Chapter 459 Fall
Her sisterly attitude was excellent, but her last words made the emperor gasp.
He waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't corrupt Xin'er! Your own marriage is still a mess, how can you have the nerve to give advice to other people's families?"
The eldest princess thought of Erdong and her eyes suddenly dimmed.
She thought with some melancholy, that guy must have already escaped during the chaos...
Not wanting to show her vulnerability in front of everyone, she pretended to be vicious and said to the emperor, "You're still talking about me, but isn't your own harem a mess too?"
The emperor laughed and changed the subject: "Let's consult our conscience."
Both of their eyes were fixed on Hu Xiner, and she suddenly felt under a lot of pressure.
"I'm living quite well in the Lu family." Hu Xiner said after thinking for a while.
She told the truth about how she was treated in the Lu family. The eldest princess felt envious after hearing it: "I wish my husband could treat me like this."
Hu Xin'er held her hand and said, "Your husband will definitely be very good too."
The eldest princess didn't care about the guilty conscience that appeared inadvertently in Hu Xin'er's eyes, but smiled brightly: "You are right!"
She is the eldest princess, how could there be a man she can't get?
The emperor praised: "So the experience between our two families has been a bit tortuous, but Yun Jue and Mu Qing are indeed great."
In the past, he thought that Lu Yunjue was good in every way except that he was not as enterprising as Lu Xiang.
Now it seems that although the two brothers are in very different circumstances, they have both inherited the good nature of their mother Lu, unlike Lu Xiang, who appears perfect on the surface but is twisted behind the scenes.
This may be a loss for the country, but it is a great blessing for the family.
"Yeah." Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The emperor suddenly looked at her seriously: "Xin'er, I hope you can convince the Lu family to let down their guard against me."
It was inevitable that the emperor would be suspicious of his subjects, but the emperor considered himself a wise and benevolent ruler and would never kill people indiscriminately as he had done in the past.
He wanted to promise the Lu brothers high positions and generous salaries so that they could have a chance to make up for their mistakes.
Hu Xin'er avoided his gaze and said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."
The eldest princess grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly, "I don't think the emperor would harm you. Why are you so wary of him?"
Hu Xiner was helpless.
The eldest princess looked at her and was about to retort, but she remembered her previous disrespect for the prince and immediately shut up.
However, she felt that she might be wrong once, but she would never be wrong twice.
My father is definitely not the kind of person who kills people indiscriminately. As long as the Lu family is willing to give him a position, he will definitely give the Lu family a generous reward.
By then, Mother Lu can rest assured to recuperate, Hu Xiner can rest assured to take care of her pregnancy, and Mu Qing and others can contribute to the country. Isn't it wonderful!
The emperor advised, "Xin'er, I'm not asking you to persuade the Lu family, I just want you to follow me."
He sincerely wanted to resolve the rift between the two families, and he really valued talent.
Hu Xiner fell into deep thought. She withdrew her hand from the eldest princess and hid beside the table.
She pulled out the paper from her sleeve and put it back in again. How should she tell the emperor and the eldest princess that it was not only the Lu family that rejected the royal family, but she herself, a soul from another world, was also not interested in the relationship with the original owner?
As she fell silent, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but grow dim.
"This matter is not something I can decide on my own." Hu Xiner finally replied.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the eldest princess said, "I'm a little tired, Father. You should take good care of yourself. We will come to see you next time!"
Hu Xin'er was caught off guard when her arm was grabbed by her, and she hurriedly stuffed the paper into her sleeve.
The princess asked curiously, "What's this? Do you have any new comics?"
She reached out to take the paper, and Hu Xin'er was naturally no match for her.
The contract slipped from her sleeve, and the papers fell out. The unsealed papers were seen by the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was just joking at first, but when she saw Hu Xiner's nervous expression, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. When she saw the contents on the paper, her eyes fixed.
Shocked, she picked up the deed and read out the words: "A letter of severance of ties with the Liu family?"
The emperor was recovering from his injuries and was originally feeling a little weak, but at this moment he couldn't help but look up at the two of them.
What?! Hu Xin'er actually wants to break off relations with Liu Se?
The eldest princess pulled out the deed and, upon seeing Old Master Liu's handprint and signature on it, turned to look at Hu Xin'er in astonishment. "You've severed ties with the Liu family? When did that happen?"
"Just, just last night." Hu Xiner didn't expect the contract to fall out at this time, and answered subconsciously.
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?" The eldest princess frowned and then relaxed her brows. "But the Liu family has indeed been in a bad state over the years. I'm afraid you've suffered a lot in the Liu family, right?"
She felt that Xin'er had always had a good temper, and the Liu family must have done something excessive to her, which angered Hu Xin'er!
But what kind of injustice had she suffered to make her say that she wanted to break off the relationship?
"In fact, the main reason is that Liu Se killed Prime Minister Lu and turned Lu Yunjue into a human Gu!" Hu Xiner made up her mind and told the truth directly.
Of course, she could lie to the princess and say that she severed ties with the Liu family because she was abused.
However, if she missed this opportunity, she might not be able to say that she wanted to draw a clear line with the emperor.
"What?" The eldest princess was confused.
Hu Xin'er said quickly, "Liu Se used the poisonous insect to connect his fate with Lu Yunjue, and has been torturing him with it for years."
The Lu family might be able to forgive Prime Minister Lu's death, but they could never forgive her for mistreating Lu Yunjue!
"This..." The eldest princess was almost speechless after hearing her explanation.
She complained, "Your mother is too perverted, isn't she? Father, what kind of vision do you have?"
The emperor had not expected Hu Xin'er to be so resolute. His eyes went blank for a moment, and then he angrily scolded, "This is simply nonsense!"
As soon as he got angry, the palace servants in the hall knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of the dragon's health!"
The emperor's chest heaved rapidly, making people worry that his arrow wound would flare up.
"How can you sever ties with your own mother? Is blood relationship so easy to sever?" He stepped forward quickly, snatched the deed, and was about to tear it up.
Hu Xiner was shocked and rushed to protect the deed regardless of her own life. If the deed was lost, she would never be able to live a free life.
"Be careful!" The eldest princess was horrified because Hu Xiner, with her bulging belly, actually wanted to snatch the deed from the emperor. Whether she could snatch it or not was secondary. What would happen if she accidentally fell?
Just as he was thinking this, Hu Xin'er had already grabbed the deed in her hand, but her footing became unstable and she fell straight to the ground!
