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

Chapter 216: Killing
When Lu Jing heard that Su Qingwan had woken up, he immediately put down what he was doing and hurried over.

At that time, Qingyun had already told Su Qingwan the whole story, and Su Qingwan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. But when Lu Jing stepped into the room, she was still dazzled by the scene in front of her.

In the past, when Lu Jing was on duty in the palace, he often wore the iconic flying fish suit of the Jinyiwei, which made him look capable and dashing. Now, he changed into the purple dragon robe that was exclusive to the first-rank prince, and instantly looked noble. The rich purple color not only did not steal the show, but instead made his features even more beautiful.

His appearance seemed to be born to suit such rich colors. Whether it was the warm red or the solemn purple, it complemented each other on him. Not only did it not diminish his aura, but it added a bit of majesty and charm.

"Xiao Wu..." Lu Jing took a few steps to the bed, his voice full of eagerness and joy.

Qingyun saw him coming and cleverly stepped aside. Before that, she was feeding Su Qingwan porridge. Su Qingwan had just woken up and was weak. She couldn't eat anything else, so she could only drink some white rice porridge that was as thin as water.

Lu Jing naturally took the bowl from Qingyun, sat beside the bed, and continued to feed her porridge. Su Qingwan came back to her senses, her lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Does the wound still hurt?" Lu Jing's voice was soft, as if he was afraid that a louder voice would disturb the person in front of him. The look in his eyes when he looked at Su Qingwan was full of pity, as if she was a handful of fragile snowflakes, which he was afraid would melt if he held her in his mouth, or melt if he held her in his palm.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Su Qingwan has always been very patient in pain. After Lu Jing's reminder, she remembered that she had not yet asked Qingyun about Lu Jing's title.

Looking at the high-spirited Lu Jing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

Some people seem to be born with power. Lu Jing had just turned twenty when he was already extremely powerful. Now he can even carry the emperor's orders and command the princes. It seems that all this is what he deserves.

From the emperor's appreciation of him to his risking his life to save him, this story has become a legend of "repaying the emperor's kindness on the Golden Terrace and dying for the emperor with the Jade Dragon".

Now, he has finally gotten what he wanted. As a descendant of the branch of the first family, he can become the king of the opposite sex. The original branch has become the main branch, and his branch has become the true direct line of the Lu family. It is really an inspirational legend.

"I heard that you were crowned king, congratulations." Su Qingwan said sincerely.

"Congratulations." Lu Jing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful chuckle.

"What should I be happy about?" A hint of doubt flashed in Su Qingwan's eyes.

"Now that I'm crowned king, won't you become a princess?" Lu Jing smiled, his eyes full of tenderness.

Su Qingwan lowered her head slightly and smiled softly when she heard this. Lu Jing looked at her and his heart softened.

He had been thinking about clearing his little princess's name so that she could live on as the little princess of Huainan. But now the emperor was dying, the situation was delicate, and he was worried about complications, so he could only put this thought aside for the time being.

"So, it can be said that we share the same joy." Su Qingwan raised her head and looked at Lu Jing. There was a gentle and lingering atmosphere when their eyes met.

Qingyun, who was standing by, got goose bumps all over when he saw this scene.

She secretly guessed in her heart that the girl must be pretending.

Her girl has always been the best at judging the situation. Now that she knows that Lu Jing has been crowned king, she must not reveal any flaws if she wants to escape successfully. She will definitely act out those three points of emotion as if they were ten points strong.

Su Qingwan already knew the outcome of this incident, and had no desire to explore the dangers in the process. But Lu Jing was still uneasy. After feeding her a bowl of rice porridge, he gently hugged Su Qingwan, with a bit of self-blame and guilt in his voice: "Xiaowu, leaving you in the deep palace and causing you to almost lose your life is the stupidest decision I have ever made. I'm sorry."

"The struggle for power is a brutal fight of life and death. How could you care about me at that time? Besides, I am not a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. It was just an accident. You don't have to apologize." Su Qingwan said it in a flat tone, downplaying it.

Lu Jing felt a little pain in his heart when he heard this. Su Qingwan was really too sensible, so sensible that it made him feel distressed.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would have hated him to the core, or at least slapped him hard, scolded him for being selfish and indifferent, and asked him why he didn't send someone to protect her. But Su Qingwan was so indifferent, as if she didn't care whether he cared about her life or death.

He couldn't help feeling a little lost. Perhaps there was no place for love in her heart.

"Is the emperor going to issue an edict of repentance?" Su Qingwan suddenly asked.

Lu Jing smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that his little princess only cared about Huainan's redress. "Well, the emperor is serious about his words. He will definitely fulfill his promise."

"That's good!" Su Qingwan was really relieved. "This matter is finally settled. I have always been afraid that the emperor would go back on his word, but he is almost dying, so I can't force him."

Seeing her like this, Lu Jing couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently touched her head, saying, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"Haven't you always been loyal to the emperor?" Su Qingwan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"The emperor is about to die, so I have to have some selfish thoughts of my own, right?" Lu Jing winked playfully, making Su Qingwan burst out laughing.

She could clearly feel that after Lu Jing gained power, he became much more relaxed, and acted more easily. He no longer felt tense, and seemed very relaxed. It must be said that power is a magical thing that can change people so much.

"Where is Nianqing? How is he now?" Su Qingwan suddenly thought of Lu Nianqing and asked.

"The princess sent him out of the capital. The Lu family was slaughtered, and now he is the only one left. The princess was afraid that if he stayed in the capital, he would attract gossip and cause unnecessary trouble." Lu Jing explained.

Lu Jing had met Lu Nianqing once before, and he felt that Lu Nianqing was a very smart child. Although he was young, he knew a lot of things. The destruction of the Lu family should have been a huge blow to a child like him, but he acted very calmly, as if he didn't feel anything.

Lu Jing guessed that he might have guessed his own life experience, or perhaps the eldest princess had intentionally separated him from the Lu family since he was a child, which led to him not having deep feelings for the Lu family.

"On the day Nian Qing left Beijing, he went into the palace to say goodbye without wearing a mask. When Marquis Ningyuan and General Chen saw him, they both fell flat on their faces when they were walking down the stairs." When Lu Jing talked about this, he couldn't help but tell it as a joke.

The two generals, who had experienced hundreds of battles, life and death, and had gone through many storms on the battlefield, were like frightened quails after falling down the stairs. They were so scared that they dared not say a word.

It is said that after they returned, they gathered many generals and got drunk together that night, with laughter and joy heard three miles away. In the hearts of these generals, the King of Huainan and the Crown Prince were always their favorites and could not be forgotten.

Now that they knew that Huainan's bloodline remained in the world, even if it could not be publicized, it was a great comfort to them. They finally understood why the eldest princess hid Lu Nianqing so deeply, hiding it until the Lu family completely collapsed.

After all, if only one person knew the truth, no matter how well it was hidden, it could leak out and bring disaster to Lu Nianqing. If Prime Minister Lu knew that Lu Nianqing was of Huainan bloodline before he died, it would definitely be a sure kill.
