Lu Ni said blankly, "Anyway, you're already convinced that I poisoned you, or more accurately, you want to keep me here to torture me. Even if I tell you, you won't let me go, will you?"
Gu Xin: "...You're not stupid after all! It's good that you have this awareness. So, Miss Lu, Prince Tian, please go to that room over there and order what you'd like for lunch. The cook will make it for you. You are not allowed to leave."
Lu Ni and Prince Tian Tian exchanged a glance, then said with disdain, "Who wants to share a room with him (her)?"
Gu Xin smiled and said, "It's alright. You two just don't like each other. I'll have someone put up a screen to separate you. Prince Tian, you're injured, so the other side of the bed is for you. Miss Lu, you're lively and energetic, so the other side of the recliner is for you."
Before Lu Ni and Prince Tian could say anything more, Lu Zheng spoke up directly: "Guards, take these two suspects away!"
Bai Yi and Bai Wu stepped forward directly.
The two were still dressed in the uniforms of the palace guards, and their aura was incomparable to that of ordinary yamen runners. In any case, Lu Ni obediently followed their orders.
Prince Tian Tian looked at Lu Zheng's cold face and wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that he had accidentally seen the white-clothed man's skills before, so he obediently followed.
The envoy from Dongzhe frowned, feeling that their eldest prince was now acting like an obedient child, having lost his domineering aura thanks to Princess Xinxin and General Lu.
But the eldest prince was the master, the one in charge, and he obediently went along; what could he say?
He could only chase after him and ask Prince Tian what he wanted to eat.
As for Lu Ni, Gu Xin and Lu Zheng didn't make things difficult for her. They told her to have the yamen runners from the Dali Temple ask her what she wanted or bring the lotus leaves over.
Lu Ni got angry as soon as she heard the name lotus leaf. She would rather be alone than have lotus leaves.
Over the years, she had gotten used to having He Ye serve her, and she would feel uncomfortable if someone else took her place. The main concern was that if she took someone else, it would be someone planted by Lu Zheng, and she would rather be alone.
After the two were led to the room, someone actually put a screen for them.
Although they were forbidden from entering or leaving, they were not allowed to be bored. In addition to the two of them, there were also Prince Tian's attendants and yamen runners from the Dali Temple guarding the house.
"Miss Lu, Princess Xinxin is your sister-in-law, right? How come you look much older than her?" Prince Tiantian, lying comfortably on the bed, mocked.
“I heard you’re only twenty, but you look much older than Lu Zheng. Actually, Lu Zheng is older than you,” Lu Ni replied in Dongzhe dialect.
“I’m thirty or forty and I’m still the same, who knows if he can? But what I’m sure of is that you’re thirty or forty, definitely older than Princess Xin Xin.” Prince Tian Tian was very cheeky.
"Get lost!" Lu Ni didn't want to talk to anyone anymore.
"Hey, no, let's talk! I'm so bored anyway. Look how good your future sister-in-law is to me, arranging for you to share a room with me. You speak Dongzhe dialect, so it'll be easier for us to communicate, right? Princess Xinxin really does care about me." The more Prince Tiantian talked, the more he felt it made sense.
Lu Ni curled her lips in disgust, then paused, stunned.
She understood again.
Gu Xin is too cunning; it turns out she had this intention in arranging for the two of them to share a room.
If it were someone else, they might not understand what Prince Dongzhe's followers were saying, but she could understand them.
Hmph, Gu Xin is really too insidious!
