Chapter 874 His White Moonlight 7
The selection of an empress in the Lanting Kingdom did not particularly concern her status.

Most monarchs throughout history were very sentimental people, and they did not have many concubines in their harems. Several empresses throughout history did not come from prominent families; one of them was even the daughter of an ordinary merchant.

The current emperor is an exception; he has three thousand concubines and is a womanizer.

However, Lou Yunsheng did not inherit this characteristic of his father, and instead resembled the previous monarchs quite a bit.

In the eyes of the servants, two women in the mansion were not many, and it was really hard to say whether Yuwen Xue or Zhong Ci would become empress in the future.

The people in the Prince's Mansion had always harbored such thoughts, so they never dared to neglect Zhong Ci. Their attitude towards Yuwen Xue was not bad, but they were not overly attentive either.

Lou Yunsheng knew perfectly well what was going on, but he never interfered.

Because he had previously thought he didn't like Yuwen Xue.

However, Yu Muhuai knew that after the cliff-jumping incident in his previous life, the Prince's mansion had become a tangled mess of three people.

The servants gradually split into two factions, one supporting Yuwen Xue more and the other supporting Zhong Ci more.

Lou Yunsheng was indecisive, and the two women were fighting back and forth, making the Prince's mansion a chaotic mess.

After much deliberation, Yu Muhuai concluded that among the few surviving princes, some were sickly and prone to coughing up blood, while others were idle and pleasure-seeking playboys.

Lou Yunsheng was the only one who was decent.

If it were any other prince, there would definitely be no chance of exonerating Zhong Haopeng.

Therefore, the idea of ​​bringing down Lou Yunsheng and supporting someone else had to be abandoned.

Let's put Lou Yunsheng in power first.

----

As evening fell, Lou Yunsheng returned to the Prince's residence.

The emperor went to him to inquire about what had happened that day, and he told him everything he could.

The emperor was furious and ordered Lou Yunsheng to thoroughly investigate the remnants of the former crown prince's faction and to eliminate all of them.

Lou Yunsheng understood that he had taken another step closer to the throne.

He outwardly pretended to be well-behaved, but inwardly he was very happy.

Upon returning home, he habitually wanted to inquire about Zhong Ci's situation and share the good news with her.

But at that moment, the image of another person popped into my mind.

The woman stood at the edge of the cliff, her face filled with despair. As she fell, her eyes were tightly closed, and it seemed as if a single tear had landed on her cheek.

The tears were so hot that they made him feel a little flustered.

This momentary panic left Lou Yunsheng somewhat at a loss.

His mind was confused.

He was distracted several times while his father was asking him questions.

"How is A-Ci?"

Qiancheng's subordinate received the message from the Prince's Mansion on the way and replied truthfully, "Miss Zhong is in good health and in a good mood."

"Hmm? In a good mood?" Lou Yunsheng turned his head to look over.

Qiancheng's expression also seemed a bit off. After thinking for a moment, he simply told everyone what had happened that afternoon.

"My lord, Miss Zhong went to see the princess this afternoon."

Lou Yunsheng's most trusted subordinates all knew that he didn't like others calling Yuwen Xue the Sixth Prince's Consort or Princess Consort, so they still addressed her as Princess in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Lou Yunsheng stopped in his tracks.

"What are you going to do with her?"

Qian Cheng shook his head: "I'm not sure. Miss Zhong came out not long after she left. After she came out, she instructed her subordinates to take good care of the princess, and then she said..."

Qian Cheng reported to Lou Yunsheng everything, big or small, that Yu Muhuai had instructed him to do after he came out.

Lou Yunsheng was usually very composed, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but show shock on his face. He frowned, utterly bewildered.

He and Zhong Ci were in love, and they both knew it.

Because of their identities and past experiences, as well as the shackles they each carried, they were all aware of the situation, but they always restrained themselves from crossing the line.

As the most special woman by Lou Yunsheng's side, Zhong Ci always kept her distance from Yuwen Xue in order to avoid suspicion.

The two had barely spoken before.

Why is she acting so strangely today?
Could it be that she was heartbroken because she jumped off the cliff to save Yuwen Xue, which led to her unusual behavior?
Lou Yunsheng was originally thinking about Yuwen Xue and wanted to go see her after returning to the manor, but he did not expect Yu Muhuai to do this, so he simply changed direction and headed towards Chenxiang Garden.

Chenxiang Garden was Zhong Ci's residence within the mansion.

When Lou Yunsheng arrived, Yu Muhuai was reading a book.

Back when Zhong Ci was still the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, she was a typical lady from a prominent family.

She was very knowledgeable, loved reading, and was extremely strategic.

Yu Muhuai knew that Lou Yunsheng would come, so he did what Zhong Ci usually did in advance.

Seeing the gentle-looking woman before him, Lou Yunsheng finally relaxed completely, the tension he had felt when facing his father.

He sat down next to Yu Muhuai and subconsciously wanted to stroke the other's hair.

To everyone's surprise, she nimbly dodged the attack and didn't let Lou Yunsheng touch her at all.

Lou Yunsheng frowned, as if he had thought of something, and sighed softly.

“Ah Ci, things aren’t what you think.”

Xiaoxue is, after all, a princess of a country. Now that she has married into the Lanting Kingdom, she can be considered a link between the two countries through marriage. I cannot let anything happen to her.

I know you're blaming me for risking my life to jump off the cliff to save her, but it was a last resort.

If you and Xiaoxue had jumped off the cliff at the same time, I would have chosen to save you.

Yu Muhuai glanced at Lou Yunsheng, thinking to himself: What you said is true.

Because the two had always had a very ambiguous and close relationship, Lou Yunsheng never used any honorifics when addressing Zhong Ci.

Lou Yunsheng didn't notice the strange look in her eyes and continued talking to himself.

“A-Ci, you know that in my heart, you are the most important person. I know that you also regard me as the most important person in your life (Yu Muhuai: .).

Don't be unhappy, and don't always look so gloomy. You know, every time I see you frown, my heart breaks.

Yu Muhuai: ? ? ?

If it weren't for the fact that he was still in the Prince's residence and currently in a dependent position, Yu Muhuai certainly wouldn't have allowed this Prince Duan to continue indulging in self-pity.

Recalling Zhong Ci's memories of her previous life, Lou Yunsheng was such a person.

They always like to wallow in self-pity and then do things in an attempt to move others.

Of course, the bystanders were Zhong Ci and Yuwen Xue.

The three of them acted like they were in an idol drama all day long, taking turns on stage.

One person roars with all their might, while another cries with tears welling up in their eyes.

These three people aren't tired, but the onlookers are.

Yu Muhuai sighed silently.

She really wanted to give this prince some dish soap to remove some of his greasiness.

After waiting patiently for Lou Yunsheng to finish speaking, Yu Muhuai put down his book and looked at him with a calm gaze.
