Chapter 273 I finally found something more meaningful

Lu Xinlan was still sorting out and digesting the murder case five years ago that she had just mentioned.

When she came to her senses, she realized that the other person was looking at her intently, and she shook her head in amusement.

"When I was at the border, I asked General Qi and General Xie to help me find iron smelting masters. I have worked with those masters to research the method of steel smelting."

It's just that they all tacitly chose to keep these things secret.

After the empress came back, she didn't say a word to the emperor.

If it were before, Lu Xinlan would still hesitate whether to tell her.

She was afraid that her sieve-like inner thoughts would inadvertently reveal this matter and then let the suspicious emperor know.

But the girl in front of him finally 'awakened' herself, and she would never reveal these secrets, so there was no need for her to keep them secret any longer.

Lu Xinran opened his mouth in surprise, and after a while he suddenly felt a little frustrated.

"How do you know everything?"

This makes her look so useless. Why didn't she think about learning more in her previous life... when she was lying on the hospital bed?

Lu Xinlan smiled and rubbed her furry hair: "Because I'm older than you, there will always be times when I'm bored and need to kill time."

There are also times when the case requires you to focus on understanding certain industries and knowledge, so knowing some odds and ends is not a big deal.

"Didn't you ask the King of Wei why he suspected the Second Prince, the King of Chu?"

"No, this... is easy to understand, right? The King of Chu had his eldest brother, who was the most favored by the Emperor, above him, and his third brother, who was able to compete with Song Junhe, below him. He was sandwiched in the middle, and no matter how he performed, the Emperor would not notice him.

"If he really has ambitions, he would not be willing to just watch the two of them fighting each other, so the arrival of the Nanzhao envoy and the Nanzhao princess is a perfect opportunity for him."

Five years ago, he was still a young man.

Judging from his age, he should be the prince with the greatest hope of marrying the Nanzhao princess.

And if the recipe passed through the hands of the Nanzhao princess' husband, the person who handled it would definitely have the opportunity to copy it down.

Lu Xinlan listened to her analysis with great satisfaction. In just one year, the once naive little girl had grown up rapidly, and her thoughts and actions had become more methodical.

"But I always feel that there should be some inside story. We need to load the information of those people and then slowly look for clues."

"Yes, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Don't worry too much."

If the recipe is in the hands of the King of Chu, there is probably very little he can do.

Lu Xinran shook her head and stood up ambitiously. "Sister, I finally found something more meaningful and found more uses for the system. I can't wait to verify it."

Verifying one's own existence actually has more meaning and value.

"If you need any help, please let me know."

Lu Xinlan also stood up with a smile. Infected by her vigorous energy and vitality, she also smiled with her eyes curved.

Song Junyan acted quickly and sent her a message within a few days, asking her to go to the teahouse in advance and wait for his news.

A distance of one hundred steps is an excellent arrangement.

Lu Xinran stayed in the private room of the teahouse, while he could use the name of treating guests to lead several royal brothers to a nearby wine house.

Zhang Shui'er held her head up and looked at Lu Xinran, who was pacing back and forth in the room and seemed absent-minded. She was a little confused and didn't understand why the other party asked her out.

"Has Cui Wu written to you recently?"

Speaking of Cui Shenglin, the confusion on Zhang Shuier's face instantly turned into melancholy.

"I have written it. He also knows about the bad things that happened in their house. He asked me if I wanted to cancel the engagement. If I mind the things that happened in his family before, he is willing to come back to Beijing in person to cancel the engagement with me. He will definitely not let me have a bad reputation."

The more he thought about her, the more her heart was tormented.

She knew that Cui Sheng was a good neighbor and would treat her very well after marriage, but she would have to face the entire Bo Mansion in the future.

She also wanted to become a member of the Bo's family, and when she went out, people would hide in the dark and point fingers at her.

She didn't know if she could bear it, so she was in great torment during this period.

Lu Xinran looked at her booklet and said, "He will probably be at the border for a long time in the future. If he's not in the northwest, he might go to other places. Have you ever thought about following his lead?"

"ah?"

Zhang Shui'er was a little confused. She had never thought about these things.

"But……"

"But what? Are you worried that the sandstorms at the border will be too strong and life will be too hard? Will you be unable to endure it?"

"No, no, it's nothing. I heard my grandmother and the old lady talk about Yuchengguan. They lived very well in Yuchengguan back then, so I can do the same."

As she said this, her mood suddenly became clear.

Yes, as long as she follows Cui Shenglin to the border, everything in the capital will have nothing to do with her, and when they return to the capital in the future, all those bad things will be forgotten.

"I understand. Thank you, Lu Er. You are my lucky star!"

Lu Xinran smiled and waved her hand. If she hadn't known about Lu Xinlan and the Queen's arrangements, she wouldn't have said anything more.

"girl."

There was a knock on the door from Tracy. She quickly walked to the door, opened it, and saw Tracy mouthing words silently.

She immediately understood what he meant, and mentally signaled the system to quickly load all the booklets of those people.

"Host, it's done."

There were five of us in total, all loaded, without a single mistake.

Lu Xinran sat back at the table with satisfaction, and subconsciously wanted to open the Second Prince's booklet. Then she remembered that they were on the street, and hurriedly reminded the system to remember to remind her.

"The Mastermind hasn't replied to you yet. Didn't you explain why my eating melons would be heard by others?"

"Not yet, not yet. Don't worry, I'm also checking the procedures."

The system hummed a few times nervously. This was a serious programming problem. It... it had a flaw!

Lu Xinran listened to the whimpering sounds coming from his head and suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Why does this guy always like to add drama to himself!

She sat there with her head down and said nothing. Zhang Shui'er was already used to this. She picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, then picked up some snacks and ate half a plate.

When Lu Xinran came to her senses, she pushed the plate in front of her forward.

"This shop's snacks are the best. Would you like to take some home later?"

Lu Xinran nodded. This was the first time she clearly realized that something was wrong with the people around her.

It turns out that everyone has really gotten used to this.

After parting with Zhang Shui'er in front of the teahouse, the carriage headed straight to Prince Wei's Palace.

As more and more people came, the servants in the mansion had already started to get used to it.

The eunuch in charge led her directly to the study, and served tea, snacks and fruits as instructed by his master, and then went to the courtyard to wait.

Lu Xinran couldn't wait to open the booklet of the King of Chu. When Song Junyan came back, she had already carefully read through all the booklets of several people.
