The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

Le Ning was a little dazed by Zhou Xiantong's direct way of asking.

She subconsciously cleared her throat, and the intuition in her mind should be to deny it. After all, it is not popular these days to pursue love boldly. With the relationship between her and Lu Wanzhen, it is not appropriate to get too close.

But thinking that the other party had expectations of him before he left, Le Ning couldn't say anything about his denial.

Of course, it could also be her...

I don't want to deny it at all.

No matter in this world or in the original place, she is a person who obeys her own will. If it is not something that is contrary to her principles, she will just muddle through. However, once there is something she cares about, she has to go against it. On the contrary, no matter how you think about it, it makes her uncomfortable.

During Le Ning's hesitation, Zhou Xiantong already understood her choice.

Immediately, a somewhat helpless smile appeared.

She looks very good, even if she was middle-aged in her early thirties in ancient times, she can still make people marvel at her beauty. There is a little sadness between the brows.

Yu Zhou Xiantong's appearance is not only not damaged at all, but on the contrary, it makes her temperament more unique, just like a delicate and beautiful flower, which has been favored by time, without any trace of aging, it seems to be able to bloom like this undefeated.

Every time Le Ning sees his mother's smiling face, he is always surprised:

Is it because I look in the mirror too little in this world?

She always doubts whether she will be as bright and charming as Zhou Xiantong in the future.

Zhou Xiantong didn't know that the little girl's thoughts were skewed at the moment. Her eyes had the transparency of the world and the unique temperament born in the aristocratic family, which made her eyes calm and deep, but they didn't look cold or indifferent. It is sharp, but has a kind of tolerant softness.

She said slowly: "I originally thought that you were born into the Lu family, but because of this identity, you suffered a lot when you were young. Mother should be planning for you to keep you farther away from these right and wrong places."

"Who would have thought that His Highness would have taken a fancy to you? I was still having a headache before. How can His Highness change his mind—"

"It's good now, it turns out that you and His Highness are already in love with each other."

"Love is the hardest thing to say. I just hope that you will have a better life in the future."

When she was talking, she looked at Le Ning with a hint of pity in her eyes, obviously thinking of Le Ning's life in exile in the past few years.

Le Ning pursed her lips. After the initial hesitation passed, now she seemed to be able to naturally admit the fact that she was also somewhat interested in Lu Wanzhen.

She habitually smiled at Zhou Xiantong, looked down at the floor tiles in front of her, and said after deliberation:

"I know my mother loves me dearly, and she can't bear to let me have anything to do with the court's schemes."

"It's just that I've never liked anyone, and this is the first time I've been attracted to someone, and I don't know how to go in the future, but now I feel that if I miss her..."

"I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Her life had originally turned a corner in the middle, and there was a deviation. The gods threw her into this unaccompanied age for no reason.

But who would have thought-

She's going to have feelings for someone here.

Le Ning didn't know if she would regret being with Lu Wanzhen in the future, but this was the first time she had a wish in this absurd time travel.

She wanted to try it.

No matter what the final result was, she wanted to give it a try, and it was the boldest decision she had made about this accident.

At least at the moment, she is very sure that even in another ten or twenty years, as long as she returns to this moment, she will still make the same choice.

When the mind is settled, the previously blurred road in front of me becomes more and more clear.

Seeing the firmness in her eyes, and the way her eyes became warm when she mentioned Lu Wanzhen, Zhou Xiantong smiled and shook her head.

"If your grandpa hears about this, he will be angry for a while."

"Forget it, Auntie lost you for ten years before, and I don't know how to make up for it. Now that you have finally encountered something that requires Auntie's support, I will carefully plan for you."

"It just so happens that I haven't entered the palace for a long time, so I will pass a sign in today to have a good talk with the queen."

"As for you, I will follow what you said first, and go to the south by the canal in the name of a friend, but you have to bring all the people around you anyway, and don't worry about me when you go far away—Mother can't bear it now. Scared."

"No matter what your Highness is, you have to return half a hair, okay?"

Zhou Xiantong's tone was gentle, as if gossiping, he instructed Le Ning dutifully, but in a few words, he had already arranged everything clearly.

Le Ning nodded, she knew that Lu Wanzhen's identity had not been exposed, if she got too close to His Highness, her reputation would inevitably be affected a little.

She can be indifferent to herself, but her parents and Duke Lu's mansion cannot be indifferent.

So she nodded firmly, lowered her eyes and replied:

"I'll save it, mother, don't worry, I won't let mother worry about me anymore."

Looking at her obedient and obedient appearance, Zhou Xiantong wanted to say something more, but in the end she only sighed softly, but the sigh was so faint that Le Ning could barely hear it.

……

Soon.

Le Ning came out of Zhou Xiantong's yard, and was about to order someone to pack his luggage. He just took two steps towards his own room, but remembered something, and looked around.

Looking around the scenery in the courtyard, she didn't find any clues.

But if she remembers correctly, Lu Wanzhen will indeed be accompanied by those men in black——

Combined with the fact that Lu Wanzhen used to turn into a cat from time to time to take a break here, Le Ning felt that according to Lu Wanzhen's physique that was always assassinated, maybe he would keep some people by his side just in case.

after all……

In case something happens to His Majesty with Mao'er's body, this oolong will be a big mess.

Previously controlled by emotions, now that Le Ning has calmed down, her thinking becomes clearer, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that this is the case, so after returning to her yard, she walked back and forth under the eaves.

After seeing that the servants were not there, she raised her hand and clenched her fist against her lips, tried to look in the direction of the eaves, and lowered her voice and softly shouted:

"Strong...a strong man?"

"Is the hero here?"

Shadow Nine and Shadow Ten: "..."

The two of them looked at each other, and looked at each other with doubts:

Is the princess calling them?

When Le Ning felt that these titles were too shameful, and was about to give up the plan, a black shadow hung upside down from the eaves, met Le Ning's gaze, and asked steadily:

"What's the girl's order?"

Fortunately, Le Ning was quite courageous. Although he was startled by the sudden appearance of a person, he did not go to the point of screaming.

Looking at the person who was hanging upside down and still breathing steadily, Le Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"You were sent by His Royal Highness to my side?"

Yingjiu nodded.

Le Ning continued to ask: "Then do you have any news with the other guards around His Highness? Can you tell me how Your Highness is doing now? I want to know her current situation."

"Did you... find it?"

A little hesitation appeared in Ying Jiu's eyes.

Although they could all see His Highness's love for the future Crown Princess, he was a little hesitant about whether to reveal the Prince's whereabouts to the Crown Princess.

Le Ning saw his hesitation, and said with a smile: "I just want to make up my mind, as long as she is alive and well."

Ying Jiu thought of His Highness's instructions to the two of them before leaving, to be responsive to Le Ning——

So immediately said:

"Yesterday, the shadow guards have found His Highness's whereabouts. His Highness was slightly injured and is currently recuperating."

Le Ning let out a long breath: "That's good."

She should have remembered this episode earlier, she was worried for a long time for no reason, if she came earlier to ask the shadow guards, wouldn't it be all right?

Le Ning recalled his reaction from hearing the news to the present, and felt a little funny.

Seeing her relieved look, Ying Jiu thought about the plan she had discussed with Zhou Xiantong just now, and was worried that she would cancel her plan to go out when she heard that she was slightly injured. For the sake of his highness, he racked his brains to change his words:

"Uh, the minor injuries are only seen by us martial arts practitioners. In fact, the doctor thinks the wounds are quite deep—"

I'm sorry, the imperial doctor, but you should carry this blame first.

Sure enough, Le Ning said "Ah?", full of worry on his face.

Because of Ying Jiu's words, the servants packed their luggage much faster.

Le Ning was rummaging through the recipes left by Zou Dequan earlier, looking for those nourishing prescriptions, so that he could make something for Lu Wanzhen at that time.

at night.

In the courtyard of the fourth room of the Lu family.

Lu Biheng felt that the atmosphere of today's dinner was a little weird.

Both the wife and the daughter were a little absent-minded.

He took the serving chopsticks and gave Zhou Xiantong a piece of hoof, cleared his throat, and asked, "Madam, what's the problem?"

Zhou Xiantong immediately came back to his senses, and subconsciously looked at Le Ning, remembering the news he heard from his sister in the palace, his eyes became more and more entangled, because he didn't know how to speak, so he imitated her husband and used the serving chopsticks to hold Le Ning A piece of stewed hoof:

"Aning, eat more."

The braised hoof is shiny with oil, and the deep color of the sauce is evenly dyed all over the skin. It tastes very good, especially the crystal clear and smooth skin. In modern terms, it is impossible to know how much collagen can be replenished in one bite. protein.

You can poke it lightly with chopsticks, and you will find that the meat has long been stewed, and you can remove the meat without much effort, and you can see the soup slowly flowing out of the texture with the naked eye——

Le Ning saw the braised hoof, stared at it for a while, and suddenly said to himself:

"This should make up for it..."

To complement the shape, if Lu Wanzhen has injured hands and feet, he should be able to eat this dish, but it needs to be lighter, such as stewed with soybeans?

Lu Biheng looked around, and suddenly frowned and asked:

"You two, are you hiding something from me?"
