Chapter 352: The sisters were never ordinary people
Many old officials still remember vividly how the emperor came to power and what he did after he ascended the throne.
To them, Lu Xinran's shock was just a shock that had long passed. They had always known that the emperor was cruel and bloodthirsty hidden in the dark, so they never dared to think about taking sides.
Who knows whether this kind of indulgence, seemingly like raising pigs, is intended to strangle these court officials to death.
The empress dowager looked at the dense silver needles on the emperor's chest, and the only thing on her mind was Lu Xinran's first words.
This is a good mouthful of blood!
Everything will be fine once the emperor wakes up!
Lu Xinran was still waiting for Song Junyan to give her a hint. At this moment, Song Junyan was quickly calculating what to do next to get them out of the vortex.
But this is just a pool of muddy water, and they have already been in it, so there is no way they can distance themselves from it.
He took a deep breath and said, "Go on."
Now that the situation has become what it is now, just let it take its course.
After getting his answer, Lu Xinran opened the Emperor's Booklet again.
[In the fifth year of being the crown prince, the emperor was taken to the cold palace by his father.]
[There...]
"Ask the King of Wei and the Queen of Wei to come in and see me."
The emperor, who had just woken up from a coma, suddenly felt better from headaches and blurry eyes, and spoke more vigorously when he heard Lu Xinran talking about those days.
The voice that had been soft and weak before now had a bit of strength.
This voice interrupted Lu Xinran's thoughts. The Queen Mother looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he wanted to stop Lu Xinran from continuing.
He didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager's expression. He just glanced at Eunuch Fu, indicating him to go out and bring Lu Xinran in.
Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and now without hearing any follow-up, they all felt itchy and suspicious.
The emperor rarely interrupted Lu Xinran. He had expressed his disdain and contempt for him many times before, but he simply ignored them and did not care that they would be heard by the court officials.
How come he just wanted to talk about why he and the empress had become strangers, but he just interrupted her without caring about his poor health?
When Zhang Yongping heard her mention the word "cold palace", murderous intent suddenly flashed across his lowered eyes.
Others didn't know, but he could guess why the late emperor took him to the cold palace.
The Queen also felt a surge of understanding in her heart as she looked at the backs of the young couple being taken to the inner chamber by Eunuch Fu.
Oh, I see.
It's really ironic.
The emperor's face was not as ugly as before he vomited blood. Lu Xinran knew what the emperor wanted to know and repeated what he had said before.
He just emphasized that if he took that pill again he would definitely vomit blood again, and then he repeated that he would not live to see the end of the year.
The emperor's expression kept changing, and he was subconsciously half believing and half doubting what she said.
It was clearly just an ordinary aphrodisiac, it couldn't be as serious as she said.
Isn't he okay this time?
At worst, he will just find a way to vomit blood again next time he uses it.
Looking at the contents that kept appearing in the booklet, she shook her head speechlessly.
As expected, if God wants to destroy someone, he must drive him mad. The emperor is completely hopeless.
I don’t know what kind of people Yunsong arranged around the emperor to be able to influence the emperor to such an extent.
"Alright, I am now fine. You can go back early, and the court officials outside can also go away."
Lu Xinran could no longer be allowed to stay in the palace, and the court officials and the empress dowager could not know the secret of his life experience.
The emperor first asked Eunuch Fu to dismiss all the court officials. After they left the palace, he asked Eunuch Fu to personally escort them out of the palace.
The more he said this, the more it showed that there was something hidden.
The empress dowager's brows were already knotted. As soon as the young couple left, she waved away the imperial physician who was still examining the emperor's pulse.
"Emperor, please tell me what happened between you and the Empress. You two have gone to such lengths that every time I see you like this, my heart aches."
She pulled the emperor and forced him to look at her.
The emperor was still a little dizzy at the moment and was not willing to talk about the past.
He waved his hands, his words full of deception: "Mother, the Empress and I are just young couples. It is normal for our feelings to fade over time. Don't worry too much and just rest assured and take care of yourself."
He didn't want to talk about it any more and raised his hand to rub his brow. The empress dowager sighed and realized that it was useless to say more, so she could only call the imperial physician in again.
When she left the inner room, the empress had already returned to Changchun Palace without her knowing.
Outside the palace gate, Song Junyan and Lu Xinlan had just walked to the carriage when Tang Quyan jumped down from the carriage nearby.
"I have met the King of Wei and his wife."
Lu Xinran's mind was now full of the contents of the booklet that was interrupted by the emperor. He was slightly startled when he suddenly heard Tang Quyan's voice.
Tang Quyan bowed to her awkwardly: "Princess Wei, between your wife and your daughter-in-law..."
"Sir Tang, I don't want to talk about what happened between them, but you have been handling cases in the Dali Temple for many years, and you know that everything should be objective and fair, and you cannot be biased or partial.
"What exactly happened between Liu and my sister, and how did it come to this point today? I hope you can also make a rational and objective judgment.
"I can only say that Liu came to Lu's house today and told him everything she really thought.
"My sister is of humble origin and cannot marry into a noble family. I hope Lord Tang will help her and your son get a divorce as soon as possible."
After Lu Xinran finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and got on the carriage first.
Tang Quyan looked at Song Junyan awkwardly and hoped that he could give him some hints.
Song Junyan pursed his lips and looked at him for a long while, and finally said, "They are never ordinary people, nor are they willing to be manipulated by others, and will not become obedient playthings for others.
"Master Tang, your wife... was wrong from the beginning."
Tang Quyan stared blankly at the carriage of Prince Wei's mansion going away, his heart sinking deeper and deeper.
His previous speculation turned out to be correct. Something happened today that he was unaware of and that was irreversible.
Rubbing his temples, he got on the carriage and hurried to the Tang Mansion.
As soon as the couple returned home, a servant came hurriedly to report that there was a little beggar outside the house who wanted to hand them an important letter.
Lu Xinran raised his eyebrows. This method sounded like something Yunsong would use.
Song Junyan took people to see the little beggar, while she went straight to Lu Xinlan's yard.
She had to be told everything about her "confrontation" with Tang Quyan in the palace today.
"You," Lu Xinlan raised his hand and tapped her forehead: "Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted."
There was no other way for her and Tang Chongli to go. Even if Lu Xinran threatened Tang Quyan to divorce his wife, it was just a joke.
Her fate with the Tang family has ended.
But getting a divorce as you wish may not be easy.
"The biggest obstacle right now is probably with my grandfather and father. I will go back to the Lu Mansion tomorrow to have a good talk with my grandfather."
"What's the point of talking to him? He only cares about himself. He is extremely selfish. He won't agree."
Speaking of Lu Jinchuan, Lu Xinran frowned in disgust.
"It's because of his personality that we need to have a good talk with him."
If she wants to divorce, someone has to make the decision for her.
Although Lu Xinran is a princess, she is not an elder.
