Bamboo horse is king

Chapter 98 Jingqian Teahouse, Meeting Miss Lu Si

Mu Jingyuan didn't ask any more questions. He sent secret guards to follow Shen Jue'er, so he wasn't worried.

"Big ice cube! You should go!" Shen Jue'er started to push people away.

Mu Jingyuan closed his eyes and took a nap.

Shen Jue'er was annoyed, "Why are you acting like a rascal now?"

"You don't want Lu Qiqin anymore?"

"Bastard! You're threatening me again!"

The corners of Mu Jingyuan's lips hooked slightly, and he hugged Shen Jue'er tightly, with a soft voice, "I'm sleepy, please be quiet, I'll give you the piano!"

"This is what you said, don't go back on your word!"

"Ok!"

"..."

Imperial Palace, Yongshou Palace
Chu Hanyue knelt on the ground, her eyes were red and swollen, her voice was so hoarse that she could hardly speak.

The Empress Dowager Chu had a gloomy face, "The king is too deceitful!"

Concubine Chu, who was sitting next to her, wiped her tears with a handkerchief from time to time, and choked with sobs, "Mother, the concubine has said all the good things, but the emperor just won't let go, Yue'er is married to the prince!"

Chu Hanyue sat slumped on the ground, her face pale, her body trembling, and tears welling up.

Mu Jingyuan is too ruthless, wasting her affection... Does he hate her that much?
She let go of her pride and was willing to be inferior to others. In the end, he didn't even want to give her the position of side concubine.

He may not love her, he may not want her, but why should the emperor marry her to the prince?

She is finished, completely finished!

……

The next day, Shen Jue'er changed into commoner clothes, dressed up in disguise, and took the dressed up Yu Qiao to the Jingqian Teahouse early.

The Jingqian teahouse is just a small teahouse, without private rooms. Most of them are places where ordinary people rest in their leisure time, and the nobles will not easily step into it.

Lu Yuwei, the fourth miss of the Lu family, hasn't come yet.

Shen Jue'er and Yu Qiao found a place to sit at random.

The two masters and servants have been modified, their skin is sallow, and they wear a veiled hat that covers their entire faces. Even acquaintances may not be able to recognize them.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Yuwei arrived late with her maid.

Lu Yuwei's face was covered with a white gauze, and there was only one old hairpin on her head. The purple dress on her body was a bit old, it turned white from washing, but it was clean.

She entered the teahouse, looked around quietly, paused for a moment on Shen Jue'er, and walked slowly.

"Girl, can the little girl sit with you?"

Her voice was soft and calm, without much emotion.

Shen Jueer looked at her through the gauze curtain of the veiled hat, and lowered her voice, "Miss, please sit down!"

"Thank you!"

Xiaoer served tea.

Shen Jue'er and Lu Yuwei drank tea separately, but neither of them spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuwei said casually, "The tea here is too bitter, but it can relieve the fatigue and irritability in the heart."

Shen Jue'er hooked her lips and smiled slightly, "Girl often come here to drink tea?"

"Only once in a while! The weather in Beijing is hot. Although the tea here is bitter, it can cool off the heat. There was a bit of wind yesterday, but today it seems not so dull."

"Perhaps...there will be strong winds coming." Shen Jue'er said lightly.

Lu Yuwei's eyes flickered slightly, "Miss, do you understand the sky?"

"Know a thing or two!"

Lu Yuwei didn't say another word, after a cup of tea, she left with her maid.

Shen Jue'er held a note in her hand, lowered her eyes, thoughtful.

This Lu Yuwei, acting cautiously, is a bit interesting!
Now the timing is good, she wants to see what Lu Yuwei will do next.

……

For two days, Shen Jue'er stayed quietly in the mansion without going anywhere.

In the yard

Shen Jue'er was sitting on the stone bench with her legs crossed, eating melon seeds while listening to Yu Qiao talking about interesting things that just happened in the capital.

"Master, the news that Lu Yanlin lost her virginity before marriage and that she would not be able to conceive is spreading all over the place."

"General Lu went to the Crown Prince's mansion. Not long after, the Crown Prince entered the palace to ask for an order to marry Lu Yanlin as his side concubine."

"Director Qi went to the General Lu's mansion to pass the order, and Lu Yanlin suddenly fainted. After asking the doctor to look at it..."
