A hint of murderous intent flashed in Lu Shian's eyes.
If Li Hongting pushed her to the edge, she would fight to the death.
"Let's take one step at a time."
The rain stopped early the next morning, but it rained especially heavily that night.
Lu Shian planned to set off after having breakfast, but something went wrong with breakfast.
The food took no time to prepare and Lu'er couldn't help but frown.
"My lady, I'll go see what's going on."
Lu Shian nodded. She had just fed Chen'er with milk powder, and now the little guy was already crawling very skillfully.
She stood by the bed, afraid that Chen'er would fall accidentally.
Not long after, Lu'er came back.
"Miss."
Just from hearing this, Lu Shian knew something was wrong.
"what happened?"
"Luckily, Nanxing is here, otherwise we might all die here today."
When Lu Shian heard this, he stood up holding Chen'er and asked, "What's going on?"
"There was a problem with the meal this morning. Fortunately, Miss Nanxing is here. The guards who came with her are now lying in the dormitory."
Lu Shian hugged Chen'er tightly: "Is he so impatient to kill me?"
"Could it be someone else?"
Lu Shian shook his head: "No, I can't think of anyone else except him."
"So what is the Madam going to do?"
"Go back to the palace first, and we'll talk about it later."
Lu Shian glanced at his son in his arms and said, "Take Nanxing with you."
In the carriage, Nan Xing looked at his own face and couldn't help laughing: "Shi'an, you are so amazing, this is like a face transplant."
Lu Shian used makeup techniques to give Nanxing a different look.
"Once you enter the palace, you must remember to control your personality."
"I know, I know. Don't worry."
Lu Shian knew Nan Xing's personality too well, and she secretly made up her mind to keep an eye on her.
In the palace, Li Hongting frowned unhappily.
"It's useless. Such a good opportunity was wasted."
Yongchang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me."
Li Hongting narrowed his eyes and looked at Yongchang: "Do you think I am ruthless?"
"Your Majesty must have your reasons for doing this."
Li Hongting sighed: "Do you know the doggerel that is circulated among the people?"
Yongchang looked up at Li Hongting and quickly lowered his head: "I heard a little bit about it."
"Shi'an has the people in mind and keeps busy.
He set up workshops to serve the people and built canals to bring water to irrigate dry fields.
He has made countless contributions throughout his life, and the people will always remember his virtue and reputation. "
"The Virtuous Concubine has indeed made life better for the people." Yongchang's voice was a little low.
"It would be fine if she had no children, but she gave birth to the eldest prince. Given her current status, how can I allow the eldest prince to live?"
Li Hongting was indeed wary of Lu Shian, but he did not intend to take her life at first, as long as she gave birth to a daughter.
But she gave birth to a prince.
This was something Li Hongting could never accept, so he decided to get rid of the eldest prince.
But Lu Shian was too smart. She quickly realized that something was wrong. Although Chen'er was poisoned now, Li Hongting couldn't feel at ease as long as he was alive.
Ever since Chen'er was poisoned, Lu Shi'an's attitude towards him changed. The change was not superficial, but Li Hongting was so smart, how could he not notice it?
Thanks to Lu Shian, everything in Dayuan Kingdom is now on track, and it is time for her to retire.
"I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to make amends."
Li Hongting waved his hand: "You go down first."
Soon, Li Hongting was the only one left in the hall.
He pinched his brows. Lu Shian had indeed helped him a lot along the way, but in order to consolidate the Dayuan Kingdom and keep the power of the Dayuan Kingdom firmly in his own hands, he must not be soft-hearted.
After Lu Shian came back for a while, he stayed in Ganquan Palace.
He had been holding on to a glimmer of hope before, but when Nanxing said that there was something wrong with the food he ate, Lu Shian's heart completely died.
"You didn't harm my son, so you're targeting me?"
Nan Xing didn't know how to comfort her. After a long while, he managed to utter one sentence: "Fortunately, the dose of poison is not heavy. I can clear it up in less than ten days."
Lu Shian forced a smile: "Thank you."
"Hey, why are you being so polite to me?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen is about to give birth."
After hearing Que'er's words, Lu Shian immediately perked up. She stood up and walked out.
"Lu'er, you stay in Ganquan Palace to look after the little prince. I'll go take a look."
Nan Xing also wanted to go, but was stopped by Lu Shian: "The fewer people who see you, the better."
Nan Xing understood that Lu Shian was right, so she could only turn around and go back in disappointment.
Lu Shian thought for a moment and called her again: "Is there any life-saving medicine that can be used in production?"
Nan Xing nodded: "Of course there is."
In order to avoid being exposed, Nanxing’s medicinal herbs and everything else are now in Lu Shian’s space.
When she brought Que'er Xi'er and Nanny Lin to Fengyi Palace, there were already many people waiting there, including Li Hongting.
Seeing Lu Shian coming, Li Hongting stepped forward and held her hand.
"My beloved concubine."
Lu Shian saluted with a faint smile, then withdrew his hand.
Li Hongting noticed this tiny movement. Once people have a grudge, no matter how well they pretend, it will never disappear.
Just when everyone was silent, a baby's cry was suddenly heard.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. It's a little prince. It's a little prince."
"Haha, hahahaha, okay, okay, okay."
Everyone present knelt down and loudly congratulated the Emperor and the Empress, saying auspicious words one after another.
Li Hongting laughed out loud, and it seemed that he was really happy that Qin Jingzhi gave him a son.
It turns out that real expectations are different from pretending to expect. Lu Shian looked at Li Hongting and felt inexplicably sad for his son.
He didn't expect Chen'er to be born, nor did he expect him to live.
Her expression became colder and colder, and she had an urge to question him why he treated Chen'er like this, why he treated herself like this.
But she didn't, instead she turned around and left silently.
By the time Li Hongting discovered that Lu Shian was not there, Lu Shian had already left Fengyi Palace.
He stared at the palace gate and pondered for a moment, then turned around and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to send the best things in the palace here.
After Qin Jingzhi had packed up, Li Hongting immediately went in and held Qin Jingzhi in his arms.
"Thanks a lot."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It is my duty to expand the royal family."
"What does the Queen think should be her son's name?"
"Your Majesty, please give me a name."
"How about calling me Yuan?"
"Li Yuan. My son has a name now."
……
Lu Shian was not surprised that Li Hongting returned to Ganquan Palace in the evening.
"My dear, are you unhappy?"
Lu Shian smiled faintly: "Why would the emperor ask this? The queen gave birth to a prince, so I am naturally happy."
"That's good."
"Your Majesty, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."
"My dear, please tell me what you want to say."
Lu Shian took two steps back to distance himself from Li Hongting, then knelt down respectfully and said, "I beg the Emperor to appoint the Second Prince as the Crown Prince."
Li Hongting was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Lu Shian to make such a request.
