i want to marry a princess

After the sacrifice was over, Guo Chan came back in a hurry with a dignified expression.

Guo Chan leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Someone assassinated Empress Zhang. Fortunately, Huo Rufeng has been secretly protecting him, which prevented the thief from succeeding, and this time he also caught one of the assassins."

After saying that, Guo Chan looked a little hesitant, Lu Jinyan knew what she was thinking, smiled and said: "You go first, I will go back to the house by myself, and I just happened to go shopping in the street."

Guo Chan nodded and said, "Remember to let Dongqing go with you."

Lu Jinyan obediently agreed and watched Guo Chan leave.

After Sima Yi and Zhao Laiyi left, Lu Jinyan followed Baiguan to leave Luguo Temple.

After walking a few steps, Lu Jinyan felt that there was someone more beside him, and when he turned his head, it was Sima He.

Thinking of Empress Zhang, Lu Jinyan couldn't help but look at him a few more times. There was nothing unusual about this person's complexion. Did he really not know or pretended not to know?

"I've seen the prince." Lu Jinyan said lightly.

Sima He was wearing an octopython robe today, he was imposing, except for his slightly frivolous eyes.

"It's a rare day today. I wonder if Marquis Cheng En can honor me and go to the restaurant for dinner with me?"

Lu Jinyan paused slightly, distanced himself from Sima He, and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, I have other things to do today."

Sima He smiled, "Is that so..."

Suddenly Sima He approached her and said in a low voice: "You are so cautious but you are afraid that your identity will be discovered by this king? Huh? Princess Qinghe."

Lu Jinyan had expected that Sima He had guessed her identity, so she still had a calm expression on her face. She smiled softly, with a coquettish and suave look, "Your Highness is just joking. I'm not Princess Qinghe, besides, I'm a man, and she As a woman, how can you be confused?"

Sima He raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

Lu Jinyan said seriously: "Naturally, besides, I'm not good at Longyang, so it's not like there is no distinction between men and women."

After speaking, Lu Jinyan ignored Sima He's reaction and left quickly.

Dongqing was waiting at the gate of Luguo Temple, and Lu Jinyan saw her as soon as he went out.

Just as she was about to get into the carriage, someone behind her called her, it was still a very familiar voice.

"Master Hou."

Lu Jinyan turned around, and it was indeed Ren Rong, her father.

"It turned out to be Master Ren, who has been admiring him for a long time."

The corner of Ren Rong's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile, "Master Hou has won the prize, I wonder if Master Hou is interested in having a cup of tea together?"

Ren Rong had checked since he knew there was such a person as Cheng Enhou, but unfortunately he didn't find out anything famous.It wasn't until the day Cheng Enhou married Danyang Princess that he suddenly realized that what Cheng Enhou was, was just his second girl in disguise.

He guessed that Lu Jinyan's existence was to block Guo Chan's marriage, but he didn't know that the two were actually doing a fake show.

Based on Lu Jinyan's understanding of him, he almost guessed what he was going to say, so he said without hesitation: "Sorry, Mr. Ren, there are still many things in the mansion, and I really don't have time to spare."

Ren Rong looked at Lu Jinyan in disbelief. For some reason, Lu Jinyan was very happy seeing this scene.

"Farewell."

Lu Jinyan got into the carriage without looking back.

All the way to the streets and alleys of the capital, Lu Jinyan still raised the corners of his mouth. In the half of his life in the Ren family, he was not as happy as he is now in just a few months.

Dongqing saw her good mood, thought of the princess's order, and asked: "Junma, should we go back to the house directly?"

Lu Jinyan thought for a while and said, "Dongqing, go to Yuanlin's shop and cut some suitable new clothes for your mother."

Dongqing smiled and said: "Your Highness will give birth in February, and you have already ordered people to make a lot of county horses. I'm afraid His Highness won't be able to wear one set every day."

Lu Jinyan was stunned, "That's true, then let's go make some new clothes for the little brother, and wear them after he is born."

Ren Yuanlin's shop is now well-known in the capital, and the business is booming, and Lu Jinyan has also taken advantage of it.

The carriage walked slowly on the bustling street, with the continuous sound of hawking in his ears, Lu Jinyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

Just passing by a teahouse, Lu Jinyan saw a familiar figure.

Turkic prince, Selu.

Those who were supposed to return to Turkic after the Qianqiu Banquet still stayed in Beijing, and they were still very leisurely.

As far as Lu Jinyan knew, the competition for the Turkic throne was very fierce. Although Sai Lu was favored as the eldest prince, he was not in the Turkic territory for a long time, so he was not afraid of accidents?

Lu Jinyan turned sideways and lifted the curtain on the other side, and it happened that there was a teahouse opposite the one that Sailu entered just now.

"Holly, take the carriage to the back of the auspicious tea house opposite."

Dongqing was puzzled, just when she was about to put things away, why did she suddenly want to drink tea again?

After entering the teahouse, Lu Jinyan ordered two plates of dim sum and a pot of Biluochun, and asked for a seat on the third floor by the window, so that he could see the situation outside clearly.

Facing Dongqing's doubts, Lu Jinyan explained: "I just saw Sai Lu enter the restaurant opposite."

"Does the county horse doubt him?"

Lu Jinyan frowned, and said, "I'm not sure, but I always feel that something is wrong. Let's take a look, you know a lot of people, so pay more attention."

"Yes, county horse."

After an hour, Sailu still didn't leave the teahouse, but the two of them didn't see anyone they knew go in either.

Could it be that I was thinking wrong?

At this time, Dongqing suddenly said: "Junma, Sailu is out."

Lu Jinyan looked out the window, it was indeed Sai Lu, still alone.

Lu Jinyan said rather disappointed: "Let's go too, it seems that I am overthinking."

Dongqing has been staring at the movement below, and indeed she does not see anyone suspicious.

The two were about to leave the teahouse, when Lu Jinyan thought that they came in through the back door, he said unwillingly, "Dongqing, go and inquire about the waiter of that restaurant, and ask if Sai Lu was alone just now."

Dongqing responded, "The county horse is here later, and the servants will come as soon as they go."

Lu Jinyan originally thought that Dongqing would come back soon, after all, Sai Lu's appearance and clothes were unusual, and the waiter in the shop should have a deep impression of him, but Dongqing didn't want to return for a long time.

Just when Lu Jinyan was worried that something might happen to Dongqing and was about to go back home to seek help, Dongqing finally returned.

When Lu Jinyan saw that her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and then saw that she was intact, her heart was hanging, otherwise she would find it hard to forgive herself.

After she recovered, she asked Dongqing what happened.

Dongqing took a breath, and said: "Back to the princess, the slave girl originally asked the waiter according to your order, and Sai Lu did not have an appointment, but he didn't want the waiter to say that the adult who was in the same wing room with Sai Lu just left in a carriage from the back door and asked The characteristics of getting into the carriage, the servants did not have time to report to you, so they followed up on their own initiative."

Hearing this, Lu Jinyan said, "Fortunately, you didn't encounter any accident."

Dongqing was taken aback, feeling a little heartwarming.

Only then did Lu Jinyan ask: "Then do you know who is with Seru?"

Dongqing paused, and said a name that Lu Jinyan couldn't believe.

"How could it be him?!"

Dongqing was as shocked as Lu Jinyan at first, "The servant followed the carriage and stopped outside Zhao Shangshu's mansion. The person who saw it was indeed Zhao Shangshu!"

Lu Jinyan did not believe that a first-rank official would not know the consequences of having a relationship with an enemy prince in private.

All this is completely different from the previous speculation. Zhao Shangshu is Zhao Laiyi's biological father. If Zhao Shangshu colluded with the Turks, what about Zhao Laiyi?

Lu Jinyan realized a difficult problem. If Zhao Laiyi was the hand hidden in the harem, then the plan of the Hall of Mental Cultivation would not be so simple that day!

There must be a conspiracy behind this that they don't know about!

Lu Jinyan felt the chill coming from her back, she forced herself to calm down quickly, Guo Chan was still investigating the matter of Empress Zhang in the palace, and is today's incident related to Seru again?

"Holly, immediately investigate all information about Zhao Shangshu's residence!"

Zhao Shangshu, named Zhao Zhong, is a veteran minister for many years, if he treacherous, there must be a reason.

The matter was so important that Dongqing used almost all of Guo Chan's power to bring the information to Lu Jinyan an hour later.

Lu Jinyan read it quickly, shocked but didn't dare to bother the eldest princess, so he went to Xuan Pinghou.

Xuan Pinghou couldn't believe it when he heard it, "You mean you suspect that Zhao Zhong is secretly colluding with the Turks?!"

Lu Jinyan told about what happened in the teahouse today, and took out what Dongqing had investigated.

Lu Jinyan said slowly: "Zhao Zhong rescued an injured woman many years ago, and then took her as a concubine. He doted on her very much. I didn't expect that concubine to be a Turkic person. After giving birth to a baby girl, she disappeared. , Zhao Zhong claimed to the public that he died of illness, and the baby girl left behind was changed by Zhao Zhong's official wife and became the daughter of the first line."

Xuan Ping Hou said: "Why did no one know about this before?"

Lu Jinyan sighed: "I think it's because a concubine would not be noticed by many people, and many years ago, Zhao Zhong was not as high and powerful as he is now, and no one would pay attention to the movements in his house."

Suddenly, Xuan Pinghou thought of something, "Then that baby girl can't be Zhao Zhaoyi today?"

Lu Jinyan nodded, Xuan Pinghou felt dizzy for a while, if nothing else happened, Zhao Zhaoyi would undoubtedly be the next empress.

"Sincerely, are you sure? Treason is a death penalty!"

Lu Jinyan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "I will discuss with Ah-chan again when he returns home. There is one more thing you don't know. Something happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation before."

Because he was afraid that the princess would be angry, Guo Chan didn't tell them about it.

Next, Lu Jinyan told the whole story about the Palace of Mental Cultivation. After Xuan Pinghou found out, he was furious. He could do whatever he wanted, but he must not touch his family!

Xuan Pinghou said angrily: "How unreasonable! They think I'm dead!"

Lu Jinyan understood his anger at this time very well, and she said softly: "I thought Zhao Laiyi was trying to separate me and Ah Chan, but if Zhao Laiyi is a Turkic spy, then my guess may be wrong!"

Hearing this, Xuan Pinghou felt a little dizzy, "Wait...you said she wanted to separate you, why is that?"

Lu Jinyan choked with embarrassment, but Xuan Pinghou looked eager for knowledge, so she could only say: "I think Zhao Laiyi seems to like Ah Chan..."

Xuan Pinghou really felt dizzy at this moment, he sighed, "What's the matter!"

Talking about this junior's love affair with the elders, Lu Jinyan also felt a little uncomfortable, she looked up and down, left and right, trying to hide her nervousness.

After a while, Xuan Ping Hou spoke again.

"If the Zhao family really treacherously colluded with the Turkic people, both the emperor and the queen mother in the palace are very dangerous. But everything is our guess, and we are not convincing even if we go to court." Xuan Pinghou said and watched Lu Jinyan took a look and sighed: "You children have really grown up. If you can get the key evidence from the assassins caught today, then everything will be easy."

Lu Jinyan's eyes lit up, "I'm entering the palace now!"

"Enter the palace?"

A voice sounded behind them, the two were taken aback, and at the same time they had a bad feeling.
