Qi Yuning returned to her own boudoir in the palace. She was angry at herself for being so angry this time.
She had to admit that she seemed to have fallen in love with Lu Ze.
"Yu Ning."
Lu Ze's voice came from the door.
Qi Yuning looked over in surprise, staring at Chunfen at the door and asked, "Did you let him in?"
Chunfen bowed his head and said nothing.
Lu Ze entered Qi Yuning's room, looked down at Qi Yuning and said, "I didn't jump into the water to save Guan Zhiyi, it was Deqing who jumped into the water to save her. I saved her to repay my grandmother's kindness, I never thought of taking her as a concubine.
You promised me a real couple before, when are you going to fulfill it?"
Qi Yuning snorted coldly: "I didn't agree to be your real husband and wife."
Lu Ze waved his hand and asked the maids to leave. He grabbed Qi Yuning's wrist and said, "Isn't it the style of the Qi family to keep their promises, Princess Qi?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze in front of her, raised her head and pressed her red lips against Lu Ze's red lips. They were already married anyway, so she would make Lu Ze her own person to prevent so many women from coveting him.
In the sunny spring of March, the first thunderstorm came.
Qi Yuning's boudoir was also filled with bright spring sunshine and blooming flowers.
The fog was thick, and Qi Yuning wanted to explore it, but Lu Ze covered his eyes and said, "Don't look at it!"
Qi Yuning said: "That's you and me, don't look at anything indecent!"
Lu Ze thought about Qi Yuning and Lu Ze in the mist. It was the two of them but not them. As a bystander, Lu Ze actually understood that the two of them had liked each other for a long time, but neither of them admitted it.
Qi Yuning looked at the scene obscured by the fog and said to Lu Ze with a smile: "He doesn't have as many tricks as you!"
"Ningning!" Lu Ze whispered in Qi Yuning's ear, "Stop looking."
After the mist cleared, Qi Yuning in Prince Qi's mansion had a blushing face. She looked at Lu Ze who had fallen asleep beside her and secretly kissed him on the cheek.
After becoming a real couple, Qi Yuning rarely angered Lu Ze, and her relationship with Lu Baozhu also improved by leaps and bounds.
Qi Yuning was now looking forward to a better life, until the news came that His Majesty was seriously ill and the Crown Prince took over the throne. The first thing the Crown Prince did after taking over the throne was to weaken the power of the Lu family. The Qin family was extremely powerful.
By the time Qi Yuning and Lu Ze realized something was wrong, it was too late. Except for Princess Pingrou and Madam Lu, the rest of the Lu family were thrown into jail because Lu Ze was framed by the Minister of the Dali Temple.
Princess Pingrou went to the palace many times to ask for an audience with Emperor Shiyuan but was refused. She also asked to see her younger brother, the Crown Prince, but he said it was an official matter.
Qi Yuning spent two days in prison and was then invited to the backyard of the Eastern Palace.
Qi Yuning thought that it was Song Heqing who pleaded for her and saved her, but she didn't expect that she was almost killed by the prince. Fortunately, she carried a dagger with her, and Song Heqing threatened to kill himself, so Qi Yuning was able to leave the East Palace safely.
After Qi Yuning left the Eastern Palace, he did not return to the prison. After sending a message to the secret guard, he went to Qin Feng's mansion.
Qi Yuning entered Qin Feng's house and saw a pregnant woman. "When did Minister Qin get married? Your lover looks like Lu Ze!"
Qin Feng protected Ah Ping and said, "What instructions do you have for me, Princess?"
Qi Yuning said: "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not just crazy, I need your help to find an opportunity to plan Lu Ze's fake death."
Qin Feng replied: "Okay."
Qi Yuning said, "I'm going to North City first, in case we need to raise an army. Please tell Lu Ze that I'm waiting for him in North City."
Qi Yuning took a deep look at the pregnant woman behind Qin Feng, and joked with Qin Feng, "Since you haven't married yet, some people say you have a preference for men. If you had told me earlier that you like Lu Ze, I would have never competed with you for him."
"My princess, you are joking. Ah Ping and Lu Ze don't look alike."
"A Ping? Her name is also A Ping!"
Qin Feng remembered something and said, "Her name is Ah Bing. The princess heard it wrong."
Qi Yuning didn't think about it anymore, but went to Xianglin Temple to pick up the little bald donkey. Lu Yun didn't expect that Qi Yuning would actually take him away with him. He also forgave Qi Yuning for having to eat coarse food for the past half year.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yun and said, "You are the only bloodline of the Lu family who is still outside. If Lu Ze and the others really cannot survive, you will still need to shoulder the responsibility of the Lu family."
When Qi Yuning and Lu Yun hurried all the way to Longzhou City, it was a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival. They happened to encounter a funeral in the family of the Longzhou Jiedushi. Qi Yuning went to pay tribute with Lu Yun and met his fourth aunt.
After Qi Yuning and Lu Yun helped Shen Nian restore her innocence, the entire Huang family died tragically, and only Shen Nian and her children survived.
When Qi Yuning wanted to hurry back to North City, Lu Yun hit his head on the door and instantly lost his memory. He was extremely scared of Qi Yuning and only remembered Shen Nian.
Qi Yuning was speechless, and after entrusting Lu Yun to Shen Nian, he went to North City alone.
Qi Yuning had been waiting for Lu Ze's arrival in North City for month after month. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she received news that the prince was a fake and that the Qin family had ill intentions.
Prince Lu and Minister Qin discovered the Crown Prince's fake identity, brought back the real princess, and rescued the seriously ill Majesty.
His Majesty appointed Lu Ze as the Minister of Dali Temple, and recognized Princess Zhen as her father and daughter. He gave Princess Zhen the name Zhao Shu, and gave Princess Zhen's son the title of Prince.
Another imperial decree came, summoning Qi Yu'an to return to Shengjing.
Qi Yuning followed Qi Yu'an back to Shengjing City. It was already September. On the day they arrived in Shengjing City, they heard rumors in the city.
"Husband and wife are birds of a feather. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. The Qi family army has always been kind and righteous. I didn't expect Qi Yuning to escape on his own."
"I heard that Princess Qi had previously taken refuge with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince has fallen, the Qi family's plan has failed."
Qi Yuning did not return to the palace first, but went to the princess's palace first. She had been away from Lu Ze for a long time and she had missed Lu Ze for a long time.
As soon as Qi Yuning entered the room, she saw that her things were no longer in the room. Everything had changed, except for the big bed that came with her dowry.
When Lu Ze came in and saw Qi Yuning, he said calmly, "You're back."
Qi Yuning's original joy disappeared immediately when she saw Lu Ze's calm eyes, "Well, long time no see."
Lu Ze said slowly: "It's been a long time."
Qi Yuning: "What's going on with the new princess?"
Lu Ze replied, "Qin Yuli wanted to force me to marry her, but I didn't want to, so she wanted to be the Crown Princess. The Qin family, who always doted on her, didn't let her be the Crown Princess, so I felt something was wrong. After I told Qin Feng about this, one of his good friends told him the truth. It turned out that the Crown Prince was a fake."
Qi Yuning whispered: "I see, then you must have been in great danger during this period, right?"
Lu Ze looked into Qi Yuning's eyes and said, "What happened when you went to the East Palace that day? What did Zhao Chong do to you..."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You ask this because you think I made some kind of deal with Zhao Chong so that I could escape from prison? Or do you think I am so unfaithful that I could have an affair with my husband's uncle?"
Lu Ze said: "I didn't say that!"
Qi Yuning raised her hand and smashed a water cup on Lu Ze's head. "That's what you think. If you don't trust me so much, just get a divorce."
Qi Yuning returned to the palace angrily without waiting for Lu Ze's answer.
Qi Yu'an, who had just returned from the palace, was drinking in the courtyard. Qi Yuning saw Qi Yu'an drunk all day and felt distressed. "Brother, don't drink anymore. If the spirit of Ah Ping knew that you were so sad, she and the baby in her belly would probably be in trouble."
Qi Yu'an said: "Your Majesty wanted to marry Princess Zhao Shu to me, but I refused. I only love her in my life."
Seeing Qi Yu'an drunk, Qi Yuning sighed and said, "Alas, this is disobeying the imperial order. I heard that His Majesty and the Queen are very fond of this lost and found daughter."
Qi Yu'an said: "I only want A Ping, A Ping..."
Qi Yu'an, drunkenly, saw the visitor and stepped forward to touch the visitor's eyebrows and eyes, "A Ping."
Lu Ze frowned and looked at Qi Yu'an, then helped Qi Yu'an aside and said, "Brother, you are drunk."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and asked, "What are you doing at my house? Are you here to give me the divorce papers?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Where's Lu Yun? I heard that you took Lu Yun with you when you left."
"He's crazy!"
"Qi Yuning!" Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning angrily. "Even if Lu Yun has done a thousand things wrong to you, he has received retribution. No matter how distressed mother was, she let you make Lu Yun eat coarse food for the past six months. How could you take advantage of the Lu family's crisis to attack Lu Yun?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Yes, Lu Yun owed me, so I drove him crazy on purpose!"
"Where are the others?" Lu Ze asked Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "No comment."
"Qi Yuning!"
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "Who dares to bully my sister in front of me?"
Lu Ze ignored the drunk Qi Yu'an, took Qi Yuning's hand and walked into Qi Yuning's boudoir and asked, "Tell me where Yun'er is."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I won't tell you. He went crazy and died. He deserved it."
Qi Yuning was filled with resentment. Lu Ze shouldn't have misunderstood her about the Eastern Palace matter, and he actually misunderstood her about Lu Yun as well. She was always so despicable in Lu Ze's eyes.
Lu Ze pushed Qi Yuning against the door frame and bit her red lips hard. Qi Yuning bit back not to be outdone.
