Is there a hidden story behind Chapter 85?

Lu Yanshi couldn't bear to look at Lu Yuan's body.

After questioning several palace maids and confirming that she had committed suicide by cutting her wrists, she waved her hands wearily, signaling them to collect Lu Yuan's body.

He did not stay in the Weiyang Palace, but returned to his Taiji Palace alone.

He wanted to be alone.

Lu Li first played with Yuan Gungun, and then rescued Lu Xuanyi, and was exhausted.

She fell asleep as soon as she returned to Weiyang Palace. She didn't even have the time to complain in person. Lu Heng did the whole thing for her.

At this moment, she was sleeping and had no idea that Lu Yuan had died.

When she woke up, she wanted to know how her father and mother punished Lu Yuan. She used the gossip system to investigate and only then did she find out the news.

[Hey, didn’t Lu Yuan commit suicide? ]

When these words came out, Xia Shuyi, who was holding her, was stunned.

[Oh my god, this Ping'er is such a tough character. ]

[She actually killed Lu Yuan, and then deceived others by pretending that she had committed suicide by cutting her wrists? ]

When Xia Shuyi heard this, she subconsciously hugged her daughter tightly. Fortunately, the emperor was not there.

[Wait, the bad woman's death is also related to her? ]

[The bad woman didn't really want to die at that time, but Ping'er accidentally knocked over the stool she was standing on, so she died.]

Lu Li didn't expect to eat such a big melon today. This melon was really choking.

Xia Shuyi's heart was pounding.

Is there a hidden story behind the deaths of Lu Yuan and Xie Ruizhu?

She immediately made a decision to send Ping'er out of the palace.

Who knows if this person will suddenly "accidentally" harm her two children one day.

As for the deaths of the other two, they had nothing to do with her.

…

Lu Zhirong learned the whole story from Lu Xuanyi.

"You said the water lifted you up?" She looked at her daughter in surprise.

"Yes." Lu Xuanyi nodded.

"It was done by the Ninth Princess. She is very powerful."

"How can you be sure that she did it?" Lu Zhirong was skeptical.

"I heard her say that." Lu Xuanyi pouted, a little unhappy. Did her mother not believe what she said?

She is a good girl and won't tell a lie.

Only bad kids like the Fourth Princess would tell lies.

"Did you hear her talking?" Lu Zhirong was stunned and asked anxiously.

"Did she open her mouth when you heard it? Was that really what she said?"

Lu Xuanyi was startled by her eager attitude and stammered, "It seems, it seems not, I don't remember."

Lu Zhirong was a little panicked.

Why can everyone hear it, but she can't?

Shi Le told her that most concubines of lower ranks could hear it. Could it be that because her rank was higher than theirs and she was a concubine, she couldn't hear it?

But what about Xuan'er?

For a moment, she was confused.

After coaxing Lu Xuanyi to sleep, Lu Zhirong asked someone to invite Jiang Shile.

She has too many questions, and if no one listens to her, she will be driven crazy.

"How's Xuan'er?" Jiang Shile looked worried.

She has no children, and she and Lu Zhirong are like sisters, so she treats Lu Xuanyi as her own child.

I was extremely worried when I heard that she fell into the water.

"Xuan'er just choked a few times, it's no big deal." Seeing her concerned look, Lu Zhirong felt a little sour in her nose.

"That's good." Jiang Shile breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What on earth is going on?"

Lu Zhirong then told him what had happened before.

"Fortunately, the Ninth Princess is here!" Jiang Shi was extremely happy and relieved.

"She's just a child less than a year old. How could she possibly save Xuan'er? Are you overestimating her?" Lu Zhirong retorted subconsciously.

"Have you forgotten that last time the Second Prince wanted to throw the Ninth Princess into the water, he ended up being drowned and turned into a living dead. I guess the Ninth Princess is fluent in water and can control water, and she's very powerful." Jiang Shile stated his speculation.

Her guess was exactly the same as what Lu Xuanyi said. Lu Zhirong, who was originally unwilling to believe it, believed it all at this moment.

"Shile, I'm sorry." She lowered her head in shame.

"What's wrong?" She suddenly apologized, which made Jiang Shile a little confused.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you. I couldn't hear the little princess's voice." Lu Zhirong sniffed, feeling very guilty.

"Now you can hear the little princess's voice, Xuan'er can hear it too, but I can't. What should I do? Why is this happening?"

There was a hint of confusion and fear in her eyes.

"Alas." Jiang Shile sighed.

"I knew it a long time ago."

"What?" Lu Zhirong was shocked. When did she reveal her true colors?

Jiang Shile told her about what happened last time and also about how he tried to test Lu Yuan.

"I guess those who have bad intentions towards the little princess cannot hear her inner voice. She is a blessed person. Perhaps this is God's protection for her."

Lu Zhirong was startled and waved her hands repeatedly: "I have no bad intentions towards the little princess, I am just jealous of her... We are both princesses, why does the emperor favor her so much, but is unwilling to take time to come and see Xuan'er."

Her thoughts were exposed, and she felt embarrassed and angry, tears welling up uncontrollably.

"I swear I really didn't mean to hurt her!"

"I know, I know." Seeing her crying like this, Jiang Shile hurriedly hugged her to comfort her.

"Sister Rong, put aside your prejudice and think about it. Is it the little princess' fault that she is favored by the emperor? If you want to feel resentful, you should feel resentful for the emperor's injustice. How can you blame the little princess?"

Her words were like a ray of light, dispelling the fog that had been shrouding Lu Zhirong.

"Yeah, what's wrong with the little princess?" Lu Zhirong murmured to herself.

When children and kids don’t get along, it’s mostly because the parents don’t treat them equally.

Coming back to her senses, she pushed Jiang Shile in a reproachful manner: "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven, how can you blame the emperor? If this word gets out, you will be in big trouble."

Jiang Shi was glad to see that she was no longer so stubborn, and was happy for her. He smiled and hugged her arm even tighter: "Sister Rong will not spread this. I believe you."

Lu Zhirong untied the knot in her heart and made a decision.

Regardless of whether she could hear the Ninth Princess's voice in the future, she must not harbor any resentment.

The Ninth Princess saved her daughter and was her benefactor. She wanted to set up a longevity tablet for her and pray to the Bodhisattva every day, hoping that the Ninth Princess would live a long life.

…

The next morning, Lu Zhirong collected all the valuable items in the palace and ordered people to carry them to Weiyang Palace. Even Lu Xuanyi found her favorite wooden horse and wanted to give it to Lu Li.

Before leaving, Lu Zhirong specifically told her daughter not to tell anyone about what she had heard from Lu Li.

"If this matter gets out, some people will think the Ninth Princess is a monster. You don't want the Ninth Princess to get hurt, right?" Lu Zhirong coaxed her daughter gently.

Lu Xuanyi nodded: "Don't let anyone hurt my sister. My sister saved me, my sister is good! I am the elder sister, and the elder sister must protect the younger sister!"

She swore with her little fist clenched, and she looked so cute.

Lu Zhirong smiled and said, "Yes. Our Xuan'er will definitely be a good sister."

On the way to Weiyang Palace, she felt a little nervous, not knowing whether the Queen would forgive her for the crazy words she said yesterday.

She did something wrong and she accepted the punishment. She just hoped that the Queen would not be angry with Xuan'er.
