Chapter 430 People Won’t Always Be Unlucky
When Jing Yuan came out of the Zen room, he saw Lu Jinye in the distance.
Why is he here? Is it the second young lady?
The Second Miss did not come today, but Princess Changle returned to the capital. Could it be that the Second Miss knew that the Emperor and His Highness were injured, so she came here on purpose?
No, the Second Miss said such cruel and heartless words to His Highness that day, how could she have done it for His Highness?
But if it's not for His Highness, who else could it be for?
Jing Yuan saw that Lu Jinye was looking at this side and had no intention of coming over, so he couldn't help but walk over out of curiosity.
"Want to know how His Highness is doing? Did the Second Miss ask you to come?"
Lu Jinye looked Jing Yuan up and down with a rather impolite look.
He said bluntly: "No."
Lu Jinye answered without hesitation, but Jing Yuan didn't believe it. "My prince is injured, so why worry about it, Miss? My prince is not the crown prince now, so Miss doesn't need to worry."
Lu Jinye felt that he might really be a fool with only skills but no brains.
"She didn't come."
Jing Yuan looked at him calmly, even as if he was looking at a fool, and frowned slightly, "Then why did you come here?"
Lu Jinye said honestly: "See if your Highness is dead or not."
Jing Yuan said in a deep voice: "Are you looking for death?"
Lu Jinye sneered and said disdainfully: "Can you beat me? It's useless. Judging from the looks of it, he should not be dead. If he was dead, you would have cried to the sky a long time ago."
After saying that, leave.
Jing Yuanqi's face was gloomy. Is there something wrong with him?
The sky gradually darkened, but the road from the capital to the National Temple was still bustling.
The Tianshu Camp was protecting the emperor's safety in the National Temple. The three judicial departments jointly investigated the case. The capital was under curfew and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and the people were in panic.
A white dove landed at the window of Yongning Pavilion. Zi Yuan walked over and skillfully took the thing off the pigeon's feet and placed it in front of Qiao Wanyan.
Qiao Wanyan opened it and took a look. Her expression changed slightly and she saw a maid walking over with a candle.
The letter was completely burned.
"Fortunately, I didn't go today, otherwise I would have been frightened."
Zi Yuan said: "Miss, you are so lucky, this is God's blessing!"
Qiao Wanyan said, "The capital has never had a curfew, but now that the military is banned from patrolling, the capital has finally calmed down after being noisy for many days. The appearance of this group of assassins is really a good idea."
The maidservants in Yongning Pavilion pretended not to hear such treasonous words.
The emperor had nothing to do with them. What did have something to do with them was that the second young lady paid them a monthly allowance. They only had to be loyal to the second young lady and they could get twice as much as the maids outside.
In other words, the servants serving in Yongning Pavilion will not be easily turned against, because they cannot earn as much outside as they do here.
If you are turned against, the end result will be the destruction of your family.
With a few people setting an example and using both kindness and force, they naturally did not dare and could not betray the second young lady.
Outside, a maid came in, holding a wooden tray in her hand.
"Miss, the Tenth Princess sent someone to deliver a piece of clothing."
The maid bent over and placed the tray in front of her. Qiao Wanyan reached out and touched it. It was made of the finest material, inlaid with pearls, all of which were extremely precious South China Sea pearls.
They are all the same size, with delicate and smooth texture, and each one is a top quality product.
Qiao Wanyan waved her hand, and Zi Yuan took the tray. The others left and the door was closed.
"This dress is worth a fortune. It has a unique style and luxurious fabric. It's really thoughtful."
Zi Yuan said: "The princess's Penglai Tower is making a fortune every day. The princess now is completely different from the unpopular princess before."
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything else, but took out a piece of folded paper from the secret pocket inside her dress.
There was a handwriting on it asking her to go out and play. Qiao Wanyan just glanced at it and then warmed the paper over the fire.
The dark handwriting gradually appeared.
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Qiao Wanyan threw the letter into the brazier, with the glaring red reflected in her eyes.
“But it’s very interesting.”
The corners of her lips raised a faint arc, "As expected, people will not always be unlucky. There must be a way out when the car reaches the mountain, and now the way is here, isn't it?"
Ziyuan didn't know what the young lady was talking about, but looking at her expression she knew it must be something good.
"Congratulations Miss!"
Qiao Wanyan chuckled, "Did Shen Lingyi go to the National Temple?"
Zi Yuan said: "I will go check it out."
After saying that, she turned around and left. After a cup of tea, Zi Yuan came back and said, "Miss, Shen Lingyi originally went to the National Temple. But she was assassinated on the way. Shen Lingyi was sent back by someone arranged by her brother. Now she is in the Shen Mansion."
"He is a man who loves his sister."
Shen Lingyi was a little bored at home. When she just came back a few days ago, everyone in the Shen family was very respectful to her. Her grandfather and father also cared about her very much and sent people to ask about her health every day.
But ever since Concubine Shu came back from her birthday celebration that day, the wind direction in the mansion has gradually changed.
She understood that her grandfather felt that he had lost the Shen family.
My father has always favored his second wife, and he only favored me because I had just returned and my grandfather valued me and wanted me to marry into a wealthy family, so he also paid attention to me.
As for love, she felt that her father didn't love her at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through all these years without visiting me once, or even writing me a letter.
Therefore, it would be better to go out and relax rather than stay in the mansion and be laughed at by those servants.
However, the capital is now under martial law, and all restaurants and teahouses are closed at night. Shen Lingyi walked around the street and then returned home. The next morning, she went to Mingyue Tower for breakfast.
I just don’t know why, although the capital is under martial law and there are far fewer people on the streets than usual, the lobby on the first floor of Mingyue Tower is packed early in the morning.
"My lady, you see that the first floor is full. You can tell from the looks of it that you are a lady from a noble family. It would be a loss of status to be crowded with these grown men on the first floor. Why don't you go to the private room upstairs?"
A waiter nearby immediately said, "The private rooms upstairs are all full, and there is only one room left on the third floor."
Chu Lu said, "Then our lady will go to the private room on the third floor. Lead the way."
The waiter was a little embarrassed: "Miss, this private room on the third floor has always been reserved for our distinguished guests. It's difficult to give it to you."
Chu Lu said in a deep voice: "Distinguished guest? My young lady is the granddaughter of the Prime Minister. Can't she enter the private room of a small restaurant like yours?"
The waiter had no choice but to take them to the private room on the third floor.
A table full of delicious tea and food was served. Shen Lingyi looked at the exquisite dishes. She had no appetite for several days, but suddenly her appetite was stimulated and she picked up her chopsticks to eat.
It was at this time that Qiao Wanyan came in holding the little fox.
The moment Shen Lingyi saw her, the chopsticks that were half extended froze in mid-air. After seeing the little fox in her arms, she immediately stood up and backed away.
Chu Lu hurriedly said, "Second Miss Qiao, my daughter has asthma, please take this fox out!"
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, Asthma?
She raised her lips and smiled, holding the little fox and walked towards Shen Lingyi.
