Chapter 3: Ungrateful Wolf

Lu Heng and Xia Shuyi were attracted by her laughter and looked over at the same time.

If they heard correctly, then the rain must have been caused by her, right?

[It seems that the old man Tiandao is still kind to me. He actually let me reincarnate with magical powers. ]

[Okay, I won’t scold you today.]

She looked up and saw the huge hole in the roof and started chattering again.

[Oh no, that was a mistake. I should have waited until the bad woman was out before drowning her. Now the roof is broken. What should I do?]

[No matter what, it's just a small roof. Daxia is not dead yet. Father should be able to handle it, right? ]

After Lu Li muttered to herself, she fell asleep with peace of mind.

When Lu Yanshi learned that Xie Ruizhu had broken into Yuxiu Palace, he guessed that she was there to cause trouble, so he hurried over.

Unexpectedly, I heard Lu Li's words as soon as I arrived.

He looked up at the roof with a big hole in it and fell silent.

Very good, no need to ask, this was caused by this amazing little princess.

"Yuxiu Palace is broken. You just gave birth and can't stand the shock. You need to rest well. Take Xiaojiu to move to Weiyang Palace temporarily." Lu Yanshi looked at Xia Shuyi.

Xia Shuyi never thought that she would turn a disaster into a blessing and move to the palace closest to the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift." She was surprised and happy, and thanked him quickly.

"Okay, you're not feeling well, so it's not appropriate for you to perform the formalities. You don't have to perform the formalities when you see me before Xiaojiu turns one month old." After Lu Yanshi said this, he glanced at the sleeping Lu Li, then turned and left.

Cao Dehai, the most capable eunuch beside the emperor, was ordered to help move the palace, with a smile on his face.

He understood that Concubine Xia was going to rise to great heights.

"Bu Xi is waiting outside. Madam Jieyu, please take the Ninth Princess to Weiyang Palace to rest first. This is just a small matter, so let us keep an eye on it."

"Thank you, eunuch. Please have some tea." Xia Shuyi took a look and the senior palace maid Lu Ruo beside him immediately took out a handful of golden beans and stuffed them into his hand.

Cao Dehai smiled so hard that he couldn't stop, and said that this was what he should do.

Lu Heng stood there in a daze, not yet recovering from the previous shock.

"Third Prince, it's time for you to go back to Changchun Palace to visit the Royal Concubine." Looking at his own son, Xia Shuyi felt sad.

But she had to push him away.

If he doesn't go back and care for the concubine now, others will say he is unfilial.

"Then can I go see my ninth sister tomorrow?" Lu Heng asked with blinking eyes.

"Of course." Xia Shuyi nodded.

"It's a deal then." Lu Heng then ran away happily.

Looking at his departing back, Xia Shuyi's eyes were filled with sad tears.

"Don't be sad, Your Majesty. You still have the little princess. The Third Prince will surely understand your difficulties in the future." Lu Wu spoke to comfort her.

"You are right." Xia Shuyi wiped away her tears, held her daughter in her arms, got on the walking stick, and headed for Weiyang Palace.

Xie Ruizhu was drenched in the rain all the way. She returned to her bedroom, took a hot bath and changed her clothes, but she still kept sneezing.

"Xia Shuyi is an evil and ominous creature. Why would I suffer so much for no reason when I went to her place?" Xie Ruizhu was furious.

"No, I have to go to the emperor and let him make the decision for me."

She stood up and went to look for Lu Yanshi.

Xuancao hurriedly stopped her and said, "The emperor has already been to Yuxiu Palace."

"What's the matter? Did the emperor punish her severely?" Xie Ruizhu's eyes flashed with a schadenfreude.

Xuancao shook her head and said with difficulty: "No, the emperor said that she had just given birth and could not live in Yuxiu Palace anymore, so he asked her to move to Weiyang Palace."

When Xie Ruizhu heard this, she felt as if she was struck by lightning.

"Impossible! Did you hear it wrong?" She grabbed Hemerocallis's hand tightly, refusing to believe it.

She was clearly the one being bullied, so how come Xia Shuyi got the advantage?

"I am telling the truth, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Xuancao quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Xie Ruizhu let go of her hand and fell into the chair in despair.

After a moment, she asked angrily, "Where is Lu Heng? He didn't even bother to care about me when my mother got caught in the rain and caught a cold?"

“A-choo!”

As she was talking, she sneezed again.

The palace maids did not dare to interrupt, for fear of angering her.

Xie Ruizhu said angrily, "It is indeed Xia Shuyi's offspring. He can never be brought up. Tomorrow I will tell the emperor that he is an ungrateful person and not filial at all. He is nothing like Yan'er."

Lu Heng was running to the palace anxiously when he heard these words.

He glanced at the bowl of hot ginger soup in his hand and stood there at a loss.

What does mother mean by this?

What is the seed of Xia Shuyi?

Isn't he his mother's biological child?

No, it's impossible. My mother treats him better than my second brother, how could he not be my mother's biological child?

With a "clang" sound, the ginger soup in his hand fell to the ground.

This movement attracted the attention of the palace people.

Xuan Lu took a look and found it was him. She was startled and asked hurriedly, "Third Prince, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. My mother is still angry, so I won't go in." Lu Heng said and ran away.

Xuanlu couldn't bear it, so she told the imperial concubine about it.

"The Third Prince just came. He came to give you some ginger soup. But he was young and unsteady, so he spilled it."

"I think he spilled it on purpose because he didn't want me to drink it." Xie Ruizhu was not grateful at all.

"Go and call the Second Prince. I don't want to see that ungrateful little bastard. I need to see my Yan'er."

"Yes." Xuan Lu agreed helplessly.

Although she sympathized with the third prince, she was powerless to do anything.

…

Lu Heng left Jingyang Palace in a panic.

Along the way, he tried desperately to convince himself that he was the child of the Imperial Concubine, but the words of the Imperial Concubine kept reappearing in his mind.

"The seeds of Xia Shuyi."

"It's not edible."

"Ignorant wolf."

"No comparison with Yan'er."

Every word pierced deeply into his heart.

His tears fell heavily, and before he knew it, he had run to the Weiyang Palace.

Xia Shuyi, this must be the nickname of Concubine Xia.

Is she his biological mother?

Lu Heng looked at the towering palace. He, who had always been fearless, suddenly felt timid.

He finally understood what his ninth sister meant by what she said today.

He is indeed as stupid as a pig.

Even his biological mother couldn't recognize him.

"Third Prince, why are you here?" Lu Ran came out to direct the palace servants to move things, and happened to see him standing outside and was startled.

"I want to see ..."

When the words came to his lips, he swallowed the three words "Xia Jieyu" and changed his words: "I want to see my ninth sister."

"Okay, please come with me." Seeing that he was willing to get close to the little princess, Lu Ran smiled and immediately led him into the palace.

If they can develop a good relationship as siblings, the Empress will certainly be very happy.
