C188 (1/2)

These words landed in Piao Xu's ears, but caused her heart to skip a beat. Her voice was low, her appearance was outstanding, such a man didn't even have a head in the palace.

He had been in contact with Ban Xia the most in the past few years, but somehow, he wanted to meet him. When Lu Jingran was not in his residence a while ago, counting the days, it had been almost a full day since she saw him.

Piao Xu lowered her head and said softly, ”Actually, even though Madame has been bringing me to the palace these few days, the Empress didn't even let me in when she was talking to me. She just left me outside the door and brought Nanny Ren in every single time.

Lu Jingran was not here to listen to her bullshit, his expression slowly became impatient.

However, Piao Xu was still immersed in her own words, unable to extricate herself. ”However, I heard Madam and Nanny Ren talking about it, it seems like the Empress decided the marriage a little earlier. She even said that Eighth Prince seemed to be infatuated with some other family's young lady …”

”Which girl are you infatuated with?” Lu Jingran pondered for a moment. In his impression, this cousin had always been calm and steady, and most importantly, Eighth Prince had always treated Empress Zhang's words as if they were imperial orders. Now that Empress Zhang was in such a rush, he guessed that Eighth Prince had truly hardened his heart.

Heh, this is interesting.

”Then do you know who this girl is?” He was not very interested in who this girl was, but he would not let go of even the slightest opportunity to deal with Empress Zhang and Madam National Duke Ning, not to mention that he had a good relationship with them, if he could use this chance to sell a favor to the Eighth Prince, the beauty of adulthood, might not be a bad thing.

Piao Xu turned her head in the distance, ”Then I don't know, but from what my wife's meaning is, that lady's reputation is bad, otherwise the empress would probably follow Eighth Prince's wishes. I heard that the Eighth Prince didn't drink or eat, and didn't even go out the door the whole day, and Eunuch Zha who was by the empress's side didn't even show up a few times. The empress, upon seeing this, couldn't help but go over a few times as well, but the Eighth Prince seemed to have steeled his heart this time, no matter how the empress urged him, the Eighth Prince only said that he wanted to marry that young lady.”

It could be seen that Eighth Prince really liked that girl!

The corner of Lu Jingran's mouth rose into a smile. Eighth Prince being able to go and fight for the people he liked was a good thing, as a person, it was impossible for them to be treated as a puppet for their entire lives. ”Looks like Eighth Prince really likes that lady …”

He decided that he would go to the palace tomorrow to take a look at the Eighth Prince and help a bunch of them.

Piao Xu shook her head, her voice was as soft as winter's snowflakes. ”I heard Madame say that Eighth Prince and that young lady have not met a few times, and that one or two of their meetings was at the Third Prince's Mansion. The Empress means that the young lady must have used some shady method to deceive the Eighth Prince, otherwise, why would the Eighth Prince become like this?”

”Uncle told me to say something so you shouldn't worry about it. If the empress or the empress found out, there wouldn't be any good fruit for you to eat.”

That year, she was also saved by the Mr. Bai and was somehow sent to the side of the National Duke Ning's wife. All these years, she went from being a Maid to slowly crawling to being the National Duke Ning's most beloved maid, and it had taken her nearly ten years.

It had to be said that the Mr. Bai was very skilled in grooming, all of the people he groomed were loyal and devoted.

But in the end, he became a traitor!

Until now, Lu Jingran was still trying to find out who the person behind Mr. Bai was. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find anything.

But now, Lu Jingran was attracted by Piao Xu's words — her reputation was not good, and she had met Eighth Prince a few times within the Third Prince's Mansion. Empress Zhang was extremely displeased … He could faintly guess who that person was.

For a moment, Lu Jingran's face became unsightly, the hand that was supporting the window tightened, and the bamboo window creaked open.

That's right, he should have long thought of the pure nature of Eighth Prince, the people he met in the palace were also those few people.

Eighth Prince suddenly knowing Lin Shu, naturally she would feel a sense of novelty, and over time, she would get to know him and like him.

In fact, wasn't he the same? Unknowingly, she had fallen for Lin Shu.

But he would not allow others to snatch Uncle Lin away, Lin Shu could only be his wife.

All of a sudden, his thoughts raced.

Lu Jingran took a deep breath, and felt the anxiety in his heart subside slightly. He said, ”Empress, does it mean that we should arrange a marriage for that lady as soon as possible?”

He had already understood the personality of the Empress Zhang and his wife over the years.

”Seems so!” Piao Xu nodded her head. Although the National Duke Ning had been hiding it from her for the past few days, she could still hear some clues from her words.

If she was not smart, she wouldn't have been chosen by the Mr. Bai back then.

Lu Jingran nodded his head, a bold thought appearing in his mind. Fine, since Empress Zhang and Young Madam Zhang are also going to help Lin Shu make the marriage, then why can't this person be him?
