Chapter 144 There will be no stars on cloudy days again
After returning, Lou did not go to find Zuo Shanzhang immediately, but first told Zuo Sixian about her plan.
"Poisoned Jiang Yinyue at the Queen's flower-viewing banquet?" Zuo Sixian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"There's nothing we can do. Jiang Yinyue is too cautious now. If it weren't for this kind of occasion, Qian would have no chance at all." Lou was also a little helpless.
Zuo Sixian didn't say anything. He was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. After the incident, would the Lou family and the Prime Minister's Mansion be implicated?
He understood that if Qian poisoned Jiang Yinyue at the flower-viewing banquet, then the fact that the Prime Minister's Mansion had found the wrong child would definitely be exposed. Qian and Li Changan would definitely not survive, but Li Suining would definitely have to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As for his biological mother, Lou... she will definitely be implicated if the matter is truly investigated. However, Jiang Yinyue is already dead, and Lou is the wife of the Prime Minister. His father will definitely not sit idly by. Therefore, at worst, Lou will sit on the bench in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, but her status as the wife will not change, and he... will also become the real eldest son.
Zuo Sixian quickly made a decision. "Mom, you're right. This might be the only chance. Although it's a bit risky, I think it's worth a try."
Mrs. Lou hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Before leaving, she patted her eldest son's arm.
"Sixian, you have to understand that everything Mom does is for you two brothers. If Mom has an accident, you, as her brother, have to take good care of Jiali."
She was able to climb onto Zuo Shanzhang's bed and sit in her current position. She is not stupid and it is impossible for her not to know the consequences of poisoning someone in the palace.
But for her two sons, she was willing to take the risk.
What's more... she should actually be grateful that Jiang Yinyue didn't agree just now. After all, if Zuo Shanzhang had agreed to let her follow him into the palace, then at that time, Zuo Shanzhang would not have let her get involved in order to protect himself.
She immediately went to Zuo Shanzhang's study and told him her thoughts.
"Going to the flower viewing banquet?" Zuo Shanzhang frowned impatiently. "Aren't there flowers in the mansion if you want to see them? If not, let Sixian and Jiali take you to see flowers outside the city."
"Prime Minister!" She had tears in her eyes, looking pitiful. "Prime Minister, don't you consider Huanhuan at all? Or... are you really planning to reconcile with Madam?"
"Me and her? Reconciling?" Zuo Shanzhang was so angry that he almost laughed. "What nonsense!"
After what happened with Jiang Heci, he, the Jiang family, and Jiang Yinyue were destined to be mortal enemies.
"But you're clearly favoring the Madam now. She's taken back the Madam's Courtyard and can now enter the palace. She's so proud of herself." Lou burst into tears. "As for me, I really can't hold my head up in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zuo Shanzhang frowned. He didn't care what would happen to the Lou family, but he would be unhappy if Jiang Yinyue became too arrogant.
He actually knew about the flower viewing banquet a long time ago, but he never paid much attention to it. But now that he thinks about it... he narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Prime Minister, please let me go with you." Lou hugged Zuo Shanzhang's arm and started to act coquettishly, "Okay, okay?"
"Okay!" Zuo Shanzhang quickly made up his mind and sneered, "It seems that God wants to destroy the Jiang family."
Lou frowned in confusion. "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this? Have you come up with another good way to deal with the Jiang family?"
Zuo Shanzhang pinched Lou's nose lovingly and said, "That's all thanks to you, my little beauty."
"The Prime Minister is so annoying!" Lou knew that it was almost certain that she would attend the flower-viewing banquet, and she became even happier.
Zuo Shanzhang turned and walked to a cabinet. He opened the door, took out a package and handed it to Lou. "Keep this. You will definitely need it tomorrow."
"What is this?" Lou chuckled. "Isn't it some kind of poison?"
Zuo Shanzhang did not answer immediately. He felt that there seemed to be eavesdroppers in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He waved to Lou Shi, and when he saw Lou Shi leaning over to his ear, he whispered something.
Lou's expression changed from a confused frown at first, to her eyes gradually widening, and finally, her excitement was beyond words.
"Prime Minister, this..." She was so happy that she couldn't speak, "This is really God helping us."
"Go!" Zuo Shanzhang was in a good mood.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Huanhuan will never let you down." Lou left happily. The flower viewing banquet was destined to be the day of Jiang Yinyue's death. Whether it was Qian's poison or Zuo Shanzhang's poison, it would take her life.
Soon, Jiang Yinyue got the news that Zuo Shanzhang sent someone to tell Lou to go with him to the flower viewing banquet.
She immediately asked Qingyun to tell Xiao Wu.
After dark, Li Suining sat on the steps in front of the door, supporting his chin with his little hands, staring at the sky, a small ball, and his back seemed a little sad.
She didn't know why, but after learning today that Zuo Shanzhang agreed to let Lou go to the flower viewing banquet, she felt a little uneasy.
"Miss Qi, are you waiting for the stars?" After Qingyun came back, he sat next to Xiaotuanzi. He didn't know that Li Suining could predict the future by looking at the stars, but he noticed that the little guy seemed to look at the stars every night.
Little Dumpling nodded, but the sky was already completely dark and not a single star came out.
"Miss Seven, it's cloudy tonight, and I'm afraid there won't be any stars out." Qingyun said with some regret.
"No." Little Dumpling's face immediately wrinkled into a small bun. She had to ask Xingxing again to confirm all the circumstances for tomorrow, otherwise, she would be really scared.
Qingyun frowned and said helplessly, "Miss Qi, it is indeed cloudy tonight. There will be no stars."
Little Dumpling is about to cry. What should he do? What if something unexpected happens tomorrow? What if something happens to his beautiful mother?
At this time, Jiang Yinyue also came out, "Aning, do you want to rest early? We may have to get up early tomorrow."
"Mom!" Little Tuanzi stood up, ran over with his short legs, and hugged Jiang Yinyue's legs, "Mom, I'm scared!"
Jiang Yinyue sighed softly. These days, she has been deeply aware that her Aning is a very smart baby. However, no matter how smart she is, she is only four years old. Facing the situation tomorrow that even adults would be afraid of, how could Aning not be afraid?
"Aning, be good. If you are scared, please go back to the general's mansion tomorrow, okay?" Jiang Yinyue said tentatively.
Now that things have come to this, it is impossible for her to give up. All she can do now is to protect Li Suining as much as possible and keep Li Suining away from this matter.
"No, I don't want to leave." How could Li Suining leave? She hugged Jiang Yinyue even harder, "I want to protect my mother. I want to be with my mother."
"Be good!" Jiang Yinyue was slightly moved. Over the years, she really owed this child too much.
Little Dumpling let go of her beautiful mother and looked back at the dark night sky again. No matter what happens tomorrow, she must protect her mother!
