Chapter 363 Just Endure for Two More Months

Although the Lu and Tang families tried their best to cover it up, there is no impenetrable wall in this world.

The news that Lu Xinlan and Tang Chongli were going to divorce was spread by someone unknown.

Now, not to mention the entire capital, many people know about this.

However, the court is too chaotic right now, and because of the previous house confiscation incident, all the governments have stayed indoors and are cautious in their words and actions, so not many people are discussing this matter in private.

Liu has been claiming to be ill for nearly a month because of Lu Xinran's complaints. No matter how smoothly her life has been these years, she still has to save her face. If those secrets of her concubines were to get out, it would be like peeling off her face and throwing it on the ground and stepping on it, there would be no difference.

The empress was in the palace, and was placed under house arrest in Changchun Palace by the emperor. She heard what happened next.

She looked at Lu Xinran with heavy eyes. When Lu Xinran's letter was delivered to the team returning to Beijing, she also knew the content of the letter.

At that time she also asked her if she wanted to go back to Yucheng Pass.

She was there to help her deal with the Lu Mansion in the capital. At that time, Lu Xinlan's face was full of confidence, as if she didn't realize that she would be unable to handle these small matters.

As if he had thought of all the things that happened back then, Lu Xinlan laughed at himself and bowed to the empress.

She didn't think it was shameful to get a divorce after getting married, but the palace was not the place to talk.

The three of them returned to Changchun Palace. As soon as they sat down, the empress asked again: "Why do you want to divorce for no reason? But what did Tang Chongli do to let you down?"

No matter who you are, when thinking about marriage and divorce, the first thing you think about is whether there is something wrong between the two of you.

Even the Empress was no exception. After all, she and the Emperor were at loggerheads with each other. However, she did not have the choice to leave like Lu Xinlan.

Lu Xinlan smiled bitterly and repeated what he had said to Pei and others.

"So the problem lies with Liu," the queen suddenly realized, and didn't hesitate about her decision: "You did the right thing, if you can't live together, then divorce. No one in this world can't live without her.

"Don't worry. If it's inconvenient for you to return to the Lu family after you leave, I will take care of you. Is there no place for you in this huge capital and country?

"In the future..." She paused, and after scanning the hall to see that there were no outsiders, she said in a low voice: "When I can leave the capital, you will come with me, and we will ride horses and travel freely.

"Let's go and take a look at the whole Chu State. Let's also get a big ship and go out to see the legendary overseas."

As the queen spoke, her heart seemed to have flown out of the palace.

The emperor has been courting death, and such a day is not far away.

Lu Xinlan pursed her lips and smiled. The Queen's support and affirmation were the best answer to all the suffering she had endured during this period.

Lu Xinran's heart also followed the empress and flew out of the palace and out of the capital. If Song Junyan did not become the emperor, they would definitely not have a good ending, but if he became the emperor, she would be locked up in the palace.

Thinking of how she had spent her time catching mosquitoes in the palace while they rode slowly on horseback throughout the Chu State, she felt as if she had eaten a hundred lemons.

Otherwise... after Song Junyan gets what he wants, she will divorce him before he ascends the throne!

Hearing her confused thoughts at this moment, the Queen and Lu Xinlan immediately gathered their minds.

They all saw what Song Junyan was thinking. Lu Xinran wanted a divorce... well, she'd better give up thinking about it.

"Ahem," the queen coughed lightly, "tell me about the situation in the capital."

She had watched Song Junyan grow up and knew his personality very well. She was also familiar with her father's temper. Without asking for details, she could imagine how the two of them were progressing now.

"I will try to find a way to meet with my father again. You go back... Forget it, I will take care of the fourth brother."

The Queen originally wanted Lu Xinran to persuade Song Junyan after returning so that he could trust the Zhang family.

But some things cannot be said with words, and if it involves dispatching troops from surrounding areas to the capital, it would be too sensitive.

So she changed her mind halfway through her words, "Xinran girl, I need to know how the emperor is doing now? How long can he live!"

She asked too directly, and Lu Xinran answered her directly without thinking.

"If he is treated only by the imperial doctors from now on, he will survive the summer."

"But now he still has to take the pills given to him by the Taoists, and he also hates the treatments given by the imperial doctors, right?"

As soon as she paused, the queen finished her sentence.

Lu Xinran nodded: "If he has been bewitched by the Taoist priest, he will not be able to endure it for two months at most."

Previously it was just a severe loss, but this time it was clearly a sign of running out of fuel.

That kind of thing is something that should not be touched. It is addictive and hallucinogenic. The emperor has been doing whatever he wants for so many years and he can't control himself at all.

Therefore, even without using the system, she could calculate the emperor's death date.

The queen's heart trembled, but she was suddenly filled with joy after being shocked. She stood up suddenly and laughed with her head tilted back.

“Okay, great!”

This hellish day is finally coming to an end.

She never doubted that she could outlive the emperor, but she never thought that he would be so eager to kill herself.

Two months!

If she just endures for two more months, she will be free!

The queen tilted her head back, and as she laughed, tears began to roll down her eyes.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and looked at the two sisters with bright and eager eyes.

"In this case, time is running out. I don't have enough time to find an opportunity to meet my father and the fourth brother in person. I can only write two letters now, one for the fourth brother and one to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Can you do it?"

"Can."

She suddenly became serious, and Lu Xinran also became serious like Zheng.

A few months ago, who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly!

However, if the emperor has less than two months to live, should Yunsong's identity be revealed?

"The Queen Mother has that man's men on her side. Don't think of her as useless. The scheming and methods she used to get to where she is today are beyond your and my imagination.

"She must have had some doubts about some details, but she no longer cared whether the emperor was her son or not.

"At her age, all she wants is stability, so she doesn't care what the truth is. Even if she knew it, do you think she would really deny everything for the sake of her own flesh and blood?"

Denying the emperor meant denying everything in the past, including her honor as the empress dowager.

These are not what she wants to see.

Lu Xinran looked at Lu Xinlan thoughtfully, "No wonder Yunsong wanted to use me to publicize this matter."

It seems that he also has a deep understanding of his biological mother.

He never expected the mother-son relationship that had never existed from the beginning to the end, nor would he be bound by such useless emotions.

The Royal Family is indeed a place without any emotions.
