Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 825 The old emperor is indeed unreliable
He Jiuniang didn't care at all and said, "Well, what did you say?"

Before Lu Baichuan could answer, she suddenly opened her eyes and said with a surprised look on her face: "Isn't it related to me?"

Lu Baichuan nodded without saying anything, and He Jiuniang sat up suddenly. She was no longer sleepy at all, but her face didn't have a worried or other look, but... a melon face.

Lu Baichuan: ...He felt as if his worries were in vain.

He Jiuniang really looked like she was eating melon. She sat on the bed, holding a paper bag with snacks in her arms. While eating, she said: "Come on, come on, tell me, what is going on? It's different from what we guessed before. How different is the situation?"

Seeing that she really didn't care, Lu Baichuan told her what Yan said.

"Good guy, I am really a relative of the emperor!"

He Jiuniang blinked and quickly denied: "That's not right. King Xun's mother and concubine is from Beiyan, and her father is the late emperor. How could she be from Dongting? Could it be that they are recognized as relatives? No way?"

He Jiuniang felt that she had eaten the melon, but not completely. She felt uncomfortable.

Lu Baichuan reminded weakly: "This issue is not important at the moment. What is important is that the person behind the scenes is King Xun. He has been exiled for many years, but he can still develop such a large power and should not be underestimated."

Dong Ting has been exposed for so long, but he has been able to hide behind the scenes. This time he was also exposed by Zhuo Wei and his wife, otherwise he could have been hidden for much longer.

"If nothing else, the border penal colony has fallen. They are either full of people looking for the king, or they dare not resist. No one has reported it for so many years. The situation is far more serious than we imagined."

It's hard enough to deal with the Dongting people now, but also to deal with a Xun Wang, and the pressure is instantly increased.

If these two parties were to deal with Bei Yan together, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, Dongting doesn't dare to mess around at the moment. Her wife went there and the effect was great.

He Jiuniang took a sip of water, nodded and said: "It is true that he is somewhat capable, but he is not very impressive in front of me."

Lu Baichuan:......

"You were so worried just now, did you think I would be implicated?"

"Well, although you don't care, other people will seize this loophole and keep slandering you. It's me who will cause you trouble."

Lu Baichuan sighed. He was envied by everyone in the court, and even his wife was stared at all day long.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have to know that I am not the original He Jiuniang. When I came to this world, the only people I knew and cared about were our family. Other people and things have no influence on me at all. As for other people's opinions you mentioned, Then don’t worry about it. When the time comes, I will throw that old guy’s head into the hall, and who will dare to say anything wrong about me?”

He Jiu Niang and his two brothers patted his shoulders kindly, which actually comforted him.

That old guy Xun Wang hurt Jiang Ruoya when he was young and wanted to scheme against her when he was old. He Jiuniang naturally had to teach him a lesson. Throwing his head into the court was the simplest and most effective way to quell everyone's doubts about her identity.

Well, it’s the best of both worlds.

Lu Baichuan:......

Good guy, you are worried for nothing.

"Okay, this is a good idea."

Lu Baichuan smiled and felt instantly enlightened. It was him who used the perspective of this era to embarrass his wife, but in fact there was no need at all.

As my wife said, just let your actions speak for you.

"What we need to find out now is the truth about why King Xun was exiled in the first place. This matter involves royal secrets, so it was kept secret, and basically nothing can be found out."

He Jiuniang analyzed it calmly, and Lu Baichuan said: "Well, I asked before, and even the prince didn't know."

He Jiuniang looked at him with bright eyes: "Then only the emperor knows! Come on, let's go into the palace now and ask the emperor what's going on!"

After talking for a while, she finished eating and woke up from her drowsiness. She quickly got up and washed up. Now she would go to the palace, and later she would be in time to pick up her son from school.Lu Baichuan looked at her in such a turbulent state and smiled fondly. He also got up to change clothes and entered the palace together.

Now that the prince is in power, this matter cannot be hidden from the prince, so as soon as the two of them entered the palace, they asked someone to talk to the prince, and asked the prince to go to the old emperor's palace together to find out what happened back then.

The old emperor was enjoying his twilight love affair with Concubine Liu, sitting in the garden with his feet up and feeding grapes. It felt so good.

The young eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, General Lu and his wife are here."

"Ok?"

The old emperor sat up suddenly, his movements were not at all what he should be at his age. Concubine Liu was afraid that he would move away when he got excited, so she hurriedly supported him: "Your Majesty, please slow down!"

"Don't worry!"

The old emperor said perfunctorily, and while putting on his shoes, he asked, "What are they doing here?"

"I don't know, I don't know, but seeing that you two are very anxious, there must be something important."

"Then you won't let them in? Go and prepare some of the latest refreshments from the Imperial Kitchen for them to try."

"Yes."

The little eunuch hurried out to make arrangements, while Concubine Liu helped the old emperor up with a smile. She finally discovered that the old emperor only showed such excitement when Lu Baichuan and his wife came.

When they went to the living room, He Jiuniang was not polite to him and sat down before he could speak. Lu Baichuan waited for them to arrive and bowed before sitting down.

"Why don't we wait for Gou'er and Rui'er to come together after school? I haven't seen those two little guys for a long time!"

The old emperor looked at them with joy and enthusiasm.

"We have something serious to do. It's not convenient for children to know."

He Jiuniang took a sip of tea and then said: "His Royal Highness will come over soon, and we will talk together then."

Seeing the serious looks on their faces, the old emperor felt that it must be a very important matter, and immediately thought over in his mind all the recent things he knew.

"Is it possible that the girl from Duke Mu's mansion died?"

"puff!"

As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, He Jiuniang couldn't help but sneered and immediately retorted: "You are questioning my medical skills! Deeply question it!"

"Oh, you haven't died? What's going on? Can you be so anxious?"

The old emperor was a little confused. After all, he really didn't care anymore. He really didn't know what happened.

"It's about King Xun's exile. Your Majesty should know about it, right?"

Lu Baichuan opened his mouth to explain and took a look at the old emperor's reaction.

The old emperor was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused, as if he had no idea who this person was.

He Jiuniang was speechless. The old emperor was indeed unreliable.

Fortunately, the old emperor still remembered it, his face became a little ugly, and asked: "What's wrong with King Xun? Doesn't it have anything to do with Dongting's affairs?"

He Jiuniang glanced at him: "What do you think?"
