Chapter 187 Jing Yu, I'm Sorry

Gu Qingning was really just being polite.

After all, they are husband and wife, and it is not easy to hide their whereabouts.

The Lin family's affairs have almost been revealed. The person behind the scenes is Concubine Su. Lu Jingyu should not have any other interests.

Who would have thought...

"good."

Lu Jingyu actually agreed immediately, then sat there, squinting his eyes, as if taking a nap.

Gu Qingning had no choice but to say nothing more.

Then Lu Jingyu suddenly spoke again: "I heard that you praised me in public just now?"

Gu Qingning explained, "It was when those people were competing in the ring. Princess Nalan actually asked me who I thought was the best among the four people. Although they were all good, in my heart, my husband was naturally better. In fact, it was true."

Lu Jingyu knew what happened.

He has heard so many words of praise since he was a child.

But I don’t know why, but today I felt that Gu Qingning’s light praise was particularly pleasant.

He hummed and stopped talking.

Gu Qingning thought that he was tired from being busy with work these days, so she simply kept silent.

The carriage arrived at the clinic.

Lu Jingyu got off the carriage first, but did not turn around and leave. Instead, he picked up Gu Qingning and brought her down with both hands.

After Gu Qingning stood firm, she whispered, "I can get down by stepping on the stool."

Lu Jingyu: "I can hold you more steadily. You are pregnant, so you have to be more careful."

Gu Qingning couldn't argue with him, she just felt that this man always liked to show closeness to her in public.

To sum up, maybe she is not as thick-skinned as him.

After Lu Jingyu put the person down, he habitually took her hand and walked inside.

People in the clinic are used to it.

But Bai Lansheng, who had arrived at the clinic earlier and was talking to Wei Shuhe, glanced at the hands holding each other.

His expression remained unchanged.

Bai Lansheng stepped forward and saluted Lu Jingyu, "I greet Young Master Lu."

Lu Jingyu tapped his chin, "Bai Lansheng, right? I heard Qing Ning mention you. You are the nephew of Doctor Bai."

Bai Lansheng also exchanged a few words of greeting.

Then the group went to the flower hall in the back and asked the servants to pour tea. Bai Lansheng found that Lu Jingyu had not left yet?

Gu Qingning took the initiative to say, "Jingyu is just like me. He is concerned about the affairs of Imperial Physician Lin's family, so if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Bai Lansheng immediately understood the meaning of these words.

Lu Jingyu still doesn’t know that Gu Qingning is a member of the Lin family?

He didn't know why, but he felt very happy.

Lu Jingyu was observing Bai Lansheng's expression.

Although the man's expression remained unchanged, his eyes brightened visibly.

A bit annoying.

At the same time, Gu Qingning was observing Lu Jingyu.

She had also concealed some things about the Lin family from Lu Jingyu.

At first I wasn't sure whether to trust it.

Later, the two of them experienced many things together, especially she also knew Lu Jingyu's secret...

I should be sincere, but I haven't found the right time to express my true feelings yet.

Bai Lansheng here has already opened his mouth slowly.

"During this period of time, I have lived in the Ninth Prince's Palace and discovered one thing, that is, almost no one in the entire palace mentioned the late Princess Cen. But it was clearly stated that the prince had not married a principal wife for many years in order to miss the princess."

"The prince also sealed up all of the princess's things and kept them, and often went to the empty room to reminisce."

"I once strayed into it and accidentally saw a letter. I didn't dare take out the letter, but it was written by the Ninth Princess to another person."

Bai Lansheng raised his head, looked at Gu Qingning and said, "It's written for Lin Ming'an."

Gu Qingning stood there motionless, but her eyes suddenly shrank, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something!

Lin Mingan is her father...

More than a decade ago, her father was already in his forties, but the Ninth Princess was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old at that time?

The two people have a big age gap, what could be the reason for writing letters?

Gu Qingning quickly asked: "Do you still remember the contents of the letter?"

Bai Lansheng: "It's full of sadness and worry. At first glance, it doesn't seem to be a violation of the rules, but from the perspective of the Ninth Prince, it's a different story."

"I looked everywhere else, but there's nothing like it, so I can't verify it."

"The truth, I'm afraid only the Ninth Prince himself knows it now."

Bai Lansheng looked at Gu Qingning's gloomy face. He was a little worried, but did not show it.

"Qing Ning, I don't know if this news is useful to you. Don't be too... maybe this matter is nothing."

But Gu Qingning knew that it would be okay.

Bai Lansheng still doesn't know the other half of the information, which is what Concubine Su had done.

Gu Qingning not only knew what Concubine Su had done, but also knew that Concubine Su and the Ninth Prince had colluded with each other a long time ago.

More than ten years ago, if the Lin family accidentally learned about the "Civet Cat Substituted for Prince" incident, and then my father was hated by the Ninth Prince.

Then everything suddenly made sense.

Gu Qingning: "Do you know in which year the Ninth Princess died?"

It was Lu Jingyu who spoke this time.

"In the second year after the Lin family tragedy, in the twelfth year of Mingshun, the Ninth Princess died of depression."

Is it an illness, a mental illness, or both?

unknown.

Gu Qingning sat on the round chair with her eyes half closed, her mind a little confused.

Sometimes I thought about the letter, sometimes I thought about Cen Jue whom I saw on the ring today, and I wondered whether the Cen family knew about it.

After a while, I tried hard to think of my father's face in my memory.

She was precocious and had a good memory when she was five or six years old. She already knew that her father and mother had a very good relationship.

So why did the Ninth Princess...

Several people present could see that Gu Qingning looked uneasy and were very worried.

Bai Lansheng held back.

It was Wei Shuhe who walked up to her and comforted her: "Qing Ning, don't worry, everything is still uncertain now, you can check it again."

"Um."

Lu Jingyu suddenly said, "Let's stop here today, Qing Ning, let's go home."

He held Gu Qingning's hand.

Give her warm support.

Gu Qingning slowly calmed down and looked at Lu Jingyu with gratitude.

You can't lose your composure.

If we follow this clue and find solid evidence, then her enemy will go from one to two.

No matter how many.

They must pay with blood!

Gu Qingning raised her head and said to Bai Lansheng, "Lansheng, whether this matter is helpful to the investigation of the Lin family or not, thank you. Also, you must be careful in the Ninth Prince's mansion. He doesn't trust you."

Bai Lansheng nodded, "I'm fine, I'm just a guest. By the way, some time ago, I was taken to the Third Prince's Mansion to treat the Third Prince's illness..."

Gu Qingning: "Did you cure it?"

Bai Lansheng said awkwardly: "You know, the medical skills I know are just the basics."

"But I didn't let them see it, and I just treated him casually. He was a disabled person anyway, so it was reasonable that I couldn't cure him."

Gu Qingning nodded, "Then Concubine Su is not someone you can easily get along with, so you should be more careful."

Bai Lansheng: "Don't worry about me."

Gu Qingning didn't say anything more and left with Lu Jingyu.

By the time she got on the carriage, Gu Qingning had completely calmed down.

She can't let her emotions fluctuate too much now and must pay attention to the children.

"If they really have a history, we can find some clues if we investigate. Don't worry, I'll have someone investigate right away."

Lu Jingyu suddenly said.

Gu Qingning nodded, and she suddenly wanted to rely on Lu Jingyu.

In fact, she did.

Lu Jingyu paused slightly, then immediately reached out and steady her shoulders.

A hint of tenderness flashed across his usually cold eyes.

Gu Qingning didn't see it. She just lowered her eyes and looked at his fingertips, which were calloused from years of holding weapons.

"Jing Yu, I'm sorry, I hid something from you."

Lu Jingyu's eyes remained unchanged, but his cheek felt a little itchy because of her hair, so he moved a little.

As a result, that jet-black hair is even more itchy.

Come to think of it, the two of them haven't been intimate for a long time.

Gu Qingning, on her side, was thinking about how good Lu Jingyu had been to her since their accidental marriage.

This man looks like a rough and rugged military commander, but he is actually a man of fine mind and intelligence.

And he treated her very well, even trusting her very much, without any reservations.

He even told her his identity as a prince without any hesitation.

When Gu Qingning first got married, she really thought that she would rather be a widow than be a part of the love affair between those two scumbags.

But later, as she spent more and more time with Lu Jingyu, she gradually developed greed.

Lu Jingyu's voice came from above my head.

"What are you hiding from me?"

"The daughter of the Lin family that Wang Weishan mentioned last time, who was sent to the south to recuperate and whose whereabouts are unknown... is me."

Gu Qingning raised her head and Lu Jingyu looked down at her.

Their eyes met, and in their star-like eyes, they saw each other's reflections.

There is sincerity and trust in his eyes.

Gu Qingning felt courageous. She said slowly but firmly, "My surname is Lin, and my given name is Tang."

Lu Jingyu repeated softly: "Lin Tang? Nice."

Gu Qingning was stunned.

That’s it?

"Jing Yu, you're not angry. Am I hiding something from you?"

When she heard Bai Lansheng talk about this just now, she realized that she should be more sincere to Lu Jingyu.

She now felt "greed" and wanted to continue walking with him.

He was kind to her and trusted her, and she treated him with sincerity.

So when I confessed the truth just now, I felt a little nervous, worried that he would be angry if I kept the secret from him.

In the end, they only said her real name was nice?

Looking at her beautiful almond eyes which were slightly surprised, Lu Jingyu leaned over and kissed her eyes.

"When my people went to Jiangnan to capture Wang Weishan, they ran into the people you sent."

"Later, you paid too much attention to the Lin family's affairs, and you cared too much about Mo Yu. And then there was what Wang Weishan said about the girl from the Lin family."

"I guessed your true identity."

In fact, Gu Qingning has always been very careful, but all these evidences were presented directly in front of Lu Jingyu.

When put together, the truth becomes apparent.

Gu Qingning paused, "Then why don't you just ask me..."
