The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs
Chapter 7: Not Planning to Go to Southern Yunnan
When Lu Jiao was under house arrest before, they sent him a lot of rotten food.
Fortunately, she wouldn't starve to death if she didn't eat for a short period of time, otherwise she would really endure the nausea and eat the rotten rice.
Although she had eaten a lot of strange-tasting and even rotten things during the apocalypse, that was for the sake of survival.
If conditions permit, she would definitely prefer to eat delicious food.
Thinking back to when he was in the martial arts gym and the previous director had asked them to memorize so many recipes, Lu Jiao felt hungry again.
After quickly searching the courtyard of the two people, Lu Jiao imitated the voice of Old Fourteen and shouted, "There is an assassin!" before leaving.
Most of the dirt on his hands had been smeared on the Second Prince, but there was still an unpleasant sour smell.
So when Lu Jiao went back, she took a detour to the prince's small kitchen.
Looking at the bacon hanging from the beams, she felt even hungrier.
She scooped up some water and washed her hands, and while doing so, she put everything in the small kitchen into the space.
This time even the water tank was not left behind.
Lu Jiao returned the same way and climbed up the courtyard wall, and then he noticed someone standing in the yard.
It was Lu Wei.
"Where have you been?"
Lu Jiao pretended to take out a food box from the other side of the wall, but in fact, it contained a lot of wine and food.
She jumped down from the wall swiftly: "Xiao Dezi fell to Concubine Xian, no one brought me food, I had to find it myself. Otherwise, where do you think the food that was sent to me every time came from!"
Lu Wei looked at Lu Jiao with complicated eyes.
What he had discovered in the past two days almost made him want to kill his master.
Lu Jiao carried a lunch box and called Lu Wei, "Come in first, how should I address you? I can't always call you you."
"You can call me Lu Wei."
Lu Jiao closed the door and took out all the food and wine from the food box.
"Let's eat something together?"
Lu Wei didn't sit down directly, but asked first: "With such a commotion outside, do you still have the mind to eat and drink?"
Lu Jiao casually pointed to the round stool opposite.
She left a trace of mental power at the gate of the courtyard, so if someone approached, she would still have time to deal with them.
"What are you afraid of? How do you think I survived these two years? You're standing so high, I can't eat just looking at you. Sit down!"
Lu Weiyi choked and could only sit down as he was told. He also took the wine pot and said, "You are a child, you can't drink yet!"
"I'm already twelve!"
Lu Wei almost blurted out "You are still a girl!", but fortunately he swallowed a glass of wine and swallowed the words in time.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Jiao swallowed a mouthful of pork elbow and asked vaguely, "What did you find out?"
Lu Wei drank another glass of wine and sighed, "The princess is no longer the same princess of Southern Dian Kingdom. She has forgotten her responsibilities as a princess married to a foreign country.
She receives tribute from her motherland every year, but she puts her motherland in such a predicament! How can she feel so at ease? "
Among the people placed in the palace by the Southern Dian Kingdom, Lu Wei is the one with the highest status.
The annual offerings from Concubine Shu were delivered to Yuehua Palace through his hands.
Lu Jiao's ears moved: "How much is the annual offering?"
No wonder Concubine Shu was so generous. Lu Jiao thought it was a dowry she brought from her motherland, but she didn't expect it to be an offering of flowers!
"It should be no less than one hundred thousand taels."
"Tsk tsk, it's better to take the money back and spend it on the people of Southern Dian instead of wasting it on her."
Lu Wei almost crushed the wine glass in his hand: "She is your mother."
Lu Jiao rolled her eyes.
"Come on, forget it. I don't believe you haven't found out what kind of life I have been leading in the palace these years.
When I was young, she even asked a nanny to soak me in cold water to make me feverish so that she could lead my father to her palace.
It was only after I came to the Prince's residence that I began to live like a human being.
But that’s all. I only have Xiao Dezi to serve me, and I have to do many personal matters by myself.
Does she have any feelings for me as a mother and daughter? Does she have any feelings for her homeland, Southern Yunnan?
Doesn't she know that the crime of deceiving the emperor will bring trouble to the Southern Dian Kingdom, which could lead to the doubling of annual tribute or the destruction of the country?"
Lu Wei subconsciously wanted to refute, but he had to admit that this speculation was reasonable.
The Southern Dian Kingdom certainly could not afford such consequences.
"how do you want to do it?"
Seeing Lu Wei taking the bait, Lu Jiao raised the corners of his mouth and leaned forward: "Why don't you be loyal to me instead?"
"That's impossible! We can't let our people be killed in this meaningless palace fight!"
Lu Wei put down his wine glass and wanted to stand up and leave.
As a result, he was slapped by Lu Jiao and staggered, and sat back down.
"You are considered a small leader, why are you so impatient!"
Lu Jiao took out a dagger and slowly shaved the meat off the bone.
In a short while, she had shaved the entire pork elbow until only the bones were left.
Lu Jiao's skillful use of the dagger forced Lu Wei to look directly at the little girl in front of him.
"You know your own situation. Whether it's the former dynasty or the harem, we will no longer participate in the struggle of Jiang Kingdom."
In fact, after Lu Jiao found Lu Wei, he quickly found out what happened.
Naturally, the things that Lu Shuyue and her personal nanny Miao Ma concealed could not be hidden from the ears of those spies.
After they knew this secret, they were very dissatisfied with Lu Shuyue, the former princess.
Lu Wei has already sent a message to the King of Southern Dian. Before he receives a reply, these spies who have not yet been activated will only lurk deeper.
And those who are activated will step down from their current positions for various reasons.
Lu Jiao casually threw the bone in his hand back into the food box: "Who said I want you to stay in the palace? Something happened in the palace recently, you can take this opportunity to evacuate."
"Are you all going to evacuate?"
Lu Wei couldn't believe it. They were no longer in the palace. What use was there for Lu Jiao to have them?
Seeing that Lu Wei's glass was empty, Lu Jiao stood up and added some for him.
"You might as well leave a few people in the palace to gather information. Our people can't be completely blind to what's happening in the palace."
Lu Wei immediately thought of a possibility: "You want to leave the palace!"
Lu Jiao gave a thumbs up: "Smart!"
"Then why do you want us to be loyal to you? Go to the king. He will definitely use you for the princess' sake."
Lu Jiao shook his head: "I don't plan to go to Southern Dian.
As for you, you have been out for at least ten years. You will not be of much use if you go back. You might as well follow me."
Lu Wei had to admit that Lu Jiao was right.
Lu Jiao struck while the iron was hot: "Nan Dian is sandwiched between Jiang and Daxia. It does not have an advantageous geographical location, and it has always been in conflict with Daxia, so it can only rely on Jiang.
The ruler of Southern Dian placed you in the palace, on the one hand to take care of your mother, and on the other hand to find out the news of the previous dynasty..."
Lu Wei interrupted her and said, "That's your uncle!"
Lu Jiao pouted and muttered softly: "I have never taken his New Year's money!"
Lu Wei felt even more guilty, as he had indeed ignored the news around Concubine Shu in the past.
The Ninth Prince had a hard time. They just thought that the Emperor of Jiang treated him harshly. Unexpectedly...
Thinking of the news they had sent back before, the king felt sorry for his nephew and specially added an extra 10,000 taels of silver as tribute.
It seems like they are just throwing meat buns at dogs!
