Chapter 405 Trading
The warm atmosphere that was created with great effort turned cold again.
After dinner, Lu Jingxun did not stay long and was about to leave when Lu Xianchun came back.
When Lu Xianchun saw Lu Jingxun, he was stunned at first, then bowed and saluted: "Dad."
Lu Jingxun nodded: "Have you had dinner at the Qin family?"
Lu Xianchun acted as if he didn't hear it and went straight back to his room.
Lu Jingxun frowned and was about to lose his temper when he saw Yu Xiuying's worried face. He changed his mind and realized that Yu Xiuying's family was no longer something he could easily control. So he calmed down.
"I think she looks strange, go and have a look."
Yu Xiuying nodded: "Then I'll go take a look."
After saying this, he left Lu Jingxun alone and went after Lu Xianchun.
Following Lu Xianchun into the house, Yu Xiuying asked with concern: "What's wrong? I see you look so unhappy."
Lu Xianchun felt physically tired, but his heart was even more tired.
"Mom, I want to be alone for a while."
Yu Xiuying wanted to say something but didn’t want to bother her daughter, so she could only look at her worriedly and walked out reluctantly.
At the gate of Anjing City.
In the carriage, Lu Shian and Li Hongting looked at each other. Today, Li Hongting was riding a horse, looking quite heroic.
Shen Teng silently got off the carriage, bowed to Li Hongting, and then walked away quietly.
In fact, Shen Teng sent a letter to Li Hongting on the third day after he left the city. Are you kidding? Lu Shian is the future concubine of the prince. He just ran away with the future concubine alone. Is he going to live?
Lu Shian got off the carriage reluctantly.
Li Hongting sat on his horse and looked at her, then stretched out his hand to her. Lu Shian was a little reluctant, but after some hesitation, he still handed his hand over.
Seeing her stretching out her hand, Li Hongting raised the corner of his mouth with a beautiful arc, and used his hands to pull her into his arms.
The Arabian horse carried the two men all the way to a place where few people had been.
Li Hongting jumped off the horse and helped Lu Shian off the horse.
"After going out for a walk, do you feel better?"
Lu Shian didn't know how to answer and could only remain silent.
Li Hongting turned his head and looked into the distance, while Lu Shian lowered his head.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Finally, Lu Shian couldn't help it: "Did His Royal Highness come here specially to pick me up?"
Li Hongting turned around and saw her: "Are you finally willing to talk to me?"
Lu Shian walked slowly up to him and said, "Prince, can we have a discussion?"
"You said."
"I think you already know why I went to Huainan City this time."
Li Hongting didn't say anything, waiting for Lu Shian to continue.
Lu Shian said: "I can give that gold mine to the court, or I can give it to you!"
Li Hongting raised his eyebrows.
Lu Shian said: "I only ask for one thing."
Li Hongting stared at her without saying anything. Lu Shian mustered up the courage and said, "Your Highness, can you give me my freedom?"
Li Hongting turned his head and looked into the distance. The weather was very good today, with no clouds and no wind.
"How to give you freedom."
"I don't want to be a concubine of the Crown Prince. Please grant my wish, Crown Prince."
Li Hongting narrowed her eyes slightly. If she didn't want to be his woman, then whose woman did she want to be?
Lu Shian shook his head in annoyance: "I'll tell you the truth, Prince. My man and I can only be one-on-one. He is devoted to me and I am devoted to him. I can't accept that my husband has many women. Not even the prince."
Li Hongting turned around and looked at Lu Shian. He didn't quite understand what Lu Shian meant.
"You don't want me to like other women, or you don't want to marry me?"
Uh, Lu Shian is a joke.
This question is not easy to answer.
She pursed her lips and replied, "I don't want my man to like other women."
Li Hongting's expression became relaxed: "So you don't hate me."
Lu Shian forced a smile.
Haha, it would be strange if I didn't hate him. Li Hongting is too sophisticated. He is obviously not even twenty years old, but his deep and sophisticated look always makes Lu Shian dare not act rashly in front of him.
Li Hongting said calmly, "Father has already announced to the world that you are a concubine. This will not be changed. You should know this."
"That's why I came to discuss this business with the prince."
"According to the laws of the Great Abyss Nation, no one can privately develop a gold mine."
What this means is that although the gold mine was discovered in your mountains, it still belongs to the Great Abyss.
"What about Li Hongyu?"
Li Hongting paused and looked up at Lu Shian, not understanding why Lu Shian suddenly mentioned him.
"I know that you, the Crown Prince, are the most popular choice, but... can you guarantee that Li Hongyu will give up?"
"I can help you overthrow Li Hongyu, but the condition is that after you ascend the throne, you allow me to escape."
Li Hongting smiled, that smile was full of contempt: "Li Hongyu, I can handle it myself."
"Really? Is it really possible?"
Lu Shian's hands were sweating under his fox fur coat. It was so exciting to negotiate with such a person. He encouraged himself in his heart, "Come on, Lu Shian. As long as you convince Li Hongting, you will be free from now on."
"Li Hongyu has been in the army for many years. I believe he has accumulated a lot of connections and prestige. Yes, that's right. The emperor has made you the crown prince, but you have to be able to sit still. If you want to take over without damaging the foundation of the Great Abyss Kingdom, you must have a perfect means. Although I don't have much ability, I can be your helper."
"tell me the story."
"Food, I can help you solve the food problem."
Li Hongting smiled: "The seeds I bought from you last year are enough to improve this problem."
"You also said it's an improvement. Don't you want the people of Dayuan to support you and no longer worry about food?"
"If the rice and vegetables consumed in the palace could be mass-produced and grown by every household, what would happen? The people would be able to eat rice instead of watery soups. How would they praise you, the prince?"
Li Hongting stared at Lu Shian for a long time before he smiled: "Okay, I promise you, if you can successfully help me ascend the throne, I will do as you wish."
Lu Shian was stunned, and couldn't believe his ears: "Is what you said true?"
Li Hongting chuckled: "Why don't you trust me?"
"No, no, hehe, hehe... Then let me thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."
Li Hongting reached out to help Lu Shian: "Don't thank me now. It won't be too late to thank me when the day comes."
Lu Shian silently withdrew his arm and became the reserved self he was in front of Li Hongting again.
Li Hongting saw all her little actions and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
Lu Shian smiled: "I am not afraid of you, you are the high and mighty prince, I am just, uh..."
Seeing that she was still racking her brains to think of an excuse, Li Hongting smiled.
"I have had this personality since I was a child. In fact, I am very easy to get along with."
