If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

After three days of hypnosis, Guangning finally stopped struggling and screaming hysterically.

"Guangning?" Concubine Yao called her cautiously.

She was afraid of scaring her daughter.

The emperor and Lu Heng stood by the door and dared not go near, fearing that Guangning would lose control again if he saw them.

"Mother." Guangning smiled on his palm-thin face.

Concubine Yao was so moved that she almost cried.

This was the first time Guangning called her so calmly since the incident.

"Why am I here?" Guangning asked puzzledly.

Lu Heng whispered, "There was a banquet in the palace, you drank too much, and took a nap in Zhaoxi Palace."

"No wonder I have a headache." Guangning said with a smile.

"My dear, I'm so tired."

The emperor quickly said, "Then take a good rest and go back when you are not tired anymore."

Guangning smiled at the emperor and said, "Father is still the best to me."

"Mother also said that I am married now and can no longer act like a child."

Imperial Concubine Yao suppressed her tears and said, "How dare you say that."

The three of them exchanged glances, and it seemed that they had successfully made Guangning forget about the incident.

Although I don’t know how much Guangning has forgotten, at least he won’t hurt himself again.

It’s hateful that Mrs. Huang treated Guangning in such a way.

She really should have Mrs. Huang tortured to death.

Leaving Lu Heng to accompany Guangning, Concubine Yao and the Emperor walked out of the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, although Guangning has woken up now, there are still a lot of rumors outside. I am afraid that if they get to her ears, she will recall the unbearable memories." Concubine Yao was very worried.

"It would be better to let Lu Heng take Guangning away from Shangjing, and let them come back after this matter has settled down and everyone has forgotten about it," said the emperor.

Imperial Concubine Yao's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea, but... Lu Heng is the consort of the emperor. If he is sent out, what kind of position will Your Majesty give him? Will the censor impeach him?"

"The salt transport commissioner of Huainan retired not long ago, so let Lu Heng take Guangning to Huainan." said the emperor.

As for the Censorate, so what if he wants to give his son-in-law a real job? It is not their turn to impeach him.

It was two days later that Lu Heng brought Guangning back to the princess's mansion.

"My dear Prince Consort, why do I feel like I'm seriously ill? I can't breathe after just walking a few steps." Guangning was a little confused. Was she really just drunk?

She has no memory of this at all.

I don't even remember why I went to the palace for the banquet.

"Everyone will feel dizzy after getting drunk. You caught a cold after getting drunk, and you have been running a high fever. You were unconscious for several days before waking up. It will take more than one or two days to recover." Lu Heng said softly.

Guangning: "No wonder I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things."

Lu Heng smiled and helped her out of the carriage carefully.

"Where is Xiaochun?" Guangning found that the maid who usually served her was missing.

There are quite a few new faces in the princess's mansion.

"The Imperial Concubine was angry that they didn't serve you well, so she sent them to other places as punishment. These are the maids that the Imperial Concubine specially selected for you." Lu Heng said.

Guangning felt something strange in her heart, but she got tired too easily. After walking for a while, she felt darkness in front of her eyes.

"You take the medicine and rest first. I will go back to the Duke's Mansion to give instructions. Then we will go to Huainan alone." Lu Heng said.

He didn't expect that because of the Guangning incident, he would be able to get a real job.

Huainan Salt Transport Commissioner...

That was a third-rank official position and he held real power.

Guangning smiled and said yes.

……

……

Shen Sui'an felt mixed emotions when he heard that Lu Heng was going to Huainan to take up the post.

It’s really... a bargain for him!

"After a year or two, when I come back from Huainan, it will be impossible for me to work in the Ministry of Rites as a sinecure," said Shen Sui'an.

Isn't it destined that Lu Heng will eventually reach the pinnacle of his life and become an all-powerful official?

She had put so much thought into her rebirth, not because she wanted to see Lu Heng holding the same power as in her previous life.

Lu Yuan said calmly, "Then he should pray to the gods every day, and don't let the Pacification Bureau catch the real culprit."

"Before Madam Huang was born, she went to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple, and the maidservants around Princess Yongning also appeared there."

Shen Sui'an was surprised, "Princess Yongning?"

She never doubted Princess Yongning.

"This palace maid is a spy arranged by the Bai family in the palace." Lu Yuan threw out another bigger piece of news.

Shen Sui'an's eyes moved slightly, "So, the case can be solved soon?"

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes to look at her, "The Pacification Office is looking for this palace maid. If we can find her alive, we may be able to solve the case."

"I remember that I met Princess Yongning and Miss Huang at a banquet before. They had a very close relationship," said Shen Sui'an.

If Princess Yongning really took action, she should be doing it to avenge Miss Huang.

Madam Huang wanted to prevent Princess Yongning from being discovered.

Lu Yuan patted her hands and said, "Don't make this public for now. If it has something to do with the first wife, Lu Heng might know about it."

Shen Sui'an looked slightly stern, "Guangning is very vicious to others, but he is sincere to Lu Heng. If he didn't stop the first wife from hurting Guangning for his own sake, it would be really disgusting."

After the couple finished their whisper, they went to the upper room.

The Duke looked rosy-cheeked. When he learned that Lu Heng was going to Huainan to serve as the Salt Transport Commissioner, he seemed to be cured of his illness and was able to get out of bed immediately.

Lu Heng looked coldly at Lu Heng and Shen Sui'an who were coming side by side.

Now he is also a third-rank official. When he returns from Huainan, he will be more favored by the emperor than Lu Yuan.

It is possible that his official position is higher than his.

As a son-in-law of the emperor, he was the first person in the Yong Dynasty to be able to obtain such an actual position.

Duke Lu announced the news to his family with a smile.

Only Uncle Lu couldn't stop smiling.

Lu Yuan and Shen Suian both knew how Lu Heng got this official position, they just responded indifferently.

Lu Heng looked at Shen Sui'an's reaction and sneered in his heart.

She used to say that she was not as good as Lu Yuan, but I wonder if she still thinks so now.

He is the top scholar in the imperial examination and has real talent and knowledge. As long as he is given the opportunity, he will definitely go further and higher.

Who is Lu Yuan!

The official position obtained by killing people is just a knife in the emperor's hand and can be abandoned at any time.

"Will the princess go to Huainan with you?" asked Mr. Lu.

"Yes." Lu Heng withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace.

He did not mention a word that the emperor gave Guangning the position of Salt Transport Commissioner in order to make him leave Shangjing.

Master Lu frowned, "The princess is so delicate after all, how can she be sent out with you? It would be better for her to stay in the princess's mansion..."

He was thinking that by then Lu Heng would be able to take two concubines in Huainan and he wouldn't have to serve the princess so carefully all the time.

Besides, the rumors are like that, who knows if the princess is still innocent.

"Father, you don't have to say anything. Wherever I am, the princess is there." Lu Heng said.

Ruan looked over with a smile, "The Prince Consort and the Princess really have a deep bond."

Lu Heng did not reply, but said to the Duke, "Grandfather, I still have to go to the Ministry of Rites to take over. Time is tight, and I should leave in two days."

"Go, go." The Duke nodded with a smile.

No matter what the reason for obtaining the official position, it is a real position.

This is a great thing for Lu Heng's future.
