Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

In the carriage, Lu Xinran was full of doubts.

What did the Queen Mother summon her to the palace for?

Wasn't she very well behaved from beginning to end yesterday, just eating and watching the fun?

Listening to her inner thoughts, Lu Xinlan had a thousand complaints to make, the kind that could directly make her die.

As the carriage swayed, the two sisters each had their own thoughts.

The sunset dyed the sky full, obliquely covering the entire palace, and the red walls and green tiles were all dyed with a thick golden halo.

Lu Xinran held Lu Xinlan's hand and jumped off the carriage. She looked up at the majestic and solemn imperial palace, her eyes full of shock.

[The palace that has become a ruin is obviously not bad, but compared to a palace with living people, it is still far inferior. 】

Lu Xinlan didn't dare let her continue to think about it, and hurriedly pulled her to follow the eunuch who passed the message. After the two were checked at the city gate, they were allowed in.

[It's almost dark, why did you summon me to the palace at this time? ]

[Can I go back to the Lu Mansion today? So many things have happened, I want to go back and see the results. ]

Pei should take this opportunity to completely clean out the men of the two concubines, and then take control of the entire Lu Mansion.

Lu Jinchuan should still be worried about his beloved son killing someone, after all, the person was captured by Song Junyan.

As a prince, he doesn't have to worry about his and Ma Jianbai's identities.

She entered the palace with Lu Xinlan, and the only two people who knew the inside story of the building were not there. He must be even more crazy now.

She was so happy that she almost laughed out loud when she thought that the old scumbag couldn't take advantage of them.

In Yongshou Palace, the empress dowager twirled the Buddhist beads with her fingertips, lowered her brows and muttered to herself.

The emperor rubbed his forehead and looked at the beads in her hand. He wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed it back helplessly.

The queen sat by the window, her eyes fixed on the sky outside the palace wall. She had been in a daze since returning to the palace last night. The emperor couldn't guess what she was thinking, and he was too lazy to guess.

It was all his own fault that he and the Queen had ended up in this situation.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. As an emperor, he had to make sacrifices for the sake of imperial power.

As the queen, the mother of the country, he believed that he had given the queen enough honor and dignity.

The three people in the room sat on each side, waiting for the person to be summoned to arrive.

The two sisters, covered in sunset clouds, entered Yongshou Palace under the guidance of palace servants.

Two slender and graceful figures, one lively and energetic, the other dignified and steady, walked across the palace gate together to greet the three people.

The empress dowager raised her eyes and saw two slender and graceful figures. After a brief thought, she guessed why Lu Xinlan came into the palace with them.

The relationship between these two sisters is even more harmonious than what we heard from their voices.

[Why is the Queen Mother looking at us like that? There shouldn't be anything inappropriate about my clothes today, right? ]

[Although Zhao is not very smart, my grandmother has been very kind to me recently. She gave me several boxes of hairpins, rings and jewelry. What I am wearing today... should not be out of fashion, right?]

The sweet mumbling of a young girl appeared in his ears, making the cold and quiet Yongshou Palace seem to come alive.

The Queen Mother smiled and gestured to a palace servant beside her, asking him to bring in a soft stool.

"Come sit down, let's talk."

The two sisters sat down obediently. Lu Xinran looked at their noses and their hearts, and moved back and hid behind Lu Xinlan.

"Did anything unexpected happen on the street today?"

"Your Highness, there was a murder case in Zuichunlou in Qingpingfang."

Lu Xinlan stood up and replied, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he said the three words "Zuichunlou".

It was at this moment that she realized that in such a time and space, it was shocking for two sisters to enter a brothel together.

The Queen Mother said "Oh", obviously curious about this murder case.

The emperor had heard about this matter before he came. The jealous drama in the brothel would only pollute the empress dowager's ears. He didn't want the empress dowager to hear more, so he coughed lightly.

"Mother, it's getting late. Is there something you want to tell the sisters to come to the palace?"

He asked bluntly, earning a roll of the eyes from the Queen Mother.

"It doesn't matter if it's late. I'll send someone to take them back later. Come, girl, tell me what happened to this murder case."

Lu Xinlan was in a dilemma. The matter involved Lu Kanghe and Lu Jinchuan, and no matter what she said, it would not be appropriate.

[I don't know how Song Junyan will judge this murder case? That Ma Wenang is too scheming. He planned the whole thing and tricked Tianxiang and Lu Kanghe into it. ]

[One was an accidental murder according to his plan, and the other was a thorough death as he wished, leaving no evidence related to him. ]

[He and his father both knew that Lu Kanghe was the old scumbag's most beloved son, and he would definitely use any stupid tricks for his son.]

[Even if this won't shake his position as the Minister of Justice, it will leave an impression of being immoral in the emperor's mind.]

[After a few times of this, when enough disappointment has accumulated, the position of Minister of Justice will naturally fall to Ma Jianbai.]

[Although the old scumbag is a little confused about matters between men and women, and favors his concubine over his wife, which is despicable, he still has principles in other matters. Although he is not a clear-headed and good official, he is not bad either.]

[But the conduct of that father and son... If Ma Jianbai were to become the Minister of Justice, how many unjust and wrong cases would there be in the Chu State?]

[By then, the entire Ministry of Justice will become the private property of the Ma family, right? Then they will commit crimes with high IQs, and you will not be able to find any fault at all. How terrible.]

Lu Xinran couldn't help but sigh when he thought of everything he had just seen in Zuichunlou.

Without more favorable evidence, even if Song Junyan could guess the cause and effect, it would be difficult to judge the case.

The empress dowager was confused and had no idea what had happened, but the emperor, who knew the general situation of the case, fell into deep thought.

Lord Zhongqin... is he really as this girl said, a scheming and cold-hearted person?

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the Fourth Prince is requesting an audience outside the palace."

"Why is he here?"

The Queen Mother looked at the two sisters strangely, and suddenly laughed as if she remembered something.

"Let him in."

Both of these sisters are good.

Although Lu Xinlan's background was relatively poor, she had been raised by the Pei family since she was a child, and was verbally assigned to the fourth son by the emperor a few years ago. Her words and deeds were restricted according to the standards of a prince's consort.

There's nothing wrong with giving it to the fourth child.

Song Junyan strode into the hall, his eyes swept over the two sisters whom he had just met in Chunlou, and a bit of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Father, I have some official business to report."

"It's about that building, right? My curiosity has just been aroused, so just tell me what's going on."

The Queen Mother originally wanted to let her listen to the excitement, but then she remembered that someone had died, and swallowed her words.

Song Junyan glanced curiously at Lu Xinran who was hiding in the back like a quail, and briefly recounted the incident.

It was not until this time that the Queen Mother understood the pros and cons of this matter.

"Is there any hidden secret in this? Fourth Brother, as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, you must do your job conscientiously and not protect any party."

Song Junyan: "...Yes, grandson has made note of it."

So, he was hit?

His gaze fell on Lu Xinran again. What exactly had she been thinking before he came?
