Chapter 358 I'll take care of it for you
The Third Imperial Concubine looked at Lu Xiang in surprise and said, "From what you mean, the Second Imperial Concubine took Tuanzi away without permission?"
If that's the case, then it's not her fault.
Lu Xiang pursed her lips and said nothing.
Upon seeing this, the Third Imperial Concubine immediately asked her personal maid to confirm it.
"Second brother, this matter was caused by our negligence. If Third brother wants to punish me, I will have no complaints." Third brother looked at Chu Chengli sincerely.
He knew the inside story better than the Third Imperial Concubine, and he also knew that the Second Imperial Concubine wanted to plot against Lu Xiang.
Not to mention that it was annoying enough that the woman was causing trouble in his house, but she even plotted against Lu Xiang. My uncle could tolerate it, but my aunt couldn't. Didn't she see who Lu Xiang belonged to?
So when Lao Ba wanted to help Lu Xiang fight back, he nodded without saying a word.
He provided the powder that made Tuanzi irritable, and he hired the maid to do the job.
Lu Xiang was not afraid of the Second Princess' revenge. They were already at loggerheads when she tried to plot against him.
Since Lu Xiang said so, the Third Prince has nothing to worry about.
As for whether his imperial concubine would eventually make the second imperial concubine hate him, he didn't care much. Anyway, after he joined the eighth brother's camp, he and the second imperial brother were already in an antagonistic relationship. As long as the second brother and the eighth brother competed for the throne, they would not get along well. But now they haven't torn their faces apart. In front of their father, they are still good brothers with deep affection.
However, the second imperial concubine's miscarriage was unexpected, which really proves the saying: you reap what you sow!
The maid came back soon and confirmed that it was the Second Imperial Concubine who took Tuanzi away.
Almost everyone in the palace knew that the Second Imperial Concubine loved the white cat and would hug it every time she came to the Third Prince's palace. So this time she wanted to take the cat away. Although the servant on guard was hesitant, he did not think much about it and asked someone to take the cat away because of the Second Imperial Concubine's guarantee.
As for why the Second Princess later asked Lu Xiang to take care of Tuanzi, no one could guess.
However, as soon as Lu Xiang asked someone to ask the Second Imperial Concubine to go find the cat, the Second Imperial Concubine went, which shows that what Lu Xiang said about the Second Imperial Concubine asking her to take care of Tuanzi was true.
The Third Princess looked at the Third Prince anxiously. Seeing that her husband had no intention of defending her, she said to Chu Chengli with an unnatural expression, "Second Brother, although Tuanzi's mistake was unintentional, it still caused a big disaster. I will hand it over to you for disposal."
At this point, basically everyone has understood the matter.
The Second Princess took the white cat away because she liked it, but for some reason she asked Lu Xiang to take care of it temporarily. Lu Xiang had no experience and let the white cat run away. She thought it was the Second Princess's pet so she asked someone to report to the Second Princess. Then the Second Princess went to the garden to look for the white cat under the guidance of her maid. After she finally found it, the white cat accidentally scratched her face because of its loss of control. She was frightened by the suddenness of the incident and fell into the lotus pond because she lost her balance.
This is an accident!
The Second Prince glanced at the Third Imperial Concubine indifferently. It was obviously a very ordinary glance, but it made the Third Imperial Concubine feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Is it because she feels guilty? Why does the look in the Second Prince's eyes when he stares at her seem so terrifying?
The Third Princess felt that she couldn't breathe smoothly. Suddenly, the gaze that was tightly pinching her neck moved away, and the Second Prince's gentle voice sounded lowly: "Even if it was an accident, why bother a beast? Jingshu is not feeling well, I will take her back first."
The Third Princess choked.
I don’t know whether the call of “beast” was directed at the white cat or at myself.
But even if she was scolded, she didn't dare to complain at this time.
This was the first child that the Second Imperial Concubine had been looking forward to for so many years. She had also experienced the pain of losing a child, so the Third Imperial Concubine understood very well how the Second Imperial Concubine felt at this moment.
After Chu Chengli finished speaking, he stood up and went into the inner room, personally picked up the Second Imperial Concubine and left.
Everyone looked at the two people's backs as they left, sighing. They didn't know whether they should sympathize with the Second Imperial Concubine for losing her child, or envy the deep love between her and the Second Prince.
Concubine Xu was feeling very embarrassed standing in the crowd. When the Second Prince left, he didn't even think of calling her. She could only keep comforting herself in her heart that it was because the Imperial Concubine had a miscarriage and the Second Prince was in a bad mood and couldn't take care of her for a while.
"Third Imperial Concubine, I will take my leave first." Concubine Xu bowed dryly as the Third Imperial Concubine.
The Third Princess nodded, with no intention of trying to keep him.
Her cat had killed the wife's child, so even if she tried to keep Concubine Xu, she didn't dare to.
As soon as Concubine Xu left, the Sixth Princess also left due to illness.
The others looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Finally, the Third Prince stood up and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. The Imperial Concubine and I have come to the palace to apologize to my father. I'm afraid we can no longer entertain you. I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality today." As he said that, he bowed to everyone.
Everyone hurriedly said they didn't dare and left one after another.
The Second Princess got into trouble at the Third Prince's house. Although it was not the Third Princess' fault, it was ultimately because of her cat. The Second Prince said he did not blame anyone because he could not find anyone to punish. If the Third Prince had not gone to the palace, the Emperor would have been furious when he knew about it. There is a huge difference between admitting a mistake voluntarily and admitting it after being discovered.
The Third Princess subconsciously did not want to enter the palace, but she knew that if she dared to say no, the Third Prince would definitely be even more disappointed in her.
Chen Rujin is almost bullying the Third Prince. If she continues to disgust the Third Prince, the position of the Third Princess will probably be handed over to someone else.
Before entering the palace, the Third Princess beat up the servant who was guarding Tuanzi. As for the white cat, no one knew where it had run off to. She didn't have the heart to look for the cat, so she followed the Third Prince into the palace.
Lu Xiang walked at the back, and when no one was paying attention after everyone else got on their horses, he quietly asked Chu Jinyan, who was lagging behind: "The Third Prince came to the palace to apologize, is everything okay?"
Chu Jinyan looked at Lu Xiang with eyes as deep as the sea, and said in a deep voice: "Don't care about other men."
Lu Xiang: “…”
I'm serious with you. You're being jealous for no apparent reason.
"After all, this matter was caused by me. I would feel bad if he was severely punished." Lu Xiang said.
Chu Jinyan reached out and quickly scratched the back of her hand: "I'll take care of it for you, don't worry."
Lu Xiang's heart skipped a beat and the tips of his ears felt hot.
"Then I'm leaving."
After saying that, she didn’t dare to look at Chu Jinyan, and walked away quickly with her head down.
Behind her, Chu Jinyan's low laughter floated into her ears with the wind, with a lingering meaning. Even a hint of sweetness floated in the air, making her heart beat like a thunder drum.
