Chapter 172: Anxiety (3)
Lu Mingxuan couldn't help thinking to herself, but as soon as the thought flashed by, she couldn't help scolding herself in her heart, she couldn't stay out of the house just because she knew it would rain one day, and she didn't want to live because she knew she would die one day , She didn't do anything wrong, why should she be the one to die instead of those who did something wrong? Could it be that just because those people are more powerful than her, they can control her life and death at will?
No, she is not reconciled, she wants to live, not only to live but also to live well, to make up for what she didn't have time to enjoy in the previous life, so what if Empress Xu is a queen, does she dare to kill her in full view? Can't do it by yourself?At that time, as long as she follows Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingfeng closely, it is not impossible for her to survive. As long as she can escape this catastrophe, she will have more time to plan for the future, otherwise, she will die. It won't make Empress Xu's mother and son feel better, and she must yell out the secret of the eldest prince before she dies, and see who will lose more!
But Danqing still disagreed to leave: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? If the girl really encounters an accident, where can I escape? It's better to stay with the girl. Besides, since the empress dared to let the lady If you bring the girl into the palace, you may not dare to choose the day to do something to the girl, otherwise the old lady will definitely not let it go, even if she chooses a companion for the princess to read, if the old lady really wants to refuse, she may not be able to. There is no need to be pessimistic, we are not guaranteed to die, we still have a very hopeful life."

Lu Mingxuan saw that she couldn't turn her back for a while, so she didn't waste any more words. She just thought that she would find an excuse to go back to Mrs. Lu and kick her out in the past two days. When the time comes, she will leave or leave. up?
I didn't want Danqing to see that she stopped talking, but suddenly said: "Mr. Ling is not working in the palace now, maybe he can help the girl at that time, but how can we pass the words to the palace so that Mr. Ling Do you know about this?"

Danqing's words reminded Lu Mingxuan, but it was not for Ling Mengqi to help her when the time came, but to remind him to pay more attention in the palace, so as not to accidentally end up in the relationship between Empress Xu and the eldest prince, mother and son. : "It's time to remind Brother Ling to be more careful... You don't have to wait for a few days, you can go out tomorrow, find the shopkeeper Xiao Chi, and ask him to go to the Xihua Gate of the Imperial Palace to find a girl named Xiao Lizi." Little eunuch, give me a word to Ling Shixiong, just say 'that person's mother already knows, let him be more careful', if the little gift asks who sent Xiao Chi to the shopkeeper, he will say that it is a person surnamed Luo Let him go, the little eunuch will naturally understand."

Unexpectedly, at Longfu Temple that day, he accidentally heard the words of Concubine Luo Gui and Ling Mengqi asking him to go to Xihuamen to find Xiao Lizi if he had something to do, and now it came in handy. ?

As long as Lu Mingxuan didn't drive him away, Danqing would absolutely obey her, and he answered "Yes" without asking a single word, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely get things done."

Lu Mingxuan thought to herself again that she had to go see Mrs. Lu tomorrow morning. Although she couldn't tell her the truth of the matter, at least she had to make it clear to her that she would rather die than be a concubine, and deeply felt that she was not worthy of being a concubine with the princess. The attitude is good, otherwise in the eyes of others, being able to serve the eldest prince as a concubine with her status is a good thing that cannot be asked for, especially the eldest wife is Lu Mingfeng. Once the eldest prince ascends the throne as emperor, she will be a concubine. How could other men have such honor? Maybe even Mrs. Lu thinks the same way. That would be too bad. She showed her attitude in advance. At least when the queen really does something, Mrs. Lu can help She blocked it, Mrs. Lu is the wife of Chaopin and an elder, and speaking in front of Empress Xu always has more weight than her!

At that time when Rongtai was living in the house, Mrs. Lu was tossing and turning and having trouble falling asleep, so she simply sat up, frowned and said to Nanny Zhang, "Why don't you just take advantage of these few days to make a marriage between Miss Xuan and that child Yanjie?" Forget it, it will save the time when the eldest prince will have her ideas again?" No matter how empress Xu is the queen of the world, she can't force Lu Mingxuan, a girl who is already engaged, to be a concubine with her son, right?
Nanny Zhang shook her head and said, "The empress didn't say anything, she just said that she would choose a companion for Princess Dingyi, which is too deliberate. You don't have to worry too much, maybe the empress really wants to be Dingyi There is no other meaning for the princess to choose to read with her. The eldest lady is always the queen's own sister, and the eldest girl is always her own niece. How can the queen not care about them at all? Just relax, Anyway, you will also go to the palace at that time, at worst, the soldiers will come and cover you with water and earth, so the empress really dares to force you to be a concubine in full view of everyone?"

Mrs. Lu still frowned, "You've seen it too, girl Xuan looks like that, I'm afraid she won't be able to hide for a while, if the empress asks me to give her to the eldest prince, I can still take her." I want to refuse, but if the Empress only asks her to read with Princess Dingyi, I can't refuse. When she enters the palace, it will be beyond my reach, and the harem is the empress's world, so I will directly give the girl Xuan to her. What's the difference between the eldest prince? I brought her into the mansion to support me, in order to find a good marriage for her and let her live comfortably for the rest of her life. live!"

Nanny Zhang thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, on that day, let Miss Xuan pretend to be sick, and then you will say that Miss Xuan has been ill since she came here, and she will be sick four or five days out of ten? Empress The empress is choosing a companion for the princess, not to mention that she has to be with the princess for twelve hours a day, at least for most of the time. If the princess gets sick, wouldn't it be that Miss Xuan will be to blame for death? ?”

Mrs. Lu thought for a moment when she heard the words, then shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work to pretend to be sick. Don't forget, your eldest lady is the queen's sister, and she may not have her own thoughts, otherwise the queen just When this matter is brought up, she can find an excuse to push it away. If I really let Miss Xuan pretend to be sick and not enter the palace, will the Empress know the reason? And if I can pretend once, can I pretend not to be able to pretend every time? At that time, what if the empress sends the imperial physician, what should I do? So the safest way to do it now is to settle the marriage first for Miss Xuan."

"Hearing what you said, it is indeed safe for Miss Weixuan to settle the marriage early," said Madam Zhang. It’s the reason for a long-term engagement, let alone a family like ours?”

There was a smile on the corner of Mrs. Lu's mouth, "During the filial piety period, we can't be engaged, but I can definitely mention this matter to the empress from the side, saying that our sisters had a tacit understanding when the fifth younger sister was alive, and we even exchanged love. As a token, the empress will have nothing to say when the time comes." Unless their mother and son really have no ambition at all, they should cherish their feathers even more.
