Chapter 351: They are never ordinary people
Many old officials still remember vividly how the emperor came to power and what he did after he ascended the throne.
To them, Lu Xinran's shock was just a shock that had long passed. They had always known that the emperor was cruel and bloodthirsty hiding in the dark, so they never dared to think about taking sides.
Who knows whether such indulgence, seemingly like raising poisonous insects, is intended to crush these court officials to death.
The empress dowager looked at the dense silver needles on the emperor's chest, and the only thing she remembered was Lu Xinran's original words.
It’s great to spit out this blood!
Everything will be fine once the emperor wakes up!
Lu Xinran was still waiting for Song Junyan to give her a hint. At this moment, Song Junyan was quickly calculating what to do next to pull them out of the vortex.
But this is already a muddy water, and they have already been in it, so how can they distance themselves from it?
He took a deep breath and said, "Go on."
Now that the situation has become what it is now, just let it take its course.
After getting his answer, Lu Xinran opened the emperor's booklet again.
[In the fifth year of being the crown prince, the emperor was taken to the cold palace by his father.]
【There……】
"Ask the King of Wei and the Queen of Wei to come in and see me."
The emperor, who had just woken up from a coma, suddenly felt relieved from his headache and blurry vision when he heard Lu Xinran mention what happened back then, and he even spoke with more energy.
The voice that had been soft and weak before now had a bit of strength.
This voice directly interrupted Lu Xinran's thoughts. The Queen Mother looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he wanted to stop Lu Xinran from continuing.
He didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager's expression. He just glanced at Eunuch Fu, indicating him to go out and bring Lu Xinran in.
Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and now that they couldn't hear any follow-up, they all felt itchy and suspicious.
The emperor rarely interrupted Lu Xinran's inner thoughts. He had ignored her many times before when she expressed her disdain and contempt for him, and he didn't care that these words would be heard by the court officials.
How come he interrupted the conversation just as he was about to talk about why he and the Queen had become strangers, regardless of the fact that he was still feeling extremely uncomfortable?
When Zhang Yongping heard her mention the word "cold palace", murderous intent suddenly flashed across his lowered eyes.
Others didn't know, but he could guess why the late emperor took him to the cold palace.
The Queen looked at the backs of the young couple being taken to the inner room by Eunuch Fu, and she also felt understood.
Ha, so that’s it.
It's really ironic.
The emperor's expression was not as ugly as before he vomited blood. Lu Xinran knew what the emperor wanted to know, so he repeated what he had said before.
He just emphasized that if he took that pill again, he would definitely vomit blood again, and he repeated that he would not live to see the end of the year.
The emperor's expression kept changing, and he subconsciously half believed and half doubted her words.
It was obviously just an ordinary aphrodisiac, it couldn't be as serious as she said.
This time, isn't he okay?
At worst, he will just find a way to vomit blood again next time he uses it.
Looking at the contents that kept appearing in the booklet, she shook her head speechlessly.
As expected, if God wants to destroy someone, he must make him crazy. The emperor is completely hopeless.
I don’t know what kind of people Yunsong arranged around the emperor to subtly influence him to such an extent.
"Alright, I'm fine now. You can go back early, and the court officials outside can also go away."
Lu Xinran could no longer be kept in the palace, and the secret of his life could not be known by the court officials and the empress dowager.
The emperor first asked Eunuch Fu to dismiss all the court officials. After they left the palace, he asked Eunuch Fu to personally escort them out of the palace.
The more he said this, the more it showed that there was something hidden.
The empress dowager's brows were already knotted. As soon as the young couple left, she waved her hand to send away the imperial physician who was still taking the emperor's pulse.
"Emperor, please tell me what happened between you and the Queen. You two have come to this point. Every time I see you like this, my heart aches."
She pulled the emperor and forced him to look at her.
The emperor was still a little dizzy at the moment and didn't want to talk about the past.
He waved his hands, his words full of deception: "Mother, the Queen and I are only young couples. It is normal for our feelings to fade over time. Don't think too much and just rest assured and take care of yourself."
He didn't want to say more and raised his hand to rub his brow. The empress dowager sighed, knowing that it was useless to say more, so she could only call the imperial physician in again.
When she left the inner room, the queen had already returned to Changchun Palace without her knowing.
Outside the palace gate, Song Junyan and Lu Xinlan had just walked to the carriage when Tang Quyan had already jumped down from the carriage nearby.
"I have met the King of Wei and his wife."
Lu Xinran's mind was now full of the contents of the booklet that was interrupted by the emperor. He was slightly startled when he suddenly heard Tang Quyan's voice.
Tang Quyan bowed to her awkwardly: "Princess Wei, between my wife and my daughter-in-law..."
"Sir Tang, I don't want to talk about what happened between them, but you have been handling cases in the Dali Temple for many years, and you know that everything should be objective and fair, and you cannot be biased or partial.
"I hope you can also make a rational and objective judgment on what exactly happened between Liu and my sister, and how it came to this point today.
“I can only say that Liu came to the Lu residence today and told us everything she really thought.
"My sister is of humble origin and cannot marry into your family. I hope Lord Tang will help her get divorced from your son as soon as possible."
After Lu Xinran finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and got on the carriage first.
Tang Quyan looked at Song Junyan awkwardly and hoped that he could give him some hints.
Song Junyan pursed her lips and looked at him for a long while, and finally said, "They are sisters who have never been ordinary people, and they are not willing to be manipulated by others, and will not become obedient playthings around others.
"Master Tang, your wife...was wrong from the beginning."
Tang Quyan stared blankly at the carriage of Prince Wei's mansion going away, his heart sinking.
His previous inference turned out to be correct. Something happened today that he was unaware of and irreversible.
Rubbing his temple, he got on the carriage and hurried to the Tang Mansion.
As soon as the couple returned home, a servant came hurriedly to report that there was a little beggar outside the mansion who wanted to hand them an important letter.
Lu Xinran raised his eyebrows. This method sounded like something Yunsong would use.
Song Junyan took people to see the little beggar, and she went straight to Lu Xinlan's yard.
She had to be told everything about the "confrontation" she had with Tang Quyan in the palace today.
"You," Lu Xinlan raised his hand and tapped her forehead: "Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted."
There was no other way for her and Tang Chongli to go. Even if Lu Xinran threatened Tang Quyan to divorce his wife, it was just a joke.
Her fate with the Tang family has ended.
Just wanting to divorce as you wish may not be easy.
"The biggest obstacle right now should be on my grandfather and father's side. I will go back to the Lu Mansion tomorrow to have a good talk with my grandfather."
"What's the point of talking to him? He only cares about himself. He is extremely selfish. He won't agree."
Speaking of Lu Jinchuan, Lu Xinran frowned in disgust.
"It's because of his personality that we need to have a good talk."
If she wants to divorce, someone has to make the decision for her.
Although Lu Xinran is a princess, she is not an elder.
