Chapter 222: A bowl of water is never evenly balanced
"Then what do you think we should do? Are we really going to let him enter Beijing?"
This is too risky!
Who knows whether the King of Huainan really did it for his son or had other purposes.
By that time, everyone will be in Shengjing, and it will be impossible to prevent it. If something goes wrong, who will take the responsibility? !
The Minister of War and Prime Minister Qin stopped talking. They could only express their opinions. As for what decision to make, that was something for the Emperor to consider.
You must not go beyond the rules in everything, otherwise, you will have to take the blame!
Because of this incident, the emperor had a headache and couldn't even sleep well. And the instigator was not much better off, because Prince Shun's Mansion received a secret order from the emperor, asking them to do whatever it took to make the King of Huainan calm down!
"Isn't he just a poor prince? Is there any need to make such a fuss?"
Princess Shun couldn't understand. The Prince of Huainan was 180,000 miles away from Shengjing.
Even if his son's legs were broken, so what?
The prince in their family is the emperor's younger brother. Although the Prince of Huainan is also a prince, can their relationship be so close?
If there had been, he would not have been exiled to such a distant fiefdom.
Prince Shun was also surprised. "My royal brother Shanglai doesn't care about the Prince of Huainan. He bullied him in the past, but I never heard him ask anyone to apologize to him. This time, it's really strange."
"Yeah, it's really surprising that our son is going to apologize to that cowardly prince. It's really embarrassing to hear that!"
Prince Shun's wife's face was full of disgust. So what if Prince Huainan had made many military achievements?
In her eyes, he was just a peasant working hard on the battlefield. How could he compare to Prince Shun who was respected and raised in Shengjing City?
Apologizing is considered a compliment to me because we are both princes.
They were even asked to find a way to calm the King of Huainan down?
gas?
What kind of anger is this? King Huainan, how dare you be angry with them?!
"Since my brother has spoken, then we should do as he says. You are such a fool. I told you that the court has been restless recently and I asked you to control your family members. How could you cause such a thing?"
Prince Shun couldn't help but complain in his tone. At this moment, Prince Huainan absolutely could not move.
Even he could understand this truth, let alone others!
Unfortunately, the princess in his family is such a fool!
The son he gave birth to was good-looking but not smart, and he had to rush to this time to cause trouble for him. Prince Shun felt very annoyed, so he simply threw the matter to the princess and asked her to find a way to arrange it.
He has more than one son. If all else fails, he can just compensate him to the King of Huainan!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Prince Shun's wife was shouting until her throat was tired, but she couldn't slow down Prince Shun's pace at all.
There was a coldness in her eyes. She heard from her son that he had the opportunity to take Song Huaian away at that time. In this way, no one would know what had happened.
Unexpectedly, he was blocked by Lu Yan from Changning Marquis Mansion!
Changning Marquis Mansion!
It’s the Changning Marquis Mansion again!
Princess Shun felt that she and this marquisate were simply incompatible. Why was it that every time she met them, nothing good happened?
But the status of the Changning Marquisate is no longer the same as before, and she can't even vent her anger on them, so she can only swallow it.
She remembered today's revenge!
When the chance comes, I will pay it back a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times!
At this time, the Changning Marquis Mansion was not as peaceful as imagined.
"Yan'er, you are too impulsive about this matter."
Old Madam Lu called everyone over and, in front of everyone, accused Lu Yan of acting impulsively, only considering his own personal loyalty and not considering the overall interests of the Marquis' Mansion.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. Now that you have intervened, Prince Shun's Mansion will hold a grudge against us. This is not a good thing for the Marquis' Mansion." Old Madam Lu's expression was very cold. If Shen Ruoyan had not been there, her tone would not have been so calm.
Lu Jing was even more direct, "You are in the Imperial Academy, so just study hard! Don't bother with unnecessary trivial matters! You don't care, but we have such a big family in the Marquis' Mansion. Do we have to pay for your willfulness?"
"My Lord, does being brave and righteous mean being willful? Then when you saved the emperor, should you also be considered willful?" Shen Ruoyan sneered, "After all, the Marquis's mansion has such a big family. If something happens to you, wouldn't it be irresponsible to them?"
"Ruoyan, don't argue with me. That's not what I meant!" Lu Jing couldn't help but raise his voice. Is that what he meant? Don't think that you can misinterpret his meaning just because you read more books. He is no longer the same person as before!
Shen Ruoyan ignored him and said, "Since that's not what the Marquis meant, why did you say that about Yan'er?"
When I do it myself, it is a righteous act. But when it comes to my son, it becomes meddling!
It's nothing more than saving the emperor and getting rewarded, while saving Song Huaian and getting into trouble!
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Madam Lu sighed and said earnestly, "Ruoyan, Ajing is also worried. If Yan'er offends Prince Shun's Mansion because of this, he is the emperor's brother after all, and we are not the kind of people who can afford to offend him."
Shen Ruoyan looked at Madam Lu in confusion and really wanted to ask, was she treating her like a fool?
"Then why do you want to take the risk of offending Prince Shun's Mansion and bring Lu Ankang back home?" Shen Ruoyan asked sarcastically.
On the left, I said I didn't dare, and on the right, I said I shouldn't do it, but in fact, I did all the things that I really shouldn't do!
"Yan'er just invited a doctor for the Prince of Huainan because he saw injustice. It's far worse than what Lu Ankang did in the past! Since you are so afraid of offending Prince Shun's Mansion, you might as well not bring him back, so that you don't have to worry about it every day and have no peace!"
Lu Jing was anxious, "These are two different things!"
Shen Ruoyan refused to give in. "In my mind, this is one thing. Or, in the eyes of the Marquis, are there two Prince Shun's Palaces in Shengjing City?"
One dares to offend and the other doesn't. Tell it to others and ask if they will believe it?
I’m afraid I can’t even fool myself!
"This..." Lu Jing couldn't argue with Shen Ruoyan, so he could only turn around and look at Old Madam Lu.
Madam Lu knew that once Lu Ankang was involved, they would be blamed. So, she could only smile and say, "Forget it, since it has already been done, there is no point in pursuing it. We are only saying this in the hope that Yan'er can act more steadily in the future and consider the Marquis' Mansion more."
Shen Ruoyan found it ridiculous that after saying these words, Madam Lu didn't even blush or get angry. She was really thick-skinned!
She wanted to continue the debate, but Lu Yan gently pulled the corner of her clothes, and then she saw Lu Yan wrote in the book:
"My grandson knows this, and this will not happen again."
