The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the Prince's Mansion, Concubine Xiao received a report from the maid.

Concubine Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of the big news that had been circulating in the city in the past few days. She felt relieved and couldn't help but sighed: "Your Highness and Sister Lu are finally back safely."

Although she had not stayed in the East Palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before and did not know what the situation was in the palace, Xiao Shuyi had always sent people out of the palace to inquire about the news. Fortunately, there was no trouble in Shengjing City.

"Qingcong, go to the main kitchen and tell them to make more dishes that Sister Lu likes."

Qingcong replied yes and left.

Inside Jingxiang Courtyard.

After washing up, Lu Xiaoxiao just climbed onto the bed, thinking about having a good sleep. During the days in the East Palace, she was worried about things, and His Highness could not always be by her side, so she could not sleep well.

It was not until she lay in her most familiar bed that Lu Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

It turns out that no matter how good a place is, it’s not as good as your own doghouse!

"Master, the concubine is here."

Bai Zhi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

The concubine sister is here?

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. She jumped up from the couch, walked over quickly, opened the door, and looked outside: "Where is the concubine? Bai Zhi, please ask the concubine to come over."

Seeing her master so anxious, Bai Zhi hurriedly said, "Master, don't panic. The concubine hasn't arrived in the yard yet. Master, please wait a little longer. I am here to report to you first."

At this point, Bai Zhi pursed her lips and smiled. She hadn't expected that her master would like to see the concubine so much.

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding, and said, "Then come in and help me comb my hair, and let Bai Zhu and Chen Lu guard the gate."

"Yes, master."

Lu Xiaoxiao and Bai Zhi entered the room together.

Bai Zhu and Chen Lu received orders from their master and stood guard at the gate of Jingxiang Courtyard, waiting for the concubine to come.

The maids were also happy about the fact that their master was on good terms with the concubine. After all, she had a backer, so one more wouldn't make much, but one less would be really less.

Now in the Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Concubine are all willing to support their master. It can be said that the master can walk around the mansion with his free will.

In the entire Prince's Mansion, no one dared to look down on the maids working in Jingxiang Courtyard.

Whenever Bai Zhi and the other three walk outside, they are respectfully addressed as "sister".

Thinking about her sister, the concubine, coming over, Lu Xiaoxiao urged Bai Zhi to come over. She only let Bai Zhi comb her hair into a simple bun and then change into a lavender dress.

After looking at herself in the mirror several times, Lu Xiaoxiao was satisfied and praised Bai Zhi: "Bai Zhi's hands are so skillful. She can make her hair look so beautiful even with a simple bun! I wonder which good man she will marry in the future..."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi's cheeks blushed: "Master, you are joking."

"Bai Zhi, I'm telling the truth!"

Lu Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Bai Zhi: "..."

Bai Zhi was originally thin-skinned, and when her master praised her a little more, she immediately felt uncomfortable all over. Bai Zhi coughed lightly, and her ears blushed slightly. "Master, the concubine should be here soon."

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao covered her lips and chuckled: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Bai Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and the blush on her face gradually faded away.

If she had a choice, she would rather not marry and be someone else's wife, but stay by her master's side and guard him.

Not long after Lu Xiaoxiao came out of the room, Concubine Xiao appeared in front of the gate of Jingxiang Courtyard.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked over quickly, she curved her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine, you are finally here!"

[I haven't seen you for a few days. Sister Concubine seems to be more beautiful! 】

Concubine Xiao: "..."

Concubine Xiao covered her lips and coughed lightly. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her beautiful eyes were full of smiles. She took Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and walked into the room with her. She joked, "I've been waiting for Sister Lu to come back in the mansion. I've lost a lot of weight waiting."

"is it?"

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled innocently, "It's my fault, I should have come back earlier."

Concubine Xiao couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch her cheek, and said with a deliberately stern face: "Forget it, forget it, I have always been magnanimous, so I won't bother with you about this little thing."

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled as she said, "Then I would like to thank Sister Concubine."

"You."

Seeing the narrow smile in Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Concubine Xiao said helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about business first."

After Lu Xiaoxiao and Concubine Xiao entered the room together, Bai Zhi did not follow them in, but stood guard at the door.

Although she didn't know what Concubine Xiao wanted to say to her master, it would be right for her to stay outside and absolutely not let anyone else overhear.

Qingcong had already received instructions from Concubine Xiao -

She stayed in the yard, waiting for her master to come out.

inside the room.

Lu Xiaoxiao had just picked up the teapot and was about to pour a cup of tea for Concubine Xiao when she heard Concubine Xiao say, "Did anything happen during the days that Sister Lu stayed in the East Palace?"

"what?"

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the concubine sister would suddenly ask about this. She was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted, "I stayed in the East Palace those days. His Highness was not there, and I didn't go out much. I didn't know what happened in the palace. The only thing I know is that the Fourth Prince and Prince Su suddenly forced the palace to rebel, but they were set up by the emperor and caught in one fell swoop..."

"Speaking of which, His Majesty is quite powerful. Even when the Fourth Prince colluded with Prince Su to rebel, His Majesty was able to receive the news in advance and even made a special arrangement to lure them all out..."

[It seems that His Majesty's intelligence network is indeed very powerful. Perhaps, when the Yan army entered the city, they had already been closely monitored by His Majesty's people. His Majesty also knew that the Yan army was hiding in Prince Su's private residence. As long as His Majesty took action, it would be equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the Fourth Prince and Prince Su.]

[It seems that the outcome of this battle has already been decided. ]

Emperor Li, who was in the Golden Palace and was about to send today's memorial to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, suddenly sneezed several times.

Emperor Li frowned slightly. Who was talking about him?

-

Lu Xiaoxiao almost told Concubine Xiao everything she had seen and heard in the palace. She talked until her mouth was dry and she even drank several cups of tea. Concubine Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have been very busy these days. The weather has turned cooler and a bit dry recently. Why don't you try to make some snow pear soup for His Royal Highness yourself, Sister Lu?"

"I?"

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly showed a conflicted look on her face, and said hesitantly: "How about I give it a try?"

"That would be the best."

Concubine Xiao smiled.

Suddenly, she glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao's abdomen calmly.

Lu Xiaoxiao noticed Concubine Xiao's gaze: ???

[Sister Concubine is a little strange, why are you staring at me like that? ]

[It can't be that a flower suddenly grew on my dress, right? ]

Hearing the inner voice, Concubine Xiao's eyes paused slightly, and she quickly looked away. She clenched her fist and coughed lightly, and said tactfully: "Sister Lu, do you feel that Jingxiang Courtyard is quieter?"

"Ok?"

Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the window. For a moment, she could not hear the sound of people talking outside. It was indeed quite quiet, but she liked this kind of quietness very much.

Compared to Concubine Xiao's Qingshu Courtyard, Jingxiang Courtyard did seem quite deserted. However, there weren't many people working in Jingxiang Courtyard. Apart from her four maids, there were only two maids tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard...

Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it and didn’t know why Concubine Xiao said that. She answered truthfully: "It is very quiet, but——" I like it very much.

Concubine Xiao sighed softly, "Sister Lu feels the same way, but I wonder when Sister Lu and His Highness will have a child?"

"???"

Lu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

[Wait, the concubine sister is here to induce labor!? ]

[Don't you find it strange that Concubine is here to urge me and His Highness? 】

"..."

Concubine Xiao lowered her head silently, thinking about how to persuade Sister Lu.

In fact, if Concubine Xiao hadn't mentioned it, Lu Xiaoxiao would have no intention of having a child for the Crown Prince.

What's more, she just chatted with His Highness under the quilt every night. His Highness indulged her and cared for her, and nothing of that kind had ever happened between them.

However, Concubine Xiao had no idea about it at all.

She did not pay too much attention to the affairs between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sister Lu. She just wanted Sister Lu to give birth to a child for His Royal Highness as soon as possible. Perhaps in the future she would have the opportunity to become the Crown Princess by virtue of having a child.

Now that the Fourth Prince has fallen, perhaps the other princes will be secretly plotting something.

After all, on the surface, the Fourth Prince is still the legitimate son of his father, the Emperor, and his mother, the Empress. His father can even abolish his legitimate son. From this point of view, the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not very stable. If they make some efforts behind the scenes, it is hard to say which prince will eventually take the position of Crown Prince.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no Crown Princess, no legitimate son, and even no illegitimate son...

This is exactly what Concubine Xiao was worried about.

Sister Lu once saved the Xiao family and saved the lives of everyone in the Xiao family. Concubine Xiao believed that Sister Lu deserved the best.

"Why would Concubine think so?"

After calming down, Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Concubine Xiao with wide eyes, and said hesitantly: "Did Concubine Xiao hear any rumors outside?"

"Nothing at all."

Facing Lu Xiaoxiao's almond eyes that were vaguely filled with trepidation, Concubine Xiao relaxed her expression and softened her tone: "Sister Lu, do you want to be the Crown Princess?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked: "Me? To be the Crown Princess?"

[How did the concubine know that I wanted to be the crown princess? ]

[Based on my family background, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about me, I can't jump from a good lady to the position of Crown Princess, right? His Majesty will never agree to it! ]

[Are you kidding me, Concubine? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao touched her nose and said sincerely, "Sister Concubine, don't forget that I am just a concubine now. Even if I am the Crown Prince's concubine, I am still a concubine and cannot be the Crown Prince's consort."

"Sister Concubine, please don't plan anything for me. I can't even pass the test of His Majesty."

"Besides, I don't want to embarrass His Highness."

Concubine Xiao: "Has Sister Lu ever asked His Highness what he thinks?"

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Your Highness has been very busy recently, and I don't want to cause any more trouble for Your Highness."

Concubine Xiao was silent.

After a long while, Concubine Xiao raised her hand and rubbed her hair gently. After a while, she said, "Okay, I understand."

Sister Lu didn't mention it, but she still wanted to fight for Sister Lu.

Concubine Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed that it was time for dinner again, "Sister, can you stay and have dinner with Sister Lu?"

Lu Xiaoxiao responded without hesitation: "Of course you can."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from outside: "Is your master in the room?"

"To reply to His Royal Highness, the master is inside with the concubine."

This is the voice of Baizhu.

After Lu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, she stood up suddenly and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine, it's His Highness who is here."

"I'll open the door."

Concubine Xiao: "..."

His Highness is here, so I'm afraid she can't stay and have dinner with Sister Lu.

Ever since Sister Lu was caught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for frequently going to Qingshu Courtyard, Concubine Xiao has heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's extremely subtle reminders, asking Sister Lu to go to his courtyard less often and to spend more time with him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When Concubine Xiao heard these words, she almost laughed out loud in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but fortunately she held herself back.

She had never seen a man as clingy as the Crown Prince.

I have to stick to Sister Lu.

The door was opened.

Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao standing at the door, Xie Xi's eyes softened. He was about to speak, but suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Concubine Xiao standing beside him.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Concubine Xiao stood up and saluted respectfully. Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed suit.

Normally, when she met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she would either be very perfunctory in paying her respects or simply forget about it, which meant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never cared.

Xie Xi frowned slightly, raised his hand, and said gently, "No need to be polite."

After saying that, Xie Xi did not walk into the room, but stretched out his hand and held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand. His eyes were so focused that only her figure could be seen. "Your hands are a little cold. What did you say in the room just now?"

Concubine Xiao had long been accustomed to it and silently treated herself as if she did not exist.

It's this dog food that makes me choke.

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes became vague, her porcelain-white cheeks unconsciously flushed, and she looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She really didn't know how to answer.

[My sister and I just talked about having children, but Your Highness must not know about it——]

Xie Xi raised his eyebrows: Hmm? Giving birth to a child?

Concubine Xiao was shocked:!!!

"Sister Lu!"

Concubine Xiao almost forgot that His Highness had heard Sister Lu’s thoughts!

"Ah? Concubine sister?"

When Lu Xiaoxiao was called, she stopped thinking about it.

Concubine Xiao calmed herself down, but was caught off guard by the Crown Prince's meaningful gaze.

She pretended to be calm and replied, "Your Highness, Sister Lu and I are preparing to have dinner together. I wonder if Your Highness has had dinner yet?"
