Lu Xinlan felt heavy in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly realized the responsibilities she needed to shoulder as the eldest daughter of a large family.

Fortunately, this body belongs to my sister.

Otherwise, with Lu Xinran's lively and cute personality, she really couldn't imagine how she would shoulder such a responsibility.

Given her personality, she might just mess things up and then shout: Destroy it!

Thinking of that scene, the heaviness in my heart seemed to have disappeared.

The emperor was sitting behind his desk, concentrating on dealing with memorials. When he heard the footsteps, he didn't even raise his head, but asked coldly, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, my two sisters received a shop and a farm from their mother before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, which is worth about 5,000 taels of silver."

The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at her inquiringly.

The eldest daughter of the Lu family is quite smart, and her thoughts are completely different from those chaotic ones.

Five thousand taels, the threshold is not low.

There are only a handful of families in Beijing who can afford to buy so much private property for their children before they get married.

As for ordinary people, even merchants with a small fortune might not be able to gather together enough assets of five thousand taels.

People who can hear their inner voices are relatively controllable.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought, his thoughts switching back and forth between killing Lu Xinran and letting her leave the palace.

Lu Xinlan knelt on the ground, motionless.

Her heart was already hanging in her throat, and she could guess why the emperor was hesitating at this moment.

But she didn't dare say another word. The emperor was suspicious and might end up making things worse if he wasn't careful. So the only thing she could do now was to wait.

In Changchun Palace, Lu Xinran was fidgeting and looking outside all the time.

It’s late at night, why hasn’t Lu Xinlan come back yet?

Zhang Shui'er could feel her worry and anxiety. She looked to the queen for help, but the queen just shook her head helplessly.

Having been married to the emperor for so many years, she had already guessed the answer to why the emperor called someone over, but she couldn't guess what decision the emperor would make in the end.

Life and death are just a thought away. This is the ruthlessness of the emperor.

Lu Xinran, who had no idea what was happening from beginning to end, was still worried about others at this moment, not realizing that he had already fallen into danger.

"Tongzi, why are you so useless? If there were no distance limit, I would know what happened now!"

The system that she despised was still autistic at this time.

It can't even cry, and it's about to burst at any time. It must be the most pitiful one among all the children.

"If there were no distance limit, even if I was unlucky enough to enter the harem, I would definitely be able to eat melons anytime and I wouldn't die."

Lu Xinran was still mumbling without getting a response, and the system started howling like a cat whose paw had been stepped on.

"How can you blame me for this? It's obviously you who have low emotional intelligence and are stupid. You can't even eat melon properly. You just complain in your heart and say useless things."

One person and one system started fighting in his mind. As soon as Lu Xinlan walked into Changchun Palace, he heard a familiar noise.

She couldn't help but laugh. It was great that the silly girl was still as energetic as ever.

Seeing her come in, Lu Xinran rushed to her almost instantly and looked her up and down carefully.

"I'm fine, I just went to reply to a few words."

She pulled Lu Xinran into the hall, bowed to the Queen, and then sat down at the Queen's invitation.

The queen looked at her with a smile, and Lu Xinlan spoke without waiting for her to ask.

"Just now, two cousins ​​came to the palace and told me that my grandmother was ill, my third uncle was in prison, and my grandfather was too busy to take care of the affairs of the palace.

"They just got a farm and a shop from their aunt a few days ago, and have just started to learn how to manage household affairs. They are still unable to help with the affairs of the mansion.

"I hope my sister and I can come home soon and help out."

She spoke with worry, but the Queen and Zhang Shui'er's attention were all focused on that farm and that shop.

It turned out to be the case.

If you want to hear people’s voices, you not only need an official position, but also private property.

Such a threshold should make the emperor feel a little relieved, right?

Lu Xinran's attention was all focused on Pei's illness. Why did she fall ill out of nowhere?

What did the old scumbag say or do after he returned home?

His precious illegitimate son's life is in danger, and he still has the mind to show off his power in front of his wife?

She was somewhat eager to leave the palace, but she had a vague feeling that the two sisters seemed to be temporarily locked up in the palace.

When he returned to Yongshou Palace at night, Lu Xinlan cryptically recounted what had happened that day.

As the champion of palace fighting, the Queen Mother naturally heard the multiple meanings in her words in an instant.

However, as the empress dowager, she could not give a definite answer as to when the two sisters could leave the palace without the emperor's order.

"I will have Lu Mansion deliver a message tomorrow. You just stay in my palace."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Lu Xinlan calmly took Lu Xinran back to the room.

Lu Xinran stood by the window, feeling something was odd.

"Sister, why can't we leave the palace yet? Is it because of the murder case of Third Uncle and the youngest son of Lord Zhongqin?"

She couldn't think of any other reason.

"Maybe. The Queen Mother wants us to stay here peacefully. Let's not speculate too much."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Lu Xinran ate and slept carefreely. As long as she was not allowed to leave the palace, she would enjoy the delicious food sent by the imperial kitchen.

Such a good attitude of going with the flow surprised the Queen Mother and the Empress.

Nowadays, the countryside has become a Feng Shui treasure land, can it raise such a strange thing?

After all, the charm of playing cards is not as good as that of mahjong. Lu Xinran extended her claws of three missing one to the Queen Mother, and then she found that she lost even more miserably!

She ate and drank in the palace as if she were on vacation. As the master of the palace, the emperor didn't even have the heart to go into the harem to call for water in the past two days.

After hesitating for a few days, he finally didn't dare to gamble.

He was very afraid that the unfortunate system would really break into pieces, allowing everyone to see other people's privacy and have their own voices heard.

If there were no secrets under the heavens, he, the emperor, would lose all his dignity.

If we can’t let Lu Xinran die, we must protect her and keep her alive!

The imperial physician, the secret guards, and the beatings of court officials.

The emperor was upset and summoned Lu Jinchuan into the palace to give him a severe beating. He also called Tang Quyan and Song Junyan to assign them tasks.

After being busy for a few days, the emperor finally sorted out the follow-up and breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched and walked briskly to Yongshou Palace. His mood suddenly became bad again.

Why did he and his court officials work hard from dawn to dusk for several days and become exhausted?

That troublesome guy eats and drinks every day, and his face has become fat and round? !

The emperor, who was mentally broken, threw the two sisters, who were completely confused, out of the palace that day.

At the palace gate, Lu Xinran felt regretful as he touched the soft flesh on his belly.

"It's a pity that we haven't had time to ask the imperial chef to restore the maoxuewang and boiled pork."

They had just become a little more familiar with the Empress Dowager and could use her power to order food from the imperial kitchen, but how come they were kicked out at such an unfortunate moment!

Lu Xinlan didn't know how to face her carelessness, so she pulled him into the carriage back home.

"Grandma is still sick."

"Oh, yes, there is no place like home. Let's go back quickly."
