At dinner, Lu Ruoqing was a little absent-minded, so naturally she didn't have much appetite.
Jinyue gave her a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken soup, and persuaded: "The eldest princess has encountered a lot of things recently, if you don't have an appetite, you can use the chicken soup to soak in rice and eat some." β
The chicken soup is thick and fragrant, yellow and clear, with tiny oil beads rolling on it, which is delicious at first glance.
Lu Ruoqing was still not interested.
However, the rice still has to be eaten.
She has never been the kind of hypocritical woman, so according to Jinyue's words, she asked Jinyue to soak rice in chicken soup, and ate most of the bowl of rice with a refreshing side dish, and then stopped eating.
Jinyue and the others withdrew all the dishes.
Su Yue came up with melon and fruit snacks and said, "Celestial princess, it's a good rest, the regent has been busy preparing for war recently, and she will set off for the expedition soon, and the eldest princess will worry more about it in the future." β
Worried about Lou Yunting? Lu Ruoqing shook her head in her heart.
The people she was worried about were Xiao Shaoxuan, children, and even Xiao Hao, and Lou Yunting and Lou Yuxi were separated by one layer after all, plus they were people from hostile countries, so they couldn't say whether they were looking forward to the other party's death.
Seriously, although Lou Yunting is indifferent and ruthless to others, he is still very good to her.
It's a pity......
Just thinking so, I heard Ah Xia shouting outside, "The regent is here." β
Lu Ruoqing put down the tea in her hand.
Lou Yunting wore a black robe, tall, broad-shouldered and broad-backed, revealing majesty in his silence, and all the way in made the people bow their heads.
When he looked at Lu Ruoqing, his expression eased slightly, "Are you better?" How was dinner? β
Lu Ruoqing replied: "It's better, I didn't eat much for dinner, but it was enough." β
"Well, that's good." Lou Yunting sat down next to him, and said: "The battle ahead is urgent, and I have been busy preparing military supplies for the past two days, and I plan to start the army early the day after tomorrow!" β
Lu Ruoqing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Then I wish my cousin a victorious start and a triumphant return." β
Lou Yunting frowned.
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty? Lu Ruoqing asked.
"Well...... Lou Yunting groaned before he said: "Although King Huan has a noble status, he is not good at fighting, and he is not the most tricky person. I'm worried that in the past six months, Xiao Shaoxuan, the king of Zhenbei, has not heard from him, and if he can't ...... it, he is secretly ambushing somewhere. β
Lu Ruoqing's heart jumped slightly.
She tried to stabilize her expression and replied: "I heard that the king of Zhenbei is mainly in charge of Mobei, so why don't you go back to Mobei?" Moreover, didn't you say that Xiao Shaoxuan and King Huan have a grudge? The two of them probably won't join forces. β
"It's hard to say." Lou Yunting said: "Even if Xiao Shaoxuan and King Huan will not join forces, but they can't keep it together, Xiao Shaoxuan will use King Huan to fight on the bright side and calculate secretly." β
Lu Ruoqing deliberately diverged and said, "You mean, you're worried that Xiao Shaoxuan will borrow your hand and calculate King Huan?" got rid of King Huan, the Central Plains royal family had no opponents to compete with him, and the position of the prince was his. β
Lou Yunting shook his head, "It's not that simple!" Xiao Shaoxuan may really have this thought, but if he can make King Huan and I fight to lose, he will definitely be happy to see it. β
Lu Ruoqing is not good at speaking for Xiao Shaoxuan again, so as not to be suspected by the other party.
So he replied: "Yes, cousin, you must be more careful, be careful, I heard that the Central Plains people are very cunning, don't fall for their way." β
"Okay, you don't have to worry about that." Lou Yunting quickly stopped the topic and said, "I also have a lot of clues, and it's not good to talk about this in front of others, so I confided a few words with you casually." β
Lu Ruoqing said softly: "I don't understand either, my cousin has more discussions with the military advisers, I can only listen." β
"Alright, you're resting." Lou Yunting said: "I'm taking the time to come and see you, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are estimated to be busier, most of the time I don't have time to come to see you again, in case you can't come, you can stay in the princess's mansion by yourself, and wait for me to come back." β
"Okay." Lu Ruoqing responded.
However, she knew very well in her heart that she would never wait for Lou Yunting to come back.
The sky was getting darker and thicker, and Lou Yunting said a few more words and left.
Lu Ruoqing called Hong's mother and instructed: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow morning." β
Hong's mother was surprised: "What are you doing in the temple?" β
Lu Ruoqing said: "Things have not been going well recently, so I want to worship the Bodhisattva." In addition, the regent is going to go on an expedition, and my fiancΓ©e should also pray for the blessing of her future husband, and there is always a need to do things for the sake of face. β
The timing she chose was coincidental.
Mother Hong listened to it and did not doubt her motives, "That's okay, the slave maid will go and order someone to arrange a carriage, and tomorrow morning, I will send the princess to Baiyun Temple to worship the Buddha with incense." β
"Well, I want to rest early." Lu Ruoqing sent someone to retreat.
She tossed and turned all night, fell asleep in a daze, and woke up in a daze, always sleeping unsteadily.
Fortunately, I was young, and I got up the next day to dress up, and I was still bright.
Lu Ruoqing, surrounded by the palace guards, went out of the door, and the honor guard of the eldest princess of Ningguo was like a long dragon, winding half the street.
After that, he went out of the city gate and went to the suburbs, and it took half an hour to arrive at Baiyun Temple.
The host master personally came out to greet him, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I knew that the Grand Duke was coming, and the entire temple has been cleaned and the wing rooms have been cleaned up. β
Lu Ruoqing knew it very well in her heart.
With her status as the eldest princess of Ningguo alone, it is not enough to make the host of Baiyun Temple so humble, but with the identity of the regent's fiancΓ©e, absolutely no one dares to be disrespectful to her.
So he smiled faintly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work." β
"It should." The host master was very polite and asked, "Don't you want to take a break and worship the Buddha again?" The whole day is very long, and there is no hurry. β
"Okay, let's take a break." Lu Ruoqing still has to wait for someone.
At the same time, Princess Chang Huan has received the news.
"Princess Ningguo went to Baiyun Temple, saying that she wanted to pray for the regent, and she estimated that she would stay for a whole day."
"Prayer? She also prayed for the regent? Princess Chang Huan sneered and sneered: "She should pray for herself first!" What's the use of pretending now? It's just a showmanship for people to see. β
The people did not dare to speak.
Princess Chang Huan's heart flashed with thousands of vicious ideas.
She gritted her teeth, "Come on!" Arrange it for me. β
The henchman reminded: "Princess, after all, Princess Jianqiu and Princess Qinshui are dead, we have no evidence in our hands, and we can't convince the regent to suspect Princess Ningguo, so we make such a rash move, I'm afraid we will cause trouble." β
"What's the trouble?" Princess Chang Huan was about to explode in anger, gritted her teeth and said: "This woman is insidious and cunning, her identity is suspicious, even if she dies, then I will eliminate harm for the people!" β
She didn't listen to the dissuasion, and immediately called someone in to make arrangements.
But she didn't know that the people she sent out were discovered by Xiao Hao's ambush as soon as they arrived at Baiyun Temple, and all of them were caught alive, which became full evidence of murder!
At the same time, the backyard of Baiyun Temple suddenly caught fire for no reason.
Everyone was busy extinguishing fires and saving people, running around, all kinds of fetching water, shouting people, and reporting made a mess up and down the Baiyun Temple.
In the chaos, Lu Ruoqing successfully separated from Hong's mother and others.
She saw my aunt in the cellar of Baiyun Temple, and she didn't ......, it should be said that she was the real Nangong Nianyao.
"Come, let's change clothes and jewelry." Lu Ruoqing said quickly.
"Okay." Nangong Nianyao looked nervous, and while undressing, she trembled slightly, "Princess, am I really the princess of Nanshu Kingdom?" I, I'm ......, I'm so scared. β
"You are." Lu Ruoqing stepped forward to hold her shoulders and give her the strength to settle down.
"Then after I switch with you, what about King Yu? Will you never see him again? Nangong Nianyao's eyes flashed with a hint of panic that could not be concealed, as well as a faint sadness, "I can do anything for him, but ......, I don't want to leave him." β
Lu Ruoqing was silent and asked, "King Yu, didn't he tell you about the future arrangements?" β
Nangong Nianyao's eyes were slightly red, and she choked up: "He said, let me be a good princess in Nanshu Kingdom, enjoy glory and wealth, and live a life of golden branches and jade leaves, but he didn't say that he wanted to be with me." β
Lu Ruoqing was slightly silent.
"Princess, can you help me?" Nangong Nianyao grabbed her hand tightly and said earnestly: "When the situation settles down, you let King Yu take a break from Princess Wuwu, and then marry me, okay?" β
Lu Ruoqing groaned: "I can only promise, and I will help you convey the words to King Yu." As for how he decides, that's beyond my control, so there's no way to guarantee it. β
Nangong Nianyao's hand suddenly loosened, and said gloomily: "I knew that he never had me in his heart." β
Lu Ruoqing sighed: "Actually, reluctant things are not sweet, why do you have to keep a bitter fruit?" β
"Bitter fruit? Hehe. Nangong Nianyao smiled bitterly.
"You are the rightful princess of Nanshu Kingdom, with a respected status and a noble identity, why don't you look at others? Moreover, the current princess of Ningguo is engaged to Lou Yunting, so ......, you may be able to ......"
"Alright, don't say any more." For the first time in her life, Nangong Nianyao resisted and interrupted the conversation.
She quickly took off her clothes, exchanged with Lu Ruoqing, and changed her clothes silently.
Then he said: "I used to be humble, and I didn't do anything. Now that I have been restored to my status as a princess, it is up to me to decide what I want to do and what I want to do in the future. β
As she spoke, Nangong Nianyao's eyes flashed with a determined light.
Lu Ruoqing suddenly smiled, "That's right, you can try it, use your own skills and means to fight for it." In this case, you will never have to let someone else decide for you. β
Nangong Nianyao looked at her with a solemn gaze and said seriously: "I hope that one day I can be like you." β
---- decide for yourself your own destiny.
