Chapter 381 Changes
"Your Highness, you are making groundless guesses. Lu Jing would not do such a thing. It's not that he likes me and won't hurt Nian Qing, but he knows that if he kills Nian Qing, he will have to kill me too. Otherwise, I will definitely return to Huainan. Huainan has lost Nian Qing, but it still has me, and Xilin has surrendered again. My relationship and ties with Xinan are stronger than Nian Qing. If I become the King of Huainan, the probability of Xinan and Huainan uniting will be greater. Therefore, Lu Jing would never do anything to hurt Nian Qing, unless he kills the mother and keeps the son, and kills me as well. Your Highness, I know you are worried about Nian Qing, and I am worried too, but we are in the capital, and they are still on the way. They don't know what happened yet, so don't be suspicious of each other for now. Nian Qing is the bridge between the Princess's Mansion and the Regent's Mansion. We all know his importance. We still have a long way to go together. If we are suspicious of each other from the beginning, the road ahead will be difficult." Su Qingwan was very pale after giving birth, and it was inevitable that she would reveal weakness in front of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess also heard it. She was too worried about Nian Qing, so she couldn't help but assume the worst of Lu Jing. Su Qingwan was more rational than her.
"Princess, are you only taking pictures of one person following Nian Qing?"
The princess said helplessly, "I had three close confidants who followed Nian Qing to protect him. Because they were exposed, Nian Qing complained about it. Nian Qing sent the people back, and we got into trouble."
Su Qingwan understood. No wonder Nian Qing hadn't even given the princess a New Year's gift. Perhaps she felt uncomfortable that the princess had someone monitoring her. But he was still young, and fighting on the battlefield was bound to be dangerous. The princess was trying to protect him, but the child was older, already the King of Huainan, and didn't want the princess's protection.
Su Qingwan knew the eldest princess's worries and comforted her. She would also wait for news from Lu Jing. She had received news from Liancheng a few days ago. According to the time, he should arrive in the capital in five or six days.
Lu Jing estimated the date of her delivery and rushed back, thinking that he would be able to make it back in time and would not be delayed too long on the road, unless something really happened to Nian Qing.
Su Qingwan was a little worried, afraid that something might really happen to Nian Qing.
"He shouldn't have returned to Beijing."
The eldest princess did not want Nianqing to return to the capital. The capital was full of dangers, and the open and hidden attacks were more dangerous than on the battlefield, especially after Xilin surrendered. There was such a big piece of fat meat in Huainan, and everyone wanted to eat it. Nianqing was too young to understand the changes and dangers of the situation, nor did she know what Xilin meant to Huainan.
In fact, he might not be unaware of this. Marquis Ningyuan and General Chen would tell him the pros and cons. Nianqing was a smart child and would know what was going on.
The court officials may not let him go.
The eldest princess sighed, "How's Xiaoyu'er? Did your delivery go smoothly?"
"It went smoothly." The atmosphere became much more harmonious when the child was mentioned. The wet nurse brought Xiaoyuer over to show the princess. Xiaoyuer was full and fell asleep without crying. The princess personally gave Xiaoyuer a longevity lock and teased him for a while. Then the wet nurse took the child away.
The eldest princess originally thought that after Su Qingwan and Lu Jing got married, she and Su Qingwan could join forces to suppress Lu Jing, and they could control the situation in Huainan and the court.
Now it seems unlikely!
Su Qingwan and Lu Jing would be of one mind because she has her own blood relatives. No one knows better than the eldest princess what a mother can do for her child, just like she did back then.
But she would not say anything to Su Qingwan anymore. She could only take one step at a time. Plans could not keep up with changes, so she could only let things take their course and make timely adjustments.
