Chapter 253: Things of the Twelve Guards

Chapter 253: Things of the Twelve Guards

The servant returned to the Lu family in disgrace to report back to Lu Xingzhou.

Manager Zhao is also there.

This man was his nephew, who was quite clever on weekdays, so he deliberately entrusted him with such an important errand.

"So fast?"

Manager Zhao was surprised.

You Ping was so distressed that he said: "I didn't even enter the princess's mansion. The servants in the princess's mansion were very domineering. They told me that I was from the Lu family and immediately kicked me out, saying that our Lu family was not qualified to give gifts to the princess."

Manager Zhao looked at Lu Xingzhou awkwardly.

At least the old man of the Lu family had the merit of serving the dragon. During the funeral, the Supreme Emperor personally came to express his condolences and offered incense as a junior.

Princess Wanping's move was too disrespectful to the Lu family.

Lu Xingzhou's expression didn't change much, and he was still unpredictable: "Did you mention the old lady?"

You Ping said aggrievedly: "I mentioned it, that boy said that the old lady no longer belongs to the Lu family, so let me get out of here!"

"This..." Manager Zhao choked and said to Lu Xingzhou, "Uncle, listen to what they said?"

Lu Xingzhou didn't care whether Princess Wanping looked down on the Lu family. He just wanted to know whether Lin Wan'er's master and servant ran into Princess Wanping after they escaped last night.

Princess Wanping has a high reputation among the people. She helps the strong and the weak, and helps the people. When encountering injustice, she will probably not stand by and watch.

Naturally, those good deeds may be done for the common people to see, and those in power are best at this.

Manager Zhao winked at You Ping, and You Ping wisely withdrew.

Manager Zhao said: "Sir, from what I've seen, Lin Wan'er and Lu Luo probably escaped on their own and didn't meet Princess Wanping. Otherwise, there would be no movement until now."

The fact that Lin Wan'er was able to run out of the Lu family meant that she found out that Lu Xingzhou wanted to kill her.

But even if she said these words, would anyone really believe them?

She is an outsider who relies on her belly to get to the top, and her reputation in the capital has long been bad.

And Princess Wanping was a direct descendant of the middle palace, and she hated this kind of shady woman the most. How could she be kind enough to take in Lin Wan'er?

Seeing that Lu Xingzhou was silent, Manager Zhao said sarcastically: "Sir, if you are really worried, why don't you go to the princess mansion yourself?"

"No need."

I'm afraid that what the Lu family did in the past has offended her, and she won't be able to see him even if he goes.

Since Princess Wanping doesn't want to see the Lu family so much, she should not care about the Lu family's back house.

Lin Wan'er might have really just run away on her own.

"You continue to send people to secretly search for the whereabouts of the two of them. It shouldn't be that difficult to find a woman who is about to give birth."

Unless...she leaves the capital.

I am not afraid that she will die outside, but I am afraid that she will talk nonsense outside.

"Yes, sir!"

Manager Zhao rushed to make arrangements.

Lu Xingzhou went to Mother Lu's yard.

Mother Lu was sitting in her room pruning flowers.

She loves arranging flowers in her spare time, and it has never changed for many years.

Mother Lu didn't seem to hear Lu Xingzhou's footsteps and was minding her own business.

Lu Xingzhou said, "Go to the Governor's Mansion and bring grandma back."

Mother Lu cut off a leaf and said calmly: "It's not like I didn't pick it up. Grandma doesn't want to go back to the Lu family. If you are serious about it, why don't you pick it up yourself."

Lu Xingzhou gave Mother Lu a deep look: "Did you help Lin Wan'er escape last night?"

What a coincidence, there are ladders in both walls.

Mother Lu continued to prune the flower branches: "I don't understand what the uncle is talking about."

It was already afternoon when Meng Qianqian woke up. The curtains were closed in the room, and the light was dim. Occasionally, one or two bright rays of light slipped in through the gaps.

Baoshu was giggling in the yard, Liu Qingyun was catching her, and she was hiding very well.

Lu Yuan is not here.

Hey, doesn’t he need to catch up on his sleep?

Meng Qianqian stretched lazily and said, "Panaris pinellia."

Aunt Li pushed the door open and walked in: "Miss, are you awake? Banxia is watering the peonies newly planted by Madam outside."

Meng Qianqian rubbed her eyes: "Mommy, what time is it?" "It's almost time."

"How did I get back to the yard after I slept for so long?"

She remembered that she was talking to Lu Yuan about the Twelve Guards in the carriage, and she had no memory of when she fell asleep.

Grandma Li cleared her throat: "The young lady was sleeping deeply. It was my uncle who carried the young lady back to the yard. It was really hard for my uncle."

Meng Qianqian: Aunt Li, your rebellion is quite complete. Did my mother-in-law give you too much?

Nanny Li handed the clothes she had prepared to Meng Qianqian: "Miss, what happened at the Princess Mansion last night? Why did you stay all night? You also woke up the lady. What medicine do you want to get?"

Liu Qingyun hated people disturbing her sleep the most, but after being woken up last night, Liu Qingyun was not angry and asked Yu Zichuan to deliver the medicine in person.

The calmer the lady is, the bigger the problem will be.

Meng Qianqian told the story about Lin Wan'er, so naturally, the part about the Twelve Guards was omitted.

Grandma Li was extremely shocked.

She didn't expect that Lin Wan'er was pretending, and she didn't expect that Lu Xingzhou would want Lin Wan'er's life.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its children. No matter what, Lin Wan'er still carries the flesh and blood of his son.

Grandma Li was simply creepy.

As for the fake Lin Wan'er, although Nanny Li has been waiting for her retribution, she doesn't expect her to die.

"Poor that kid."

Aunt Li sighed.

Nothing more was said after that.

Everyone has their own destiny. There are too many injustices in the world. I just hope that the child will not bear the sins of the previous generation.

Meng Qianqian looked around and asked, "Where is your husband?"

Nanny Li poured hot water and said, "Your Majesty is here today. My uncle just sent His Majesty away and is in the study at the moment."

Meng Qianqian washed her face and asked, "What are you doing here, Your Majesty?"

Grandma Li said: "It seems that I am playing leaf cards with the old lady and King Miao, and my wife is also there."

Meng Qianqian's mouth twitched, did the three crooks really not trick Zong Zhengxi into wearing his pants?

"Eat some snacks to fill your stomach first, and I'll go ask the kitchen to cook two dishes."

"Um."

Meng Qianqian went to the study carrying half a plate of osmanthus cake and half a plate of fried fruits.

Lu Yuan was tinkering with a strange little box.

Meng Qianqian put the plate on the table: "Grand Governor, what is this?"

Lu Yuan said: "The things Yu Zichuan dug back from the Lu family."

"Is this what Hai Zhu asked Lin Wan'er to wait for?" Meng Qianqian blinked, "Have you opened it?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "After all, it is a thing of the Twelve Guards, so it is better to wait for you to open it."

"Then I'm welcome."

Meng Qianqian put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she took a bite of and reached out to open the box.

"I'll do it." Lu Yuan suddenly blocked her hand, "Just stand far away and watch from there."

Meng Qianqian said oh and stepped aside obediently.

The box is locked, not an ordinary copper lock, but a poetry lock, which can be unlocked by turning the words on the copper hoop.

There are four copper rings in total, each with six... patterns?

Meng Qianqian opened her eyes wide: "What are these? Why don't I recognize them?"

"It's Sanskrit."

While Lu Yuan was speaking, he had already unlocked the lock.

"Do you still know Sanskrit?" Meng Qianqian admired Lu Yuan even more.

She walked over and took a closer look, "Hey, the box is empty!"

Happy National Day
