Chapter 526 The new favorite (1)
Who knew that in the end, it was Ling Mengqi, a person who strictly speaking had no close acquaintance with him, who was the first to clearly point out his thoughts and say that he was "destined to look down on the sky", and gave him such a gift. Dali is used as a vote certificate to express sincerity.

King Duan's arrogance was aroused all of a sudden, and he didn't deliberately hide his emotions. He slapped Ling Mengqi's shoulder with a palm, looked at him with burning eyes and said in a deep voice: "Definitely Mengqi The help of such young talents is really one of the great blessings in my life, Murong Shen. Murong Shen is here to use the heaven and the earth as a proof. !"

Naturally, Ling Mengqi would not really believe the words 'Share the world', but King Duan's attitude still infected him, and he immediately knelt down on one knee, and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations!"

It can be regarded as formally establishing a master-slave relationship with King Duan, and formally throwing himself into the invisible war of seizing the heir.

The secret conversation between Ling Mengqi and King Duan is naturally unknown to others, but it cannot be hidden from Lu Mingxuan. In fact, Ling Mengqi went to see Lu Mingxuan on the night after the secret conversation with King Duan, and explained everything that happened in detail. He told her, and Wang Duan also told her some unknown things about himself in order to reciprocate.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief, but soon her heart arose again. They had finally taken the first step, but since then they have embarked on a road full of thorns, and one mistake will lead to ruins. If you lose, you will not return, if you succeed, you will reach the sky in one step, but if you lose, you will only die without a place to bury!

But now, they can only gamble if they don't want to gamble. After all, there is still a chance of life if they gamble. If they don't gamble, they can only be the meat on other people's chopping boards.

However, Lu Mingxuan only sighed for most of the night, and had to temporarily throw it away at dawn the next day, because Mrs. Lu's family members from Dingguo's mansion celebrated Ling Mengqi's promotion in the garden. After a day of fun in a small area in the village, after accidentally blowing the wind, he fell ill that night and developed a high fever. The old man and Lu Zhongmian were so anxious that they sent Lu Wenting to invite the doctor from the Imperial Hospital in person overnight. By the evening of the next day, Mrs. Lu's fever gradually subsided.

Even so, the old man is still lingering in the sick bed, and has not recovered. Lu Mingxuan's heart is devoted to her grandmother. Except for sleeping, she spends the rest of her time in Rongtai Residence. Not only is her body in a state of extreme fatigue, but her heart is constantly They were full of anxiety and uneasiness, so they naturally couldn't think about other things for a while. After all, no matter how urgent other things were, they couldn't be more urgent than Mrs. Lu's condition. Lu Mingxuan couldn't imagine that once Mrs. Lu had something wrong, What will happen to me and Duke Dingguo in the future?
On this day, Lu Mingxuan got up as soon as the fifth watch was over, washed up hastily, and after eating half a bowl of bird's nest porridge, she led Danqing to Rongtaiju.

Mrs. Lu hadn't woken up yet, Shuangrui and the two wives, who were on duty outside at night, saw her coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute her.

After Lu Mingxuan raised her hand to signal them to get up, she asked Shuangxi in a low voice, "Did the old lady sleep well last night? Did she cough again? How many times did she sleep in total? Where is Zhang Nanny, she was watching again?" One night for the old lady? In fact, she is not more than two years younger than the old lady, and she is also a very old person. It is reasonable to let her serve the old lady on duty at night, but she is not at ease to let others serve, and the old lady cannot do without she."

Shuangrui answered Lu Mingxuan's words one by one, and then sighed in a low voice: "Who says no, Nanny Zhang needs someone to take care of her personally, but she won't listen to people's persuasion, so there is nothing we can do."

The two of them were talking, when Madam Zhang's voice suddenly came from inside: "But Miss Xuan is here? The old lady is already awake, please come in, Miss Xuan!"

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly stopped the topic, raised the curtain and entered the room lightly.

Seeing that Mrs. Lu had already woken up and was leaning on the big pillow, she saw Lu Mingxuan coming in and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you to come back so early in the future? My illness won't be cured overnight. Okay, I’ve told you all about your aunts and sisters-in-law. Everyone has their own business, so don’t stick to those customary etiquettes, regardless of day and night. Otherwise, what are you raising so many girls and women for food? They They all listened to my words, but you are the only one who can't say anything, and I don't know who is following this stubbornness."

When Lu Mingxuan heard this, she didn't say much, she just smiled and stepped forward to rub Mrs. Lu's temples, but Nanny Zhang said with a smile: "Miss Xuan is also very filial, you seem to be so happy in your heart, but you want to be stubborn , I don’t know who followed this duplicity.”

It made Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingxuan both laugh, but although Lu Mingxuan was smiling, she couldn't help but feel sore in her heart, because she vaguely felt that Mrs. Lu's hair was a little whiter than yesterday, even though she knew this It may be her own illusion, she is still full of sadness, how good it would be if her grandmother could never grow old?
Lu Mingxuan was feeling sad inwardly, when she heard Mrs. Lu say: "Girl Xuan, I remember you will only be fifteen years later, so it's time for the ceremony?"

Lu Mingxuan came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother has a good memory, I am indeed fifteen years old." The sadness in her heart turned into panic, I don't know why Mrs. Lu suddenly asked this question.

"In a blink of an eye, you have grown into a big girl, and you can be a wife and a mother, so how can I not sigh that I am old?" Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "I have been thinking these days, although you are still young Big, you can stay for another two years, but Meng Qi is really not young. If you wait another two years, you will be in your early twenties. When others are at his age, they have already had children and children, so we can't let him wait any longer. , so I plan to ask your father to come in in a few days, and discuss with him about choosing an auspicious date, and after you have passed the funeral ceremony next year, I will arrange your marriage, and I have also settled my mind."

The sudden mention of her and Ling Mengqi's marriage, could it be that grandma and her elders thought that she could not get better, and was afraid that if...she had to keep her filial piety, it would be delayed for another year, so she wanted to arrange their marriage as soon as possible?
Lu Mingxuan was getting more and more upset, but she still forced a smile and said, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to spend a year or so, and I want to stay with grandma for two more years, but now grandma is in a hurry to send me out, could it be that Think I'm noisy, and want to send me out earlier to make peace? Then I won't obey!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head pretending to be shy, but in fact he used this to hide the sadness in his eyes.

Then Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "You don't know the girl I like the most, so why would you think you're noisy? It's just that Meng Qi's child is too young to wait, and I believe he treats you well." With sincerity, our family can rely on the power to suppress him from being philandering before you pass the door, but it is inevitable that outsiders will not look like him. Now that he is getting bigger and bigger, the inner house can't be left alone...you Don't say any more, just wait for me to choose an auspicious date with your father and be your beautiful bride."
