She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

The Cheng family's timely arrival has just solved the Prince of Yan's urgent problem!

Let alone two requests within his capabilities, even if the head of the Cheng family asked for a place in the backyard of the Prince's mansion, he would agree! It's just keeping one more idle person in the backyard, which the Prince's mansion can afford!

Prince Yan snapped out of his thoughts and said calmly, "Zitong, have Granny Gu make the trip."

Upon hearing this decision, Lu Huan smiled with relief.

Gu is the surname of the royal family.

The nannies who were granted a royal surname were usually those who were appointed as chief nannies by the emperor when he was granted a princely title and the palace.

Not only did he possess a high rank, but even the princess had to treat him with utmost respect.

If we send Granny Gu on this trip, not only Lu Huan herself, but probably the entire Gao clan, including Gao Zhongbao, will have to kneel and pay their respects.

Ignoring her tears, she knelt down with a thud and cried out, "Thank you, Your Highness and Your Highness! May Your Highness be safe and healthy, live a long and happy life, and be loving and devoted to Your Highness until the end!"

Princess Yan covered half her face with a handkerchief, her cheeks flushed: "You silly girl, it was clearly the prince's order, yet you're thanking me!"

But Lu Huan's words struck a chord with the Prince of Yan.

He chuckled softly, and even Lu Huan could tell that the Prince of Yan was in a good mood.

The coldness in his previous words had softened considerably: "Zitong, I think this little girl is quite interesting. She can come to the palace often in the future and tell you about the interesting things that happen outside."

This is what she meant by asking the princess to take care of her!

Lu Huan's face was almost pressed against the gold bricks paving the floor, his mouth wide open in a grin.

The Prince of Yan's affection for his princess was indeed extraordinary! She made the right bet!

In her previous life, the princess gave birth to four pairs of children for the Prince of Yan in her early years. Later, when the Prince of Yan went on a military campaign, she assisted the crown prince in guarding his fiefdom. At that time, the princess's health was not very good.

After the Prince of Yan ascended the throne, Empress Xu's health deteriorated. Even after posting imperial edicts to summon physicians to the palace for treatment, her condition did not improve.

Many court officials used this as an opportunity to criticize the new emperor, saying that even Heaven couldn't stand it and sent down disease to punish him.

The new emperor was furious and, on charges of great disrespect, ordered the extermination of the officials' entire families.

Lu Huan had considered offering some spiritual water to the Empress to help her recover, but Gao Zhongbao refused.

Only after being reborn did Lu Huan understand.

Gao Zhongbao clearly believed that the new emperor was just as heartless and hypocritical as he was, and that the charge of disrespecting the empress was merely an excuse to eliminate dissidents.

He knew that investing wouldn't yield any returns and might even arouse the new emperor's suspicion, which was why he didn't take action.

Lu Huan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Li Rong was a pervert, and Gao Zhongbao was no better.

Thinking this way, the initial joy of having someone to back me up faded a bit.

Princess Yan noticed the change in Lu Huan's expression and asked, "Miss Lu, do you have any concerns? Just tell me, and I will stand up for you."

Lu Huan was thinking about which of the two short people was more disgusting, and he had no other concerns.

Her mind raced, and she quickly came up with an excuse: "If Granny Gu comes with me, it will be enough to intimidate the elders of the Gao family."

"But I'm worried that the Gao family lives in the countryside on the outskirts of the city. If the people attending the ceremony offend Granny Gu, then it will be my fault."

"What's so difficult about that? We'd have to ask the Prince for help with this!"

Since giving birth to the eighth prince, the princess has maintained a dignified and composed demeanor, and it has been a long time since she has been so playful.

The Prince of Yan was in a great mood and almost stepped out from behind the screen to take a good look at his princess's pretty face.

However, considering that there were still outsiders in the study, he twirled his fingers and said, "As long as Zitong speaks, there's nothing I can't do!"

The princess smiled radiantly, and you couldn't tell at all that she was almost thirty years old.

"Then please ask Your Highness to send a squad of guards from the Prince's residence to accompany them!"

"The Princess Consort is indeed very thoughtful!"

The two looked at each other across the screen, as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them.

Lu Huan was very perceptive and silently kowtowed three times to the two of them.

After the two left the study, Lu Huan couldn't help but sigh, "The prince and princess have such a good relationship!"

Lu Huan gained the favor of her two masters, and Zi Jin's attitude towards her improved considerably, and she was also willing to chat with her for a while.

"Of course! All of the prince's children were born to the princess!"

Lu Huan's eyes flickered and became somewhat moist: "A person as good as the Princess Consort must take good care of herself and live a long and healthy life."

This is a blessing for us people of Yanjing, and a blessing for the north!

"Indeed!" Zijing was pleased to hear such praise. She secretly planned to report Lu Huan's words and actions to her princess later.

She led Lu Huan back to the same side room as before.

"I'll go and inform Granny Gu. You should also wipe the tear stains off your face; they make you look terrible!"

Lu Huan calculated the time and realized that more than half of it had already passed, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Thank you for your trouble, sister. But I'm worried that we won't make it in time if we take the carriage. I'll finish washing up and ride there first to buy some time."

"Good sister, please beg Granny Gu for me, she must come quickly! Otherwise, I'm worried the Lu family will send people to arrest me and take me back!"

Zijing patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry! Your position as the principal wife of the Gao family is secure in the Prince's mansion!"

Lu Huan wasn't so optimistic; she knew her father very well.

Back then, when Li was just a concubine, she once suggested to Lu Chengde that Lu Ruyi be married into the Li family.

However, Lu Chengde disagreed and used the excuse that "it is the parents' order, and a concubine should not get involved" to brush it off.

Unexpectedly, Li would outwardly comply but inwardly defy her, and secretly went to ask Lu Huan's mother, Cheng.

Cheng didn't think too much about it. Since her birth mother had agreed, she, as the unfavored stepmother, went along with it and made the trip on Li's behalf.

By the time Lu Chengde found out, the Cheng family had already exchanged betrothal gifts with the Li family, making it impossible for them to easily break off the engagement.

Lu Chengde could only reluctantly accept it, but his words were full of resentment.

As Lu Ruyi grew older, she became increasingly dissatisfied with her mother's arrangements. Madam Li also regretted her hasty decision based on her family's advice.

The Lu couple wanted to break off the engagement, but they hadn't found a better marriage partner for the time being. Moreover, if the Lu family proposed breaking off the engagement, they would have to give the Li family a lot of benefits, which Lu Chengde was reluctant to do.

This delay stretched on until Lu Ruyi turned sixteen.

Lu Huan guessed that Lu Ruyi probably used these benefits to persuade Li Shi to help her do this substitution.

It's just unknown whether Lu Ruyi can bear the consequences of this.

Lu Huan sneered, and the next moment, a porcelain cup filled with spiritual spring water appeared in her right hand.

The surrounding air suddenly became fresh, and the irritation in Lu Huan's heart was soothed.

At the same time, a small, golden, transparent ball, about the size of a peanut, appeared in his hand.

She bit down on her previous wound again, squeezing out a drop of blood, which fell into the porcelain cup. A moment later, she also put the small golden ball into the cup.

We're going to the Gao family's place later; there's bound to be a tough battle ahead.

Soft armor can only protect the torso. If there are any gaps and someone injures the limbs, that would be terrible.

On such a joyous occasion, how could we possibly see blood, such an unlucky thing!

Lu Huan lowered her eyes and drank the medicine in the porcelain cup in one gulp, leaving not a single drop.
