Chapter 628: Lack of Vision
But to Xiao Tingshan's disappointment, he waited from late at night until dawn, but there was no movement in the palace.
Lou Yulan stayed by his side the whole time and tried to persuade him to rest several times, but she couldn't bear it.
"Don't worry, sir. Perhaps His Majesty hasn't had time to read the memorial yet..."
Lou Yulan didn't know what to say to him, but she felt extremely distressed seeing him so lonely.
Xiao Tingshan smiled self-deprecatingly and patted her hands.
"Thank you for staying with me, otherwise, I don't know how I would have gotten through this."
This one sentence brought Lou Yulan to tears again.
Just then, the sky brightened and Songbai came in from outside: "Sir, Mr. Zhan... is about to leave and asked me to say goodbye to you."
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
Farewell?
Mr. Zhan is the most powerful among his retainers. He has always relied on him. But now, is he leaving too?
"The prince has been so kind to him, how could he do this to kick him when he's down!" Lou Yulan's eyes turned red with anger.
Xiao Tingshan chuckled and said, "Everyone in the world wants something. Although I am the son of Duke Cheng, I have achieved little. Most of those who come to me are after the Third Prince."
However, as the Third Prince, who has countless people seeking refuge with him, how could he be moved by an ordinary person?
These people under him were just running for an opportunity, a chance to stand out, either for fame or for profit.
Perhaps it was because he had been abandoned by Xiao Heyu and hated by His Majesty in these days, and he had no power and his life was in danger, so they naturally had to find another way out.
Lou Yulan gently held Xiao Tingshan's hand and said, "These people are all mediocre. The prince has great talent, but they are blind and will regret it sooner or later."
For the first time, Xiao Tingshan looked at the woman in front of him seriously.
To be honest, Lou Yulan was not a stunning beauty. She was more like a delicate white flower. But this man seemed to have eyes only for him.
Xiao Tingshan slowly raised his hand and stroked Lou Yulan's cheek: "What do you like about me?"
Lou Yulan shook her head and choked up, tears falling from her eyes: "Since I saw you, I have been attracted to you. I don't ask for anything. I will ask for whatever you want."
Xiao Tingshan was moved and couldn't help but pull her into his arms and kiss her.
Lou Yulan exclaimed: "Your injury..."
Xiao Tingshan frowned, his injury was indeed involved, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, but at this moment, he really needed a way to vent.
Otherwise, if he continued to endure and be humble like this, he would not be able to bear it any longer.

When Shen Jingyu heard the news brought by the maid, she sneered.
"The fire broke out so early in the morning, and he really has the leisure time. The current situation is chaotic, and it is a good time to make meritorious deeds. He doesn't know how to seize the opportunity, but only cares about his children's personal love. It's really ridiculous!"
Shen Jing's tone was harsh, and it was hard to tell whether she was resentful towards Lou Yulan, or disgusted with Xiao Tingshan's uselessness.
Zhiqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, if Aunt Lou does this, will she take advantage of you?"
Shen Jingyu subconsciously touched her belly, feeling upset.
After being tortured by the Third Prince's wife, the doctor once said that her body was damaged and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again, but she was unwilling to give up. Later, she saw many fortune-tellers and doctors, and took a lot of tonics and talisman water.
But...can it really work?
Shen Jingyu has been trying her best to ignore the fact that she might not be able to have children and does not believe it.
But now, Lou Yulan has married Song Tingshan. If she really can't have children...
Every time Shen Jingyu thought of this, she felt confused.
She had put in so much thought and effort, but if in the end, she couldn't even have a child of her own, then what was the point of everything she had tried so hard for?
Shen Jingyu shook her head.
No, that quack doctor only said that day that she would have difficulty conceiving and having children, which was not absolute.
Even if she really can't have her own children, as long as she can sit in that position, there will always be countless children waiting for her to choose.
What's more, as long as it can be kept secret, it will be fine.
"How about what I asked you to do?" Shen Jingyu asked.
Zhiqi whispered, "I have been looking for a while, and I have found a few men among the people who look slightly similar to the prince."
"Do it as soon as possible." Shen Jingyu's eyes were cold and hard. Even if she was a bought child, what did it matter? As long as she was raised by herself, she would still be her own child.
Shen Jingyu suppressed the disappointment and reluctance in her heart, knowing that there was no turning back.
"Miss, you...you'd better be nice to the prince. The prince is not successful now. Aunt Lou is gentle and considerate. If she seduces the prince, you will..." Baoqin has always been loyal and couldn't help but give advice.
After destroying her appearance, the young lady was no longer the same as before. It seemed that she no longer had any hope for love between men and women, but instead was obsessed with holding on to power.
But in this world, it is not easy for a woman to hold power. She can only rely on her father, brother and husband.
"I know." Shen Jingyu responded. It was not that she didn't want to coax Song Tingshan, but he was unsuccessful in everything, making her feel like she had energy but nowhere to use it.
Just then, a maid came with a message.
"Madam, the prince is here."
Song Ren pushed the wheelchair in and helped Song Tingshan sit down.
Shen Jingyu couldn't help sneering when she saw him like this, but when she thought of Baoqin's words, she swallowed it back.
"I have something to talk to my wife, you guys go down first."
After Xiao Tingshan dismissed everyone, he looked at Shen Jingyu and said softly: "Jingyu, you and I are husband and wife. Now the court is in chaos, and the Third Prince's party may not fall. If you have anything in your hands, you might as well take this opportunity to follow me..."
"After all, it's easier to add fuel to the fire than to provide timely assistance." Xiao Tingshan spoke tentatively, unable to hold his temper.
He really couldn't understand why His Majesty had no response to the strategy he proposed.
"Husband, do you want me to defect to the Third Prince? Do you think that the Third Prince will tolerate someone who once helped the Eighth Prince? Can I really have a good ending by betraying my old master?" Shen Jingyu asked back.
Xiao Tingshan was silent. Shen Jingyu now could not be viewed by ordinary people at all. He really didn't know how to pry her mouth open.
"I don't want what you have in your hand, but you and I are husband and wife. If you are willing, I want to know what you are holding in your hand." Xiao Tingshan spoke slowly.
In fact, if he had thought about it before, he would not have let Lou Yulan in directly, but should have been gentle and considerate to Shen Jingyu, so that she would trust and rely on him.
But the process was too long and he couldn't wait.
It would be better to take Lou Yulan into the mansion directly and let Shen Jingyu know that without her, she is nothing.
"A man is innocent but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Jingyu, you must understand that what you have in your hand is no secret. The Qin family knows it and Concubine Jing also knows it." Xiao Tingshan persuaded her with emotion and reason.
After making love with Lou Yulan today, he also tried to test Lou Yulan, but she only knew that Old Madam Qin held a shocking secret, but she didn't know what it was.
