Chapter 73 I owe you another favor
Lu Xiang sat down opposite Chu Jinyan.
Chu Jinyan personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiang. The girl opposite him had skin as white as snow. He could clearly see the tiny hairs on her face glowing in the sunlight, which made him feel inexplicably good.
"How have you been since Concubine Zhen came back?"
Lu Xiang took a sip of tea and looked at Chu Jinyan, who suddenly showed concern for him, in astonishment. After a long while, he nodded hurriedly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine."
Chu Jinyan frowned slightly, Lu Xiang didn't tell her the truth.
Now the whole city has heard that Concubine Zhen likes the fourth daughter of the Lu family, and even the third daughter avoids the limelight. He doesn't believe that Lu Xiang will have an easy time.
"Tell me if you've been wronged." He went to get back at her expense.
Lu Xiang: "..." Eh? Why did she feel that this was a bit strange?
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Lu Xiang lowered his head to drink tea, one cup after another as if it were water.
Chu Jinyan didn't remind him. After Lu Xiang finished a glass, he poured another one. The corners of his cold mouth showed a hint of tenderness that he didn't even notice.
Lu Xiang herself didn't know how many cups she had drunk. In the end, she touched her stomach and suppressed the burp that was about to come out.
She burps in front of the Eighth Prince. Doesn't she have any dignity?
So no matter how uncomfortable it is, just swallow it back.
It's really rare to drink so much tea that you feel full.
Lu Xiang was so embarrassed that he just wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
"How is it, A'man? Is it convenient for you to use? If you don't like it, I can change someone else." Chu Jinyan suddenly asked, immediately diverting Lu Xiang's attention.
"Ah Man is fine, thank you, Your Highness."
At least for now, Ah Man truly worships her as her master, and her good skills make it much more convenient to take her out. Today, it was thanks to her that the Queen's people were rescued.
As he was thinking, Lu Xiang suddenly had a flash of light in his mind. He raised his head and smiled at Chu Jinyan: "Your Highness gave me a maid, so I will give Your Highness someone too."
She has curved eyebrows, a pair of crystal clear black eyes, and slightly upturned pink and tender lips, making her look pretty and charming.
Chu Jinyan raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"
"I heard that Marquis Wu'an has been looking for his lost legitimate son for years. I found him. He fled to Yangning City and was in a very poor state. When Ah Man found him, he had a high fever and was unconscious. Now I have placed him in Liuyang Inn for treatment. Your Highness, please take him back. The young prince will be very grateful to you. When the time comes, find a way to let him recognize Marquis Wu'an. Everyone in the He Mansion will be grateful to Your Highness."
It is only a matter of time before the Eighth Prince returns to the capital. The Emperor intends to make him the Crown Prince and will certainly build up power for him in secret. But before he returns to the capital, who knows that there is still an Eighth Prince alive in this world, and that he is the legitimate son of the former Queen. He is more legitimate than the Second Prince who is the leader of all the princes. All forces are ready to move, and Chu Jinyan will become a thorn in the eyes of all the princes.
To fight a way out among those princes who have already taken root in the capital is as difficult as cutting through thorns and brambles. Isn't the appearance of He Zhiyi a perfect opportunity for Chu Jinyan to win them over?
Originally, she had found He Zhiyi in advance because she wanted him to owe her a favor. Now that he gave this benefit to Chu Jinyan, not only would both of them benefit from it, but Chu Jinyan would also remember her kindness, which would be of great benefit to her.
Oh, she is so clever.
What's more, she also accepted 10,000 taels of silver from Chu Jinyan. She took two mountains from him for free, so she always wanted to give something in return.
"So when Sheng Xian said a few days ago that A'man was looking for someone, it was him." Chu Jinyan asked.
Although the support from the He family was not important to him, his heart softened when he thought about the connections that Lu Xiang gave him.
This girl finally started to miss him.
"kindness."
"How do you know he is the lost son of the He family?" Chu Jinyan asked in surprise.
The He family is a centuries-old family and is not comparable to the tiny Lu family. After searching for more than ten years without any results, Lu Xiang found it. This... is a bit magical.
Lu Xiang blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings: "This...keep it secret."
As long as she doesn't say it, no one will know why she knows that this young man is the eldest son of the He family.
Seeing this, Chu Jinyan did not ask any further questions: "Okay, I'll ask Sheng Xian to take the person back. I owe you a favor again, and I'll pay you back someday."
Hehehehehe…
The little girl in Lu Xiang's heart was waving her handkerchief and laughing. As long as she held on to the golden thigh tightly, it would be easier for her to abuse the scum.
"Oh... yes, yes, when I went to pick him up outside the city today, I accidentally saved someone. Later I found out that she was the current queen..." Lu Xiang suddenly said, then stretched his neck and asked mysteriously: "Is the emperor still with you, Your Highness?"
Chu Jinyan was stunned and looked at Lu Xiang in astonishment: "I haven't heard my father say that there are other arrangements for the queen, why did she sneak out of the palace?"
Well……
"I don't know." Lu Xiang shook her head and said, "She was being hunted down. Most of the guards and palace maids who accompanied her died, and only four were left alive." She had never heard of the question of why the Queen left the palace in her previous life, and even if the Queen was willing to tell her, she would not dare to ask.
Chu Jinyan said solemnly: "I will send someone to Liuyang Inn to take her back to the mansion later."
"No need, my father has already brought people there, he will escort the queen..." After a pause, she asked, "Does my father know that the emperor is in your house?"
She had ignored this problem. She knew it because Ah Man said that his father might not know that the emperor had come to Yangning City.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Xiang realized that he knew a lot!
The emperor always avoided being seen when he came to see his son, but he allowed Ah Man to tell him the news.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jinyan couldn't help but ask as she saw Lu Xiang looking at her with round eyes and a distressed expression.
Lu Xiang quickly collected his thoughts and shook his head fiercely: "Nothing."
Ahem... I was distracted accidentally.
"Your father knows that the emperor is in my house." Chu Jinyan said.
Lu Xiang: "Then he will send the queen directly to your house. Should we notify the emperor immediately?" Otherwise he will be scared.
"kindness."
"Your Highness, please be busy. I will take my leave first." Lu Xiang said as she quickly stood up and said, "The He family's young master is in Room 1. I will ask the maid to take you there."
The old woman she left there to take care of He Zhiyi didn't know Chu Jinyan's people, and if she saw strangers going there, she would definitely not agree to let them take the person away.
Chu Jinyan opened his mouth, wanting to ask Lu Xiang to stay a little longer, but when he thought of the person he was going to meet, he nodded helplessly.
