Chapter 32 She guessed his thoughts at a glance

The Queen Mother had a good impression of Lu Xinran and naturally did not want her to be punished.

But her ability is so extraordinary that not only can she detect details that others are unaware of, but her inner voice can also be heard by many people.

If there is no restraint, there will be unpredictable consequences.

But if she were to be punished, or restrained by conventional methods... the empress dowager felt complicated when she thought about the methods the emperor might use.

The queen just sat quietly by the side, her thoughts wandering to who knows where.

The emperor had been suspicious and disliked of the empress over the years, but when he discovered that her attention was not on him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He glanced at her again, and seeing that she still didn't look at him, he could only cough lightly.

"What does the Queen think?"

The Queen came back to her senses from her wandering thoughts, met the Queen Mother's expectant gaze and spoke calmly.

"From her voice, I can tell she is a simple and kind girl."

As for how to deal with it, the emperor probably already had an idea, and he was never willing to listen to her opinions, so why bother asking her?

The queen stood up and said, "I feel a little dizzy. I will leave now, apologies for my inconvenience."

She held the hand of the palace maid, stood up and left under the emperor's complicated gaze.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Don't look at her anymore. The Queen has completely lost her dignity. You just wanted her to guard the imperial mausoleum. Now she..."

There is nothing left to lose.

The emperor thought of what he had said in his mind before, and his face flushed.

"Mother, did I do something wrong?"

The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at the sparkling water: "The Emperor has the answer in his heart, why bother asking an old woman like me."

The situation had just been like that, and the Emperor was still reluctant to let go of Concubine Chen as she was dragged away.

Thinking of that scene, she no longer had the heart to continue talking.

"I only have one thing to say. The girl from the Lu family is not allowed to be taken into the harem. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want with it."

The emperor frowned as he watched the empress dowager helping the palace maid leave. It was true... no one knows a son better than his mother. She guessed his thoughts at a glance.

He originally thought that it would be just right to have such a magical ability in the harem. If he wanted to know about the intrigues in the harem, he could just go to her and hear it clearly.

It is convenient for me and I don't have to worry about her getting into unexpected trouble outside.

However, the Queen Mother wanted to protect her and had already mentioned the matter directly, so he couldn't just keep disobeying her.

But what else should be done with her if she is not taken into the harem?

In a remote and quiet courtyard in the northwest of Ronghui Garden, Lu Xinran sat in his room, looking silently at Lu Xinlan who was standing beside him.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys?"

Why were they all looking at her with such suspicious looks for no reason?

It's Zhao. She doesn't look like a fighting chicken at all.

The noisy voices in his mind came again, and Lu Xinlan rubbed his brows with a headache.

"You think so much every day, aren't you tired?"

Lu Xinran was surprised: "How do you know that I would have such wild thoughts?!"

Lu Xinlan looked at her intently, thinking that she had finally realized that she had been a sieve.

The result was a bunch of dense voices and one sentence.

"Don't worry, sister. No matter what I think, I won't cause trouble for the Lu family. I have been very well behaved today. Aunt Xu even praised me for what I did just now."

Lu Xinlan: “…”

She has now determined that her servants, that is, those who have signed the indenture, cannot hear her voice.

There seems to be a threshold as to whether other people can hear it.

But she hasn't found where this threshold is yet.

Aunt Xu couldn't hear her outrageous words, so she naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with her performance today and it was worthy of praise.

She met Lu Xinran's innocent eyes, rubbed her eyebrows, opened her mouth and started talking nonsense.

"Have you forgotten that eyes are windows to the soul? We are not cunning, and what we think in our hearts can be seen through our eyes. So next time, no matter what happens, try not to think too much, understand?"

Lu Xinran nodded in shock. She felt that her good sister was targeting her, but she had no evidence!

"Miss, Miss Zhang is here and wants to see you and Miss Zhang."

Why is Zhang Shuier here?

Thinking of the other party's proneness to dizziness, Lu Xinran waved his hand subconsciously.

"Grandma and the others are still resting, let's..."

"Let her in."

Lu Xinlan had someone bring Zhang Shuier in without waiting for her to finish.

She could roughly guess why the other party came over.

"Aren't you afraid of fainting here? This guy faints all the time, it's really troublesome."

Zhang Shui'er, who followed the servant into the house, heard these words as soon as she reached the door. She rolled her eyes speechlessly.

If this guy wasn't so annoying, why would she faint for no reason?

However, she snorted and walked in, bowing to the two sisters.

"I apologize to you for what happened before. I, Zhang Shui'er, am not an ungrateful person. From now on, hmm, we will be good sisters."

Lu Xinran: “…”

The person in front of her was so pushy that she forgot to complain in her heart for a moment.

"It was only today that I realized how difficult it was for my aunt in the palace. I was so willful before."

She stood up and sat next to Lu Xinlan, then sighed loudly.

Lu Xinran: “…”

[No, your aunt is not difficult, why are you telling us this! ]

[You're not planning on doing anything fancy, are you?]

[If she is still thinking about her fourth brother, I don't believe she is willing to be good sisters with Lu Xinlan. ]

When she mentioned Song Junyan, Zhang Shuier's cheeks instantly turned red.

In the past, she didn’t understand the hardships faced by the Empress and her grandfather and father. She liked to run to the palace and chase after the princes.

Now that she understood the Zhang family's situation, she no longer dared to think about marrying the prince.

"Lu Xinlan, I, I will not bother Fourth Brother anymore. No, Fourth Prince, don't worry, I will avoid him when I see him in the future. You must believe me."

She held Lu Xinlan's hand tightly and looked at her eagerly. If there was a big tail behind her, it would be swinging wildly at this moment.

Lu Xinran remained speechless, "It doesn't matter whether my sister believes it or not. She is no longer the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and her marriage with Song Junyan is definitely not counted."

Zhang Shuier: “…”

Just now, something unexpected happened at the waterside pavilion, and she rushed over, actually forgetting that Lu Xinlan's current identity was no longer suitable to be a prince's consort.

[She didn't come here to retreat in order to advance, pretending to be good sisters, but actually wanted to laugh at Lu Xinlan! ]

Zhang Shui'er was terrified and tried to wave her hands away.

No, no, she didn't.

Although Zhang Shuier behaves somewhat arrogantly, she is not a vicious person.

Lu Xinlan couldn't help being amused by the two funny guys beside him. He picked up a handkerchief and covered his mouth with it, laughing silently.

After a while, when Lu Xinran was confused and Zhang Shuier's face turned red with embarrassment, he tried hard to suppress the corners of his lips and looked at Zhang Shuier.

"I believe you. We will be good sisters from now on."

Zhang Shuier hugged her excitedly, "Thank you, thank you. I, I now feel, Fourth Brother, it's not that the Fourth Prince is not worthy of you! Do you want to see my eldest brother? He hasn't even asked for marriage yet."

Lu Xinran hurriedly grabbed the person back and said, "No, your elder brother is a military commander, his hands are as big as a palm leaf fan, and he can knock her out a mile with one slap. If he abuses her, how can my sister beat him?"

Zhang Shuier: “……?!!”

What domestic violence, what beating!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Zhang family has an ancestral teaching that we cannot lay hands on women!"
