Chapter 183 These people are garbage!
This question was so sudden that the queen was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Mother, this... that girl has many prejudices against the Fourth Brother. If I really introduce her to the Fourth Brother..."
She would definitely think that they were repaying kindness with enmity, and would keep complaining about them in her heart.
Besides, that girl looked very lively and had more ideas in her mind than anyone else.
If she were really allowed to marry the fourth brother, she might... run away from the marriage.
When the Queen Mother thought of Lu Xinran's chaotic thoughts, she suddenly felt a subtle embarrassment in her heart.
She just thought that the girl was good in every way and was a good match for the Fourth Brother, forgetting that the Fourth Brother had such a messy image in her mind.
If that girl knew that she wanted to bring her together with the fourth brother... she couldn't imagine what she would hear in her heart.
Thinking of the girl's outspoken words, the two looked at each other and felt a little scared.
Outside the palace, the emperor, who was separated from the two of them by a curtain, overheard their entire conversation.
The queen thought it was inappropriate, but he arranged it so perfectly!
If he wanted to raise pigs, he naturally had to arrange wives with real power for the princes.
As expected, his successor is among these adult princes. The eldest has been deposed, and there are five of them left.
He wanted to see if the fourth brother, who had never been competitive, would show any ambition to seize the throne if he had a Shangshu to support him.
Eunuch Fu stood behind him. Seeing that he just stood in front of the door and did not allow anyone to pass or enter, the strange feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.
The master has become more and more strange in the past six months and is less and less like the master he used to be.
Back in the Wenhua Palace, the emperor held the memorial in his hand and was thinking about which of his sons could go to the prayer ceremony on his behalf this year.
Originally, he wanted his third son to go on his behalf during the winter solstice ceremony, but after being dissuaded by court officials, he went in person.
The court officials should not have any objections to the prayer ceremony in the first month of the lunar year being allowed to the prince this time.
Should the third child go or the fourth child go?
When he began to hesitate, he already had the answer in his heart.
Didn't the fourth brother have this idea? Then he can be a whetstone for the brothers.
Thinking of this, the emperor was in a good mood and opened the memorial. Seeing the one that impeached An Hongsheng, he marked it with a red pen and told them to get this kind of person out of the capital along with the Qiu family.
Lu Xinran has been waiting for news from Shuntian Prefecture these days. The dismemberment case had such a terrible impact, and her involvement in it played a significant role. Once the case is closed, her health will surely soar.
"Tongzi, when my health points are sufficient, can you use them to make me a golden bell iron cloth shirt?"
She still remembered what the system said the last time something happened.
It can transform her health into a protective shield to keep her safe.
The system hummed for a while before reluctantly saying, "Of course you can, but activating it once will consume at least one year of your life value. Once you use it, it's gone! Don't waste it unless it's absolutely necessary!"
"Do you need so much?"
Lu Xinran was shocked. Although she couldn't remember whether she had lived for a full year when the accident happened, her life value was very low at that time.
She had worked hard for nearly half a year to save up more than three years' worth of money. Wouldn't it all be burned if she opened a turtle shell?!
"Well, it's not always this much. This is the first time I use it and I need to activate it. After that, one or two months of life will be enough."
That's more like it!
At least one year at a time, it would be better to let the universe break into little stars.
Sensing her thoughts, the system was a little dissatisfied, but it still shrank back obediently.
Anyway, it is up to it to judge the specific situation, and it will act like Grandet unless it has no other choice.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the case to be closed, but she didn't receive any news of Sun Qihang's sentencing until the 26th day of the 11th lunar month when the emperor put down his pen and all officials began to prepare for the New Year at home.
She asked Cuizhu to go to the streets to inquire, and what she heard was that the Sun family had been secretly destroying evidence, making it impossible for Song Junyan to close the case before the New Year.
How can the Sun family be so bold and presumptuous? Do they really think there is no etiquette in this world?
"Sister, do you think the things the Sun family did won't reach the emperor's ears?"
Why is Song Junyan so useless? As a prince and the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, how can he allow the Sun family to jump over his head?
"There are countless things happening in this world every day. If the emperor had to decide on every single one of them, he wouldn't be able to handle them all even if he had three heads and six arms."
Moreover, these things may not necessarily be done by Sun's family. Maybe someone is using the name of Sun's family to prevent him from closing the case quickly.
As Lu Xinran listened to her analysis, her beautiful brows were about to be knotted.
"What good does this do to those people?"
"There may not be any direct benefit, but if a case that is already extremely clear cannot be closed, how will the Fourth Prince's ability be viewed by the Emperor and his courtiers?"
“It’s going to be bad.”
Lu Xinran added subconsciously, and instantly understood everything.
These people... are garbage!!!
Anyone who prevents her from gaining health points is not a good person!
The seizure of inheritance is truly everywhere.
"Sister," she pursed her lips, stole a few glances at the other party, and then smiled and whispered: "What do you say? We should help the Fourth Prince? It's not fair to the victims that this case has been dragged on for so long, don't you think?"
Lu Xinlan smiled at her cautious look and wanted to tease her, but when he thought of the system in her body, he gave up the joking intention.
"Okay, let's find a way to help the Fourth Prince close the case after the new year, and we'll also help to bring justice."
"Yes, justice!"
This is a good explanation!
Lu Xinran laughed and felt that they could use these four words as a cover when they went to help again in the future.
"You must stay with me and my grandmother at the New Year's Eve party. Don't walk around alone."
"Don't worry, I understand!"
She would never go to a deserted place. It would be the New Year's Eve party, and all the court officials and their families would enter the palace. How could she give up such a great opportunity to enjoy the party!
Lu Xinlan was still a little worried when listening to her thoughts. What does this girl know?
Her sieve-like voice had aroused countless hatred, and there were countless people in the capital who wanted to kill her.
New Year’s Eve, in Zhaoyun Courtyard.
Pei's room was as lively as usual.
Lu Jinchuan stood outside the yard with his two sons, listening to the faint laughter coming from the room. He suddenly felt that the trivial things that he had taken lightly before now seemed extremely rare.
"Father, why didn't my fourth brother come back this year?"
Lu Kangde, who had never known why the two concubines fell out of favor, spoke words that stabbed into Lu Jinchuan's heart.
Lu Jinchuan lowered his brows and tilted his head to glance at his eldest son indifferently. He didn't know whether he was asking the question unintentionally because he didn't know the inside story, or if he was deliberately trying to embarrass him.
He replied coldly: "It's cold and the road is long, so I won't go back."
That bastard who was brought here from somewhere, don’t even think about returning to the capital city in this lifetime!
