Chapter 129 The Madam is Very Sweet
The young and handsome general always looked very serious no matter what question he asked.
The other person's figure is reflected in the deep eyes.
But Gu Qingning suddenly thought of something, and her ears suddenly became hot even though she was usually calm.
"That was my original plan, but business is more important. How is His Majesty doing?"
Lu Jingyu: "Let's go take a hot spring bath."
This statement is a bit outrageous, implying that compared with this, Emperor Minghe's affairs are not serious matters.
Gu Qingning vaguely felt that Lu Jingyu was in a bad mood.
She nodded, asked the maids to prepare the bathing supplies, and then asked them to leave.
Lu Jingyu also changed out of his outer robe, wearing only a white inner garment, and slowly walked into the hot spring pool in the courtyard.
There is a bright moonlight above my head and rippling waves around me.
Gu Qingning was a little shy at first. Although they had already done sexual things, it was still rare for them to soak in the pool alone.
However, she soon noticed that Lu Jingyu was inexplicably depressed.
This man didn't seem depressed when he almost died before, but it's really unusual now.
She also walked into the pool and sat very close to Lu Jingyu. Just as she was about to speak, the other party spoke first.
"sorry."
Gu Qingning was puzzled, "Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden?"
Lu Jingyu sat there leaning back, his head tilted toward the sky, his eyes closed.
"The Sixth Prince had the tiger released to cause chaos, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack Your Majesty. Whether Your Majesty is dead or injured, it will be beneficial to the Sixth Prince."
"The Sixth Prince's selfishness almost got you into trouble. I knew all of this, but I couldn't avenge you."
"Because the Sixth Prince is His Majesty's only son, he has a little mercy on him."
Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs.
This time, Emperor Minghe was fine, so he probably wanted to give his son another chance.
After hearing this, Gu Qingning was silent for a moment, then reached out and held Lu Jingyu's hand.
"Emperor Minghe has not yet made a move on the Sixth Prince. It's not just because of the father-son relationship. After all, this son wants to kill him. There may be other reasons."
"Other reasons?"
"Perhaps His Majesty had always looked down on this son, but through this assassination, he suddenly felt that this son was still very scheming."
He was able to hide behind a dandy appearance before, but now he acts boldly and ruthlessly.
I have to say, this guy does have some skills.
He might even be more capable than the previous third prince.
Lu Jingyu frowned, "Are capable people suitable to be emperors?"
Gu Qingning shook her head. "It still has to be a benevolent monarch. The Third Prince was fine before, but the Sixth Prince is about the same. In fact, his destructive power may be greater than that of the Third Prince."
Strategy and wisdom can become powerful weapons. If they are not used well and one becomes a tyrant, it will cause great suffering to all people.
Lu Jingyu looked at Gu Qingning with a little surprise, which made her a little confused, and she touched her face.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jingyu suddenly reached out and stroked Gu Qingning's cheek with his thumb. He looked at her very seriously.
Because he had been holding weapons for many years, Lu Jingyu had some slight calluses on his thumbs, which scratched Gu Qingning's cheeks and made them slightly numb.
"I suddenly realized that my wife knows so much."
When Lu Jingyu said this, it was sincere admiration mixed with a hint of pride.
But Gu Qingning was frightened when she heard it.
She has always been cautious, and to the outside world she only appears to be the mistress of an inner house. Logically speaking, in the Great Chu, let alone some mistresses, even women among the royal relatives like Princess Jin'an and Lady Jiamin would not discuss state affairs.
But Gu Qingning just talked about it.
The other party was still Lu Jingyu, the kind that was difficult to fool.
Gu Qingning didn't want to continue this topic. She saw the bandage on Lu Jingyu's arm and changed the subject:
"You still have a wound here, you can't get it wet, or you can just... woo..."
Lu Jingyu hooked her chin, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.
Gu Qingning: "..."
Vapor swirled in the air, and the water in the hot spring pool rippled.
In the midst of ups and downs, Gu Qingning felt Lu Jingyu kiss her ear and whispered, "Madam is so smart and sweet."
Gu Qingning: "..."
Even though I had some fun, I still remembered that I was outside.
Since it is in the pool, there is no need to call for water, but the water in the pool must be replaced.
In the end, Gu Qingning was so tired that Lu Jingyu still carried her back to the dormitory first.
Then Lu Jingyu called the servants to clean the pool.
After a while, the man came back and hugged Gu Qingning while she was sleeping.
Lu Jingyu rested his chin on Gu Qingning’s neck.
"The Sixth Prince is not a good person. If he really sits on the throne in the future, I will have no choice but to retire and return home."
Gu Qingning was stunned and turned to look at him.
Lu Jingyu kissed the corner of her mouth as if to comfort her. "It's not appropriate to use the term 'retirement', but it means something similar. When the time comes, I will hand over all my military power and leave the capital."
Gu Qingning was in a complicated mood, "Are you willing to give up these powers? Also, if the Sixth Prince succeeds to the throne and he becomes a tyrant..."
Lu Jingyu said in a deep voice: "That is also the choice of His Majesty. This time His Majesty spared the Sixth Prince, which is equivalent to giving the Sixth Prince a great encouragement."
Gu Qingning nodded silently.
The next Sixth Prince will slowly come out of his dormancy.
He would even take action against the imprisoned Third Prince.
Also, when there are other princes in Emperor Minghe's harem, the Sixth Prince will not remain indifferent.
Gu Qingning was even more worried. If such a person sat on the throne, would the truth of their Lin family's affairs ever be revealed?
Lu Jingyu suddenly hugged her in his arms.
"Perhaps His Majesty has his own reasons for doing this. Even if His Majesty really favors the Sixth Prince, we at the Duke's Mansion have a way out. In addition, I have also kept a backup plan in these incidents. In fact, there are people who are more anxious than us now."
"Are you talking about Concubine Su, the Third Prince and the others?"
"Um."
Gu Qingning miraculously calmed down.
Yes, they are probably going to witness a dog-eat-dog fight next!
In fact, the couple guessed correctly.
At this time, in the residence of the Sixth Prince Qin Xuanlang, he was served by two beauties and was waving a white jade wine glass in his hand.
"You mean, the three captured assassins were beaten to death without confessing anything?"
Zhao Yi, the trusted adviser, nodded and said, "Those three people really didn't confess anything, and it seems that His Majesty doesn't intend to pursue the matter further."
Qin Xuanlang narrowed his eyes, "Do you think Father knows that I did it?"
Zhao Yi: "I think that His Majesty has already guessed it, but he didn't let me investigate. Maybe he suddenly realized that Your Highness is actually very good?"
Qin Xuanlang leaned back, pulled the beauty next to him into his arms, and kissed her.
"Compared to my third brother, of course I am better. By the way, have you found out who the woman that Jiamin protected before is from?"
