Chapter 271 Don’t be in trouble, or I will have to remarry
Ouyang Rui said in a serious tone: "I'm looking at my fiancée. The wedding date is approaching and we won't be able to see each other again."
"So every second you look at it, it counts."
The Great Chu does have some customs, which is that unmarried men and women are not allowed to meet before marriage.
Princess Jiamin's face flushed. "Go away, who wants to see you?"
Ouyang Rui just smiled and said nothing.
He didn't stay long after all. After having breakfast, he went to pay his respects to Princess Anhua and then left.
However, when he returned to the mansion and stepped out of the carriage, he felt dizzy.
Fortunately, a loyal servant supported him.
"Master, are you okay?"
Ouyang Rui was actually very tired.
He appeared calm and composed in front of Princess Jiamin just now, but he was actually just pretending.
He didn't want to make Jiamin worry.
Ouyang Rui whispered, "I've been running around for days without any rest. It's nothing serious. Help me in first."
"Yes, Master."
As for Princess Jiamin, her heart disease really needs to be cured with her own heart medicine.
After Ouyang Rui came back and saw her, her health improved a lot.
Princess Jiamin insisted, "It seems that Shu He is indeed the descendant of a miracle doctor. The prescriptions he prescribed are really effective."
Xiang'er sighed beside her.
"Princess, now everyone knows that you are thinking about what Lord Ouyang wants, so there is no need to be stubborn."
Princess Jiamin: "...When I marry into the Ouyang Mansion, I won't take you with me!"
It's so annoying!
Xiang Er said seriously, "That won't work. The princess has ordered that I must follow you wherever you go. Only then will she feel at ease."
"Even if it's your wedding night, I can squat outside the window and help you with your instructions."
"Who asked you for guidance!" Princess Jiamin suddenly became anxious and threw the peony flower in her hand at Xiang'er's head.
Xiang'er still looked serious, "You didn't even bother to look at the fire avoidance diagrams the princess gave you, so only I can look at them."
"I'll teach you when you need it."
Princess Jiamin had already pounced on her and covered her mouth.
"Just shut up!"
Whose family has a loyal servant like Xiang'er? Whose family!
**
Three days after Ouyang Rui returned to the capital, the Sixth Prince and Cen Jue came back exhausted.
Their condition was not much better than Ouyang Rui's.
However, at this time, all the ministers in the capital who were related to the smuggling salt case.
Those who should have their homes confiscated should have their homes confiscated, and those who should be exiled should be exiled.
The imperial envoy also led his troops and went directly to various places in Jiangnan to arrest the ministers on the list.
There was a panic for a while.
But at the moment, the Sixth Prince can't care about these things.
The Third Prince and the Su family's men failed miserably in their attempt to force the emperor to abdicate. Before the Sixth Prince had time to be happy about this, he heard another piece of bad news.
He actually has another royal brother?
Returning to the Prince's Mansion and closing the door, the Sixth Prince could no longer hold back and said:
"Is Lu Jingyu really the son of the emperor and Concubine Rou?"
The counselor next to him had a complicated expression, "Absolutely true."
"Su Tanxin was jealous of Concubine Rou and swapped the children. Now everyone has returned to their respective positions, and Qin Mingyue has also returned to the Duke's Mansion."
The counselor narrated the whole incident.
The Sixth Prince staggered and fell into the armchair.
He murmured, "Compared to Third Brother, I think I have a 70% chance of success."
"Compared to Uncle Nine, I also believe that I have at least 50% chance of success."
But compared with Lu Jingyu?
When Lu Jingyu was not his father's son, his father liked him very much.
He is both civil and military, has military merits, and has a good reputation.
How can we compare this?
He would rather face his third brother and the ninth uncle at the same time than face Lu Jingyu!
In fact, the counselors were not very optimistic about their master.
He advised: "Master, you are still young, don't worry."
"The Ninth Prince is older than you. He is the one who can't wait any longer."
"You can continue to lie low. Who knows, there may be a time when you can reap the benefits."
Not to mention, a lot of the Sixth Prince's men were also killed in this salt smuggling case.
He had no choice but to lie dormant.
The Sixth Prince turned and walked towards the bed.
“Your Highness…”
He waved his hand, "I'm going to go to sleep first."
"I've been running around for so long, but I haven't gained any advantage. Instead, I'm exhausted."
All he wanted now was to sleep.
At least, you can do whatever you want with this matter.
On the other side, Cen Jue was in worse condition than the Sixth Prince and Ouyang Rui.
He had a deep wound on his abdomen, and his internal organs were exposed.
When he returned home, he was still running a high fever.
But Nalan Zhuer was frightened.
"Ajue, please don't get into trouble. I carefully selected you and it was not easy for me to choose you as my consort."
"If something happens to you, I will have to remarry."
Cen Jue: “…”
He patted Nalan Zhuer on the shoulder.
Nalan Zhu'er cried bitterly, "Are you trying to comfort me? Tell me that I can find someone better than you?"
"But how is that possible!"
"In my heart, you are the best man in Da Chu!"
Cen Jue felt relieved when he heard this, but he still patted Nalan Zhuer on the shoulder and reminded her:
"Zhu'er, you are pressing on my wound."
Nalan Zhuer: "...Oh."
Upon learning that Cen Jue was seriously injured, the Ninth Prince brought the imperial physician to treat him.
After the imperial physician gave the medicine and wrote the prescription, the Ninth Prince said:
"Ajue, I have something to tell you."
Cen Jue nodded, then turned to look at Nalan Zhuer.
Nalan Zhu'er hugged his arm anxiously.
"I'm not leaving. I want to stay with you. You two can talk about things and just pretend that I don't exist."
The Ninth Prince's eyebrows twitched.
How could this princess from Southern Xinjiang be so ignorant?
If it wasn't for the greater cause, he would never have let Ajue marry the princess!
Cen Jue patted Nalan Zhuer's hand and said:
"It might leave a scar on my stomach."
"I remember you said that the scar removal gel at Doctor Wei's clinic is very effective. Can you go there and buy some for me?"
The scar removal glue and beauty pills in that clinic are priceless.
If outsiders want to buy it, they have to wait in line.
After hearing this, Nalan Zhuer immediately said, "Well, you take a good rest, I will go buy it for you and will be back soon!"
She did it in a hurry.
The Ninth Prince withdrew his disdainful look from Nalan Zhu'er's back and said in a deep voice:
"Ajue, what's going on?"
Cen Jue said: "This smuggling of salt involves too many people, and Your Majesty has already taken precautions."
"After we arrived in Jiangnan, we all wanted to get the list in the hands of the Jiangnan County Magistrate."
"Then……"
As the Ninth Prince listened, his brows furrowed.
This time, Cen Jue put in a lot of effort and risked his life to protect less than half of their people.
When the Sixth Prince went there in person, he lost eighty to ninety percent of his men.
It can be said that in this smuggling salt case, neither side gained any advantage and suffered heavy losses.
The Ninth Prince thought back to the court's swift and severe punishment measures in recent days.
The blood on the ground of the Meridian Gate took a long time to dry up.
The Ninth Prince murmured, "My brother may look gentle and refined, but his methods are even more cruel than mine."
This was an evaluation of Emperor Minghe, and Cen Jue did not say anything.
But the Ninth Prince didn't need Cen Jue to speak.
Seeing him half dead, he comforted him:
"No matter what, you did a great job this time. You should take a rest."
"Yes, brother-in-law."
The Ninth Prince came in a low profile and left in a low profile.
Seeing him like this, Cen Jue roughly guessed that Emperor Minghe must have punished him.
The defeat of the third prince was within his expectations.
But the fact that Lu Jingyu was actually a prince did surprise him.
There was light in Cen Jue's eyes, "It seems that I bet on the right horse this time."
**
Government office.
"What? Cen Jue helped you hold back the Sixth Prince?"
Lu Jingyu looked at Ouyang Rui and raised his eyebrows.
Ouyang Rui was even more surprised than him, "Why, don't you know?"
Lu Jingyu remembered that Cen Jue had shown goodwill to them before.
Presumably, this was another attempt by Cen Jue to show goodwill.
Since Cen Jue had a grudge against the Ninth Prince, perhaps he would completely understand why the Ninth Prince wanted to kill the entire Lin family.
After returning home, Lu Jingyu told Gu Qingning about this.
Gu Qingning: "Cen Jue doesn't have to go to court now. He is recovering in the mansion. It's not convenient for you to see him."
"How about I ask the couple to come to the clinic so you can meet him?"
Lu Jingyu: "Meet at the clinic?"
Gu Qingning: "Yes, Zhu'er came to the clinic to buy scar removal glue, but she happened to catch the Duke's Mansion on fire and many people were burned, so they bought it."
"Shu He asked Zhu Er to come back later."
When the time comes, just tell Shu He that he needs to see how big Cen Jue's wound is and whether it can be removed.
You can take the opportunity to invite people.
Although the clinic mainly treats female patients, it occasionally receives male patients in the front hall.
Lu Jingyu nodded, "Okay, you make the arrangements."
Gu Qingning: "By the way, Jingyu, who is the arsonist of Duke Qin's mansion? Have you found out?"
Duke Qin's mansion reported the case to the authorities themselves, so Shen Ruoying set herself on fire and the case was hastily closed.
But the Guangping Marquis’s family refused to agree. They thought their daughter was fine, so why would she suddenly commit suicide?
Someone must have done it.
So I reported the matter directly to the Dali Temple!
Today in the court, Marquis Guangping also sued Duke Qin for murdering his daughter.
Duke Qin was already exhausted, and was also worn out by the Guangping Marquisate.
Lu Jingyu shook his head. "The murderer has not been found. Cuiwei Pavilion has become a ruin. There are no clues."
“As for Shen Ruoying’s body, the Guangping Marquis’ Mansion will not accept it, nor will it be buried.”
Gu Qingning frowned, "I don't know why, but I also feel that Shen Ruoying is not the type of person who would commit suicide."
If she really wanted to die, she would definitely take a few enemies with her.
"Is there any way to confirm whether the body is hers?"
Lu Jingyu: "Not only was the body burned too badly, but it was also hit a second time by the collapsed roof beams."
"It's very difficult for the coroner to make a judgment. This matter has now become an unsolved case."
"But in my opinion, Marquis Guangping may not be seeking justice for his daughter, but just wants to take the opportunity to make Duke Qin pay a large sum of money."
After hearing this, Gu Qingning was also very sad.
“Although I have never liked Shen Ruoying, I think she is really pathetic.”
"The Guangping Marquisate has seen that she is completely useless, so they are trying to squeeze out every last bit of her usefulness."
With this kind of thing going on, it’s no wonder that the Guangping Marquisate fell into decline.
Lu Jingyu reached out and hugged Gu Qingning, "I feel so distressed when I think of how much hardship you have endured in Guangping Marquis' Mansion."
"I was thinking, what if I hadn't been replaced in the first place?"
"You are still in the care of your family, growing up healthy and happy. How happy will we be?"
