Chapter 194 Follow-up (1)
What's more, without the powerful family of the Duke of Dingguo, the chances of the eldest prince to stand up in the future are even more and more slim, and she can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it?

After listening to Lu Mingxuan's words, Old Madam Lu couldn't help frowning her brows even more tightly, and said in a moment: "Don't worry about why the imperial concubine knew you were in danger, and why she saved you, as long as you are safe and sound Things are fine, and you don't have to worry about the rest. The elders in your own family are the masters. You just need to rest assured that you will raise them for a period of time. As for your elder sister's marriage, the emperor ordered the marriage. Feel free to let it go, and make a decision after I go back and discuss it with the old man."

She was thinking in her heart, could it be that Concubine Luo rescued Miss Xuan just in time to repay the old couple's favor last time?However, it is also possible that she just saved girl Xuan along the way. The main purpose was to attack Empress Xu and the first prince. And he won't support him anymore. Wouldn't the crown prince be in the purse of the fourth prince?

When I returned to Duke Ding's mansion, Mrs. Lu had something on her mind, and she was impatient to stay with everyone. She just said that everyone was tired after a whole day of tossing around, and ordered everyone to go back and rest earlier.

Everyone also had something in their minds. Mrs. Lu was worried that after the day's events, the eldest prince would become more and more unsacred. What would happen in the future? Would it be possible for my family to live with the face of that bastard Luo Shi in the future?Lu Mingfeng was sad that the man his sweetheart loved was actually a man. Could it be that he could only make a show in the future, and he was somewhat skeptical, thinking that it must be Concubine Luo and her son who framed the eldest prince, and prayed in his heart that the emperor must find out the truth as soon as possible, and give his cousin a favor It's good to be innocent; Lu Mingli and the others don't know what happened during the day, but when they think that they haven't met Mrs. Lu's requirements, they can't help worrying that Mrs. Lu will send them off afterwards.

So they were somewhat depressed, and after listening to Mrs. Lu's words, they bowed to her old man as she said, and retreated one by one.

Back at Kongcui Pavilion, the first thing Lu Mingfu did was to dismiss all the servants, and asked Lu Mingxuan urgently: "Since we were forcibly taken away by Concubine Mu during the day, did anything happen to you? I've been terribly worried all the time, afraid that the high mother would be bad for you, luckily you're safe and sound, otherwise I'd hate myself to death!"

Compared to everyone's obviously depressed mood, Lu Mingxuan felt that she hadn't felt relaxed for a long time, not only because she escaped today's catastrophe, but now that she returned to the Duke's Mansion, she was relatively safe, and because Ling Mengqi said to her when she was in the Chonghua Palace before: "My sister doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, I will handle it all. I will never let my sister fall into danger like today again!"

Although she didn't know how Ling Mengqi planned to deal with the following things, she believed him for no reason. She believed that since he said that he would never let her be imprisoned again, he would definitely do what he said!

So instead, Lu Mingxuan smiled and explained to Lu Mingfu: "I'm fine and nothing happened, sister, don't blame yourself, but after you were taken away by Concubine Mu, she didn't make things difficult for you. It seems that he is not a good match, and he was drunk at the time, so why don't you take advantage of the wine to pretend to be crazy?"

Lu Mingfu shook her head and said: "As soon as she returned to her own hall, she was helped into the bedroom to rest. Not only did she not embarrass us, but she was entertained with good tea and snacks, but she refused to let us leave. , I don’t know why.”

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan remembered that on the way back just now, after hearing what she said, Mrs. Mu Guifei suddenly appeared and took Lu Mingfu and the three of them away by force. What he said after the flight was understood immediately.

Mrs. Lu said: "Nowadays, Concubine Luo is the only favorite in the palace. Except for the emperor who has to go to Fengyi Palace on the [-]th of every lunar month due to etiquette, the other concubines have not set foot in the palace for many years. Concubine Luo relies on the emperor and the queen mother. Doting, and being used to being alone, don't interact with other concubines at all, let alone submit, so that those concubines have no way to curry favor with her. In this way, it is okay for a few concubines with princes, even if they are under the knee Those who only have princesses can be counted on for the rest of their lives. Those concubines who have no princes or princesses, such as the noble concubine Fu Jieyu, can only live by watching the queen's face. What the queen asks them to do, even if they don't want to If you are willing, how dare you shirk?"

That's why Concubine Mu Gui and Concubine Fu Jieyu suddenly appeared at that time, and after messing around, they forcibly removed Lu Mingfu and the three of them. The government has offended the three of them too much, otherwise, once Dingguo's government is in trouble, it is definitely not something her little concubine can afford, and that's why she will let people treat the three of them with good tea and snacks, which is tantamount to disguised In fact, she was forced to express her position to Dingguo's mansion, and she didn't really want to be an enemy of Dingguo's mansion.

Lu Mingxuan said: "If you can't think of the reason, don't worry about it. After all, we probably won't have the chance to enter the palace again. Naturally, we won't be able to deal with this concubine or that concubine in the palace anymore. Why bother ourselves."

Lu Mingfu nodded: "Well, after today's incident, I don't want to enter the palace anymore in my life. Although the palace is good, the rules are also strict. Who knows when I will offend some nobleman and get beaten for nothing. Lost your life? It’s better to stay at home... By the way, I heard that you got rid of that empress Gao only when you met the imperial concubine, what’s going on?"

Since Concubine Luo has said in front of so many people that she accidentally met Lu Mingxuan who was alone in Shanglin Garden, this is the official excuse. Lu Mingxuan did not want Lu Mingfu to know too much, so according to the official He repeated his words, and finally said: "I thought that a person like Madam Gao would definitely not leave me alone for no reason, I'm afraid there are other intentions and I don't know, maybe the beating made me accidentally Met the First Prince, and then got a bad reputation of 'secretly giving and accepting', so I can only be a concubine for the First Prince... Fortunately, I met a noble concubine, otherwise I don't know what will happen to me."

Lu Mingfu was startled and angry when she heard this, and cursed angrily: "You're so heartbroken, you don't have to worry about being struck by lightning for such a powerless little girl!" Nanny, you are still scolding Empress Xu.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help sneering to herself, it's better to expect God to punish those wicked people than to do it herself, why is God not the same as human beings, they all bully the good and fear the evil?
After sending Lu Mingfu away, Lu Mingxuan lay down on the bed after washing up briefly. Only then did she realize that her whole body was in unbearable pain, especially after being slapped so hard by the First Prince during the day, her ears were still buzzing. , but his mind is extremely clear.
