Lu Junyuan stayed in the study all night. Yu Ning tried everything to consummate their marriage, but Lu Junyuan always refused, saying he was worried about her health.
Everything was going wrong, and coupled with her weak health and severe headaches, Yuening's temper became increasingly irritable, and she would often beat or scold the servants.
"Mu Hua, go to the Night Alliance again and ask them if they know where Zhao Ruojin is and why they haven't made a move yet," Yue Ning said, pressing her temples with both hands.
"Yes, Princess." Mu Hua accepted the order and left.
Mu Hua arrived at Hua Yue Lou wearing a veil. The waiter led her to a private room where someone was already sitting.
After the waiter closed the door, Mu Hua took off her veil and knelt before the person wearing a half-silver mask.
"Greetings, Alliance Leader."
"What's the situation with the princess?" the Night Alliance leader asked.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, the Princess has tried everything, but the Prince Consort still hasn't consummated the marriage with her. She even sent people to look for Madam Jiang, but they couldn't find her. The Princess sent me to ask the Night Alliance why they haven't made a move yet. She's very weak; she gets out of breath after walking just a few steps," Mu Hua replied truthfully.
"Consummate the marriage? Heh, with that filthy body, how could Young Master Lu possibly touch her? Madam Jiang isn't in the city, where could she possibly find someone? Mu Hua, just bear with it a little longer, your revenge will come soon."
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"
"Take this letter back to Young Master Lu and tell him that everything is ready and we are just waiting for dawn." The Night Alliance leader took out a letter and handed it to Mu Hua.
"Yes, Alliance Leader." Mu Hua took the letter and left Huayue Tower.
After reading the letter, Lu Junyuan burned it on a candle, a hint of worry on his face.
The whole city is currently searching for spies. Although he knows that Su Ruojin and the others are no longer in the city and should be safe, he is worried that under these circumstances, Su Ruojin might take Yuan Hong back to Da Chu directly.
Without the Second Prince, all our years of hard work would have been in vain.
At this moment, a servant from the princess's residence came to report, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister is ill and requests your return."
Upon hearing that his father was ill, Lu Junyuan became anxious and told the princess that he needed to return to the Prime Minister's residence.
When Yuening heard that her father-in-law was ill, she wanted to go with him, but Lu Junyuan said that she was not in good health and didn't need to go, and that he would be right back.
Watching Lu Junyuan's hurried departure, Yuening remained silent, lost in thought.
"Mu Hua, get ready, I'm going to the Imperial Preceptor's residence."
Prime Minister Lu is ill, but it's just a common cold, nothing serious.
Upon seeing Lu Junyuan return, Prime Minister Lu couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Yuan'er, the Second Prince has decided to stay."
Lu Junyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. "Father, is it true?"
Prime Minister Lu took out a letter and handed it to Lu Junyuan, saying, "This is a letter sent by the Regent."
Lu Junyuan hurriedly took it, quickly read it, and exclaimed excitedly, "Great, great! In this way..." He stopped abruptly.
He understood the principle that walls have ears.
"The great undertaking is about to succeed. You should spread the word and our people should get ready."
"Yes, Father, I'll do it right away."
Lu Hong reached out and patted Lu Junyuan on the shoulder, "Yuan'er, just bear with it a little longer, you'll be able to get rid of that woman soon."
......
When Lu Junyuan returned to the princess's residence, she found that Yuening was not there. The servants told her that Princess Yuening had gone to visit the Imperial Preceptor, but Lu Junyuan did not think much of it.
After Yue returned to the princess's residence, Mu Hua invited Lu Junyuan, "Prince Consort, the princess invites you to have dinner together."
"Alright, tell the princess I'll be there soon."
Lu Junyuan changed his clothes and came to the warm pavilion, where he saw a table of food already laid out.
Looking at Lu Junyuan, who was dressed in purple, Yue Ning felt his tall and handsome figure was even more striking, and her smile deepened.
Lu Junyuan, Lu Junyuan, let's see how you try to hide today.
