Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

As the person who paid the most attention to the Second Prince's every move, Lu Anyuan, as well as the spies in the palace and the people outside the palace who were monitoring the ten guards, also found the news sent back equally boring.

Without exception, no one noticed anything unusual.

But the longer this situation dragged on, the more uneasy Lu Anyuan felt. He knew that his second brother must have some purpose by coming back this time, but he just wouldn't take any action. Isn't this just playing tricks on him?

For this purpose, he deliberately provoked and tested him several times, and even asked his fifth brother to speed up his actions, but the second prince remained calm and steady as a rock.

The Second Prince's cultivation in the palace was completely in vain. Just like when he was in the capital before, he not only attended court every day, but also took care of all the political affairs of the capital.

It can be seen that he has made great progress in recent days. If he continues like this, maybe his father will write off all the previous events. Who knows.

Two months have passed in a flash, midsummer is over and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

Xu Yixing was not as nervous as Lu Anyuan, nor did she care about the ceremony she was about to attend, because she was now extremely busy with the "happy event" at home.

There was no one in charge of the palace, and her father wanted her to go back to help. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't refuse, and she had no way to refuse. So she could only use the excuse that the palace also needed someone to take care of it, and she didn't live back home. It was tiring to run back and forth like this.

Just because Xu Yiwen refused to attend the wedding, his father had sent four or five groups of people up the mountain. After Xu Yixing had a long talk with his father all night, he reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​​​kidnapping him back.

She had even been to the Zuo Mansion twice and met the rumored fierce stepmother, but she hadn't seen anything yet. Madam Zuo was just indifferent, but she wasn't rude at all, so she just treated it as doing a favor for someone else and didn't take it seriously.

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she finally packed up everything in the Xu Mansion and returned home under the stars and the moon, with a gloomy face.

"Why do you always sigh when you come back recently? Is it because your father made you angry?" Lu Anyuan always liked to follow Xu Yixing closely, and no one knew what was wrong with him.

"No, it's just that the house is decorated with lights and colors. I can't stand it, so naturally I'm not happy about it."

"You are really weird. If you don't want to marry General Xu, why don't you just tell him directly or refuse to take charge? Why do you have to make yourself so uncomfortable now?"

"It's hard to be a daughter! When you and I met by chance at Jingxi Temple, weren't you there to pray for the Second Prince? Was that what you wanted?"

"Yeah...that's right." Lu Anyuan was very satisfied with the analogy. He immediately felt the same way and hugged her lovingly to comfort her.

"You have been keeping an eye on the Second Prince, have you heard any movement?"

"If I have to call it abnormal, I always feel that Concubine Ying is a little too quiet in the cold palace."

Xu Yixing turned around, leaned against the cabinet, and tilted his head, as if asking why.

"It's been so long since my second brother returned to the capital. Even if the news is kept secret in the cold palace, she should have known about it. It stands to reason that Ying Fei, who is aware of her support, has returned, so she should have made some moves. That's why I said she was too quiet."

Xu Yixing rolled his eyes and quickly understood: "Do you think that the Second Prince has already sent someone to contact Concubine Ying, and at least has stabilized her and prevented her from causing trouble?"

"That's what I mean. That's why I'm very curious about what excuse my second brother used to keep Concubine Ying in the cold palace for two months without causing any trouble. It's very puzzling!" Lu Anyuan said, scratching his head. If he didn't figure this out, he would be in a very passive position.

"Forget it. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. This year it will be held in the outer palace. Let's prepare in advance!" Xu Yixing gave Lu Anyuan a symbolic hug as a response. Ever since she stopped taking the medicine, the two of them didn't dare to get too close, for fear that they would control themselves and mess up the situation.

This time they really need to prepare well. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be on the 15th, but they will leave the city on the 14th and will not be able to return until the 16th after the 15th. The 18th is the wedding date of the Xu family, which is too tight. Xu Yixing must prepare everything for the next five or six days, which is really difficult.

After packing up a lot of things, they finally set out on time with the main group on the 14th. Fortunately, the left assistant minister is no longer an official, and his family is not included in the outer palace night banquet, otherwise this time would be even more tense.

Xu Yixing and Lu Anyuan rode in a carriage, following the emperor and empress's carriage, passing behind many empresses' carriages, which was quite pleasant. This time was different from the past. The empress dowager was very gracious and came from the palace to travel with the emperor. It was said that it was also to comfort the fourth princess and ease the relationship with the second prince.

The scene was so grand that Xu Yixing had been feeling uneasy since he left the house.

"Yuan, I feel so uncomfortable." She covered her chest and felt like she couldn't breathe.

"What's wrong? Didn't the breakfast taste good?" Lu Anyuan's face was full of worry. He was following a large group and couldn't stop even if he wanted to.

"No, it's probably because it's too stuffy in here, and my chest feels really stuffy."

Lu Anyuan opened the window to get some fresh air, but the dust from the car in front almost made him close the window immediately, and he could only worry.

"What should we do? It will take more than half a day to get to Gushan Mountain!"

Xu Yixing raised his head in pain, the scene in front of him was a little blurry. "How about, wait until we get to the fork in the road between Gushan and Nanshan, you let me down, I'll take a rest, and then go up the mountain when I feel better?"

"How can we do this!" The royal procession was huge, with a bunch of ministers' cars following behind. It would be too suspicious to leave the procession without permission.

In fact, Xu Yixing also knew that it was not right, but he felt very uncomfortable now. He felt like there was a fire burning in his heart and he was very uncomfortable.

"It's okay for me to go a little later. No one will notice with so many people around anyway."

"Then I'll accompany you."

"No! It would be obvious if you left the team. Listen to me, I'll go downstairs for a walk. It will be quick to ride there in the afternoon."

Lu Anyuan hesitated for a long time, but finally gave in when he saw her red face. He didn't let her leave until they reached the fork in the road up the mountain.

Xu Yixing hurried to the fork in the road and walked a little further to avoid the people behind him noticing that he had left. After waiting for a long time, he saw Ying Wu leading two horses over.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Look." Xu Yixing half-knelt on the ground, no longer caring about his dress getting dirty.

Ying Wu stepped forward and felt his pulse, looking relaxed: "This is the effect of the medicine you took before. You must have been overworked recently and your body is weak, which is why the disease recurred."

Hearing this, Xu Yixing really wanted to pull Ying Jiu out and beat him up. He was really good at making trouble instead of helping others! Don't wait until you die of a nosebleed, right?
