Qi Yuning gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't cry."
Men are fickle, so why did she think Lu Ze was an exception?
Lu Baozhu walked to the front of the cell and looked at the sparkle in Qi Yuning's eyes: "If these are not tears, what are they? This princess is going to be released, aren't you happy for me?
Prepare some grapefruit juice tomorrow. As soon as I'm released from prison, I'll go see my little Lingling."
"Lingling is gone!" Qi Yuning said, "There will be no Lingling in the future!"
After Qi Yuning finished speaking, he turned away.
Lu Baozhu said in the cell: "Hey, Qi Yuning, Lingling is my niece, you can't stop me from seeing Lingling."
Qi Yuning returned to the palace and saw Lu Ze's clothes in the room. She frowned and walked up to him and threw all of his clothes out the door.
She said to the maid outside, "Burn it."
"Ah?" Xiaoman said in shock, "Princess, burning a living person's clothes is unlucky. How can you burn Prince Lu's clothes when he's still alive?"
Qi Yuning asked: "Is he still alive?"
Xiaoman was surprised and said, "Ah? Master Lu is gone? Isn't he..."
Shuangjiang advised Qi Yuning, "Princess, burning the clothes of a living person will indeed bring bad luck to the living person. It would be better to sell these clothes. It can also help a lot of poor people. These are all top-quality materials. It would be a pity to burn them."
Qi Yuning said, "It's up to you, just don't let me see these clothes again."
When Lu Ze entered the yard, he saw Xiaoman carrying his clothes out. Lu Ze thought it was the maid going to wash them, so he didn't care and went straight into the house.
Seeing Lu Ze coming, Qi Yuning asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing Qi Yuning half lying on the couch, Lu Ze asked with red eyes, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yuning pointed at the door and said, "Since you've already chosen Qin Yuli, why are you still coming to Prince Qi's Mansion? Go away!"
Lu Ze reached out and held Qi Yuning's fingers, pulling her into his arms.
Qi Yuning struggled, "Let me go."
Lu Ze didn't let go of Qi Yuning. He put his arm around her waist and asked, "When did I choose Qin Yuli?"
Qi Yuning said, "I went to see Lu Baozhu. She said you promised to release her from prison tomorrow morning. Didn't you already agree to marry Qin Yuli? Why are you still here with me?"
Lu Ze said helplessly, "Am I really that untrustworthy? Qi Yuning, we've known each other for eighteen years. We've known each other since you were a baby. How can you not trust me?"
Qi Yuning asked, "Besides agreeing to marry Qin Yuli, do you have any other way to save Lu Baozhu?"
Lu Ze said, "Of course."
Lu Ze looked down at Qi Yuning and said, "When did you become as impulsive and quick-tempered as Baozhu? I'm not worthy of your trust. Am I, Lu Ze, the kind of person who says one thing and does another?"
Qi Yuning looked into Lu Ze's eyes and said, "You Lu family men have already betrayed me once. I let Lu Yun off lightly for Lingling's sake. If you betray me again... I will never forgive you."
"Leave me alone. My Qi Family Palace still has the imperial seal of trust bestowed by His Majesty. If you can save my life, I won't have to pay for it even if I kill you!"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "You still know about the Red Book and Iron Certificate?"
Qi Yuning reacted and said, "So you want to use the Red Book and Iron Certificate to save Lu Baozhu?"
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "What else? If I really wanted to agree to Qin Yuli, I should have agreed last night. You, you, I thought Princess Qi was always calm and intelligent, but it turns out..."
Qi Yuning listened to Lu Ze's chuckle and said unhappily, "Only when you are completely indifferent can you remain calm. If I didn't care about you, why would I be so impulsive and angry?"
Lu Ze touched Qi Yuning's hand and said, "The Crown Prince should have known about Prince Jin's knowledge of opium, but he hasn't made any move. Now we can only wait for the Persian envoy to arrive and investigate the matter of the swap of Aping. Is there any solid evidence? I want you to write a letter to Aping and ask Nanny Qin to return to Beijing to testify."
Qi Yuning said: "Okay, I'll go write the letter right away."
Lu Zelou held Qi Yuning's waist tightly and said, "There's no rush. Just lie down with me for a while."
Qi Yuning lay down on the chaise longue with Lu Ze. She looked at Lu Ze's exhausted appearance and asked, "Why do you look so tired?"
Lu Ze said, "Today is Yu An's first day at the Dali Temple. He's deliberately making things difficult for the Dali Temple staff. He doesn't dare to do anything to me, but he's picking on my staff, asking for this case file, then that, and even for bamboo slips, which are not easy to find."
Qi Yuning reached out and massaged Lu Ze's shoulders, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ze said, "Fortunately, he can only nitpick on these minor matters and won't be involved in any of the important cases at the Dali Temple."
Qi Yuning sighed softly and said, "Lu Ze, shouldn't we prepare for the worst? I'm thinking that as soon as you and I get married, I'll go to Beicheng. As soon as Ping comes out of confinement, then no matter what the situation in Shengjing is, our Qi family will march into the capital to support the Zhao family's rule. What do you think?"
Lu Ze replied, "Well, given the current situation, we have to mobilize the Qi family's troops."
Qi Yuning slowly closed her eyes in Lu Ze's arms. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she called out to Lichun, "Go stop Xiaoman and tell her to take the clothes to the laundry room to be washed. Don't sell them."
After saying that, Qi Yuning finally fell asleep in Lu Ze's arms.
Lu Ze gently hugged Qi Yuning and took a nap with his eyes closed. He would go back to the Lu Mansion later to take away the red book and iron certificate, and he would have a good time to talk to her.
Qi Yuning woke up after sleeping for less than half an hour. When she woke up, it was already dusk outside. Through the open window, the setting sun in the west shone brightly with golden light.
