Chapter 154 Hug the Young Master and Kiss Him
The serious expression on the Ninth Prince's face almost broke.
He had underestimated Lu Jingyu before!
This guy is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight, but a cunning and difficult guy with a silver tongue!
The Ninth Prince immediately said to Emperor Minghe sincerely:
"Brother Emperor, I made a mistake and shouldn't have said that. No matter what, it is my fault for causing discord among the ministers. Please punish me."
Since I can't defend myself, I can only plead guilty.
But the Ninth Prince was very smart and admitted the lightest crime.
Moreover, at the moment, Emperor Minghe has no other evidence against him, and cannot punish him or find out what other crimes he has committed.
Emperor Minghe sighed and said, "I think the ministers can handle this matter themselves, but it has caused a bad reaction after all. Lao Jiu, don't hold any banquets in your house in the next two or three years."
The Ninth Prince paused, then bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey your order."
Emperor Minghe waved his hand and let the Ninth Prince go, but before the Ninth Prince left, he looked at Lu Jingyu deeply.
Lu Jingyu looked at him with an upright expression and watched him leave.
After the Ninth Prince left, Emperor Minghe said with concern:
"Jing Yu, you really don't feel well. Have you seen the imperial physician?"
Lu Jingyu: "I asked the imperial physician to check it out. It may be that the wound has not healed well. The imperial physician did not say anything else. I think I should continue to rest."
Emperor Ming He: "That's good. By the way, what do you think of what happened last night?"
Lu Jingyu: "The Ninth Prince wants to place spies around those ministers. No one would be more suitable than the one beside him. Those women are probably not simple."
Emperor Minghe: "Old Nine's move is really too high-profile. It doesn't seem like what he normally does. Is he helping someone?"
The three words "Noble Concubine Su" circled on Lu Jingyu's lips, but he swallowed them again.
He said in a deep voice: "I just don't know his purpose, so I thought of deliberately alerting the enemy last night. Now it seems that the Ninth Prince has a deep plan."
Emperor Minghe sat there, rubbing his eyebrows.
"One or two of them are troublesome. As long as the crown prince is not appointed, these people will not stop."
As a subject, Lu Jingyu did not respond to this statement.
Emperor Minghe waited for a while, but got no response. A hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes, and he waved his hand:
"Okay, we'll be back in the capital in two days. If you're not feeling well, take good care of yourself. Plus, your wife is pregnant, so you can stay home and spend more time with her."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lu Jingyu took his leave, and Emperor Minghe rubbed his brows again.
Eunuch Shun came over with a plate of cards and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, which lady's card do you want to turn over tonight?"
During the time Emperor Minghe was in the palace, he favored the newly-brought-in beauties.
Although he had lived a life of luxury for many years and kept himself in good shape, he still lacked interest.
Emperor Minghe glanced at the word "Rou" at the very side and said, "Let's go to Concubine Rou tonight."
There were too many worries, and only when Concubine Rou was by his side did Emperor Minghe feel at peace.
The misunderstanding caused by the Ninth Prince's banquet was gradually settled.
However, the list of ministers who took the beautiful maid into the palace has been sent to the desk of Emperor Minghe.
Soon it was time to prepare to return to the capital.
Because Gu Qingning was pregnant, Lu Jingyu asked someone to modify the carriage.
It must be done very smoothly, without any disturbances or mistakes.
When Feng saw Lu Jingyu making a group of people busy, she muttered to Duke Qin, "Isn't Jingyu doting on Gu too much?"
Duke Qin looked at her in confusion, "Gu is pregnant, shouldn't Jingyu pamper her?"
Feng grumbled, "It's not like Gu Qingning is the only one who can get pregnant! After Hangzhi got married, his wives and concubines all got pregnant!"
Duke Qin asked back, "How many children did you give birth to?"
Feng choked and her face turned ugly.
Not one was born!
Moreover, now there is only one baby left in Linlang’s belly in the capital.
Even if the baby was born, he would be a bastard, incomparable to the eldest son in Gu Qingning's belly.
Thinking of this, Feng became even more depressed.
Just at this time, the white-faced eunuch Chen Shu came to the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion and asked to see the eldest young master's wife.
Chen Shu said respectfully: "The princess invites you to bring Dr. Wei over for tea, and also asks Dr. Wei to take another look at the princess's leg."
Qin Mingyue's leg has gotten better and there is no need for Wei Shuhe to treat her.
Now someone suddenly came to invite her, it must be that Concubine Su asked Gu Qingning to do something.
also……
Qin Mingyue and Gu Qingning had been at odds before, and now that Gu Qingning is pregnant, it is not surprising that the other party might take the opportunity to do something.
Wei Shuhe knew that the other party was a princess and could not refuse.
She turned her head and whispered to Gu Qingning, "How about I go over and show it to the princess myself?"
Gu Qingning shook her head. "Since the princess has asked, I certainly cannot refuse. However, I am not feeling well right now. If something really happens, the princess will not be able to escape responsibility."
Chen Shuo was listening with fear.
Could it be that Gu Qingning is still planning to blackmail the princess?
Gu Qingning smiled and said to Chen Shu, "Master Chen, please go back first. I will clean up here and take Doctor Wei over."
Chen Shu nodded, "Yes."
When Gu Qingning was about to go out, Lu Jingyu suddenly said, "I'll go with you."
Gu Qingning: "Qin Mingyue shouldn't dare to do anything to me directly. I'll take Mo Yu and Ban Xia with me. If you're really worried, then let Zhu Feng protect me secretly. Don't worry."
Lu Jingyu: "Remember Qin Mingyue's cousin? She is very close to Qiu Shui, the counselor beside the Ninth Prince."
Gu Qingning understood and was shocked. "The Ninth Prince also arranged people around Qin Mingyue? She herself doesn't even know?"
Lu Jingyu: "She has a brain that can think of something fishy. If Qin Mingyue asked you to help persuade Chen Ya to go to His Majesty to plead for the Third Prince, the Ninth Prince definitely does not want the Third Prince to be released, and then he will have someone do something to you."
Gu Qingning looked horrified.
If something happened to her with Qin Mingyue, the responsibility would fall on Qin Mingyue no matter what.
It will also make Lu Jingyu resent Qin Mingyue and Concubine Su.
There is no need to think about the third prince coming out.
This is a great strategy that kills two birds with one stone!
Gu Qingning frowned. She really hated being schemed against and used by others.
She walked to the medicine box, took out an ointment and rubbed it on her hands, while putting away another ointment.
Lu Jingyu was curious, "What is this?"
Gu Qingning: "That woman is pregnant too, right? If she dares to do anything to the baby in my belly, then she is not qualified to be a mother."
Oh no, I will never be qualified to be a mother.
After Gu Qingning finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the young master beside her had not spoken for a long time.
When she thought about someone trying to harm her child, one of her few relatives, a hint of anger emerged in Gu Qingning's eyes.
When he speaks and does things, he can be quite ruthless.
But he ignored the young master.
She raised her head and wanted to explain to Lu Jingyu, but was suddenly hugged by Lu Jingyu.
"Qing Ning, it's great that you have the ability to protect yourself, but don't worry, I will do my best to protect you."
Lu Jingyu believed that it was because of Gu Qingning’s experiences since childhood that she had to do everything she could to protect herself.
It’s really not easy.
When Gu Qingning felt his heartache, she was in a trance for a moment and her heart softened.
She reached out and held Lu Jingyu's face, then stood on tiptoes and kissed him.
