Chapter 714 Xia's Visit
She wondered, if Concubine Li had an affair with another man, did Luo Junhe know about it?
She heard that Concubine Li was not kind to Luo Junhe and even wanted to kill him at one point.
This is very unreasonable according to normal logic.
After all, no biological mother would do such a cruel thing to her own son.
Unless, Luo Junhe is not the biological son of Concubine Li and the current emperor.
He was deceived by Concubine Li!
This is also the reason why Concubine Li cannot tolerate Luo Junhe.
Thinking of this, Xia Chuhe couldn't help but murmured: "Luzhu, what do you think of the Night King and the Night Princess?"
She wanted to take a gamble and see if Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were worthy of her trust.
If Luo Junhe is really not Concubine Li's son, and Concubine Li has concealed it from Luo Junhe for so long.
Then, after Luo Junhe knew the truth, he would definitely hate Concubine Li in his heart.
How could the man who had an affair with Concubine Li hide it?
Xia Chuhe knew that it was impossible to get revenge on her own, and she had to find her own allies.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Ji Nanchuan is no longer reliable.
Maybe, she can get Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe to join.
Then he would seek revenge on Concubine Li and King Nan Xiao, and both sides would win.
But this has both advantages and disadvantages.
The benefit is that it can allow Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang to discover the truth of that year and they will no longer be kept in the dark by Concubine Li.
The downside is that Xia Chuhe was just guessing and was not sure whether Luo Junhe was Concubine Li’s biological son.
After all, such a thing requires blood test to verify.
If Concubine Li was really so bold as to replace Luo Junhe with her own son, then who was his biological mother?
Xia Chuhe didn't dare to think about it.
She knew very well that once she said this, it would lead to a royal scandal.
In particular, she had to tell Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe that the other party's mother was having an affair with another man and that he was most likely not their biological son.
This is a big blow to anyone.
Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe didn't know her and were very likely to not trust her.
Xia Chuhe might even lose his life because of this.
Her death would be a minor matter, but it would also affect other people around her.
Especially since she hadn't seen her enemy die yet. If she died first, wouldn't that be a loss?
This is also the reason why Xia Chuhe felt so conflicted.
Luzhu didn't know what Xia Chuhe was thinking. After hearing the other party's question, she said:
"Madam, the Night King is the God of War of the East Chen Kingdom. He has been on the battlefield since he was twelve years old. The people of the East Chen Kingdom all worship him. He must be a good man."
"As for Princess Ye, let alone her. I heard that Princess Ye is a very skilled doctor who has cured many of the people in the capital city of their difficult and complicated illnesses, and she didn't charge them for anything."
"So, this Princess Ye must be a good person too."
Xia Chuhe pursed her lips and silently clenched the handkerchief with her fingertips.
Luzhu's words made her feel more at peace in her heart.
During this period, although Xia Chuhe was close to Ji Nanchuan, she also asked about Ji Yuntang's news.
She has been observing and studying Ji Yuntang for half a month.
The other person has a clear distinction between love and hate and is kind-hearted, which is very much to her liking.
Many things can be pretended, but one's conscience cannot be pretended.
She gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind.
"Lulu, please send a visiting card to the Night King and the Night Queen for me. Tell them that I want to see them tomorrow morning."
Luzhu nodded and immediately responded: "Yes, I obey your command."
The next morning, at the Night Palace.
Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe had just stood up when they saw An Qi hurriedly walking in with a letter in his hand.
"My Lord and Princess, a lady named Xia has sent you a visiting card."
Ji Yuntang was confused, as she didn't know any Madam Xia.
She looked at Luo Junhe, and Luo Junhe also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know any Madam Xia either.
Ji Yuntang didn't hesitate. She took the visiting card from An Qi, opened it, and was stunned.
"Xia Chuhe...I seem to have heard this name somewhere before."
There was nothing special written on the visiting card, it just said that the other party had heard of them for a long time and wanted to meet them and get to know them.
Luo Junhe took a glance and then looked away.
"Ah Tang, since this person is someone neither you nor I know, just return the visiting card to someone else."
As a prince, he knew very well that at least nine out of ten visiting cards like this would be sent to the palace every day.
Many of them are ordinary businessmen who want to get to know and make friends with him.
Luo Junhe doesn't have the time in one day to meet each of them.
Normally, when he received such a visiting card, he would ask the guards to return it.
This time, he thought it was another boring visiting card, so he asked An Qi to return it.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yuntang turned the visiting card around his fingertips twice and said, "Ah He, we have nothing to do today anyway, why don't we meet this Madam Xia?"
Ji Yuntang didn’t know what she was thinking. She always felt that the other person’s name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
But for a moment, I couldn't remember it.
Seeing that his little princess said so, Luo Junhe naturally would not read her letter.
He looked at Ji Yuntang lovingly and said to An Qi: "Then let this Madam Xia come to the Night Palace."
When Xia Chuhe learned that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were willing to see her, she was excited.
But at the same time, there was a hint of nervousness.
She asked Luzhu, "We are going to visit the Night King's Mansion. What gift should we give?"
In Xia Chuhe's opinion, Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe are not like Ji Nanchuan. They have seen all kinds of good things and will definitely not covet her money.
But if you show up empty-handed, it would seem like you are insincere.
Luzhu thought for a while and then said, "Madam's calligraphy and embroidery are both very good. Why not give Princess Ye an embroidery and His Royal Highness Ye Wang a calligraphy and painting?"
Back then, Xia Chuhe made his fortune by relying on these two things and supported scholars to pass the imperial examinations.
Xia Chuhe thought about it and felt that what Luzhu said made sense, so she went to the room in person, opened the box where she collected calligraphy and paintings, picked out a painting of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and gave it to Luo Junhe.
In addition, she also selected a Suzhou embroidery of flowers and the moon to give to Ji Yuntang.
After packing everything, Xia Chuhe set off for the Night King's Palace in a carriage.
An Qi personally welcomed her in. After arriving at the front hall, he saw Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe practicing chess in the yard.
One of them holds the white pieces, and the other holds the black pieces. They chase each other and neither of them gives in.
After seeing it, Xia Chuhe just wanted to applaud.
