Chapter 317: Spreading branches and leaves
Lu Xinran still knew his limits and knew not to tease too much, so he teased Liu a few more times and then let her go.
After all, she is Lu Xinlan's mother-in-law, and making too much trouble would only cause trouble for her.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for her to dig up some juicy details, but she changed the subject and targeted someone else.
Liu collapsed in the chair as if exhausted, feeling angry, annoyed and suffocated.
Of course she could see Lu Xinran's intention. He wanted to use this opportunity in front of everyone to criticize her.
If she continues to cause trouble for Lu Xinlan, either openly or covertly, the result will not be that she can be let off so easily.
As for how Lu Xinlan was doing in the Tang Mansion, the other party knew it clearly through the system without her having to say anything.
This made her extremely depressed, and it was not easy for her to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for Lu Xinlan.
However, if you don’t work hard to have children for your husband’s family after getting married, it will be unacceptable no matter how you look at it!
Lu Xinran looked at the booklet that Liu updated in real time and shook his head helplessly at Lu Xinlan.
As a mother-in-law, she has fallen into the trap of spreading and expanding.
Lu Xinlan shook her head helplessly at her, signaling her not to cause any more trouble for herself.
After this period of contact, she had already realized that Liu had been the most powerful person in the mansion in recent years, and both her mother-in-law and Tang Quyan listened to her in everything.
She had long been accustomed to everyone in the mansion listening to her and watching her face, so she was naturally extremely dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law being so disobedient.
When she decided to get married, she had imagined this situation, so she didn't feel sad at all.
Life is always full of difficulties and you have to overcome them one by one. Just take it slow.
Lu Xinran glared at her angrily, but since there were outsiders around, he couldn't say anything more. He just snorted and went to eat other people's big melons.
During the days before the Lantern Festival, the young couple appeared in different mansions every day.
Lu Xinran would not miss any opportunity to grab health points. Everyone in Beijing was in pain and happy. As long as the melon didn't fall on their heads, it would be another happy day.
During the Lantern Festival, the young couple went to the street to watch the lanterns sweetly.
The street was crowded with people, and Lu Xinran was held in Song Junyan's arms, with their fingers tightly clasped.
Holding a lantern, she saw the annual lantern riddles competition ahead and hurriedly pulled Song Junyan over.
There was no familiar figure on the stage this time. The cheerful and generous boy a year ago has gradually become strong in the wind and frost of the northwest.
Seeing that she seemed to be lost in memories, Song Junyan looked towards the stage and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Walking from the beginning of the street to the end, before getting on the carriage to return to the palace, Lu Xinran suddenly turned his head and looked at an alley next to him.
Song Junyan followed her gaze and couldn't help feeling a little shy, but then he felt happy.
Without the reckless courage on this day last year, there would be no such happy and free days as today.
He gently shook Lu Xinran's hand, then lowered his eyes to look at her in the light of the distant lights.
"Come on, let's go home."
Come back home.
Lu Xinran admired the two of them in his heart, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go home."
At least it was still her home now.
After the Lantern Festival, everything in the capital seemed to return to normal.
Throughout the New Year, Lu Xinran relied on hard work and diligence to increase his life span to more than 20 years.
As for the match between Song Junhua and Song Junyu, the journey to Yangcheng was long and it was New Year's Day, so the winner had not yet been decided.
From Lu Xinran's perspective, there was still a large amount of life points that had not been settled.
Without the pressure of insufficient health, the couple once again focused their attention on the country prince hiding in the dark.
Eating melons for the entire New Year was not without some gains. While flipping through the pamphlets, Lu Xinran had already identified several officials whose words and deeds were different.
However, their contact with the prince was passive, and no one knew where that person was hiding.
In this case, the couple could only passively ask people to guard these officials and wait for the man to show his whereabouts.
"Do you think he has other plans in the palace? Do you think he has bribed the people around the Queen Mother if he wants to gain her support?"
If the Queen Mother has no one of his kind around her, how can he get close to her and make her accept him in the shortest possible time?
In the study, Lu Xinran sat at the desk, with all the information she had compiled in front of her.
Song Junyan glanced at the information in front of her and said, "Actually, there is one thing we haven't considered yet."
Lu Xinran raised her eyebrows and waited patiently for his next words.
Song Junyan tapped the table with his fingers, slowly organizing his thoughts.
"You have exposed the fact that the emperor was overly dependent on aphrodisiacs. The emperor has become suspicious and will probably not use these pills anymore.
“If you stop taking it, the pill’s effect on Father won’t be so severe that it’s irreversible.
“Although it’s not the end of the first month yet, my father can no longer bear it. He has put the doctor who prescribed the aphrodisiac into prison and will execute him the day after tomorrow.
"His family and clansmen were all exiled to Lingnan, and no one was allowed to plead for them.
"We have ruined this move. We have directly ruined that person's plan."
If that person is unwilling to wait any longer, other arrangements will surely emerge soon.
And if he hated both of them because of this, especially Lu Xinran who ruined the other party's plan through the system, he was afraid that person would do something bad to her.
He carefully analyzed the situation that might occur later, and then stepped forward and took her hand.
"If you have nothing important to do during this period of time, you can stay in the palace. After you and I get married, my father will withdraw all the secret guards sent to protect you. You are only surrounded by the palace guards now, and I am afraid I can't protect you."
Since his life was in danger, Lu Xinran immediately nodded in agreement.
She still had plenty of health points, and she had already tasted the melons from various prefectures in the capital, so there was no need to rush out.
Seeing that she agreed obediently, Song Junyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the New Year, it is time for him to find an opportunity to meet with the Duke of Zhenguo.
Since the queen has decided to fully support him, there is no need for him to reject her kindness.
They have been tied together since the beginning, and the military force of Yucheng Pass is the greatest help to him, and he must grasp it in his hands.
