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 this isn't tears, what are you talking about? This princess is going to be released, aren't you happy for me?
Prepare some grapefruit water tomorrow. As soon as I am released from prison, I will 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. When she saw Lu Ze's clothes in the room, she frowned and walked up to him and threw all of his clothes out of the door.
She said to the maid outside, "Burn it."
"Ah?" Xiaoman was shocked. "Princess, it's unlucky to burn a living person's clothes. How can you burn Master 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 clothes of a living person will indeed bring bad luck to the living person. So, it is better to sell these clothes, and it can also help a lot of poor people. These are all top-quality materials, it is 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 pay much attention and went straight into the house.
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze coming and asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing here?"
Seeing Qi Yuning half lying on the couch, with red eyes as if she had been crying, Lu Ze asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yuning pointed at the door and said, "Since you have 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 did not let go of Qi Yuning, but hugged her waist and asked, "When did I choose Qin Yuli?"
Qi Yuning said, "I went to see Lu Baozhu. She said that you promised to release her from prison tomorrow morning. Didn't you already agree to marry Qin Yuli? Why did you come to my place?"
Lu Ze said helplessly: "Am I so untrustworthy? Qi Yuning, we have known each other for eighteen years. We have known each other since you were still an infant. Why don't you 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 there is."
Lu Ze looked down at Qi Yuning and said, "When did you become as impetuous and impatient as Baozhu? I am 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 betrayed me once, but 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 honor bestowed by His Majesty. It can save my life. I don'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 irrelevant can you remain calm. If I don'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 that Prince Jin knew about opium, but the Crown Prince has not made any move. Now we can only wait for the Persian envoy to arrive and check the matter of the replacement of Aping. Is there any solid evidence? I want you to write a letter to Aping and ask Nanny Qin to come back to Beijing to testify."
Qi Yuning said: "Okay, I'll write the letter right away."
Lu Zelou held Qi Yuning's waist tightly and said, "It's not urgent. Just lie down with me for a while."
Qi Yuning lay on the chaise longue with Lu Ze. Looking at Lu Ze's tired appearance, she asked, "Why do you look so tired?"
Lu Ze said, "Today is Yu An's first day at the Dali Temple. He deliberately made things difficult for the Dali Temple's subordinates. He didn't dare to do anything to me, but he picked on my subordinates. He asked for this case file and then that case file, and he even asked for bamboo slips. Bamboo slips are not easy to find."
Qi Yuning stretched out her hand to massage Lu Ze's shoulders and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ze said: "Fortunately, he can only find fault with these small matters and will not be involved in the important cases of the Dali Temple."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "Lu Ze, should we prepare for the worst? I want to wait until you and I get married, and then I will go to Beicheng. Once Ping is out of confinement, no matter what the situation in Shengjing is, our Qi family will send troops to Beijing to support the Zhao family's rule. What do you think?"
Lu Ze responded: "Well, given the current situation, we have to mobilize the Qi family's troops."
Qi Yuning gradually closed her eyes in Lu Ze's arms. When she was about to fall asleep, she called Lichun and said, "Go stop Xiaoman and ask her to send those clothes to the laundry room to be washed. Don't sell them."
After that, Qi Yuning felt relieved and 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 and talk to the Lu family about getting the red book and iron certificate to save Lu Baozhu, which would probably take a lot of effort.
Qi Yuning woke up after sleeping for less than half an hour. When he woke up, it was already dusk outside. Looking out from the open window, the setting sun in the west was shining brightly with golden light.
Lu Ze sensed the movement and opened his eyes. Seeing Qi Yuning close at hand, he reached out and touched her messy hair and kissed her red lips.
Qi Yuning moaned and returned Lu Ze's kiss.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Deqing's voice came from outside, and Lu Ze frowned.
Qi Yuning pushed Lu Ze away and said, "Deqing is looking for you, it must be something important."
Lu Ze looked into Qi Yuning's phoenix eyes, sighed softly, and held her to calm down for a while before he stood up, straightened his clothes, opened the door and saw Deqing, "How did you get into the princess's courtyard?"
Deqing said anxiously: "Madam, the old lady fainted, and the doctor said she might not survive today."
Qi Yuning tidied her clothes, and walked out of the room with her hair still a little messy, saying, "The old lady of the Lu family will live a long life!"
Just as Lu Ze said, it is impossible for His Majesty to die while pregnant with Lingling, and the same goes for Madam Lu.
Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning and said, "Yuning, I'll go back first..."
Qi Yuning said, "Wait for me for 25 minutes. I'll fix my hair and put on makeup, and then go back with you."
Lu Ze said: "You don't have to go to my grandmother...it will save you from getting angry."
Qi Yuning asked, "You are not afraid that your grandmother will make me angry, but you are afraid that I will make your grandmother angry, right?"
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Where? I'll wait for you to get dressed."
Qi Yuning entered the house and let the maid help her fix her hair.
Qi Yuning looked at the bronze mirror and patched up his eyebrows, and said to Lu Ze: "Your grandmother must have been waiting for you for a day. She must have wanted to persuade you to marry Qin Yuli. You want the Lu family's red seal to save Lu Baozhu, but I'm afraid you can't get past your grandmother." (End of this chapter)
