Chapter 24: Retreat
"Stand down."
Lu Jingxi retreated from the maids and guards on the left and right.
With calm eyes, he watched everyone in the courtyard withdraw one after another, until only two sisters and brothers were left in the courtyard.
For a long time, neither of them spoke.
The breeze rustled the leaves in the courtyard, and gently swept over the two of them, slightly raising the corners of their clothes.
The soft sunlight shone on the two of them, but it seemed extremely calm.
Lu Jingxi spoke first, "It's also a good thing that you have such a city government. ”
"I don't have any city government, but I just want to protect myself first."
Regarding Lu Jingqian's words, Lu Jingxi seemed a little dissatisfied.
"What did you find?"
Lu Jingqian was very surprised by Lu Jingxi's changes, but he still asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
"Pangolin fruit. Concubine Qi's subordinates took it to bury it, and I took it back. ”
Lu Jingxi told her investigation information.
Lu Jingqian's brows furrowed, his eyes filled with hatred, and his voice became a little deep.
"Concubine Qi, why is she so vicious, the mother concubine is quick to treat people gently, and we have no dispute with her, why is she so vicious?"
Seeing that Lu Jingqian's momentum had changed, his eyes became fierce, his breathing became a little short, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Lu Jingxi hurriedly held his hand on his arm and said comfortingly.
"Don't worry, we will definitely make her pay the price, and it is only right that she kills to pay for her life."
Lu Jingqian's mood slowly calmed down, and his breathing became lighter, but he didn't answer, as if he was thinking about something.
"Jingqian, don't get excited, you still have to pay attention to your body." Lu Jingxi was still a little worried.
"No problem. However, the Qi family is powerful, and with these evidences alone, I am afraid it will be difficult for the father to convict Concubine Qi. ”
Lu Jingqian expressed his concern and added.
"With this evidence, Concubine Qi casually launched a scapegoat, and we have no way to take her."
Hearing these words, Lu Jingxi praised Lu Jingqian a lot, and was also happy that he had such intelligence.
"Jingqian, you are very good, you have the city government in your chest, and you have intelligence, over time, you will definitely be able to become a talent."
Lu Jingxi looked at Lu Jingqian, and saw that the sickness on his face had faded a lot under the sun, and his eyes had become more refreshed, and he was a lot more relieved.
The question was asked again, but this time in a much softer voice.
"Jingqian, do you want that position? If you want it, I'll get it for you. ”
"I don't have an idea of that position, plus my body, although there is no danger of life now, it is estimated that I will be sick for a long time."
Thinking of his body, Lu Jingqian seemed to be a little depressed.
"Jingqian, don't worry, my uncle and I will definitely look for good medicine to make you recover as before, you don't have to worry about this."
Lu Jingxi's tone was affirmative and resolute.
Hearing her sister's concern, a smile appeared on Lu Jingqian's face.
"Sister Huang, you have changed, your current appearance, compared to before, is very good."
Hearing Lu Jingqian call herself the imperial sister, Lu Jingxi was also overjoyed in her heart, and realized that her younger brother had slowly begun to accept herself.
"Body is only one aspect, the point is that I really didn't want that position, and I never thought about it."
Lu Jingqian's voice was very soft, but it revealed affirmation.
Lu Jingxi was a little surprised by this sentence, "Why?" ”
"We are just deep in the palace, and we haven't done anything, just because of my status as a prince, because my uncle is a general who commands the border army, and my mother has suffered an accident."
Lu Jingqian's voice became a little excited.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter and avenge my mother."
Lu Jingxi comforted her, of course, this is also her goal from the bottom of her heart.
Lu Jingqian nodded, calmed down, and continued.
"In the final analysis, the identity of this prince is harmful, the imperial sister and uncle can be safe, I will be content, I have no ambition, let others fight for that position."
As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
This truth, as Lu Jingxi, who has crossed over, understands it.
However, I thought that my younger brother had no idea of fighting for the throne, but the mother died because of this, so she became angry and resentful of the poisoner.
"Sister Huang, I don't like life in the Imperial City very much."
Lu Jingqian's words interrupted Lu Jingxi's thoughts.
"Jingqian, since you don't have the idea of competing for the throne, when we avenge our mother's concubine, leave here, go to my fiefdom, and live a stable life."
Lu Jingxi didn't have much nostalgia for this place, and when he heard his brother's words, he gave this promise.
There are many people in the imperial city, and there are many rights and wrongs, and if you want to gain a foothold here, it is inevitable to operate more.
Moreover, Lu Jingqian's identity is special, even if he has no intention of taking the throne, he will inevitably be involved in the whirlpool of power.
Thinking about it this way, indeed, if you go to your own fiefdom, you can have no worries about food and clothing, no worries about housing and transportation, and there is no intrigue in the imperial city, and your younger brother can also live a stable life.
"It's just that my uncle still has great expectations for me."
For Lu Jingqian still thinking about his uncle at this time, Lu Jingxi seemed very satisfied.
"Don't worry, I'll help you convince your uncle."
"Thank you, Sister Huang."
At this moment, the relationship between the two siblings has become a lot closer.
"Jingqian, there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Sister Huang, the Qi family's methods are insidious, you can pay attention to safety and act carefully."
Hearing that Lu Jingxi was going back, Lu Jingqian also said words of concern, and then began to go back to the room again.
This time, Lu Jingxi didn't say anything, and it was a good thing to hide herself at this time.
When Lu Jingxi went out, he didn't forget to advise, "Sydney, remember to find someone to change the bed for your master." ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, not long after you left, the Qi family came to the mansion, saying that they wanted to take Her Royal Highness the Third Princess back."
As soon as Lu Jingxi left the palace gate, he saw people from the house running over and telling the news.
"Let's go."
Lu Jingxi got into the carriage and began to rush back quickly.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that Qi Lei was pulling Lu Luojuan out, and he was still saying cruel words.
"I've learned to find a backer, is it useful to find her as a backer? It's good for you to go back. ”
The third princess Lu Luojuan, who was being pulled by Qi Lei, couldn't stop tears falling from her somewhat pale face, and her body kept shrinking into the courtyard, obviously frightened.
"Stop, the third princess has a noble status, you can be convicted of the following crimes." Lu Jingxi hurriedly stopped.
Seeing Lu Jingxi coming back, Qi Lei was not afraid.
"You don't care about the affairs between our husband and wife, this time the nursing home is not there, what can you do with me, get out of the way."
"Hehe, do you think I won't allow it, people, you will take it away?"
It's true that Qiu Lu is not there, but Qi Lei's fancy show can't get into Lu Jingxi's eyes, she is not afraid.
Hearing the words of contempt for himself, Qi Lei, who had experienced the last beating, was a little angry, took a few steps forward, and directly stretched out his hand to push Lu Jingxi.
