The crown prince of a country must be wise and strategic.
The prince's behavior in his early years was indeed worrying, but now he has shown some ability to be a ruler.
Fortunately, he was not taught badly by the Queen.
Thinking of this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in the emperor's eyes, and his gaze fell on Lu Linglong again. It seemed that on the day when Pingyang Hou returned to the court, she had spoken nonsense in front of the emperor. Such a woman who did not understand common sense and etiquette was left to the queen to disgust her.
It's a pity that the queen cannot be deposed easily.
"Okay, it's late, I want to go to bed, you can leave."
The emperor stood up and walked towards the harem, but when he stood in the long palace corridor, he didn't know where to go.
Eunuch Zhang looked at the emperor cautiously and asked carefully, "How about going to a few beauties or talented ladies?"
The emperor is old, and he is not a good person. There have been two selections of beautiful people and no one has been left in the palace.
Nowadays, they are all old and can't have a rest anywhere, so Eunuch Zhang only recommends those who have no children or concubines who are not favored.
The emperor thought for a moment, glanced at the sky, and nodded: "Yes."
It was getting late and the emperor was too lazy to walk far, so he went to the nearest Baolin. Perhaps because of his good service, Baolin was promoted to a talented person the next morning.
When the queen heard the news, she was furious and made a scene in her own palace. However, no matter how unhappy she was, she could only dress up and accept the gift from the new talent.
If the emperor is upset, he can move to another place and find someone to cheer him up.
Lu Yan was upset, but had nowhere to go.
He came out of the imperial study and walked back in a daze, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince following him like a shadow.
Xie Qingke was so curious: "I heard that Lord Lu's house collapsed again? And there was a fire? Lord Lu, do you want to go to the temple to burn some incense and pray for a peace charm? There's been so much going on in the mansion lately."
Isn’t that a lot of trouble?
Ever since Bai Wanyi came in, nothing has gone well for him. Something is wrong here or there.
Lu Yan didn't want to pay any attention to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
But the Crown Prince asked, and Lu Yan had to answer: "To answer your Highness, it seems that a tile on the roof came loose and fell, hitting the screen and touching the candle, causing the fire."
Roof tiles?
Xie Qing suddenly remembered the night when he and Qin Wan were removing tiles from the main courtyard roof. Could it be...
He suddenly felt a little guilty, raised his hand to touch his nose, and asked, "Did you hurt anyone?"
The tone he used to speak in was one of anticipation, but suddenly it changed. Lu Yan didn't notice anything strange about it, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite eccentric himself. He only said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness. We discovered it in time, no one was hurt, and the fire didn't spread. It's a blessing in disguise."
It was also the day of the wedding, and everything was very busy. The maids and servants didn't rest so early, and because they discovered it in time, no one was hurt. Otherwise...
Lu Yan felt a chill down his spine and quickly bowed to Xie Qing, saying, "I just remembered that every part of the house needs to be thoroughly checked to prevent any further incidents. I will take my leave now."
"Okay, okay, let's go." Xie Qing waved his hand. As long as no innocent people were hurt, it was good.
As for whether I will feel guilty or not, what’s the point?
Bai Wanyi hurt him so badly, and Lu Yan was also responsible, so he didn't feel guilty. It was just a pity for Miss Wu San, who suffered from the disaster and had her wedding ruined.
But it was her choice to enter such a family.
Xie Qing thought that this time he could take the opportunity to place someone in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Last time, when the Pingyang Marquis Mansion sold servants and then bought servants on a large scale, Xie Qing did not arrange anyone to go in, because they had just sold a batch, and those who were purchased would only be more cautious.
This fire required repairs everywhere, and it also showed that the Marquis' Mansion was short of staff. It would be easier to recruit more people.
Xie Qing did not return to the East Palace, but hurried out of the palace.
When Lu Yan returned to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion, it was almost dawn. He stood at the door, not knowing where to go.
In the past, the lord of a mansion lived in the main courtyard, and his wife lived in the back courtyard. Even if the lord did not want to visit his wife or one of the concubines, he could still go to the main courtyard.
But now, he has no place to live.
The servant lowered his head and yawned, tears welling in his eyes. Seeing that Lu Yan didn't move, he said, "My Lord, why don't you go to the study?"
Although there was no bed in the study in the outer courtyard, there was a couch, which was enough for people to sleep on. At least they could use it for one night. When the master had rested, the servants could also take a breath.
Lu Yan has lost the ability to think, if for no other reason, but because he is very sleepy. Tired and sleepy, how can his brain function?
"Alright, tell everyone to tell everyone that the Fifth Miss has been found. Don't make it public." He said, and turned to the study. He saw a maid waiting at the door: "My Lord, our wife wants to see you."
This lady is naturally Miss Wu San.
Lu Yan was not so confused as to not recognize the maidservant: "Is your wife okay?"
"Madam has been waiting for the Marquis." The maid bowed again and took a step forward as if to lead the way.
Lu Yan had no choice but to follow.
Miss Wu San now lives in a side room of Ci'an Courtyard, and the pregnant Qi Jing lives in the wing opposite. She returned to her room before Lu Yan returned home. As soon as she received the news that Lu Linglong had been found, she heard the movement in the yard and took a look through the window.
The little maid asked, "Auntie, would you like to invite the Marquis in?"
"Not really, I'm tired." Qi Jing yawned and got on the bed, lowering the curtains herself. As long as Lu Linglong found it, it would be fine. As for where it was, it was none of her business. "Turn off the lights."
The lights in the compartment went out.
Lu Yan just glanced at the wing room and followed Miss Wu San into the room.
