After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 217 Lu's Deep Love

"Miss!"

Tang Wei stopped the carriage and jumped down from the shaft. "Your Highness, the prince has sent a secret letter from Yanjing. In addition, the guards of the East Factory in Xijing City have also sent a secret document of great urgency."

Since Xia Yu left Kyoto, Tang Wei has been specifically responsible for receiving and delivering secret letters from the Black Dragon Guards and the East Factory Guards to Shen Yuyao.

But when Tang Wei appeared in front of Shen Yuyao dressed as a coachman, she still felt a little strange.

Shen Yuyao took the secret letter from Tang Wei, read it quickly, and then turned around and handed it back to Tang Wei, "Burn it."

Tang Wei answered yes, took out a fire stick and burned the secret letters one by one.

"I want to go for a while, you drive back home first." Shen Yuyao said lightly when the last flame went out.

It is late autumn and there is always wind blowing at night.

Waves of cool air blew over her face, and Shen Yuyao also wanted to take the opportunity to clear her mind.

Tang Wei parked the carriage on the side of the road and hurried forward with Shen Yuyao.

"My lady, it's cold at night, so you should take a carriage back home." Tang Wei whispered, "There is a curfew in Kyoto nowadays."

Shen Yuyao looked at Tang Wei. He seldom spoke so much to her on weekdays. At this moment, she felt that Tang Wei was a little different.

Tang Wei tilted his head towards the carriage parked on the side of the road and signaled her with his eyes, "Princess, the prince has a letter."

Shen Yuyao suddenly understood. She looked around and saw nothing special, so she quickly walked towards the carriage.

He got in the car, quickly lifted the curtain, and slipped inside.

“Mother…Mother…”

Tang Wei was about to follow the carriage, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he stopped seven or eight steps away from the carriage.

"Yuyao!"

It was Xia Yu who was in the car. He looked at Shen Yuyao with a smile in his eyes, "You guessed it was me, right?"

The curtains were very thick and covered very tightly, so no light could be seen from outside the carriage.

The interior of the car was unusually bright.

Xia Yu was sitting on the couch, with several pieces of letter paper placed on the small square table.

"What's the matter, Your Highness? Why do you risk returning to the capital?" Shen Yuyao walked gently to Xia Yu's side and sat down, looking up and asked.

"A little worried."

After not seeing each other for a few months, Xia Yu's handsome face looked even thinner.

Since returning to Yanjing, he missed the Ning Palace, his princess, and his children all the time.

He risked his life to return to Beijing, only because half a month had passed without any news about Shen Yuyao reaching Yanjing.

So, he panicked a little.

It just so happened that the spy left by Xia Yu in the Qin Palace in Xijing suddenly had no news for half a month, so he rushed back to Kyoto quietly without stopping.

Risking being punished by the emperor.

Shen Yuyao didn't want to accept his kindness today, so she just responded calmly, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me."

Xia Yu knew that she was somewhat blaming him for taking the risk of returning to the capital, so he changed the subject and asked, "Did something big happen in the Qin Palace?"

"Yeah." Shen Yuyao frowned, nodded and said, "I just received the secret report as well."

It turned out that the prince died suddenly after returning from Xijing, the vassal state of the King of Qin.

In grief, the Emperor of Daxia first sent the Black Dragon Guards to secretly bring the Qin Prince's concubine Deng, who had always done many evil things, to the capital.

Then, regardless of the King of Qin's pleadings, he had Deng executed by slow slicing.

The emperor's original intention was to execute the King of Qin's favorite concubine so that the King of Qin would repent.

But after the King of Qin learned that his favorite concubine had been tortured to death, he not only did not restrain himself, but became even more tyrannical and cruel.

Finally, the three old ladies serving in the Prince of Qin's mansion could no longer bear his tyranny and put poison in his favorite "O-fried cherry dish".

The King of Qin died.

Shen Yuyao calculated that the news about the death of the King of Qin at the hands of a servant woman should have just reached the palace.

"Father just suffered the pain of losing his son, and in just a few months, he suffered again..." Shen Yuyao sighed, "The guards of the East Factory also reported that the three servants who poisoned the King of Qin seemed to have a close connection with the Lu family of the East Palace."

"Mrs. Lu? The Crown Princess?" Xia Yu asked in surprise, "Could it be that Mrs. Lu suspected that the Crown Prince died at the hands of the King of Qin, so she is taking revenge?"

Shen Yuyao stared into Xia Yu's eyes. He didn't know yet about Lu's absolute forbearance and sinister ruthlessness.

"The prince did not die at the hands of the King of Qin, but was poisoned by Lu over the years." Shen Yuyao finally told Xia Yu the truth about the real cause of the prince's death and Lu's methods and strategies.

"How... is this possible?" Xia Yu was horrified. He still had some doubts. "She is already the Crown Princess and will be the mother of the country in the near future. How could it be..."

Xia Yu racked his brains to figure out why a woman who was about to become the queen would take such a risky move!

Originally Shen Yuyao had been thinking hard but to no avail. Now, looking at Xia Yu, she suddenly thought of someone in her mind.

Ling Xiangxiang!

An idea suddenly occurred to her, "I may know the reason."

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

"Where are you going?" Xia Yu was about to pull her to ask clearly.

Shen Yuyao turned around and said, "Go find Xu Yunxuan."

"Didn't you just come out of Zuixianlou?" Xia Yu was a little confused, but still let go of Shen Yuyao.

Through the gap in the carriage curtain, he saw Shen Yuyao return to Zuixianlou. In less than half an hour, she got back on the carriage.

"Do you know the reason?" Xia Yu asked.

"Yes." Shen Yuyao finally showed some relief on her face, "Fortunately you reminded me of Ling Xiangxiang."

Xia Yu blushed all of a sudden, "Why do you think of her again? I have nothing to do with her anymore."

"How come there is no relationship?" Shen Yuyao had a mischievous smile on her face, "Someone and Lu are just like you and Ling Xiangxiang."

Shen Yuyao remembered asking Xu Yunxuan whether there were any special records about the Lu family in the book.

Xu Yunxuan said that the current King of Jin is Lu's white moonlight!

If Lu's father had not been trying to marry a rich and powerful man, he would not have married Lu to the prince as a concubine.

Originally, she could have become the principal wife of Prince Jin.

When Lu was a young girl, the Emperor of Daxia wanted to arrange marriages for his princes with women from the Lu family in order to win over the Lu family, a century-old family.

Originally, she was to be married to Prince Jin as his principal wife, because Prince Jin and Lu had long been in love with each other, and Prince Jin also asked the emperor to grant the marriage.

However, Lu's father believed that only the prince's lineage could bring true glory to the Lu family, so he personally went to ask the emperor to grant the prince a marriage.

In fact, Lu would rather be a concubine.

"You mean that Lu did so much for the sake of my third brother?" Xia Yu was a little unbelievable, "How dare she..."

"Why wouldn't a woman be afraid of anything for love?" Shen Yuyao glanced at Xia Yu.

"This is really beyond my expectations!" Xia Yu said.

"Father will soon issue an edict to confer the title of Crown Prince to Xia Chongwen," Shen Yuyao looked up at Xia Yu, "Does this come as a surprise to you?"
