The psychic princess is cute and sassy

"It's a long story!" Dugu Fan said.

"It doesn't matter! We have plenty of time anyway, so you can take your time!"

The journey to the Prince Consort's Mansion is either long or short. I think it should be enough to tell a whole gossip!
Dugu Yu glanced at her little face full of curiosity and chuckled.

"Liu Xiangqi's ancestor made great contributions to the founding of the country and was named Marquis of Xuanping. The title was hereditary. When it was passed down to his father's generation, he had lost much real power. Although he married the daughter of the Taifu as his head wife, he gave birth to Liu Xiang. Qi, but Xuanpinghou did not get re-employment because of this. When Liu Xiangqi was about five years old, his mother suddenly died of illness. In just about three months, his father married the prime minister's second daughter and gave birth to a daughter in less than seven months. , that is, Liu Qing'er!"

Lu Zhaozhao tilted his head and looked at him: "Even if she gives birth to a baby in less than seven months, it doesn't mean that the baby is not Marquis Xuanping's?"

Maybe……

When Liu Xiangqi's mother was still alive, the Prime Minister's second daughter and Marquis Xuanping were already together, so they couldn't wait to marry her into the palace and gave birth to a daughter in less than seven months!
"Just because she gave birth in less than seven months is not enough to prove that Liu Qing'er is not the child of Marquis Xuan Ping, but what if the Prime Minister's second daughter had a private relationship with a scholar before getting married?" Dugu Fan asked in return.

Lu Zhaozhao's pupils instantly dilated: "You mean, the Prime Minister's second daughter had a private relationship with that scholar and got pregnant. For some unknown reason, the Prime Minister did not agree with his second daughter marrying that scholar, so for Because of the family's reputation, will she be married to Marquis Xuanping as a continuation of her pregnancy?"

Dugufan nodded.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Are you playing so big?

Marrying Marquis Xuanping with someone else's child?

"No! Even if the Xuanpinghou Mansion is in decline, he, a dignified Marquis of Xuanping, shouldn't be so spineless as to want to be a father? Or, the prime minister's daughter's acting skills are so good that the deceived Marquis Xuanping doesn't even know. Is she carrying someone else's baby?" Lu Zhaozhao was puzzled.

Dugu Fan chuckled, with a touch of sarcasm in his words: "What if, the Prime Minister, you promise him enough benefits?"

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

If you have to choose between the continued decline of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the rapid rise to prominence, those who put their interests first will indeed choose the latter!
Not to mention raising a daughter who is not related by blood, even if he raises a few more, I am afraid he will be willing to do so!

after all……

When my daughter grows up, she just needs to find someone to marry. The title of Marquis Xuanping will not fall into the hands of outsiders!
"Since Xuanpinghou married the Prime Minister's second daughter, thanks to the Prime Minister's many operations, Xuanpinghou has regained a firm foothold in the court!" Dugu Fan Youyou added.

"For the sake of the future of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, he endured things that ordinary people could not bear. He can be regarded as a different kind of 'hero'!" Lu Zhaozhao followed him unhurriedly: "But then again, it's so hard. How did you learn about the secret?"

The Prime Minister and Marquis Xuanping are both prominent people in the capital. It is not a glorious thing for a daughter to be pregnant before marriage or to be a father. Naturally, no matter how tight you are, how tightly you cover it, you will never let any gossip leak out. So, it’s a bit strange that he can hear the wind!

"Xiao Yihan said it!" Dugu Fan said.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

As the minister of Dali Temple, is he so gossipy on weekdays?
but……

Everything that came out of his mouth was almost entirely true!
"Before Xiao Yihan became the Minister of Dali Temple, apart from studying, he was most interested in gossip. At that time, there was no gossip in the capital that he didn't know about, big or small!" Dugu Fan said.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Got it!
I didn't realize that he was a good gossip in the past!
"But then again, the Prince Consort probably doesn't know that Qing'er is not his biological sister, right?" Lu Zhaozhao said.

Judging from the previous reaction of the prince-in-law, he must be very fond of this sister!

"Whether he knows or not, I don't know!" Dugu Fan.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Also!

In any case, this is also a family matter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion!
Naturally, I won’t tell outsiders!
"If it is true as the gossip says, Liu Qing'er is not the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, then things will become interesting!" Lu Zhaozhao said.

Dugufan glanced at her sideways: "The premise is that she is indeed the one who manipulated Heng'er!" "That's natural!"

If she was not the one who tampered with the young prince, they would naturally not put their hands into the Xuanping Hou Mansion, but if she was the one who tampered with the young prince, then they would definitely pull out the carrot and bring out the mud this time!

The matter that the Xuanping Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are tightly covering up may be made public!

I just don't know...

At that time, how should the Xuanpinghou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion deal with each other?

-

After half an hour...

Duguwei, Zhu Ziteng and two guards appeared outside the wall of Xuanpinghou Mansion.

Looking at the two people chatting leisurely under the tree, he suddenly felt his teeth itching.

"Didn't you say that you have something to do? Why are you here at Xuanpinghou Mansion?" Dugu Wei gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, he deliberately slowed down for fear that they would not be able to keep up. Unexpectedly, the meeting he mentioned was actually waiting for him outside the Xuanping Hou Mansion.

Dugufan ignored his gnashing of teeth and said calmly: "I'm here to find out if Miss Liu Qing'er is in the mansion first, so that you don't have to make this trip in vain!"

"..." Dugu Wei.

Listen to this king say, ‘Thank you’!

"She happened to be at the house today, take Zi Teng to identify her and see if she was the one who ordered him that day!" Dugu Fan signaled.

Duguwei reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "You come too!"

Since you agreed to keep an eye on him, then he can't even think about being lazy!
"I'll go too!" Lu Zhaozhao immediately volunteered.

Dugufan glanced at her: "Okay!"

The group avoided the servants of the Xuanping Hou Mansion and walked smoothly to the courtyard where Liu Qing'er was. They smelled a strong scent of osmanthus from a distance.

Looking at the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the courtyard that were as tall as two people, Lu Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows.

No wonder...

Your body will be stained with the scent of osmanthus!
"She should be in the wing, do we have to try to lure her out?" Dugu Wei said as he picked up a stone and threw it towards the door.

With a 'bang' sound, two maids walked out of the wing.

After looking around to make sure no one was around, he frowned suspiciously.

"Who is it?" A soft voice came from the side room.

"Miss! There is no one! It must have been the sound of something falling!" the two maids said, looking around again to make sure there was no one, then turned around and returned to the room.

"..." Dugu Wei.

Needless to say, this was somewhat different from what he expected!

"Ziteng! What's wrong with you?" Lu Zhaozhao was keenly aware of his strangeness.
