Emperor Jingyuan died, not long after Yuanhong died.

Prince Yuanruo succeeded to the throne.

Because the national mourning was close to the New Year, Yuan Ruo announced the edict, so there was no need to make grand arrangements for the New Year.

The death of Emperor Jingyuan seemed to have settled everything.

Yuan Tong'er is still a noble princess, and she no longer has to worry about anyone doubting her identity.

Qu Baiyu never came again after that time. We only met him twice during family banquets in the palace. Neither of them knew what to say, so they just nodded and left.

On the other hand, Lu Xingzhou, although he also took on some important tasks in the palace, would often go to Yuan Tong'er's place when he had free time.

Yuan Ruo then said with a smile that their marriage had been postponed again and again. If it hadn't been for another national mourning, it should have been arranged for them as soon as possible.

Yuan Tong'er also did not express his position.

The snow around the New Year's Day was particularly heavy, and the people in the imperial city changed one after another.

The Queen Qu now became the Queen Mother Qu, and the Crown Princess Cai became the Queen Cai.

Lu Xingzhou said that Queen Cai was well-educated, gentle and courteous, and her father was the upright and honest Prime Minister Cai, so she was considered a blessing to the people.

Yuan Tong'er was a little confused. The meaning of his words seemed to depend entirely on their father and daughter.

Lu Xingzhou pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of His Majesty today?"

Yuan Tong'er thought for a moment and said, "You may be gentle, courteous, and kind, and may seem like a wise king."

"Or similar?"

Lu Xingzhou asked with a smile.

"You don't have anyone else here, so he won't be on guard against you, a princess who doesn't have much power. Just say whatever you want."

Yuan Tong'er sighed lightly and said: "It's not that I dare not say it. I just feel that it really has nothing to do with me."

Yuan Ruo seems to be benevolent and righteous on the surface, but his eyes always give people the feeling of being secretly observing and looking deep into the city.

Like a person who puts his own interests first, but also wants to live up to his reputation.

As a monarch, if you want to save face, you will probably not do anything that is too laborious for the people and money, and you will not be too harsh on your brothers and sisters.

Yuan Tong'er thought that she was just an idle princess enjoying happiness. Since she couldn't interfere with Yuan Ruo's affairs, Yuan Ruo wouldn't do anything to her.

In this way, nothing has anything to do with her.

When Lu Xingzhou heard this, he nodded in agreement. Looking at Yuan Tong'er, her clear and transparent eyes were no longer the same as when they first met.

"Just enjoy your blessings. If you encounter any difficulties... there will be me."

The unconcealed passion in his eyes and the determination in his words made Yuan Tong'er panic slightly and quickly avoided the topic.

"...You haven't said yet why you suddenly mentioned His Majesty's temperament..."

Lu Xingzhou accepted it as soon as he was satisfied, drank a cup of hot tea, and said, "It's just random talk.

Did you hear that? Queen Mother Qu also invited her distant cousin and niece, and it was Qu Bai... who went to welcome her. "

Lu Xingzhou accidentally mentioned that person's name and stopped unconsciously. He raised his eyes slightly and quietly observed Yuan Tong'er's expression.

Seeing that her expression was unchanged, he also took a sip of tea. It seemed that he had not cared about that person for a long time. He just asked in a normal way: "Since she is the niece of Queen Mother Qu, I am afraid that her position cannot be lowered. I just don't know about this Qu family." How is your cousin's temperament?"

Lu Xingzhou said: "Her name is Qu Xian'er. She has been raised in the Qu family since she was a child. I have met her before. She is thin and small, but shrewd and ruthless. She is a person who can please people.

Now that Yuan Ruo has succeeded to the throne, Queen Qu intends to promote her own people, and the Qu family has finally survived! "

Yuan Tong'er put down the tea cup, "Who knows? Emperor Jingyuan used to say that he was afraid of the Qu family, and was not good to Yuan Ruo and Queen Qu. But no one expected that in the end, it was all to pave the way for Yuan Ruo. He will Ning Guo The Hou Mansion was all demolished...

The heart of an emperor is as deep as the sea, and we, old and young, were all fooled around. "

"It's just an ordinary imperial technique."

Lu Xingzhou smiled lightly and looked out the window at the heavy snow, his dark eyes glowing with a cold light.

"...It's just a pity that his Emperor Technique is probably still a little behind."

Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but look at Lu Xingzhou. She always felt that what Lu Xingzhou knew was not just what he said, but what he could tell her.

She opened her mouth and was about to ask when there was a burst of urgent footsteps outside the house. Then Lu Hua, who was guarding the door, knocked on the door and said urgently: "Your Highness, it's not good!"

"What did you say?!"

Yuan Tong'er was shocked, as if she had heard some shocking rumors.

Although he asked this question, the person walked out without stopping.

Luhua followed and said it again.

"Brother Feng from Prince Lian's Mansion came just now, saying that the palace suddenly summoned Miss Huan... No, it was Princess Lian who called her, saying that she was the assassin who had assassinated the late emperor before!

Even Prince Lian was imprisoned. It was said that he harbored assassins and harbored evil intentions, so he must have disobedient intentions! Now, Prince Lian’s Mansion has..."

Before she finished speaking, Yuan Tong'er suddenly stopped.

"No! No!"

Even if Yuan Ruo knew Cen Huan's identity, they had a friendship, and Cen Huan had saved his life. Even if he was sent to the prison of Prince Lian Yuanwu to get Cen Huan back, he would never do this to Cen Huan. A crime...

"...Not Yuan Ruo?"

Yuan Tong'er said to himself and began to make calculations in his mind.

If it wasn't Yuan Ruo, then maybe it was Queen Mother Qu? Queen Cai? Or is it the Qu Xianer who was just recruited?

If it were them, what should she do?

Yuan Tong'er's mind seemed to be about to explode. She knew that if she rushed to the palace now, no one in the palace would be willing to see her. Even if they met, they would not admit who brought Cen Huan in.

She needs to think carefully about how to deal with each of them!

But the more she tried to persuade herself to calm down and think about what to do, the more confused her mind became. All the miscellaneous thoughts came out together, pressing against the chest, making it painful.

She paced around eagerly, her nose felt sore, and even her intertwined hands couldn't help but tremble.

That's her sister...

elder sister……

A pair of warm hands suddenly grasped her trembling cold hand. She turned around suddenly and met Lu Xingzhou's worried eyes.

A drop of cold tears fell, and the chaos in his heart suddenly poured out like a flood.

"……Help……"

Yuan Tong'er said.

Lu Xingzhou was slightly stagnant.

Between the plain white sky and the earth, the strong wind whipped up the snow, hitting the stubborn and fragile rose-colored dress in front of him.

Her cheeks, which were as white as mutton fat, were only red at the corners of her eyes and between her nose.

He had never heard Yuan Tong'er say these three words, "Help me", even when it was a matter of her life or death.

Only then did Lu Xingzhou realize that she seemed to have always been stubborn. Although she never tried to show off, she had always been supporting herself.

Only this time, she panicked...

"it is good."
