Chapter 235 The person who regrets the most
Su Fei secretly replaced the child and later harmed Lu Jingyu.
For Emperor Minghe, this was a family matter, and family matters should be handled in their own way.
But if this involves state affairs...
Emperor Minghe: "When you were fighting with Nanjiang before, they contacted Nanjiang?"
Lu Jingyu: "Although I haven't obtained any evidence that Concubine Su is colluding with Nanjiang."
"But I do know that the poison she asked the butler Lu Yun to give me was specially supplied by the royal family of the Western Regions, and ordinary people cannot get it."
"I suspect that Concubine Su should also know someone from the Western Regions, or even the royal family."
Are there things about the Western Region involved here?
Before, Da Chu and Nanjiang were at war. Later, Da Chu won more. Nanjiang took the initiative to seek peace, ceded the city, and married the princess to Da Chu.
Full of sincerity.
As for the northern border, Chen's army has been stationed there, so it is very stable.
The remaining South Sea Kingdom basically has infrequent contact with the Great Chu.
The same is true for the Western Regions. They are too far away from Great Chu. Although there will be merchants coming here occasionally, they have nothing to do with Great Chu.
Speaking of being on guard, Emperor Minghe was always on guard against Daliang in the west.
Because the other party is located between the Western Regions and Da Chu.
Not long ago, an incident occurred whereby Li Yundong, the brother-in-law of the former Minister of Revenue, took a large amount of silver to Xiliang.
By the way, the concubine Jin in his palace also came from Xiliang.
If the Western Regions also have ill intentions towards Great Chu, then Great Chu's situation will be very critical.
A family affair involved such a big national affair.
Lu Jingyu, who was standing nearby, felt a little sympathetic towards Emperor Minghe.
Fortunately, Emperor Minghe was very calm and composed, and he calmed down after a while.
He said slowly: "Jing Yu, I will hand over the command of the imperial guards in the palace to you."
"From now on, you can move freely throughout the capital, whether inside or outside the palace."
"If you have important matters, you can come and report to me directly."
"As for the investigation of the spies, wait for Ouyang Rui to come back and tell the Dali Temple to obey your orders at any time."
Lu Jingyu already had half of the military power of Da Chu, and now with these...
"Your Majesty, do you trust me so much?"
With such great power, he could force the emperor to abdicate any day!
Emperor Minghe smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.
"If you are really interested in this position, I can give up the throne in advance once the truth is revealed and the government is stable."
"No!" Lu Jingyu refused decisively, took a half step back, and bowed:
"I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
Emperor Minghe felt a little regretful.
For a moment, he didn't know whether Lu Jingyu really didn't want the throne or was just pretending.
Emperor Minghe warned: "Jingyu, this matter must be kept secret and don't tell anyone else. Even Ouyang Rui said that he was investigating spies from the enemy country."
Lu Jingyu: “Oh.”
Emperor Minghe frowned: "Have you told your guess to outsiders? You shouldn't be such a careless person!"
Lu Jingyu: "She is not an outsider, and I am sure she will keep her mouth shut and can handle it without revealing any clues in front of outsiders."
Emperor Minghe reacted immediately.
If not an outsider, then an insider?
"Is it lime?"
"Um."
Ming Hedi's expression was complicated for a moment. "Although Qing Ning is calm and composed, and does things in an orderly manner, if she knows about this important matter, will she have other ideas?"
It is not that Emperor Minghe judged others by his own mean character.
After all, Lu Jingyu has changed from the son of the Duke to the son of the Emperor.
The next step may be to move to a higher position.
Who wouldn’t be moved?
Lu Jingyu did not tell Emperor Ming He about the Lin family for the time being. He just said with great certainty:
"I absolutely trust Qing Ning, and she would rather marry my tablet, which shows that she is not a sycophant."
Emperor Minghe: "That was because she had no other better choice."
Lu Jingyu: "Because she is good, I am destined to be her best choice."
Emperor Minghe felt a little upset and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
But he thought about it carefully and felt that Qing Ning's character was still trustworthy.
The main person is also smart and very clever.
Although she is young, she is very capable of handling things and is calm and composed. In this respect, she is indeed much stronger than Concubine Rou.
He nodded, "Okay, I will find a reason to temporarily confine Concubine Su to her house, and the three princes are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned."
"They will certainly be in a hurry, and mistakes will be made in a hurry."
Lu Jingyu nodded, "I will definitely seize this good opportunity."
Compared to the dormant and steady Ninth Prince, Concubine Su, who is almost at the end of her rope, will probably be the first one who can't hold back.
only……
Lu Jingyu: "Your Majesty, what about the Su family?"
The Su family withdrew from the power center of the court, but Mr. Su’s students back then are now successful all over the world.
Some of them have now become important officials.
Some of them are loyal fans of the Third Prince and Concubine Su.
Emperor Minghe said calmly: "Perhaps we can take advantage of this opportunity to completely let the noble families give way to the poor families."
Lu Jingyu knew that His Majesty had been committed to balancing the relationship between the aristocratic families and the poor families for many years.
For the emperor, this is a long-term thing.
Today's poor families may grow into wealthy families in the future, so we must always balance them and not let one family dominate.
After the two talked for a few more minutes, Lu Jingyu said goodbye and left.
Emperor Minghe sat on the dragon throne, looking at Lu Jingyu's leaving back, with mixed feelings.
Eunuch Shun smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you finally got what you wished for."
Emperor Minghe glanced at him unhappily, "You only know how to say auspicious words, but it's not certain whether you can really get what you want."
However, when he said this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he was in a good mood.
On this side, Lu Jingyu walked out of the palace, took a few steps, and saw Chen Shu, wearing a blue eunuch's uniform, standing in the corridor.
Lu Jingyu: "What's the matter?"
Statement: "Young Master, pay attention to the Third Prince's personal guard."
"Concubine Su no longer trusts me, and I have nothing to worry about in the capital. The Third Prince came to the palace several times before and conspired with Concubine Su. They drove me out, but kept the guard."
Regarding the matter of the guard, he was also present when the Third Prince had a conflict with Chen Ya.
Luo Shui reported this matter to Lu Jingyu very early on.
It was very strange that the guard could actually contradict the third prince.
Lu Jingyu just didn't expect Chen Shuo to tell him so bluntly. He said sharply:
"Are you planning on leaving?"
Chen Shuo coughed twice and smiled bitterly: "There is nothing here for me to stay. Besides, I am too deeply poisoned. If I don't find a way to detoxify, I am afraid I will not live long."
"Are you poisoned?"
"Um."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Lu Jingyu realized that it must be related to Qin Mingyue.
Lu Jingyu didn't want to ask more about their private affairs.
He said, "If the doctors in the capital can't cure your poison, then you can go to Medicine Valley to find Doctor Bai."
"I have some connections with him and can write a letter of introduction for you."
Chen Shu's eyes lit up, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, young master."
Lu Jingyu nodded and left.
He had a lot of things to assign to his subordinates, and they were so busy that it was almost dark.
When Lu Jingyu returned home and saw Qing Ning with the child, his heart softened instantly.
Suddenly, all the tiredness and irritability disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qingning stood up, took his robe, and handed it to the servant to put away.
"You came back late today. Are you too busy?"
Lu Jingyu: "Fortunately, His Majesty asked me to do the blood test to recognize my relationship with him."
Gu Qingning was stunned, "What does your majesty say?"
Lu Jingyu: "He was quite excited, but tried not to show it. He asked me not to publicize this matter for the time being, and to quickly and secretly investigate Concubine Su and the Third Prince."
Gu Qingning was a little curious, "Was the scene of you two fathers recognizing each other so dull?"
Lu Jingyu didn't really want to mention it, but still said with a bit of disdain:
"It wasn't too boring. He hugged me. He was so old, but he cried so much that my collar was wet."
"That's really not a regal thing."
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your Majesty is excited. In contrast, you seem a bit cold and heartless."
Lu Jingyu: "I have always been like this."
Gu Qingning knew that this person was just being stubborn. He was obviously very excited about this matter, but he didn't show it.
The disdain in his eyes was also suppressed by a thick smile.
In this respect, Lu Jingyu is indeed very similar to Your Majesty.
They are all the same 'two-faced'.
Lu Jingyu said, "By the way, I haven't told His Majesty about the Lin family yet. When Concubine Su falls completely, we will settle all the accounts together."
"You still need it for now, wait for some time."
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "I have waited for so many years, and this day is not a big deal. In fact, I never thought that I would be able to see the Lin family's injustice vindicated one day, but I never gave up."
She was only a little older at the time, which meant she was more mature than other children, so she remembered the blood feud.
But after all, she is an orphan with no one to rely on. It is not easy for her to get to where she is today.
Lu Jingyu didn't want to see her depressed, so he changed the subject.
"Who is coming to your house today?"
After moving, Princess Jiamin and Nalan Zhuer came to visit every day.
Sometimes Lu Jingyu came back early and had to move away to give them space to chat.
Lu Jingyu hoped that Ouyang Rui and Cen Jue would come back soon.
But who would have thought that Gu Qingning would talk about other people.
"The Guangping Marquis' Mansion sent a visiting card, saying that Madam Shen is seriously ill. Can Shu He come to help treat her?"
Gu Qingning's clinic has already made a name for itself.
Most women in the capital would come to the clinic for treatment when they felt unwell.
There are separate consultation rooms for each consultation, and the entire process can be kept confidential without affecting the reputation of the woman.
There are relatively few patients visiting the home, mainly because Wei Shuhe is too busy.
She has brought two female doctors with her who can treat some simple and difficult cases.
As for the pharmacy in front, Su Yue is now the manager who is in charge of keeping the accounts.
Lu Jingyu frowned, "If Guangping Marquis's Mansion wanted to treat Old Madam Shen, they could have gone to the clinic and asked Wei Shuhe to come. Why did they have to bring him to the mansion to bother you?"
Gu Qingning: "Mrs. Shen's illness is probably not serious. The reason she made this detour is that she actually wants to get closer to me."
Now I know I regret it.
What if they find out in the future that Lu Jingyu is actually a prince, how regretful will they be?
No, not just them.
Gu Qingning thought that there must be someone who regrets more than the Guangping Marquis Mansion.
I don’t know what Shen Ruoying is doing now?
