Chapter 591

Li Chengqi's silence already explained his attitude. The light in Sun Xiaowu's eyes dimmed inch by inch. With some strength, she broke away from Li Chengqi's hand, turned her face to the other side of the bed, and said slowly: "Brother Prince , I'm tired and want to rest, you go back."

Li Chengqi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Sun Zhongyuan came over and said in a cold tone: "Your Highness, my sister is going to rest, I will take you out."

Li Chengqi looked back at Sun Zhongyuan with guilt in his eyes, but in the end he got up and left without saying anything.

Sun Yaoguang quickly followed him and sent him out.

But Mrs. Xie rushed to the bed, took her daughter's hand and started crying again.

Sun Xiaowu had stopped crying, she looked numbly at the carvings on the top of the bed, and suddenly said, "Mother, I figured it out, I don't want to marry the prince brother."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she was stunned, for a moment she even forgot to cry.

After a while, she came back to her senses, held her daughter's hand even tighter, nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you don't want to marry, we won't marry!"

Sun Yaoguang and Sun Zhongyuan sent Li Chengqi away. On the way back, Sun Zhongyuan looked extremely depressed. "Father, I made my own decision this time, I'm sorry."

Sun Yaoguang didn't scold his son, but just stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, sighed: "I know you are kind, I want to let your sister get rid of the knot, but unfortunately, alas..." Sun Yaoguang didn't say what it was a pity, but just said He let out a long sigh.

After Sun Xiaowu was ill for a month, Mrs. Xie accompanied her to the village on the outskirts of the city to recover from her illness. Sun Yaoxian also submitted a memorial, saying that her daughter was seriously ill and was really not qualified for the position of Crown Princess. Please take it back from the emperor and empress. Minister order.

The emperor did not express his opinion immediately, but invited the imperial physician to take care of Sun Xiaowu's body.

Li Meier also heard the news from Jiang Shanqing, she was surprised at first, but then she felt that this was a good result, Sun Xiaowu's temperament was not suitable for intrigue in the harem, let alone sitting in that position.

Li Meier was more worried about Sun Xiaowu's health at the moment. She had gone to the outskirts of the city to recuperate. It seemed that she was really seriously ill.

Jiang Shanqing saw Li Meier's worry, and said, "If you are really worried, you can go to the suburbs to have a look. The Sun family is in another courtyard in the suburbs, and now only Mrs. Xie and Sun Xiaowu live there."

Li Meier thought for a while, but still shook her head, "Forget it, we are all in danger now, so don't drag Xiao Wu any more."

Although the Queen and Concubine Yun hadn't seen anything wrong in the past half a month, Li Meier was still very disturbed, always feeling that the Queen was holding back a big move.

Jiang Shanqing saw Li Meier's worry, held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry too much, Song Lianyi is still in our hands, and the queen dare not do anything to you for her life. And now we have Be on guard, you won't let her easily succeed again."

Although Jiang Shanqing said so, Li Meier always felt that as a queen, she would not give up her plan for the sake of her sister.

After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather started to get colder. Everyone in the Li family started to sew winter clothes. On this day, after lunch, Li Meier accompanied Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xie to do needlework in the yard of their home. The concierge suddenly came to report that A nanny from the Lu family was outside begging to see her.

When Li Mei'er heard about the Lu family, her heart was agitated, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang also frowned.

Jiang turned her head to Li Mei'er and said, "Go back to your room first, I'll take care of it."

Li Meier was naturally worried about letting her grandmother and mother deal with it, so she asked the concierge to invite people in first.

The nanny who claimed to be from the Lu family looked to be in her fifties, with a dignified appearance, and immediately said to Jiang that the side concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince is now at her mother's house, because she was helped by Mrs. Jiang at Tan Tuo Temple last time. , please Mrs. Jiang go over to the house for a narration.

This nanny should be someone from the palace, Xu was sent by the empress to serve Lu Zhiwei, when she spoke with the members of the Li family, her expression and tone were very arrogant.

Jiang knew that Lu Zhiwei had harmed her daughter, so she immediately wanted to refuse, but she really didn't know what reason to refuse.After all, Lu Zhiwei's current status is not what it used to be, and they are not something they can offend at will.

Li Meier saw her mother's worry and embarrassment, so she naturally didn't want to go, after all, she was not stupid, how could she not know that the Lu family and Lu Zhiwei were uneasy and kind.

But she can't refuse too forcefully, she thought for a while, then smiled and said: "The Concubine Lu has an invitation, I dare not refuse. Please wait a moment, Madam, let me freshen up, change clothes, and then set off."

But the nanny said: "You don't need to wash and wash, the wife looks pretty good, it's better not to keep the side concubine waiting for a long time."

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li couldn't help frowning when they heard this. Mrs. Li had a bad temper and was about to speak, but she was stopped by Li Meier. He looked at the nanny and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I think that nanny's words and deeds should have been served by the nobles in the palace. The ladies in the palace pay the most attention to etiquette and rules."

The nanny was obviously a little impatient, and frowned and said: "The palace is naturally particular, but the old slave is not going to take the girl to the palace, it doesn't matter if you are casual!"

Li Meier saw that this nanny didn't want her to delay, so she found another excuse, "In that case, please go ahead, mammy, I will help grandma, and mother will come when she enters the house."

Momo glanced at Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li, her tone became colder, "Madam, please come with me, the old lady and the lady can let the maids help them in."

The smile on Li Meier's face also faded, and she just stood there without speaking.

Seeing that Li Meier was only staring at her, but she didn't move or respond, the mother knew her insistence, hesitated for a while, and then compromised: "Then please hurry up, madam, I'll wait outside."

Li Mei'er nodded, helped Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang back to the main room.As soon as the nanny walked away, Mrs. Jiang took Li Meier's hand: "The nanny looks bad at first glance! You can't go with her, just pretend to be sick!"

Li Meier thought of another level. She took the hands of Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li, and said very solemnly: "Mother, grandma, don't worry about me. I will leave through the front door in a while. You will wait for me to leave immediately." Go to grandma through the back door first, and let people go to the yamen to find father and brother Shanqing to come back, if there is anything, they will arrange it when father and brother Shanqing come back."

She felt that the queen might be in a hurry, and she might attack her family. Although brother Shanqing said that the Xu family had sent someone to protect her secretly, she was still not at ease.Anyway, let the family go out and hide for a while.
