Lü Ping did not hold back in the slightest as she rejected Lu Song and the Ge Clan. The anger in her heart had already reached its peak when Lu Song and his wife suggested that she go seduce the Sixth Prince; however, she did not know how to vent it.
In the afternoon of Summer, there was a sudden clap of thunder; however, it did not rain. The air pressure was so low that it was difficult to breathe. Lü Ping stood up and pointed at Lu Song and the Ge Clan, saying: "If you do this, there will come a day when the heavens will strike you with lightning. Think about the people that died in the Lu Family! Whether it's Lu Yao, Lu Yan, or even Lu Cuo, if it wasn't for you being blinded by greed, how could they have lost their lives at such a young age? Don't put the blame on your children. Only when their parents don't do this can their children grow up in a healthy environment. They won't lose their minds because of you and be unable to distinguish right from wrong! "
She was practically shouting these words. She then turned and ran. Braving the thunder, she gritted her teeth and ran out of the manor, heading into the streets.
The Ge Clan became anxious and wanted to chase after her. As a result, just as they stepped out of the parlor, they saw a bolt of lightning flash above their heads. Immediately following this, there was another clap of thunder. It was right above their heads, causing them to immediately remember what Lü Ping had said. If you do this, there will come a day when the heavens will strike you with lightning! The Ge Clan immediately stopped in their tracks. Their bodies trembled violently, and they no longer dared to chase after her.
Lu Song was also furious. He did not care about the things on the table and swept them all to the ground, loudly saying: "There's no need to chase after her! I just want to see what abilities she has and where she can run to! If she has the ability, she can run away and don't come back. As long as she comes back, even if I have to tie her up, I will tie her to the Sixth Prince's bed! She can't have that face for nothing! She can't have that face for nothing! "
Lu Song angrily roared, as if he had gone crazy. At this time, Lü Ping ran into the main street. She didn't care which direction she was going in and just kept running. Even the servant girl who came out with her lost track of her. When he finally stopped, he was so tired that his lungs were about to explode. He didn't have the ability to run another step, so he could only lean against a big tree on the side of the street and rest for a while.
This was the first time Lü Ping had 'run away from home'. Although she knew that she would not be able to run out of the capital and that she would have to return to that mansion in the end, Lü Ping, who had not been on the streets for a long time, felt that this kind of experience was extremely rare. To be able to breathe the air of the streets was a kind of luxury for her.
She raised her head and looked around. She did not know where she had run to. There were quite a lot of shops, but because of the sudden thunder in the sky, people thought that it was going to rain soon, so there were not many pedestrians. Only one or two of them were hurrying home with their heads lowered.
She saw an embroidery shop not far in front of her. There were people going in and out of it. Thus she took a few steps forward. Only then did she recognize that it was the shop opened by the Feng family's third young miss, Feng Xiang Rong. There were quite a few madams and young misses coming out of the shop. The shop's female clerks welcomed them and sent them off. They even handed out oil paper umbrellas to the people that did not have carriages to sit in.
At this time, two young misses came over with their own maidservants. Lü Ping subconsciously hid behind a tree and lowered her head. She did not want to attract too much attention. It was also at this time that she heard the two young misses chatting. One of them said: "The Feng family's third young miss really has a good life. The Feng family has fallen to such a state, yet she was not affected in the slightest. This business is getting bigger and bigger. Not only does it exist in the capital, it even exists in Ji 'an Prefecture."
"That's right! I heard that her concubine mother moved with her to Ji 'an Prefecture. After Feng Jin Yuan died, that concubine mother regained her freedom and became a noble madam in Ji' an Prefecture! But we can't be envious. Who told her to have such a good elder sister? With Royal Consort Yu's protection, even if she wanted to live a bad life, it would not be easy. "
"But they are both younger sisters, yet the Feng family's fourth young miss is much worse. I heard that she does not interact with Royal Consort Yu at all, and their relationship is not good."
"So what? She has the fifth prince protecting her, so her days are not too bad. But I still envy the third young miss, especially the fact that she was able to settle down in Ji 'an Prefecture. Apparently, Ji' an Prefecture is a very special place. The rules there are completely different from the other prefectures in Dashun. It's very fair and very free. It's like a new world. Everyone yearns for it. "
When the two spoke of Ji 'an Prefecture, Lü Ping could see the envy on her face. When the two gradually walked away, she recalled the things she had just heard about Ji' an Prefecture. She also yearned for it. But what was the point of yearning for it? As the daughter of the Lu Family, would the Lu Family allow her to live in another place? She did not have freedom in her life. Running out like this was just to get some fresh air. Sooner or later, she would have to go back. She could not escape the grasp of the Lu Family. She could not escape in this lifetime.
Inside Crystal courtyard, Fendai hit Xiao Bao once again. The child cried loudly, but he did not run away. He continued to hold onto the corner of Fendai's clothes and stared at her. Fendai did not have the heart to land the final slap. Looking at the child, she asked in confusion: "I hit you like this, why don't you run? Why don't you avoid me when you see me? "As she spoke, she rolled up the child's sleeve. There was a bruise on his arm from being pinched by her.
"You are my elder sister." Xiao Bao was not very fluent when speaking. He could only speak very briefly every time, but he could express his meaning clearly. He held onto the corner of Fendai's clothes tightly and said: "Don't throw Xiao Bao away."
Fendai's tears immediately flowed out. Her nose was so sore that she could not control it. She hugged the child in her embrace. Tears flowed down her face, causing Xiao Bao to also cry.
Dong Ying stood to the side and did not stop them. She wanted to let Feng Fendai find some conscience and build some feelings with Xiao Bao. She must not be unhappy because Xiao Bao looked more and more like Feng Jinyuan. Seeing the brother and sister hug each other and cry, she was happy. She knew that the Fifth Prince felt that Feng Fendai's conscience had not disappeared because Xiao Bao was still here. She did not know when it started, but Feng Fendai and the Fifth Prince had to rely on this child to maintain their relationship?
Finally, the two grew tired from crying. Xiao Bao fell asleep. Dong Ying handed the child to a servant to bring back to his room. Only then did she go forward to help Fendai wipe her tears. While wiping, she chatted with her: "Young Miss, have you heard? Princess Wu Yang is going to get married. It will be at the end of this month. "
Feng Fendai nodded. She had heard about this. She was marrying the ruler of Gu Shu. Although the place was a little far, it sounded pretty good. "Dashun has taken over quite a number of cities in Gu Shu. The Yao family has people there. Thinking about it, they will take care of her. With her temper … … "She thought of Xuan Tiange who was often with Feng Yu Heng and smiled bitterly," She should not be at a disadvantage. Dong Ying, say, these days really pass quickly! Back then, we were all young ladies! In the blink of an eye, all of them are going to get married. "
Dong Ying smiled and said: "Young Miss, don't be anxious. When next year comes, it will be your turn. Young Miss should also think about your own matters. It's time to prepare your wedding clothes. "
"Wedding clothes?" Thinking again, oh, she was going to be of marriageable age next year. How could she have forgotten about this? When she was young, how much did she hope to get married! To be able to leave that Feng manor and marry into a good family with power and influence. To be able to support her ambitions. To be able to let her return to Feng manor again and receive looks of envy and respect, to be able to have those people in Feng manor kneel in front of her and sing praises. But now, she did not have such thoughts. Even if she was going to become a prince's official wife, there was no place for her to show off. The Feng family was gone. Who would care about her? "There's no rush for wedding clothes." She said, "Before I get married, just buy a set from a ready-made clothing store. I don't care."
She really did not care. It was as if everything had lost its joy. With Emperor Tianwu delegating power and with the Sixth Prince regenting the country, her ambitions in the past gradually calmed down. Although she still felt unreconciled, she knew that she was powerless. In addition, after seeing the princes fight for power, she finally realized that her power was too weak. The Eighth Prince still needed his Imperial Concubine Mother's help. She had already helped him to that extent, but he still did not succeed. What ability did she have to be more powerful than that mother and daughter?
It turned out that she had thought of everything too simply. The throne was higher than the heavens. Even if she stood on her tiptoes or stepped on a chair, she still could not reach it.
In the Imperial Palace, it was really calm in the near future. Everyone went to see the miserable state of the Eighth Prince and Liu Shi. They also knew what the end of Liu Shi was. Now, they were all well-behaved. One by one, they stayed in their own chambers. They did not dare to show their heads outside.
Jingtsu Temple was also quiet for a period of time. Other than talking to Emperor Tianwu every day, the Empress sat in the Imperial Palace and waited for Sun Qi to come. She was not afraid of the other party coming to find her now. She was looking forward to the other party coming to find her quickly. She wanted to pull out that thread. After imprisoning her for so many years, it was time to be frank and honest.
But that Sun Qi did not come again. Everything was very calm. It was so calm that the Empress suddenly felt as if she had been abandoned. She had a feeling that Duanmu Anguo seemed to have found a better way. And this chess piece of her, before she could be used, she had already become a useless piece.
She asked Fang Yi: "This One has already sat on the position of Empress. Which other chess piece of theirs can be better than This One?"
Fang Yi knew what she meant by this, but she was also shocked. If the person that Duanmu Anguo planted in the Imperial Palace was more capable than the Empress, then what kind of person was that!
The two of them looked at each other. They were both shocked. The Empress thought of many possibilities. She even thought of Zhang Yuan, but she still shook her head. "He will not send his son out. The ones he sent out are all daughters. He has too many daughters. Even if This One is one of them, I don't know who else is This One's biological sister. Fang Yi, don't you think that This One is too conspiratorial? Thinking about it this way, I feel that the Imperial Palace is too unsafe. Even if the Eighth Prince and Liu Shi are removed, danger is everywhere. "
"Your Highness, don't think too much." Fang Yi advised: "Maybe there is trouble on that side and they can't take care of us for a while. What will come will come in the end. We just have to wait. "
"I can't not think too much!" The Empress let out a long sigh, "Fang Yi, do you know what This One is thinking? This One is thinking, if This One becomes a useless chess piece, then Duanmu Anguo will definitely obtain a more powerful chess piece. And in this Empress seat, the chess piece that is more advantageous than This One, guess, who is it? "
Fang Yi was stunned. More advantageous? Who else could it be? Thinking deeper, she could not help but let out an "ah" sound. Then she said: "Your Highness means … … Noble Lady Li? Now that the Sixth Prince is regent, Noble Lady Li is the birth mother of the Sixth Prince. If it is her, then it really is … … no, no! "Fang Yi shook her head," If it is really Noble Lady Li, it is impossible for the Emperor to not notice. We thought that we hid it well all these years, but we did not know that the Emperor already knew. If that Noble Lady Li is really it, no matter what, the Sixth Prince will not be able to sit on the position of regent. "
"That's right!" The Empress sighed. Nothing could be hidden from the Emperor. He looked muddle-headed, but in his heart, he was clearer than anyone else.
Finally, it was the end of June. It was the day of Princess Wuyang Xuan Tiange's wedding … …
