Shou an said, “There is a lot of gossip outside. Since Zhou Shihui is not your daughter, how could you bear to let Fu Lu be schemed against and be sent to the border!” Hui Lindi said, “I only found out in Chang ‘an not long ago that Zhou Shihui is the daughter of Qian Yi, the former king of Wu.” The prince consort of Qin looked at Hui Lindi in surprise, “Royal brother, What’s going on? Didn’t Qian Yin mention that he has a niece who is Zhou Shihui? Qian Yin always thought that his niece is Xie Xiangxiang. How could he have another niece?” When the Huilin Emperor heard this, he immediately understood. No Wonder Zhou Qing cared so much about this matter. It turned out that there was such a relationship.. When he heard that the internal servant came to report to the crown prince, he let Lu Chen in and said, “Go to Laojun Mountain and ask Qian Yi to come down.” Lu Chen said, “I accept your order.” The Hui Lin emperor continued, “If he is unwilling to come down, you must also make him come down. This is related to the safety and injustice of Fu Lu.” “Yes.”Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, “Can I bring the Crown Princess Along?” The Huilin Emperor Glared at Lu Chen and said, “Forget it. As long as you can persuade him to come down from Laojun Mountain, I don’t care who you bring with you.” .. Qiao Jinniang heard that they were going to Laojun Mountain, so she looked for winter clothes and overcoats in the alley. Instead of bringing Hong Ling and the other palace maids, she brought glutinous rice with her. Glutinous rice said excitedly, “I heard that it’s snowing on Laojun Mountain. I’ve never climbed such a high mountain before.” Qiao Jinniang saw glutinous Rice’s happy look and asked Lu Chen to go to the carriage at the side. She said to glutinous rice, “Actually, I’m taking you to Laojun Mountain this time to find your father.” Glutinous rice said happily, “Master, you found my biological father so quickly?” Qiao Jinniang slowly told glutinous rice about her background. Glutinous rice listened and said, “Master, have you been fascinated by some novel? How can I be the daughter of the Royal Highness... You Are the daughter of the Marquis, and I still can’t get over it...” Qiao Jinniang lightly knocked on Glutinous Rice’s head. “Even if I’m entranced, I can’t use this kind of thing to coax you. You really are the daughter of the former Wu King. And the person who threw you into the latrine that year was Zhou Qing he!” “Master, don’t say the word latrine. Ever since you found out that I have to bathe twice a day,”glutinous rice said, “I even despise myself.” Qiao Jinniang chuckled. “Silly glutinous rice.” Glutinous rice asked slowly, “Master, are you really mistaken?” “Wait until you meet your biological father, then you will know,”said Qiao Jinniang. The road to Laojun Mountain was very dangerous. Ordinary carriages could not get there, so they could only walk up. Although it was still very hot at the bottom of the mountain, it was snowing when it was almost the peak. The snow hung on the branches at the top of the mountain. The scenery was hazy and beautiful. When they finally reached the peak, they saw the towering Laojun Taoist temple. The incense in the Taoist temple was very strong. After the young Taoist learned of Lu Chen’s identity, he went to report to Qian Yi that the crown prince had come. After a while, the young Taoist came over and said with his Daoist name, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess Consort, my master said that he won’t see any guests for the time being.” Lady Qiao Jin frowned slightly. “His Highness is here. is your Taoist priest not going to see him?” The young Taoist priest nodded and said, “Yes. A few days ago, a king of the Wu Kingdom of Jiangnan came and talked to my master for an hour. After that, my master went into seclusion and no longer saw any guests.” .. In the Zhou Manor. Zhou Siming said anxiously to Zhou Qing, “Aunt, His Majesty is still not willing to let Sisi off lightly. What should we do? There is not much time left before the execution date.” Zhou Qing said, “At the mid-autumn Palace banquet, if Zhou Qingxiu is still not willing to plead on Sisi’s behalf, then I will let Zhou Qingxiu and the crown prince die together with Sisi. It can also be considered to have fulfilled Sisi’s wish.” After all, Zhou Sisi liked Lu Chen so much. Since they could not live together, then they would die together! Zhou siming frowned. He thought that other than relying on Zhou Qing and he, there was probably no other way. Zhou Shihui said to Zhou Qinghe, “Mother, I’m going to the Heavenly Prison to meet Qin Xiangxiang!” Hearing the words Xiangxiang, Zhou Qinghe did not look good. He only said to Zhou shihui, “Go Early and come back early!” In the heavenly prison. Fu Lu was locked up in the prison. It was the best, with a bed carved with jade pillars and a bed made of smoke and cloud gauze. Qiao lui hugged Fu Lu tightly in the prison and said, “Father and I have discussed it. Even if you are sent to the border, I will go to the border to join the army. No matter if I go to Lingnan or the northwest, I will always follow you.” Fu Lu said with tears in his eyes, “Are you stupid? You are the Crown Prince of Xiang Hua, marquis an Yuan, and the younger brother of the Crown Princess. If you follow me to the border, your whole life will be ruined.” Qiao lui said, “I am not stupid. Our ancestors led the army at the border. I also went to the border when I was young. How could my life be ruined?” “Our marriage has been decided. No matter where we go, I will follow you!” Fu Lu’s tears kept falling. “No, you can’t follow me to the border. Take good care of my parents for me.” “Your mother is the eldest princess, and your father is the prince consort. You Don’t need me to take care of you, but you are different.” Zhou Shihui walked out of the prison and heard Qiao Lui and Fu Lu’s words. She clenched her hands and walked to the prison door. She said to Qiao Lui, “Qiao Lui, Fu Lu will only drag you down and your Qiao Manor Down. I’m sure the Crown Princess will not let you marry Fu Lu.” Qiao lui released Fu Lu slightly and said to Zhou shihui in disgust, “Sister and I are not afraid that Fu Lu will drag us down. You still don’t understand. Whether I want to marry Fu Lu has nothing to do with whether she is the princess or Not!” Zhou shihui frowned and said, “Qiao Lui, do you really have to be so stupid? Do you know that I am the Emperor’s biological daughter? If you marry me, the power of Marquis an Yuan’s estate will be monstrous. If you marry Fu Lu, it will drag you down!” Fu Lu spat, “Pui, how can you be uncle’s biological daughter?” “Moreover, if you are really uncle’s biological daughter, then Qiao Lui can’t marry you even more. You probably don’t know that the Princess’s prince consort must only have an idle position and not a title, right?” Qiao lui said to Fu Lu, “Ignore her. There are only a few days left before you leave Luoyang. Why don’t we bring forward the wedding date? At least we can let our relatives and friends witness our happiness.” Fu Lu said, “Are you stupid? Marrying me into the family at this time is letting your Qiao family suffer the jealousy and hatred of all the scholars in the world. It will implicate your marquis an Yuan Manor!” Qiao lui said with a serious expression, “I’m not afraid. The Qiao family will not be afraid. The Qiao family has always kept their word. The marriage has been arranged. We are a family! “Wait for me in prison. I’ll go and ask my father to arrange the marriage. “Also, write a letter to my mother and ask my mother and grandmother to come to Luoyang. However, we are in a hurry. I’m afraid the wedding ceremony will not be complete. Sorry to trouble you.” Fu Lu stepped on Qiao Lui’s forehead and kissed it gently. “I’m not sorry.” Zhou Shihui saw the intimacy between the two of them as if no one was around, and the anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger! Why did Qiao Lui still choose Fu Lu Now? She was just a commoner who was about to be sent to the border. In the future, she wouldn’t even be able to carry her shoes. Zhou Shihui really couldn’t understand how she was worse than Fu Lu. During the mid-autumn Festival, her mother would publicly announce that her aunt had replaced her mother and become the empress. She would announce that the emperor liked her mother. Therefore, the day when she would officially become a princess was not far away! When her identity was announced to the world, she wanted to see how regretful the Qiao family would be. She wanted to see if the Qiao family would resent Qiao Jinniang for forcing Qiao Lui to marry a woman who was spurned by the scholars of Qingming Academy.
