Chapter 140 Are you cursing me?
Concubine Su walked in charmingly.
Her facial features resembled those of the late queen, but she was more coquettish and domineering than the late queen.
Concubine Rou held the tea in her hand, not knowing whether to drink it or not.
However, Concubine Jin, who was sitting next to her, drank the wine in the glass beside her in one gulp.
"It's Concubine Rou who adopted her as her daughter, not you. Why does she have to wait for you?"
Concubine Jin was a princess married to a foreign country and she had no children.
In fact, she had a child back then.
But it fell off. Concubine Jin always suspected that it was Concubine Su who did it, but she had no evidence.
She was all alone in Da Chu, and naturally had no one to support her.
She is obviously a very bright person, but now she seems to be tainted with some depression.
Concubine Su's face darkened.
While the two were fighting, Concubine Rou quickly finished the tea in her cup and patted Gu Qingning's hand lovingly.
"Qing Ning, please get up and sit next to me."
"Yes, stepmother." Gu Qingning sat obediently beside Concubine Rou.
Concubine Rou also looked at her carefully. For some reason, the more she looked, the more she liked her.
Although the two did not say anything, their close appearance made Concubine Su feel very annoyed.
Concubine Su no longer paid any attention to Concubine Jin. She sat on the seat next to Emperor Minghe and said coquettishly:
"Your Majesty, you are so biased. I don't have a daughter, but Concubine Rou already has a daughter. Why don't you let Gu Qingning recognize me?"
Emperor Minghe thought to himself, how dare you ask?
Concubine Rou's daughter comes close to you all the time, she's almost like your daughter.
He smiled gently and his eyes fell on Lu Jingyu who was sitting below him.
Lu Jingyu said decisively: "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty. I asked for it."
Concubine Su: "Jingyu, you and I are relatives, how can you bypass me and look for outsiders?"
Lu Jingyu: "Just because the minister and the queen are already relatives, there is no need to go through the trouble of choosing a queen."
Concubine Su choked.
When did this kid become so eloquent?
Emperor Minghe said at the right time: "Okay, don't embarrass Jingyu. This kid is now completely focused on his wife."
Concubine Su laughed dryly, and suddenly thought of something, her smile became even brighter.
She looked at Lu Jingyu lovingly:
"By the way, I heard a bad rumor and thought it would affect your relationship. Now that I see that you two have such a good relationship, I feel relieved."
Any normal person would ask what kind of rumor it is.
But at this moment, Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu were in perfect harmony and were both very calm.
The curve of his lips was always the same, but he never asked.
Similarly, Emperor Minghe also guessed that it might not be a good thing, so he did not ask.
He even turned around and told Eunuch Shun to ask the palace servants to bring all the dishes.
Concubine Rou didn't understand what was going on, while Concubine Jin just sneered and didn't say a word, concentrating on drinking the wine on her table.
Gu Qingning could almost hear the sound of Concubine Su gritting her teeth.
She half-lowered her eyelashes, looking obedient.
Others thought she was avoiding Concubine Su's edge, but in fact only she knew it.
She was hiding the murderous intent and hatred in her eyes.
The murderer who killed the entire Lin family was right in front of her, but she could do nothing for the time being.
How to take revenge on Concubine Su?
This is actually very difficult, but there is a good starting point:
That is, no matter what, the Third Prince, the biological son of Concubine Su, must not be allowed to sit on the throne!
Gu Qingning was thinking in her mind, wondering whether the Sixth Prince would be able to take action against the imprisoned Third Prince.
She suddenly heard someone talking to her.
The elegant man sitting in the wheelchair, with the lowest presence, said slowly:
"What kind of rumors would make Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine think that it's not good?"
Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu glanced at each other inconspicuously.
It turns out that the Ninth Prince is in cahoots with Concubine Su.
Emperor Minghe looked at his sickly brother unexpectedly, but his eyes were calm.
There was a flash of surprise in the Sixth Prince's eyes.
It can be said that among the people present, each of them has eight hundred thoughts on his mind.
The family reunion banquet had unknowingly turned into one filled with swordplay and the atmosphere was tense.
Concubine Su also seemed surprised that the Ninth Prince would respond.
She was stunned for a moment, but continued speaking along with what he said.
"Because I heard that Qing Ning seemed to be ill, and I was worried that it would affect her offspring."
Princess Jiamin looked at Gu Qingning in shock, "You can't have children?"
Gu Qingning smiled and shook her head, "It's just a rumor."
Concubine Su continued, "Gossip can melt gold, and there is no smoke without fire. Qing Ning, although you run a clinic, you can't be shy about seeing a doctor. How about asking the imperial physician to come over and take your pulse?"
Gu Qingning frowned slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Imperial Concubine, but today is the family reunion banquet, so it's not a good idea to have the imperial physician come. I'd better go ask the doctor to take a look another day."
Concubine Rou also said, "Tomorrow, I can ask the imperial physician who often checks my pulse to come over and take a look at you."
Gu Qingning nodded, "Thank you, stepmother."
The 'mother and daughter' sang the same tune again, making Concubine Su so angry that she fell backwards.
Concubine Su looked at Concubine Rou with a fake smile, "Sister Rou, why do I feel that you treat your adopted daughter better than your biological daughter? Poor Mingyue is still lying on the couch with injuries. How sad she must be if she knew about this?"
Concubine Rou suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Gu Qingning was about to speak when she heard the palace servant guarding the door shout, "Greetings, Princess."
Speak of the devil, here comes Qin Mingyue, who is actually being carried here!
Qin Mingyue sat comfortably on the soft chair. Beside her, besides the attendants carrying the sedan chair, there were also her trusted imperial physician Li Ming, and Chen Shuo.
Emperor Minghe: "Mingyue, your leg is not healed yet, why don't you rest in your room at this time?"
Qin Mingyue: "Hello, father. I heard that my mother is going to adopt a daughter. I will have a younger sister soon. Naturally, I have to come and see her."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Rou with an unfriendly gaze.
Concubine Rou frowned, a little timidly, "Ming Yue..."
Gu Qingning stood up and bowed to Qin Mingyue, "Hello, Sister Mingyue."
Qin Mingyue sneered: "Don't call me sister, I don't have a sister!"
Concubine Rou: "Ming Yue!"
Gu Qingning tugged at Concubine Rou's sleeve, then turned around and nodded with a smile, "Princess, you are right, Qingning overstepped the line. But it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so it's best to rest your leg and don't move around, lest the bone grow crooked."
Qin Mingyue: "Are you cursing me?"
"Okay Mingyue, Qingning cares about you. Please take a seat. If you don't eat now, the dishes will get cold." Emperor Minghe spoke, and Qin Mingyue naturally didn't dare to continue to act rashly.
Everyone was seated, and Eunuch Shun led the palace servants to set the table for wine and food.
Just when Gu Qingning thought that no one would cause any more trouble, Concubine Su spoke again.
"By the way, Mingyue, I remember the doctor Li who is beside you. He is very skilled in medicine. That's perfect. Let him check Qingning's pulse and see if the rumors about Qingning's infertility are true."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Gu Qingning and said with a smile:
"Lime, you won't refuse, right?"
