To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Jiusu put away his smile and said seriously, "Originally, Ajing and I suspected that Prince Shou had some purpose in suddenly bringing his troops back to the capital. Ajing said that Prince Shou almost became the emperor. Do you think he could tolerate the death of the previous emperor and the smooth ascension of the new emperor? What's more, he is in good health and has two grown sons."

She asked Zitan to get four boxes of ice cream for them to share.

"Yesterday, Xu Lin came to the Jiang residence to show his affection and pursue me. He also lured Ah Jing to a brothel, hoping to use his beauty to drive a wedge between us."

Bai Luoxue snorted coldly: "You still want to seduce the Prime Minister, you can be fooled, but he can't."

Jiu Su: "?"

Step on one and hold one!

This was indeed what Bai Luoxue had tried personally. She straightened her sleeves. She was also considered a lady from Shengjing. Even the Prime Minister didn't like her, so how could those two wild women seduce her?

Bai Luoxue frowned, "Then how can I refuse him?"

Jiusu thought for a moment: "Seal your heart and lock away your love? Can't forget your old love? Just say you don't like it?"

Among these methods, the second one is more reliable.

What if I say "lock up my heart and lock up my love" and cut off my peach blossom luck? If I say I don't like you directly, it may hurt the relationship.

After leaving Jiang Mansion, Bai Luoxue wandered aimlessly. She murmured, "Old love..."

I found out that it was Chen Zhao's house, and she was standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Listening to the laughter inside, I peeked through the crack in the door and saw a family of three chatting happily. Zheng Rouer's belly was slightly bulging, Lu was picking vegetables, and Chen Zhao was chopping wood.

One day, she will feel that such a simple life will be happy.

A tear fell down her face.

She raised her hand to wipe it away.

Just about to turn around and leave.

Zheng Rouer's voice trembled slightly as she shouted in surprise, "Miss Bai?"

Bai Luoxue's body stiffened. She took a deep breath, turned around, forced a smile, and raised the things in her hand: "I'm here... to give you a thank you gift."

"You, please come in."

Zheng Rouer opened the door and made way. She leaned against the door blankly, looking at the beautiful and graceful Bai Luoxue, her hands on her stomach, her eyes unable to help but feel sore.

They were already talking inside, so she came to her senses, closed the door, and shamelessly walked over.

Mrs. Lu handed over a cup of tea: "How have you been these days?"

The old man's tolerance made Bai Luoxue feel ashamed.

She said awkwardly, "It's fine."

Chen Zhao sat aside, picking at his nails. He had complicated feelings towards Bai Luoxue. He looked at the gifts and said, "You don't have to be polite. I will save anyone."

"Yeah." Bai Luoxue put the purse on the table, "Don't bother me anymore, I should go back."

Mrs. Lu patted her son's arm and gestured, "See Miss Bai off."

She heard Zhou Rouer secretly following her, smiled helplessly, and returned to the house with her crutches. Young people's affairs should be resolved by themselves.

They looked at each other in silence all the way until they were escorted to the carriage.

Chen Zhaowen: "I heard that you are going to marry the eldest son of Prince Shou."

Bai Luoxue was stunned: "Who said that?"

Chen Zhaodao said, "I don't know who said it, but everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about it. What's going on?"

"It's okay." Bai Luoxue looked at the wound on his abdomen, chuckled, and got on the carriage. Seeing the curtain lowered, her face darkened. It was time to go back and deal with these things.

If you have no intention of marrying me, why bother?

Bai Luoxue is not a fool anymore.

But she didn't expect that Xu Tianyan stood at the door and waited for her for a whole day. As night fell, the sad expression on the man's face finally turned into a smile when he saw the carriage stopped.

"Miss Bai." He called out with a smile.

Bai Luoxue said calmly, "I have met the prince. My father should be at the mansion. It is getting late, so I will go back home first."

Xu Tianyan frowned. The woman didn't look any different, but she clearly felt colder. He said politely, "Miss Bai, I'm here to see you, not Uncle Bai."

Bai Luoxue lifted her skirt and walked towards the mansion.

"Prince, what's the matter?"

Xu Tianyan invited, "I heard that the lotus flowers in Shengjing are in full bloom. I wonder if I could invite the beautiful Miss Bai to enjoy them?"

Bai Luoxue wasn't interested: "I'm a little afraid of the heat, so I won't accompany the prince."

She stopped talking and walked quickly towards the mansion.

The door was closed, and the prince, who had always been respected, was turned away in Shengjing.

Xu Tianyan sent people to investigate but found nothing.

He had no choice but to return home and drink alone with a heavy heart. He was under a lot of pressure when he returned to Beijing this time. According to his father's words, if he failed, he would die.

"Serve the wine!"

The drink was placed in front of him.

Lingxian took his hand, her eyes full of love and distress: "Prince, what's wrong? Did Miss Bai ignore you?"

Xu Tianyan held her hand and held her in his arms.

"You're quite clever." He looked at the red mark on Lingxian's neck, his eyes instantly darkening. "Did you succeed in seducing Jiang Che?"

Lingxian chuckled: "Prince, I am a gentleman, a rare good man in the world, and I only want my wife."

Xu Tianyan asked again: "Did you sleep with Linxia?"

Lingxian asked back: "Do you care?"

"Get out!" He was furious and pushed the woman to the ground.

Lingxian laughed at herself, covered her face, crawled up from the ground, picked up her fallen clothes, and walked out in a daze.

Lingzhi held her hand and said, "The prince doesn't like you? Then I will go in and serve you?"

"Sister, don't..." Lingxian lowered her head and shed tears.

Lingzhi reached out and wiped her clean. Her heart ached, but the corners of her mouth curled up, and she said meaningfully: "Silly sister, do you still want the prince to favor you alone? No, even if he really loves you, he won't."

Why not?

She thought to herself that the ambiguous sounds in the room behind her were unacceptable to her, so she covered her ears and ran away.

The wind in Shengjing is too cold, not as warm as that in Yanzhou.

The next day, Lingzhi opened the door and looked at her sister, whose eyes were red from not sleeping all night. She rolled her eyes unhappily and said, "Is it necessary to cry like this?"

"I don't want to see you..." Lingxian choked and buried her head in her knees.

Lingzhi threw a piece of paper at her, but her sister rolled it into a ball and threw it on the ground. She shook her head and said, "The master sent you back to Yanzhou to get something."

"what?"

"The paper contains what you need. Open it when you get to Yanzhou."

"..."

On August 24, the Fengxian Hall was filled with incense.

Xu Zhangshou knelt on the ground, lit incense, and started chatting with the late emperor about family matters.

"Royal brother, you left so hastily that I didn't even get to see you for the last time! And the throne hasn't even been settled yet, so why did you leave?"

The ministers kneeling on the ground all looked up at him.

Xu Qihuai clenched his sleeves and looked at his father's tablet. He said, "Uncle, where did you get this from? My father has been on the throne for many years, you have plenty of time to argue about it. Why did you only think of it after my father passed away?"

Xu Zhangshou talked about the past.

"Nephew, you were still young at that time and didn't know the inside story. Your royal grandfather said that he would let me be the emperor, but your father produced the imperial edict, so I had no choice but to give in. He promised me that after his death, the throne would be mine."

Bang!

He opened the boxes he had brought with him.

A long sword opened from it.
