Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 173: Anxiety (4)
It's just that although she had some countermeasures in her mind, Mrs. Lu still couldn't help worrying, so that it was past four o'clock before she dozed off in a daze.

But when it came to the usual time to wake up, he still woke up on time, but he felt a severe headache, so he asked Shuangxi to rub his temples. Unexpectedly, just after Shuangxi got started, a little maid came in and said, "Miss Xuan is here, Said that there is something urgent to see the old lady."

Mrs. Lu's heart moved, and she immediately thought that Lu Mingxuan must have come to enter the palace for this time, she hurriedly said, "Miss Xuan, please come in." Then she waved her hands to order Shuangxi and the others, "You all also retreat, here Just leave Nanny Zhang to serve."

Shuangxi and the others hurriedly bent their knees to say "yes" and retreated lightly.

Later, I saw Lu Mingxuan, who was dressed in ivory lotus pattern plain silk narrow-sleeved gown, her jet-black hair was only partly parted, and she had no other accessories except for an exquisite jasper hairpin with seven treasures, walked in. As soon as he entered, he bowed his knees to salute Mrs. Lu: "Mingxuan pays her respects to Mrs. Lu."

Right now, where she was standing, there was a ray of sunlight coming in from the window pane, illuminating half of her body, covering her whole body with a hazy color, making her look like a spirit rain in the sky. His facial features became more and more exquisite. Seeing in the eyes of Mrs. Lu, she couldn't help sighing secretly. With such a beauty, it's no wonder that the eldest prince is interested in it. No matter what, I must protect her, otherwise I will really let her fall. Once you get into the mud, you will never feel at ease for the rest of your life!
Thoughts flashed by, Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Get up, why are you here so early today?"

Seeing that there was no one else in the room except Nanny Zhang, Lu Mingxuan simply stopped beating around the bush and knelt down in front of Mrs. Lu's bed, saying in a low voice, "I never thought about climbing any high branches. , but I also know the truth of 'I would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine', and with my stupidity, I really don't deserve to be accompanied by a princess. I also ask the old lady to help me out, so that I can continue to live a simple and simple life. Living a simple life, I will never forget the old lady's great kindness until my death!" After saying that, I kowtowed my head heavily.

Mrs. Lu's face had a look of satisfaction, and she felt a little relieved. What made her restless last night was not only the fear of some uncontrollable change in the palace, but also the worry that Lu Mingxuan would be able to Being with the eldest prince is a good thing that can't be asked for. I'm afraid that Lu Mingxuan will lose her eyes and rush to jump into the fire pit. Now she can finally feel relieved. She just said, after all, it is the child she raised herself, and her body is even more serious. With her blood flowing, how could it be as shallow and frivolous as those dirty seeds who couldn't get on the high platform in their bones!
Mrs. Lu's voice became softer, and she said with a smile: "I am very pleased that you have this ambition. Do you know why the ancestors of the Lu family never sent their daughters into the palace? Once they enter the palace, except for the middle palace, even No matter how respected your position is, how can you be favored by the emperor? To put it bluntly, you are still a petty girl. How can our Lu family’s daughter be petty? Don’t worry, I will help you out. , there is also the empress dowager on it, I can still say a few words in front of the empress dowager, I will discuss this matter with the old man as soon as possible, and let him try to deal with you, and I will definitely not let you You fell into the fire pit."

With the guarantee from Mrs. Lu, Lu Mingxuan still couldn't relax. If she didn't know the secret of the eldest prince, she would be able to protect her based on Mrs. Lu's identity and seniority. Empress Xu knew that she knew, how could Mrs. Lu, who knew nothing about it, really save her?In an instant, she had the idea of ​​telling the eldest prince's secret to Mrs. Lu, so that Mrs. Lu and the old man could deal with Queen Xu's mother and son. This secret was so heavy that she almost couldn't breathe. up.

But just for a moment, she dismissed this idea. Once the old man and Mrs. Lu know the secret of the eldest prince, Lu Mingfeng's marriage will definitely change. When Empress Xu and the eldest prince are furious, who knows what will happen? What are you doing?She didn't regret her own death, but she couldn't risk the safety of Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu, as well as the Qi family and An Ge'er, otherwise, even if she went to the underworld, she would be ashamed to see Lu Zhongxian again; and Dingguo Gong Yan Zhi would not be involved in this incident at all. Although she didn't like this place and most of the people here, it didn't mean she could watch them imprisoned.

She could only express her gratitude to Mrs. Lu with a joyful look, then got up and helped Mrs. Lu change her clothes together with Nanny Zhang.

All of a sudden Mrs. Lu, mother and daughter three came, Mrs. Lu was okay, nothing abnormal could be seen under her costumes, but there was a circle of blue shadows under Lu Mingfeng's eyelids, which couldn't be covered even with powder, obviously last night Did not sleep well.

Madam Lu pretended not to notice, and asked Mrs. Lu, "Have all the arrangements for the banquet for Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan Ba ​​in the future have been properly prepared? This matter cannot be sloppy."

Mrs. Lu hurriedly smiled and said: "It's ready, mother just don't worry, but Hui's mother in the second brother and sister's room came back to me early in the morning, saying that the second brother and sister burned all night last night, begging me to call an imperial doctor. Seeing that the second brother and the second younger siblings were banned by the old man himself, they dare not make decisions privately, so I asked my mother to show me."

Second Mrs. Lu regards Lu Mingya as the lifeblood of her eyes. Now that Lu Mingya has been sent to Dajue Temple by the old man himself, she still doesn't know when she will be able to return. Seeing that there is no hope for the rest of her life, Second Mrs. Lu was born again. Weak, under such a blow, it is really strange not to fall ill.

Mrs. Lu didn't have the habit of beating dogs in the water, and she also had to be more or less concerned about the feelings of the old man. Hearing this, she said: "Since she is really sick, it is natural to ask her for an imperial doctor, otherwise she might say something wrong. I'm not merciful, I treat the concubine harshly."

Mrs. Lu was not easy to answer, so she just smiled and said: "After the daughter-in-law goes down, I will send someone to invite the imperial physician."

Because Mrs. Lu didn't sleep well last night, she couldn't help but look tired after talking with everyone for a while, and when everyone saw this, they all got up and bowed to leave.

Back at Kongcui Pavilion, Lu Mingfu asked Lu Mingxuan in a low voice when there was no one around: "How is it, what does the old lady say?"

Lu Mingxuan didn't want her to worry, so she just said: "I have already promised that I will deal with it for me, and also said that if the Empress Dowager really insists, she will ask the Empress Dowager to go to her head, anyway, she will definitely not let me fall into the fire pit."

When Lu Mingfu heard this, Fang patted his chest and let out a long breath of relief: "That's good, that's good, I can finally rest assured."

After Lu Mingfu left, Lu Mingxuan took Danqing to find Nanny Zhang quietly again, saying that she wanted Danqing to go back and deliver things to Mrs. Qi and Brother An for her, and asked her to arrange a car to take Danqing out of the house. Nanny Zhang Although he agreed, he asked the master and servant to go back first, but turned around and reported the matter to Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu thought it would not be easy for Lu Mingxuan, so it would be fine if she could be saved this time. If she couldn't keep it, the chance of her being able to do whatever she wanted in the future was even slimmer, so she turned a blind eye and pretended she hadn't heard about it.
