Chapter 222: A bowl of water is never level



"Then what do you think we should do? Are we really going to let him come to Beijing?"

This is really too risky!

Who knows whether the King of Huainan was really doing this for his son or had other purposes.

By the time everyone is in Shengjing, it will be impossible to guard against it. If something goes wrong, who will take the responsibility?!

The Minister of War and Prime Minister Qin stopped talking. They could only express their opinions. As for what decision to make, that was something for the emperor to consider.

You must not go beyond the rules in everything, otherwise, you will have to take the blame!

Because of this incident, the emperor was so troubled that he couldn't even sleep well. And the person who started it wasn't much better off either, because Prince Shun's Mansion received a secret order from the emperor, asking them to do whatever it took to appease the Prince of Huainan!

"Isn't he just a poor prince? Is there any need to make such a fuss?"

Princess Shun couldn't understand why the Prince of Huainan was so far away from Shengjing that it was equivalent to a distance of 180,000 miles.

Even if his son's legs were broken, so what?

Their prince is the emperor's younger brother. Although the Prince of Huainan is also a prince, can their relationship be so close?

If there was, he would not have been exiled to such a distant fiefdom.

Prince Shun was also surprised. "My royal brother Shanglai doesn't care about the Prince of Huainan. He bullied him in the past, but I never heard him ask anyone to apologize to him. This time, it's really strange."

"Yeah, it's really surprising that our son is going to apologize to that cowardly prince. It's really embarrassing to hear that!"

Prince Shun's wife's face was full of disgust. So what if Prince Huainan had many military achievements?

In her eyes, he was just a peasant working in the fields, how could he compare to Prince Shun who was raised in dignity in Shengjing City?

An apology is considered a compliment to you because we are both princes.

They were even asked to find a way to calm the King of Huainan down?

gas?

What kind of anger is this? King Huainan, how dare you still be angry with them?!

"Since my brother has spoken, then we should do as he says. You are such a fool! I told you that the court has been restless lately and I asked you to control your family members. How could you still cause such trouble?"

Prince Shun couldn't help but complain in his tone. At this moment, Prince Huainan absolutely could not move.

Even he can understand this truth, let alone others!

Unfortunately, the princess in his family is a fool!

The son he gave birth to was also good-looking but not smart, and he chose to come and cause trouble for him at this time. Prince Shun felt very annoyed and simply threw the matter to the princess, asking her to find a way to arrange it.

He has more than one son. If all else fails, he can compensate the King of Huainan!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Prince Shun's wife was shouting until her throat was tired, but she couldn't slow down Prince Shun's pace at all.

There was a coldness in her eyes. She heard from her son that he had the opportunity to take Song Huaian away. In this way, no one would know what had happened.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked by Lu Yan from Changning Marquis Mansion!

Changning Marquis Mansion!

It’s the Marquis of Changning’s Mansion again!

Princess Shun felt that she and this Marquisate were simply incompatible. Why was it that nothing good happened every time she met them?

Unfortunately, the status of the Changning Marquisate is no longer the same as before, and she can't even vent her anger there, so she can only swallow it.

She will remember today's revenge!

When the chance comes, I must pay it back a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times!

At this time, the Changning Marquis Mansion was not as peaceful as imagined.

"Yan'er, you are too impulsive about this matter."

Old Madam Lu called everyone over and, in front of everyone, accused Lu Yan of acting impulsively, only considering his own personal loyalty and not considering the overall interests of the Marquis' Mansion.

"This matter originally had nothing to do with us. Now that you've intervened, Prince Shun's Mansion will hold a grudge against us. This is not a good thing for the Marquis' Mansion." Old Madam Lu's expression was very cold. If Shen Ruoyan hadn't been there, I'm afraid her tone wouldn't have been so calm.

Lu Jing was even more direct. "You're in the Imperial Academy, so just study hard! Don't get involved in unnecessary matters! You may not care, but we have such a large family in the Marquisate. Do we have to pay for your willfulness?"

"Marquis, is being brave and courageous the same as being willful? Then when you saved the emperor, should you also be considered willful?" Shen Ruoyan sneered, "After all, the Marquis's mansion has such a big family. If something happens to you, wouldn't it be irresponsible to them?"

"Ruoyan, don't try to force your point. That's not what I meant!" Lu Jing couldn't help but raise his voice. Is that what he meant? Don't think that just because you've read more books, you can misinterpret his meaning. He's not the same person he was before!

Shen Ruoyan ignored him and said, "Since that's not what the Marquis meant, why do you say that about Yan'er?"

When I do it myself, it's a righteous act. But when it comes to my son, it becomes meddling!

It's nothing more than saving the emperor and getting rewarded, while saving Song Huaian and getting into trouble!

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Madam Lu sighed and said earnestly, "Ruoyan, Ajing is also worried. If Yan'er offends Prince Shun's Mansion because of this, he is the emperor's brother after all, not someone we can afford to offend."

Shen Ruoyan looked at Madam Lu in confusion, and really wanted to ask, is she treating her as a fool?

“Then why do you still want to take the risk of offending Prince Shun’s Mansion and take Lu Ankang back home?” Shen Ruoyan asked sarcastically.

On the left, I said I didn't dare, and on the right, I said I shouldn't, but in fact, I did all the things that I really shouldn't do!

"Yan'er just saw injustice and hired a doctor for the Prince of Huainan. Compared to what Lu Ankang did back then, that's far worse! Since you're so afraid of offending Prince Shun's Mansion, why don't you just bring him back? Otherwise, you'll be worried and restless every day!"

Lu Jing was anxious, "These are two different things!"

Shen Ruoyan refused to give in, "In my mind, this is one thing. Or, in the eyes of the Marquis, are there two Prince Shun's Mansions in Shengjing City?"

One dares to offend, the other doesn't. Tell others and ask if they will believe it?

I’m afraid I can’t even fool myself!

“This…” Lu Jing couldn’t argue with Shen Ruoyan, so he could only turn around and look at Madam Lu.

Madam Lu knew that if Lu Ankang was involved, they would be in the wrong. So, she could only smile and smooth things over, saying, "Well, since it's already been done, there's no point in pursuing it further. We're only saying this in the hope that Yan'er will be more prudent in his future actions and consider the Marquis' Mansion more."

Shen Ruoyan found it ridiculous that Madam Lu said these things without blushing or breathing heavily. She was really thick-skinned!

She wanted to continue the debate, but Lu Yan gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, and then she saw Lu Yan wrote on the booklet:

"My grandson knows this, and this won't happen again."
