"Let's go, each has its own way to go, and there are some favors that can't be helped."

Compared with Zhong Weiwei's emotion, Duanren's guilt and sadness, and Ah Cai's worry and fear, Chonghua is the calmest one.

He hugged Zhong Weiwei into the chariot and thoughtfully explained to Duanren: "Sister, I just experienced this incident, the people in the Holy Maiden Palace probably need you to give an explanation, and you have to gather those people, you don't have to follow us, let's get busy first." ”

After such an incident, Duanren felt a sense of the rest of his life after death, and at the same time, shame, pain and tension occupied the whole mind, and he really didn't have the spirit to continue to hold on, so he listened to Chonghua's words and took Ah Cai away.

The emperor and queen rode together and marched to the temple, and everyone cheered up and continued to watch the ceremony.

The smell of blood in the square was quickly forgotten by the cheering crowd, and Concubine Lu looked at the eldest princess of the Protector with heavy eyes.

The eldest princess of the protector of the country behaved very strangely today, she had always been an energetic old lady in the past, but today, except for the first time she scolded Chonghua and asked him to help Zhong Weiwei go to the altar, she has been closing her eyes and recuperating at other times, and she looks very unenergetic.

Maybe it's because the old immortal is finally dying?

Concubine Lu thought viciously, if this old immortal died, with Duanren, I am afraid that he would not be able to easily gather the remaining people in the Holy Maiden Palace, and Chonghua would not want to use the Holy Maiden Palace to expand his power.

What's more, without the old immortal, Chonghua and Zhong Weiwei's small life would not be so comfortable.

Do you want to kill this old immortal?

Concubine Lu had this thought in her heart, and she couldn't stop anymore, but unfortunately, under the current situation, she didn't dare to act rashly.

But there is a way not to let Duanren take the power of the Holy Maiden Palace alone.

The group of talents in the Holy Maiden Palace have suffered a big change, some people are dumbfounded and have no ideas, and some people have lively eyes, their eyes are flashing, and they look at other thoughts.

How sincere can the obedience obtained under coercion be? If Duanren can't explain the matter of the illegitimate child well, I'm afraid that the Holy Maiden Palace will be messed up immediately.

Concubine Lu's gaze fell on a woman with a thin body, a small mouth, a small face, and big eyes, and the woman was whispering something to the people around her at the moment, glancing at Duanren from time to time, and her partner was also convinced.

That's her! Concubine Lu recognized this woman.

Xue Meiying, a descendant of the Dongling clan, her great-grandfather was a county king in Dongling, but there are many children and grandchildren, but there is only one title, and the family property is also very limited.

So one generation is not as good as the next, and when it comes to Xue Meiying's mother's generation, it is already an ordinary family without any title, but Xue Meiying's mother is naturally unwilling to admit defeat, and seeing that there is an opportunity to choose a saint, she sent her daughter to the saint's palace.

originally hoped that Emperor Qianyang would be able to help her, but Qianben looked down on Xue Meiying, and she herself was in the prime of life, so she didn't want anyone to take over, so she was very picky about Xue Meiying.

Xue Meiying is usually very tolerant and painstaking in management, but she also gathered a group of people around her, but when she saw that the situation was not right today, she immediately stood on Duanren's side.

But this doesn't mean that she really listens to Duanren's words, she is ambitious, and she just wants to replace the position of Emperor Qianyang.

But judging from the current situation, Li Guo will never allow another Dongling Holy Maiden in the Holy Maiden Palace, then the contradiction will come, in order to achieve the goal, Xue Meiying will definitely find a way to suppress and squeeze out Duanren.

You have to pull this Xue Meiying to do it, Concubine Lu gave a few words of command, and Yuxin took the order and left.

After the royal driver left, some palace people went over to invite the people of the Holy Maiden Palace to rest in the nearest Tingfeng Palace, and said that Duanren and the eldest princess of the Protector would go to personally receive and comfort them.

"What should I do?" Several deacons from Dongling were shaken together, suspicious that they wanted to coax them in and kill them.

Xue Meiying was confident: "Don't be afraid, even if the Kingdom of Li is about to start a war against Dongling immediately, he won't kill all of us, unless he doesn't want to use the power and prestige of the Holy Maiden Palace, things will be opposed, and indiscriminate killing is not a good reputation." ”

With her taking the lead, all the people in the Holy Maiden Palace followed the palace people to the Tingfeng Palace, and a palace person approached Xue Meiying: "The slave maid has been ordered by the eldest princess to serve the nobles, may I ask you what you need to eat?" ”

Xue Meiying unceremoniously ordered a few things to eat, and suddenly heard the palace people say a few words in an extremely low voice, and couldn't help but shrink her pupils and nodded.

Outside the hall, someone from the palace came to urge Concubine Lu: "Please go to the ceremony." ”

Concubine Lu raised her forehead and sighed: "I'm old, I'm in a bad mood, I'm afraid I can't serve Your Majesty and the queen, I implore you to go back to Furong Palace to rest, so as not to faint and affect the celebration of the ceremony." ”

The palace people knew that she was unhappy because of King Wu's affairs and didn't want to cause more trouble, so they didn't continue to force her, but went to pass the news in.

Concubine Lu and her entourage walked towards the inner palace in a majestic manner, and Lu Xinglu couldn't help but be anxious when she saw this, so she hurriedly rushed up and said, "Auntie, do you want to go back?" ”

Concubine Lu said sternly: "This palace is worried about King Wu, you are in a bad mood, you are so good to serve Your Majesty, there must be no mistakes!" ”

Lu Xinglu was like falling into the fog, she didn't know what she was thinking, and everyone had to agree to catch up with the team in front of her.

Someone soon reported the situation here to Chonghua, and Chonghua said lightly: "If she really goes back to Furong Palace, then that's fine, it's just half a day's work." ”

Half a day is the deadline he set for Lu Shi.

In the smoke, Chonghua and Zhong Weiwei steadily entered the temple, and under the guidance of the ceremonial official, they kowtowed and paid tribute to their ancestors.

At the door near the palace that was specially used to pull filth out of the palace, Li Shang was taken out of the door by two palace people, and Lu Xinglu's eldest son Lu Zilai led someone to wait outside to answer, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly led him away: "Hurry up, it will be miserable to be seen." ”

Li Shang was silent, hurriedly followed him on the horse, and fled with his head buried.

At this time, the changes in the palace have not yet spread to the outside of the palace, the street is still very lively, the colorful sheds on both sides of the road are still performing, the people have not yet dispersed, gathered together in twos and threes, excitedly discussing the grand occasion of the emperor's wedding.

Everything was as usual, no one noticed them, Li Shang breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered Lu Zilai: "Let's go out of the city directly, I'm afraid it'll be too late." ”

The same is true of the order Lu Zilai received: "Okay, you follow me closely, and I will take you to take a shortcut." ”

More than a dozen heavily armed guards escorted the two to an alley, where a fire-breathing performance was being performed in the alley booth, and a group of people clapped their hands and blocked the road.

The guards stepped forward to chase the people, but the trickster jumped up from the platform, landed in front of Li Shang's saddle and rode upside down, spewing out a mouthful of flames head-on.
