The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"I want to talk to you about serious matters." After Zhou Shiyue sat down, he looked at Lu Zhaoling seriously.

Moreover, he sat very steadily this time, with such a serious expression, he really had some of the domineering aura of the emperor's uncle.

Qingbao and the others couldn't help but stand up straight.

Qingyin brought the tea over and put it down very gently. She and Qingbao looked at each other, and both maids felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that the prince wanted to say something bad to the young lady? For example, their marriage was called off?

Still want to say something bad about the lady? Then what can they do?

The two maids were a little nervous.

Qing Xiao, Qing Feng, Qing Lin and the others looked at Lu Zhaoling. Every time the prince looked like this, they couldn't help but tense up and stand up straight.

But they found that Lu Zhaoling leaned back in his chair and seemed to be even more relaxed.

And there was a relaxation in her face that they had never felt before.

"You talk, I'm listening." Lu Zhaoling said lazily.

"Be serious."

"Okay. I'm serious, go ahead." Lu Zhaoling replied immediately. But her lazy attitude did not change at all.

Zhou Shiyue took a look at her expression, raised his eyebrows, and said something powerful.

"Tell me about your mother's wedding dress and her true identity."

Lu Zhaoling paused, then sat up straight.

Zhou Shiyue felt comfortable all of a sudden.

"Really? I guessed that your mother must be someone special. Just now when we were having dinner, I suddenly remembered an old piece of news. I wonder if you've heard of it."

"What old news?"

"Twenty years ago, King Nan Shao suddenly flew into a rage for some unknown reason and punished eight servants in the palace with a stick. He then led his troops to search the mountain for two months. When the news of this incident reached the capital, it aroused some speculation from my father."

The King of Nanshao stayed in his fiefdom of Nanshao Prefecture and swore that he would never enter the capital city in his lifetime.

However, he had been searching the mountains for two months in a row, and as his troops advanced forward in their search, the area bordering Nanshao inevitably became panic-stricken, wondering whether the troops of the King of Nanshao were about to leave Nanshao.

"At that time, King Nan Shao sent out as many as 30,000 soldiers to search the mountain."

Lu Zhaoling looked at him. "So what? What happened?"

"No results. Two months later, they withdrew their troops and no further news was heard. However, I suspect that they were most likely looking for someone at that time."

"Twenty years ago, you weren't even born yet..."

"You are wrong. I was almost a month old before this happened." Zhou Shiyue interrupted her.

Lu Zhaoling almost rolled his eyes.

Okay, okay, Your Highness the Prince of Jin, who is only over twenty days old, is amazing.

It sounds as if he, who is almost one month old, could be involved in something big.

"I later speculated that King Nan Shao was looking for someone at the time."

"You're not saying that the person King Nanshao is looking for is most likely my mother?" Lu Zhaoling suddenly reacted.

"Well, Lu Er, your little brain is really useful. You can keep up with my thinking."

"Wait, how did you come up with this idea? Is it a bit far-fetched?" Lu Zhaoling was shocked. Why would he think of the King of Nanshao just because of a wedding dress that might have come from Nanshao?

"Where did you put the wedding dress? Come on, take me there to see it. In front of the wedding dress, I can explain it to you more clearly."

So, Lu Zhaoling took Zhou Shiyue to the east wing.

When she saw the boxes placed there and the hanging wedding dress, she suddenly realized that she had originally wanted to wait until everyone was gone before looking at these things herself.

How could he come here again?

Everything is related to him. If we ever have to part ways in the future, it will be hard to separate!

But now His Royal Highness Prince Jin was already standing in front of the wedding dress, observing it for a while, then hooked his finger at her, "Lu Er, come here and look here."

Lu Zhaoling's feet reacted faster than his brain, and he walked over as soon as he was hooked.

She looked down at where his finger was pointing.

The front of the wedding dress was turned up, revealing a small ice lotus sewn on the inside.

It is embroidered with silver thread, so exquisitely that even the veins of the petals are revealed.

"What does this lotus represent?" she asked.

"The Nanshao Palace employs the most famous embroiderer in the entire Nanshao. Her surname is Lian, and everyone calls her Madam Lian."

Zhou Shiyue said to her, "The most exquisite embroidery in Nanshao comes from her hands. The clothes she sews will leave ice lotus leaves, which is her symbol. This wedding dress is so beautifully embroidered and has the mark of Lady Lian, which means that the owner who wears it is very likely from the Nanshao Palace."

Lu Zhaoling was stunned for a moment.

"Even if she is not from the Nanshao Palace, the one who can have Madam Lian personally sew her wedding dress must be of extraordinary status. Now we can be sure that Madam Lian knows her. Is it very likely that the people in the Nanshao Palace also know her?"

"If the other party had successfully married, the wedding dress would not have been found in Da Zhou. If it was not the wedding day, the other party would not have come out wearing the wedding dress, and the wedding dress would have been well left in Nan Shao."

"The blood on the sleeves is from my mother. She can't be Lady Lian, right? Isn't it said that women embroider their own wedding dresses?"

Lu Zhaoling thought that this wedding dress was sewn by her own mother.

Her breath was on it.

"There is another possibility, your mother is Lady Lian." Zhou Shiyue said. "Since the King of Nan Shao sent people to search the mountain, there has been no news of Lady Lian. This king speculates that Lady Lian ran away at that time, and the King of Nan Shao went to arrest her."

"My mother's last name is not Lian."

"What's her last name?" Zhou Shiyue asked naturally.

"Cui."

Her mother's name is Cui Liyue.

"Oh, Lu Er!" Zhou Shiyue suddenly patted her shoulder and looked at her with a click of the tongue.

Lu Zhaoling's body tilted when he slapped her.

"crazy?"

"Do you know the surname of Princess Nan Shao?"

Lu Zhaoling immediately had a bad feeling, "Is his last name Cui?"

"Congratulations, you got it."

Lu Zhaoling: “…”

"Now that Madam Lian has been ruled out, your mother is more likely to be someone from the Nanshao Palace, the princess? The princess' niece?"

"Lu Er, you might be from a very important background."

How could she be an ordinary citizen when she has the same surname as Princess Nanshao and wears a wedding dress embroidered by a first-class embroiderer employed by the Nanshao Palace?

"What is the name of Princess Nanshao?" Lu Zhaoling's expression calmed down.

“I was only twenty-something days old back then. Who would care about the maiden name of the distant Princess of Nanshao?” Zhou Shiyue shook his head.

Then why are you paying attention to the fact that King Nanshao has been searching the mountain for two months!

Lu Zhaoling felt a little itchy.

"Do you want me to check it for you?" Zhou Shiyue came closer to her.

Lu Zhaoling chuckled, "What are the conditions?"
