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

Lu Jiao was quite disdainful: "A prince is gone, and they just fined a minister's salary. How meaningless."

Speaking of this, Lu Wei was also quite indignant.

"Yes, after all, you are just an unpopular prince, and you have no outside support.

In Jiang State, they can do whatever they want."

"Stop, there is only Lu Jiao here, not the Ninth Prince, don't make the mistake!"

Lu Wei slapped his mouth repeatedly: "I was careless, I won't do this again in the future."

"Where's that woman?"

Lu Wei immediately understood who Lu Jiao was asking about: "I heard that the emperor is going to give Concubine Shu another title to compensate her."

"The emperor is so stingy that he didn't even confer the title of noble concubine or imperial noble concubine on her." Lu Jiao curled his lips.

Wu Sangui interrupted, “How could the Emperor of Jiang allow our eldest princess to ascend to the position of Imperial Concubine? The court officials would not allow it.

Besides, Concubine Xian is eyeing that position!"

Tian Tian also said, "Yes, after this incident, the path to the promotion of Consort Xian is completely cut off."

Lu Jiao did not continue to express his opinion, but looked at Lu Wei who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say it directly, why are you hesitating?"

"She wants us to bribe the imperial physician to give her a good treatment and see if she can have another child."

After Lu Wei finished speaking, he carefully observed the expression on Lu Jiao's face.

"That's it? It's just that now that the Ninth Prince is gone, I want another one to continue competing for favor. What's wrong with that?"

Lu Jiao looked as if to say, "You underestimate me too much," and added, "Even if she wants to have another child, the emperor will not allow her to do so."

Perhaps because she is about to become a wife, Tian Tian is particularly sensitive to this topic.

"What inside information do you know?"

Lu Jiao made up a story: "Once, after the imperial physician examined Ping An's pulse, I overheard him talking to the medicine boy.

From what he said, it was the emperor's work.

The Jiang Kingdom does not allow the birth of another child of foreign blood."

Lu Wei and the other two were silent for a while, feeling unhappy.

Isn’t this the sadness of being a small country?

Seeing the dull atmosphere, Lu Jiao pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, don't think too much.

Aren’t we looking for another way out now? "

Then there was another burst of admiration for the scenery in the courtyard, and the atmosphere finally eased a little.

Seeing that there were a few carp in the small pond in the yard, Lu Jiao became interested and asked the little girl waiting at the garden gate to get some fish food.

Who knew that the people who came back, besides the little girl, there was also a young man seen in the front yard before.

Tian Tian didn't know that they had arrested six people when they came back, and frowned slightly: "Tian Ren, why are you here?"

Tian Ren glanced at Lu Wei and Wu Sangui, feeling very embarrassed: "When the son-in-law came back, he arrested a few people.

Now they are awake and making a fuss in the woodshed..."

"Don't worry, they are just a few thieves. The young master bought a lot of makeup for you and has moved it back to the warehouse for you. Go and have a look."

Lu Wei gave a brief explanation and stood up.

Wu Sangui would naturally go with them.

Lu Jiao also stood up: "This matter is probably related to me, I will go and take a look too."

The three followed Tian Ren and walked towards the front yard.

The house is well maintained, with rockery, strange rocks and red pillars connecting the corridors.

There are also small paths in between, all paved with round pebbles, so you don't have to worry about mud getting your shoes dirty when walking on them.

Lu Jiao even wanted to step on it barefoot, it would definitely feel very sore.

The three of them followed the path and passed through an archway.

From a distance, I could hear several people shouting in the courtyard.

"If you know what's best for you, let us out right now!"

"That is, do you know who I am?"

"I advise you to untie us quickly. There is still room for improvement. Otherwise, when we get out..."

Lu Jiao didn't wait for the man to finish and walked in: "What are you going to do outside? Find someone to take revenge on us?"

The person who had shouted the loudest just now fell silent when he saw three more elegantly dressed people coming in, one of whom was the man who was driving the coach before.

His eyes rolled around, and he knew in his heart that these three people were not as easy to scare as the two servants before.

Lu Jiao waved his hand, asked Tian Wu and Tian Yi, father and son, to go out first, and then closed the door of the woodshed.

"Tell me, who sent you here?

Why are you following behind our carriage?"

Although Lu Jiao was asking questions, his mental power was searching for useful information on the few people.

She didn't expect these people to confess so quickly.

The six people made faces for a long time, and finally Hou Ping, who was the best dressed among them, said, "We are the idlers in the capital.

Seeing that you bought so much cloth and you don’t speak with a Beijing accent, I thought of following you to see where you were going.”

"And the tripwire?"

Hou Ping choked and began to make up a story: "Later, I saw you guys buying gold and silver from Shopkeeper Zhong. The things in that wooden box must be expensive, so I wanted to rob it first."

Lu Jiao seemed to believe his lies and said to Lu Wei and Wu Sangui: "You two should go out first."

"it is good."

Lu Wei agreed readily and took the reluctant Wu Sangui away.

After the people walked away, Lu Jiao released the special skills of the alien plant, influencing and guiding with mental power, and asked again.

"Tell me, when did you start targeting me?"

The man still wanted to resist, but Lu Jiao's mental strength was much stronger than his. After a while, he completely let down his guard and fell out all at once.

It was really coming for Lu Jiao.

It turned out that the cloth shop she went to by accident was actually Yan Yuanhao's mother's dowry shop.

But the people inside had already been replaced by Butler Chai's own people.

Hou Ping would occasionally return to the Prince's Mansion and happened to meet Lu Jiao.

Seeing that she was so generous, he thought she had stolen Yan Yuanhao's money.

At first, I just wanted to figure out where Lu Jiao hid the "stolen goods".

But seeing how she bought the dragon and phoenix bracelets without blinking an eye, Hou Ping completely lost his composure.

He asked two idle men to take a detour through the alley and ambush Lu Jiao and his men.

Hou Ping, with his shop assistants, surrounded the enemy from behind.

The plan was good, but they greatly underestimated the strength of Lu Jiao and the other two.

Before Lu Jiao could even make a move, Lu Wei and Wu Sangui knocked everyone unconscious.

When they woke up, Hou Ping and six others had been tied up tightly with ropes, with only two timid servants guarding them.

Lu Jiao withdrew his mental power and thought about how to deal with this matter.

If she had followed her previous routine, she would have emptied the cloth shop and replaced it with the satin she got from her cheap father.

But this would inevitably involve Yan Yuanhao.

Although her cheap father has always doted on Yan Yuanhao, the emperor's mind is unpredictable. If he gets angry with her, she will lose her golden thigh!

Lu Jiao would not take such a risk.

She suddenly remembered the Datura King that she had collected from the Guo family before.

With its medicinal effect, just a little bit is enough to make these people crazy and completely forget that they had ever seen them.
