Chapter 308 I was sleepy and someone gave me a pillow

Lu Xinran always has the illusion that the more he explores the past, the thicker the fog in front of him becomes.

Whether the emperor is the empress dowager's biological son or not...what does it have to do with her?!

She should just eat and drink every day, then lie down and rot, and be a happy spectator.

She raised her hand and wiped her face. "Tell me, if other people knew about this, what would happen if it was exposed?"

Song Junyan shook his head. He felt a little confused at this moment and didn't know how the situation would develop next.

"Go to sleep first. These things...are not urgent."

Too many years have passed. If there were no system, even if Eunuch Fu knew about this, he probably wouldn't reveal it.

Both of them slept uneasily because they had things on their minds. When Lu Xinran woke up with a headache around noon, Song Junyan had already stood up and left the inner room.

Too many things happened that day and night, making it impossible for him to be sweet with her in the room.

Song Junze's self-righteousness from the previous day had already reached Song Junhua's ears through word of mouth.

Song Junhua was furious and sent people to Jiangnan overnight, vowing to dig out all of Song Junze's industries in Jiangnan.

In the capital, he would not let Song Junze go either, and asked some officials who had already surrendered to him to submit reports of his crimes, demanding that Song Junze be skinned alive no matter what.

There was constant bustle in the court, and Song Junyan continued to take his "marriage leave" in his mansion. He did not accept any invitations from anyone, whether it was to visit other people's mansions or to invite people to the Prince of Wei's mansion, he ignored them all.

Although the chaos in the court was caused by Lu Xin, the subsequent developments were driven by many people, and the matter no longer had much to do with them.

Naturally, they would avoid touching this muddy water if possible.

Although he never leaves the house, he is still well-informed about Lu Xinran's news.

Song Junyan gave Ding Si and a team of secret guards to her, telling her to send them out to gather information no matter what.

As soon as Lu Xinran received the people, he asked Ding Si to go and watch the excitement of the two princes.

The emperor had never had much affection for his son Song Junze, and after discovering that he had behaved in such a disgraceful manner, he became even less friendly to him.

Song Junze knelt outside the Wenhua Palace, trying to use a self-torture tactic to win the emperor's favor.

But the emperor was a heartless man. The more he behaved like this, the more annoyed he became, so he ordered people to drive him out of the palace.

The emperor's actions made Song Junhua's methods more obvious, and he eliminated almost all the people that Song Junze had managed in the court in the past two years.

If it weren't for the fact that he was about to stop writing at the end of the year, he would have gone even further.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the emperor left the palace to offer sacrifices to heaven.

A family banquet was held in the imperial palace at night, gathering together all the princes, their families, and concubines in the harem.

Lu Xinran was originally thinking about how to find an opportunity to download the booklet of Lan Jieyu and Song Junze's biological mother, and this family banquet was the perfect opportunity for him to fulfill his wish.

Naturally, she would not miss out on Eunuch Fu's booklet.

This year, the emperor did not select anyone from among the princes to offer sacrifices to heaven. Instead, he went to the altar two days in advance to burn incense, bathe, eat fast and worship Buddha.

It was not until the ceremony ended in the afternoon that the imperial carriage was carried back to the palace.

When the emperor returned to the palace, all the princes and their families were already waiting in the palace.

After lunch, Lu Xinran and Song Junyan changed their clothes and rushed to the palace. The emperor was not there, so Song Junyan and several princes waited in the square outside the Fengtian Hall.

Lu Xinran went straight to Changchun Palace and Yongshou Palace to pay his respects to the Empress and the Empress Dowager.

When she arrived at Changchun Palace, the Princess of Chu and the Princess of Jin had already arrived. Although the fifth prince, Prince Xiang, had not yet married, his marriage had already been decided and his fiancée was also in Changchun Palace at this time.

Everyone arrived early, which made it seem like Lu Xinran was delayed.

"I was just talking about you, and here you are."

As soon as the queen saw her come in, she waved to her. Lu Xinran hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with a smile, and nodded slightly to the two princesses and her future sister-in-law.

The Princess of Chu and the Princess of Jin felt a little nervous when they saw her come in, fearing that she would use them as a sacrifice if she was in a bad mood or too good a mood.

Princess Chu turned her eyes away calmly and did not look at anyone. However, Princess Jin, Han Jingyun, had been acting very complicated since Lu Xinran entered the room.

Lu Xinran pretended not to notice her complicated gaze. His eyes moved around the hall and quickly locked onto Song Junze's biological mother, Pang Guiren.

If she were outside the palace, her beauty would naturally be praised as extraordinary. However, in the imperial palace where there was no shortage of beauties, her appearance would only make an old scum like the emperor dislike her.

The fact that she was still just a noblewoman for so many years after giving birth to a prince shows what kind of position she holds in the emperor's heart.

The Queen followed her gaze calmly and glanced at Pang Guiren. During the time when Song Junze was in trouble, Pang Guiren was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He came to her for help several times, but she sent him away every time.

I don't know whether those methods that cannot be shown on the public stage were discussed by Song Junze and his staff, or were the idea given by Pang Guiren.

After loading the booklets of Pang Guiren and Lan Jieyu, Lu Xinran looked up and saw the amusement in the Queen's eyes.

She looked at the other person blankly, thinking that she was still ignorant.

When the Queen Mother learned that she had entered the palace, she was eagerly looking forward to her coming to pay her respects.

She called a few concubines to her palace today. She has been fighting with these old guys for most of her life. Now that she has the chance, she wants to get everything clear.

Several concubines sat trembling by the window. Although they didn't know what was waiting for them next, when they thought of the previous concubines who had come to Yongshou Palace, they began to have bad luck one after another and all of them turned pale with fear.

When Lu Xinran and Princess Chu saw this scene as soon as they entered the room, she wanted to hold her forehead.

The Queen Mother really doesn't treat her with any formality.

The previous emperor’s concubines…there shouldn’t be many left, right?

If the Queen Mother continues to pester him like this, there won't be enough concubines left to play mahjong.

Restraining herself from making any complaints, she smiled and walked forward to greet the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother smiled and motioned for her to sit next to her: "Come, come and sit. You probably haven't seen these concubines before."

She said this, but her eyes were on Lu Xinran.

Lu Xinran immediately understood that she had to eat the melons today even if she didn't want to, and she had to make the Queen Mother happy.

Thinking of this, she immediately smiled and bowed to the concubines. "My grandson's wife doesn't come to the palace often, and she hasn't stayed in the capital for a long time. If I'm disrespectful, please don't blame me, the Empress Dowager and the concubines."

The Queen Mother laughed and said no, but her hands were already making gestures like one of the concubines.

"When I was young, I had the most fights with her."

The concubine who was pointed at by her fell to her knees and said, "Yes, my sister was young and ignorant."

"What are you doing? I just suddenly remembered that we fought for a pot of beautiful peony, but it was a pity that all the flowers and leaves of that pot of peony were removed overnight."
