The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

When Wang Po saw the person emerging from the sack, she was stunned at first, and then she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling as if she had seen gold.

"Okay, okay! This is good stuff!"

Lu Jiao also agreed with a smile: "Yes, yes, I also watched for a long time before I took action!"

Wang Po's smile faded, and her tone became arrogant: "The goods are not bad, Huzi, give him fifty taels of silver."

"Only fifty taels! I won't sell it to you!"

Lu Jiao gathered the bag and wanted to leave with it on his shoulder.

But the next moment, a dozen big men came out from the rooms on both sides, surrounded her viciously, and their eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

There is a kind of "If you don't take this money, don't even think about leaving" attitude.

Wang Po picked at her nails, with a half-smile on her face.

"What do you think? If you think the money is too little, then you can leave."

Seeing that they were outnumbered and powerful, Lu Jiao angrily snatched the five silver ingots from Wang Lao Hu.

He ran out in a flash.

Wang Po glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate, and the two strong men nodded and followed Lu Jiao's figure.

"Send the goods over. Tell the people over there to keep an eye on them and not spoil their appearance!"

"Yes!"

Lu Jiao went out for a walk and then returned to Wang Po's yard and took away all the silver and money in the yard.

By the way, he put a few more pieces of tribute silk together with the previous one.

Very punishing! Enough for them to get lunch boxes from the government.

Lu Jiao didn't feel sorry at all about giving away those pieces of tribute satin.

Those tribute satins cannot be sold, nor can they be made into clothes to wear, so it is appropriate to exchange them for some money.

She returned to Lu's house humming a little tune, and saw Lu Wei standing at her door.

Just like that night, he was waiting for her in the courtyard of the prince's residence.

Lu Jiao felt warm in his heart, but he still said nonchalantly: "Why, are you worried about me?"

"Yes."

Since Lu Wei was so frank, Lu Jiao couldn't hide it anymore.

She motioned Lu Wei to follow her into the house, and then told him all her plans for tomorrow.

Lu Wei was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"We are useless and a burden to the Master."

Lu Jiao waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's because my mother is unreliable, otherwise why would we go so far? There is a broad road to take, but we have to be obsessed with love."

There are some things that Lu Jiao can say but are inappropriate for Lu Wei to say.

So he didn't agree, nor did he nod or shake his head.

Lu Jiao didn't make things difficult for him.

"I used the Second Prince's help to escape earlier, and at the same time, I also saved my mother from danger.

She will never be charged with deceiving the emperor because of my existence.

In the future, the most that will happen is competition for favor among the harem.

With her intelligence, she can't do anything serious that would cost her her life without help.

Allocate some people to keep an eye on her, don't let her commit suicide, and be banished to the cold palace by the emperor."

Lu Wei's mood was complicated: "That's your mother."

"I have saved her life, haven't I? And indirectly saved all of you, including the lives of the people of Southern Dian.

Isn't that enough to repay her kindness in raising me?

Besides, my stepfather can’t do anything to the Guo family and the second prince for the time being, and he must be feeling guilty towards my mother and Nan Dian.

If my mother had been smarter, she would have used the death of the ninth prince to win the emperor's sympathy.

By the way, let my uncle also submit a petition to express his sadness in a while.

Maybe I can be exempted from paying tribute for a few years, which can be regarded as my contribution to southern Yunnan."

"Ok."

Lu Jiao had already made this decision and arranged it so well, what else could Lu Wei say?

She has even taken Nan Dian's situation into consideration, so anything else she says would be forcing it.

Lu Wei decided that from now on, unless the Grand Princess’ life was in danger, he would not tell Lu Jiao about her.

Lu Jiao also explained to Lu Wei the matter of Wang Po in Tianshui Lane.

Let him send a common person to Shuntian Prefecture to report the case.

Although the news of the theft from the private vault had not been made public, the three judicial departments and the chief officials of Shuntian Prefecture must have known about it.

As soon as there is even a little clue, they will dig deep into the ground like hungry wolves to dig out the people behind the scenes.

On the other side, in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Concubine Shu was getting angry at the people below.

"Where's that damn girl Qinglan?"

The palace maid shrank her neck and said, "Sister Qinglan has contracted a serious illness and has been sent out of the palace. No...she will never come back."

Concubine Shu's eyes were red, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Such a big thing, why didn't anyone tell me?

Now that my ninth prince is gone, are they all going to ride on my head?

Where is your majesty?

Your Majesty! My concubine Lao Jiu is gone. I am so sad! "

The sound spread far away to another side hall.

The emperor was working overtime reviewing memorials. When he heard the faint crying, he couldn't help but pinching his brows.

"Quan Hongsheng, go check on Concubine Shu. Why is she crying again?"

Eunuch Quan also felt a throbbing pain in his head.

This Concubine Shu has already invited the Emperor to visit her several times under the pretext of the Ninth Prince.

If this continues, I'm afraid that the little bit of guilt that Your Majesty has finally felt will be worn away.

"Your Majesty, perhaps the Concubine Shu is missing the Ninth Prince again."

"Hmph - you old thing, are you kidding me? Why didn't I see her care so much about Old Nine before?

Why hasn't Yuehua Palace been decorated yet? What do the people in the inner warehouse do for a living?

It's been several days and we still can't even decorate a palace!

Tell them to clean up tomorrow and send that woman Lu Shuyue back as soon as possible!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go right away!"

Eunuch Quan quickly stepped out and turned around to wipe the sweat from his head.

He has to go and have a good talk with Concubine Shu.

If he continues to behave like this, His Majesty will always take his anger out on him, and that's unbearable!

Eunuch Quan spoke a lot, using both persuasion and intimidation, and finally convinced Concubine Shu.

But the next moment, it was heard that the emperor ordered the people in the inner warehouse to speed up and clean up the Yuehua Palace.

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and wanted to cry again.

But as long as you don't make any noise and disturb the emperor, Eunuch Quan won't care.

After an afternoon and a night, all the clothes Lu Jiao had prepared were dry.

Lu Ze pinched his nose and said with disgust: "Brother, do we really have to wear this?"

Lu Jiao was at a loss for words: "You were wearing this dress a few days ago! Do you dislike it so soon?

I just rinsed it with water, and the taste became more even, not as strong as before!"

Lu Wei also advised: "Young Master, Aze is right. You don't need to make such a big sacrifice!"

"No need to persuade me!"

Lu Jiao looked down at Lu Ze and said, "Today we will learn one thing, which is to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

You don’t even want to wear a dirty piece of clothing now, but if you meet your enemy one day, can you still control your emotions and ensure that you don’t reveal yourself?

If you don't want to, then don't go.

It would be fine to follow Lu Wei and the others and stay at Lu's residence."

“No!” Lu Ze hugged Lu Jiao’s waist tightly, “Brother, don’t leave me!”

"And you too."

Lu Jiao looked past Lu Ze and towards Lu Wei.

"Don't think that the people around Prince Huainan are all good-for-nothings.

Those were all former subordinates of the old Duke Zhenguo. Could they be fooled so easily?

Remember, practice martial arts well.

Also, don't come to the Huainan County Prince's Mansion to find me.

No matter how urgent the matter is, you must put the note in the place we agreed on before.

This is the fastest and safest way.”

Lu Wei looked solemn and nodded vigorously.
