Chapter 56 The Prince's Clever Move
"I, your humble servant, have only just lost my biological mother, and have personally experienced the bitterness of life without her. Fortunately, before she passed away, my mother had already taken me out of the wolf's den, otherwise how could I have the life I have today?"
Gu Ruanci did not forget to step on the Zhou family again, it was just a convenient thing to do anyway.
Wu Yixuan, who was standing next to him, also thought of his biological mother whom he had never met. If his father had not insisted on not getting married all these years, he and his brother might not have lived such a happy life.
Maybe, I am another Lian Yuyan.
"The Princess Chaoyang is truly kindhearted and truly admirable. That day in the palace, my mother didn't get the chance to see you, and I've always felt regretful. If there's an opportunity someday, I'd like to invite the Princess into the palace for a chat."
Lu Enrui's words were a bit abrupt.
After hearing this, Zhou Qinzhu already felt the crisis.
However, the Zhou family understood that Concubine Ning's situation in the palace was not very good. She could neither go up nor down. Now that she had such a great prince, even if she did not fight for it in the future, no one might believe her.
If we can get help from the Shouguo Mansion through Gu Ruanci, then it will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.
"Thank you for your kindness, Concubine Ning. However, your request to meet me as your aunt is really unreasonable. I regret that I cannot comply."
Gu Ruanci directly told the dirty things that happened in the palace before, and let the onlookers know what happened.
Lu Enrui did not feel embarrassed, but instead strengthened his interest.
Being so humble and modest, he will definitely be a good helper in the future.
"Forget it, then I'll have to look for another opportunity." He smiled kindly.
Lu Enyan, who had already reached a cooperation with Gu Runci, did not say a word throughout the whole process. When Gu Runci suggested that Xiao Yixian make Angong Niuhuang Pills, a life-saving medicine, although he felt a little emotional, he did not show it on his face.
Angong Niuhuang Pills, the pill that made Xiao Yixian famous back then, are rare because ox bile is hard to come by, especially those that are old.
Someone once witnessed that a person who was on the verge of death came back to life after taking Angong Niuhuang Pills.
Zhou Yuzhi was already thinking about how to get this precious pill from the Little Medical Fairy so that he could save his grandmother's life.
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Gu Ruanci didn't give the Zhou family any more glances. Zhou Zhili kept a straight face the whole time. He knew that if he opened his mouth, he would definitely be retorted.
Gu Ruanci said goodbye to Wu Yixuan and the others before leaving the scene.
Just as Lu Wenxue was about to sneak away, Lu Enyan spoke up, "I heard that the Lian family's daughter withdrew from the competition again this time. Lu Wenxue, do you know anything about this?"
"Me? How would I know..."
Lu Wenxue immediately denied it. If she admitted it, she would probably face even more severe punishment.
Lu Enyan nodded, but there was still no sign of a smile on his face.
"Since it wasn't you, then the people under your command need to be dealt with. I've already asked Mother for permission to have them beaten up and kicked out of Prince Duan's mansion. I'm sure you don't want to keep these servants who used your name to cause trouble at the Minister of Rites's house, do you?"
Lu Wenxue was completely embarrassed, but she was already used to her elder brother not giving her any face.
No matter how much his father doted on him and his brother over the years, this eldest brother never considered his father's feelings.
Lu Enyan glanced at Zhou Qinzhu, who was cowering like a quail, and said, "Miss Zhou, from now on, if anything that benefits your brother but harms others is done by you, do it yourself. If I find out again that you instigate someone from Prince Duan's Mansion to do it, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Zhou Qinzhu immediately denied it with red eyes: "My Lord, it's not me, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Lu Enrui also immediately defended her: "Yes, cousin, my cousin is not that kind of person."
"I'm informing you, not discussing her character with you."
Lu Enyan also didn't give anyone face and spoke directly.
Zhou Yuzhi bravely said, "You're joking, my prince! Our Zhou family is only a marquisate, and my sister is extremely cautious. She's been in Imperial Province for so many years and has never made enemies. Regardless of her status or motives, she has no reason or qualifications to ask County Master Mingyue to do anything. Besides, didn't the County Master just say that she had no knowledge of the matter..."
Lu Enyan glanced at him and his tone became contemptuous.
"The young masters of the Zhou family are really active in protecting this fake sister. It's really touching. It's a pity that your sister didn't get the bezoar to help you save the old lady's life."
Zhou Yuzhi spoke again: "In reply to the prince, the reason I was able to gain the favor of the Little Medical Fairy this time was because my younger sister gave me her opportunity. I believe she is the lucky star of our mansion. Maybe because of her, we will be able to receive the Little Medical Fairy's blessing this time..."
"Well, good luck to you."
Lu Enyan had a blank expression on his face, then glanced at Lu Wenxue.
Lu Wenxue immediately said: "Brother, I'm going home now..."
A battle of music made the Zhou family lose face, and even Lu Wenxue's reputation was repeatedly affected.
I never thought that the girl from the Lian family couldn't participate in the competition for two consecutive years, all because of her.
From what the prince said, Zhou Qinzhu's matter is also involved.
It seems that the leader before Zhou Yuqi was also quite fake.
As the doubts grew, Zhou Qinzhu, who had returned to the mansion, became anxious.
"What should we do? The medicine that can save Grandma is now in Gu Ruanci's hands. We definitely can't get even a penny from her. We can't just watch Grandma being saved while being powerless to do anything, right?"
Zhou Yuxiu sat there with an anxious look on his face.
Zhou Yuzhi said on the side: "Now she said that she would hand the things over to the Little Medical Fairy, but she didn't say when to hand it over... If she deliberately drags it out, using this excuse, until Grandmother... Sigh..."
"Then please ask the Emperor to come forward and order her to hand over the things... Let's tell my aunt. After all, she is Consort Ning, and she gave birth to a son for the Emperor. He can't just watch my grandmother have medicine, but be held hostage and refused to give it to her, and let her die..."
Zhou Yuqi's train of thought was relatively simple, and he had already forgotten the eldest prince's attitude today.
"The Emperor won't help. Duke Shou's contributions are there. Everyone can see the Emperor's attitude towards them in recent years. Even his adopted daughter was directly given the title of County Lady. If your aunt were to speak up, wouldn't that be deliberately making things difficult for the Emperor?"
Zhou Zhili sat there with a serious expression.
Zhou Yuqi stood up anxiously. His defeat in the musical competition, coupled with his grandmother's illness, made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
"This won't work, and that won't work either. Father, are we really going to leave Grandma alone?"
At this time, Ye Lanxin advised: "Yuqi, how can you think of your father like this? Don't worry, when the Third Prince left today, he told your father that he has a way..."
