Chapter 317 Branching out
Lu Xinran still knew his limits and knew not to tease too much, so he just teased Liu a few more times and then let her go.
After all, she is Lu Xinlan's mother-in-law, and making too much trouble will only cause trouble for her.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for her to reveal some sensual details, but she suddenly changed the subject and targeted someone else.
Liu slumped in the chair as if exhausted, feeling angry, annoyed and suffocated.
Of course she could see what Lu Xinran was up to. He wanted to use the presence of everyone to pressure her.
If she continues to cause trouble for Lu Xinlan, covertly or openly, the result will not be let off so easily.
As for how Lu Xinlan was doing in the Tang Mansion, the other party knew it clearly through the system without her having to say anything.
This made her extremely depressed, and it was not easy for her to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for Lu Xinlan.
However, if you don't work hard to have children for your husband's family after marriage, it will be unacceptable no matter where you look!
Lu Xinran looked at the booklet that Liu updated in real time and shook his head helplessly at Lu Xinlan.
As a mother-in-law, she has fallen into the trap of spreading and expanding.
Lu Xinlan shook his head helplessly at her, signaling her to stop causing trouble for him.
After this period of contact, she had already realized that Liu had been the most powerful person in the mansion in recent years. Both her mother-in-law and Tang Quyan listened to her in everything.
She had long been accustomed to everyone in the house listening to her and watching her expression, so she was naturally extremely dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law being so disobedient.
When she first decided to get married, she had imagined this kind of situation, so she didn't feel sad at all.
Life is always full of difficulties, and you have to overcome them one by one. Just take it slow.
Lu Xinran glared at her angrily, but since there were outsiders around, he couldn't say anything more. He just snorted and went to eat other people's big melons.
During the days before the Lantern Festival, the young couple appeared in different mansions every day.
In order to gain health points, Lu Xinran would not miss any opportunity. Everyone in Beijing was in pain and happy. As long as the melon did not fall on their heads, it would be another happy day.
During the Lantern Festival, the young couple went to the street to watch the lanterns sweetly.
The street was crowded with people, and Song Junyan held Lu Xinran in front of him, holding their fingers tightly.
Holding a lantern, she saw that the annual lantern puzzle competition was coming up ahead, so she hurriedly pulled Song Junyan over.
There was no familiar figure on the stage this time. The cheerful and generous boy a year ago has gradually become strong in the wind and frost of the northwest.
Seeing that she seemed to be lost in memory, Song Junyan glanced at the stage and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go."
After walking from one end of the street to the other, before getting on the carriage to return to the palace, Lu Xinran suddenly turned around and looked at an alley next to him.
Song Junyan followed her line of sight and couldn't help feeling a little shy, but then he felt happy.
Without the reckless courage on this day last year, we wouldn't be living such a happy and carefree life today.
He gently shook Lu Xinran's hand, then lowered his eyes and looked at her in the light of the distant light.
"Let's go home."
go home.
Lu Xinran admired the two of them in his heart, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go home."
At least it was still her home now.
After the Lantern Festival, everything in the capital seemed to have returned to normal.
Throughout the New Year, Lu Xinran relied on hard work to increase his life span to more than 20 years.
As for the battle between Song Junhua and Song Junyu, the journey to Yangcheng was long and it was already New Year, so the winner had not yet been decided.
From Lu Xinran's perspective, there is still a large amount of life value that has not been settled.
Without the pressure of insufficient health, the couple once again focused their attention on the country prince hiding in the dark.
Eating melons for the entire New Year was not without any gain. While flipping through the pamphlet, Lu Xinran had already identified several officials whose words and deeds were inconsistent.
However, their contacts with the prince were all passive, and no one knew where that person was hiding.
In this case, the couple could only passively let people guard these officials and wait for the man to show his whereabouts.
"Do you think he has other plans in the palace? Do you think he would bribe the people around the Queen Mother if he wants to gain her support?"
If the Queen Mother has no one of his around her, how can he get close to her and make her accept him in the shortest possible time?
In the study, Lu Xinran sat at the desk, with all the information she had compiled in front of her.
Song Junyan glanced at the information in front of her and said, "Actually, there is one thing we haven't considered yet."
Lu Xinran raised his eyebrows and waited patiently for his next words.
Song Junyan tapped the table with his fingers, slowly organizing his thoughts.
"You have exposed the fact that the emperor was overly dependent on aphrodisiacs. The emperor has become suspicious and will probably stop using these pills.
"If you stop taking it, the pill's effect on Father won't be so severe that it's irreversible.
“Although it’s not even the first month of the lunar calendar yet, my father can no longer forbear. He has put the imperial physician who prescribed the aphrodisiac into the Heavenly Prison and will execute him the day after tomorrow.
"His family and clansmen were all exiled to Lingnan, and no one was allowed to plead for them.
"We have ruined this move. We have directly ruined that person's plan."
If that person is unwilling to wait any longer, other arrangements will surely emerge soon.
And if he hated both of them because of this, especially Lu Xinran who had ruined the other party's plans through the system, he was afraid that the man would harm her.
He carefully analyzed the situation that might arise later, then stepped forward and took her hand.
"If you have nothing important to do during this period, please stay in the palace. After you and I get married, my father will withdraw all the secret guards sent to protect you. Now you are only surrounded by the palace guards, and I am afraid I can't protect you."
Since his life was in danger, Lu Xinran immediately nodded in agreement.
She still had enough health, and she had already tasted the melons from various prefectures in the capital, so there was no need to rush out.
Seeing that she agreed obediently, Song Junyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the New Year, it was time for him to find an opportunity to meet with the Duke of Zhenguo.
Since the queen has decided to fully support him, there is no need for him to reject her kindness.
They have been tied together since the beginning, and the military force of Yucheng Pass is the greatest help to him, and he must grasp it in his hands.
