Chapter 1863 My face will rot
The door was pushed open.
A person quickly slipped inside and then immediately closed the door.
He turned around, expecting to see the bride with a red veil, but instead met a pair of shocked eyes.
In full makeup, Qiu Yunzhen lost some of her girlish innocence and appeared exceptionally radiant.
Two years ago, Lu Anfan also met Qiu Yunzhen, and he suddenly realized that Qiu Yunzhen had changed a lot in a short period of time.
When she first arrived in the capital, she was a loud and boisterous daughter of a military family, somewhat arrogant, a bit reckless, and even sounded a little foolish.
At that time, Lu Anfan also had a very bad impression of Qiu Yunzhen.
Moreover, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen and his eldest sister do not get along, while Qiu Yunzhen treats Miss Shen as a good sister. Therefore, they can be said to be from two different camps.
But now, seeing Qiu Yunzhen standing in front of him in a wedding dress, Lu Anfan almost didn't recognize her.
The arrogance in her eyes and the haughty yet naive expression on her face that she used to have are gone.
She stood there, looking at him with a mixture of surprise and delight, even a hint of affection and grievance.
Hmm, Lu Anfan felt something was off.
"I'm sorry, Miss Qiu, I shouldn't have come in," Lu Anfan's ears turned a little red. It was wrong of him to barge into someone's new house like this. "Don't be angry, I'll just say a few words, give you some things, and then I'll leave."
"My older sister asked me to bring it," he quickly added.
You mean the Princess Consort of Jin?
“Yes,” Lu Anfan added, “I only have one older sister.”
He was afraid that Qiu Yunzhen would misunderstand and think he had come to the Second Prince to see Lu Zhaoyun.
In fact, he never even considered going to see Lu Zhaoyun. He had no connection with the rest of the Lu family anymore.
"Where is Princess Jin now?" Qiu Yunzhen rushed to him in surprise and grabbed his arm. "Does she still remember what she promised me?"
She thought that Lu Zhaoling didn't care about her anymore!
Lu Anfan instinctively spoke up for Lu Zhaoling, "My older sister never forgets what she promised; she's a person of her word."
He looked at Qiu Yunzhen with a hint of resentment in his eyes, as if he was angry that she had doubted Lu Zhaoling.
"I know, I didn't mean that!" Qiu Yunzhen said hurriedly. "I just heard that something seemed to have happened to Prince Jin, and our marriage was suddenly brought forward. I'm afraid that Princess Jin didn't expect it at all and won't be able to take care of me."
God knows how panicked, how helpless and alone she felt when she found out she was getting married soon.
Who would have thought that Consort Shu would suddenly bring forward their marriage so far?
If no one takes care of her, she will have to rely on Lu Rubao to keep the Second Prince occupied.
Upon seeing Lu Anfan and hearing that Lu Zhaoling had summoned him, Qiu Yunzhen burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" Lu Anfan was at a loss when he saw her suddenly start crying.
"My brother-in-law should be fine, but my older sister is too busy to take care of you right now, so she sent me over."
Lu Anfan looked down at her hand. Why was she still holding onto his hand?
He wanted to pull his arm away, but then he felt sorry for Qiu Yunzhen, who was crying so pitifully.
Thinking of the Qiu family and General Qiu, Lu Anfan sighed inwardly. Well, none of the Qiu family members are here. Miss Qiu is quite pitiful too.
"My older sister found me two days before she left."
Lu Anfan lowered his voice and said, "My eldest sister said that there are some unusual developments in the capital, especially among the royal family. If something happens, you and the Second Prince are considered to be on the same side, so she has to make preparations for what she promised you."
Lu Anfan paused for a moment, then took out a brocade pouch and handed it to Qiu Yunzhen.
"This was given to you by my older sister. She said there are three talismans inside. If you want to get sick, use the first talisman to dissolve in water and drink it."
"The next day, find another opportunity to burn the second talisman and sprinkle the ashes in places where the Second Prince will pass by, so that he will step on some of the ashes. That way, the Second Prince will feel extremely disgusted whenever he sees you."
"My elder sister said that if you had brought up divorce back then, others might have disagreed, but the Second Prince would definitely have. However, you need to think carefully before using this talisman, because after all, you married into the royal family, and if you leave, you'll still be carrying this identity..."
Lu Anfan carefully relayed to Qiu Yunzhen what Lu Zhaoling had told him.
He hadn't expected that Qiu Yunzhen had actually considered divorcing the Second Prince.
And they're willing to use this method.
My older sister said that after drinking the first talisman, her face would become very ugly and even rot.
Although the third talisman could cure her rotten face, her older sister said that the third talisman could not be used until she successfully left the Second Prince's residence.
Therefore, the longer it takes her to leave the Second Prince's residence, the longer her face will remain in disrepair.
This is such an unacceptable thing for a young woman.
What if the Second Prince refuses to release them?
What if, although he loathes her, he doesn't want to let go of General Qiu as his backer?
Lu Anfan was quite worried about Qiu Yunzhen.
But once Qiu Yunzhen got the item, her heart immediately settled down.
She clutched the thing tightly, laughing and crying at the same time.
"That's wonderful! Your Highness is so kind; you really haven't forgotten what you promised me."
After saying that, she immediately turned around to get a water glass, took out the first talisman, put it into the glass, and poured in some water.
"What are you doing?" Lu Anfan was taken aback.
Qiu Yunzhen was also a tiger. When she couldn't find anything to stir, she stretched out her index finger and stirred the cup.
The talisman really did dissolve into the water.
"I'll drink it now!"
After Qiu Yunzhen finished speaking, she picked up her cup and quickly drank it all in one gulp.
*Thud.* She slammed the empty cup back onto the table, then looked at Lu Anfan with sparkling eyes.
Lu Anfan: "..."
No, so fast? Shouldn't it take a few more days? Or some more time?
“I used to think I would wait until after we got married to find the right time, but now I can’t wait. What if,” Qiu Yunzhen lowered her voice, “what if something happens in the palace? I won’t be able to run away even if I want to.”
By then, no one will have the time or inclination to care about her.
So, she couldn't wait any longer.
"But you don't need to wait for the Qiu family to come to the capital. At least then, someone will help you and back you up..."
Lu Anfan was taken aback by her.
Are you so decisive?
"I'm so glad you're here!"
"Wh-what?" Lu Anfan was stunned.
"I've heard that His Highness the Crown Prince values you highly now," Qiu Yunzhen said, looking at him expectantly. "If my family can't get to the capital in time, you'll help me, won't you?"
Before Lu Anfan could speak, she added, "I don't need your help much. Just help me find the Crown Prince when I need it."
