Chapter 126 Lu Jiangnian leaves Beijing to chase his wife

Lu Jiangnian finally stopped talking.

After a long while, he said, "Go back home."

It was impossible for her to return to Nanjiang County for no reason. Perhaps something had happened. It seemed that he had to go and ask his mother.

The next morning, when Wang Min just got up, she heard that Lu Jiangnian was already waiting outside.

"So early?"

My son rarely comes to Wangchun Hall at this time unless something big happens.

Thinking of what Yuan Wanru had told her yesterday, Wang Min hurriedly put on her clothes and walked out the door. In the slightly bright sky, her son stood there tall and slender, looking at her with serious eyes.

The two of them came to the main hall, and Wang Min dismissed the waiters: "But is there any clue about your grandmother's poisoning?"

Yesterday, Madam Lu chased several people out of the house, but the murderer of the poison was not found. Those people were just dishonest people.

Lu Jiangnian was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, this matter is not easy to investigate. Don't worry, mother, I have arranged people to watch in the dark."

Wang Min said "Oh" in disappointment, and then asked: "Then why did you come so early?"

He pursed his lips and asked somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Why did mother agree to let Yuanshi go to Nanjiang County alone?"

Speaking of this, Wang Min snorted at him: "Why are you asking me now? When I asked you to come back yesterday, didn't you say that we should make our own decisions?"

Lu Jiangnian frowned and shouted helplessly, "Mom."

Even at this time, mother still cares about this.

It was obvious that he was a little anxious, so Wang Min didn't keep him in suspense and told him what happened.

She frowned slightly: "Did something happen between you and Wanru?"

Logically, even if Wanru couldn't meet Jiang Nian at that time, she should have left a message for Jiang Nian. Why does it seem like he knew nothing?

After Lu Jiangnian found out the reason, he stood up and was about to leave: "Nothing, I'm going to go on duty."

At this hour, the palace gates haven't even opened yet, why is he in such a hurry? I feel like he's running away in a hurry.

-

Lu Jiangnian didn't go to the palace, he went directly to the East Palace.

The prince had just gotten up, and was very surprised to hear that he had come: "What is he doing here so early in the morning? Please come in."

"Your Highness, I will be away from the capital for a while, so I came here to tell you."

The prince looked at him seriously: "What happened?"

Only at this moment did Lu Jiangnian feel a little embarrassed.

Well, the big thing is, he's going to chase someone.

He said with a stern face, "My wife needs to go back to her hometown for something, so I'll go with her. The round trip will take about a month and a half."

"During this period, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince have been at loggerheads, and the Emperor is also upset. If Your Highness has any plans, please do so in a hidden way and don't let any clues slip."

The two groups were hostile to each other, and they were fighting each other over Chen Zhengquan's matter.

To this day, the case of Chen Zhengquan kidnapping and stealing young children has not been settled, and the emperor is also troubled.

Because of this, the forces of both sides were damaged, and many seemingly insignificant but powerful positions were vacated, and the prince took the opportunity to place people in positions.

The prince nodded: "I know my limits in this matter."

"Some of these positions should be left for others. It would be too eye-catching if all of them were taken."

This was also what Lu Jiangnian meant. He was worried that the prince had not thought of this, so he reminded him specifically.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

The emperor is not a foolish man. If the prince's people take over all these vacancies, will the emperor suspect that the conflict between the third prince and the fifth prince was instigated by the prince?

The emperor's heart must be guarded against.

"Well, your highness is wise."

The prince disagreed and said, "Didn't the emperor ask you to select capable guards from the various camps in the capital a while ago and rebuild the guard team?"

"If you leave at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Father."

Lu Jiangnian paused and said calmly: "I have already arranged this matter, Your Highness, don't worry."

The prince looked at him steadily, and Lu Jiangnian remained calm and let him look at him.

"hehe."

The prince suddenly laughed out loud: "After a month and a half, you still can't bear to let go. I didn't expect you to be so clingy."

Lu Jiangnian finally felt a little embarrassed.

He said with a straight face, "My wife went back this time to relocate the graves of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. She is their only bloodline, and as their son-in-law, I should come forward."

He refused to admit that he was clingy.

The prince laughed loudly: "Quibbling, I don't know you yet."

"Alright, go quickly and come back soon. I will take care of your father."

Lu Jiangnian stood up and said calmly, "No need. I will go to the palace and explain the situation to the emperor. He will approve it."

The prince was stunned. He wanted him to avoid suspicion.

I feel a little warm and a little bitter in my heart.

The father and son in the royal family can never be open to each other, but he accepted Jiang Nian's brotherly love.

"Okay, you can do it yourself."

-

Lu Jiangnian's words in front of the emperor were different again: "Du Yong, a lieutenant general of the Bazhong garrison near Nanjiang County, is a cautious person and good at training soldiers. I want to recommend him to be the left junior minister of the imperial guards."

The Emperor was very dissatisfied with the incompetence of the Left Shaoqing of the Imperial Guards and discussed with Lu Jiangnian the need to find a suitable person to take up this position.

The emperor still remembered this man: "But was it Du Yong who killed a Mohe general in the Northern Frontier Campaign a few years ago?"

"Your Majesty is wise, this is the man."

Du Yong was indeed capable, but he came from a humble background and had an upright character. He was promoted to a general because of his contribution, but after being transferred to another place, he has not been able to make any further progress.

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "This person is suitable."

"My wife needs to go back to Nanjiang County to worship her ancestors in the near future. Why don't I go with her to investigate Du Yong's achievements in recent years and then report to the emperor for a decision."

"You are just like your father, always thinking about official business. I am very pleased to have loyal ministers like you and your son."

"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law only have your wife as their child. As a half-son, you should be filial to her. Official business is important, but personal matters should also be taken seriously. Accompany your wife to pay respects to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Lu Jiangnian bowed to express his gratitude, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes the moment he lowered his head.

If it were just a private matter, I'm afraid the emperor would not agree.

After everything was arranged, it was already the end of the afternoon.

Around the autumnal equinox, it gets dark earlier than before. Lu Jiangnian didn't hesitate at all: "Leave the city."

Xuan Qing knew that the Crown Prince would not allow his wife to go to Nanjiang County alone, and it turned out to be just as he expected.

"Give me the money."

Xuanying took out a five-liang silver ingot and said, "The prince must have revealed the news to you last night, and you deliberately made a bet with me. I shouldn't have been fooled by you."

Xuan Qing patted his chest and said without any guilt: "How could the prince say this to me? I have already said that you are not as good as me in understanding the prince's thoughts, and you still don't accept it."

"Now, I'm convinced."

Xuan Ying gritted his teeth in anger, looking like a smug villain. Next time when they practiced together, he should let Xuan Qing know that his money was not that easy to earn.

In terms of kung fu, Xuan Qing is not even half as good as him, and there will always be a time to defeat him.

On the other side, Yuan Wanru didn't know that Lu Jiangnian had already set out to find her.

Today they met some unexpected people. Now the two groups were traveling together. There were dozens of people in total, and it was very lively.
