Looking at the prince's silent expression, Qian Chunhua also became anxious.
Prince Yongning rebelled, and he deserved to be cut into pieces, but why did he bring disaster to his wife and children? This is damn feudal system. Qian Chunhua felt sorry for the princess.
The prince shook his head slowly, "I don't think they will be killed."
Should..., shouldn't...?
Even the prince was not sure. Qian Chunhua's heart was suddenly lifted.
She looked worried and said to herself, "The princess is so pitiful."
The prince was even more shocked. He looked at Lu Qing in confusion. Since when did Sister Chunhua become so close to Princess Yongning that she would care about her life or death?
Lu Qing shook his head secretly. He didn't know either.
Qian Chunhua seemed to be explaining, and also seemed to be concerned about the princess's death. She continued, "When I was in Yongning Mansion, I interacted with the princess several times, and she helped me once."
Qian Chunhua was referring to the fact that the princess helped Dong Nianmei to divorce.
In this matter, she did benefit the princess, and the princess also helped them a lot.
The prince was relieved to hear this, because his uncle had rebelled and stood against him, and he did not want to see Sister Chunhua standing on his uncle's side.
Fortunately, Sister Chunhua didn’t.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the same time.
He felt that he was really narrow-minded. Back then, it was Sister Chunhua who helped him give the two pills to Uncle Wang. Otherwise, he would not have been able to recruit Uncle Wang's army so easily.
Why would I worry that Sister Chunhua would stand on Uncle Wang's side?
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a lighter tone, "Aunt Wang, she should be fine. At least her life is not in danger."
With the promise from the Crown Prince, Qian Chunhua was relieved. She would not push the issue any further and ask to visit the Princess. She would ask again when there was a chance.
…
After chatting about Prince Yongning for a while, the prince and Lu Qing said goodbye.
On the way to the palace, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little curious and kept glancing at the prince.
The prince smiled helplessly, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."
Lu Qing kept looking at him like this, and the prince felt uneasy.
Lu Qing said bluntly: "Why did you accept Sister Chunhua's invitation?"
He was referring to the incident of going to Sister Chunhua's to eat the antique soup.
It was because they knew each other that Lu Qing spoke so directly.
Lu Qing knew very well that the prince had been in the capital for such a long time and had rejected all invitations from everyone. He had always been very averse to having too much private contact with the ministers in the court.
This time, he broke his usual habit and accepted Sister Chunhua's invitation, which made Lu Qing curious.
As they were talking, the two men arrived at the prince's residence on horseback.
The prince did not live in the imperial palace, but had his own mansion outside the palace where he lived alone.
After arriving at the mansion, the prince did not immediately answer Lu Qing's questions. He reined in his horse, jumped off the horse's back, and was the first to step into the mansion gate.
The servant hurried forward and held the horse.
In the study of the old mansion, servants served tea.
After retreating, the prince looked at Lu Qing and said, "There are two reasons."
Lu Qing: “……?”
The prince smiled and said, "First, I want to support Sister Chunhua and let people outside know that I am her backer."
Lu Qing guessed the reason, but it was just a guess. He didn't expect the prince to be willing to take that step for Sister Chunhua.
"Is there another reason?" Lu Qing asked.
The prince sighed and said, "I also need to marry the rich and powerful."
Among the civil and military officials in the court, there are almost no people who truly belong to him.
The only two of them were those who went on the expedition to the Turks together and became acquainted with each other through the war, so they could not be considered the prince's mistresses.
