Chapter Ninety-Six: The Princess's Choice

Lu Shi hesitated and looked at the flickering candlelight: "Me and this kid ...... I don't know how to settle him, and the side of the South Mountain Courtyard is miserable, but I'm afraid that he can't stand it. ”

Xiao Rongyue got up and pulled off the golden hairpin on her head, took off the veil, and picked out the candle wax: "Has the princess ever thought that the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson cannot be hidden, the princess has been cultivating for many years, and there are only these few people around her, if there is suddenly an extra child, everyone in the palace will know, how will Your Majesty deal with it at that time?" ”

The emperor's eldest grandson was demoted to Xuzhou with the king of Yingchuan, and he should have inherited the throne and stayed in Xuzhou after the death of the king of Yingchuan, but now he has come to Chang'an privately, and it is a big crime for the vassal king to return to Chang'an without authorization.

Lu Shi leaned on the couch weakly: "I don't know, but I just can't care about him." ”

Personally poured a cup of tea and brought it to Lu's couch, Xiao Rongyue said slowly: "Now there are only two ways, either let someone send the emperor's eldest grandson back to Xuzhou early tomorrow morning, or ......"

Before she finished speaking, Lu Shi couldn't help but shake his head: "He is so seriously injured, how can he still hurry, not to mention that those people will not give up." ”

Xiao Rongyue nodded: "Then you can only leave him, but it's useless to hide and hide, once they can't wait for anyone outside Chang'an City, they will know that they have entered the city, and then it will be difficult for the princess to protect him." ”

The Lu family sat up, his face full of helplessness: "His Highness has no other heirs under his knees, if even he ...... How can I be worthy of His Royal Highness's entrustment, after all, he is just a child, and the events of the year have nothing to do with him, and Pei's has passed away for many years, I really can't bear it! ”

She seemed to be persuading Xiao Rongyue, more like convincing herself, and finally she bit her lip and her eyes became firm: "I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to ask to see Your Majesty, begging her to forgive this child and let him stay in Chang'an with me." ”

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xiao Rongyue chuckled: "The princess is right, instead of covering up this matter, it is better to beg Your Majesty to bring the eldest grandson of the emperor into the palace openly and honestly before those people, so that they can grasp the opportunity, and in front of Your Majesty, they will be even more taboo." ”

Lu Shi said worriedly: "Then Your Majesty ......"

Xiao Rongyue turned his head: "The emperor's eldest grandson is young, Your Majesty will have the heart to lick the calf after all, and he will not be too embarrassed." ”

The events of that year were not the pain in His Majesty's heart, but they couldn't be said and couldn't be said.

Lu Shi pondered for a while and nodded: "Instead of being so scared, if you enter the palace and beg Your Majesty, there may be a way to live." ”

She looked at Xiao Rongyue gratefully: "If you hadn't thought about it for me, I'm afraid that I would still be helpless, but I would have harmed that child." ”

Xiao Rongyue straightened her dress at this time, raised her hand and bowed down in front of Lu: "I'm not selfless, I just want to take refuge in the princess, and I ask the princess for permission." ”

Lu Shi was very surprised, and hurriedly got down to help her up: "What is this, I know everything about you." ”

"Are you afraid that your husband Du Saburo will refuse to give up and embarrass you?" Lu Shi smiled slightly, and then she comforted Xiao Rongyue: "With me here, don't worry about this." ”

Xiao Rongyue thanked him in a low voice, but sighed in his heart, not only Du Huo, but Du Huo in his previous life not only ranked in high school, but also married the daughter of Zhou Yong, the servant of the ministry, and soon made steady progress in the court. Everything is different in this life, although he is embarrassed now, and he has the drag of the Du family, but with his heart, I am afraid that he will not be willing to be down, and he may not have a time to get ahead.

She was wary of Du Huo, but even more because of the Ruyang Marquis Mansion and the Weiwei Mansion, Dou Mi's affairs in the East Palace were really strange, and the two were probably inseparable, she wanted to know the truth, who was the mastermind.

But now she is just a businessman who has set up a female household, and she can't get close to all of this at all, and she can only rely on Princess Yingchuan, and maybe there is a glimmer of hope.

When the sky was about to dawn, Li Qing came to his senses, and Zhu Ling hurriedly came over to greet Xiao Rongyue, Lu Shi didn't care about not closing his eyes much this night, so he changed his robe and went over with Xiao Rongyue to see him.

The thin young man lay on the couch, opened his eyes slightly and looked at the strange maid beside the couch suspiciously, he didn't know where he was, and opened his mouth with difficulty: "Water ......"

Xiao Rongyue was coming in, took the water brought by Guangdan, and sent it to him herself: "Do you think there is anything wrong?" Lang Zhong is still there, let him take a look for you. ”

Li Qing looked at her, but the eyes on her sick and haggard face were very clear: "Who are you?" Did they give me to you? ”

There is no fear or panic, and everything is always calm.

Xiao Rongyue glanced back at the Lu family, who was standing by the door and looked hesitantly at the Lu family, who had never approached here, and said with a smile: "This is Chang'an City, they can't come in, otherwise they will be too eye-catching and can't guarantee your safety, so they will entrust you to us." ”

Li Qing tilted his head slightly and looked at Xiao Rongyue: "You are not the princess, the princess asked you to take care of me?" ”

When Lu Shi heard this kid talk about himself calmly, thinking that he had risked all the way to Chang'an to defect to him, he finally couldn't help it and walked up: "Where is your grandfather?" He's really ......."

Li Qing looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who asked him with tears in her eyes, and quickly understood, struggling to get up, but was still supported by Guangdan, and he bowed down to the Lu family: "Princess." ”

Lu Shi hurriedly wanted to help him, but he still didn't touch him, just turned his face away: "You are still sick, so you can lie down." ”

Li Qing lowered his eyes, choked up and whispered, "Grandpa died of illness when I left Xuzhou......

"He told me that Xuzhou should not stay any longer, and that I must come to Chang'an, so that I can follow the princess's side in order to be safe." He didn't hide it, "Grandpa has been very difficult in Xuzhou for many years, and every year the palace envoys have to send Rongyang pills, and the whole palace has to take them...... Lang Zhong said that he was depressed and sick. ”

In the end, his voice became quieter and quieter, and a frightened look appeared on his little face, thinking that he had followed King Yingchuan in Xuzhou all these years, and he had lived a precarious life, so that he was extremely old and could survive in the face of many dangers.

Lu Shi's heart was like a blunt knife, slowly grinding on the wound, and the tears in her eyes couldn't hold back anymore, and they flowed down.

After a while, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned her head and instructed Xiang Tao: "When the street drum sounds, you will rush back to the palace and bring my flower hairpin Zhai Yi over, and I will enter the palace to face the saint." ”

Xiang Tao's face was full of astonishment, and she responded with her crossed hands, but there was an uproar in her heart, the princess has been living in the Zhongnan Mountain Courtyard since she left the Xingqing Palace, and the palace has not been set foot in for many years, and the princess's dress seal is even more dusty in the palace and has never been touched, and now this is ......

Her heart was pounding, and she only felt that she was afraid that something big was going to happen.
