Chapter 85: Conspiracy
Xie Lingxiao was quick-witted and pulled Shen Jingxuan behind him. The blood spurted out by the Queen Mother splashed on Xie Lingxiao's robe in an instant.
He looked down, turned around and saw that Shen Jingxuan was clean, then he let out a breath.
Xie Lingxiao looked at the Queen Mother: "Why are you vomiting blood?"
"It will be fine once the blood is spit out. Let someone clean it up." Shen Jingxuan's steps were unsteady and her body was swaying.
Xie Lingxiao noticed that something was wrong with her and hurriedly went forward to pick her up.
"Ah..." Shen Jingxuan cried out in fear when her body was suddenly picked up.
When she turned around and saw Xie Lingxiao's nervous expression, she immediately stopped talking.
"I'll carry you over to rest for a while." Xie Lingxiao explained to her unnaturally, with a slight blush behind his ears.
After he put Shen Jingxuan down, he went out and told the maid to come in and serve the empress dowager.
Shen Jingxuan asked the nanny to feed the empress dowager medicine, and told her to give the remaining herbs to the empress dowager for bathing. After everything was explained clearly, she left the palace with Xie Lingxiao.
Along the way, the two of them were silent, and Xie Lingxiao gave up the urge to speak several times.
The carriage first escorted Shen Jingxuan back to the mansion, then turned and headed towards the Regent's Palace.
At noon, Lu Jinxuan was driven out of the palace. She had no place to vent her anger, so she wandered on the street.
She saw Shen Jinghuan walking out of the jewelry store from afar and followed her.
"Cousin, cousin, wait for me." Lu Jinxuan shouted from behind.
Shen Jinghuan heard someone calling, but she didn't think it was her, so she continued walking forward.
She and her maid came to a teahouse, booked a private room, and rested there.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the maid opened it: "Miss, did you go to the wrong room?"
Lu Jinxuan said impatiently: "I'm looking for my cousin's wife."
"But, but the person you are looking for is not here."
The maid had never seen Lu Jinxuan before and didn't know her identity, so she blocked the door and refused to move.
Lu Jinxuan angrily pushed the maid aside and walked in: "Cousin, why didn't you wait for me? I chased you all the way."
He was already full of anger with nowhere to vent, and after chasing Shen Jinghuan for so long, he became even angrier.
Shen Jinghuan pursed her lips: "Miss Lu, I didn't know you were behind me."
"It's okay, cousin, why did you choose the private room in this location?" Seeing that Shen Jinghuan didn't seem to be pretending, Lu Jinxuan didn't want to make a fuss and just chatted casually.
Shen Jing laughed: "Look at what's across the way? It's the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Jinxuan asked puzzledly: "What happened to Qianyu Chamber of Commerce?"
Shen Jinghuan walked to the window and held the window frame with both hands: "Do you know who the owner of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce is?"
"It was Shen Jingxuan and a man. The man was very kind to Shen Jingxuan and even gave her half of such a large Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Jinxuan was already full of anger in the palace, and after hearing what Shen Jinghuan said, she became even angrier.
Shen Jingxuan, you are eating from your bowl while still thinking about what's in other people's pots. You are so hateful.
"Do you know who that man is?" Lu Jinxuan asked.
Seeing her anxious look, Shen Jinghuan raised her eyebrows and said, "I know, but I've been here every day recently and I haven't seen him show up."
"Miss Lu, there is one more thing, do you know?"
Lu Jinxuan looked at Shen Jinghuan: "Cousin, just tell me straight, I haven't been out of the house recently, so I don't know a lot of things."
"Do you know this private room?"
Seeing her bewildered look, Shen Jinghuan laughed out loud: "The regent you like always chooses this room every time he comes."
Lu Jinxuan stood up suddenly. She was so smart, how could she not understand what Shen Jinghuan meant.
You choose this place every time you come? Doesn't that mean you're here to see Shen Jingxuan?
She had never seen such a shameless woman. She already had someone else, but she still seduced the Regent.
No, I must think of a way. Even if she doesn't die, I have to skin her alive.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinxuan laughed: "My cousin told me this, there must be a purpose, right?"
Shen Jinghuan didn't shy away: "Of course, we two have a common enemy, do you want to take revenge together?"
Lu Jinxuan looked in the direction of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce: "Since we have a common enemy, why not join forces?"
Shen Jinghuan raised the corners of her lips: "Miss Lu is really straightforward."
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that the two of them have joined forces, I wonder what Shen Jingxuan will think if she knows.
The two of them sat in the teahouse for the entire afternoon, and only left one after another when it was getting dark.
Shen Jinghuan looked at Lu Jinxuan walking away and sneered, hoping that Lu Jinxuan would not let her down.
Shen Jingxuan, don't think that you can rest easy just by kicking us out of the house. This time, let's see how you can deal with it.
No wonder you gave the prince to me. You knew he was not a good man but didn't tell her. You let her marry him and be like a widow.
At this moment, Shen Jinghuan had completely forgotten that it was she who shamelessly competed with Shen Jingxuan.
Even if she was to be a widow, she was the one who wanted to be a widow, and it had nothing to do with Shen Jingxuan.
The sun sets and the sky is filled with rosy clouds.
After Lu Jinxuan discussed the plan with Shen Jinghuan, she felt like a huge rock had fallen from her heart, and she walked back home with brisk steps.
After she entered the room, the maid closed the door for her and quietly ran in another direction.
After dinner, Lu Jinxuan packed up and went to bed early. Perhaps she had resolved the issues that were weighing on her mind, and she fell into a deep sleep not long after lying down.
I don't know how long she slept, her breathing gradually became difficult, and there was a pair of large hands on her body, moving up and down continuously.
Lu Jinxuan opened her eyes with all her strength. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she couldn't help but tremble all over: "Brother, brother..."
"Awake? Tell your brother where you went today?" Lu Zhenyu asked without stopping.
"Hmm..." Lu Jinxuan couldn't help but moan.
She panted and said, "Go, go see your aunt."
She couldn't tell him about her meeting with the Regent, otherwise she would be even more miserable.
Lu Zhenyu exerted a little force on his hands: "Who else did you meet?"
Don't tell the truth? By integrating his intention in this way, he can get more.
"Ah..." Lu Jinxuan couldn't help but scream.
She panicked and said, "Brother, I was wrong. It was my aunt and I who saw the Regent."
Lu Zhenyu was so angry that he laughed: "Oh, sister, you really don't have a long memory. Are you ready to bear your brother's anger?"
Lu Zhenyu didn't expect that Lu Jinxuan would anger him again. Wasn't it enough for him to like her? Why was she always thinking about the Regent?
"Please forgive me, brother, please forgive me." She was so scared that her cries got louder and louder.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have acted on impulse today and forgotten that her brother would be angry and also forgot his warning.
Thinking of what her brother had done to her, she was horrified: "Brother, brother, please let me go. I will never see the Regent again."
In order to stop Lu Zhenyu, Lu Jinxuan would rather say that she would not meet the Regent. She kept begging for mercy, hoping that Lu Zhenyu would let her go.
But Lu Zhenyu was angry, so how could he let her go just because she begged for mercy?
Lu Zhenyu leaned close to her ear and said, "Shh, there are maids outside. Aren't you afraid of being found out? Huh?"
Lu Jinxuan bit her lower lip tightly and swallowed the sound back into her stomach.
Seeing her wanting to scream but not daring to, Lu Zhenyu became more and more excited.
Outside, the waning moon obscured the gentle breeze, but inside the house there were sounds of excited gasps, suppressed screams of pain, and unbearable whispers.
And the person who was suffering from all this once again imposed his hatred on Shen Jingxuan.
