Chapter 280: Not a big confusing melon
It was already late, and Lu Xinran had already prepared to stay overnight at the palace.
But they haven't gotten married yet. If people find out that she's staying overnight in the palace, it will have a significant impact on her reputation and that of Song Junyan.
Although she doesn't care about what others think, it doesn't mean she is willing to become the topic of conversation after dinner.
Therefore, it would be best if the truth could be uncovered as soon as possible.
She found a comfortable position, supported her head with one hand, and entered the system with her consciousness to open the emperor's booklet.
With the help of the system, she was able to directly turn back to five years ago.
[The emperor did have a hand in what happened back then. No, I want to read Hua Fei's booklet again.]
From the moment she started eating the melon, her thoughts automatically jumped into Song Junyan's ears.
He followed Lu Xinran's example and found a comfortable position for himself on the couch by the window. He leaned against the wall with his long legs curled up and placed on the couch.
His arms fell naturally at his sides, he lowered his eyes and silently waited for the result from Lu Xinran.
[Hua Fei had been fighting with Shu Fei all her life. She knew that Song Jun He was the emperor's favorite because he was the eldest son. She knew that she couldn't make Song Jun Hua win by ordinary means, so she focused her attention on the Princess of Nanzhao.]
[She originally wanted Song Junhua to marry the Princess of Nanzhao, but the Princess of Nanzhao never liked him.]
[Hey, who does the Nanzhao princess like? ]
Lu Xinran was a little confused when she saw the people here. She had carefully read the pamphlets of Song Junsheng and Song Junhua before and confirmed that both of them had tried hard to win the Princess of Nanzhao.
But the attitude shown by the Princess of Nanzhao was very distant from both of them.
If it's not them, it can't be Song Junhe who has already been sent away, right?
Song Jun Hyuk was already married at that time?!
She was confused, and Song Junyan's curiosity was also aroused by her.
[No, I have to look at Lan Jieyu's brochure again.]
She always felt that this Concubine Lan was not as simple as she looked. If she really didn't have some tricks, she wouldn't be able to successfully raise Song Junsheng with her cannibalistic harem.
【so it is!】
[I was wondering why it looked so weird, and it turns out everyone stepped on it. ]
[Lan Jieyu's nephew looked very similar to her. Princess Nanzhao ran into him on the street and fell in love with him almost at first sight.]
[However, the Qu family was not prominent in the capital, and Concubine Lan was just an ordinary concubine in the palace. Her rank and degree of favor were far inferior to those of Concubine Hua and Concubine Shu.]
[But the Princess of Nanzhao was like a possessed person and would not marry anyone but Qu Xinyuan, so she took the initiative to ask Concubine Lan for help, willing to exchange the formula for her.]
[There is no reason for Concubine Lan to refuse the benefits that are offered to her, and she also doesn't want to see Concubine Hua and Song Junhua gain power. ]
[It's just that this matter involves too many complicated things. Although she wants to fight for Song Junsheng, she can see through the emperor's mind better than Concubine Hua and others. ]
[Knowing that the emperor was suspicious and would not tolerate the prince becoming too powerful, and would not tolerate the Nanzhao princess not liking him or his sons, she could not come up with a feasible solution for the time being, no matter how tempting this matter was.]
[The Princess of Nanzhao fell in love with Qu Xinyuan at first sight and had secret meetings with him every day. She was unwilling to pay any attention to the princes. After a long time, even the emperor discovered the clues.]
[After the emperor realized what Princess Nanzhao was thinking, he went directly to Concubine Lan's palace.]
[Qu Xinyuan met the Nanzhao princess by chance on the street. Lan Jieyu discovered at the palace banquet that the Nanzhao princess liked handsome and elegant men, so she deliberately arranged for her nephew to meet her.]
[She could hide this little trick from others, but not from the emperor.]
[The emperor reprimanded her and told her to either persuade the Princess of Nanzhao to enter the palace, or he would execute Qu Xinyuan...]
Lu Xinran An old man on the subway is looking at his phone. What a mess.
The emperor and the concubines around him really exceeded her expectations time and time again.
After the Great Chu fell into his hands, he had not yet destroyed it to the point of being in tatters... How rich must his family fortune have been originally!
She speechlessly changed her hand to support her head and continued to work hard.
[Lan Jieyu knew that her plot had failed, so she could only send the message out of the palace overnight, but the message happened to be intercepted by Hua Fei's men.]
[Hua Fei took advantage of the situation and sent false news to Princess Nanzhao and Qu Xinyuan, and also tried to make the emperor think that they were going to elope at night. The emperor was furious, and in the chaos, Princess Nanzhao was killed by the long sword.]
[As for Qu Xinyuan... he never thought of marrying the Princess of Nanzhao, nor did he have any romantic feelings for her, so he did not show up that night.]
[Later, the other courtyard experienced an unexpected change, and the plot seemed confusing. The Nanzhao envoy launched an attack, and the Ministry of Justice, Shuntian Prefecture, and Dali Temple jointly investigated and handled the case, but he escaped. ]
[He took advantage of the fact that the case had not yet been closed and the Nanzhao people had not yet left the capital, and fled south overnight to avoid the limelight. He returned to the capital two years ago and got married in a low-key manner last year.]
【As for the recipe...】
Lu Xinran frowned. She didn't see any recipe in the booklets they gave her.
Perhaps just as the queen said, the recipe never appeared from the beginning to the end.
That was just a cover, a bargaining chip used by the Nanzhao envoys and the Nanzhao princess to negotiate terms with the emperor.
It's not a very confusing story, but it involves the deceased Concubine Hua, which adds a little difficulty.
"To be honest, he died under the calculations of various parties. Perhaps it was the work of the emperor, the concubine Hua, and the envoy of Nanzhao."
Since I didn't bring the recipe with me, it would be hard to explain if the marriage really happened.
Song Junyan opened his curtains, turned his head slightly and nodded slightly at her.
"As long as the formula doesn't fall into the hands of others and become a hidden danger, it's fine."
He had thought of the events of five years ago because he was afraid that the Great Chu would really be faced with internal and external troubles.
He straightened his bent legs, twisted his body, and stood up from the couch.
"It's getting late. I'll take you home first. If there's anything else you want to see, I'll have Ding San pick you up tomorrow morning."
It was getting dark. If I didn't leave, I would be criticized.
Lu Xinran's thoughts were still immersed in what he had just seen. When he heard him say this, he nodded subconsciously.
There are less than three months left. Well, time flies.
When they get married and she moves in, she won't have to go through so much trouble to eat melons in the future.
"Okay, you'd better go early tomorrow. The emperor's booklet can only be kept for one day. Time is running out."
Song Junyan raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he was confused, he was smart enough not to ask any more questions. He just raised his hand to point in the direction of the door and walked out of the room.
