Chapter 103 Night King Concubine



There is no wall that is impenetrable. The incident in Zhaoren Palace was discussed in the palace the next day. For a time, all the concubines in the palace envied Lu Yanluo's good life.

The next day, Luo Jingxuan.

Lu Yanluo and Cheng Ruoxue sat opposite each other, with two pastries and a pot of tea in front of them.

Early this morning, Cheng Ruoxue sent an invitation to Prince Ye's Mansion and asked Lu Yanluo to come out for tea.

The two of them had been sitting here for a while, and Cheng Ruoxue had been looking at Lu Yanluo with a half-smile, which made people feel creepy.

"Okay, Sister Cheng, please be kind and stop looking at me! Is there a flower blooming on my face? How can I let you keep looking at it?" Lu Yanluo begged for mercy and quickly poured a cup of new tea for Cheng Ruoxue.

Cheng Ruoxue tapped Lu Yanluo's forehead teasingly: "You don't know how lucky you are. Do you know how many people envy you now?"

Lu Yanluo was even more confused: "What do you envy me for?"

Ever since returning from Lushan, Lu Yanluo has been away from her two little darlings for many days and has been accompanying Chu Yao and Chu Yuan in Yunyayuan. She has not heard about what is happening in the palace.

Cheng Ruoxue looked at Lu Yanluo in surprise: "Didn't your prince tell you? I heard that the day before yesterday, Concubine Lin came to your prince and threatened him with the testimony of Concubine Yun, asking him to marry Princess Zhaohe Zhongxiu as his concubine. It is said that the prince didn't even think about it at the time and flatly rejected Concubine Lin."

Cheng Ruoxue said with some emotion: "Yanluo, you have a good husband. He really cares about you. The matter of Concubine Yun must have been a long-cherished wish of the prince. He can give up the opportunity of this investigation for you, which is enough to show how much he values ​​you."

Lu Yanluo stared at Cheng Ruoxue blankly, as if thinking about something.

"Yanluo? What's wrong?" Cheng Ruoxue pushed Lu Yanluo: "Why are you in a daze?"

"No." Lu Yanluo came back to her senses, picked up the tea in front of her and drank it all.

When she returned home in the evening, it was already past dinner time. She asked the servants beside her and learned that Chu Xuan had stayed in the study after dinner and had not gone out. Lu Yanluo pondered for a moment and went to the small kitchen.

Not long after, Lu Yanluo knocked on the study door holding a bowl of sweet soup.

Chu Xuan stood up and walked closer, took the sweet soup from Lu Yanluo's hand and placed it on the table, and asked, "When did you come back?"

Lu Yanluo smiled and said, "An hour ago, I came back and heard that the prince had been busy in the study after dinner. I had nothing to do anyway, so I made you a bowl of sweet soup with pumpkin, sweet potato and other easy-to-digest ingredients. Please have some, Your Highness."

Chu Xuan was flattered. This was the first time that Lu Yanluo took the initiative to bring him food. Chu Xuan drank it happily without thinking.

But he didn't notice that there was anything wrong with Lu Yanluo.

Chu Xuan put down the bowl with a satisfied look on his face, overjoyed: "A'Luo, today I..." But before he could finish his words, Chu Xuan felt dizzy and in a trance, a pair of arms supported him from the side.

Chu Xuan tried his best to stay awake, but he was unable to resist the invasion of darkness and fainted in an instant.

Lu Yanluo looked at the sleeping person with a complicated expression, then sighed.

Today, Cheng Ruoxue mentioned the matter of arranged marriage, but Chu Xuan did not mention a word to her after returning home. Lu Yanluo knew that Chu Xuan refused the arranged marriage because of her.

Although she was touched, she still felt guilty. She couldn't let Chu Xuan give up such important evidence because of her.

Lu Yanluo knew the importance of Concubine Yun's matter to Chu Xuan. What he had been planning for many years was to clear the name of the injustice done and restore Concubine Yun's name.

Lu Yanluo didn't want Chu Xuan to give up because of her, and she didn't want Chu Xuan to regret it in the end.

"Shen He." Lu Yanluo summoned Shen He and said, "Go to the palace and tell Concubine Lin that the prince agreed to her conditions, but she must hand over the evidence first. As long as she hands over the evidence, the door of the Yewang Mansion will be opened to Princess Zhaohe. Otherwise, there will be no discussion."

Shen He hesitated after hearing this, glanced at Chu Xuan who had his eyes tightly closed, and said with embarrassment: "Princess, the master's original intention was to refuse. If he wakes up..."

"Do as I say." Lu Yanluo stood up and said firmly, "I will explain it to you when your Highness wakes up."

Chu Xuan slept for three full days before he slowly woke up.

"Shen He." Chu Xuan rubbed Hun Dun's forehead and asked, "What time is it? How long have I slept?"

Shen He paused and said, "Master has been asleep for three days. While the master was asleep, the princess had already obtained the confession of Prince Jin. And you were unconscious yesterday. His Majesty issued an imperial decree to grant you and Princess Zhaohe a marriage. The princess personally received the decree and has brought Princess Zhaohe into the palace and made her a concubine."

Shen He reported to Chu Xuan concisely everything that had happened in the past three days.

Chu Xuan instantly recalled the bowl of sweet soup that Lu Yanluo had brought to the study. What was there to not understand? Lu Yanluo had deliberately knocked him out and had resolved everything in advance in order not to embarrass himself.

"Where is the princess now?" Chu Xuan asked hoarsely, his eyes filled with emotions that were out of control.

"My Lord, the princess is currently at Yunya Garden accompanying the prince and the young lady." Shen He hesitated for a while, and finally said, "My Lord, the princess did this for your sake. I hope you won't blame her."

Shen He saw everything that happened in the past few days and couldn't bear to see Lu Yanluo's kindness being wasted.

"This king knows."

Upon learning that Lu Yanluo was now in Yun Yayuan, Chu Xuan could not wait any longer and rushed directly to Yun Yayuan to see Lu Yanluo.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the gate of Yunya Garden, a baby voice was heard, Chu Yuanyu stopped Chu Xuan with a crying tone: "Daddy is not allowed to come in, Daddy is not good to Mommy, you can't come in!"

During these three days, although Chu Yuan and Chu Yao were young, they could clearly feel their mother's unhappiness. Sometimes they would sit by the window in a daze for an entire hour.

Although Chu Yuan is young and ignorant, Chu Yao is sensible.

The person who came to deliver the imperial edict yesterday brought a woman with him and stayed in the mansion.

It's self-evident what it does.

Chu Xuan squatted down in front of Chu Yuan and Chu Yao, and said softly, "Daddy has something important to tell your mother. Can you let Daddy in first?"

Chu Yao pulled Chu Yuan over, straightened his back, and looked directly at his father in front of him: "Mother said that she didn't blame you for the arranged marriage this time. No matter what woman marries in, mother won't mind. She told father that he doesn't have to give up such an important confession for her. Everything should be based on the overall situation."

Chu Xuan's heart ached, and his already pale face looked even more haggard: "Let Daddy go in and see your mother. Daddy has something to say to her."

Unexpectedly, Chu Yao shook his head and said directly: "Mother said that she is a little tired these days and doesn't want to see anyone."

Chu Xuan felt even more distressed when he heard this.
