The Survival Path of a Vicious Female Partner

"Miss Lu is in the capital. How can you know Young Master Zhou who has just arrived in the capital? Why do you know that he is not someone the king knows."

She turned to look at him, and she asked, "Zhou Chu, do you know the Fourth Prince?"

He answered very naturally, "Yes."

She almost choked on her own saliva, "Know?"

"The four famous four princes, people with a little bit of knowledge are all acquainted."

This is pretty much the same, that is to say, he and the fourth prince don't know each other at all. He was the person she brought, and she would naturally not let her people be bullied. He was responsible for the hands, and she was responsible for the speeches. They have a clear division of labor. However, judging from the current situation, such occasions are not suitable for hands-on, Lu Manman said. : "Four princes, he is not the one you know."

"Eh? Since I don't know him, then this prince has admitted wrong. However, all of us here, except for Zhou Zi, are all showing their true colors. This Zhou Zi is not sure what is going on, so he has to wear a mask. It's really suspicious."

When Chu Li said this, someone agreed: "Yeah! The capital is not peaceful recently. Young Master Zhou is wearing a half-mask, which makes people wonder."

She hadn’t seen him since she saw him. In the open-air bath, he covered his face with his hands, and afterwards, he wore a half mask again, even though she was curious. , What did he look like, but since he chose to wear a mask and chose not to show it to her, there was a reason not to show it to her. Maybe that part of his face was damaged, or maybe he had something unspeakable. Zhou Chu, a man who unexpectedly came to her, was a character who had never appeared in the original work, and he was a mystery to her. But she believed him, he would not harm her, and when she saw him on the street in the capital, she had a natural sense of dependence.

Lu Manman raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Li. She said, "Four princes, if you say so, Man Man would have thought of the guard black eagle next to the fourth prince. That black eagle has always been wearing an iron mask. With an innocent life experience, he took off his mask."

Chu Li didn't get angry and laughed, "Ms. Lu is really now and then. This prince still remembers the last time Princess Yue wanted to take off the mask of the black eagle. Miss Lu also helped out, so why did she come personally this time? Removed the mask of the Black Hawk?"

"Four princes, Man Man doesn't really want to take off the mask of the black eagle. He just wants to tell the four princes that an ordinary mask in our eyes may be crucial to the person who wears it. Important. Everyone has secrets that they don’t want others to know, so please don’t make things difficult for the four princes."

When Lu Youran heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed, "My sister is very good to several maids. I must be like this to her friends, but my sister has not thought about it. At this time, it is in troubled times. Some gangster spotted his sister's kindness and ignorance, took the opportunity to get close to her sister, and then used her sister to achieve his goal. Sister should know that in this way, not only the sister, but also the whole Lu Mansion will suffer in the end."

Lu Youran, there are things about her everywhere, and she said in a displeased voice: "Thank you for my sister's concern. If my sister really considers Lu Mansion, then Manman will thank her sister instead of Lu Mansion and father and mother."

Lu Manman's tone of speech completely missed what a member of the family said to an outsider.

However, she found it strange that they had abandoned such a big setback this time and came to deal with Li Zhao. With a few words from Chu Li, they seemed to lead Zhou Chu.

When she saw Zhou Chu, it was exactly like a little chicken who had just cracked his shell and met a mother chicken. She had a fascinating trust in him and a fascinating dependence on him. She almost wanted to believe every word he said, but Chu Li has been watching him since he entered this hall. At first she thought Chu Li was watching her, until Chu Li talked about him just now. When she was wearing the mask, she realized that Chu Li was looking at him.

She used to think he was the man Li Zhao liked, but she hadn't thought about his true identity. Now it seems that his identity is not simple.

Lu Youran covered her face with her sleeves, and her little **** sobbed: "Sister, why do you talk about me like this. You Ran is really thinking about Lu Fu and her sister."

She had long been disgusted with Lu Youran's hypocritical expression, and she was shocked by eating a few grapes. Another reported, "His Royal Highness is here."

The grape in Lu Manman's hand has not been put in her mouth. She thought to herself that there are so many people here today, and even Chu Ran who has been out of the East Palace has also arrived. Presumably, this banquet is after Li Zhao’s celebration in the capital. , The most luxurious banquet. She looked at the expressions of Chu Huai and Chu Li from the corner of her eyes. Judging from Chu Huai's expression, he did not invite Chu Ran, nor did she expect Chu Ran to come, and Chu Li's expression made her unable to see through. .

But Chu Li is an old fox, he should have guessed something too.

Chu Ran pushed the wheelchair forward slowly by Caihe. Before that, she had a very good impression of Chu Ran. She felt that Chu Ran was a clear stream in the dirty palace, but since the last incident, She felt that Chu Ran was not what she believed she believed. Chu Ran's ability to sit as a prince was definitely not from the sympathy and guilt of the sage. There is also the court lady Cai Nv next to him, he seems to know those things about Cai Nv, but he always pretends that he doesn't know anything, and also gives people a kind of illusion, that is, he likes Cai He a bit.

But she knew that Chu Ran didn't like to pick lotus. What is he doing this for?

Chu Ran said: "Second brother, why didn't you inform me of such an interesting banquet. I was bored in the deep palace all day, but it was very boring. I wanted to come out and walk away."

Chu Huai got up to greet him. He took the place of Caihe and pushed Chu Ran to the position of the master. Then he said: "Brother, you also know that the emperor treats you like a rare treasure. How dare we easily treat you like a rare treasure? Please come, if you knock you, the servants holding Chuhuai Prince's Mansion will suffer."

Chu Ran said, "The second brother said so, am I here to harm the second brother today?"

Chu Huai waved his hand again and again, "Don't dare, don't dare, the eldest brother can come, the second brother is very happy."

"That's good, it didn't disturb your Yaxing, right?"

Everyone said: "No, no, it is my honor to see the prince."

"That's good." Chu Ran said, then looked at Lu Manman, and he said, "Miss Lu, we meet again."

"Lu Manman sees His Royal Highness."

"No need to be polite, I haven't seen you for a long time, my fifth brother often thinks of you."

"Manman thanks the fifth prince for his thoughts."

"Didn’t the emperor tell you to enter the palace more to accompany Yue'er? There are some palace ladies and eunuchs beside Yue'er. Normally but not good."

"In response to His Royal Highness, Man Man is also a savage and willful lord. He is afraid that Man Man will teach the princess. Not only will he not teach the princess well, he is afraid that when we meet, we will tear down the roof of the palace."

When Lu Manman said this, Chu Ran laughed, "Lu Manman, only you dare to talk like that. After you had a fight with Yue'er last time, Yue'er was quite sensible."

Everyone looked at each other. Princess Yue is a grinning little ancestor. She was beaten by the thin and small Miss Lu in front of her. It seems that Miss Lu really dare not underestimate it!

Chu Ran, he seemed to be talking to Lu Manman, but in fact, his eyes, if there was no ground, fell on Chu Qing who was standing behind her, but his movements were very careful, I was afraid that even Chu Li could not be sure. Is he really looking at Chu Qing.

Chu Ran's arrival also made Chu Li unable to understand whether Chu Ran came to protect Li Zhao or was it because of the identity of the person behind Lu Manman?

But if the person behind Lu Manman is really him, then why did he choose to stay in the capital in this way? This way is the most dangerous and the easiest way for people to discover.

Chu Li was confused, and Chu Ran spoke again, "Lu Manman, I have only been so many years old, and I really rarely go out of the palace. The fifth brother said that you know a lot. He told me that if I go out of the palace, let me I must come to you. I finally got out of the palace this time, and I have to go to your Mingyue Xuan to sit in later."

The prince Chu Ran personally said that he would go to her Mingyuexuan to sit in, can she say no?

She can only say: "Yes, His Royal Highness."

As for the mask issue discussed just now, due to Chu Ran’s arrival, Chu Li never mentioned it, and for the game just now, it was really hurtful, so it’s not over. The next game will be poetry. , Very boring, Lu Manman silently ate the fruit for an hour, and then waited for the banquet to disperse.

In the end, most of the brothers and brothers who came and drank down, and the banquet was declared over. This banquet was originally a banquet to test whether Li Zhao had amnesia, but because of Chu Ran’s arrival, the banquet was lost. Its meaning, but it's not completely unrewarded, such as the man behind Lu Manman.

Caihe pushed the wheelchair and walked out of the Chuhuai Palace with Lu Manman and the others.

There was Chu Ran’s sedan chair outside. His sedan chair was different from the usual sedan chair. It was able to push the wheelchair directly up. She was sitting in the carriage, wondering why Chu Ran suddenly wanted to sit in her Mingyuexuan. , Who is Chu Ran? He is one of the cores of instability within the West Chu Kingdom. Everyone wants him to have an accident, and if something happens to him in the Lu Mansion, he can kill two birds with one stone.

She sighed in her heart, the last time the storm of the five princes had just passed, and now another prince came here. It seems that her physique is really a physique that has caused trouble, and wherever she goes, the trouble will follow.

The two carriages had just arrived at the Lu Mansion, and Lu Xiaoran was waiting at the door carrying Li and a group of guards. Chu Ran was pushed out of the sedan chair by the lotus. Lu Xiaoran and the others saluted: "Your Royal Highness is welcome."

"Lu Xiang, don't be polite."

Lu Manman also came out of the carriage at this time. She saw that Lu Xiaoran had added a lot of manpower inside and outside the Lu Mansion. It seemed that Lu Xiaoran also knew what Chu Ran came to Lu Manman. Lu Xiaoran said to Lu Manman, "Manman, wait. In a moment, you have to entertain your Royal Highness well, and don't offend His Royal Highness, you know?"

"Yes, my father."

How dare she offend Chu Ran, she would offer Chu Ran like an ancestor, burn incense and worship Buddha, begging him to leave quickly.

The group followed Chu Ran to Mingyuexuan, and Chu Ran said to them: "Xiang Lu, you have a lot of work to do, so don't stay with me anymore, just leave!"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Chu Ran said to Caihe again: "Caihe, I heard that Mrs. Li personally picked some new tea some time ago, and only came back today. You ask Mrs. Li about the roasting method of new tea, and we will also pick tea by ourselves in the future. Making tea."

"Yes." After Caihe responded, she retreated with Lu Xiaoran and the others. At this time, Lu Manman, Chu Qing, and Chu Ran were left. She also consciously assumed the role of Caihe, pushing him. wheelchair.

Chu Ran said: "Lu Manman, you Mingyuexuan smells like medicine."

"Yes! I'm just a medicine jar."

"This is similar to me." He looked around again, "This Mingyue Xuan is not small, but there are no people in it. It's like my East Palace. We don't dare to use it for people who don't trust."

"His Royal Highness, you came to Mingyue Xuan, didn't you want to tell me about this?"

"Of course not, I did have a very important thing here."

"His Royal Highness, please tell me, if Manman can do it, he will definitely be able to do that thing quickly, and he will also let His Highness go back sooner."

"That's how you want me to go?"

"Man Man just thinks that if the Prince spends more time outside the palace, it will be more dangerous. It is still safer in the palace."

"Then guess, how many people will want to kill me?"

Lu Manman didn't expect that he would ask so bluntly, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Chu Ran said again: "Then guess again, will there be my brother among those who want to kill me?"

Lu Manman's heart trembled. It seemed Chu Ran that he knew everything, so she had to say, "Manman doesn't know."

"Lu Manman, you are very clever. You don’t know. If you don’t know anything, don’t be anxious to send me away. But this time the fifth brother said many times, your Mingyuexuan has a flower hall, and there is a flower hall in the flower hall. The orchid bloomed just right. He asked you for the orchid last time, but unexpectedly there was an accident. Since then, he has never mentioned the matter again."

While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at Mingyuexuan's flower hall. Although the orchid was somewhat damaged in the last accident, it was restored to normal after Qingzi's care. She didn't expect Chu Ran to risk her life, only for a pot of orchids.

Lu Manman took out the orchid that Chu Ran had said, "The orchid that the five princes liked last time is this one. I will pick up the orchid and let the prince take it back."

"Lu Manman, I also came here somehow, are you not even going to give me a sip of tea?"

Qingzi and Cuiqing are both injured, and they are no longer here, she said: "Zhou Chu, you accompany your Royal Highness here first, I will make a pot of tea."

"good."

As soon as Lu Manman left, Chu Ran looked at him, and Chu Qing also knew that Chu Ran was definitely not a person who would be in danger for a pot of orchids. His trip distracted everyone around him. It must be for him. If he knows his identity, does the father also know his identity?

Chu Ran pushed the wheelchair to him. He said, "Young Master Zhou, do you want to hear a story?"

"Anyway, it's boring. If His Royal Highness has this Yaxing, Cao Min can listen to it."

"Let me tell you a story about family disputes. There is a wealthy businessman. He is wealthy and wealthy. He has seven children, five boys and two girls. These seven children are not exactly the same as their mothers. , So they have participated in many open and secret fights since they were young, and some even became victims of the struggle. Once, the eldest child inside was poisoned and almost lost his life. The rich businessman was furious, so he sent the poisonous snack to the child. His mother was locked up and expelled the child from the house. But the rich businessman knew that it was not the child who had poisoned the child. The child was innocent. But the rich businessman had nothing to do. The child’s mother was not strong, and the child He is also talented and intelligent, and has already become a thorn in the eyes of others. The rich businessman has already had a child killed, and he cannot let his other child be killed, so the rich businessman chooses to expel his child from the house in order to obtain protection for him. child."

Although Chu Qing's face didn't change much, in fact, his heart was already turbulent. When Chu Ran said this to him, he clearly knew his identity.

He continued: "As a wealthy businessman grows older, he misses his child more and more. He knows every success of that child and is also happy for that child. He also knows what the child is waiting for. Let the child come back because he wants that child to fill up his wings and protect himself before returning. Although he is a rich businessman, he has no way to stare at his child all the time, let alone guarantee his own. The child is not harmed in any way, son Zhou, do you think this rich businessman is doing the right thing? If you were that child, would you understand this rich businessman?"

"His Royal Highness, before answering this question, I want to ask two questions."

"Young Master Zhou, please speak."

"That child used to use someone else's identity to meet the wealthy businessman. Did he recognize his child?"

"I recognized it, so that night, the wealthy businessman kept the child in his dormitory. He just said a few words to him, then took out the food and let him rest before eating."

"The second question, that rich businessman, does he need help from that child now?"

"need."

After that, there was a long silence. The two were clearly looking at each other, but neither of them could understand what was in each other's eyes. No one broke the silence beforehand until Lu Manman came in with tea.

Lu Manman poured tea for Chu Ran, and she said: "His Royal Highness, you should drink tea and go back to the palace sooner. I will hand this orchid to Sister Caihe later and let her take it into the palace."

Chu Ran touched the cup with the cup and saucer. He blew the tea, and then he took a sip, and said, "Ms. Lu's tea art is really average. I have come to ask for this orchid. Don’t stay longer."

He put down the tea cup, turned the wheelchair by himself, and headed out of the flower hall.

But his speed was not fast. He was still waiting for Chu Qing's answer. Finally, Chu Qing stepped forward, he held his wheelchair, and said: "His Royal Highness, it is not very safe to go here. His Royal Highness sent him into the palace."

There was a slight smile on Chu Ran's face, so that was the best answer he had given him. He said, "Then there is son Lao Zhou."
