Chapter 280: A Big Melon That's Not Confusing
It was already late, and Lu Xinran had already prepared to stay overnight at the palace.
But they haven't gotten married yet, and if someone finds out that she's staying overnight in the palace, it will have a significant impact on her and Song Junyan's reputation.
Although she doesn't care about what others think, it doesn't mean she is willing to become the topic of conversation after dinner.
Therefore, it would be best if the truth could be uncovered as soon as possible.
She found a comfortable position, supported her head with one hand, and entered the system with her consciousness to open the emperor's booklet.
With the help of the system, she was able to go back to five years ago.
[The emperor really had a hand in what happened back then. No, I want to take another look at Concubine Hua's booklet.]
From the moment she started eating the melon, her thoughts automatically jumped into Song Junyan's ears.
He imitated Lu Xinran and found a comfortable position for himself on the couch by the window. He leaned his body against the wall and curled up his long legs on one side of the couch.
His arms fell naturally at his sides, and he lowered his eyes and silently waited for the result from Lu Xinran.
[Hua Fei has been fighting with Shu Fei for her whole life. She knows that Song Jun He is the emperor's favorite because of his status as the eldest son. She can't make Song Jun Hua win by ordinary means, so she puts her mind on the Nanzhao Princess. ]
[She originally wanted Song Junhua to marry the Princess of Nanzhao, but the Princess of Nanzhao never liked him.]
[Hey, who does the Nanzhao princess like? ]
Lu Xinran was a little confused when she saw the people here. She had carefully read the booklets of Song Junsheng and Song Junhua before and confirmed that they both had tried hard to win the Princess of Nanzhao.
But the attitude shown by the Princess of Nanzhao was very distant towards both of them.
If it’s not them, it can’t be Song Junhe who has been sent away, right?
Song Jun Hyuk was already married at that time? !
She was confused, and Song Junyan's curiosity was also aroused by her.
[No, I need to look at Lan Jieyu's pamphlet again.]
She always felt that this Lan Jieyu was not as simple as she seemed. If she really didn't have some tricks, she would not be able to successfully raise Song Junsheng with her cannibalistic harem.
【I see! 】
[I was wondering why it looked so weird, and it turns out everyone stepped on it.]
[Lan Jieyu's nephew looked very similar to her. Princess Nanzhao ran into him on the street and fell in love with him almost at first sight.]
[However, the Qu family was not prominent in the capital, and Lan Jieyu was just an ordinary concubine in the palace, with a lower rank and less favor than Hua Fei and Shu Fei.]
[But the Princess of Nanzhao was like a possessed person and would not marry anyone but Qu Xinyuan. She took the initiative to ask Lan Jieyu for help, willing to exchange the formula for her.]
[There is no reason for Concubine Lan to refuse the benefits that are offered to her, and she also doesn't want to see Concubine Hua and Song Junhua gain power. ]
[It's just that this matter involves too many complexities. Although she wants to fight for Song Junsheng, she can see through the emperor's mind more clearly than Concubine Hua and others. ]
[She knew that the emperor was suspicious and would not tolerate the prince's power, and would not tolerate the Nanzhao princess not liking him or his sons, so no matter how tempting this matter was, she could not come up with a feasible solution for the time being.]
[The Princess of Nanzhao fell in love with Qu Yanyuan at first sight and had private meetings with him every day. She didn't want to pay any attention to the princes. After a while, even the emperor discovered something was going on.]
[After the emperor realized Princess Nanzhao's thoughts, he went directly to Concubine Lan's palace.]
[Qu Yanyuan met the Nanzhao princess by chance on the street. It was Lan Jieyu who found out at the palace banquet that the Nanzhao princess liked handsome and elegant men, so she deliberately arranged for her nephew to meet her.]
[She could hide this little trick from others, but not from the emperor.]
[After the emperor reprimanded her, he told her to either persuade the Princess of Nanzhao to enter the palace, or he would execute Qu Yanyuan...]
Lu Xinran saw an old man looking at his phone on the subway. What a mess.
The emperor and the concubines around him really exceeded her understanding time and time again.
After the Great Chu fell into his hands, he had not yet torn it to pieces... How rich must his family fortune have been originally!
Silently, she changed her hand to support her head and continued to work hard.
[Lan Jieyu knew that her plan had been exposed, so she could only send the message out of the palace overnight, but the message happened to be intercepted by Hua Fei's men.]
[Hua Fei took advantage of the situation and sent false news to Princess Nanzhao and Qu Yanyuan, and also tried to make the emperor think that they were going to elope at night. The emperor was furious, and in the chaos, Princess Nanzhao was killed by the long sword.]
[As for Qu Yanyuan... he never thought of marrying the Princess of Nanzhao, nor did he have any romantic feelings for her, so he did not show up that night.]
[Later, a shocking incident occurred in the villa, and the plot seemed confusing. The Nanzhao envoy launched an attack, and the Ministry of Justice, Shuntian Prefecture, and Dali Temple jointly investigated and handled the case, but he escaped a disaster. ]
[He took advantage of the fact that the case had not yet been closed and the Nanzhao people had not yet left the capital, and fled south overnight to avoid the limelight. He returned to the capital two years ago and got married in a low-key manner last year.]
【As for the recipe...】
Lu Xinran frowned. She didn't see any recipe in the booklets of the few people.
Maybe just as the queen said, the recipe never appeared from the beginning to the end.
That was just a cover, a bargaining chip used by the Nanzhao envoys and the Nanzhao princess to negotiate terms with the emperor.
It's not a very confusing story, but it involves the deceased Concubine Hua, which adds a little difficulty.
"Seriously speaking, he died under the calculations of various parties. Perhaps it was the work of the emperor, the concubine Hua, and the envoy of Nanzhao."
Since I didn't bring the recipe with me, it would be hard to explain if the marriage really happened.
Song Junyan opened his eyes, turned his head slightly and nodded at her.
"As long as the formula doesn't fall into the hands of others and become a hidden danger, it's fine."
He had thought of the events of five years ago because he was afraid that the Great Chu would really face internal and external troubles.
He straightened his bent legs, twisted his body, and stood up from the couch.
"It's getting late. I'll take you home first. If there's anything else you want to see, I'll ask Ding San to pick you up tomorrow morning."
The sky was gradually getting dark. If I didn't leave now, I would really be criticized.
Lu Xinran's thoughts were still immersed in what she had just seen. When she heard him say this, she nodded subconsciously.
There are less than three months left. Well, time flies.
After they get married, she will move in, so it won't be so troublesome to eat melons in the future.
"Well, it's better to go early tomorrow. The emperor's pamphlet can only be kept for one day, and time is running out."
Song Junyan raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he was confused, he was smart enough not to ask any more questions. He just raised his hand to point in the direction of the door and walked out of the room.
