Chapter 136 I Can Be Gentle

Lu Jingyu sighed:

"Father, I know you are worried about my offspring, but Qing Ning and I have only been married for a year, and I know what's going on."

"Besides, I am now working for His Majesty, so I have to be very cautious with the people around me. Who knows if a spy or someone with ulterior motives will come?"

Feng was very dissatisfied after hearing this.

How did the Feng family become people with ulterior motives?

She was about to speak when Lu Changhui glared at her.

Then, Lu Changhui turned to Lu Jingyu and said, "Jingyu, we were not thoughtful enough this time. It won't happen again."

Lu Jingyu: "I hope this is the last time!"

He left after saying this.

Feng was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying with tears in her eyes.

"My Lord, I am doing this for the good of our Duke's Mansion. Why is Jing Yu always prejudiced against me? If he doesn't have many children in the backyard, who will inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future?"

Lu Changhui: "Forget it, Jingyu has always had his own ideas since he was a child. We should not interfere in his affairs."

"Perhaps he will want to take a concubine in the future. Even if Gu Qingning can't give birth to a son and Jing Yu doesn't want to take a concubine, he can still let Hangzhi's son be adopted to inherit the title."

Feng's tears stopped instantly.

"My Lord, are you telling the truth?"

"Um."

Lu Changhui has never been able to take care of his eldest son. Thinking about how his eldest son lost his mother at an early age and now has to support the Duke's Mansion, it must be really hard for him.

Just let him be.

If there is really no son to inherit the family in the future, the family will definitely be adopted.

In terms of closeness, Hangzhi's son is naturally the most suitable.

Feng was so happy that when she fell asleep at night, she was still thinking about taking concubines for her son and giving birth to more sons...

In fact, what she is most dissatisfied with now is the unlucky person Shen Ruoying.

Unfortunately, Hangzhi was so coaxed by her that he was unwilling to divorce her.

Hey? You don’t have to divorce your wife, but you can marry a concubine!

Feng simply didn't want to sleep. She closed her eyes and started thinking about which noble lady would be suitable to marry as Hang's second wife.

When Lu Jingyu returned to the yard, Gu Qingning had just asked Mo Yu to leave.

She asked Mo Yu for a drop of blood and mixed it with her own blood.

As expected, the two are related by blood.

In this world, Mo Yu’s age is there, and he is related to her by blood... Although I don’t know what Mo Yu, who was only one year old at the time, had experienced to escape from that tragedy.

But this child did suffer a lot.

If Lu Jingyu had not happened to pass by that place and saved Mo Yu, the child might not have survived.

So, when Lu Jingyu came back, Gu Qingning looked at him with a gaze as gentle as water.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Lu Jingyu habitually wanted to pull the person into his arms and kiss her all over.

But he was rejected by a pair of small hands pressed against his chest.

Gu Qingning: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't move."

A young master: "I can be gentler."

Gu Qingning insisted: "But it will cause your blood to surge up, which is not conducive to wound healing. Oh, by the way, your wound is too deep, and it is in the abdomen, so you can't take a hot spring bath for the time being."

Lu Jingyu frowned, his face full of depression, "That assassin came at a really bad time!"

Gu Qingning, who was in the darkness, couldn't help laughing after hearing these words.

But she was also curious.

"I really don't know who sent the assassin? Could it be the Sixth Prince?"

"Not the Sixth Prince's man."

The incident with the tiger in the forest was already a test for the Sixth Prince.

After the test results came out, His Majesty decided to let bygones be bygones and instead expressed his intention to re-examine the Sixth Prince seriously.

The Sixth Prince would definitely not continue to take risks at this time.

If one can succeed to the throne in a natural way, no one wants to cause a bloody storm. Even if the final result is the same, everyone wants to be legitimate and leave a good reputation.

Gu Qingning frowned, "If it's not the Sixth Prince, then who could it be?"

Lu Jingyu: "Do you remember that we mentioned last time that Concubine Su has an accomplice?"

"Remember."

"This person should be very powerful in the court, but he is lying dormant for the time being, not showing off his power, but he is also ambitious."

Lu Jingyu looked at Gu Qingning, and she suddenly realized, "Have you guessed who that person is?"

Lu Jingyu: "Maybe it's the Ninth Prince."

Gu Qingning's eyes paused.

When we said before that the Sixth Prince had no chance of becoming Emperor, that was in comparison with the Third Prince.

Compared with the Sixth Prince, it is even less likely that the Ninth Prince will ascend to the throne.

First of all, he is not much younger than Emperor Minghe.

Secondly, he was in very weak health, usually sitting in a wheelchair, and would cough three times after speaking two sentences.

Last but not least, there have always been rumors that the Ninth Prince is not the biological son of the late emperor.

Otherwise, why was the fight for the throne so fierce when Emperor Minghe inherited it, and many princes died?

Only the Ninth Prince survived?

Gu Qingning: "Why do you guess it was the Ninth Prince who did it?"

Lu Jingyu: "At first, I found that the knife skills used by the assassin were the same as those of the person who had plotted against me on the battlefield before."

Gu Qingning sat up.

"Is it the person behind the scenes who wanted you dead last time?"

"Well, I found out about Wei Kang first. Wei Kang became Concubine Su's confidant because of the Lin family incident. But Concubine Su doesn't have anyone with such high martial arts skills under her command, and she probably doesn't have the courage or the means to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason."

Gu Qingning heard about the Lin family again, and deep hatred rolled in her eyes.

Concubine Su, Concubine Su, why did you want to kill the entire Lin family?

Lu Jingyu couldn't see Gu Qingning's expression clearly, but he could feel that her breathing was a little disordered.

She is angry.

Lu Jingyu: "Blame me. Mentioning the Lin family's affairs made you think of that lady again."

Gu Qingning calmed down after hearing his words.

"The evildoer will eventually be brought to justice. By the way, you haven't told me why you guessed it was the Ninth Prince?"

Lu Jingyu: "Let's start with Wei Kang. I didn't know before how Wei Kang could become the Minister of War and the son-in-law of Prime Minister Xu after doing something for Concubine Su."

"Later, Wei Kang was accidentally killed by his wife for no apparent reason because he had a mistress. I asked someone to investigate Wei Kang's mistress, and only then did I discover that she was a prostitute who had caught the eye of the Ninth Prince a long time ago."

"Although Xu was angry that her husband had a mistress, they were married after all. How could she kill her husband in a fit of rage? Not to mention that Wei Kang was a martial artist."

Gu Qingning: "Do you suspect that the thing that harmed you was done by Concubine Su and the Ninth Prince together? Their purpose is the same?"

Lu Jingyu: "Noble Concubine Su attacked me probably for the sake of the Third Prince. As for the Ninth Prince, he was willing to help Noble Concubine Su on the surface, but he probably had his own selfish motives."

Maybe it's because he is a member of the royal family and is too close to that position, so it's inevitable that he will have ambitions!

Gu Qingning was obviously extremely sad and angry, but sleepiness came over her again. She yawned and tears welled up in her eyes.

Gu Qingning was a little confused.

I clearly slept for a long time today, why am I still so sleepy?
