After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 471 This Time, He Really Regrets

During this meal, the three members of the family each had their own thoughts.

Prince Xian was still thinking about the assassination of Lu Ji entrusted by the new emperor. Qin Xiaoning looked normal, but her heart was mixed with thoughts. Only Prince Xian's wife was silly and truly happy because she had her daughter by her side.

After the dishes were served, the maid brought bird's nest soup. Princess Xian greeted her daughter warmly: "This is the most nourishing soup for women. I drink it every day."

"I use it every day." Qin Xiaoning glanced at the bird's nest soup that the maid had just brought to her, and then asked the Princess of Xian: "Do you always use white bird's nest?"

Princess Xian nodded and said, "This is already very rare." Then she asked her daughter, "What kind of bird's nest do you usually use?"

Without waiting for Qin Xiaoning to agree, Song Zhi, who was serving her at the banquet, continued, "The princess uses blood swallows every day at home."

Even the white swallow is a luxury to be able to enjoy every day. I never thought that my daughter could enjoy the blood swallow, which is worth a fortune, and use it every day.

The wife of the virtuous prince could not help but take a breath of cold air: "Blood swallows are precious, but not easy to obtain."

Songzhi said, "When the princess first came to the mansion, she was very thin. In order to nourish her body, the prince went to great lengths to get blood swallows from the southern barbarians where blood swallows are abundant. Later, whenever there were blood swallows there, they were offered to our prince. The prince brought them all to his use. Over the years, it has never stopped."

It was just the casual chat between mother and daughter, but it made Prince Xian feel even more uncomfortable.

Lu Ji saved his daughter and doted on her, but he wanted to kill him.

It's really unfair.

Prince Xian didn't even dare to visit his daughter.

The family had just finished their meal when a maid came in and reported that the Regent had arrived.

Prince Xian was shocked again when he heard this.

He actually came.

At this moment, he hoped that this man who coveted the Zhao family's kingdom would never appear in his mansion. Whoever wanted to kill him could go ahead, but in short, just don't drag him into it.

He felt a little regretful.

But now, he had no chance to regret. The new emperor had been sending people to keep an eye on Lu Ji's movements. When he got up and rushed here, they had already set up a trap to lure him to death. Just in case, he wanted to put some poison in Lu Ji's tea to ensure that he would not be able to escape and would die smoothly under the knife of those assassins.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. He had to poison the person. Otherwise, with his skills, if the assassins failed, the entire Zhao family would be wiped out by Lu Ji.

"Please invite my son-in-law to the front hall to talk." After another mental struggle, the virtuous prince calmed down and said calmly to his confidant behind him, "Go and get the good tea that I have treasured for a long time to entertain my son-in-law."

The confidant took the order and left, and the family of three followed him out of the banquet hall and came to the front hall.

Lu Ji was being led towards this side by a servant with big strides. The man had a tall and straight figure, and was wearing a scarlet dragon robe. The ferocious coiled dragon pattern on his chest made him look a bit arrogant. Coupled with his cold demeanor, even from a distance, the majesty emanating from this man made people feel oppressed.

The Princess of Prince Xian likes gentle men like her husband. Every time she sees Lu Ji, she feels depressed, and this moment is no exception. Her smiling face suddenly became wooden. She was about to say a few words to her daughter, but she saw that her originally gentle and lovely daughter had already run out excitedly, and threw herself into the man's arms in front of them.

There is a sense of unbridled coquettishness.

The man stopped and whispered to her lovingly.

Never mind, as long as my daughter likes it. Princess Xian thought so and turned to look at her husband, only to see that Prince Xian looked conflicted.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Prince Xian quickly gave his wife a comforting look, then stepped forward to greet Lu Ji and said, "My dear son-in-law, you have worked hard for the country."

Lu Ji just smiled politely and didn't say anything.

When they arrived at the reception room, Prince Xian personally ordered someone to serve fragrant tea: "This is the good tea I got this year, from the Southern Frontier. Please have a taste, my dear son-in-law."

Lu Ji smiled and said yes. When he picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, he suddenly stopped and turned to his wife beside him and said, "You want to stay here today?"

Without waiting for Qin Xiaoning's consent, the Princess of Xian said anxiously, "Yes, we want to keep Ah Ning for a few days. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the mansion, so you can stay. If there is any problem over there, Ah Ning can go back. Anyway, our two mansions are not far away."

Lu Ji said: "Okay, then let's stay here for a few days."

As he spoke, he brought the teacup to his lips again, covered his face with his sleeve, took a sip elegantly, then looked at Prince Xian and said, "Father-in-law, this tea is really good."

Prince Xian turned his head away guiltily, and just echoed: "As long as my son-in-law likes it."

Lu Ji was not a talkative person. After a few more pleasantries, he was about to get up and leave. Prince Xian and his wife and Qin Xiaoning saw him out. When they reached the gate, Qin Xiaoning suddenly said to Prince Xian and his wife, "I still can't let go of my children at home. I'd better go back with my husband."

Now, Prince Xian was very anxious.

An assassination attempt on Lu Ji had already been arranged halfway. If my daughter followed him, wouldn't it be dangerous?

"How can this be done?" In a hurry, Prince Xian's voice almost changed.

Qin Xiaoning glanced at her father and smiled faintly: "It's just that my daughter wants to go home with her husband, what's wrong with that?"

Prince Xian hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, you have already agreed to accompany us today, and your mother is in high spirits. If you suddenly change your mind, she will definitely be disappointed. Today is her birthday, and Ning shouldn't let your mother down."

Qin Xiaoning replied softly, "I know this will definitely disappoint you, but I have young children at home. I'm sure you can understand my daughter's difficulties."

"Well, if you can't bear to leave me, I'll come back tomorrow. We're not far away anyway."

After saying this, the little woman got into the carriage on her own without waiting for the Prince and his wife to try to stop her.

Prince Xian hurried to the front of the carriage and tried to stop him. Lu Ji immediately jumped on the carriage and said to Prince Xian, "Father-in-law loves his daughter dearly, but I spoiled Ning. She always does whatever she wants. Never mind. Just let her do what she wants."

After saying this, without waiting for Prince Xian to react, Lu Ji slammed the car door shut.

Seeing the carriage going away, Prince Xian didn't care about his appearance and ran after it. He kept calling his daughter, but there was no response. Only when the carriage ran away and he could no longer catch up with it did Prince Xian gradually stop.

I can’t describe the feeling in my heart.

This time, he really regretted it. (End of this chapter)
