Chapter 243: You Said You Were the One Who Instigated You

[Everyone says that mother is father's favorite concubine, but I think she is just that.]

[Mother's days in the palace were really boring.]

The Emperor of Great Chu paused, and indeed felt a little guilty towards Song Qingyan.

It’s not that I didn’t come to see her these days, but because of my suspicion and doubt towards her yesterday.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and hugged Lu Xingwan: "There have been too many things going on in the court recently. I haven't come to visit you and your daughter for a long time."

Song Qingyan just smiled and said nothing.

Although Lu Xingwan was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not climb down from the Emperor of Great Chu this time.

After a long silence, the Great Chu Emperor finally spoke: "Yesterday, Yingyi reported that he had found the assassin who was behind the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Song Qingyan did not speak, but looked up at the Emperor of Great Chu, waiting for his next words.

Lu Xingwan also looked at his father with great interest.

[Wow, it seems that father's Dragon Shadow Guard is still somewhat useful. ]

[You are so slow in investigating something, and you still have the nerve to call the Dragon Shadow Guard! It has been so long, you might as well let my mother investigate it, she will definitely be faster than them. ]

The Great Chu Emperor was used to Lu Xingwan's behavior and was not angry.

But the next sentence exploded in the ears of the mother and daughter.

"It's Jin Yu."

"Who?" Song Qingyan stood up suddenly, then glanced at Lu Xingwan subconsciously. It was clearly Jin Chen who ordered it, so how come it became Jin Yu.

The Emperor of Great Chu knew that Song Qingyan had a good relationship with Concubine Lan, so he was not surprised by her reaction.

In comparison, Lu Xingwan was much calmer.

[I take back what I said earlier. It is obvious that the Dragon Shadow Guards are just being raised by my father to do nothing.]

[You can figure it out with your toes, how could it be the second prince? 】

[No wonder Father didn't go to Concubine Lan's palace last night. Was it because of this?]

[The heart of the emperor is really cold and frail! ]

[It was clearly the Third Prince's man, how did it become Second Brother's? Father, don't you think that Second Brother caught the assassin? If Second Brother had ordered it, he would have killed him on the spot.]

After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, the Emperor of Great Chu suddenly recalled what Lu Xingwan said a few days ago.

In the story, the third prince, in order to please himself, staged a big drama of self-torture and framed the crown prince.

Now he has become the second prince.

I also remembered what Wanwan said, that because I was suspicious of the prince, it led to a series of chain reactions, and ultimately the prince died at the hands of others.

This time, I must not let this happen.

Thinking of this, the Great Chu Emperor stood up suddenly and said, "You and your daughter can have your meal first. I will go to the Yanhe Palace."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

The steps were very hurried.

He happened to bump into Jinyu who came in from outside. Jinyu bowed respectfully and then hurried into the inner room.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with His Majesty?" Could it be that he was angry with his own majesty?

Song Qingyan just shook her head and glanced at Lu Xingwan who was suddenly thrown to the ground by the Emperor of Great Chu and looked confused.

This time, I really don’t know.

The Great Chu Emperor did go to the Yanhe Palace because he had just figured it out. No matter how Jinchen handled the matter, since the Dragon Shadow Guards could not find any information, it seemed that someone had handled it very cleanly for him.

But he must not let Jin Yu suffer an unjust accusation.

He was still very satisfied with his son.

Concubine Lan was about to go to bed when she heard someone outside say that the Emperor of Great Chu had arrived. It was too late to put on her clothes, so she could only bow to the Emperor of Great Chu in her inner clothes: "Your Majesty, I am rude."

The Great Chu Emperor didn't care about this, and hurried forward to help her up: "I forgot about it yesterday, and I suddenly remembered it today."

Concubine Lan smiled when she heard this: "Your Majesty, it's okay."

It turns out that this is the reason for your visit. Your Majesty is indeed greatly alarmed.

After the Great Chu Emperor sat down, he ordered the maid beside Concubine Lan: "Go and call Jin Yu."

Wen Hui, who was serving Concubine Lan, glanced at her master, but found that her eyes were all on the Emperor of Great Chu, so she did not hesitate and bowed and left.

It was a coincidence today. The Second Prince had just returned from Xingyang Palace. He had just sat down to drink a cup of tea and take a breath when he saw Wen Hui coming.

Seeing the second prince coming, the Emperor of Great Chu looked at him with a smile for the first time and told him to sit down.

Lu Jinyu was a little suspicious of his father's smile. What happened to his father today?

After a long silence, the Great Chu Emperor finally explained: "Today, the Dragon Shadow Guard reported that the assassin at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was ordered by you."

Because he didn't want to explain again that he had deliberately ignored Concubine Lan yesterday not because of the assassin incident, the Emperor of Great Chu changed the time to today.

But these words from the Emperor of Great Chu shocked Concubine Lan even more.

Before the Second Prince could speak, Concubine Lan knelt down suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, Jin Yu would never do such a thing. Please understand clearly."

The Great Chu Emperor's expression turned colder when he saw this: "Get up."

Am I really that cruel? It seems that the concubines in the palace are very afraid of me. Am I really the kind of cruel and violent monarch that Wanwan said?

Oh, no, in this palace, Lu Xingwan and her daughter are not afraid of me.

Concubine Lan was still kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, her body even trembling.

Seeing this, Lu Jinyu stepped forward to help his mother up and said to her in a soothing tone, "Mother, if the emperor really suspected me, he would not have come here in person."

Facing Concubine Lan's puzzled look, the Second Prince continued to explain, "If Father really had doubts, I would already be in the clan residence by now."

Then Concubine Cai Lan seemed to understand something and looked up at the Emperor of Great Chu.

The Great Chu Emperor nodded, signaling her to rest assured.

Concubine Lan then wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, I am rude."

"No problem." Perhaps because he felt guilty for misunderstanding the Second Prince, the Great Chu Emperor was patient, "You love your son dearly, too."

The Great Chu Emperor said this, stood up, walked to the Second Prince, and patted him on the shoulder: "I came here just to tell you that you don't have to worry about letting Jinchen follow you to investigate the Minister of Personnel during the day."

After saying this, he looked at Concubine Lan again and said, "I am really satisfied with these two children, Jin Yao and Jin Yu. You have taught them well."

Lan Fei finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on her mind.

The second prince suddenly understood what his father meant. He probably really had doubted himself, and now he was making this trip, maybe to comfort himself, but more to comfort his father himself!

But of course he wouldn't say such things out loud.

On the second day, when the concubines came to pay their respects to the empress, the Emperor of Great Chu specially sent Meng Quande to visit the Jinxiu Palace.

He also deliberately praised Concubine Lan in front of everyone, saying that she was a good parent.

A large amount of rewards has been delivered to Yanhe Palace.
