with Lu Qingmeng again, and took a deep breath, and then nodded at her: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Lu Qingmeng was about to speak, but when he saw the subordinate of the Li Mansion standing beside him, he couldn't help but swallow back.

Li Ce noticed Lu Qingmeng's strange appearance, and hurriedly retreated, and there were only two people left in the whole room, so he looked at her again: "Can you say it now?" ”

Lu Qingmeng hesitated for a moment, and then he had the courage to speak: "I stumbled upon a secret when I returned home just now, Lu Xuan seems to be a daughter. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Li Ce couldn't help but stand up from his seat in shock: "You say, you said Lu Xuan is a woman?" Where did you find out? ”

Lu Xuan can enter the court as an official, and her talent is not inferior to others, if she is a woman, I am afraid that those who are officials in the same dynasty as her should be ashamed of themselves.

Li Ce was incredulous for a while, Lu Qingmeng had no bottom in her heart, and Li Ce was even more at a loss, and after hesitating for a while, she decided not to talk too much, so as not to add unnecessary trouble in the future.

Lu Qingmeng then opened his mouth to explain: "I just passed by Lu Xuan's room, and I happened to hear that Lu Nanjun called her sister, and claimed that he was the only man in the Lu family, I am not sure about this matter, but I always feel that it is better to let the adults know earlier." ”

This is the answer that Lu Qingmeng thought was the most comprehensive after thinking about it for a long time, so there are too many uncertainties, but for the desperate Li Ce, it is undoubtedly a huge opportunity to turn over.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ce showed a rare smile on his face, and turned to look at Lu Qingmeng with admiration: "Well done, you go back to the Lu Mansion to continue to observe, and tell me immediately if there is any trouble." ”

"Then this matter of Lu Xuan's identity ......" Lu Qingmeng was puzzled, and he didn't dare to act without permission.

Li Ce smiled darkly: "I have my own way to test. ”

Seeing that Li Ce looked confident, Lu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief and handed over everything to him.

Lu Qingmeng left, and Li Ce secretly calculated-

At present, Lu Xuan's identity is unknown, and if he rashly sues, I am afraid that he will only be counterattacked by him, and he will not be able to bargain for anything.

Gu Huanli had sheltered Lu Xuan in every possible way, and the first thing Li Ce was curious about after learning Lu Xuan's identity was whether Gu Huanli had already known about it, but deliberately concealed it for her.

If Gu Huanli clearly knew Lu Xuan's identity and ignored Wang Fa to hide it for her, he could use this matter to join him in front of Emperor Liang Qin, and by the way, make the birth of Lu Xuan's daughter public, so as to get rid of the two together.

After thinking about it for a long time, after weighing it, it is still necessary to confirm Lu Xuan's identity before proceeding with the follow-up things.

On the other hand, the crown prince did not catch Lu Xuan as promised today, and was also reprimanded by Emperor Liang Qin for destroying the national memorial ceremony with rumors.

Coincidentally, at this time, he received an anonymous letter, saying that he was anonymous, but the unwritten totem prince on the envelope knew who wrote the letter at a glance.

"What is he doing when he sends a message in the middle of the night?" The prince was puzzled, after all, he had known Li Ce for a short time, and his intentions were not yet known.

The suspicious prince tentatively opened the envelope, and although the text inside was not much, it was enough to arouse his interest-"The lower official has the handle of Lu Xuan and the fierce king in his hand. ”

When the letter said this, the prince immediately couldn't hold back and wanted money to find Li Ce to find out what was going on, but there was a sentence attached to the back of the credible paper - "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and when the lower officials verify it clearly, they will go to His Highness's mansion to meet him." ”

Seeing this, the prince's excitement was immediately suppressed, and he scolded with disdain: "What is this? Do you tempt His Highness with uncertain things? ”

The prince disdainfully crumpled the letter sent by Li Ce and threw it aside, and then went back to bed.

But Li Ce did have his cleverness in this trip, and he had already learned about the princes of the royal family.

King Chang is stubborn by nature, and he has not been valued by Emperor Liang Qin and hundreds of civil and military officials since he was a child, but fortunately, this person has no defense, and he can easily be captured, which is also the reason why Li Ce chose to take refuge in him at the beginning.

And like the crown prince, who is so calm and stands out among the princes, he has long been the best candidate to inherit the throne, and he is the object that Li Ce has always wanted to approach.

And King Chang is at best just a stepping stone for Li Ce on the road to the crown prince.

Although the crown prince is good, he is suspicious and snobbish by nature, and it is not easy to gain his trust and reuse with Li Ce's current status, and it has taken a lot of effort to say a few words to him.

Although Lu Xuan's identity has not yet been confirmed, it is bound to be a great temptation for the prince who is suspicious and can't wait to get rid of the murderous king.

Li Ce chose to throw the bait before confirming everything, which was actually the olive branch he handed to the prince, as for whether to take it or not, it depended on how deep the prince's hatred for Gu Huanli was, and Li Ce was quite confident in this.

Sure enough, the prince hastily threw away the letter, and slept until midnight, but he was a little uneasy.

Originally, the prince only thought that Li Ce was casually talking and deliberately boasting in front of him, but as the saying goes, "it is better to believe it than to believe it", and at present, for the prince, any opportunity that may be able to solve Gu Huanli cannot be missed.

After careful consideration, the prince immediately got up to study the ink, revised the book as quickly as possible, and then ordered someone to send it to the Li Ce Mansion overnight.

At that time, Li Ce had not yet been on the couch, and sat in the room neatly dressed, as if he had expected and waited for something in the morning, and he did not raise his lips and smile until the next person delivered the letter.
