Chapter 195 Mother Lu wakes up
Youngest son?
Among the twins born to Lu's mother, Lu Yunjue is the eldest son, and Mu Qing is the youngest son!
But didn’t Mother Lu deny Mu Qing?
Hu Xin'er and the eldest princess were both stunned, not knowing what was going on for a moment.
"Lu Yunjue... he is still asleep." The eldest princess spoke cautiously, which was rare for her.
At the same time, he exchanged glances with Hu Xin'er frantically: "Has Aunt Lu's condition become more serious?"
Hu Xin'er stood up and held Mother Lu's hand: "Mom, why are you up? Lu Yunjue hasn't gotten up yet. Let me take you for a walk in the garden!"
The four maids beside Lu's mother tactfully stepped back to make room for the young lady.
Mother Lu said sternly, "Don't lie to me. He loves you so much. You're already awake. How could he sleep in the middle of the day? Take me to see him now."
Hu Xiner's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Wasn't it Mu Qing who loved her? Could it be that Mrs. Lu's mind was disturbed, and her memory was stuck at the time before she discovered Mu Qing's true identity?
The eldest princess pulled her aside and whispered, "I'll go get the doctor. You calm Aunt Lu down first."
To prevent Mother Lu from seeing Mu Qing upset, Hu Xin'er smiled and said, "Mother, he was busy with official business last night and didn't come home all night. He just went to bed. How about we wait until he wakes up and then go see him?"
Unexpectedly, Mother Lu's eyes were sharp, as if she could see through her thoughts at a glance: "Girl, how did you learn to lie to me?"
Hu Xin'er was about to make an excuse when Mother Lu frowned. "You two work for the Duke's Mansion, and you always go and come back together. Where does this mean you're on official business? You can't even lie. How can I be at ease?"
Hu Xiner was confused. From the tone of her voice, it seemed that Mother Lu's memory was correct. But she was clearly afraid and disgusted with Mu Qing before. Why did she change so drastically now?
Because Lu's mother was ill, Hu Xin'er always did what she wanted to do to avoid her getting angry.
It’s just that it was easier to fool Mother Lu when she was unconscious, but now she speaks clearly and coherently.
In desperation, she had to bring Lu's mother to Mu Qing's room.
There was a smell of medicine in the room, but Mother Lu was completely unaware and walked forward foolishly.
Hu Xin'er helped her walk to the bed: "Mom, look, Lu Yunjue was exhausted yesterday and is sleeping in."
Seeing the comatose Mu Qing, Mother Lu caressed his face lovingly and murmured, "Mu'er, you've suffered so much over the years. I shouldn't have listened to your father and sent you away."
He turned to look at Hu Xin'er and asked lovingly, "His name is Mu Qing, right?"
These words were like a bolt of thunder out of the blue.
Mother Lu knows Mu Qing's true identity?!
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Hu Xin'er's voice was shaking because she was so nervous.
"Silly child, you've suffered a lot these days." Mother Lu said with a gentle look, "I remember everything now."
Hu Xiner confirmed in shock that Mother Lu had regained consciousness!
At this time, the eldest princess also came in hurriedly with the imperial physician. She just heard these words and was stunned at the door.
"Aunt Lu, you're finally okay!!" Because the eldest princess was an outsider, she was the first to recover from her shock.
She walked over and poked Hu Xin'er, just as she was about to share her excitement, but she saw Mother Lu's face change and she pulled Hu Xin'er behind her.
At the same time, Mother Lu's four trusted maids also came forward and looked at her warily.
The eldest princess was stunned: "Aunt Lu, what are you doing..."
Mother Lu coldly questioned, "You approached Mu Qing and Xin'er, and then took our family hostage to the Princess's residence. What is your purpose?"
"Aunt, what are you talking about? Don't you recognize me? I am Nangong Yue!" The eldest princess thought that her memory was confused again. Although she felt a little wronged by the questioning, she endured it.
Unexpectedly, after she revealed her identity, Mother Lu waved her hand and two maids rushed forward and took advantage of the eldest princess's unpreparedness to put her hands behind her back.
The eldest princess was shocked and angry: "Xin'er, what's wrong with your mother-in-law?"
"Mom, this is the eldest princess. She helped a lot when you were unconscious. Let her go." Hu Xiner pulled Lu's mother's sleeve.
"Help? I think you're spying on you for the Crown Prince!" Mother Lu stared at the eldest princess, her face filled with suspicion and disgust. "Tell me, are you here to silence someone for the Crown Prince?!"
Being treated like this by an elder whom she usually trusted, the eldest princess angrily asked, "I respectfully call you Aunt Lu, why are you slandering me?"
She was fed up! Why did people always slander her prince brother recently?
"You're slandering me? Haha!" Mother Lu sneered twice, and suddenly pulled open her collar, revealing her neck.
There is a centipede-like scar on it!
The scar was below the neck, obviously caused by a sharp weapon. No wonder Mother Lu always wore high-necked clothes. It turned out she was trying to cover up the scar!
The princess was startled by the horrific scar, and her anger dissipated a little: "Aunt Lu, are you still not awake? How did you get this scar?"
Mother Lu demanded, "Why, are you afraid now? Back then, the Crown Prince first poisoned my husband, then sent people to wipe out the Lu family, causing me to lose one son and severely injure another. You should be afraid of your brother, the Crown Prince!"
The eldest princess was shocked. What Mother Lu said was exactly the same as what that witch said.
She said hurriedly, "Impossible, Auntie, you must be confused! You have watched the Crown Prince grow up. He has always been gentle, respectful and frugal. How could he possibly kill Prime Minister Lu?"
"Wenliang Gongjian is a joke!" The usually elegant and dignified Mother Lu actually pooh-poohed. "If he were gentle, we wouldn't have survived the Taoist priest's rescue. My poor sister and son have suffered undeservedly. This is all your royal fault!"
Hu Xin'er listened in astonishment: "Mom, so you know everything?"
Madam Lu laughed bitterly, "That's my own son. Even if his face has changed, we're still blood relatives. How could I not tell the difference?"
This is the third person who says that he is the real culprit behind the prince's actions!
The eldest princess was no longer so confident, especially when she saw the eye-catching scar on Mother Lu's neck, she fell into a struggle.
"You said, was this really done by the prince brother?"
She took two steps back in disbelief, and after receiving a sneering response from Mother Lu, she ran out in a panic.
"Don't let her run away!" Lu's mother was about to send someone to chase her, but was stopped by Hu Xiner.
"Mother, wait." She held Mother Lu's hand. "The eldest princess is kind by nature and won't do anything to hurt us. Now that she's beginning to doubt the crown prince, she won't reveal any information about us to him!"
While Mother Lu was still awake, Hu Xin'er asked earnestly, "Mother, do you know where your sister is? Perhaps she has a way to wake Mu Qing up."
