Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 193 Missing
The emperor has been in court for a long time and has a deep mind. He is not someone who can be easily persuaded by a few words.

When Su Qingwan bluntly said that the throne would fall into the hands of Xinan sooner or later, his face suddenly turned cold, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He thought, Su Qingwan is the princess of Xinan, and since she knows that Xinan covets the throne, how can he trust her? In this court, the clouds are treacherous and the human heart is unpredictable. Behind every word and every action, there may be a thousand-weight calculation hidden.

Su Qingwan felt helpless when she saw this.

There were some things that she really couldn't confess to the emperor. They were secrets related to the lifeline of the southwest and could not be easily disclosed. In this deadlock, the two of them finally parted unhappily.

But Su Qingwan knew in her heart that the emperor was not a foolish man. He was a smart man who understood the seriousness of the situation. If she wanted to pave the way for the eldest prince, the most important thing right now was to let go of her obsession and make the right choice. She could no longer be stubborn and act on her own.

For the emperor, only by staying alive can he have a chance to plan for the future of the eldest prince. Su Qingwan secretly thought that as long as the emperor was willing to overturn the case in Huainan and no longer embarrass Xinan, she would be willing to put aside her past grudges and help him recover based on her understanding of the poison that the emperor had been poisoned with. She knew the characteristics and solutions of those poisons very well, and she only hoped that the emperor could weigh the pros and cons and make a wise move as soon as possible.

Three days later, a shocking piece of news spread across the country like a gust of wind, and unsurprisingly reached the palace: the King of Southwest encountered a rare snowstorm on his way back to the southwest, was trapped in a cave, and eventually froze to death.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingwan felt her chest tighten suddenly, and her heart beat so hard that it seemed to burst through her chest. She knew very well that Lu Jing was escorting her father back to the southwest, and she also knew that the eldest princess was always ambitious and must have some plans. But she was still certain in her heart that her father must still be alive, and this was most likely a carefully planned game!

How could Lu Jing kill his father? He was definitely not the kind of person who would collude with the eldest princess.

But what if? What if she was wrong about Lu Jing? If Lu Jing really colluded with the princess, and her father really met with an accident, then her brothers would definitely rise up and raise troops to resist. By then, Dayuan would be plunged into a civil war, and the generals would be divided into two groups due to their different positions, and they would be caught in a life-and-death struggle. The people would be devastated and blood would flow like a river. When Su Qingwan thought of this, she felt a chill running from her feet to her forehead.

As soon as the news of the death of the King of Southwest reached the palace, the eldest princess couldn't wait to enter the palace.

She went straight to the Yangxin Palace. The emperor was in a bad mood because of the matter of the Southwest King. He often meditated alone in the Yangxin Palace. Even the grand court meetings were put on hold, and most of the court affairs were handled by the cabinet. In the past few days, the eldest princess became the only person he was willing to see.

Su Qingwan was anxious when she learned that Lu Jing was about to return to Beijing. She came to the palace gate early to wait. At this time, it was freezing cold, and the red walls and green tiles in the deep palace looked particularly solemn in the heavy snow. The snowflakes fell one after another, as if to bury the whole world.

Su Qingwan was dressed in plain clothes, standing in the snow. The cold wind cut across her cheeks like a knife, but she was unaware of it. Her posture was firm, like a sculpture. She was gradually covered by snowflakes in the wind and snow, and was about to turn into a snowman.

Qingyun beside him looked distressed and advised with a worried look on his face: "Miss, the snowstorm is too strong. Your body can't bear it. How about we go to the palace and wait? According to the schedule, Lord Lu should arrive in the afternoon."

Su Qingwan stared at the palace gate in the distance with a firm gaze, and said in a resolute tone: "No, I will wait for him here and not go anywhere."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of horse hooves not far away. The Jinyiwei, led by Long Zhang Feng Zi, wearing a scarlet flying fish official robe, was like a bright fire, piercing through the white snow and rushing towards her!
It’s Lu Jing!
He is back!

Su Qingwan's heart became extremely excited, her heart was pounding. She didn't know when it would take for someone to come back so eagerly. She knew it so clearly.

She wants to see him!
