Chapter 30 His Majesty's Urgent Summon



Qin Huaiyu looked towards the direction of Sheng Yunrong's living room, his eyes turned red with anger, like icicles in the cold winter, flashing with cold anger.

He bit his lower lip tightly and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.

She knew very well that the anger and resentment in her heart were all caused by Sheng Yunrong.

The flowers were in full bloom in the back garden of the Qin Mansion, but Qin Huaiyu had no time to appreciate them.

She walked with firm steps, through the winding path, and headed straight for Lingmeng's residence.

Along the way, the anger in her heart surged like a tide, making it impossible for her to calm down.

"Miss, where are you going?" Seeing this, the maid Chushu hurriedly followed.

Qin Huaiyu stopped and looked back at Chushu, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Chushu, I have something to do, you don't have to follow me."

Chushu looked at Qin Huaiyu worriedly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The young lady must have a big secret in her heart. Ever since Sheng Yunrong's temperament changed drastically, the young lady's mood has become worse and worse. She has also advised the young lady, but the young lady always avoids talking about it.

Qin Huaiyu ignored Chushu and went straight to Lingmeng's residence.

When she opened the door, she saw Ling Meng busy preparing dinner. Ling Meng's face was filled with a happy smile, a kind of happiness emanating from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Huaiyu stood quietly at the door, watching Ling Meng's busy back, with a complex emotion surging in his heart.

She knew very well that if it weren't for Sheng Yunrong, she would now be at her mother's place, enjoying the food she cooked.

"Little girl." Qin Huaiyu called softly.

Ling Meng turned around and saw Qin Huaiyu standing at the door. A surprised smile appeared on her face: "Yu'er, why are you here?"

Qin Huaiyu forced a smile and walked into the house.

She sat opposite Lingmeng, watching Lingmeng cooking dishes skillfully, but her heart was filled with endless worries.

"Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" Ling Meng noticed Qin Huaiyu's abnormality and asked with concern.

Qin Huaiyu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally spoke: "Little girl, I heard there are rumors about you outside, saying that you..."

Ling Meng was stunned. She didn't expect Qin Huaiyu to know about this. She smiled bitterly, put down the kitchen utensils in her hands, walked to Qin Huaiyu, and patted her shoulder gently: "Yu'er, you misunderstood."

Qin Huaiyu looked at Ling Meng, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Mother, I'm worried that you will be affected by this rumor. I'm afraid that you will no longer love father, no longer be in love with father, or even no longer be my mother." Qin Huaiyu's voice trembled a little, and he held Ling Meng's hand tightly.

Ling Meng looked at Qin Huaiyu with emotion. She knew that her daughter was really worried about her.

She patted Qin Huaiyu's hand gently and said with a smile: "Yu'er, don't worry, I won't let Sheng Yunrong hinder our mother-daughter relationship. I will prove my innocence and put your mind at ease."

After hearing Ling Meng's promise, Qin Huaiyu's worries were slightly alleviated.

Pei Jinxiao and Tu Subo walked side by side outside the Qin Mansion. The cold wind could not hide their anxiety and nervousness. Li Cheng, a subordinate, hurried over with a complicated expression, both expectant and nervous.

"Sir, everything is ready. The medicine has been hidden in Sheng Yunrong's medicine as planned. The young prince's brothers have also been recalled and are on standby at any time." Li Cheng reported in a low voice.

Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, but then he turned deep again. He turned around and faced the gate of Qin's mansion. He was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Li Cheng, you must be careful about this matter, and there must not be any mistakes."

"Yes, sir, I understand." Li Cheng replied solemnly.

At this time, Tu Subo stepped forward, looked at Pei Jinxiao's expression, and asked softly: "Jinxiao, you seem to be a little unusual towards Sheng Yunrong?"

Pei Jinxiao's eyes froze for a moment, and he turned his head with a bitter smile: "Su Bo, you are right. Sheng Yunrong is my son's adoptive mother after all, and I do have some feelings for her that are hard to let go. But she is Qin Wenyuan's wife, and I have done this without scruples."

Tu Subo frowned and said thoughtfully, "I know how miserable you are, but doing this may cause unnecessary trouble. The Qin Mansion is now at the center of the storm, so we should still act with caution."

Pei Jinxiao took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "I know, but Sheng Yunrong has raised my son, I can't just watch her get into trouble. Tu Su, help me look at this plan and see if there are any omissions."

Tu Subo took the plan handed over by Li Cheng and read it carefully. The three stood outside the Qin Mansion, discussing in a low voice, nodding or shaking their heads from time to time, with different expressions.

After a while, Tu Subo put down the plan and looked at Pei Jinxiao: "Jinxiao, although this plan is thorough, it is carried out inside the Qin Mansion after all, and we cannot fully control it. Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

Pei Jinxiao was silent for a moment, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I know, but this is the only way I can think of. Su Bo, can you do me a favor?"

Tu Subo smiled slightly: "What's the point of being polite between you and me? You tell me."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Tu Subo and said sincerely, "I need you to help me keep an eye on Sheng Yunrong. If she shows any abnormality, notify me immediately. I believe she will be the key to this plan."

Tu Subo pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, I understand. I will keep an eye on Sheng Yunrong's movements."

Li Cheng listened silently, and secretly sighed in his heart: The friendship between Pei Jinxiao and Tu Subo is really deep. At such a moment, they can still be so honest with each other and face difficulties together.

At this moment, another subordinate hurried over, stood in front of Pei Jinxiao, panting, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I just received news from the palace that His Majesty the Emperor urgently summoned you, and it seems that there is something important to discuss."

Pei Jinxiao frowned, his eyes were like torches, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the important matter? Is there a change in the war situation?"

The subordinate shook his head, catching his breath, and said, "It's not a war. It's said to be about a marriage. Your Majesty, this... this is a big deal!"

Pei Jinxiao was startled, and his expression became complicated. He pondered for a moment, and said to his subordinates: "Let's go to the back alley, and we can talk while walking."

The two walked through the narrow alley and came to an empty corner. Pei Jinxiao stopped and the attendant knelt down and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Emperor suddenly summoned you because of your marriage. It is said that the Emperor proposed it himself and has already chosen an auspicious date, which will be next month."

Pei Jinxiao's face darkened when he heard this. He frowned and said thoughtfully, "I understand. This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. Do you know why the Emperor suddenly proposed a marriage?"

The subordinate shook his head and said in confusion: "I don't know, but seeing the emperor's anxious expression, it seems that this matter is very urgent."
