Seeing the tense situation between Jiang Xue and his wife, Lu Qiong Shuang quietly tugged on Jiang Yu's sleeve.

"Cousin Yu, come in with me and sit down first. I'm really tired after standing for a long time."

Jiang Yu said: "Stand and eat."

Lu Qiong shut her mouth.

Jiang Yu said: "Prince-in-law, I don't know why you annoyed Xue'er, but if it is because of this matter in the back house - the guard in the backyard, I would like to think that Xue'er is the princess on the one hand, and the mistress of the Gu family on the other. The right to dispose of it, right?”

Seeing Jiang Xue's cold face, Gu Lintan could only retreat in order to advance, saying: "What His Highness said is true."

Jiang Yu said: "Qiong Shuang, Gu and Xue'er haven't seen each other for a while, so I'm going to use Gu's house tonight to catch up on old times. Can my consort please lend me some time?"

Gu Lintan said: "I am scared. I originally wanted to remind His Highness to take medicine on time to avoid physical discomfort——"

"I've eaten," Jiang Xue replied. She looked angry and said, "I'm worried about my consort."

After saying that, he walked around Gu Lintan and walked towards Wen Qingxuan.

Seeing her leaving, Lu Qiongshuang immediately followed her and asked beside her: "What medicine should you take? Cousin, are you sick?"

Jiang Yu stood there and looked at Gu Lintan. Gu Lintan's face was slightly stiff and he said, "I have made His Highness unhappy."

"Not necessarily," Jiang Yu said. "The daughter's family always has more thoughts, and the prince-in-law should comfort her from time to time. After all, Xue'er has been delicate since she was a child. Isn't the prince-in-law angry with her?"

Gu Lintan said: "I don't dare. I still have some official duties to deal with, so I will leave first and wait until I come back tomorrow to apologize to Her Highness the Princess."

"Husband and wife are one body. Whether you want to apologize or not, just obey her."

Gu Lintan was slightly relieved when he saw that Jiang Yu's attitude towards him seemed to have improved a lot.

"Go ahead." Jiang Yu left a word and walked in the direction of Jiang Xue, Lu Qiong and Shuang.

Gu Lintan's face instantly turned gloomy as he watched the three of them leave.

Ask inside Qingxuan.

Lu Qiongshuang sat on the armchair and said while eating snacks on the table: "Cousin, this cousin-in-law is not very pleasant to look at."

Jiang Xue didn't answer, just sat silently wringing the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

"Eat again? You ate so much for dinner, can't you bear it?" Jiang Yu frowned.

Lu Qiong stood up and said: "My cousin has never been hungry. When I was in the East China Sea, my master was hungry! But the East China Sea is really a barren land. Except for aquatic products such as fish and shrimp, you can't smell any meat or fish."

Jiang Yu asked doubtfully: "Master?"

"Yes, the master I worshiped outside! He is amazing, his martial arts skills are superb, and his qinggong skills are even better!" Lu Qiongshuang said proudly.

"You can still learn martial arts?" Jiang Yu said with a look of doubt on his face: "Your master is not picky. I don't know who is an expert who is willing to accept a disciple like you."

Lu Qiongshuang argued: "Of course Master is an expert! But I am also very good. Master praises me for my good bones!"

"But according to the master, among the disciples she has taught, I am the least qualified." Lu Qiongshuang was a little frustrated and said: "I have a senior brother. The master said he is the best person to inherit the mantle. He has only studied for two years. , Qinggong is like reaching the state of perfection."

"Although you have poor qualifications, you are more famous, right?" Jiang Yu sarcastically said, "If it weren't for your status as a royal noblewoman, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to become a disciple."

"No!" Lu Qiong said angrily, "When my master took me in, I was at the border of Hebei and Gansu. I disguised myself as a man and kept my name. She didn't even know who I was."

"Besides -" she said mysteriously, "my senior brother is the one who really has a lot of background. Guess who he is?"

Jiang Yu sarcastically said: "Who? I have never heard of any nobleman from this Ji Dynasty who is famous for his extraordinary martial arts."

"My master travels all over the world! Of course, he doesn't just accept disciples from the country of Hebei."

Seeing that both of them were not interested, Lu Qiongshuang said directly: "My senior brother is the one who holds the most power in the Qian Kingdom - His Royal Highness King Ruichong!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xue immediately turned to look at her.

She is very sensitive to the word "Qianguo".

Jiang Yu frowned and said seriously: "Is King Ruichong your senior brother?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that!" Lu Qiongshuang was quite proud, and then said, "But I have never seen him."

"Since we are teachers from the same school, how come we haven't seen him before?" Jiang Xue asked.

"It's true that teachers come from the same school, but when my master picked me up, he had already completed his studies and said goodbye to him. It was then that he left the country of Qian and met me at the border."

Jiang Yu asked: "How much do you know about this person?"

"King Ruichong? It's not that we know each other," Lu Qiong said, "Master just mentioned it. Isn't he young and promising? He was crowned king last year and regent not long ago? Master uses him every time he sees that I am not making progress. Come and spur me on, it makes my ears almost get calloused!"

"Regent?!"

Jiang Xue and Jiang Yu looked at Lu Qiongshuang in shock.

"Yes, my master said that. It's normal. After all, my senior brother is too talented." Lu Qiong said.

"Brother Huang doesn't know about this?" Jiang Xue frowned and asked Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu shook his head and said: "In the list of envoys coming to the court this time, King Ruichong was recently added. I heard officials from Honglu Temple mentioned that this person is very unusual."

Lu Qiongshuang said proudly: "Isn't it unusual? My cousin also said that my master is not selective. In fact, my master has a very vicious vision, and all the disciples she accepts are not mediocre ones!"

Jiang Yu ignored her and continued to talk to Jiang Xue.

"Last year, the imperial family members of the Qian Dynasty fought with each other, causing trouble for Xiao Qiang, and their Prince An——"

He glanced at Jiang Xue with a complicated expression. Seeing that Jiang Xue didn't react much, he continued:

"Wang An kidnapped Lao Qianhuang with the intention of usurping the throne, and was eventually shot dead on the throne."

"The position of crown prince of the Qian Dynasty has been vacant since the death of the former crown prince Xiao Hengshuo. The old Emperor Qian especially valued his legitimate son Xiao Ling. When he was seriously ill a few years ago, he even ordered him to supervise the country."

"After all, Xiao Ling is young and has no political or military achievements. Several of his imperial uncles have always been very dissatisfied because of their high achievements."

"In the past few years, King An has been trying to please the old Emperor Qian, and somehow, he may have no hope of becoming the crown prince. Last year, he launched a mutiny in Qianjing, hijacking his own father and trying to force him to give up the throne. "

"His success was about to fail. His great-grandson Xiao Ling had raised thousands of elite soldiers in the capital at some point. In the end, he killed King An in the name of King Qin's rescue."

"The man who shot King An was named Jing Ye, who is now——"

"That's my senior brother I've never met before, King Ruichong!" Lu Qiongshuang took the lead and said, "Lao Qianhuang burped not long after, and that guy Xiao Ling is also a wise man but weak and sick. He has not been emperor for long, and he also followed his imperial grandfather this year."

"How do you know so clearly?" Jiang Xue asked Lu Qiongshuang.

"Isn't this known to the whole world?" Lu Qiongshuang asked doubtfully, "Even if you, cousin, have been in the palace for a long time, you should have heard about it from your uncle and aunt, right?"

"My father, the Queen, and my mother were probably afraid of scaring you, so they didn't say anything." Jiang Yu comforted him.

Jiang Xue knew in her heart that since Wu Anlang, who escorted Xiao Qi and his party back to the country, reported that he died of a sudden illness, the emperor and empress had tried their best to hide all the news about the Qian Kingdom in the past few years. They all knew that Jiang Xue had an old relationship with Xiao Qi. , afraid that she would fall in love with the scene.

Even the father's Wanshou Festival and the envoys from the Qian Dynasty have been concealed to this day.

Jiang Xue responded with silence.

Lu Qiongshuang continued: "What happens next? Cousin, tell me quickly!"

"Isn't this your senior brother? Do you know less than me? Why don't you tell me?" Jiang Yu glanced at her.

"Oh," Lu Qiong Shuang said, "I actually don't know much. I only heard Master mention that he was crowned king, but I really don't know the inside story."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at her and continued: "This person is Xiao Ling's confidant, but his life experience is quite embarrassing."

"Embarrassing?" Lu Qiongshuang raised her voice, as if she didn't believe it, urging Jiang Yu to continue.

"The third daughter of Emperor Lao Qian, Princess Shuocheng, was married to the consort Jingxuan."

"Jing Xuan, Jing Ye - am I the senior brother or the princess's son?" Lu Qiong Shuang exclaimed, "What's so embarrassing about that? Isn't this an extremely valuable status?"

Jiang Yu said: "If you interrupt me again, go out and stand outside."

Lu Qiongshuang reached out to cover her mouth, shook her head, and signaled Jiang Yu to continue.

"It wouldn't be embarrassing if that were the case. However, it is rumored that Princess Shuocheng was pregnant before she got married, and this son is the son of her and her old lover."
