Chapter 35 Bubbles



Such a woman possesses profound inner qualities.

She didn't know that the Lan sisters were famous in the capital back then. They had countless suitors.

Even the matriarch of the Yan family, Madam Wang, actually came from a prominent clan, but her clan was not located in the capital.

Therefore, even if Lan died young, Yan Nan's family education would not be bad.

The original owner did indeed absorb many things subtly, but the current Yan Nangui is more a product of his past life and those wandering years.

"Sister Luo, have some tea," Yan Nangui said with a smile.

It was Luo Kui and a few others who served hot tea.

It's freshly brewed goji berry and red date tea, perfect for winter.

Luo Liangyuan took a sip and then laughed, "This is good stuff. These dates were sent from Ganluo, right? Ganluo dates?"

"Is Sister Luo really that amazing? I had no idea," Yan Nangui said with a smile.

“It’s not that I’m particularly good. My home is there, in a county under Ganluo Prefecture. You don’t know, Ganluo Prefecture’s dates are good, but the best ones are these small ones, but they taste amazing. These kinds of dates are usually sent to the capital. Others can’t get them.” Luo Liangyuan smiled.

“That’s true. All the good things in the world are always sent to the capital.” Yan Nangui didn’t pay much attention to this thing, which was obviously not something that could be distributed everywhere even if it was sent to the capital.

“Indeed, you and I, living in this Crown Prince’s residence, are able to savor the finest things in the world.” Luo Liangyuan took another sip.

"Sister, is there something you want to say? You look troubled," Yan Nangui asked.

"As you probably know, I had a miscarriage last year." Luo Liangyuan shook her head. "After I found out I was pregnant, I was extremely careful and attentive. I didn't dare to tell anyone before I was three months pregnant. But I still miscarried for no reason. It was the same doctor from the prefecture who had been dismissed a few days ago. He only said that the pregnancy was unstable."

She snorted: "It's like how the women in the backyard who get pregnant and miscarry are all considered to have unstable pregnancies. In the end, no matter how much they were investigated, they couldn't find the answer. I was just suspicious myself, so I chased away the two maids."

"I think that Ding Zhaoxun's miscarriage today will not end well."

"Yeah, who cares if she miscarries?" Yan Nangui said with a mocking smile.

What the Crown Princess cared about was whether she could take the opportunity to suppress Consort Ye.

Su Liangdi shared the same thought.

If the Crown Prince cared, Ding Zhaoxun wouldn't have miscarried so easily.

The Empress wouldn't care; she probably just wanted Consort Ye to give birth to her eldest son.

Although there is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, an illegitimate child can become a legitimate child.

Isn't this what everyone is striving for?

So, either someone is randomly chosen to take the blame, or this matter will simply be forgotten.

Ye Liangdi was tricked, and it was clear that she was not the one who did it.

Therefore, neither the Crown Princess nor Consort Su can be blamed. Because she has the Empress and the Ye family behind her.

And the person who can do this...

This must be why Luo Liangyuan came.

Sure enough, there are always more smart people than fools in this household.

“My sister is intelligent, while I come from a humble background and am not as capable as her. I have only been a concubine for two years, and I am not sure if I can hold on to my position,” Luo Liangyuan sighed.

"Sister Luo, don't worry. If anything happens, just ask His Highness for help," Yan Nangui said with a smile.

Luo Liangyuan asked in confusion, "I'm afraid His Highness... won't care."

"Sister Luo, then I'm afraid I can't help you," Yan Nangui said with a smile.

Luo Liangyuan frowned, then relaxed, and suddenly smiled: "My sister is indeed intelligent."

"You're too kind, sister."

After exchanging a few witty remarks, Luo Liangyuan left.

Yan Nangui saw her to the door, and only after watching her walk away did he chuckle and shake his head.

The girls were all puzzled.

However, there's no need to explain why Yan Nangui is returning south.

Meanwhile, Luo Liangyuan returned to Tingfeng Garden with her trusted maid.

After changing clothes and having tea served, the maid Zhiyu asked, "Why didn't I understand? What were you and Consort Yan talking about?"

Zhiyu came with Consort Luo and had been serving her since childhood, so she was naturally loyal.

He's also quick-witted and outspoken.

“She’s reminding me that as long as my father is here, I’ll be fine.” Luo Liangyuan sighed. “This time, with Ye Liangdi protected, she naturally won’t be forced to admit it. Su Liangdi can’t fall, and the only people left who have the ability to do this are a few. From any perspective, I’m the most vulnerable.”

She bit her lip: "If the battle of wits among everyone comes down to me, I won't be able to hold on."

"So you went to Yan Liangyuan's place because you thought she might also be framed? What if... what if she was the one who did it?"

"Impossible. She and I are the same; neither of us has any reason to do this."

"Then... if someone really slanders you, will it be of any use asking His Highness?" Zhiyu asked worriedly.

"I think so. You know, before I entered the manor, my father was just a county magistrate. Could you have imagined that I would become a concubine as soon as I entered the manor?"

Zhiyu suddenly realized: "Yes, now, sir is the governor of Philadelphia."

What does this mean? It means that what His Highness the Crown Prince has his eye on is the Master's talent.

Since that's the case, then he must protect Luo Liangyuan, at least to prevent her from being framed arbitrarily.

The master and servant breathed a sigh of relief.

As the wild geese flew south, Yan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, thinking that Shu Chengfeng had played his chess piece well.

This Prefect Luo was by no means the only local official favored by the Crown Prince.

Yes, in the capital, with His Majesty relentlessly pursuing and intercepting them, it won't be easy for the Crown Prince to win people over.

But should we start from the local level?

Several years ago, they began cultivating minor officials like Prefect Luo.

They may seem insignificant, but what happens when there are many such insignificant pawns?

What if one day enough people gather?

Moreover, even a lowly soldier can grow stronger. For example, a county magistrate eventually became a prefect.

What will the governor become?

How many more pawns like this are there?

Just as he was pondering this, the sound of someone greeting him came from outside; it was the Crown Prince.

Yan Nangui stood up, and the Crown Prince had already entered.

"Why are you lying down in broad daylight? Are you uncomfortable?" Shu Chengfeng asked with a smile.

"No, I was just bored. Your Highness, did you just finish court?" Yan Nangui asked.

"Yes, after court I returned home and dealt with some trivial matters," Shu Chengfeng said.

These trivial matters must be things that happen within the household.

"Your Highness has worked hard." Yan Nangui poured him tea.

"Why doesn't Tang'er ask me what's going on?" Shu Chengfeng took the tea.

"How did Your Highness know I wouldn't ask? It's just that I haven't had a chance yet," Yan Nangui said with a smile as he sat down.

"What matter did Your Highness handle?"

Shu Chengfeng saw that she was putting on an act and didn't expose her: "The pharmacy clerk who asked Ding Zhaoxun to buy medicine confessed that he had put in the wrong pill. He was sorting out the pills at the time and was distracted for a moment, so he put it in the wrong one."

"That guy really deserves to die. What kind of medicine is this? How can he just mess around with it like that?" Yan Nangui shook his head.

And they didn't expose this bubble-like truth.
