Chapter 1170 The Bustling Qingyun Palace

Today's classes ended early.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Lu Xingwan had already stepped into Qingyun Palace with brisk steps as usual.

But before she stepped into the palace, she saw from afar that there seemed to be a lot of people parked outside Qingyun Palace.

Lu Xingwan gradually approached, and his steps slowed down.

Everyone bowed and greeted her in unison. Lu Xingwan didn't recognize these people, but she thought that their masters should all be in Qingyun Palace.

But she had thought that Qingyun Palace would be extremely lively.

But unexpectedly, as she quickened her pace and walked into the main hall, she did not hear any extra sounds.

It was not until the door opened that she saw the scene in front of her.

Everyone was indeed gathered in Qingyun Palace, seemingly talking to her mother in front of them, but there was no laughter and joy as she had imagined.

Although there was some steaming tea on the table, the scene was somewhat gloomy.

Perhaps because Lu Xing came in late, everyone was stunned for a moment.

They all turned their heads to look in the direction of Lu Xingwan.

I have to say that Qingyun Palace is indeed lively today. Second brother, fourth brother, Pei Chuyan, and eldest senior brother are all here.

It was not until this time that Lu Xingwan discovered the abnormality.

Whenever I returned to Qingyun Palace, my mother would always greet me warmly and talk to me about the interesting things that happened in school that day.

But today, perhaps because there were other people around, my mother didn't pay any attention to me.

This is quite normal.

After all, there are many people in the hall now, but Lu Xingwan found something strange.

Although my mother's eyes were still gentle when she looked at me, at this moment they seemed to be shrouded in a faint haze.

The same goes for others.

Lu Xingwan frowned slightly, looked around at everyone present, and then spoke: "What happened?"

Pei Chuyan was the first to speak.

He just opened his mouth and uttered half a word when Prince Yu, who was standing beside him, stepped forward quickly and stopped him.

Prince Yu stepped forward quickly, half of his body blocking Pei Chuyan, and glanced at him with his head slightly tilted.

There seemed to be a hint of warning in that look, and when he spoke to Lu Xingwan again, there was a hint of panic in his voice.

"Nothing, today we are all free, so I came to talk to your mother."

But his action was too obvious.

Lu Xingwan is not that stupid. Her second brother's action just now was clearly meant to stop Pei Chuyan.

Moreover, the fact that my second brother was so secretive today must mean that something big had happened, and it must be something extremely important.

Lu Xingwan looked around but didn't see the Crown Prince.

Even if the second brother would come to Qingyun Palace to pay respects to mother, then it stands to reason that the fourth brother and Pei Chuyan would usually stay with the crown prince, but now, they don't.

So it’s something related to my brother the Crown Prince.

Just as she was about to ask, Lu Jingming stood up, strode to Lu Xingwan, pulled her in front of him, and stared at her seriously.

"The Emperor of Great Chu issued an order today. The entire family of the Crown Prince has been imprisoned."

No one expected Lu Jingming to speak of this matter so bluntly, and there was no respect for His Majesty in Lu Jingming's words.

He actually called him the Emperor of Great Chu.

But now, I don't care about etiquette anymore.

Everyone just looked at Wanwan anxiously.

Lu Xingwan was indeed surprised. She had a bright smile on her face just now. She guessed that maybe something went wrong with the Crown Prince, but she never expected that it was her father who issued the order.

She murmured to herself, "So, it was Father who ordered that the Crown Prince be imprisoned?"

The figure of Lu Yuanjing suddenly flashed through Lu Xingwan's mind, and she was surprised to realize that she did not seem to see him in the school today.

Is it because of this matter?

Lu Xingwan seemed to have figured something out in his mind for a moment.

She looked up at the senior brother in front of her and exchanged glances with him.

But no matter whether it was the eldest senior brother or others, they all looked very serious.

Lu Xingwan stood there for a long time, her mind was in a mess and many thoughts came to her mind.

I thought that my appearance might have had an impact on the content of this story.

The Crown Prince also changed his original ending, but looking back now, it is completely different.

In the end, we are back to the beginning.

The scene returned to when the emperor listened to the slander and put the crown prince into confinement.

But isn’t the Emperor extremely satisfied with my brother, the Crown Prince?

Regardless of what happened during the eight years that she was away, she knew that the Crown Prince had been very diligent during this time.

This can be seen from the mountain of memorials piled up in the Xingyang Palace.

The Crown Prince is busy with government affairs almost from morning till night.

It can be said that there has never been any slackness.

Over the years, whether it is providing relief to disaster victims, building water conservancy projects, or maintaining diplomatic relations, the prince has demonstrated his extraordinary decisiveness.

Even outsiders say that the Crown Prince is now deeply favored by the Emperor, and he handles the many tasks assigned by the Emperor of Great Chu in an orderly manner.

What's more, not only towards his superiors, and not only towards the people of the world, but also towards his younger brothers and sisters, the prince has always been very caring.

It was completely different from when Consort De was still alive.

Now, the second brother and the fourth brother are quite respectful to the crown prince.

She has even become his right-hand man. This alone is something that an ordinary prince would probably find difficult to do.

But if he is such an outstanding crown prince, why did my father send him to prison?

Lu Xingwan finally put aside his doubts and spoke with trembling lips: "Why?"

Song Qingyan never opened her mouth.

She knew that now that Wanwan knew about this, she would definitely not leave her brother, the crown prince, alone.

But she was not sure about many things regarding Lu Xingwan, so she just waited, waiting for Wanwan to speak.

She waited until everyone left before secretly asking Wanwan about the matter.

Among the few people, except Lu Jingming, Prince Yu is the oldest.

At this moment, the Crown Prince is not by his side, and he feels like his elder brother is like a father.

To be honest, he originally thought that since Wanwan was still young, some things were better kept secret.

But unexpectedly, Lu Jingming ignored all these and just said the matter directly.

In this case, there is no other way.

Forget it. Wanwan is a smart kid and has her own ideas.

Maybe she could help with some planning.

Besides, among them, the one she had known the longest was Lu Jingming.

Since he has known Wanwan for many years, he should be aware of Wanwan's temper.
