Hearing that Long Moxun rescued a woman on the street, Prince Rui frowned when he received the news.

In the past, he had some doubts about the relationship between Long Mo Xun and Luo Xu Ning, but today, it seems that Long Mo Xun really values ​​Luo Xu Ning very much. He wondered what his intentions were.

"Your Majesty, if Prince Jing hadn't sent people to follow us today, we would have had a chance to kill Luo Xue Ning. But we found that Luo Xue Ning had a secret guard by her side, and their strength was not inferior to ours. Judging from the skills of the secret guard, I guess they are from Prince Jing's mansion."

They had seen the secret guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and found that their strength was still a little inferior to the secret guards around Luo Xuening.

The only place that could raise such well-trained secret guards is Prince Jing’s Mansion.

The two black-clad secret guards who had attempted to kill Luo Xue Ning but failed under the order of Prince Rui now lowered their heads, waiting for Prince Rui to punish them.

"Long Moxun even sent secret guards to protect her. What's so special about this woman?"

Prince Rui frowned. These days, because the real murderer of the closed-room murder case was found, Rui Qinwan had been living in great anxiety.

The Emperor has been sending people to secretly investigate Prince Rui, and this time the Emperor has no intention of treating him leniently. Prince Rui's people have already been cleared out by the Emperor.

During this period, people in the capital were in a state of panic, and those who were attached to Prince Rui were either waiting anxiously for the day when they would be purged by the emperor, or they would temporarily switch sides.

In short, if it weren't for this time, Long Moxun and Luo Xuening had tricked Prince Rui so badly, Prince Rui would really be unprepared to be so cruel to a woman who was kept in seclusion.

But once the ruthless move is made, there is naturally no need for maneuver.

"Since Long Moxun wants to protect her, I will not use the name Luo Xuening for the time being."

However, this does not mean that Prince Rui will let Luo Xuening go. On the contrary, he wants to use this incident to exaggerate it.

Since Long Moxun and Luo Xuening have an unusual relationship, he will make good use of this relationship.

'Secretly reveal what happened in the past few days to the Imperial Guard.'

Although the current emperor seems to be idle on the surface, the Imperial Guards under his command have a tight control over the capital and are monitoring his ministers everywhere.

Even he and the emperor's sons and brothers were not spared.

Since what happened today is related to Long Moxun, Jinyiwei must know about it. However, Prince Rui and Prince Rui hope that Jinyiwei can describe the relationship between Luoxuening and Long Moxun in a more exaggerated way.

In this way, they will have the opportunity to let the emperor handle the matter personally. One is the noble Prince Jing, and the other is just a little concubine's daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If there is really any relationship between them, I think the emperor will not sit idly by.

However, what Prince Rui didn't know was that Long Moxun understood his father better than Prince Rui did.

He naturally knew that the Imperial Guard would report today's events to the Emperor without any emotion, but he did not think that the Emperor would be as short-sighted as Prince Rui and attack a young woman.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken action today.

In fact, the emperor, who was far away in the palace, frowned when he heard the report from the Jinyiwei: "Prince Jing, what do you mean by this?"

The leader of the Jinyi Guard had just received a favor from Prince Jing's Mansion a few days ago, so at this moment, he naturally had to find ways to speak well of Prince Jing.

"Your Majesty, it is obvious that some people are impatient and ready to take action, and the prince is just stopping them."

With just one sentence, Long Moxun was completely cleared of the matter. However, in fact, the leader of the Jinyi Guards didn't want to recall for the second time how Long Moxun protected Luo Xuening that day, because it was too cruel for a single man.

"No, no, you don't understand."

Emperor Nan Shao did not expect that the leader of the Jinyi Guards could understand his thoughts. After all, in his opinion, his subordinates only needed to obey him. As for providing him with some different insights at the critical moment, the emperor did not expect that, as that was what his subjects should do.

"This is not the first time Xun'er has mentioned this girl. I can tell from his tone that he has some admiration for her."

"I heard that the fourth daughter of the Luo family was alone and broke into a gang that kidnapped people and rescued the kidnapped woman. I think the fourth daughter of the Luo family must be smart, courageous, and capable. For such a person to be appreciated by the prince, it can only mean that the prince and the emperor both have a heart for talent."

The subtle compliments from the Jinyiwei leader made Emperor Nan Shao very satisfied. He nodded, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"The Qixi Festival will be here in a few days. I want to see what kind of person the brave and courageous fourth daughter of the Luo family you mentioned is."

The eldest lady was seriously injured by the falling snow. She had just recovered from her illness and was throwing things around and yelling loudly.

"How did those people do it? I even poisoned myself to make it easier for them, but they couldn't even kill a woman. I thought they were capable people, but now it seems that they are just a bunch of idiots."

The First Madam didn't know that at this moment her courtyard had been surrounded by people from Prince Rui's Palace. Since the First Madam and Prince Rui's Palace had already cooperated once, Prince Rui's Palace would naturally not allow such a person to continue to act without scruples.

Otherwise, the Madam will continue to cooperate with Prince Rui's Mansion. If the Madam disobeys, they don't mind and will use their actions to prove that they are not fools at all.

The Madam's insults were very mild, but the people who were watching her were all sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. When they looked at each other, they felt that this Madam was not only hopelessly stupid, but also had a very bad vision.

These past few days, whenever the eldest lady thought of Luo Xuening escaping right under her nose, her heart ached. Because Luo Xuening did not cooperate well with the treatment, her illness was delayed again and again. In the past few days, the eldest lady was obviously much more haggard.

However, this was not the worst, because when the First Lady heard that someone from the palace had come to personally deliver the invitation to the Fourth Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was completely stunned.

She had only been ill for a few days, but how come the world had changed so completely? Luo Xue Ning, the person who should have loved being trampled under their feet, had, unknowingly, climbed to a higher height than them.

People have always been like this. They will not be jealous of those who are much better than them, but for those around them, the slightest change on their part can cause the seeds of jealousy to germinate in their hearts.

Luo Xue Ning's surprise was no less than that of the eldest lady. She opened her mouth wide and looked at the person who came to deliver the invitation in surprise. After a long while, she repeated, "Hey, this invitation is from the Empress?"

The person who delivered the invitation gave Luo Xuening a subtle look. She was indeed a lowly concubine's daughter. Just an invitation could make her so excited that she lost herself.

However, in fact, Luo Xuening was not so excited that she lost herself in excitement, but she could not guess what the Queen was thinking.

The Empress is the first lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Wei, Gu Lan's biological sister, Prince Shou's biological mother, and Luo Xueyao's biological aunt.

The Queen Mother has always valued Luo Xueyao very much, but for the upcoming Chinese Valentine's Day, the Queen sent someone to deliver the invitation to Luo Xuening. The deep meaning behind it was really a slap in the face of Luo Xueyao and her daughter.

Looking at the gold-inlaid invitation, Luo Xuening felt that this light invitation was particularly heavy in her hand, because she couldn't guess what the Empress was thinking.

"Fourth Miss, our Empress Dowager likes you very much. When you go to the palace for the Qixi Festival banquet, you must remember to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager."

After giving some cautious instructions, the maid who came to deliver the invitation left, leaving Luo Xuening alone with a slightly gloomy look in her eyes. What exactly was the empress going to do?
