The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Hearing Princess Xinping's annoyed voice, even the servant girl who was waiting beside her bent her lips. She boldly looked at Lu Shi, and found that the corners of her lips, who had always been indifferent, also had a slight curvature.

Chu Ran left with anger, and the sound of leaving footsteps reached Lu Shi's ears, and the smile on his lips was slightly restrained, and he said, "Is there a reply from the prince?"

"No, calculating the time to go back and forth, it will be tomorrow at the earliest." The maid said.

Prince Chu Ying's letter arrived at dusk on the second day. The maid read it to Lu Shi. Lu Shi understood, and said, "Send the letter to Princess Xinping, so that she can feel at ease."

"Yes, it's just that the maidservant doesn't understand why you left the princess here, and she's getting more and more dissatisfied with you." The maidservant put the letter away, looked at Lu Shi, and was very puzzled.

"She has a bad temper, it's just grinding her temper." Lu Shi said lightly.

The maid was stunned, is this also a reason?Princess Xinping has a good temper. After all, it is not easy for her and the prince to support each other until now. If she had a bad temper, something would have happened long ago, and the prince would not have the status she has today.

She left in bewilderment and handed the letter to Princess Xinping.

Chu Ran knew Brother's handwriting, and almost wept with joy, even throwing away the humiliation by Lu Shi yesterday, she looked at the maid after reading it: "Lu Xiang asked you to send it?"

The maidservant has followed Lu Shi for many years, and knows the entanglement between the two, and Princess Xinping has her own plans, so she nodded in response if she didn't want to talk more.

"What's your name?" Chu Ran asked, she had never been to the Lu Mansion, and she didn't know these maidservants, but this person appeared in a dream, and it seemed that her name was Axiu.

The maid said: "I call Axiu."

In this way, Chu Ran was even more convinced that the dream after falling into the water was a real experience. She rubbed her forehead and waved her hand to signal her to back down.Originally wanted to ask about the affairs of the outside world, but this Axiu was so shrewd, she might not reveal it.

This Lu Shi really hates her, after all he wants to imprison her till now.

****

Chu Ran was not there, and there were frequent incidents in the disaster relief camp, so Lu Shi had to go there himself.

Sitting in a wheelchair, she asked someone to build a screen into the tent, and summoned General Xiao Ming who followed Chu Ran all the way.It has been three or four days since Chu Ran fell into the water, and the prince passed the letter over, but the emperor in the city of Yingdu remained indifferent.

These things can only be hidden in her heart, she first told Xiao Ming: "You send someone to find the whereabouts of the prince, don't worry about it too much, and follow the people from the Hedao Yamen to find out why the embankment broke. It is not a common thing to break the embankment. Pay attention, and I'll take care of the rest."

Lu Shi's voice was almost ice-cold, Xiao Ming couldn't see her through a screen, but when the prime minister came, he rushed to take orders as if he had seen a savior.

Xiao Ming retreated for a moment before he arrived, he quickly ran in and said happily: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, the food is here, the food is here."

The food that Chu Ran asked people to buy could hardly last for a few days. In addition to her disappearance, the rest of the people also forgot to urge the food, and the food came when they didn't want it.

Lu Shi kept his composure and ordered: "Xiao Ming, you asked someone to return the grain from those grain merchants with IOUs, write down the receipts after the settlement, and use grain to pay for the medicinal materials. Be sure to repay these debts. It's all cleared up."

"Ah? Why?" Xiao Ming paused with his mouth shut, and finally returned the food, so what's next?

However, Lu Shi said: "The crown prince is missing. The food owed before will be used by those who are interested. Paying it back immediately will save a lot of trouble, and tomorrow Hengwang will come. It is his business to have no food."

As soon as Xiao Ming slapped his thigh, he understood that Hengwang was here to pick up a bargain. He would not care about the food owed at that time, and would say it was the prince's fault. It's all the prince's, such a vicious scheming.

He hastily raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, I will make arrangements now, and I promise to return the food before King Heng arrives tomorrow." When he exited the tent, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, what happened to Lu Xiang? Know that King Heng is coming?

The prince was assassinated, and the evidence was washed away by the river, and it was impossible to obtain evidence.Lu Shi only asked people to follow the Hedao Yamen to investigate, and at this time he invited all the people from the Hedao Yamen.

Lu Xiang came over suddenly, almost no one knew about it, there were more than a dozen people from the Hedao Yamen, and Lu Xiang only invited three people into the tent.

The three were terrified, and when they entered, they only saw a screen. They looked at each other, looked at each other, and saluted together.Lu Shi said to them through the screen: "The breach of the embankment was due to the negligence of your river yamen, and now you are so tired that the prince's life and death are unknown. Will you survive after returning to Yingdu?"

"Prime Minister, it was God's will to break the embankment. The embankment was very stable when I left before, and I did not neglect it."

"The crown prince encountered an assassin, not the ministers and others. I can't blame the ministers for this."

"Prime Minister, I checked the embankment recently. Unless it rains for several days and causes the river to swell, the embankment will not burst. After asking carefully, the embankment collapsed after only two days of rain. I'm afraid there is something strange about it. .”

The last person told the truth, Lu Shi nodded, and said: "Then continue to investigate, I have already reminded you, if something happens to the prince, the Hedao Yamen will be the first to bear the brunt."

"Understood, Prime Minister Xie reminded me to go back and investigate thoroughly."

A few people left the tent gratefully, and Lu Shi told Axiu after the people had retreated: "Take someone to follow, and the prince may arrive here tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, it will have to be the day after tomorrow." Axiu said, the prince's health is not good, and it is not easy to come here day and night.

Lu Shi knocked on the corner of the table with his hand, and after pondering for a while, he ordered: "Then let King Heng come later."

As soon as King Heng comes, Chu Ran will be found out pretending to be the prince, so the prince can only come here in person. It hasn’t rained for three or four days, and the danger is gone. All credit.

After returning to Zhuangzi, she happened to meet Chu Ran who was going out to relax, and Axiu reminded Lu Shi in a low voice.

Lu Shi nodded and told Axiu to avoid her.Chu Ran is not stupid. The last time she was spying on her, she almost found out that she was blind. It is better not to see it today.

When the two met, Axiu avoided Chu Ran without a trace. Chu Ran didn't want to go there at first, but seeing Lu Shi bypassing her and walking directly, being so ignored, he felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Lu Shi was very different from her dream. She suddenly felt that retiring the engagement was the best thing. If she knew that she would get divorced, marriage would be meaningless.

She couldn't feel whether she had love for Lu Shi in her dream, but just because Lu Shi imprisoned and insulted her these few days, she couldn't fall in love with this woman.

Lu Shi wanted to leave, but she definitely wouldn't let her go. She walked over in three steps and stopped in front of her: "Why is Lu Xiang avoiding me?"

She looked directly at Lu Shi, and found that her expression was as indifferent as water, and her eyes were also dull, she frowned slightly, and Axiu stood in front of her: "Princess Xinping, the prime minister is tired, please let her go back to rest earlier. "

When Axiu blocked, Xinping felt more disappointed, and said, "Alright, I'll push Lu Xiang back to rest."

After that, she avoided Axiu and pushed the wheelchair. With a sudden effort from her, Lu Shi jumped forward and grabbed the armrest with his hand, feeling Chu Ran's malicious intentions.

The 15-year-old girl couldn't bear it any longer. Lu Shi swayed her upper body twice to stabilize her figure.Axiu was annoyed, "Princess, don't bully Lu Xiangyan, don't bully Lu Xiang's legs and feet."

There was a bright smile in Chu Ran's eyes, and the corners of his lips were bent: "She is older than me, how can you bully her, you step back, I have something to say to Lu Xiang."

Axiu didn't move, Lu Shi had been avoiding Princess Xinping since she was blind, Axiu could almost feel the prime minister's helplessness, she definitely wouldn't leave at this time.

When she didn't move, Chu Ran became more and more annoyed, "The prime minister's people are so rude."

"Axiu, back down now." Lu Shi finally had no choice but to call out Axiu and wanted to know what Chu Ran wanted to do.

Axiu was in a dilemma, and couldn't bear to disobey Lu Shi, so she stepped back and said to Chu Ran: "Princess, please slow down, don't scare Prime Minister Lu."

Chu Ran despises, such a big person will be frightened?She waved her hand impatiently to signal Axiu to leave: "I see."

As soon as Axiu stepped back, Lu Shi unconsciously pinched his cuff, feeling a little uneasy.Her uneasiness comes from her fear of the dark and Chu Ran's unknown intentions.

The scenery in spring is very good, the village is a little more green than the outside, and the vines climb up the wall, full of greenery.

Chu Ran pushed Lu Shi and walked for a while before stopping. She walked up to Lu Shi and stared at her indifferent expression: "Lu Xiang, how can you divorce?"

"Why should I retire? If I really become a useless person, if I don't drag His Highness, I will be alone for the rest of my life. Wouldn't it be a waste of ten years?" Lu Shi smiled lightly, looked in Chu Ran's direction, blinked, and remained silent. Godless.

Just now, Chu Ran still thought she was beautiful, and her side face was intoxicating. He heard this sentence before he retracted his blurred vision, and cursed in his heart: femme fatale.

She said: "If the Prime Minister is really abolished, His Majesty will take the initiative to withdraw the engagement."

Lu Shi disagreed, and his indifferent expression was stained with a slight sarcastic smile: "That may not be the case. Choosing a useless person to be the princess' partner is more reassuring to His Majesty than others. It is just in line with his wishes for the prince to lose such a backer."

What the emperor was afraid of was the prince's backer. He already had Marquis Changping, and if another important minister came, the emperor would be in a hurry to cut off Marquis Changping's military power.

"What Lu Xiang meant, if you are abolished, it will be a good thing for me? But if you are abolished, will you keep your position? I will not marry someone who has no power." Chu Ran said.She said openly that she wanted to use Lu Shi, and she was waiting for Lu Shi's response.

Lu Shi smiled lightly, Chu Ran was more free and easy than in the previous life, and also smarter. In the previous life, he kept a distance from her, even if he was dissatisfied with her in his heart, he would never say it out.Now he would say it directly, to test her mind.

"I also want to retire the engagement, but His Majesty will not agree. If you let His Majesty agree, I will follow His Majesty's wishes."

Lu Yi let go so quickly that Chu Ran couldn't believe it, and stared at her: "President Lu seriously?"

"Of course it is true. The minister has been abolished. Your majesty cherishes his reputation. If you let your highness withdraw the engagement, you will be criticized by the world. Between fame and your highness's happiness, which one do you think your majesty will choose?" Lu Shi's expression softened, as if telling a joke , Hold your breath and listen to the movement in Chu Ran's room.

Chu Ran clenched her fist and said sarcastically, "I seem to know why Lu Xiang is pestering me."

"Oh? What is it?" Lu Shi showed a curious look.

Chu Ran said: "It's because Prime Minister Lu likes to humiliate others, who would like people with such special hobbies." If Lu Shi's legs and feet could not recover, the emperor felt sorry, but he was more fortunate that the crown prince lost the assistance of the prime minister, How could they agree to divorce.

Comparing her with the emperor's reputation, the emperor must have chosen his own reputation to humiliate her nakedly.

Lu Shi smiled, with a deep smile, different from her usual coldness, "Princess Xinping is probably the only one around."

Chu Ran gouged her out angrily, turned around and left, her feet creaked on the dry branches, just in time to remind Lu Shi of her departure.Lu Shi smiled and said: "Your Highness said that he would send the minister back, why did he change his mind again?"

After speaking, no one came back to her, Axiu, who followed from a distance, saw Chu Ran who was angry, and immediately understood.

Lu Xiang took Princess Xinping away again in anger, and Lu Xiang will regret it if things go on like this.

****

King Heng arrived almost at the same time as the prince, and Xiao Ming and the others were almost weeping with joy, hugging the prince around a few times without any rules.The prince ran around for a few days, his face became paler, he coughed a few times, and patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder: "You have worked hard these few days."

The prince's complexion became even worse, he hurriedly helped him in, and told him about the current situation.

After saying a few words about Lu Xiang, the crown prince nodded and said: "There is no need to spread these things outside, just treat them as orders from the solitary, and don't reveal where Lu Xiang is recuperating."

Xiao Ming said yes.

After the prince came back, King Heng almost ran away for nothing. He was subservient to the prince and could not intervene anywhere. He stayed depressed for a few days, and then turned to watch the river yamen to investigate the breach of the embankment.

After the disaster relief matter was settled, the prince got rid of the tail following him and took Xiao Ming to visit Lu Shi.

Unexpectedly, when he got to the door, he was rejected, and the doorman said: "Lu Xiang is not in good health, and has no time to see distinguished guests."

The prince was a little disappointed, his slender body was a bit miserable outside the door, everyone thought he was getting worse after falling into the water, Xiao Ming comforted him: "Prince Lu travels in a wheelchair, I'm afraid he doesn't want to see people."

Quiet outside the door, more like a hermit.

The prince did not leave, but instead said to his disciples: "Then I may meet Princess Xinping, she came here to visit Prime Minister Lu a few days ago, and has not returned to Yingdu."

The doorman still refused: "The princess is not here, and she has never been here."

The crown prince was full of doubts. Lu Xiang also mentioned in his heart that his elder sister was recuperating here, so why did he say that he didn't come today.But a few days ago, he received a letter from Aunt Sister, saying that she was safe. Presumably Lu Xiang didn't want to reveal Aunt Sister's whereabouts, so he smiled and said, "That's bothering you."

The group didn't bother too much, they stood outside the door for a while and then left.

Lu Shi was drinking tea under the eaves of the porch, listening to the chirping birds on the branches quietly, and felt that Chu Ran's behavior was a bit like these birds, and his words were more like bird chirping. The 15-year-old Chu Ran was cuter, free and unrestrained.

There was a sound of messy footsteps beside her ears, she was a little surprised, and then heard Axiu's surprised voice: "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Immediately, there was a gust of wind in her ears, the teacup in her hand was caressed, and there was a pain in her wrist. Someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.

"Lu Shi, what exactly do you want to let me go, the prince came here but you said I was not here, it really is impossible to imprison me."

Chu Ran has been driven to the point of madness, and her usual words and insults are nothing more than insults, but this time it involves her painful feet, she can't bear it anymore.

Lu Shi was blind, and being pulled up by her so abruptly, he jumped forward, almost touching Chu Ran's body, with a faint scent of herbs lingering from the tip of his nose.This kind of aroma was deliberately smoked by her in Chu Ran's room. When Chu Ran met her, she would not make a sound, and sometimes peeped at her, so she used this trick.

Her eyelashes trembled uneasily, and she tried her best to pull back her hand, her pale face added a bit of pink, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, let go."

Axiu stomped her feet anxiously, and Chu Ran suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve, and said with a sneer, "Lu Xiang, is it scary? You forced me to the cliff, and I dragged you to jump together."

Lu Shi couldn't see her dagger, and when he heard this remark, he laughed it off: "If you and I die together, what will your brother do?"

Chu Ran was stimulated to the point of pain by her, and was so angry that she put the dagger on her slender jade neck, gritted her teeth and threatened: "It's useless for my brother to keep you."

Lu Shi frowned slightly, and when she turned her head, the corners of her lips brushed against the delicate and soft skin, she didn't know where she touched Chun Churan, and suddenly retreated.

Chu Ran was also taken aback, Lu Shi still belittled her at this time?

The author has something to say: Chu Ran: You did it on purpose.

Lu Xiang: I'm blind, I can't see anything.
