Chapter 1217 I Beat Lu Xingyan

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Xingwan finally raised his head, stared firmly at his mother in front of him, and took a deep breath: "Mother, I beat Lu Xingyan on the palace road outside Longsheng Palace."

Lu Xingwan said this with great determination.

As she said this, the atmosphere in the room, which had been quite warm, suddenly became tense.

Song Qingyan couldn't help but tighten her grip on Lu Xingwan's hand, while Jin Xin, who was preparing afternoon tea for Song Qingyan, heard this and the spoon in her hand suddenly lost control and fell uncontrollably onto the table.

Following this sudden sound, Jinxin and Jinyu both turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction of the princess.

They knew that the princess had been at odds with the seventh princess since she returned to the palace.

Or it could be said that the Seventh Princess was unilaterally picking on the Princess.

But they didn't expect that the princess would treat the seventh princess in this way. This behavior... was really bold.

They were even a little skeptical, but when they met Lu Xingwan's extremely determined eyes, they felt that this was probably true.

They did not dare to move. They just looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on the faces of the queen and the princess.

When Song Qingyan came back to her senses, she loosened her grip on Lu Xingwan's hand a little: "Wanwan, it's okay."

"Can you tell mother about this?"

Song Qingyan had figured it out at this time. No matter why Wanwan hit the Seventh Princess, even if Wanwan was wrong today, she would stand firmly by Wanwan's side.

Song Qingyan's gentle questioning made Lu Xingwan feel a little aggrieved. She pursed her lips and her eyes were slightly red, but the tears did not fall.

But when he opened his mouth to speak, his voice was choked with sobs.

"Mother, Lu Xingyan said something rude to you, and I was so angry that I took action."

Lu Xingwan was also afraid that her mother would feel sorry for Lu Xingyan. After all, she knew how good her mother had been to Lu Xingyan over the years.

Besides, my mother is a kind person. If she knew that I beat Lu Xingyan like that, she would be angry, right?

She had even prepared herself that her mother would blame her for this matter, but unexpectedly, after hearing this, Song Qingyan just chuckled and patted her hands gently.

"What do I think it's a big deal? It's nothing, don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry, Wanwan. If your Concubine Wen comes looking for you today, or if your father or your elder brother comes looking for you, mother will stop them for you."

At this moment, Song Qingyan's heart was already very firm.

She knew that Wanwan had never been an impulsive child, and she must have her own reasons for doing things.

The most important thing is that no matter what, I must stand firmly by Wanwan's side.

Or you can go to Xingyan's place quietly by yourself.

"If you feel guilty, let's go see Xingyan together some other day."

After hearing what Song Qingyan said, Lu Xingwan shook her head without hesitation, and said decisively: "I don't feel guilty. She deserved to be beaten today."

"She said such outrageous words, I will not forgive her, I better hold back today! Otherwise..."

The last person who dared to insult someone close to her in this way is now reduced to ashes.

Looking at Lu Xingwan's serious expression, Song Qingyan couldn't help but smile.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I'm not surprised.

But she knew that although Wanwan looked naughty, that might be how she looked when she was in the world of immortal cultivation.

After coming to this mortal world, she had her own awareness as a cultivator, so she always acted calmly.

Such an impulse as today's is rare.

But she knew that since the matter had developed to this point, Wanwan must be furious.

She also knew that Wanwan did this today to protect herself, so at this moment, she must stand firmly by Wanwan's side.

"Okay, if Wanwan says she doesn't want to go, then we won't go."

Seeing Song Qingyan's considerate look, Lu Xingwan felt more guilty. She lowered her head slightly and spoke a little softer.

"But I am worried that my mother's reputation will be ruined. I am worried that my mother will be affected in the palace because of this. If this incident causes any trouble for my mother, I will be even more uneasy."

After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, Song Qingyan felt even more distressed. She gently held Lu Xingwan in her arms and stroked her back: "Child, mother is a general who has fought on the battlefield. How could she be affected by these things?"

"Don't think about it. Nothing else matters. In my heart, as long as you are happy, that's all that matters."

Although Song Qingyan said so, Lu Xingwan still felt heavy in his heart.

Of course, she still felt guilty.

However, this guilt was naturally not towards Lu Xingyan, but towards his mother.

However, after Lu Jinning left in anger, she still felt something was wrong.

This matter has caused such a big fuss, I think I should tell my father.

After pausing for a moment, he finally turned around and wanted to walk towards Longsheng Palace. However, after taking two steps, he suddenly realized something, so he turned around again and went towards Xingyang Palace.

Now that my father no longer cares about the affairs of the harem, it would not be a good idea for me to go up and disturb him.

And I’m afraid that my father won’t care.

I should go find my older brother.

Lu Jinning hurried all the way towards the Xingyang Palace. Perhaps because of his anxiety, he almost fell down several times along the way, but he did not care about anything else and continued to run quickly towards the Xingyang Palace.

But he did not expect that Xingyang Palace would be so lively today.

Although the outside of the Xingyang Palace was still as quiet as usual, when he entered the courtyard, he heard conversations coming from inside the palace.

He seemed to hear the voice of his second brother.

To be honest, the second brother hurried back to the palace because the news of the ninth sister's return to the palace reached Yong'an County.

I just heard that after meeting the ninth sister, the second brother was actually preparing to return to Yong'an County.

I heard that everything had been arranged for my second brother's return, and he was just waiting for a day to set off. But I didn't expect that my father would suddenly announce his abdication.

This incident naturally shocked everyone.

Naturally, this also disrupted the second brother's original plan.

It was Zhongping who came out to greet Lu Jinning. Zhongping had served Emperor He for many years and could be considered an elder around him. People from top to bottom in the palace respected him very much.

As soon as she entered the hall, Lu Jinning saw her fourth brother.

I heard from my mother that my fourth brother has been studying with his eldest brother since he was in his teens.
