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?

Lin Shu's reputation was not good, and his reputation was also bad.

Coincidentally, if Lin Shu married to him, she would be under her nose the entire time. That way, wouldn't Young Madam Zhang be at ease?

He felt that Young Madam Zhang would definitely agree to this plan. After all, during this period of time, no matter whether it was her grandmother or father, they had all been pressing down on her marriage.

Thinking about it, Lu Jingran only said a few words to Piao Xu.

Immediately, Piao Xu's expression changed greatly, "Great sir, how can we do this? Why did you marry a girl like that? Forget about whether or not this person is a Fourth Miss of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, you should not even marry her, you should marry someone even better … "

She knew what kind of status she had. No matter how bad Lu Jingran's reputation was, she was just a servant, how could she be worthy of the master of the National Duke Ning Palace?

As long as she could look at him like that from a distance.

But even if he were to look from afar, she would not allow Lu Jingran to live a bad life.

Lu Jingran said softly, "You just need to follow my instructions. For this period of time, start from Nanny Ren, and then, tell him what to say in front of him. It will naturally be settled when the time comes."

Master's orders were commands!

Piao Xu understood this logic, and left with red eyes.

On the second day, when Nanny Ren scolded Maid with a bitter face, Piao Xu pulled him to the side and the two talked for a long while. In the end, Nanny Ren's expression became clear.

She patted Piao Xu's shoulders and said, "There really is you. The empress and madam had thought about this matter for quite a few days but didn't have the slightest idea what to do with him, even though you managed to get along with him. We never thought that she would be so close to us … If Madam finds out about this, I will definitely reward you well. "

With that, she walked into the main house.

She had finished dressing up, and was still planning to make a trip to the palace. Now that the Imperial Consort Li and Seventh Prince seemed to already know something, they had to think of a countermeasure, if they really let the Imperial Consort Li make use of this loophole, that would really be bad …

Just as she was lost in thought, a Maid accidentally tore off two of her hair.

Without even thinking about it, she waved her hand fiercely, knocking Maid's head to the side. He didn't even dare to cry, and his white face immediately swelled up.

The felt unsatisfied and ordered loudly: "Drag her away and such a person will still be by my side? You guys go to Steward Nanny and inform them that if you send such a tied up person in the future, I will sell her off too! "

Nanny Ren walked in amidst the panic, but her steps did not stop as she whispered a few words into the ears of National Duke Ning's wife.

Instantly, his face turned from gloomy to clear, and he said in a low voice, "Aiya, why didn't I think of that? "No way, I have to go to the palace right away, it's a really good idea!" This was truly one stone and two birds with one bird, solving her desperate situation.

Empress Zhang heard about it, where did he not agree? Since the Eighth Prince was so stubborn, he had seen it for himself, and now there was nothing he could do.

Taking a step back, even if Eighth Prince and Lin Shu's marriage was settled, if Eighth Prince liked Lin Shu, would she be able to tie up his own hands and feet?

Furthermore, Lin Shu had married into the National Duke Ning Palace, with her own sister watching over him, there was nothing to worry about. At that time, if she were to keep an eye on the Eighth Prince, he would have forgotten about everything else.

Empress Zhang did as he was told, immediately heading to the Imperial Study room, if there was food to eat and words of praise, the Emperor had not seen Empress Zhang look so soft in a long time, he immediately forgot about anything after saying a few good words, and only said that he would personally give Lu Jingran and Lin Shu a marriage.

That was settled.

By the time the Imperial Consort Li found out what had happened, she was already half a step too late to the royal study. By then, even her intestines would have turned green, what could she do? Since the Emperor has already promised the Empress Zhang, and the Emperor has not lied, how can the Emperor go back on his words?

This time, it was Empress Zhang who won!

Little did he know that Lu Jingran was the biggest winner after the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole.

The Emperor didn't just bestow the marriage on others just because he was bestowed one. He had to choose a good day, but Lin Shu, who stayed in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, was still anxious and uneasy. There hadn't been a single bit of news from the palace these few days, and there were no movements from the Empress Zhang s as well … [This is abnormal!]

Even if she sent Yun Dou to search around the vicinity of Third Prince's Mansion, there was no news of her at all.
