After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Chapter 6: Catching the Traitor Late at Night

It turned out to be Murong Ling's cousin, the current crown prince Murong Chi.

He patted Murong Ling's head gently: "Marriage is a matter of mutual consent."

"Even if you are a princess, you can't force others to do things against their will. Blocking people in the street like this will only bring shame to you, Murong Ling."

He looked at her calmly, as if he were looking at a child who was making a fuss. "Come here, take the princess back to the palace and tell the uncle to take good care of her. If he can't, I can stay at the palace tonight and help him."

"Brother Prince..."

Princess Le'an has never been a person who follows the rules, and she will never submit obediently.

But she could not get any good treatment in the hands of the prince. The prince specially brought female guards with him just to control her.

The prince stretched out his hand and Princess Le'an was speechless.

The female guard carried her back to the carriage, and soon the street was open to traffic.

The prince walked up to Lu Jiangnian with a smile on his face. "Didn't someone call me? Why are you so anxious to act?"

"Asking someone like Xuanying to dismantle a carriage is a waste of talent."

Lu Jiangnian glanced at him indifferently, knowing that the prince was doing it for his own good.

Now there are many people in the court who are keeping an eye on him, and the King of Qin is deeply loved by the emperor. Being rude to the lord of Le'an County is always a trouble.

"I thought you were coming after dinner."

Lu Jiangnian's blunt irony.

One is a gentleman like jade, noble and gentle, while the other is cold and deep, with an aloofness that keeps people at a distance.

However, when the two of them stood together, they were surprisingly harmonious.

From their words and actions, it can be seen that they have a deep affection for each other.

Yuan Wanru thought of the plot in the book where they became enemies, and couldn't help but stare at the prince in a daze.

"I put aside all the important things I had to do and rushed over to help you out, but you still don't appreciate it."

"Don't worry, Le'an will definitely not show up at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion tomorrow."

Yuan Wanru couldn't help but nodded.

That’s right, the person who will appear tomorrow is the heroine of the book, but Murong Ling will not have any role.

Lu Jiangnian noticed the way she stared at the prince, and thought about how this person had fallen into the water to plot against him. Could it be that she was setting her sights on the prince?

He was very unhappy: "What are you standing there for? Get in the car."

His tone was full of disgust, and Yuan Wanru felt confused.

She snorted softly, bowed to the prince with a smile, turned around and left.

The prince looked at her back with a smile: "Your fiancée really surprised me. She actually dared to turn her face away from you."

He and Lu Jiangnian were close friends. When Lu Jiangnian told the story of Wangzhu Lake, the prince had already labeled Yuan Wanru as scheming.

Looking at it today, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Lu Jiangnian did not want to discuss Yuan Wanru with the prince: "The matter is settled, you can leave now, I have something else to do."

Only Lu Jiangnian would dare to treat him like this, using him and throwing him away.

"Okay, I know you're getting married tomorrow and you're very busy."

However, he said seriously, "Le'an went to the outskirts of Beijing to play for several days. The day before yesterday, the Crown Princess went to find the Princess of Qin and asked her to accompany Le'an to ensure that the news of your marriage would not reach Le'an's ears."

"It's no accident that she's here today. Pay more attention."

Lu Jiangnian understood what he meant.

The King of Qin and his wife are both smart people. The reason why the King of Qin's Palace has been safe and sound and has continued to enjoy favor over the years is that the couple has always been prudent and self-protective.

The Lu family holds military power, and the emperor is not happy about the Qin Palace marrying into their family.

Coupled with Lu Jiangnian's avoidant attitude, the Qin King and his wife were even more reluctant to let their only legitimate daughter marry into the Lu family.

Being able to instigate Princess Le'an to return to the capital and cause trouble despite the strict defense of the Princess Qin shows that the person behind the scenes has put in a lot of effort.

The prince said calmly, "I guess someone got the news and can't sit still anymore."

In March of this spring, Lu Song and Lu Jiangnian defeated the Mohe.

The Mohe were badly weakened and signed a tribute treaty, which made the emperor very happy.

Lu Jiangnian now holds the position of Huaihua Zhonglang Jiang, a fourth-rank general. Because of his meritorious service this time, the emperor intends to promote him to the third-rank Weiwei Qing.

During the Dajing Dynasty, the post of Weiweiqing has always been held by the emperor's confidants, who are in charge of the garrison at the palace gates and the security of the inner palace, and are directly under the emperor's jurisdiction.

Although Lu Jiangnian is close to the prince, the prince is the heir apparent chosen by the emperor himself. He does not avoid mentioning the prince, but that does not mean he does not avoid mentioning the King of Qin.

If the Prince of Qin and the Lu family become relatives, the emperor will always feel a little uneasy.

The emperor is high above everyone else and cannot see, or is unwilling to see, many things.

All the court officials understood that the princes were grown up, and although the throne had been decided long ago, as long as one of them was no longer the emperor, others would have the opportunity to compete for it.

Therefore, there are many people who do not want Lu Jiangnian to become the Minister of Imperial Guards.

"So what? The Holy Will cannot be arbitrarily controlled by others."

The prince's position is stable, and those people are desperate and make more mistakes than they can handle.

Lu Jiangnian didn't take these things to heart.

Those people were mistaken. He and Murong Ling had never had anything to do with each other.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."

There is a plaque with the words "Le You Ju" hanging at the entrance of the house on Baima Street.

This is a three-courtyard house, which is very spacious and exquisitely designed.

The pond is surrounded by lush greenery, flowers and trees, and there is a small bridge over the flowing water, which has the charm of a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yuan Wanru fell in love with this place at first sight. She was very happy and her smile was bright, pure and lively.

Lu Jiangnian looked at her smile, his eyes full of inquiry.

This woman seems like a different person.

As far as he could remember, he had never seen her smile like this before, not to mention that today, under Murong Ling's intimidation, she dared to deliberately provoke her.

You are really brave.

On second thought, she was probably just pretending before. She is indeed a deep-minded person.

"You're here, I'm leaving."

Madam Pang wanted to keep him. "It's getting late. Why don't you stay and have dinner with the young lady?"

Lu Jiangnian naturally did not respond.

Yuan Wanru spoke politely before Aunt Pang, "Brother Lu has a lot to do, so I won't see you off. Bye."

Such an earnest attitude seemed to hope that he would disappear immediately.

He looked at her deeply, then turned and strode away.

Aunt Pang said with dismay, "The young lady is going to marry the eldest young master tomorrow. Why don't you take this opportunity to ask him to stay so that they can get to know each other better?"

Yuan Wanru smiled particularly happily: "Since we will get familiar with each other sooner or later, why rush it now?"

"Mammy, I'm hungry. Let's eat quickly."

Only after having a full meal will I have the energy to "catch ghosts" tonight.

Leyouju was decorated in a very festive manner. In the night, red lanterns were hung everywhere, dotted with colorful silks, and the lights were bright.

After midnight, people start to feel sleepy.

Several old women who were on night watch were drowsy and did not notice that the door of the west wing was pushed open.

The man took a lamp and went in quietly. He came to a carved wooden box, opened the box and poured wax into it.

Then, she held up the candlestick and wanted to light it, but she saw clearly that the clothes inside were not bright red wedding dresses at all.

But it's an old piece of cloth.

She hurried back, but there was no way back.
