Chapter 170 Lu Jingyu is distressed
Lu Jingyu frowned.
He knew that Qin Xuanlang had something to say, so he deliberately made an excuse.
As for drinking flower wine...
"Just go and have some tea."
Qin Xuanlang nodded immediately, "Okay."
Although he was smiling, he was a little gloomy in his heart.
After all, he is the prince of the Great Chu, and after his third brother was imprisoned, he is now the most popular prince.
Just now, those envoys and princesses from Southern Xinjiang only had Lu Jingyu in their eyes, not him.
Now, Lu Jingyu is taking him less and less seriously!
Qin Xuanlang half lowered his eyes, hiding all the brilliance and darkness in his eyes.
Lu Jingyu could roughly guess what Qin Xuanlang was thinking, but it was the truth that the enemy of my enemy was my friend.
The Ninth Prince appeared too quickly, and he has been making many small moves in secret during this period.
After all, Lu Jingyu is Emperor Minghe's man, so in Qin Xuanlang's view, he should be an object that can be won over and used?
Ever since Lu Jingyu learned about his own life experience, he felt a little weird when looking at Qin Xuanlang in front of him.
It was this restless younger brother who almost harmed Qing Ning.
Thinking of this, his eyes were suddenly filled with disgust and aversion.
Qin Xuanlang, who was sitting opposite him, felt quite complicated. "Jing Yu, why do you keep looking at me like this?"
Lu Jingyu: "Your Highness invites me to have tea. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Qin Xuanlang: "I don't have anything to say, I just have nothing to do."
Lu Jingyu: "Then I'll take my leave."
Seeing that he really stood up and was about to leave, Qin Xuanlang cursed Lu Jingyu's ancestors in his heart.
But on the surface, I had to give in and smile along.
"Jing Yu, I wanted to tell you about the Ninth Uncle. Last time he held a banquet in the palace, it caused such a big incident. I did some research and found out something new."
"At that banquet, many ministers took the beautiful maids they had that day as their wives. However, these maids were not simple at all. Some of them were extremely skilled in martial arts!"
This was about the incident at the banquet that happened earlier, which was disrupted by Lu Jingyu, so the Ninth Prince did not have many maids sent in.
But Lu Jingyu had already found out about the things Qin Xuanlang mentioned.
He even found out that Qiu Shui, the counselor beside the Ninth Prince, was even more extraordinary and possessed powerful underworld influence!
Lu Jingyu knew everything in his mind, but he remained calm, which for a moment confused Qin Xuanlang, who wanted to test him.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the private room next door, followed by the sound of a woman crying.
"He Ming, please don't divorce me, okay? If I did something wrong, can't I change it? You said Xu Nian is injured, how about I go and ask a famous doctor to see her?"
"How about I make her a co-wife?"
It was the voice of Qin Mingyue begging desperately.
When Qin Xuanlang heard this, his eyes widened.
"My sister is a princess of the royal family after all. How can she be so humble as to do this?"
He turned away angrily and went next door.
Lu Jingyu also followed.
He remembered Qing Ning mentioned that Xu Nian was not a simple person and might have some relationship with the Ninth Prince.
In the private room next door, Qin Mingyue pulled He Ming's sleeve bitterly.
He Ming was so angry that he pushed her away.
"In the beginning, it was because you took a fancy to me and asked His Majesty to issue an imperial decree to make me a consort, which made me miserable. Now Nian Nian has been harmed by you. It will be difficult for her to have children in the future. Are you satisfied now?"
"Qin Mingyue, I have made up my mind to divorce you. No matter who comes today, they can't change my plan!"
Qin Xuanlang came in and saw this, and kicked He Ming away.
"How dare you attack the princess? He Ming, how many heads do you have in your He family?"
He Ming was kicked directly and fell to the ground, gasping for breath in pain.
After seeing this, Qin Mingyue quickly helped He Ming up. She glared at Qin Xuanlang, "Qin Xuanlang, are you crazy? Why did you hit Ming?"
Qin Xuanlang: “…”
In the end, this farce ended with Qin Mingyue scolding Qin Xuanlang a few words, then helping He Ming get into the carriage and leaving.
Qin Xuanlang was so angry that he said gloomily, "My sister really doesn't know how to judge people. Doesn't she know that He Ming's performance today was just to control her?"
Lu Jingyu didn't say anything, but just said goodbye. Qin Xuanlang was not in the mood to continue testing anything, so the two parted ways.
Duke's Mansion, Songtao Pavilion.
Gu Qingning stood under the porch, watching the raindrops hit the leaves, then slide down and finally fall into the dust.
She was wearing a light blue silk dress, and her long black hair was lightly tied up with a jade hairpin.
Her face was already extremely beautiful, and after she became pregnant, it became even more gentle and tender.
Especially those beautiful eyes, which became even brighter after seeing Lu Jingyu.
"Jingyu, you're back?"
Lu Jingyu walked over and held her hand, then frowned slightly and said distressedly:
"Why are your hands so cold? Have you been standing for too long? Come on, let's go inside."
"Um."
Gu Qingning was still concerned about the Southern Xinjiang envoys.
She wanted to know whether the person behind the scenes could keep his composure and when he would be able to contact the Southern Xinjiang envoys.
She actually hoped that the person who committed treason was Concubine Su.
The two entered the house, and Lu Jingyu warmed her hands while telling her about the Southern Xinjiang envoys.
"They just arrived. Today, only the Sixth Prince went with me. The others have not made any moves for now, but I have people keeping an eye on them."
"The Sixth Prince even asked me to have tea today. I guess he wanted to test my attitude and see how His Majesty feels about the Ninth Prince."
"But later on, it was interrupted by the affairs of Qin Mingyue and He Ming."
Gu Qingning asked sharply, "Isn't the teahouse where you are drinking tea not far from where the Southern Xinjiang envoys are staying?"
Lu Jingyu nodded, "Indeed, the Sixth Prince wanted to drink flower wine, but I suggested tea... Qingning, do you mean that the sudden appearance of He Ming and Qin Mingyue there was not accidental?"
Gu Qingning nodded. "They could have gone back to the Princess's Mansion to have a fight, but they chose to go there. Maybe the person behind the scenes knew that you and the Sixth Prince would be there."
"However, this does not confirm who is behind this and what they are going to do."
"Or maybe, it's the Sixth Prince's men."
Lu Jingyu recalled carefully, "We didn't say anything else, but the Sixth Prince mentioned it to me. At the banquet hosted by the Ninth Prince in the temporary palace, many ministers brought back beautiful maids. The Sixth Prince knew that those maids were not simple."
If it was the Sixth Prince who set up the trap, then it would be difficult to guess the other party's intentions.
But if He Ming and Qin Mingyue were arranged by the Ninth Prince or Concubine Su...
Should they be worried that the Sixth Prince will win over Lu Jingyu?
Gu Qingning: "By the way, when His Majesty holds a banquet in a few days, will he let the Princess of Southern Xinjiang choose a consort?"
When this matter was mentioned, Lu Jingyu's expression suddenly became subtle.
Gu Qingning's heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the Southern Border Princess chose you?"
