Chapter 68 What awaits her is the separation of life and death
Lu Wanning was dragged inside. When she passed by Song Yu, she didn't forget to ask, "Is General Song's injury healed?"
Song Yu nodded and smiled at her, "The medicine given by the Crown Princess is very effective. Not only has the wound healed completely, but the scar is also very shallow."
Qi Qingyao muttered, "What's so scary about a grown man having a few scars?"
Pulling Lu Wanning to sit at the table, Qi Qingyao held her face in her hands and asked her many questions about what had happened outside the palace in recent days, and also asked her about some things in Zhen'an.
After hearing what she said, her eyes sparkled, but soon she felt a little guilty and whispered, "Actually, Luo Li came to see me two days ago."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Wanning cautiously. Seeing that she didn't show any reaction, she continued, "She likes Chen Wenjian and wants me to help her speak to the emperor, hoping that he can help her marry Chen Wenjian."
"Arranged marriage?" Lu Wanning pursed her lips.
Could it be that Chen Wenjian has already taken some action?
Otherwise, in their previous life, the relationship between these two people was only confirmed after Chen Wenjian passed the exam.
Before this, most of the meetings between the two were kept secret from Prime Minister Luo.
After all, Luo Li has been carefully cultivated by her family since she was a child. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was taught according to the standards of a prince's consort. How could Prime Minister Luo be willing to let her marry the son of a businessman?
Although Prime Minister Luo was ultimately unable to prevail over his daughter in his previous life, this life is different.
The Chen family has been in some turmoil recently. First, at the old lady's birthday party, Chen Wenjian and his cousin lay on the same couch in an extremely indecent manner. Later, Madam Chen became insane, and then rumors spread that she had killed her concubine.
The rumor hadn't even died down yet, when Mr. Chen suddenly divorced his wife.
This naturally became a topic of conversation in Beijing.
It is impossible that all these things have no impact on Chen Wenjian.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy behaved decently in his daily life and most of his friends trusted him, Chen Wenjian would have a hard time surviving in Beijing.
Right now, he is anxious to grab Luo Li as a straw to quickly climb up, which is not impossible.
Once this woman is blinded by love, she will not care about anything.
Luo Li actually came to Qi Qingyao for help. She really has no brains at all.
Even if Qi Qingyao really told the emperor about this matter, he would not grant the marriage if Prime Minister Luo did not take any action.
If the marriage is granted so casually, it will cause chaos.
Lu Wanning propped up her chin and nodded, "Have you told His Majesty?"
"I did," Qi Qingyao said somewhat dejectedly. "Father was groggy the past few days and rarely woke up. I wasn't in the mood to talk to him about these things. But yesterday, Father felt much better and was even able to walk out of bed today. I mentioned it to him when I went to see him this morning."
"What does your Majesty say?"
"Father only said that he understood and told me not to get involved in these matters."
It was exactly as she thought. Prime Minister Luo would soon know that Luo Li came to the palace to ask for a marriage. Once he found out, he would be furious.
In order to prevent any further complications, Luo Li's marriage should be arranged as soon as possible.
But she always felt that Luo Li would not let it go just like that.
Lu Wanning seemed to see another Mrs. Chen.
However, elopement is not a possibility. Luo Li probably has plenty of ways to get her family to agree to the marriage.
Qi Muchao came back quickly, talked to Song Yu outside for a few words, and then walked in.
Qi Qingyao looked at him eagerly, "Has the Queen Mother agreed to let me go?"
"Even if she doesn't agree, won't you sneak out then?"
"That's different," Qi Qingyao pouted. "If I sneak out, I'll definitely be scolded when I come back. But if Mother agrees, I can have more fun and don't have to worry about being punished by Mother when I come back."
She is not the type to be afraid of being punished.
Her face is as thick as a city wall. She has been scolded and criticized many times over the years, but she has never stopped sneaking out of the palace.
On the day of the Zhen'an Temple Fair, Qi Qingyao arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion early in the morning.
Lu Wanning packed up and planned to call Sang Mingyue.
She has been busy in Huichun Hall these two days. Lu Wanning gave her the box of silver ingots that the Yan family gave her last time.
It was barely enough to be the start-up capital for her shop. If it was not enough, she could just ask Hu Yan for some money.
As for what kind of shop she wants to open, that is her own business and Lu Wanning doesn't intend to interfere.
But this person is very busy on weekdays, and his mind is always tense, so he needs to relax occasionally.
When Lu Wanning arrived at Sang Mingyue's room, she had already packed up and was planning to go to Huichun Hall.
Sang Zhiyu was sitting obediently at the table eating pastries.
When he saw her coming, he sweetly called her "Sister Lu".
Lu Wanning smiled and patted his head, then said, "There's a temple fair in Zhen'an today. Do you want to go shopping with Sister Lu?"
Sang Zhiyu immediately looked at Sang Mingyue.
But Sang Mingyue shook her head. "Forget it. Xiaoyu and I have already caused a lot of trouble for Prince Qi's Mansion here. It's better if we don't go out. If we go out and get recognized, it will definitely cause trouble."
Lu Wanning was helpless. "Are you planning to let Xiaoyu hide like this forever? Even if he doesn't go out now, what about later? He doesn't need companions or friends?"
Sang Mingyue lowered her eyes and said, "Once things are resolved, everything will be fine."
But the days are still long, and a child’s day is different from an adult’s day.
Lu Wanning heard from Hongling two days ago that Sang Zhiyu stared out the window in a daze every day, and he could stare at the little sparrow on the tree branch for a whole day.
She raised her chin in the direction of Sang Zhiyu, motioning Sang Mingyue to look over there. "Do you think he doesn't want to go?"
Pained by her brother's cautious yet eager gaze, Sang Mingyue finally gave in and patted his head. "Do you want to go?"
Sang Zhiyu shook her head. "It's okay for me to stay at home."
With a lump in his throat, Sang Mingyue made a few strokes of his disguise tool on Sang Zhiyu's face and nodded, "Then let's go out and have some fun with the Crown Prince's Consort today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Zhiyu's eyes seemed to light up like two small lanterns.
Qi Qingyao was a little curious about the two siblings. Lu Wanning said that they were her friends from Zhen'an. They came to the capital for some things, so they stayed at her place.
Qi Qingyao had no doubt about it.
As the carriage drove towards Zhen'an, Lu Wanning looked out the window with a dazed look in her eyes.
The temple fair was as prosperous as in previous years. To be honest, she hadn't been there for a few years.
When I was a child, I loved going to temple fairs with my mother, running around in the crowds, holding onto her skirt.
Later, she was busy studying medicine with her master and had not been with her mother for two years. When she was free and planned to spend some time with her mother, what greeted her was the separation of life and death.
