The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]
Chapter 63
Chu Ran was a little guilty, and unconsciously let go of the hand holding the embroidery, and turned to hold Lu Shi's hand. She had never done anything disobedient, and knew that the old lady was angry with her.
Her hot hand touched Lu Shi, "Lu Xiang, do you want to go and have a look?"
"There's no need to go and see. You and I are not doctors. This year's annual ceremony is over, and I have to go back to the office." Lu Shi was the opposite of her attitude. He smiled lightly with an indifferent expression, and squeezed her palm, "It's no big deal Don't worry about it, it's her own consequences."
The old lady is different from His Majesty, she has lived in the back house for a long time, like a frog in a well, she can't see the long-term benefits, when others praise her, she is happy in her heart, she doesn't care about family affection, she only cares about money.
A few years ago, when Lu Shi personally prepared the annual ceremony, he followed the annual rules. This year, she saw the annual ceremony in the Changping Hou Mansion, and she had a comparison in her heart. She felt that Lu Xiang's neglect of her was not as good as a foreigner .
Chu Ran was not cruel, but cared about Lu Shi's face. The old lady turned her away, and others would point and point behind Lu Xiang. Without knowing the inside story, they might really think that she was not filial to the old lady.
The move outside the Lu family's gate was just to let the world understand that Prime Minister Lu was not unfilial, but the old lady fainted from anger.
"Is it really not necessary?" Chu Ran thought about Lu Xiang's thoughts, and said again: "Why don't I go and have a look?"
"You don't need to go, just ask the imperial physician in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Lu Shi said, seeing that Chu Ran was in a state of mind, she knew that she had been picked up by the old lady, and sighed: "How do you know that she is really sick or fake? Second, don't you know the usual methods used in the palace?"
In order to compete for favor in the palace, shady methods are frequently used. Chu Ran has seen it a long time ago, and he is not arguing with Lu Shi now, "Then I won't go, let Axiu take some ginseng to have a look."
"Yes." Lu Shi responded, and then led the people back to the office.
Whether the old lady is really sick or not, Chu Ran didn't ask again, remembering the prince's entrustment before leaving, and went to the East Palace to meet Ah Nan before the end of the year.
When she entered the Eastern Palace, she saw the Crown Princess first. She looked haggard, but after seeing Chu Ran, her ashen eyes shone brightly. After entering the palace for half a year, she might as well live comfortably at home.
Chu Ran didn't know what to say for a while, she knew that the concubine's family was not well-off, and this year's gift to her mother's family was also relatively heavy, so she brought her some jewelry and said: "The fief sent some good things over, just I brought you some, the prince is not in the palace, you need to cheer up."
"Sister has a heart." The Crown Princess smiled lightly, and she couldn't help being envious after seeing her skin radiant than snow, and the ivory locket was also exquisite, she couldn't help showing admiration, "This little thing is really exquisite."
"If you have any difficulties, you can ask someone to come out of the palace and tell me that there is a virtuous concubine in the palace, so you can go to ask for help." Chu Ran said in relief. She almost saw the situation of A Niang in the princess, but she was not as good A Niang, at least A Niang has her and the prince.
To this day, she still doesn't know what the prince's plan is, and it makes people gnash their teeth when they do such a bastard thing.
The Crown Princess was born dignified, and after being taught by her father to know the etiquette, it is an honor to enter the heavenly family.The crown prince didn't like her, but he was really kind to her father and brother, and he had nothing to complain about after several promotions.
She said: "Sister, don't worry, I will protect Ah Nan, the prince's flesh and blood are also my children."
Chu Ran smiled unconsciously, the princess is really polite, and she will be a virtuous housemate after she figured it out, she boasted: "The princess is virtuous, the bastard prince will understand your goodness, it is late, I will go out of the palace first .”
"Sister, aren't you going to see Ah Nan?" The Crown Princess got up to see her off.
Chu Ran said: "No need, just pay more attention and be more careful about diet."
The Crown Princess is the main concubine, she doesn't need to see the lowly concubine's room, if others know about it, it will put Ah Nan on the edge of the storm, so it's better to pretend not to care.And the palace servant asked Concubine Ming to take care of her more, and most likely nothing would happen.
Nowadays, it is not as convenient as before for her to be closely watched by His Majesty, and she will disappear as soon as she can.
The Crown Princess sent her out of the East Palace in person, but before leaving the palace, the servants came over, saying that His Majesty summoned her.
Chu Ran took it for granted, followed the servants into Zhanghuatai graciously, and only got a cup of tea every time she entered the palace. After a few gossips, His Majesty let her out of the palace, it was no big deal.
Today was the same, she took a cup of tea and looked at it quietly, and said strangely: "Don't you feel bored drinking this tea every day?" No taste.
"Taste the tea carefully. What's the fun in drinking like this? At the end of the year, I will reward you with some good things. The tribute blood jade corals will be brought back to the house for fun. I heard that the old lady of the Lu family is sick?"
The blood jade coral is a treasure. Chu Ran wrote it down after seeing the same thing. She was also happy when she heard the unreasonable reward, and she didn't take the second half of the sentence to heart. It’s a big deal, just rest and rest, thank you daddy for rewarding me.”
Emperor Chu didn't want to talk to her anymore, seeing that the teacup in front of her was empty, he waved his hand at her: "Go out of the palace, I still have political affairs to deal with."
Chu Ran responded and exited Zhang Huatai.
After getting the blood jade coral, she was a little happy to see it, and it looked very beautiful in the house, the half-person tall coral was dazzling in the house.She suddenly remembered the tea she drank in the palace, every time His Majesty would look at her cup of tea, and if she finished drinking, he would send her out of the palace.
For some reason, she panicked and asked someone to move the coral into the warehouse, and invited the doctor from the mansion to come over.
Axiu didn't know what happened, she was always panicked after she invited the doctor, His Highness looked at the alive and kicking, asked the doctor what to do.
After the doctor was invited inside, he dared not raise his head, felt for Princess Xinping's pulse, he could hear a needle drop in the room, he withdrew his hand after a while, and said: "Your Highness's pulse condition is stable, there is no internal disease, but what is uncomfortable?"
"No, you can come here every three days from now on." Chu Ran was still worried, maybe the things in the dream made her feel lingering, and she was always uneasy.
After it got dark, Lu Xiang went back to his residence.
Axiu habitually reported to her what happened in the mansion, when she heard about inviting a doctor, her eyelashes twitched, and said: "Understood."
When she stepped into the room, she saw a person leaning lazily on the couch. The room was warm, and she felt much more comfortable after entering. She took off the fox fur and walked to the couch, "Are you uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm just worried, maybe it's a fuss." Chu Ran was not very energetic. When he saw Lu Shi coming back, he raised his head to look at her, stretched out his hand towards her, and pursed the corners of his lips.
She seemed to have been greatly wronged by her appearance. When Lu Shi saw her wronged expression for the first time, he was taken aback for a moment, then reached out to hug her and touched her back: "Is it because your majesty called you into the palace today to drink tea?" thing?"
Chu Ran leaned in her arms, warming her body against the cold body, she couldn't help shivering, and instead of pushing her away, she held him tighter. She didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she stammered: "I just think It's a little strange, just calling me to taste tea can make people not see what's on my mind, and it's the same tea every time, it's just scary."
The person in his arms rubbed against each other like a kitten, and Lu Shi's cold heart began to heat up, "Let the doctor check his pulse frequently, and His Majesty's invitation will not go if you can."
"He is not an ordinary father, but His Majesty, why not go, maybe I am thinking too much." Chu Ran muttered, and the panic in his heart was calmed down by Lu Shi's return.
Lu Shi's eyes were cold. It's not uncommon for Emperor Chu to control the crown prince and King Heng with poison. In the past life, King Heng was angry and killed the king and father. Could it be that he used vicious methods on His Highness in this life?
After pondering for a long time, he said: "It's better to invite a few more doctors to come and have a look. Don't go out of the mansion tomorrow, just say that you have caught a cold." It can also be used to test His Majesty's attitude.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chu Ran withdrew from her arms and relaxed her mind.
At the time of the sacrifice at the end of the year, the prince was not in Hengwang to act on his behalf, and the queen claimed that he was not sick.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, most mansions would hold banquets for guests, and the Prime Minister's Mansion received a lot of posts. Neither of them had ever left the mansion, so they were tired of embroidering sachets together.
Chu Ran didn't know the skills, and her fingers were pricked. Lu Shi had no choice but to teach her. The free time would always pass quickly. Feng Tang came to pay a visit in the afternoon, and Lu Shi led him to the study.
"Lu Xiang, the person who investigated the warships of Qinghe came back. Compared with Qinghe's warships, they are indeed different. These are the blueprints of the two parties." Feng Tang handed the blueprints to Lu Xiang.
The courtiers who followed King Heng to Wujiang last year were more careful and left blueprints, and then asked people to spend a lot of money to buy the blueprints of ordinary warships in Wujiang, so that the craftsmen could compare them, so it was naturally clear at a glance.
Lu Shi said, "Hasn't Lu Huaisi compared them before?"
"Where he can be the master, Hengwang takes care of everything. He has gained a good reputation without any effort, so how can he talk too much." Feng Tang explained.
"That day, Lu Huaisi at the gate of the city might have seen his reputation. His Majesty tested His Highness in every possible way, and summoned him to the palace several times, and treated him with tea."
"Entering the palace just to taste tea?" Feng Tang was surprised. His Majesty was busy with political affairs and had not summoned him once in the past six months. Why did he suddenly summon him frequently? She suggested: "But there is something wrong with the tea?"
"The pulse condition can't be diagnosed, so I don't know at the moment." Lu Shi was preoccupied, and put several blueprints into the cabinet, "Your Majesty's mind is as vicious as a tiger, and he doesn't know what he's thinking for a while."
A companion is like a tiger, and he understands the truth, but he can't see the direction clearly when he is in it. Lu Shi has invited many doctors in the past few days, and every time he replies, he is in good health. After a long time, it makes people more disturbed.
Feng Tang didn't know how to explain it. He had followed Lu Xiang for many years, and he already knew her heart for Princess Xinping, and the two had a deep relationship.She tentatively said: "Why don't you try Master Lu? Li Chu was extremely dissatisfied with him, and endured it again and again. Ever since he knew that Lu Huaisi's mind was wrong, he felt very regretful."
Lu Huaisi's status was embarrassing. If Lu Xiang took action, he might feel ashamed of Mrs. Lu. Li Chu is also Lu Xiang's confidant.
Therefore, Li Chu never dared to do anything, and Feng Tang was also dissatisfied. She always felt that Lu Xiang was in a dilemma, and she said: "Why don't you transfer people out of Yingdu City?"
"I'm already trying, but His Majesty won't agree to transfer him if he enters the Ministry of Officials." Lu Shi said, she had lingering fears, Lu Huaisi's death is not a pity, but it is difficult to mobilize for a while, His Majesty is suspicious, and she might provoke her thoughts On the body, the gain outweighs the loss.
Feng Tang lamented unceasingly. When he was about to leave the mansion, he met Princess Xinping. She had picturesque eyebrows, and she was very pretty in a red dress. After she saw the ceremony, the princess asked to stay: "Master Feng, why don't you stay for dinner."
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave the house first."
Chu Ran only thought she was being polite, but Lu Shi pinched her palms when she tried to persuade her again, and she pursed her lips and stopped talking. How could Lu Xiang be so stingy, and she was pinched for keeping someone for dinner.
After Feng Tang left, Chu Ran pinched her wrist aggressively: "What are you pinching me for?"
"Master Feng has something to do, His Highness, don't delay him."
"There is no rush to do things."
"Urgent, she is very anxious." Lu Shi smiled lightly, and led the angry man back to the study.
The study room was warm and warm, and the light dimmed a lot after the door was closed, Chu Ran hated her for pinching herself, pressed the person against the door panel after the room was closed, and stared at her: "What unspeakable things did you do? "
"It has nothing to do with me." Lu Shi was held still by her, staring at the luster in her eyes.
Chu Ran didn't believe it, and learned to buckle her waist backwards, forcing her to look directly at herself: "The word Lu Shi is the one I don't believe the most. It has nothing to do with you, who has something to do with it?"
Lu Shi smiled lightly, "She went to look for Liancheng, I didn't tell her, she wanted to go."
"What is she going to do with Liancheng?" Chu Ran didn't understand it for a while, and when she opened her eyelids, she saw a smile in her eyes, and suddenly felt cheated by her again, "Liar, I will punish you for not eating tonight. Don’t eat, you don’t have anything to eat.”
Lu Shi didn't talk to her about going around, after all, the two people's thoughts were not obvious yet, how could Liancheng, a simple and honest boy, understand Feng Tang's intentions.
She didn't talk about things she was not sure about, but Chu Ran was still dissatisfied. She moved towards her, nose to nose, and threatened her: "My chains haven't been finished yet, so you'll be crazy for a few days."
"It's okay, as long as His Highness is happy." Lu Shi was unmoved, Chu Ran loved to say these threatening words, but she never saw her take any action whatsoever, and what she said verbally should not be taken seriously.
Chu Ran snorted coldly, and unconsciously breathed hot breath on the tip of his nose. After Lu Shi's heart trembled slightly, he gently closed his eyes, waiting for Chu Ran's next move.
"I don't want to kiss you if you want to." Chu Ran let go, opened the door of the study generously, and left leisurely.
Lu Shi: "..."
Chu Ran ran away after teasing someone, and ran happily.Feng Tang went to look for Liancheng, and after the two met on a moonlit night, they strolled among the neighborhoods, and Liancheng bought her many gadgets, including countless hairpins and rouge.
Feng Tang was never cautious, and accepted everything. The two of them came here on horseback. After drinking in the restaurant, they were going back to the house. When they were riding horses, they met Lu Huaisi at the entrance of the alley, and the Lu family's carriage blocked the road. Common people can only avoid it.
The two stood at the entrance of the alley and couldn't get in and out. The servants of Lu's mansion cursed and cursed, and the common people stayed away.
Liancheng wanted to send her back to the mansion, and it would be unsafe for a woman to be out in the middle of the night, Feng Tang reined in the reins, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Mr. Lu dragged the princess mansion's annual ceremony, so angry that Brother Li is still in a bad mood today. flat."
"I'm afraid Mr. Lu dare not forget the incident of being beaten in Qinghe, and now he goes out with his servants." Hatred flashed in Liancheng's eyes, looking at the scene around him, he came up with a plan, and said, "Feng My lord, I will send someone to take you back first."
"No, you can't miss a good show." Feng Tang smiled deeply, turned his horse's head, and rode towards the noisy place. Liancheng rode his horse behind to catch up, and the two left one after the other.
After burning incense, the carriage is still blocking the entrance of the alley, the coachman is sleeping in the carriage, and the servant hurriedly wakes you up: "Your Excellency is here."
The coachman jumped down after waking up, and got into the carriage facing the adults. Before he could shake the whip, something hit him in the dark, hit his forehead, and the carriage fell down in a blink of an eye.
The boy panicked and hurriedly guarded the carriage: "There are assassins, there are assassins."
After shouting several times, the pedestrians all ran out of the alley, and several men in black came rushing in with sticks.
One person stepped forward and kicked the horse's ass directly. The cold wind raged and the starlight was faint.
The carriage rushed up the street, and the sporadic pedestrians ran away in fright. Feng Tang sat on the horse, staring at these things coldly.
There was another scream in the city of Yingdu, and the tall horse fell to the ground, the carriage fell down, and a cry came from inside the carriage.
Liancheng hurried forward to check, the horse's breath was much weaker, and he no longer had the strength to run, so he tried to call outside: "Is there anyone in the car?"
"Yes, yes..." Lu Huaisi's voice trembled, showing a lack of momentum.
Liancheng lifted the curtain of the car, stepped on something to get in, and immediately heard another call, he hurriedly withdrew, "I'm sorry, who are you?"
"Officer Lu Huaisi." The voice was weak, probably because of a hard fall.
"It turned out to be Master Lu, the lower official Liancheng, do you want to help you out?" Liancheng held back a smile, and dragged him out ruthlessly. The boy behind came to him, and his shouts overshadowed Lu Huaisi's cries of pain.
The servant hurriedly sent him back to the mansion, Liancheng said goodbye and sent Feng Tang back to the mansion with a smile.
Chu Ran in the Prime Minister's Mansion was forced to the cliff before she could figure out how to make the iron chains. She hugged the quilt and looked at Lu Shi who had returned from the bath, and kicked her legs: "Why do you like bells, why don't you like them yourself?" Tie one up and listen to whatever you want."
She didn't understand the fun, and she thought about iron chains more deeply. Seeing Lu Ji's gentle face, she stretched out her feet reluctantly, and said, "You tie one yourself."
Chu Ran was nagging, and Lu Yi was extremely silent. Unlike Chu Ran, she would only coax people when she was gentle, and it was not yet time.
Lu Shi had a seven-day holiday, so he naturally wanted to spend some time with Chu Ran, and he would not leave the mansion at will, and stay in the mansion to deal with business and spare time at night.
She was usually indifferent, Chu Ran sat upright holding the quilt, and said sarcastically: "Lu Xiang, don't want to look like this, as if I am bullying you."
Lu Shi remained silent, and stretched out his arms to hug Chu Ran to lie down. After the two approached, Chu Ran moved his legs inadvertently. When the bell rang, he muttered, "I hate it."
When she looked up, she saw Lu Shi's serious expression, and she wanted to say a few more words of sarcasm, but Lu Shi forced her to block all her sarcastic words, and the words were swallowed, and she moved her feet angrily.
A voice like a magic voice sounded, and she had no choice but to hold back her temper, put her hands on Lu Shi's back, and the corner of her mouth curved slightly, and she easily untied her restraint. happy.
She moved impatiently, but suppressed her temper.
Lu Shi likes to see how restrained and forbearing she is. She is obviously impatient, but she is trying her best to endure it. When her fingertips brush her skin, there is obviously a burst of water.
Chu Ran pursed her lips, her skin was pink, beautiful and attractive.
Lu Shi was attracted without moving, and it was difficult to read through a long night of simple ear-to-eye contact. She touched the little thing on her ankle, and gently dialed it. Chu Ran was annoyed, and the corners of her lips were bitten bright red, redder than rouge How much, "You, you..."
She couldn't speak, Lu Shi gently dialed again, and the redness in Chu Ran's eyes deepened, "Lu Xiang is very annoying."
Chu Ran is used to duplicity, saying that she hates it, but she doesn't see any rejection. Lu Shi smiled lightly, adding a touch of flair to her cold brows and eyes. Chu Ran suddenly wanted to hear her voice, which was so cold and begging for mercy.
Before I could think about it in my mind, there was a knock on the door outside the house: "Mr. Lu, when the Lu family sent the message, Mr. Lu was injured and was in critical condition."
This was probably the worst sound, Lu Shi ignored it, and instead covered Chu Ran's ears: "Don't worry about it."
After the maid yelled once, Axiu covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down, Prime Minister Lu is resting, why are you so ignorant."
The servant girl was wronged: "I don't want to, the messenger said it was very anxious."
Axiu lowered her voice: "Report to the Marquis Mansion, don't disturb Lu Xiang and His Highness."
Chu Ran in the room heard the lowered voices of the two, and was too frightened to move. She was tense, but fortunately her feet hadn't moved yet. She raised her head and looked at Lu Shi. Her eyes were as vast as distant mountains and as clear as autumn water. My heart softened beyond words.
However, at the next moment, Chu Ran regretted looking at Lu Xiang tenderly. In Lu Xiang's eyes, that look was extremely attractive.
****
After a night of wind and rain, neither of them got up early, the wind outside was stronger, listening to the howling cold wind, the whole body felt cold.
Lu Shi hadn't fallen asleep yet, and Chu Ran was half awake. She took Lu Shi's hand by feeling and whispered in her ear, but she couldn't hear what she said.The two lay on each other, and Lu Shi got up to take a shower. When he opened the door, Axiu hadn't gone to sleep. Seeing her coming out, he subconsciously asked, "Lu Xiang is worried about the Lu family?"
"Bath." Lu Shi's voice sounded colder than the wind, Axiu understood, and asked someone to prepare hot water, followed Lu Xiang and said: "Master Lu met an assassin, the carriage was startled, someone passed by and cut off the horse's hooves, Master Lu fell hard and is still falling asleep."
The cold winter night was bitingly cold, Lu Shi seemed not afraid of the cold, and took a bath in the cold night.
After washing her sticky body, she changed into a clean robe and returned to her bedroom. Chu Ran half-opened her eyes when she heard the voice, and seeing that she was refreshed, she said, "I'm going to take a bath too."
Lu Shi didn't stop her, and asked someone to prepare hot water, and then waited quietly for her in the house, thinking about Lu Huaisi in his spare time, he thought he was going to a banquet tonight, why did he encounter an assassin again, and who was involved in it .
Lu Huaisi has a pedantic temperament, is not good at communication, or is in the way of other ways.
She couldn't think clearly, Chu Ran had already returned from the bath, her whole body was warm, she was sleepy and tired, she fell asleep lying on the outside.Turning over, she got into Lu Shi's arms, closed her eyes comfortably, and didn't speak.
Lu Shi was hiding something in his heart, so he couldn't sleep naturally, but the person beside him was sleeping well. She poked Chu Ran's cheek thinking that there would be nothing to do tomorrow: "Ah Ran, talk to me."
Chu Ran's face was flushed, and her sleepy color was even more cute. When Lu Shi touched her skin, it was even warmer and softer.
"Okay." Chu Ran dealt with her in his mouth, dizzy in his head, she touched Lu Shi's face without opening her eyes, leaned over and kissed, "Sleep, sleep."
I don't know where the kiss was, but she met Lu Xiang anyway, and she slipped into his arms contentedly.
Her body was emitting heat. From Lu Shi's point of view, the skin under her neck was pink, and she was even more seductive after bathing in hot water. She was helplessly confused, and after sighing, she stopped talking.
A heavy sigh sounded in his ears, Chu Ran was still in deep sleep, and responded to Lu Xiang: "What are you sighing for?"
"It's nothing, go to sleep." Lu Shi didn't want to disturb her, so he patted her on the back to comfort her. After Chu Ran hummed a few times, he stuck closer to her.
Unreasonably provocative, with the scent of the tip of the nose, Lu Shi was slightly uncomfortable, and she was not sleepy, so she was even more upset. She took Chu Ran's hand from her waist, and she wanted to get up and go to the study.
As soon as the person moved, Chu Ran woke up. When she saw her get up, she looked outside at the sky. It was dark and no one could be seen. "Where are you going?"
"Study, sleep well if you're sleepy." Lu Shi turned around and felt bad for waking her up. He stretched out his hand to help her lie down, but when he reached into the air, Chu Ran sat up in a daze, "I'll accompany you .”
Lu Shi was helpless, afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave, so she had to lie down and embrace the person: "No, let's sleep well."
Chu Ranfu lay in her arms again and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, no one came to look for her, and the weather was gloomy. Lu Shi slept very late, and before she woke up, Chu Ran woke up first. After thinking about what happened last night, she leaned on Lu Shi and poked her shoulder: "Lu Xiang, Prime Minister Lu, you can go to the Lu Mansion today."
At this time, Lu Shi was sleepy, but Chu Ran woke up, and she said: "No, His Highness can get up first when he wakes up."
Chu Ran didn't want to, and still leaned on her, kissed her eyebrows, and sometimes kissed the corners of her lips, which made Lu Shi feel sleepy, so she patted Chu Ran's back: "Do you want to do it?" very?"
"I want to go to Lu's residence." Chu Ran smiled, afraid that she would not want to, and kissed her obediently: "I am curious about the injury of Second Master Lu."
Lu Shi woke up completely, took Chu Ran's hand, thought carefully and said, "I'll go in the afternoon."
"Why in the afternoon?" Chu Ran was puzzled, she never thought about Lu Shi's hand reaching in, she was startled suddenly, and said, "You can't afford it?"
"Your Highness does teasing things early in the morning. Could it be that it's just to get up?" Lu Shi didn't want to go to the Lu Mansion too early, and it was just right in the afternoon, so he wouldn't appear too eager.She was awakened by someone, and looked at the culprit helplessly.
Chu Ran never thought about the consequences. Seeing Lu Shi move, she frowned and kissed the corner of her lips, biting carefully, and said in a low voice, "I'm on top."
Lu Shi smiled lightly and just stared at her quietly. Chu Ran felt his heart warm from seeing her, and slowly kissed her brows and eyes. Her eyelashes trembled nervously. She gently released the restraint, marveling at Lu Xiang's skin.
She wanted to kiss her, but the annoying maid knocked on the door again, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Lu, the Marquis has passed the residence."
Surprised by the voice, Chu Ran fell on Lu Shi's body, and when her skin touched, a gust of wind and rain started up. She sighed, "I'm letting you go."
Lu Shi still smiled lightly. After getting up, Chu Ran lay on the couch and tugged at her cuffs: "Lu Xiang, what kind of fragrance do you like? Do you want floral fragrance or herbal fragrance?"
I made the sachet a few days ago, and I was busy checking at the end of the year. I haven't thought about which spices to use. Lu Shi has his own fragrance, and Chu Ran likes the cold fragrance. He doesn't want to be covered by other fragrances, so he hesitates Indecision.
Lu Shi said: "The herbs are fragrant."
"Okay, I'll ask the doctor when he comes to check the pulse." Chu Ran turned over again on his stomach, showing traces of yesterday's happiness at the neckline.After Lu Shi glanced at it, his expression remained the same, and he left indifferently.
****
The Marquis of Runan is not a generation of Ji Ji Ying Ying, who can't dance his mind wildly. In recent years, after he settled his feud with Lu Shi, he has always stabilized his temperament. Therefore, he is unremarkable in the court, and he will almost be overwhelmed by Lu Huaisi.
He can hold his breath, he is conscientious in his job, and he will not casually associate with powerful people. He has become more and more similar to Lu Xiang in temperament. After what happened last night, his mother almost cried all night, panicking, and he had to come here early in the morning Ask to see the prime minister.
Lu Shi came over after washing up, first used a few pieces of pastries to cushion the bed, and asked about what happened last night.
Marquis Runan said: "The incident happened suddenly. It was originally an assassin's assassination, but in the end it became a shocking horse. The second master has hardly seen the assassin, and the servant also said that it was too dark to see clearly. There is no substantive evidence. And the shocking horse last night Afterwards, there was a commotion in the alley, and the assassin took the opportunity to escape, no one cared at all."
"The assassins came prepared, never harmed their lives, and left behind. It is impossible to find out like this. It is similar to the case of Qinghe. The second master is acting more and more ruthlessly now. There are not a few people who have offended people. And the Wujiang warship incident There is also something strange, brother and him need to draw a clear line as soon as possible."
"How can I make it clear that my mother lives in Lu's mansion, so is it possible that she doesn't even recognize her?" Marquis Runan was also distressed. Now that the situation is becoming more and more tense, King Heng and the prince are making comparisons secretly. He doesn't want to be contaminated by these things. However, Erfang flattered King Heng, what he said and did.
Lu Shi casually said: "Then ask mother to go back to the manor to take care of the son's marriage. If it's not good enough, there is always a way to invite him back to the mansion."
The prime minister is always cruel, and Hou Ye couldn't catch up with her. After hearing the words, he was surprised by her decisiveness, and said: "Then I will ask mother to return to the house after he recovers from his injuries."
"I'm afraid it will be too late then." Lu Shi said, the evidence in her hand made her unable to wait too long, the matter had to be resolved before the prince came back, Heng Wang's collusion with Wu Jiang was a certainty, and Lu Huaisi's following Heng Wang would eventually taste the consequences.
Lord Hou didn't know Lu Xiang's plans, and said, "When is the latest?"
"Early February."
It's enough to recover from injuries in January. Master Hou understood Lu Xiang's intentions, got up and said, "I understand, it's just that my mother is in a state of mind, and the matter of the annual ceremony has already made her flustered. Why don't you go and persuade Lu Xiang."
Lu Shi should not: "What's the use of my persuasion."
She is used to being stubborn, Master Hou is not good at persuading her, thinking of the relationship between mother and daughter in recent years, she also sighed, the bitter fruit that I have brewed should be borne by myself, no one else can replace it.
After Master Hou left, Chu Ran got up. The doctor sent several herbs, all of which were calm and calm, but the fragrance was different. She didn't know which one was better, so it was difficult to decide.
Xinyang happened to come over with a food box, which contained all kinds of flowers and candies, as well as a lot of dried fruits. She was a little struggling to carry it, so Axiu took it, "Why is Princess Xinyang free to come over today?"
"Bring some food to Sister." Xinyang ran into the house eagerly, seeing herbs on the table, curious: "Sister makes a sachet?" She has seen hollow incense balls with herbs or spices inside, hanging on the waist The room is really beautiful.
She sniffed them one by one, pointing to the one with the faintest fragrance, and said, "This is good, it won't cover up the fragrance on Lu Xiang's body."
"What fragrance does Lu Xiang have on him?" Chu Ran said dryly, and Xinyang was so frightened that he didn't dare to talk nonsense. He took a bite of the dried apricot and blocked his mouth.
What she said was wrong, but the reasoning was the same. After choosing for a long time, Chu Ran still chose the share that Xinyang said, and finally put it in a sachet, hung it on her waist to try it out, and then looked at the bronze mirror and asked Xinyang Yang: "How?"
"Very good, very good, but the embroidery is not very good-looking, can it be worn out?" Xinyang hurriedly leaned over and pointed at the pattern of the lotus, "Sister, if you miss one stitch in the embroidery here, the stitches will loosen."
Chu Ran's eyes were dim, and she slapped her dirty hands away: "Lu Xiang praised her beauty, so don't talk too much."
"Where it looks good, Lu Xiang just coaxed sister." Xinyang poked at her words without thinking, and regretted it after finishing speaking, Hanhan smiled, and said: "I'm just joking, it's pretty pretty."
"It's not easy to beat children in the first month." Chu Ran patted the dust on the sachet, and his eyes signaled Xinyang to get out of the prime minister's house quickly, and it was intentional to get angry with her when he came here early in the morning.
Xin Yang shrank his head, took half a step back, took away the snack box he brought, and said: "Sister, I will hold a banquet in the future, remember to come and play with Lu Xiang."
"No." Chu Ran said unhappily. She untied the sachet on her body and compared it with the pillow on the couch. It seemed that it was really not good. She hid the sachet under the pillow in annoyance, and embroidered it again when she had time.
Lu Shi was busy and didn't think about the sachet. In the afternoon, he and Chu Ran went to Lu Mansion to visit Lu Huaisi.Lu Xiang was calm, but Chu Ran was a little gloating. When he entered the mansion, he saw the old lady sighing.
After seeing the two of them coming, he didn't have any good words, and said sarcastically: "Lu Xiang condescended to come here, but it's hard work."
Chu Ran smiled slightly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, the hard work is that the old lady stayed up all night."
The old lady was so angry that she smashed the hot tea in her hand, "His Royal Highness satirized the Lu family when he first started. If he looked down on the Lu family at the beginning, why bother to downgrade the prime minister."
The topic changed too quickly, and Chu Ran said coldly: "The old lady smashed things in front of me, but there is a word of respect, and she didn't salute me when she entered the door. Whoever made a sarcasm first, Lu Erye provoked it by himself." Disaster, what's the use of satirizing Prime Minister Lu, if you have the ability, you don't have to knock on the door of the prime minister's mansion in the middle of the night, disturbing people's sleep for no reason."
She was so frightened last night that she hardly dared to breathe, and now thinking about it, she also feels angry.
Chu Ran is used to being kind to the old lady, and she never said anything disrespectful. After a long time, she made no distinction between superiority and inferiority. No matter how down-and-out she is, she is still a princess, so there is no need to listen to her ridicule.
Mrs. Lu did not say a word because of Lu Shi, and she was not to be outdone, "I never invited the princess over, but the princess came to the door in person, and if she came to visit, why didn't she come here empty-handed and thought she was justified?"
Chu Ran understood where the crux was. She came in a hurry, and the ceremony was behind her. She paused, and the old lady immediately grasped her weakness and said: "Your Highness is speechless. Is it the royal education to come to the door rudely?"
"Whether your Highness is upbringing or not is a matter for the Son of Heaven. The old lady talks too much. You invited me today, but now she is making sarcastic remarks. In the future, people from the Lu Mansion will not enter the Prime Minister's Mansion again, step on the steps of the Prime Minister, and break a pair of legs." .”
Lu Yi's words were cold, calm and indifferent, and he left while holding Chu Ran's hand, and there was another wail in the room.
Her rare decisiveness surprised Chu Ran, "Lu Xiang, do you have a plan?"
"In the eyes of His Highness, the minister is the one who plans everything?"
Chu Ran is silent, isn't it?The big and small things are all planned first, and she is tricked around, especially when it comes to love. The planning is successful every time.
Her hot hand touched Lu Shi, "Lu Xiang, do you want to go and have a look?"
"There's no need to go and see. You and I are not doctors. This year's annual ceremony is over, and I have to go back to the office." Lu Shi was the opposite of her attitude. He smiled lightly with an indifferent expression, and squeezed her palm, "It's no big deal Don't worry about it, it's her own consequences."
The old lady is different from His Majesty, she has lived in the back house for a long time, like a frog in a well, she can't see the long-term benefits, when others praise her, she is happy in her heart, she doesn't care about family affection, she only cares about money.
A few years ago, when Lu Shi personally prepared the annual ceremony, he followed the annual rules. This year, she saw the annual ceremony in the Changping Hou Mansion, and she had a comparison in her heart. She felt that Lu Xiang's neglect of her was not as good as a foreigner .
Chu Ran was not cruel, but cared about Lu Shi's face. The old lady turned her away, and others would point and point behind Lu Xiang. Without knowing the inside story, they might really think that she was not filial to the old lady.
The move outside the Lu family's gate was just to let the world understand that Prime Minister Lu was not unfilial, but the old lady fainted from anger.
"Is it really not necessary?" Chu Ran thought about Lu Xiang's thoughts, and said again: "Why don't I go and have a look?"
"You don't need to go, just ask the imperial physician in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Lu Shi said, seeing that Chu Ran was in a state of mind, she knew that she had been picked up by the old lady, and sighed: "How do you know that she is really sick or fake? Second, don't you know the usual methods used in the palace?"
In order to compete for favor in the palace, shady methods are frequently used. Chu Ran has seen it a long time ago, and he is not arguing with Lu Shi now, "Then I won't go, let Axiu take some ginseng to have a look."
"Yes." Lu Shi responded, and then led the people back to the office.
Whether the old lady is really sick or not, Chu Ran didn't ask again, remembering the prince's entrustment before leaving, and went to the East Palace to meet Ah Nan before the end of the year.
When she entered the Eastern Palace, she saw the Crown Princess first. She looked haggard, but after seeing Chu Ran, her ashen eyes shone brightly. After entering the palace for half a year, she might as well live comfortably at home.
Chu Ran didn't know what to say for a while, she knew that the concubine's family was not well-off, and this year's gift to her mother's family was also relatively heavy, so she brought her some jewelry and said: "The fief sent some good things over, just I brought you some, the prince is not in the palace, you need to cheer up."
"Sister has a heart." The Crown Princess smiled lightly, and she couldn't help being envious after seeing her skin radiant than snow, and the ivory locket was also exquisite, she couldn't help showing admiration, "This little thing is really exquisite."
"If you have any difficulties, you can ask someone to come out of the palace and tell me that there is a virtuous concubine in the palace, so you can go to ask for help." Chu Ran said in relief. She almost saw the situation of A Niang in the princess, but she was not as good A Niang, at least A Niang has her and the prince.
To this day, she still doesn't know what the prince's plan is, and it makes people gnash their teeth when they do such a bastard thing.
The Crown Princess was born dignified, and after being taught by her father to know the etiquette, it is an honor to enter the heavenly family.The crown prince didn't like her, but he was really kind to her father and brother, and he had nothing to complain about after several promotions.
She said: "Sister, don't worry, I will protect Ah Nan, the prince's flesh and blood are also my children."
Chu Ran smiled unconsciously, the princess is really polite, and she will be a virtuous housemate after she figured it out, she boasted: "The princess is virtuous, the bastard prince will understand your goodness, it is late, I will go out of the palace first .”
"Sister, aren't you going to see Ah Nan?" The Crown Princess got up to see her off.
Chu Ran said: "No need, just pay more attention and be more careful about diet."
The Crown Princess is the main concubine, she doesn't need to see the lowly concubine's room, if others know about it, it will put Ah Nan on the edge of the storm, so it's better to pretend not to care.And the palace servant asked Concubine Ming to take care of her more, and most likely nothing would happen.
Nowadays, it is not as convenient as before for her to be closely watched by His Majesty, and she will disappear as soon as she can.
The Crown Princess sent her out of the East Palace in person, but before leaving the palace, the servants came over, saying that His Majesty summoned her.
Chu Ran took it for granted, followed the servants into Zhanghuatai graciously, and only got a cup of tea every time she entered the palace. After a few gossips, His Majesty let her out of the palace, it was no big deal.
Today was the same, she took a cup of tea and looked at it quietly, and said strangely: "Don't you feel bored drinking this tea every day?" No taste.
"Taste the tea carefully. What's the fun in drinking like this? At the end of the year, I will reward you with some good things. The tribute blood jade corals will be brought back to the house for fun. I heard that the old lady of the Lu family is sick?"
The blood jade coral is a treasure. Chu Ran wrote it down after seeing the same thing. She was also happy when she heard the unreasonable reward, and she didn't take the second half of the sentence to heart. It’s a big deal, just rest and rest, thank you daddy for rewarding me.”
Emperor Chu didn't want to talk to her anymore, seeing that the teacup in front of her was empty, he waved his hand at her: "Go out of the palace, I still have political affairs to deal with."
Chu Ran responded and exited Zhang Huatai.
After getting the blood jade coral, she was a little happy to see it, and it looked very beautiful in the house, the half-person tall coral was dazzling in the house.She suddenly remembered the tea she drank in the palace, every time His Majesty would look at her cup of tea, and if she finished drinking, he would send her out of the palace.
For some reason, she panicked and asked someone to move the coral into the warehouse, and invited the doctor from the mansion to come over.
Axiu didn't know what happened, she was always panicked after she invited the doctor, His Highness looked at the alive and kicking, asked the doctor what to do.
After the doctor was invited inside, he dared not raise his head, felt for Princess Xinping's pulse, he could hear a needle drop in the room, he withdrew his hand after a while, and said: "Your Highness's pulse condition is stable, there is no internal disease, but what is uncomfortable?"
"No, you can come here every three days from now on." Chu Ran was still worried, maybe the things in the dream made her feel lingering, and she was always uneasy.
After it got dark, Lu Xiang went back to his residence.
Axiu habitually reported to her what happened in the mansion, when she heard about inviting a doctor, her eyelashes twitched, and said: "Understood."
When she stepped into the room, she saw a person leaning lazily on the couch. The room was warm, and she felt much more comfortable after entering. She took off the fox fur and walked to the couch, "Are you uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm just worried, maybe it's a fuss." Chu Ran was not very energetic. When he saw Lu Shi coming back, he raised his head to look at her, stretched out his hand towards her, and pursed the corners of his lips.
She seemed to have been greatly wronged by her appearance. When Lu Shi saw her wronged expression for the first time, he was taken aback for a moment, then reached out to hug her and touched her back: "Is it because your majesty called you into the palace today to drink tea?" thing?"
Chu Ran leaned in her arms, warming her body against the cold body, she couldn't help shivering, and instead of pushing her away, she held him tighter. She didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she stammered: "I just think It's a little strange, just calling me to taste tea can make people not see what's on my mind, and it's the same tea every time, it's just scary."
The person in his arms rubbed against each other like a kitten, and Lu Shi's cold heart began to heat up, "Let the doctor check his pulse frequently, and His Majesty's invitation will not go if you can."
"He is not an ordinary father, but His Majesty, why not go, maybe I am thinking too much." Chu Ran muttered, and the panic in his heart was calmed down by Lu Shi's return.
Lu Shi's eyes were cold. It's not uncommon for Emperor Chu to control the crown prince and King Heng with poison. In the past life, King Heng was angry and killed the king and father. Could it be that he used vicious methods on His Highness in this life?
After pondering for a long time, he said: "It's better to invite a few more doctors to come and have a look. Don't go out of the mansion tomorrow, just say that you have caught a cold." It can also be used to test His Majesty's attitude.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chu Ran withdrew from her arms and relaxed her mind.
At the time of the sacrifice at the end of the year, the prince was not in Hengwang to act on his behalf, and the queen claimed that he was not sick.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, most mansions would hold banquets for guests, and the Prime Minister's Mansion received a lot of posts. Neither of them had ever left the mansion, so they were tired of embroidering sachets together.
Chu Ran didn't know the skills, and her fingers were pricked. Lu Shi had no choice but to teach her. The free time would always pass quickly. Feng Tang came to pay a visit in the afternoon, and Lu Shi led him to the study.
"Lu Xiang, the person who investigated the warships of Qinghe came back. Compared with Qinghe's warships, they are indeed different. These are the blueprints of the two parties." Feng Tang handed the blueprints to Lu Xiang.
The courtiers who followed King Heng to Wujiang last year were more careful and left blueprints, and then asked people to spend a lot of money to buy the blueprints of ordinary warships in Wujiang, so that the craftsmen could compare them, so it was naturally clear at a glance.
Lu Shi said, "Hasn't Lu Huaisi compared them before?"
"Where he can be the master, Hengwang takes care of everything. He has gained a good reputation without any effort, so how can he talk too much." Feng Tang explained.
"That day, Lu Huaisi at the gate of the city might have seen his reputation. His Majesty tested His Highness in every possible way, and summoned him to the palace several times, and treated him with tea."
"Entering the palace just to taste tea?" Feng Tang was surprised. His Majesty was busy with political affairs and had not summoned him once in the past six months. Why did he suddenly summon him frequently? She suggested: "But there is something wrong with the tea?"
"The pulse condition can't be diagnosed, so I don't know at the moment." Lu Shi was preoccupied, and put several blueprints into the cabinet, "Your Majesty's mind is as vicious as a tiger, and he doesn't know what he's thinking for a while."
A companion is like a tiger, and he understands the truth, but he can't see the direction clearly when he is in it. Lu Shi has invited many doctors in the past few days, and every time he replies, he is in good health. After a long time, it makes people more disturbed.
Feng Tang didn't know how to explain it. He had followed Lu Xiang for many years, and he already knew her heart for Princess Xinping, and the two had a deep relationship.She tentatively said: "Why don't you try Master Lu? Li Chu was extremely dissatisfied with him, and endured it again and again. Ever since he knew that Lu Huaisi's mind was wrong, he felt very regretful."
Lu Huaisi's status was embarrassing. If Lu Xiang took action, he might feel ashamed of Mrs. Lu. Li Chu is also Lu Xiang's confidant.
Therefore, Li Chu never dared to do anything, and Feng Tang was also dissatisfied. She always felt that Lu Xiang was in a dilemma, and she said: "Why don't you transfer people out of Yingdu City?"
"I'm already trying, but His Majesty won't agree to transfer him if he enters the Ministry of Officials." Lu Shi said, she had lingering fears, Lu Huaisi's death is not a pity, but it is difficult to mobilize for a while, His Majesty is suspicious, and she might provoke her thoughts On the body, the gain outweighs the loss.
Feng Tang lamented unceasingly. When he was about to leave the mansion, he met Princess Xinping. She had picturesque eyebrows, and she was very pretty in a red dress. After she saw the ceremony, the princess asked to stay: "Master Feng, why don't you stay for dinner."
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave the house first."
Chu Ran only thought she was being polite, but Lu Shi pinched her palms when she tried to persuade her again, and she pursed her lips and stopped talking. How could Lu Xiang be so stingy, and she was pinched for keeping someone for dinner.
After Feng Tang left, Chu Ran pinched her wrist aggressively: "What are you pinching me for?"
"Master Feng has something to do, His Highness, don't delay him."
"There is no rush to do things."
"Urgent, she is very anxious." Lu Shi smiled lightly, and led the angry man back to the study.
The study room was warm and warm, and the light dimmed a lot after the door was closed, Chu Ran hated her for pinching herself, pressed the person against the door panel after the room was closed, and stared at her: "What unspeakable things did you do? "
"It has nothing to do with me." Lu Shi was held still by her, staring at the luster in her eyes.
Chu Ran didn't believe it, and learned to buckle her waist backwards, forcing her to look directly at herself: "The word Lu Shi is the one I don't believe the most. It has nothing to do with you, who has something to do with it?"
Lu Shi smiled lightly, "She went to look for Liancheng, I didn't tell her, she wanted to go."
"What is she going to do with Liancheng?" Chu Ran didn't understand it for a while, and when she opened her eyelids, she saw a smile in her eyes, and suddenly felt cheated by her again, "Liar, I will punish you for not eating tonight. Don’t eat, you don’t have anything to eat.”
Lu Shi didn't talk to her about going around, after all, the two people's thoughts were not obvious yet, how could Liancheng, a simple and honest boy, understand Feng Tang's intentions.
She didn't talk about things she was not sure about, but Chu Ran was still dissatisfied. She moved towards her, nose to nose, and threatened her: "My chains haven't been finished yet, so you'll be crazy for a few days."
"It's okay, as long as His Highness is happy." Lu Shi was unmoved, Chu Ran loved to say these threatening words, but she never saw her take any action whatsoever, and what she said verbally should not be taken seriously.
Chu Ran snorted coldly, and unconsciously breathed hot breath on the tip of his nose. After Lu Shi's heart trembled slightly, he gently closed his eyes, waiting for Chu Ran's next move.
"I don't want to kiss you if you want to." Chu Ran let go, opened the door of the study generously, and left leisurely.
Lu Shi: "..."
Chu Ran ran away after teasing someone, and ran happily.Feng Tang went to look for Liancheng, and after the two met on a moonlit night, they strolled among the neighborhoods, and Liancheng bought her many gadgets, including countless hairpins and rouge.
Feng Tang was never cautious, and accepted everything. The two of them came here on horseback. After drinking in the restaurant, they were going back to the house. When they were riding horses, they met Lu Huaisi at the entrance of the alley, and the Lu family's carriage blocked the road. Common people can only avoid it.
The two stood at the entrance of the alley and couldn't get in and out. The servants of Lu's mansion cursed and cursed, and the common people stayed away.
Liancheng wanted to send her back to the mansion, and it would be unsafe for a woman to be out in the middle of the night, Feng Tang reined in the reins, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Mr. Lu dragged the princess mansion's annual ceremony, so angry that Brother Li is still in a bad mood today. flat."
"I'm afraid Mr. Lu dare not forget the incident of being beaten in Qinghe, and now he goes out with his servants." Hatred flashed in Liancheng's eyes, looking at the scene around him, he came up with a plan, and said, "Feng My lord, I will send someone to take you back first."
"No, you can't miss a good show." Feng Tang smiled deeply, turned his horse's head, and rode towards the noisy place. Liancheng rode his horse behind to catch up, and the two left one after the other.
After burning incense, the carriage is still blocking the entrance of the alley, the coachman is sleeping in the carriage, and the servant hurriedly wakes you up: "Your Excellency is here."
The coachman jumped down after waking up, and got into the carriage facing the adults. Before he could shake the whip, something hit him in the dark, hit his forehead, and the carriage fell down in a blink of an eye.
The boy panicked and hurriedly guarded the carriage: "There are assassins, there are assassins."
After shouting several times, the pedestrians all ran out of the alley, and several men in black came rushing in with sticks.
One person stepped forward and kicked the horse's ass directly. The cold wind raged and the starlight was faint.
The carriage rushed up the street, and the sporadic pedestrians ran away in fright. Feng Tang sat on the horse, staring at these things coldly.
There was another scream in the city of Yingdu, and the tall horse fell to the ground, the carriage fell down, and a cry came from inside the carriage.
Liancheng hurried forward to check, the horse's breath was much weaker, and he no longer had the strength to run, so he tried to call outside: "Is there anyone in the car?"
"Yes, yes..." Lu Huaisi's voice trembled, showing a lack of momentum.
Liancheng lifted the curtain of the car, stepped on something to get in, and immediately heard another call, he hurriedly withdrew, "I'm sorry, who are you?"
"Officer Lu Huaisi." The voice was weak, probably because of a hard fall.
"It turned out to be Master Lu, the lower official Liancheng, do you want to help you out?" Liancheng held back a smile, and dragged him out ruthlessly. The boy behind came to him, and his shouts overshadowed Lu Huaisi's cries of pain.
The servant hurriedly sent him back to the mansion, Liancheng said goodbye and sent Feng Tang back to the mansion with a smile.
Chu Ran in the Prime Minister's Mansion was forced to the cliff before she could figure out how to make the iron chains. She hugged the quilt and looked at Lu Shi who had returned from the bath, and kicked her legs: "Why do you like bells, why don't you like them yourself?" Tie one up and listen to whatever you want."
She didn't understand the fun, and she thought about iron chains more deeply. Seeing Lu Ji's gentle face, she stretched out her feet reluctantly, and said, "You tie one yourself."
Chu Ran was nagging, and Lu Yi was extremely silent. Unlike Chu Ran, she would only coax people when she was gentle, and it was not yet time.
Lu Shi had a seven-day holiday, so he naturally wanted to spend some time with Chu Ran, and he would not leave the mansion at will, and stay in the mansion to deal with business and spare time at night.
She was usually indifferent, Chu Ran sat upright holding the quilt, and said sarcastically: "Lu Xiang, don't want to look like this, as if I am bullying you."
Lu Shi remained silent, and stretched out his arms to hug Chu Ran to lie down. After the two approached, Chu Ran moved his legs inadvertently. When the bell rang, he muttered, "I hate it."
When she looked up, she saw Lu Shi's serious expression, and she wanted to say a few more words of sarcasm, but Lu Shi forced her to block all her sarcastic words, and the words were swallowed, and she moved her feet angrily.
A voice like a magic voice sounded, and she had no choice but to hold back her temper, put her hands on Lu Shi's back, and the corner of her mouth curved slightly, and she easily untied her restraint. happy.
She moved impatiently, but suppressed her temper.
Lu Shi likes to see how restrained and forbearing she is. She is obviously impatient, but she is trying her best to endure it. When her fingertips brush her skin, there is obviously a burst of water.
Chu Ran pursed her lips, her skin was pink, beautiful and attractive.
Lu Shi was attracted without moving, and it was difficult to read through a long night of simple ear-to-eye contact. She touched the little thing on her ankle, and gently dialed it. Chu Ran was annoyed, and the corners of her lips were bitten bright red, redder than rouge How much, "You, you..."
She couldn't speak, Lu Shi gently dialed again, and the redness in Chu Ran's eyes deepened, "Lu Xiang is very annoying."
Chu Ran is used to duplicity, saying that she hates it, but she doesn't see any rejection. Lu Shi smiled lightly, adding a touch of flair to her cold brows and eyes. Chu Ran suddenly wanted to hear her voice, which was so cold and begging for mercy.
Before I could think about it in my mind, there was a knock on the door outside the house: "Mr. Lu, when the Lu family sent the message, Mr. Lu was injured and was in critical condition."
This was probably the worst sound, Lu Shi ignored it, and instead covered Chu Ran's ears: "Don't worry about it."
After the maid yelled once, Axiu covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down, Prime Minister Lu is resting, why are you so ignorant."
The servant girl was wronged: "I don't want to, the messenger said it was very anxious."
Axiu lowered her voice: "Report to the Marquis Mansion, don't disturb Lu Xiang and His Highness."
Chu Ran in the room heard the lowered voices of the two, and was too frightened to move. She was tense, but fortunately her feet hadn't moved yet. She raised her head and looked at Lu Shi. Her eyes were as vast as distant mountains and as clear as autumn water. My heart softened beyond words.
However, at the next moment, Chu Ran regretted looking at Lu Xiang tenderly. In Lu Xiang's eyes, that look was extremely attractive.
****
After a night of wind and rain, neither of them got up early, the wind outside was stronger, listening to the howling cold wind, the whole body felt cold.
Lu Shi hadn't fallen asleep yet, and Chu Ran was half awake. She took Lu Shi's hand by feeling and whispered in her ear, but she couldn't hear what she said.The two lay on each other, and Lu Shi got up to take a shower. When he opened the door, Axiu hadn't gone to sleep. Seeing her coming out, he subconsciously asked, "Lu Xiang is worried about the Lu family?"
"Bath." Lu Shi's voice sounded colder than the wind, Axiu understood, and asked someone to prepare hot water, followed Lu Xiang and said: "Master Lu met an assassin, the carriage was startled, someone passed by and cut off the horse's hooves, Master Lu fell hard and is still falling asleep."
The cold winter night was bitingly cold, Lu Shi seemed not afraid of the cold, and took a bath in the cold night.
After washing her sticky body, she changed into a clean robe and returned to her bedroom. Chu Ran half-opened her eyes when she heard the voice, and seeing that she was refreshed, she said, "I'm going to take a bath too."
Lu Shi didn't stop her, and asked someone to prepare hot water, and then waited quietly for her in the house, thinking about Lu Huaisi in his spare time, he thought he was going to a banquet tonight, why did he encounter an assassin again, and who was involved in it .
Lu Huaisi has a pedantic temperament, is not good at communication, or is in the way of other ways.
She couldn't think clearly, Chu Ran had already returned from the bath, her whole body was warm, she was sleepy and tired, she fell asleep lying on the outside.Turning over, she got into Lu Shi's arms, closed her eyes comfortably, and didn't speak.
Lu Shi was hiding something in his heart, so he couldn't sleep naturally, but the person beside him was sleeping well. She poked Chu Ran's cheek thinking that there would be nothing to do tomorrow: "Ah Ran, talk to me."
Chu Ran's face was flushed, and her sleepy color was even more cute. When Lu Shi touched her skin, it was even warmer and softer.
"Okay." Chu Ran dealt with her in his mouth, dizzy in his head, she touched Lu Shi's face without opening her eyes, leaned over and kissed, "Sleep, sleep."
I don't know where the kiss was, but she met Lu Xiang anyway, and she slipped into his arms contentedly.
Her body was emitting heat. From Lu Shi's point of view, the skin under her neck was pink, and she was even more seductive after bathing in hot water. She was helplessly confused, and after sighing, she stopped talking.
A heavy sigh sounded in his ears, Chu Ran was still in deep sleep, and responded to Lu Xiang: "What are you sighing for?"
"It's nothing, go to sleep." Lu Shi didn't want to disturb her, so he patted her on the back to comfort her. After Chu Ran hummed a few times, he stuck closer to her.
Unreasonably provocative, with the scent of the tip of the nose, Lu Shi was slightly uncomfortable, and she was not sleepy, so she was even more upset. She took Chu Ran's hand from her waist, and she wanted to get up and go to the study.
As soon as the person moved, Chu Ran woke up. When she saw her get up, she looked outside at the sky. It was dark and no one could be seen. "Where are you going?"
"Study, sleep well if you're sleepy." Lu Shi turned around and felt bad for waking her up. He stretched out his hand to help her lie down, but when he reached into the air, Chu Ran sat up in a daze, "I'll accompany you .”
Lu Shi was helpless, afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave, so she had to lie down and embrace the person: "No, let's sleep well."
Chu Ranfu lay in her arms again and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, no one came to look for her, and the weather was gloomy. Lu Shi slept very late, and before she woke up, Chu Ran woke up first. After thinking about what happened last night, she leaned on Lu Shi and poked her shoulder: "Lu Xiang, Prime Minister Lu, you can go to the Lu Mansion today."
At this time, Lu Shi was sleepy, but Chu Ran woke up, and she said: "No, His Highness can get up first when he wakes up."
Chu Ran didn't want to, and still leaned on her, kissed her eyebrows, and sometimes kissed the corners of her lips, which made Lu Shi feel sleepy, so she patted Chu Ran's back: "Do you want to do it?" very?"
"I want to go to Lu's residence." Chu Ran smiled, afraid that she would not want to, and kissed her obediently: "I am curious about the injury of Second Master Lu."
Lu Shi woke up completely, took Chu Ran's hand, thought carefully and said, "I'll go in the afternoon."
"Why in the afternoon?" Chu Ran was puzzled, she never thought about Lu Shi's hand reaching in, she was startled suddenly, and said, "You can't afford it?"
"Your Highness does teasing things early in the morning. Could it be that it's just to get up?" Lu Shi didn't want to go to the Lu Mansion too early, and it was just right in the afternoon, so he wouldn't appear too eager.She was awakened by someone, and looked at the culprit helplessly.
Chu Ran never thought about the consequences. Seeing Lu Shi move, she frowned and kissed the corner of her lips, biting carefully, and said in a low voice, "I'm on top."
Lu Shi smiled lightly and just stared at her quietly. Chu Ran felt his heart warm from seeing her, and slowly kissed her brows and eyes. Her eyelashes trembled nervously. She gently released the restraint, marveling at Lu Xiang's skin.
She wanted to kiss her, but the annoying maid knocked on the door again, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Lu, the Marquis has passed the residence."
Surprised by the voice, Chu Ran fell on Lu Shi's body, and when her skin touched, a gust of wind and rain started up. She sighed, "I'm letting you go."
Lu Shi still smiled lightly. After getting up, Chu Ran lay on the couch and tugged at her cuffs: "Lu Xiang, what kind of fragrance do you like? Do you want floral fragrance or herbal fragrance?"
I made the sachet a few days ago, and I was busy checking at the end of the year. I haven't thought about which spices to use. Lu Shi has his own fragrance, and Chu Ran likes the cold fragrance. He doesn't want to be covered by other fragrances, so he hesitates Indecision.
Lu Shi said: "The herbs are fragrant."
"Okay, I'll ask the doctor when he comes to check the pulse." Chu Ran turned over again on his stomach, showing traces of yesterday's happiness at the neckline.After Lu Shi glanced at it, his expression remained the same, and he left indifferently.

The Marquis of Runan is not a generation of Ji Ji Ying Ying, who can't dance his mind wildly. In recent years, after he settled his feud with Lu Shi, he has always stabilized his temperament. Therefore, he is unremarkable in the court, and he will almost be overwhelmed by Lu Huaisi.
He can hold his breath, he is conscientious in his job, and he will not casually associate with powerful people. He has become more and more similar to Lu Xiang in temperament. After what happened last night, his mother almost cried all night, panicking, and he had to come here early in the morning Ask to see the prime minister.
Lu Shi came over after washing up, first used a few pieces of pastries to cushion the bed, and asked about what happened last night.
Marquis Runan said: "The incident happened suddenly. It was originally an assassin's assassination, but in the end it became a shocking horse. The second master has hardly seen the assassin, and the servant also said that it was too dark to see clearly. There is no substantive evidence. And the shocking horse last night Afterwards, there was a commotion in the alley, and the assassin took the opportunity to escape, no one cared at all."
"The assassins came prepared, never harmed their lives, and left behind. It is impossible to find out like this. It is similar to the case of Qinghe. The second master is acting more and more ruthlessly now. There are not a few people who have offended people. And the Wujiang warship incident There is also something strange, brother and him need to draw a clear line as soon as possible."
"How can I make it clear that my mother lives in Lu's mansion, so is it possible that she doesn't even recognize her?" Marquis Runan was also distressed. Now that the situation is becoming more and more tense, King Heng and the prince are making comparisons secretly. He doesn't want to be contaminated by these things. However, Erfang flattered King Heng, what he said and did.
Lu Shi casually said: "Then ask mother to go back to the manor to take care of the son's marriage. If it's not good enough, there is always a way to invite him back to the mansion."
The prime minister is always cruel, and Hou Ye couldn't catch up with her. After hearing the words, he was surprised by her decisiveness, and said: "Then I will ask mother to return to the house after he recovers from his injuries."
"I'm afraid it will be too late then." Lu Shi said, the evidence in her hand made her unable to wait too long, the matter had to be resolved before the prince came back, Heng Wang's collusion with Wu Jiang was a certainty, and Lu Huaisi's following Heng Wang would eventually taste the consequences.
Lord Hou didn't know Lu Xiang's plans, and said, "When is the latest?"
"Early February."
It's enough to recover from injuries in January. Master Hou understood Lu Xiang's intentions, got up and said, "I understand, it's just that my mother is in a state of mind, and the matter of the annual ceremony has already made her flustered. Why don't you go and persuade Lu Xiang."
Lu Shi should not: "What's the use of my persuasion."
She is used to being stubborn, Master Hou is not good at persuading her, thinking of the relationship between mother and daughter in recent years, she also sighed, the bitter fruit that I have brewed should be borne by myself, no one else can replace it.
After Master Hou left, Chu Ran got up. The doctor sent several herbs, all of which were calm and calm, but the fragrance was different. She didn't know which one was better, so it was difficult to decide.
Xinyang happened to come over with a food box, which contained all kinds of flowers and candies, as well as a lot of dried fruits. She was a little struggling to carry it, so Axiu took it, "Why is Princess Xinyang free to come over today?"
"Bring some food to Sister." Xinyang ran into the house eagerly, seeing herbs on the table, curious: "Sister makes a sachet?" She has seen hollow incense balls with herbs or spices inside, hanging on the waist The room is really beautiful.
She sniffed them one by one, pointing to the one with the faintest fragrance, and said, "This is good, it won't cover up the fragrance on Lu Xiang's body."
"What fragrance does Lu Xiang have on him?" Chu Ran said dryly, and Xinyang was so frightened that he didn't dare to talk nonsense. He took a bite of the dried apricot and blocked his mouth.
What she said was wrong, but the reasoning was the same. After choosing for a long time, Chu Ran still chose the share that Xinyang said, and finally put it in a sachet, hung it on her waist to try it out, and then looked at the bronze mirror and asked Xinyang Yang: "How?"
"Very good, very good, but the embroidery is not very good-looking, can it be worn out?" Xinyang hurriedly leaned over and pointed at the pattern of the lotus, "Sister, if you miss one stitch in the embroidery here, the stitches will loosen."
Chu Ran's eyes were dim, and she slapped her dirty hands away: "Lu Xiang praised her beauty, so don't talk too much."
"Where it looks good, Lu Xiang just coaxed sister." Xinyang poked at her words without thinking, and regretted it after finishing speaking, Hanhan smiled, and said: "I'm just joking, it's pretty pretty."
"It's not easy to beat children in the first month." Chu Ran patted the dust on the sachet, and his eyes signaled Xinyang to get out of the prime minister's house quickly, and it was intentional to get angry with her when he came here early in the morning.
Xin Yang shrank his head, took half a step back, took away the snack box he brought, and said: "Sister, I will hold a banquet in the future, remember to come and play with Lu Xiang."
"No." Chu Ran said unhappily. She untied the sachet on her body and compared it with the pillow on the couch. It seemed that it was really not good. She hid the sachet under the pillow in annoyance, and embroidered it again when she had time.
Lu Shi was busy and didn't think about the sachet. In the afternoon, he and Chu Ran went to Lu Mansion to visit Lu Huaisi.Lu Xiang was calm, but Chu Ran was a little gloating. When he entered the mansion, he saw the old lady sighing.
After seeing the two of them coming, he didn't have any good words, and said sarcastically: "Lu Xiang condescended to come here, but it's hard work."
Chu Ran smiled slightly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, the hard work is that the old lady stayed up all night."
The old lady was so angry that she smashed the hot tea in her hand, "His Royal Highness satirized the Lu family when he first started. If he looked down on the Lu family at the beginning, why bother to downgrade the prime minister."
The topic changed too quickly, and Chu Ran said coldly: "The old lady smashed things in front of me, but there is a word of respect, and she didn't salute me when she entered the door. Whoever made a sarcasm first, Lu Erye provoked it by himself." Disaster, what's the use of satirizing Prime Minister Lu, if you have the ability, you don't have to knock on the door of the prime minister's mansion in the middle of the night, disturbing people's sleep for no reason."
She was so frightened last night that she hardly dared to breathe, and now thinking about it, she also feels angry.
Chu Ran is used to being kind to the old lady, and she never said anything disrespectful. After a long time, she made no distinction between superiority and inferiority. No matter how down-and-out she is, she is still a princess, so there is no need to listen to her ridicule.
Mrs. Lu did not say a word because of Lu Shi, and she was not to be outdone, "I never invited the princess over, but the princess came to the door in person, and if she came to visit, why didn't she come here empty-handed and thought she was justified?"
Chu Ran understood where the crux was. She came in a hurry, and the ceremony was behind her. She paused, and the old lady immediately grasped her weakness and said: "Your Highness is speechless. Is it the royal education to come to the door rudely?"
"Whether your Highness is upbringing or not is a matter for the Son of Heaven. The old lady talks too much. You invited me today, but now she is making sarcastic remarks. In the future, people from the Lu Mansion will not enter the Prime Minister's Mansion again, step on the steps of the Prime Minister, and break a pair of legs." .”
Lu Yi's words were cold, calm and indifferent, and he left while holding Chu Ran's hand, and there was another wail in the room.
Her rare decisiveness surprised Chu Ran, "Lu Xiang, do you have a plan?"
"In the eyes of His Highness, the minister is the one who plans everything?"
Chu Ran is silent, isn't it?The big and small things are all planned first, and she is tricked around, especially when it comes to love. The planning is successful every time.
