"But since a palace maid saw it, it is inevitable that others will also see it. Chen'er, did anyone see you when you took the body out of the palace?" Lu Huiling frowned and asked with a worried look.

Now in this palace, there are only three of them, it doesn't matter how they speak freely.

"Sister, aren't you worried about me doing things? When I left the palace, the hunting started, and the imperial guards were there to guard me. Besides, I am the son of the prime minister's palace, and I am also the concubine who is currently in the holy family.

My dear brother, who will come to search my bicycle frame? As soon as I sent the body out, I asked Fang Lu to arrange for someone to throw it away, and I hurried back. No one would know what was in my bicycle frame along the way.

It's a corpse." Lu Chen said to Lu Huiling with a proud face.

"I don't know how the palace maid saw it." Lu Huiling was a little worried. She was afraid that someone else would know their action plan. If they revealed it when the emperor was strictly investigating the matter, they would be in big trouble. Now

It's not too early to be complacent.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, but fortunately Lu Huiling didn't interfere in any of it. As long as no one saw it, and those who saw it would always shut up, everything would be foolproof.

"Oh, my sister is just a palace maid. If she was really capable, she would just file a lawsuit. Why would she need to risk her own life? You know, no one wants to cause more trouble nowadays.

." Lu Chen saw Lu Huiling's worried look and couldn't help but laugh at her for being unfounded.

If someone really knew it, they would not choose to go against Prime Minister Lu and Concubine Ming. Even if they knew this secret, they would rot in their stomachs forever.

"What did the palace maid say before she died?" Lu Huiling thought about it carefully and still felt that there was something wrong. If this matter was revealed, not to mention that she would no longer be able to help His Royal Highness, not even her own.

Life is also at stake.

After all, at the New Year's Eve feast, a day when all nations came to the DPRK and the world celebrated together, she was obstructing it and did something that made it difficult for the DPRK to step down in front of all nations. She really could not be forgiven by the emperor. If he knew it was her, I am afraid he would still

It's better to blame more.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Huiling decided to take a risk on this day, so that Concubine Mei would never succeed.

However, you must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"I heard that the arrow pierced the heart, and the whole body was penetrated by the arrow. There is no way to survive. I am afraid that I will die within a few breaths. How can I still have the strength to speak." Lu Chen saw Lu Huiling.

Being so worried makes me extremely depressed. Women always do something before and after. Unlike him, they don't think about it anymore after doing it. But this is why he always doesn't get the attention.

When Lu Huiling heard what Lu Chen said, she thought of such a scene and couldn't help but frown slightly and look disgusted.

Mrs. Lu on the side was even more difficult to eat. The feathered arrow was not easy to bring in. She had to be searched when entering the palace. However, as a first-grade wife and a woman, it was difficult for the gatekeeper to search her.

He hid it in his clothes and brought it in.

She knew the power of those arrows. Her family was a businessman. Whenever she was transporting goods and silver treasures, she would always worry about bandits on the road. The bodyguards at home used this kind of three-pronged feather arrows. One arrow

If it goes on, the bleeding will not stop at all. If the injury is not in a fatal position, and ultimately does not receive timely treatment, he will bleed to death.

Although Mrs. Lu had been accustomed to seeing bloodshed since childhood, it did not mean that she could accept such a scene. As soon as she heard Lu Chen's vivid description, she put her chopsticks on the table with a bang.

Lu Chen and Lu Huiling on the side looked at Mrs. Lu together. Why are you angry at this big festival?

"You are so bloody when you open your mouth and shut up, and you are not letting people have a good meal?!" Mrs. Lu frowned and said, "The annual New Year's Eve feast was ruined by you, and now you don't even have a warm meal!"

Aren’t you going to let me eat it?”

Lu Huiling and Lu Chen looked at each other. She could clearly feel that Mrs. Lu was not very happy, but she also knew in her heart that her current transformation worried and disappointed her.

Lu Huiling accompanied her with a smile. After all, this is her mother and she cannot treat her like others. She picked up another chopstick dish and put it on Mrs. Lu's plate. She said with a smile: "Mom, this is the New Year's Eve, don't do it."

You're angry with us. If you don't want to hear it, we'll just leave it alone. Come, we'll have dinner with you."

Mrs. Lu has doted on Lu Huiling since she was a child, doting on her as if she were her heart. She comes from a scholarly family, so she will naturally receive the best culture and etiquette. She has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and Mrs. Lu and Lu Gaohong also have expectations for her.

Extremely high.

Lu Gaohong is quite satisfied with her now, but now Lu Huiling is not as gentle and pleasant in appearance and virtuous as Mrs. Lu imagined. Ever since Lu Huiling entered the palace, Mrs. Lu has become less and less understanding.

Lu Huiling has become more intelligent, and her appearance seems to be becoming more and more mean, far less rounded and cute than before.

"I can't eat any more and want to take a rest." Mrs. Lu didn't seem very satisfied. She never picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the rice. She said this coldly, got up and went to get what Lu Huiling had just given her.

Rest in the arranged dormitory.

Lu Huiling also stood up. She didn't understand why Mrs. Lu was suddenly unhappy, but she clearly didn't say anything more.

But seeing that his mother didn't want to see him now, he winked at Lu Chen and asked him to follow him to comfort his mother. He still had some things to deal with, and he thought it wouldn't be long before Qi Bingyu would investigate this matter thoroughly.

Bar.

After Mrs. Lu and Lu Chen left, Lu Huiling sat down. Facing the table full of delicacies, she had no intention of using her chopsticks. She turned to Xu Lan behind her and said, "Take these plates of uneaten food."

Send the dishes to Lanyuan Pavilion, and also...please ask Mr. Zhi not to let your guard down at the critical moment."

Now she has nothing to worry about, so she will focus on this last moment to investigate the matter thoroughly. By then, she will have already prepared everything, which has nothing to do with her, but is closely related to her.

Xu Lan summoned several palace maids, put these plates of exquisite delicacies into food boxes, and personally delivered them to Lord Zhe.

After Xu Lan left, Qin Xin came up and squeezed Lu Huiling's shoulders. Lu Huiling leaned comfortably on the imperial concubine chair and rested her eyes. The hustle and bustle outside the palace was all caused by her, but she looked at him again.

It has nothing to do with it.

Xu Lan braved the severe cold and bypassed many crowds. For fear of being discovered, she came to Lanyuan Pavilion covertly.

If anyone asked about it along the way, Xu Lan would tactfully say that Concubine Ming was considerate and sent some snacks to each palace. In this way, no one suspected, and they arrived at Lanyuan Pavilion safely.

Even on New Year's Eve, Lanyuan Pavilion is as lonely as usual. The weeds growing in the cracks of the bricks in the corner have not yet been cleaned up. The place is desolate and far away from the Qinzheng Palace. The emperor will not come to Lanyuan Pavilion.

, I think this place is as quiet as the cold palace.

Xu Lan gently knocked on the door, and it was indeed Ah Xun who opened the door. Ah Xun was eating freshly made glutinous rice balls with Mr. Zhi, which symbolized reunion.

There were a lot of masters today, so the imperial dining room also focused on the noble and important concubines and guests to eat first. Low-ranking concubines like them could just make some food in the small kitchen to entertain the two of them.

"Are you eating?" As soon as Xu Lan came in, she could feel a hint of warmth. Seeing that their fire was strong, she must have burned all the charcoal fire.

After all, it will never be used again.

Ah Xun looked at Mr. Zhi who was sitting at the table with his head down eating glutinous rice balls, and then said to Xu Lan: "Aunt Xu Lan, come in and talk."

Xu Lan naturally walked in unceremoniously, smiled at Mr. Zhe, with a perfunctory politeness, and then took out the dishes in his food box one by one and placed them in front of Mr. Zhe, and said with a smile: "Noble Zhe

Stop eating your glutinous rice balls, Concubine Ming specially asked me to bring them to you, they are still hot, eat them while they are hot."

Zhi Guiren watched her bring out the exquisite dishes one by one, then slowly put down the spoon in her hand, stood up and looked at the dishes on the table, which were full of delicious aroma.

Seeing Mr. Zhe looking at these dishes intently, Xu Lan said with a smile: "These are gifts from the emperor. Concubine Ming is reluctant to eat them. She specially gave them to Mr. Zhe to try. Please eat them quickly, Mr. Zhe."

Zhi Guiren raised his head and looked at Xu Lan. He stared at Xu Lan for a long time and felt cold as he stared at Xu Lan's back. Then he slowly said, "Did Concubine Ming use Yin Zhi as a beggar?"

Nobleman Zhi could see that a piece of the plate of steamed fish and clams had obviously been taken away. It seemed that Concubine Ming couldn't finish the meal, so she asked Xu Lan to bring it to herself as a reward.

Maybe Mr. Zhi didn't care about this in the past, nor would he say such words that would put the other party off the stage, but it's different now. At this last moment, Lu Huiling doesn't want anything to happen to her, and naturally wants her to be safe and sound.

Proceed according to the original plan.

As soon as Xu Lan heard this, she couldn't help it. She was stunned for a while, smiled awkwardly and said, "What are you talking about, noble lady?" Concubine Ming also said, let you adapt to the situation when the time comes.

...Don't...don't spoil her good deeds... The noble man will eat first, and since the servant has delivered it, he will leave first."

After saying that, Xu Lan seemed to be running away to go back to Minghua Hall. Just now, Zhi Guiren's eyes seemed to see through her. She had never seen such eyes before, desperate but with a trace of undeniable dignity.

After Xu Lan left, Ah Xun slowly approached Mr. Zhi, looked at the table full of delicacies, and said, "My lord... why don't you just eat some... after all..."

After all, this might be the last meal.
