First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

Lu Shian ultimately failed to help Li Hongting with the snow disaster, but Shen Teng rescued the victims so that the people did not have to endure so much.

Lu Shian was very happy during the Chinese New Year because she had more opportunities to see Chen'er.

Chen'er can already walk unsteadily, but he has lost a lot of weight. Looking at Chen'er like this, Lu Shian felt distressed again, but fortunately the little guy is very healthy.

Li Hongting seldom came to the harem anymore. After Yu Daozi came, he was with Yu Daozi most of the time.

When Lu'er told Lu Shi'an the news, Lu Shi'an's expression was intriguing.

"I've read in history books that many emperors were obsessed with refining elixirs and seeking immortality. I'm afraid our emperor is no exception."

Lu'er didn't believe these things at first, but now with Lu Shian by her side, she feels that immortality is not impossible.

"Did they succeed?"

Lu Shian shook his head: "Immortality is just a beautiful wish. Even if you are an emperor, you are just a mortal."

Lu'er's eyes lit up: "Madam, do you mean that immortals can live forever?"

Lu Shian chuckled: "I don't know if there are immortals, I only know that emperors who seek immortality all have bad endings."

She doesn't care what Li Hongting does, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for her.

Time flies and it is March.

Chen'er is sick, and the illness happened very suddenly.

When Lu Shian found out, he was so flustered that he went to the Empress Dowager's palace without even having time to dress up.

But he didn't expect that Li Hongting, who he hadn't seen for a long time, would suddenly appear.

Lu Shian was worried about Chen'er and had no intention of chatting with Li Hongting, but he had to chat with him.

After chatting for a while, Li Hongting asked slowly, "My beloved concubine, is there anything wrong?"

Lu Shian knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Chen'er is sick, and I am about to go to the Empress Dowager."

"No hurry, I have something important to tell my beloved concubine."

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Since my beloved concubine is so anxious, I will get straight to the point. I would like to borrow that space for a while."

Lu Shian paused. As expected, Li Hongting was determined to take her space.

"Your Majesty, if I can give you this, I will have no objections, but I cannot give that space to anyone else except me."

"My beloved concubine, what you mean is that it is not possible?"

"It's not that I can't, Your Majesty, but this space really cannot be used by anyone other than me."

"How dare you! Do you mean that I am not as good as you?"

"Of course that's not what I meant."

"In that case, why don't you hand it over to me now?"

Seeing that Lu Shian didn't say anything, Li Hongting added: "I'm just borrowing it, is that not okay?"

Lu Shian calmed down and tried to stay calm: "Your Majesty, I have said it many times. If it can be given to Your Majesty, I will definitely hand it over without hesitation, but I really don't know how to hand it over."

"Don't you know? Well, since you don't know, then stay in Ganquan Palace and think about it carefully."

Having failed to achieve his goal, Li Hongting angrily said this and was about to leave.

Lu Shian quickly grabbed him and begged, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to go see Chen'er first? He is by my side now. I am his mother and I cannot leave him alone."

"My beloved concubine, instead of begging me here, you should think about how to hand over that thing, otherwise Chen'er will never see you, his mother, until he dies."

This sentence was a naked threat. Lu Shian almost lost her balance, but Lu'er was quick to support her.

When Li Hongting walked away, Lu Shian suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

"I'll make you a slut, saying everything you should and shouldn't say."

Lu'er was unable to react in time, and Lu Shian's face immediately became red and swollen.

She grabbed Lu Shian's hand and looked at him crying silently with heartache.

"My lady, this is not your fault."

"No, it's my fault, it's my fault..."

"It was me who put Chen'er in trouble. It was me, it was all me..."

"My lady..."

Lu'er didn't know how to comfort Lu Shi'an, so she could only let Lu Shi'an cry on her shoulder.

Shen Cuo stood outside the palace gate, silently watching Lu Shian crying, but he could only watch.

Just as Lu Shian said, Li Hongting became obsessed with alchemy, but it was not so easy to make the elixir that could make one immortal, so he thought of Lu Shian's space.

He thought that such a magical place would be of great help in alchemy.

Especially the night pearl hanging in the room that shines as brightly as the sun, it must be a rare treasure.

Lu Shian was under house arrest again.

When Concubine De knew that she was under house arrest, she immediately asked someone to tell her that Chen'er must have caught a cold and asked her not to worry.

But how could Lu Shian not be worried? The words Li Hongting said before he left made her feel very uneasy.

In the middle of the night, Lu Shian was awakened by a nightmare.

She hugged the quilt and gasped heavily.

Shen Cuo didn't expect Lu Shian to wake up suddenly. He stood by the window and didn't know whether to go in or out.

After a long while, Lu Shian realized that there was someone else in the room.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty." Shen Cuo did not run away in the end. He clasped his fists and saluted Lu Shian.

Lu Shian was surprised that Shen Cuo showed up at this time, but then he thought that Shen Cuo would also come to see him in the middle of the night before.

She suddenly realized that maybe this was not the first time Shen Cuo came to see her.

"you……"

"I shouldn't have disturbed your majesty's rest."

"I used to think it was Lu'er in the room, but now I think sometimes it might not be her."

Shen Cuo didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say. He had come to see Lu Shian, but only a few times. The palace was different from the outside world. There were too many experts here. If he was not careful, Lu Shian would be implicated.

"Shen Cuo, you, you are not young anymore."

"It's time to find someone to marry."

Shen Cuo stared at Lu Shian, which made Lu Shian feel uneasy. He turned his head away guiltily, not daring to look Shen Cuo in the eye.

"If it's not the one I love, I would rather not marry."

Hearing this, Lu Shian's heart trembled.

If she had been braver back then, would they have become a perfect couple now?

"Shen Cuo..."

"The Emperor has confined the Empress. I was worried so I came to check on her. Now that I see that the Empress is fine, I will take my leave now."

"Shen Cuo, don't leave."

By the time Lu Shian reacted, she had already hugged Shen Cuo.

Shen Cuo didn't expect Lu Shian to be so bold. His whole body was so stiff that he dared not move.

"My lady..."

Lu Shian also realized that what he was doing was inappropriate, so he quickly let go and the two of them distanced themselves.

"Shen Cuo, if, I mean if, if I escape from this cage, will you still want me?"

Shen Cuo didn't dare to look back at Lu Shian, he was afraid that what he saw just now was just an illusion.

Seeing Shen Cuo didn't say anything, Lu Shian smiled bitterly: "I know, you can go down."
