"Mingxuan, this..."
After Princess Chenxiang left, Xu Wanqing looked at Lu Mingxuan in surprise.
Lu Mingxuan sighed, "Wanqing, you are too willful. After all, we came here to seek help, but you have clashed with Princess Chenxiang again and again."
"No matter what, Princess Chenxiang grew up by the side of the Ningguo monarch. Can you compare to her?"
Hearing this, Xu Wanqing's eyes revealed displeasure, "I don't want to either, but, but that damn girl always makes trouble for me, I can't just let it go."
"We are under someone else's roof, so we still have to bow our heads."
After Lu Mingxuan finished speaking, he sighed and left.
Xu Wanqing sat alone in the yard for a long time before she got up and went back to the house.
In the next few days, Xu Wanqing stopped showing off and greeted everyone in the palace politely.
For a time, Xu Wanqing's reputation in the Ningguo Palace became better and better.
"Your Majesty, is there any news?"
The queen was always wondering whether Xu Wanqing was a fake. When she saw the guards coming in, she rushed over to find out.
The Ningguo monarch sighed, "Xu Wanqing is indeed the daughter of the Xu family."
"So, is she real? Then how could it be..."
"The Xu family has two daughters. She is the eldest daughter and has a younger sister."
"this......"
The queen was a little confused. Regardless of Su Feng's status as Ningguo or Shangyuan, she couldn't be someone else's second wife, right? What... was going on?
"Xu Wanqing is not the emperor's sister's granddaughter. The emperor's sister's granddaughter is someone else."
“Your Majesty, you are saying that Xu Wanqing’s sister is the real one.”
The Ningguo monarch nodded and said, "According to the spies, both daughters of the Xu family have married into the royal family. This Xu Wanqing is the concubine of the Crown Prince Shangyuan."
The queen panicked, "She, what on earth is she doing here?"
The Ningguo monarch shook his head. "That... I don't know either. However, it is said that she escaped from the palace at night and headed north to Ningguo."
Hearing this, the Queen was relieved, "So it seems like he committed a crime and is running for his life."
"Yes, I think so too. She and that Xu Wanyan are sisters, so it's not surprising that she knows these things."
The Queen nodded, "So, what do you plan to do with her?"
The Ningguo monarch waved his hand and said, "Forget about disposing of them. They are relatives after all. Let them stay here for a while."
When the Queen heard this, she pouted in dissatisfaction, "Just because of this person, Chenxiang has suffered so much, and you are still so partial to her."
The Ningguo monarch was helpless, "Chenxiang's temper should be properly disciplined, otherwise, who knows how much trouble she will cause in the future."
"What could possibly happen? After all, she's a child of the royal family. Her father is the crown prince. She'll be a princess of a country in the future, so she should be a little spoiled."
“Bang!”
"Empress, I am so disappointed in you. You were a strict mother when educating your children. How come you have become so confused about right and wrong when it comes to your grandchildren?"
"How could I not distinguish right from wrong? That girl impersonated someone else, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor. She was the one who provoked Chenxiang first, and in the end, Chenxiang suffered the consequences."
"Alright, alright, I'll give Chenxiang some rewards later."
Hearing this, the queen smiled and said, "That's more like it."
"Rewards are rewards, but you can't let this child do whatever she wants. No one can protect her forever, understand?"
"Don't worry, I'll invite her over for dinner tonight and have a good talk with her."
The Ningguo monarch nodded in satisfaction, "Let's leave those two alone for now. Find someone to keep an eye on them first, to prevent them from carrying out any more murders."
The Queen's expression grew serious, and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I almost forgot that."
After saying this, the queen hurried out.
In the next few days, Lu Mingxuan always felt that there were eyes watching them outside the palace walls.
"Mingxuan, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Wanqing was full of surprise.
Lu Mingxuan raised his finger gently, silencing the call. "Wanqing, I feel like someone is watching us."
Hearing this, Xu Wanqing looked around for a while, then shook her head, "No."
After saying that, she turned and went back into the house.
Lu Mingxuan followed, "Really, I've felt it for a long time. I always feel like someone is watching us."
Xu Wanqing glanced at her and said, "So what? We both look much better than the people here. Isn't it normal for someone to look at us?"
"How do you know people are looking at us because of our looks?"
Lu Mingxuan was extremely angry. He didn't expect Xu Wanqing to be so stupid.
"Then how do you know they're not doing this? Besides, isn't it normal to be watched when you're in the palace?"
"Normal?" Lu Mingxuan didn't know if it was okay.
"Of course it's normal, because every palace has guards, maids, and eunuchs. In order to protect the people in the palace, the emperor has always sent people to keep an eye on them."
"real?"
Then why wasn’t there one a few days ago?
Xu Wanqing nodded, then smiled sweetly and said, "Mingxuan, I think you are just too nervous. It's okay, this is normal. Don't be suspicious."
Hearing Xu Wanqing say this, Lu Mingxuan finally felt relieved.
"Then, when will we tell the King of Ning about our affairs?"
"What Ningguo King? You should refer to him as your great uncle from now on."
"Okay, okay, I'm not wrong. I'll do as you say."
Only then was Xu Wanqing satisfied. She smiled and said, "I plan to indulge in being served for a few more days, and then ask for help from him."
Lu Mingxuan shook his head. "I don't think so. We've been here for a long time. If Shangyuan traces us here, can you guarantee that your identity won't be exposed? Won't they send you back to Shangyuan? By then, with Xiao Muhan's vengeful nature, you'll be in great danger."
After hearing what Lu Mingxuan said, Xu Wanqing frowned, and she realized that she could not wait any longer.
After a while, she looked at Lu Mingxuan and said, "Mingxuan, you are right. I can't wait any longer. I will go find him today."
Lu Mingxuan smiled. "That's right. As long as we succeed, why would we be afraid of not having someone to serve us? Then you can have anyone serve you. As for those disobedient servants, you can beat them or scold them as you please. It's all up to you to say a word."
Xu Wanqing nodded complacently and agreed, "Mingxuan, you are right. We should realize our great cause as soon as possible. By then, no matter whether it is Xiao Muchan or Xu Wanyan, these people will have to die."
"I'll do as you say. Everything is up to you."
Where Xu Wanqing couldn't see, Lu Mingxuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of calculation.
In order to meet the King of Ningguo, Xu Wanqing personally cooked a plate of Lantern Festival cakes and happily took it to the Longxiang Palace.
