Chapter 157 Do you prefer a son or a daughter?
Chen Shu was stunned.
Weren’t we flying kites happily just now?
How come she had a miscarriage in such a short time?
Although Chen Shuo also hated that woman Xu Nian, that woman had made the princess unhappy for a long time.
However, Aunt Xu had a miscarriage, and the prince consort must have been emotionally devastated.
It's possible that the prince consort might even blame the princess for this matter!
Chen Shu was very worried about the princess, and immediately said to Gu Qingning, "Princess, I won't see you off. Goodbye."
Gu Qingning suddenly said: "If you have time, you can check that Xu Nian."
Chen Shu was stunned.
Gu Qingning: "Who do you think most doesn't want the princess to be pregnant?"
Chen Shuo also didn't want the princess to have a child with her husband He Ming, but he was never willing to hurt the princess.
Although Doctor Li was the princess' confidant, he was the one who poisoned Chen Shu first...all kinds of facts, true and false, real and imaginary, were put together.
In addition, Chen Shuo's concern for Princess Qin Mingyue completely unbalanced his mentality.
If Xu Nian and Doctor Li are in cahoots... Chen Shu's face changed and he turned and ran away.
Gu Qingning turned around, left the princess's courtyard, and got on the carriage.
Wei Shuhe: "Qing Ning, do you think this will work?"
Gu Qingning: "The Prince Consort He Ming thinks Chen Shu is a dog, but in fact, in the eyes of Concubine Su, Qin Mingyue is also an obedient and useful dog."
"The dog owner is too difficult to deal with. I can't find the target right away, so I'll make the dog go crazy first and then turn around to bite the owner!"
Xu Nian is the Ninth Prince's man, He Ming favors his concubine over his wife, Qin Mingyue is a fake royal branch and jade leaf, and Chen Shuo is deeply in love with Qin Mingyue.
These four people are enough to make this scene wonderful!
In fact, the fact that Doctor Li poisoned Qin Mingyue is enough to prove everything.
**
After some rest, everyone set out to return to the capital.
Unlike when they came, when they returned, many ministers' wives refused to travel with their husbands.
Of course, that's not entirely true.
Some ministers and their wives actually became closer and had better feelings after properly handling this matter.
In the carriage, Gu Qingning was eating grapes.
She asked in confusion, "Since Your Majesty knows all about the Ninth Prince's evil ambitions, why did he just make a big deal out of it and not allow him to hold banquets for the next two or three years?"
What kind of punishment is this?
Lu Jingyu: "Actually, I can't see through His Majesty's plan, but he is obviously condoning it."
Gu Qingning: "Is he indulging the Ninth Prince?"
Lu Jingyu: "And the Sixth Prince."
Both parties were testing each other, while Emperor Minghe was making concessions. In fact, there was a sense of letting both parties come to the table to compete.
Previously at the Ninth Prince's banquet, the Sixth Prince had already noticed something was wrong and withdrew early.
For example, when Lu Jingyu almost got into trouble, it was obvious that someone delayed the military intelligence.
However, Emperor Minghe only ordered people to investigate secretly. On the surface, he did not pursue the matter and asked Lu Jingyu not to pursue it for the time being.
Gu Qingning frowned, "Your Majesty, do you want the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince to fight each other? Then, who do you want to benefit? The Third Prince?"
Lu Jingyu: "Are you worried that the Third Prince will take the throne and you won't be able to avenge that lady?"
Gu Qingning looked at him in a daze, "You, how do you know?"
Lu Jingyu: "Your thoughts are written all over your face. You are so simple and easy to guess."
Gu Qingning: "..."
She is not actually simple, but Lu Jingyu is indeed sharp enough.
Gu Qingning picked up the water cup, took a sip, and calmed down.
"The Third Prince has a flawed moral character, behaves improperly, and has little ability. Concubine Su is such a sinister person. We must not allow them to take the throne!"
Lu Jingyu picked up a grape next to him, peeled it, and put it to Gu Qingning's mouth.
"Don't worry, they, mother and son, can't get the position."
Gu Qingning opened her mouth subconsciously, and the corner of her lips touched Lu Jingyu's fingertips.
The young master's eyes dimmed slightly, and he did not retract his fingers in a hurry, but gently wiped Gu Qingning's lips.
Gu Qingning: "...I'd better peel the grapes myself."
Lu Jingyu leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, "Qing Ning, you like sour food so much recently, could it be because of your son?"
Gu Qingning asked back: "You want a son?"
Lu Jingyu stretched out his big hand, covered her lower abdomen, and said seriously: "No matter whether it is a man or a woman, I like them all."
Gu Qingning: "If it's a daughter, we won't have a son in the future, so she won't be able to inherit the title."
Lu Jingyu: "Although there is no woman in the Great Chu who can inherit the title, maybe we can give it a try."
Seeing that he actually seriously considered the feasibility of this matter, Gu Qingning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Just at this moment, there was a noisy noise outside the carriage. Lu Jingyu frowned and immediately asked Chuan Gu to go out to see what was going on.
Kawatani soon returned.
"My Lord, Madam, something happened to Princess Jin'an. The prince consort's concubine, Concubine Xu, had a miscarriage, and he planned to stay with her until she recovered before returning to the capital, but the princess disagreed. The two quarreled, and the prince consort...beat the princess."
This time, things got out of hand.
Lu Jingyu frowned, "I don't know what Princess Jin'an is thinking. Why does she have to be with He Ming?"
Gu Qingning shook her head. "When it comes to relationships, those involved are often confused while those who are watching can see things more clearly."
So Qin Mingyue was blinded by one thing and liked He Ming too much, so she gave in for him again and again.
This allowed the Ninth Prince and Concubine Su's men to take advantage of the situation.
Lu Jingyu didn't quite understand the love between men and women. He frowned and said, "He Ming actually dared to hit the princess. I don't think the princess will forgive him this time."
Gu Qingning shook her head, "Not necessarily."
Lu Jingyu was shocked, "Is it possible?"
It turns out that it is possible.
After He Ming beat Qin Mingyue and proposed a divorce, Qin Mingyue cried and took her people back to Beijing.
She actually tacitly agreed to He Ming staying to accompany Xu Nian.
Gu Qingning only found out about this after she returned to Beijing.
She did not comment on this. After all, it is difficult to say right or wrong when it comes to love.
Sometimes those in power are indecisive, and then things become a mess.
After they returned to the capital, Feng found Gu Qingning and discussed with her the matter of giving Lu Hangzhi a concubine.
Feng: "Qing Ning, although you are the housekeeper now, you have just gotten pregnant and need to take good care of yourself. I am the elder and this is Hangzhi's wedding, so I will take full charge of it. Just give me the keys to the warehouse."
"Mother, it would have been fine if you didn't say anything, but now that you open your mouth you're trying to seize power." Lu Jingyu walked in.
He is tall and strong, and he looks intimidating even without getting angry.
Even the Duke of Qin subconsciously became serious in front of his eldest son.
Feng was even more afraid of her stepson.
She smiled and said, "Jing Yu, you can't say that. I am just temporarily arranging for Hangzhi to marry a concubine. Besides, Qing Ning is pregnant. After Qing Ning gives birth to the child, I will immediately return all the housekeeper rights to her."
"Besides, I'm doing this for your own good."
Feng had a loving smile on her face, as if what she said was true.
Lu Jingyu was unmoved. "Since mother wants to take back the housekeeping power, then go talk to father. Or should we separate the family?"
Feng: “…”
