Chapter 310 I want to borrow some of your pregnancy energy
The driver went down to take a look, then immediately returned to the carriage and reported:
"My Lord, it's the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ping'an Mansion."
"Bring it up."
**
Lu Jingyu interrogated the captured people, then took their confessions and went to the palace again with Ouyang Rui to meet the emperor.
They had already reported it before, and this time it was the result of the interrogation.
In the carriage, Ouyang Rui frowned, "There is something about the Jiang family here. Your Majesty has always been very…"
There is no need to say what he said afterwards.
Because the former queen was from the Jiang family, and Lu Jingyu's mother, Concubine Rou, was also a concubine of the Jiang family.
Lu Jingyu lowered his eyes and looked at the petition.
"This is not something we should worry about. He is still the one sitting on the throne, and the country is still his."
If he chose to indulge himself because of personal feelings, then nothing the rest of them said would help.
As for his relationship with the Jiang family... Lu Jingyu doesn't have a deep one.
All I know is that the other party was originally one of the aristocratic families, but the family has always been mediocre and has never stood out.
It was not until later, when a queen emerged in the clan, that the clan began to gain power.
Emperor Minghe also intended to support the Jiang family.
However, all the patriarchs of the Jiang family had no great talents, and even when they sat in high positions, they did not achieve anything.
Until now, Jiang Tao, the head of the Jiang family, is only a minister of the Ministry of Rites.
But such a person with no ability actually had lofty ambitions and secretly colluded with people from the Western Regions.
The people from the Western Regions definitely have ulterior motives, but what exactly do the Jiang family want to do?
Lu Jingyu and Ouyang Rui went into the palace to meet Emperor Minghe.
Emperor Minghe read the confession without changing his expression, but looked at Lu Jingyu first.
"Jing Yu, what do you think about this matter?"
Lu Jingyu: "The purpose of the Western Region is obvious, but the purpose of the Jiang family is unknown."
"In addition, the Ninth Prince also had a hand in this matter. Although he has been keeping a low profile recently, his wolfish ambitions are still there."
Emperor Minghe rubbed his eyebrows.
The vermilion pen touched the name of the Jiang family.
"Don't alert the enemy yet. Have someone keep an eye on Jiang Tao and find evidence of his treason."
"Also, we have to keep an eye on Qin Kun."
Lu Jingyu: "Qin Kun's counselor Qiu Shui is a good breakthrough point."
Emperor Minghe nodded and said, "Go and check it out. If it is confirmed, we will deal with the previous matter in Southern Xinjiang together."
"yes."
Qin Kun was given a chance, but he didn't cherish it, so it's not others' fault.
Emperor Minghe gave some further instructions and then let Lu Jingyu and Ouyang Rui leave.
He watched their backs disappear through the gate.
Eunuch Shun whispered, "Your Majesty, if you want to talk to His Highness for a while, shall I go and call His Highness back?"
Emperor Minghe shook his head.
"He has been busy all night, let him go back and rest early."
Emperor Minghe was indeed a little surprised. How could the Jiang family, which had always been non-competitive and very moderate, be connected with the Western Regions?
After the incident in the dark market, spies from all sides immediately behaved themselves.
When Lu Jingyu returned to his residence, Zhufeng arrived first.
"Master, that slave girl said she was forced to do it, and she plans to confess some things."
Lu Jingyu waved his hand and said, "Let Su Ziyuan do the trial."
"yes."
When Zhufeng took the order and left, Gu Qingning came back.
When she learned that Lu Jingyu was in the study, she asked Banxia and the others to send the sleeping Xiyao back to the backyard first.
She went straight to the study.
Lu Jingyu was leaning against the wall and was about to fall asleep when he heard the door being pushed open. He thought Zhufeng had returned.
When I opened my eyes, it was Gu Qingning.
"You're back?"
Gu Qingning nodded, "I went to the clinic to help Mo Yu find a way to get rid of the control he was under, and I happened to talk to Bai Lansheng about this."
Then, she told Bai Lansheng what he had said about the two killer organizations.
Lu Jingyu: "Masked man, Western Region Killer Organization, Demon Abyss, Royal Family?"
Gu Qingning nodded, "The person who performed the face-changing surgery on Shen Ruoying before was also from the Western Regions. The Western Regions are playing such a big chess game, what exactly are they going to do?"
Lu Jingyu: "They must be eyeing the big piece of meat of Da Chu. After all, Da Chu is the only one in the central area of this continent that has the best time, place and people."
However, now that there are spies in the court, I'm afraid there is already "discord among the people".
Lu Jingyu did not hide it from Gu Qingning and revealed the secrets from the Western Regions about the Ninth Prince and the Jiang family.
As early as when Shen Ruoying became Qin Tingfang, they knew that the Ninth Prince had connections with people from the Western Regions.
But this Jiang family...
Gu Qingning: "Is it my mother's maiden family? That is, the maiden family of the late queen?"
Lu Jingyu: "Yes, my maternal grandparents' home."
Gu Qingning reached out and held his hand.
Lu Jingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I think it's my father who's worried right now. But even though he's depressed, he still told us to continue investigating the Jiang family."
If the collusion with the enemy country is confirmed, Emperor Minghe will still deal with the Jiang family.
Gu Qingning: "Speaking of which, because of the presence of the late queen and the fact that the Jiang family is an aristocratic family, even if someone does not have great talent, they will remain rich and noble forever."
"Why wade into this muddy water?"
Lu Jingyu: "As long as my father is here, they should be relieved. But who knows who the next crown prince will be?"
The couple looked at each other.
The next crown prince is most likely Lu Jingyu.
But even though Lu Jingyu has Jiang family blood in his bones, the Jiang family probably doesn't feel safe.
They were worried that Lu Jingyu didn't care about their Jiang family.
Now we have to see how deep the Jiang family is stuck in this muddy water.
After the couple finished their meal, they started to go about their own business.
Gu Qingning was busy learning how to untie the control on Mo Yu, while Lu Jingyu was in the study, reading secret letters and re-examining the confessions of those people.
The two of them were busy afterwards.
It was not until the eighth day of November, the Empress Dowager's birthday.
Emperor Minghe attached great importance to filial piety, so he held a birthday banquet in the palace on the empress dowager's 66th birthday.
Concubine Rou and Concubine Jin were in charge of this matter and did their best.
Early in the morning, Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu wore formal court robes.
Because he had not yet been crowned king, Lu Jingyu wore a brocade robe with a dragon pattern customary for princes.
Gu Qingning was still wearing the princess's formal court dress.
When the couple entered the palace together, they happened to meet the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince has not yet married and is still alone.
Looking at the way Lu Jingyu and his wife follow their husband's lead, I am actually a little envious.
But then he thought about it and realized that his status as the future queen was higher than Gu Qingning, so he felt more confident.
He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell my brother. Can you let me have him for a while?"
The banquet has not started yet. Emperor Minghe and the Empress Dowager have not arrived yet.
Gu Qingning also thought about going and talking to Jiamin, Chen Ya and the others at this time.
She smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go find Jiamin and the others."
After Gu Qingning left, the Sixth Prince said to Lu Jingyu:
"Brother, why do you let my sister-in-law wear the clothes prescribed by the princess? Shouldn't she wear the clothes prescribed by the prince's wife?"
"You don't care about her, and people say you are henpecked."
Lu Jingyu: "I am henpecked. Am I causing trouble for others?"
"Are you okay? If not, I'll go find Qing Ning."
The Sixth Prince couldn't bear to watch him being inseparable from his wife.
He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, the boy I caught was later discovered to be targeted by the Ninth Prince's men."
"They don't look like they want to save that kid."
In fact, after capturing the person, the Sixth Prince originally planned to blackmail Qiu Shui.
But in the end, they discovered all of the Ninth Prince’s people?
Discovering the problem but not rescuing it is something that deserves further investigation.
Lu Jingyu figured out the whole story almost instantly, "Have someone keep an eye on him first, don't let anyone else catch him, and then you can do as I say."
The Sixth Prince nodded.
But after nodding, his expression became strange.
Why should I listen to Lu Jingyu so much!
Here, Gu Qingning has already found Princess Jiamin, Chen Yan, and Nalan Zhuer.
Everyone is here today except Wei Shuhe.
The sisters had always had a very good relationship, but they all got married, so they didn't see each other very often.
We had a great conversation as soon as we met.
Especially Princess Jiamin, who recounted the changes in the people around her after she became pregnant.
"You don't know, Ouyang Rui once saw me jogging and he was so scared that he almost cried!"
"Really? I'm pregnant, not disabled."
"He almost didn't let me come today!"
Chen Ya laughed beside him, "You just don't know how lucky you are."
Gu Qingning also raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
But when she turned around, she found that Nalan Zhuer, who was usually the most lively, looked listless.
Gu Qingning: "Zhu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Nalan Zhu'er hesitated for a moment before she said depressedly, "My stomach hasn't moved yet."
"In fact, Cen Jue and I have both seen doctors, and they all said that there is nothing wrong with our bodies, but why can't we get pregnant?"
Jiamin suddenly felt very guilty, "I'm sorry Zhu'er, I shouldn't have mentioned the pregnancy."
Nalan Zhu'er: "Hey, don't be like this. I really like listening to you talk about this. Maybe I can lend you some energy and get pregnant."
Gu Qingning said gently: "Since both of you are fine, then your destiny has not arrived yet, don't worry."
Nalan Zhuer nodded, "I know that too, but I still can't help it. Maybe it's because I want to have a relative who is related to me by blood."
Among the few people, she is the only one who has left her hometown.
Needless to say, Jiamin is the one who receives all the love.
Although Chen Ya has not yet married and her father and brother are not in the capital, she is still the apple of the general's eye.
As for Gu Qingning, although Mo Yu was the only one left in the Lin family, at least she still had this nephew.
In addition, her husband Lu Jingyu treats her very well, and they also have a lovely daughter, Xiao Xiyao.
It seems that Nalan Zhu'er is now alone in Da Chu and is actually a hostage. Fortunately, Cen Jue treats her very well.
Several young sisters began to comfort Nalan Zhuer again.
Just at this time, the banquet was about to begin, and everyone returned to their seats.
Men and women still sit at separate tables.
This time, Gu Qingning sat next to her mother, Concubine Rou.
The mother and daughter naturally spoke in low voices.
At this moment, a eunuch sang loudly, and the Empress Dowager arrived.
Everyone stood up quickly.
The empress dowager, dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe, came in surrounded by several young noble ladies.
Gu Qingning discovered that Qin Mingyue and Qin Tingfang were among them?
But at this moment, Concubine Rou's gaze fell on one of the noble ladies.
Suddenly he covered his mouth and whispered in shock:
"She's like a sister!"
