After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Lu Wei is not a big shot, but she is Lu Jiangnian's sister after all. The emperor personally asked about her departure this morning.

However, since Lu Jiangnian dared to say that she was infected with the disease, he must have been fully prepared.

He had already made arrangements with the imperial physician.

The emperor just asked a few questions casually, and after the explanation was made, he didn't mention it again.

But the prince smelled something unusual.

Because the imperial physician is the prince's man.

"Tell me, what happened? Why did your sister suddenly get sick?"

There were only him and the prince in the room. Lu Jiangnian saw a familiar tea can on the prince's desk. He opened it and saw that it was osmanthus tea again.

"Haha, this is the osmanthus tea that Concubine Liang sent a while ago. If you like it, take some home and drink it."

Lu Jiangnian shook his head, "I don't like it."

The prince said helplessly: "You know, I don't like it either, but Concubine Liang is so kind, so I can only bear it."

"Luckily, she only sends one can every year, otherwise, I would be miserable."

It sounded like a complaint, but Lu Jiangnian did not miss the brightness in the prince's smile.

Speaking of which, osmanthus tea has a history.

When Empress Sun was alive, she liked osmanthus tea. Every autumn, Concubine Liang would personally dry osmanthus tea for Empress Sun. This habit never stopped until Empress Sun passed away.

Later, when Empress Sun passed away, Concubine Liang passed this custom on to the Crown Prince.

It has been more than ten years, and she has never missed a year. How could the prince not be moved by such a kind mother's heart?

"A while ago, when Concubine Liang brought me some osmanthus tea, she heard me cough twice and told me to drink more. This tea can detoxify and reduce phlegm, and it has the effect of moistening the lungs and replenishing qi. Look, I've put it here and I brew a pot every day."

One third of the osmanthus tea in the teapot is gone.

Lu Jiangnian thought for a moment, "My wife seems to like this drink. Since Your Highness doesn't like it either, I'll ask for some back to give to her. It can be considered as a way to relieve Your Highness's worries."

The prince pointed at him and said "yo yo" twice, "Here you go, just don't take it all."

"You've been so lustful lately that it makes me sick to my stomach to see you."

Lu Jiangnian didn't hesitate and found a clean small teapot from the antique shelf and filled it with the remaining half.

The prince tutted his words and said, "I really should let my cousin come and see. The iron-hearted Prince Lu has now become a virtuous and considerate lover."

The cousin he was referring to was Sun Huanzhi.

However, Sun Huanzhi has been busy investigating the matter of Kong Xiuyun's purse these past two days and has no time to see them.

Thinking of this, the Crown Prince's casual demeanor changed, and his face darkened. "My cousin screened all the members of the Kong family and found no one wrong. Finally, he found the suspect. He was a servant who used to serve in the palace."

"However, this servant has disappeared without a trace."

"Haining was nearly injured. My grandmother has been following this case closely. My cousin told her what he found out, and she was furious. She ordered a thorough investigation."

No one is a fool. The palace is not the outside world. The emperor comes here every year. The assets of those who stay here to serve have long been thoroughly investigated.

Obviously, this matter involved the inner affairs of the palace, and it was not appropriate for Lu Jiangnian to interfere, so the emperor never mentioned it to him.

The Crown Prince sneered, "It's nothing more than Concubine Zhao or Madam Zhaohua, but Father has suppressed it and won't allow an investigation."

What the emperor meant was that only Kong Xiuyun was injured, and Sun Haining was not seriously injured, so the matter was over.

Today, rewards were given to Haining in droves, and the Kong family was not left out either.

The prince said sarcastically, "Why would anyone plot against the Kong family? This accident was originally aimed at Haining."

It is ironic that he suffered an unexpected disaster but was unable to track down the real culprit, yet he still had to be grateful and thank the emperor for his grace.

When this topic was discussed, the room became quiet.

The reason why the emperor suppressed this matter was simply because Madam Zhaohua had been ill for the past two days, and the imperial physician said that she was depressed.

As the number one person in the harem, what could be so worthy of Madam Zhaohua being upset and unhappy?

Isn’t it because of the scandal that happened between the Jiang and Chen families a while ago?

In short, the emperor felt distressed when Madam Zhaohua had a minor illness. He was worried that if the matter of Sun Haining was investigated further, Madam Zhaohua would be implicated, so he made the final decision.

To be honest, Lu Jiangnian had never been able to understand the emperor's actions before.

Now, he really understood a little.

For example, the pill of infertility medicine that Quartz sent me this morning.

From Lu Jiangnian's perspective, the punishment he imposed on Lu Wei was quite severe.

The medicine that would make him sterile clearly told him that Yuan Wanru felt it was not enough and she wanted to make Lu Wei suffer for the rest of her life.

You know, for a woman, if she cannot have her own children throughout her life, it is a huge humiliation and torture. She will probably not be able to let it go until the moment she lies in the coffin.

Lu Jiangnian knew clearly that once the sterilization drug was fed to the child, there would be no turning back.

In the end, he still chose to follow Yuan Wanru's wishes.

He couldn't bear to see her suffer.

Just like last night, he was clearly about to explode with endurance, but he still managed to get through it.

Because his wife tortured him just to vent her anger, and as long as she could vent her anger, he would endure it even if it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Is this what it feels like to like someone?

Lu Jiangnian didn’t know if other people were like him, becoming emotional when they fell in love with someone.

He smiled self-deprecatingly. He even lied when he fed Lu Wei the pill this morning.

Because he was worried that if Lu Wei knew the truth, then his mother would know too.

From now on, I will never treat you the same way I do now.

My wife will definitely be sad.

So, he was willing to cover it all up for her.

If Lu Wei wants to hate someone, then she should hate him; if her mother wants to blame someone, then she should blame him.

Lu Jiangnian said nothing, and the prince felt bored. He changed the subject: "By the way, what's going on with your sister?"

Although what happened last night was embarrassing, Lu Jiangnian still told the prince everything.

The prince's eyes became sharp: "Exactly the same."

"This method is exactly the same as the one used against Kong Xiuyun."

"Jiang Nian, what do you think, Madam Zhaohua or Concubine Zhao?"

Lu Jiangnian hesitated to speak, but finally decided to tell the truth, "I think it was Liang Yusong."

what?

The prince showed a rare look of surprise. This answer was definitely beyond his expectations.

"You, where did you get this from?"

Lu Jiangnian said calmly, "Because she once said that she likes me, and she has been in frequent contact with my sister recently."

"Your Highness, ordinary medicines are useless to me, and Liang Yusong's grandfather is Imperial Physician Gao."

"But this doesn't mean she drugged me?"

The prince still couldn't accept it.

Even if Liang Yusong liked Lu Jiangnian, there was no reason for her to do this.

Such a noble lady, would you degrade yourself to become a concubine?

The Liang family’s family tradition is not that bad, right?

He always felt that it wasn't necessary.

"You also said that it was Liu Jun... and it wasn't Miss Liang who offered herself to me. I think you're being overly suspicious about this matter."
