Chapter 197 Propaganda
Seeing the emperor's expression, Lu Hanting knew that this matter must have angered the emperor.
He originally wanted to plead for the Rong family.
However, on his way back to the capital, he heard that the Baoji Ginseng Pills that Rong Sheng presented to the emperor were poisonous.
They even poisoned Consort Kang and Lady Rong of the Chen State Duke's Mansion to death.
Only then did he give up his desire to plead for mercy.
Moreover, when he first entered the palace, his people told him that Rong had already been dealt with by his father for having an affair.
Therefore, he no longer needed to plead for the Rong family.
After all, their Dingguo Marquis's Mansion is now essentially unrelated to the Rong family.
Speaking of Baoji Ginseng Pills, Lu Hanting thought of the one he had sent back to Beijing for Wei'er.
I wonder what she used it for?
However, he made it clear in his letter that this medicine was a life-saving pill.
It should not be taken lightly unless absolutely necessary.
She probably didn't take it.
After a moment.
Then the emperor said loudly, "Eunuch Wei, convey my decree..."
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Capital Prefecture that Rong Sheng has been kidnapped..."
The young eunuch rushed in, flustered.
"what?"
Lu Hanting was equally surprised.
Has someone rescued Rong Sheng?
Upon hearing this news, Emperor Mingcheng was seen to stagger.
Lu Hanting quickly got up to help him.
"Emperor calm down!"
"It's just like that," said Eunuch Wei, who was standing nearby, offering words of comfort.
"When did this happen?"
"An hour ago."
The young eunuch said tremblingly.
"Where are they? Have they left the city yet?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that someone outside is there to meet them, and they have already escaped the capital..."
"Useless, all of them are useless..."
Upon seeing this, Lu Hanting's eyebrows flickered.
They escaped the capital in such a short time; there must be someone in the capital who acted as an inside agent.
By the time Lu Hanting returned to the Marquis's residence, it was already 9 PM.
Because it was so late, apart from the gatekeeper who knew that the prince had returned to his residence, no one else knew that he had returned to the capital.
Qiu Xinyuan.
"Young lady, I heard that the old lady's birthday celebration this year is not just a simple birthday banquet."
Its true purpose was to select a crown prince's wife for the crown prince..."
Upon hearing Dingxiang's words, He Yuyan's lips pursed slightly.
"The young master looks down on them."
As for why she was so certain.
This was evident from the fate of those maids who had seduced the prince and were beaten to death.
"But I heard that the old lady really likes Liu Qingyun."
If it were the Dowager's order, the Crown Prince might agree.
"Hehe, don't worry, that person in Biyunting won't allow it..."
Others might think Wu Weiwei lacked ambition, but He Yuyan had already seen through it.
She probably wants to become the Crown Prince's wife.
Wu Weiwei has been preparing for the opening of Yudie Beauty Salon these past two days.
She'll be opening her business as soon as the old lady's birthday celebration is over.
However, there are some things that need to be settled before the opening.
Just as they were about to rest, the gatekeeper, Songzi, sent someone in with a message.
"Auntie, the young master has returned to the manor."
"Oh."
Come back if you want!
Anyway, the first thing he'll do when he gets back is definitely not to look for her.
Wanqiu, turn off the lights and rest!
Seeing Wu Weiwei's indifferent reaction.
Wanqiu roughly understood the prince's position in her aunt's heart.
In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of wind chimes in the hallway outside.
Wu Weiwei, who was half asleep, opened her eyes and saw a tall man standing in front of her bed.
“Wei’er…”
The man's voice was hoarse, and there was an indescribable emotion in it.
Wu Weiwei knew from the sound that Gou Shizi was here to bother her.
"Your Highness, you're back?"
Wu Weiwei rubbed her eyes and mumbled something.
"Wei'er, have you missed me?"
Lu Hanting took off his outer shirt, crawled into the quilt, and hugged her.
Holding the man tightly, Wu Weiwei felt a deep sorrow in her heart.
"Your Highness, of course Wei'er missed you, but why did you come back so suddenly?"
"If Sister He knew that you came straight to my place as soon as you returned, wouldn't she be sad?"
Wu Weiwei only wanted to scare him away with He Yuyan.
But the man behind her didn't seem to care.
"Both you and Yan'er are my concubines. You will both feel uncomfortable if you go to either of your courtyards."
But what you said reminded me.
To make up for it, I will go and keep her company tomorrow…
Grass mud horse.
Is that what I mean?
I just don't want to be favored by you!
"Ha ha……"
Wu Weiwei could only manage an awkward laugh.
As the man's hands groped around under the covers, Wu Weiwei's smile quickly faded.
A short while later, the bed began to make a series of noises.
Hearing the sounds, Wanqiu, who was keeping watch outside, could only silently pray for her master.
Early the next morning.
The people in the Marquis's residence then got busy.
Today is the old lady's birthday, as instructed by the Lady of the Marquis.
If anyone makes a mistake at the birthday banquet, their monthly reward will be deducted.
As a result, the servants worked very hard.
When Wu Weiwei got up, the Crown Prince had already left Biyunting.
"Wanqiu, please help me put this hairpin on!"
After Wanqiu helped Wu Weiwei comb her hair, Wu Weiwei took out a unique hairpin from a black box.
"Auntie, this hairpin is so exquisite. When did you buy it? How come I didn't know?"
Wu Weiwei smiled.
"The young master placed it on my bedside table when he left this morning. I think he must have bought it in Jiangnan!"
Wanqiu said happily, "Auntie, it seems that the young master still loves you the most."
"Oh, how come you see it?"
"You see, the first thing the Crown Prince did after returning from his business trip was to come and see you."
If he didn't care, why would he come to Biyun Court?
He could have gone to Qiu Xinyuan to find his cousin!
After all, it was rumored that the prince's favorite was Consort He, and that their concubine was just a substitute for their cousin.
But now that Miss Biao has been back for so long, the prince should have already consummated their marriage.
But the truth is, no.
The first thing the young master did upon returning was to look for his concubine, which shows that she holds a place in his heart.
Listening to Wanqiu's analysis.
Wu Weiwei thought to herself, "Heh."
Men are driven by basic human needs, such as food and sex.
Lu Hanting is a germaphobe.
Just by the fact that he punished so many maids who seduced him, you can tell he's not a man who settles for less.
The female protagonist marries Jiang Yang and loses her virginity.
Although the prince had feelings for her, he couldn't let her go.
But he could never bear the thought of her being touched by another man.
In her opinion, Lu Hanting's feelings for the female lead are only because he can't get her emotionally!
As for his body, given her occasional hints, he probably won't touch the female lead again.
Unless I die.
"Wanqiu, bring me the latest pill that Granny Mei developed."
Wanqiu handed the box that Granny Mei had brought yesterday to Wu Weiwei.
"Auntie, are you planning to give this precious pill to the Old Madam as a birthday gift?"
Wu Weiwei smiled.
"Yes, our Jade Butterfly Health Resort is about to open."
With so many distinguished ladies here today, it would be perfect to use this for advertising!
