Chapter 89 I Never Disliked Her

When Lu Jingyu came in, he got straight to the point and said, "Qing Ning, is the doctor in your clinic sure he can cure Chen Ya?"

It turned out to be serious business.

Gu Qingning said seriously, "I'm not sure, because I haven't told Shu He about Chen Ya's condition. But Shu He's medical skills are very good. She has inherited the true teachings of a miracle doctor. She might have a solution."

Lu Jingyu: "The fire made the Third Prince furious, and he might attack Chen Ya. Your Majesty's imperial guards have been arranged. If the Third Prince attacks, they will directly rescue Chen Ya and then punish the Third Prince."

Gu Qingning understood.

In fact, Emperor Minghe had always given his son a last chance, so he did not act rashly.

The Chen family was a family of meritorious officials of the Great Chu. When Emperor Minghe approved the marriage between the Third Prince and Chen Ya, he was actually, to some extent, also beginning to consider giving him the position of Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that the third prince was so stupid that he dug his own grave.

Lu Jingyu did not reveal too much about what happened in the court to Gu Qingning, but said:

"Can you settle Chen Ya in your clinic first? Don't worry about the safety of the clinic. I will send more people to protect it."

Gu Qingning nodded, "Of course you can."

On the surface, this matter seems to be helping Chen Ya and the Chen family, but in fact, it is actually working for Emperor Minghe!

Gu Qingning would naturally agree.

She thought that she should first leave a good impression with Emperor Minghe, which would also help the Lin family's affairs.

But let me say something ugly in advance:

"I'm not sure if Shu He can cure Chen Ya, but I know she can definitely do her best."

Lu Jingyu: "It's enough for her to do her best."

The important matters have been arranged, and the next step is to wait for the movement from the Third Prince.

In fact, this was also the last chance Emperor Minghe left for the third prince.

If the Third Prince could turn back from his wrong path at this time, perhaps everything would be able to turn around.

But when Gu Qingning thought of the lustful look of the Third Prince, she knew that he would definitely not look back.

That night, although the two of them rested together, fortunately they didn't do anything.

Maybe because something happened, Gu Qingning didn’t sleep well.

By midnight, Gu Qingning woke up almost as Lu Jingyu beside him got up from bed.

When Lu Jingyu came back and put on his clothes, she asked sleepily, "Did something happen in the Third Prince's mansion?"

Lu Jingyu nodded, "The Third Prince intends to take advantage of the dry weather and the possibility of flooding to burn Chen Ya to death."

Gu Qingning's eyes turned cold after hearing this, "He is really not worthy of being the crown prince!"

Lu Jingyu: "He probably can't do it."

The couple changed their clothes and quietly left the Duke's Mansion.

When they arrived, the Third Prince's mansion was ablaze. Gu Qingning saw a man standing there in a black brocade robe with gold patterns.

He had a gentle and elegant appearance, but at this moment his face was covered with frost.

The Third Prince and his men knelt on the ground in a huge crowd. He cried and begged the man:

"Father, I am innocent. I don't know how the fire started!"

"I am not lying. Not long ago, there was also a fire in the West Wing."

"It must be because the weather is too dry that the flood occurred!"

There was disappointment in Emperor Minghe's eyes.

"Do you think I don't know what you did? Do you know why I let you marry Chen Ya in the first place?"

"Father, I..."

"You are stupid!" Emperor Minghe said coldly, "Come here, imprison the Third Prince in the Prince's Palace. No one is allowed to visit him without my order!"

After saying this, he turned away.

The third prince tried to catch up but was immediately sent back by the imperial guards.

It is worth mentioning that the fire set by the third prince himself was not put out immediately, so it burned down half of the prince’s palace.

Emperor Minghe was obviously exhausted, so Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning went forward to pay their respects to him.

Emperor Minghe looked at the two men, and a hint of relief flashed across his tired face:

"This time it's all thanks to you guys. By the way, you are Qing Ning, right? Can you send Chen Ya to your clinic first?"

Gu Qingning quickly said: "Of course, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

What Gu Qingning didn't expect was that Emperor Minghe actually personally took people to send Chen Ya to the clinic in the middle of the night.

I think it was also to comfort Chen Ya's heart. After all, the third prince was too unreasonable.

Gu Qingning quickly told Wei Shuhe what had happened.

Wei Shuhe is a kind-hearted doctor, so he is naturally very worried about his patient Chen Ya.

"I'll check Miss Chen's pulse right now."

In the hall outside, seeing the people coming, Emperor Minghe stood up and said, "I have also sent secret guards here. The imperial edict for the two people's divorce will be sent here tomorrow. Qing Ning, I will trouble you next."

Gu Qingning was extremely terrified, "Your Majesty, please don't say such polite words. It is my duty as a subject to share your worries."

Emperor Minghe had always admired Gu Qingning, so he smiled gently and asked Lu Jingyu to send him out.

Gu Qingning turned around and went into the inner room.

When Emperor Minghe got on the carriage, he was filled with emotion:

"Jing Yu, do you think I am a failure?"

Lu Jingyu: "That's true when it comes to choosing an heir."

Emperor Minghe was stunned, then smiled bitterly, "You, you are the only one who dares to speak to me like this, never mind, now it seems that the third brother is indeed not worthy of being used. It's too late, I'm going back to the palace."

Knowing that the third brother is under confinement, Concubine Su will probably make a fuss tomorrow.

The most important thing is that among the adult princes, only the sixth prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long is left...

Could it be that he is going to re-draft and select a few more children?

But before Emperor Minghe left, he reached out and patted Lu Jingyu on the shoulder:

"Qing Ning is a good girl. You should treat her well and don't look down on her background."

Lu Jingyu: "I have never disliked her."

Background will affect a person's character, but it will not determine everything about a person.

For example, in his opinion, Gu Qingning is many times better than Shen Ruoying who was born in a marquis's mansion.

Gu Qingning, who was considered much better by Lu Jingyu, was standing beside the bed with a frown on her face, and asked nervously, "Shu He, how is Miss Chen?"

Wei Shuhe: "Ms. Chen is too deeply poisoned. It will take a long time to completely remove the poison, and you will have to suffer a lot."

Chen Ya's eyes were filled with dejection, as she thought that she didn't have much time left. However, after hearing Wei Shuhe's words, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is what you said true? Can I still be saved?"

"Yes, but you have to endure the hardship and pain."

Chen Ya's face was pale, but her eyes were bright and shining. "Girls from our Chen family are never afraid of bleeding or pain!"

But they are also afraid of being wronged.

When her father and brother were not around, she suffered a lot.

Gu Qingning: "Ms. Chen, it's all over. From now on, you just need to cooperate with Shu He. You will definitely get better."

"Um!"

After settling Chen Ya, it was already late at night.

Fortunately, the second floor of the clinic was a rest room prepared for Gu Qingning.

In addition, Chen Ya’s condition was too serious, so Gu Qingning also planned to stay.

She found Lu Jingyu and said tactfully:

"Jingyu, there is my room upstairs. It's too late today, so I thought, why not stay here."

Lu Jingyu nodded, "Okay, then we'll stay here tonight. Just ask Chuan Gu to go back and pass on the message from the Duke's Mansion. The imperial edict will also come down tomorrow."

Gu Qingning: "..."

Is it possible that she just wants to stay in the clinic by herself?
