Lu Ze lowered his head and covered Lu Yuan's mouth tightly.
He felt indescribable regret in his heart. If he had not been soft-hearted on the old lady's birthday and allowed Lin Wan'er to commit a capital crime, he would have run to Xiao Yunxi to expose her and win her favor.
If I had taken the old prince's dagger that day and stabbed Lin Wan'er's neck fiercely...
If I had respected Xiao Yunxi like Lu Zhan from the beginning...
Are he and his sister still the legitimate sons and daughters of a noble family, rather than illegitimate sons and daughters born to an ugly and unfavored concubine?
In recent days, not to mention the masters in the mansion, even the maids and servants have been much negligent towards them. Their food, clothing and other expenses are not as good as before, and there are also old women who call them low-born in front of them.
The change in status made him completely understand the huge difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.
He also understood that his father did not necessarily have his mother, the old lady and the old prince did not care about their lowly great-grandchildren, and the princess did not like them very much either.
The only person in the palace who can be truly trusted is Xiao Yunxi.
Xiao Yunxi no longer paid attention to Ruan and Lu Jingting. She turned around and asked with narrowed eyes, "Lin Wan'er, weren't there maids guarding you? How did you get out?"
"Maid...maid..."
Lin Wan'er pinched her fingers nervously and didn't dare to look up at all.
"She crawled out from the dog hole in the back wall!"
Cuiwei walked over from not far away, bowed, and then stood beside Xiao Yunxi, "A few days ago, you and the old lady and princess were not in the mansion, so Master Ze and Miss Yuan asked around for the reason, but since the old prince had given the order, no one dared to tell them.
Aunt Lin was a very cunning woman. She would crawl out of the dog hole at midnight every day to see the young master and the young lady.
I guess he found out the prince's whereabouts, so he crawled out in the middle of the day and came to the garden to block people."
Xiao Yunxi said nonchalantly, "Then tie her up and stuff her back through the dog hole!
After saying that, Xiao Yunxi turned around and prepared to leave.
Lu Jingting was sweating profusely from the pain, "Yun Xi..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yunxi whipped him with a whip, "Stop making any more noises and disgusting me!"
After returning to Feiyu Pavilion, Xiao Yunxi still had an expression of disgust on her face.
Cui smiled and said, "Congratulations, Princess, you got what you wanted."
Xiao Yunxi smiled, "How do you know that my wish is to leave the Zhennan Palace, not to massacre the Zhennan Palace?"
Cuiwei paused, "My words are not good, I wish you success in completing the first step of your wish."
Xiao Yunxi stared at Cuiwei for a while, "You are very smart. You must protect yourself and Hongyu in the future. If there is any situation, send the servant of Zhaocai to the second gate to send a letter to me. I will not ignore your life or death.
Of course, what I promised you before still counts."
Cuiwei's smile became more sincere when she heard this, "Of course I believe in you, my lady. I will wait in the mansion for the day when you get what you wish for."
Xiao Yunxi smiled and said nothing.
After taking a sip of tea, she said calmly, "Lin Wan'er should not stay in the mansion any longer. Tomorrow morning, tie her up and send her to the manor!"
As for Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, they had already been registered under Lin Wan'er's name, and keeping them in the mansion was really an eyesore.
They are about to leave the palace, so it would be best to send Lin Wan'er, her son and her mother away as far as possible, leaving enough time for Lu Zhan, Cuiwei and Hongyu. At least we have to wait until Lu Zhan becomes the prince's companion and Hongyu is out of confinement before we can talk about other things.
Cuiwei shook her head and said, "Princess, you are too soft-hearted. If it were another mistress, she would definitely not let the mother and her two children leave alive."
"It's not that I'm soft-hearted." Xiao Yunxi said calmly, "I just think their blood is too dirty and I don't want to get my hands on it."
What's more, even King Dingyuan said that Lin Wan'er's identity was not simple. How can we find out who is behind her if she died like that?
Cuiwei felt that Xiao Yunxi was just being stubborn. The Ningguo Mansion's Xiao family was famous for its good family tradition, and the princess was just kind.
Xiao Yunxi didn't want to say anything more, so she told her, "Hongyu is still in confinement after giving birth, so you can arrange for Lin Wan'er to go to the manor."
"Yes." Cuiwei went there immediately.
As soon as I arrived at Hongyu's room and wanted to see the child, I retched several times.
Hongyu looked surprised, "Are you pregnant?"
Cuiwei shook her head and patted her chest. "Maybe I ate something bad. I always drink contraceptive soup."
Hongyu sighed, "It's a good thing that we don't have one. Don't be like me, I almost lost my life. The prince... now we can't call him the prince anymore, we have to call him the Third Master. He's not worth risking our lives to have a child with!"
Cui smiled, "No more talking, I'll go and do what the princess asked me to do first." When the old prince heard that Xiao Yunxi wanted to send Lin Wan'er and her son to the farm, he thought for a while and only ordered, "Send Lin Wan'er away first, don't let her die."
It was Xiao Yunxi who ordered the people to be sent away. If anything is investigated in the future, it cannot be blamed on the Zhennan Palace. As long as the two little ones are still alive, it will be enough.
Xiao Yunxi sat by the pond feeding the fish thoughtfully. Lin Wan'er's eyes always seemed very familiar. Who did she look like?
Chunxiao brought some tea and said softly, "Princess, please have some hot tea."
Xiao Yunxi took the teacup and said, "Chun Xiao, Xia He, do you think Lin Wan'er's eyes are familiar?"
Xia He thought about it for a while, "When she cried, she looked a bit like Concubine Rong back then."
Xiao Yunxi suddenly raised her head, it’s true!
This Concubine Rong was the only concubine who could compete with the Queen for favor back then!
Rongpin was the biological daughter of Marquis Wu'an, and could be considered childhood sweethearts with her uncle, the emperor. Although she was only pretty, she was gentle and talented, and was very favored.
However, she was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, and died of illness before she was 30. Because she never gave birth to an heir, she was not even eligible to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
But how could Lin Wan'er be related to Concubine Rong?
Could it be that Lin Wan'er is the granddaughter of Marquis Wu'an? The granddaughter?
"Xia He, go check the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to see if they have any dealings with the old prince, and also check if there were any children missing from their family more than a decade ago!"
"Do you suspect that Lin Wan'er came from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?"
Xiao Yunxi shook her head. "It's just a guess. Go check it out."
If Lin Wan'er is really the child of the Marquis of Wu'an, it may not be so easy to get rid of her and Lu Jingting in the future.
After all, Marquis Wu'an had just sent a granddaughter into the palace not long ago. It was said that she looked very similar to Concubine Rong and was very favored.
However, if Lu Jingting knew that his "beloved concubine" came from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and had a favored imperial concubine sister, haha, his face would definitely be very happy.
Will you still pretend to be affectionate and disgust yourself?
On the other side, Cuiwei took a few sturdy old women to deal with Lin Wan'er.
First, he asked the servant to bring the cart that was usually used to transport toilets, and then he took the maids to tie Lin Wan'er, Lu Zhan and Lu Yuan up and put them on the cart.
Lin Wan'er screamed fiercely, "I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince!"
A maid spat, slapped him several times, and said viciously: "It's all because of you, a lowly maid, that the prince was deposed by the emperor!
The one who hates you the most now is the prince.
If I had gone to Zhuangzi honestly, maybe I could have lived a few more days.
Otherwise, the prince might break your neck on the spot!"
Lin Wan'er suddenly felt suffocated and could no longer utter a sound, allowing the old women to laugh at and humiliate her.
It's over, it's all over...
Lu Jingting is no longer the prince. What should Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er do? Can that man keep his word?
