Crown Princess Lu Xiaomei stood outside the study, motionless.
After a while, the prince's voice sounded: "What are you doing standing outside? Come in!"
Lu Xiaomei wandered into the study and saw the prince pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands, a look of irritation and anger on his face.
She came to the prince and said softly: "Your Highness, are you worried about the Jade Tower?"
"This bastard!" The prince suddenly stopped and said bitterly: "You ungrateful bitch!"
Lu Xiaomei sighed secretly.
Since becoming the prince, his temperament has changed a lot. He is even more tempered than before, and he often curses others. In the past, he was gentle and elegant, but now the prince seems to be a different person.
Can power change a person so quickly?
The prince turned to look at her: "Are you here to intercede for him?"
"Your Highness, please calm down." Lu Xiaomei brought him the tea cup on the table and said softly: "Why did he go to Prince An's Mansion? Why did he go to Prince An's Mansion? Although the Emperor has wronged Yu Rong, it's not so extreme, right?"
She felt that the Renguo Duke's reaction was too drastic, which was not in line with Lu Yurong's behavior. After all, she had an excellent relationship with the Renguo Duke and was connected by blood, so she would not betray the prince easily.
What's more, the crown prince's throne is secure, and no matter how angry Lu Yurong is, she will not harm the Renguo government.
There is probably some misunderstanding. Just clear it up. It's not worth being so angry. Seeing that the prince is so excited, is there something he is hiding from himself?
It stands to reason that the prince knows Yu Rong very well and knows that she will not act recklessly.
The prince's eyes flashed and he hummed: "This girl Yu Rong is probably angry with me because she thinks I didn't speak in front of my father."
Lu Xiaomei said softly: "Yu Rong is a general person. She should know that it is useless for you to say anything, Your Highness."
"Humph, what's the general idea?" The prince sneered and sat back down in the grand master's chair.
Lu Xiaomei frowned: "Is there anything your Highness is hiding from me?"
She still trusts Lu Yurong because she has grown up together and knows Lu Yurong's temperament. Although she is smart, she also values friendship and will never betray him easily. She will not betray her in this matter.
The prince avoided her gaze, shook his head and said, "I have nothing to hide."
"Your Highness!" Lu Xiaomei frowned: "Husband and wife are one, do you want to hide something from me?"
The prince shook his head and said: "Anyway, she is leaving us this time. Do you think I can bear it?"
"Why on earth!" Lu Xiaomei said: "Is it because His Highness failed to intercede with the Emperor? Or is she angry with the Emperor, so she wants to disturb the court?"
"Yes! Yes, yes!" The prince nodded hurriedly: "She must have had this idea, to make the court into chaos as revenge for her father!"
"Alas..." Lu Xiaomei sighed: "If this happens to me, I will be disappointed, disappointed with our Daji, and disappointed with the emperor."
"Shh——!" The prince quickly raised his finger in front of his lips and glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Xiaomei shook her head gently and said: "I have always been very sad. It is really disappointing that the emperor is so difficult for a woman."
"Shut up!" The prince's expression suddenly changed.
He glanced left and right and said angrily: "Do you think my father can't hear it?"
"So what if the emperor heard it." Lu Xiaomei snorted: "He can do it, but others can't say it? As Yu Rong's aunt, can't I say something fair?"
"You..." The prince sighed helplessly: "You think that my father is not aggrieved. My father is more aggrieved than anyone else. But what can you do? He is a master, an invincible master!"
"Then you can't sacrifice a woman." Lu Xiaomei said.
The prince said: "Don't talk about women. I, the prince, have to sacrifice when I should. Everything is for Daji!"
Lu Xiaomei shook her head and said no more, sighing: "I will persuade Yu Rong."
"Don't try to persuade her. They've already done it. What's the point of trying to persuade her?" The prince said angrily, "You don't know what kind of person she is. Once she takes action, no one can persuade her."
"Alas..." Lu Xiaomei sighed quietly: "Is it possible that she wants to deal with you?"
"That's for sure." The prince sneered: "It seems that boy Xu'an is starting to get restless!"
"Your Highness, he is the grandson of the emperor." Lu Xiaomei advised: "You don't need to be familiar with him, it will only mess up your position."
"Don't underestimate this kid." The prince sneered, shook his head and hummed: "He really wants to covet the throne, he is no less of a threat than Prince Ping!"
Lu Xiaomei frowned and said, "Is it because of Yu Rong?"
"Lu Yurong is smarter than a monkey, can he fight an uncertain battle?" The prince looked gloomy and hummed: "Since you dare to defect to Prince An's Mansion, it means that Prince An's Mansion has enough confidence."
"I'd better advise Yu Rong." Lu Xiaomei said: "I will invite Yu Rong to come to my house. Then you will apologize to her in person, and this matter will be over. Who can be more reassuring than her!"
The prince nodded slowly.
——
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, shining brightly across the city of God.
The Prince's Mansion was also bathed in the clear light.
The back garden was brightly lit, but very quiet. There was a small pavilion in the flower bed full of flowers. In the small pavilion were three people, Lu Yurong, Lu Xiaomei and the prince. There were no maids or guards. Lu Xiaomei poured tea and wine herself.
"Yu Rong, you are very brave, you dare to come here alone!" The prince sat in the main seat and looked at Lu Yurong carelessly.
Lu Yurong was dressed in a white shirt, with a white gauze covering her face, revealing only her clear and bright eyes.
She said calmly: "Why don't I dare? God is Jingming, who dares to assassinate me in the street? Auntie, there is no need to be busy, I will just say a few words and leave."
Lu Xiaomei said angrily: "Why are we going? You and your aunt are so out of touch!"
Lu Yurong smiled faintly and glanced at the prince: "It seems that my uncle didn't tell you what happened."
The prince hurriedly said: "Yu Rong, are you going to seek refuge in Xu'an?"
Lu Yurong nodded softly: "If I don't take refuge with others, I'm afraid I will die without a burial place. This is also a forced helplessness."
"Yu Rong, what are you talking about?" Lu Xiaomei asked with a frown.
She looked at the prince with hesitation on her face.
The prince snorted: "Don't provoke me and your aunt, you really want to betray me!"
Lu Yurong chuckled and said: "I never thought that uncle, you would be so shameless. Doesn't uncle know why I betrayed you?"
"Hmph, what do I know!" The prince said coldly: "I just wanted to test you, and I guessed it!"
"I really have to thank my uncle for showing mercy!" Lu Yurong sneered: "Testing? Are you testing whether I will die?"
"Yu Rong!" Lu Xiaomei frowned and said, "Your uncle killed you."
"Ask uncle!" Lu Yurong glared at the prince coldly.
Lu Xiaomei looked at the prince with a sullen face.
The prince coughed lightly: "I just wanted to test her, but I didn't expect that she would join someone else's army!"
Lu Yurong hummed lightly: "If I hadn't been lucky, Chu Li would have arrived in time to frighten you away, and you would be buried in peace now!"
Tears suddenly welled up in Lu Xiaomei's bright eyes and fell one after another.
