The Queen Mother said coldly: "Perhaps she is resentful after being punished, and it is possible that she is maliciously accusing me."
After a pause, he asked again, "How much higher?"
The maiden sweated coldly on her forehead and said, "About ten centimeters."
A dozen centimeters, this can't be explained by growing taller.
"Shuncai, go check it out."
"yes."
Shuncai waved her hand, and the palace maid said hurriedly: "Then I will take my leave first."
The two walked out of the hall together, and Shuncai took out a bag of silver and said, "This is a reward from the queen."
The palace maid smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Eunuch."
"Tell her not to reveal any of this to anyone. If it is leaked..." Shuncai had a sinister and fierce expression on his face.
The maid's face changed, and she said hurriedly, "Of course, don't worry, eunuch."
Shuncai watched the palace maid leave with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Inside the palace, a fire broke out with the force of a prairie fire.
As luck would have it, it was the princess's house that was burned down.
Lu Wan stayed in Shen Yan's study, watching the flames outside the window.
There was a noisy shouting in my ears.
"There's a fire. Put it out quickly."
She really couldn't concentrate on reading, so she closed the book in her hand and looked at Chen Yan who seemed to be oblivious to what she was saying, wondering what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements in advance. No one will get hurt."
Shen Yan turned another page of the book in his hand.
Half an hour ago, Shen Yan broke into Lu Wan's bedroom, lit the fire himself, and pulled Lu Wan out of the yard. During this period, he did not encounter a single servant.
"Then explain to me what you are doing."
"It's a long story, but don't worry, I won't harm you." Shen Yan smiled, "From now on, Princess Shen is dead, and you can move around the mansion as Lu Wan's companion."
"Do you think everyone in this mansion is blind?"
They knew what they looked like, and they spent so much time and money on this. They really couldn't understand why the prince was doing this.
What's more, even if they didn't say anything, the concubines in the mansion were not fools, so how could they be fooled so easily?
"I will take good care of the servants. As for the concubines in the mansion." Shen Yan paused and said, "The princess died tragically, and this king is grieving, so I will dismiss everyone and let them fend for themselves."
"I have even thought of a reason. What do you think?" Shen Yan threw the book away and looked at him with a smile.
"Are you crazy? You don't want Lu Baixue anymore?" Lu Wan sighed in his heart. He was indeed a scumbag. He used to dote on her in every way, but now he abandons her and sends her away without hesitation. He is so heartless.
Chen Yan frowned and said, "This king has never favored her. She is the daughter of the Lu family's side branch, and she is also your half-sister. This king will find a good place for her."
"The most important thing now is to find your sister, Lu Changqing."
"Oh." Lu Wan came back to his senses and said, "So you put on such a show because you wanted me to make room for my sister."
"What nonsense?" Shen Yan frowned, "What an idiot."
Lu Wan was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.
"Before, my position was not high, and I didn't need you to go around, but now you have to attend palace banquets of all sizes. What if you are exposed?" Shen Yan stretched out his hand and placed it on the top of Lu Wan's hair. "What if Lu Changqing falls into the hands of the Queen Mother?"
Yes, if Lu Changqing falls into the hands of the Queen Mother, she will use her life to threaten the Lu family. Lu Changxin and the millions of troops on the border will be at the mercy of the Queen Mother.
Thinking of this, Lu Wan couldn't help but shudder, and looked at the man next to her. He was worthy of being the king who would have power over the world in the future. After all, he knew much more than her, who could only read books.
"Anyway, let's wait until your brother comes back and we'll discuss everything."
The Regent Princess passed away, and the Prince Regent was heartbroken, so he closed the door to visitors during the funeral period.
Lu Wan stood in the corridor, looking at the arrangements in front of him, and felt two drops of cold sweat on his head.
Since it's a fake death, there's no need to take the funeral so seriously.
Without the identity of a princess, Lu Wan is now just the princess' half-brother living in the palace. When she returned to her residence, she paused as soon as she opened the door.
Chen Yan was wearing a flashy white robe and was reading a book on the soft couch under the window.
Why is this dog prince no longer pretending to be in love with his wife in front of him and coming here to make trouble?
Just as he finished complaining in his heart, he saw Shen Yan looking over here and asked with a smile, "Why, Mr. Lu doesn't welcome me?"
Lu Wan was almost blinded by this smile and laughed dryly, "How could it be, how could it be."
“There is no best.”
Shen Yan sat up straight, then waved to Lu Wan, "Come here."
Chen Yan had heard clearly what Lu Wan was thinking about him in her heart. However, seeing that she wanted to stay away from him but had to walk towards him at a snail's pace, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
It feels good to change from a princess to a staff member.
Lu Wan walked up to Chen Yan and wanted to sit far away from him, but she didn't expect that this man was so mean and pushed her next to him.
As an independent woman of the new era, Lu Wan had seen all kinds of scenes, but the man next to her was too lethal, and the memory of sleeping in the same bed that night kept coming back to her, and Lu Wan's face gradually turned red.
She pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact she was complaining constantly in her heart.
Although this bastard is good-looking, I am here to study mummies. How could I be attracted by such beauty?
It was obviously he who was shy, but he got angry and blamed others. He was scolded for no reason and turned from a dog prince into a dog man. Shen Yan's eyes flashed. He hooked Lu Wan's hair with one hand and twisted it around, and threw the book in his hand away with the other hand.
"I came here today because I have something to tell you, sir."
Lu Wan was unreasonably ashamed, "Don't call me sir."
It was clearly the most formal way to address an aide, but when it came out of Chen Yan's mouth, it always felt like something was wrong.
Maybe this is what people often say: a dog can't spit out ivory?
Thinking this in his mind, Lu Wan glanced at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth and then quickly retracted his gaze.
But to Shen Yan, this look was like a small hook, making him feel itchy.
After listening to his sister's advice to cherish the person in front of him, Chen Yan no longer had the filter of a real sister towards Lu Baixue. He really didn't think anything of her. Instead, this Lu Wan, who had changed her heart, was particularly to his liking.
However, Shen Yan came today, firstly because he had been busy with official business in the study these days and really missed this little woman, and secondly, there were two new pieces of news coming from outside, and both were related to Lu Wan.
Lu Wan realized that Shen Yan's mind was not here, so she tried to save her hair from his hand, but before she could raise her hand, she heard an inaudible male voice, "Don't move."
