Chapter 272 The truth behind the Lin family tragedy
Gu Qingning smiled, "Then your Highness the Prince may not look down on me, the daughter of an imperial physician."
Lu Jingyu shook his head.
"No, I will definitely marry you. Because feelings are something that will not change because of your status."
Gu Qingning thought of the Queen Mother's many attempts to show her attention to her, and the smile on her face slowly faded.
"Jing Yu, you think so, but you can't guarantee that others think so too."
"If everything that happened back then had not happened, His Majesty would have valued you very much and might have made you the Crown Prince a long time ago."
"My status is definitely not worthy of you. Not to mention the Crown Princess, I'm not even worthy of the Crown Princess."
Hearing her say this, Lu Jingyu immediately held her hand.
"Qing Ning, since I have determined that you are my wife, then you are my only wife."
Gu Qingning: "But, your elders..."
Lu Jingyu: "They can't be my master."
"If I can't even be my own master, then I don't want to be the prince!"
If someone else said this, it might be hypocritical.
But Gu Qingning knew that even if he was not a prince, Lu Jingyu's status in Emperor Minghe's heart was extremely high.
He is still young and will surely make further progress in the future, and may be able to reach the highest position in the government.
She leaned gently into Lu Jingyu's arms and said softly:
"Well, I believe you."
I believe that you care about me the most now and will not demote me to a concubine.
As for the future, as long as you are willing to always stand by my side.
No matter how many other people come, I will do my best to cope with it.
Because only when husband and wife are of one mind can they achieve success.
Two days later, Cen Jue was supported by Nalan Zhu'er and slowly walked into the clinic.
Wei Shuhe showed Cen Jue the wound. She frowned and asked, "Master Cen, did you deliberately get water on your wound?"
Nalan Zhu'er next to her suddenly became very nervous.
Cen Jue: "I didn't get wet on purpose, but I fell into the water after being injured because we encountered water bandits at that time."
Nalan Zhu'er was about to cry.
It’s so dangerous!
Wei Shuhe: "Because your wound has been soaked in water, there may be some rotten flesh. It needs to be cut off and then sutured."
"Otherwise, the meat inside will still be prone to necrosis."
Cen Jue: "The last time an imperial physician came to see me, he said the same thing, but he also said it was dangerous."
Wei Shuhe: "I am sure that your life will not be in danger."
Nalan Zhuer immediately said, "Ajue, let Shu He treat you. She is very capable."
When Cen Jue heard her say this, he nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Wei."
Wei Shuhe: "Zhu'er, come with me to prepare the equipment that will be used later. Let Master Cen rest for a while."
Nalan Zhuer nodded.
Everyone went out, and Cen Jue lay alone on the couch, looking at the curtains on the roof.
When the wind blew, Yingluo swayed along with it.
After a while, someone walked in, picked up a chair and sat down.
Upon seeing this, Cen Jue immediately stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Lu Jingyu waved his hand, "I came here in a low-key manner, just because I don't want others to find out, so there's no need for these false formalities."
"You don't have to get up. Don't tear the wound open again."
After hearing this, Cen Jue did not stand up and nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect you to be His Majesty's son."
Lu Jingyu: "I didn't expect this. When I was investigating the Lin family tragedy, I found out what Su Tanxin and the others had done."
When he said this, he deliberately paused and did not continue speaking, giving Cen Jue time to react.
Sure enough, Cen Jue was silent for a while, and suddenly said:
"Your Highness, now that Su Tanxin and the others have been brought to justice, is this matter over?"
Lu Jingyu: "Although Su Tanxin and others have been brought to justice, there is still one thing I don't understand."
"If Su Tanxin was afraid of the Lin family back then, then she should have taken action against the Lin family when I was just born."
"Why do you have to wait ten years to do it?"
Cen Jue half-lowered his eyes: "Maybe at the beginning, Su Tanxin and the others didn't take you seriously, thinking you were just a child."
"But a decade or so later, you started to show your talents at a young age, so they were worried that what happened back then would be exposed?"
Lu Jingyu: "If you really want to say that, then that's it."
"Your revenge will never be avenged!"
He stood up and was about to leave.
Cen Jue's eyes suddenly shrank, "Wait a minute, Your Highness, what else do you know?"
Lu Jingyu: "I learned a little from Madam Zhou, but not much, so I really want to know how much you know."
"And whether your desire for revenge is strong enough."
Cen Jue closed his eyes, "What's the use of being strong? But he is the prince, and he is your uncle!"
Lu Jingyu: "You know, I just returned to my ancestral home, so I don't have much affection for this uncle."
"And he is a prince, and I am still a prince, or even... maybe a crown prince in the future."
Cen Jue opened his eyes, "So Your Highness wants to clear the obstacles in advance?"
Lu Jingyu: "You can understand it that way, but the most important thing is that I want to avenge my wife."
"She is the daughter of the Lin family. You know this, right?"
"So, now you can tell me what happened between the Ninth Princess and Lin Ming'an, right?"
Cen Jue is an overly cautious person.
Even though Lu Jingyu had said this, he still didn't answer immediately.
Lu Jingyu was patient and sat there without saying a word.
After a long, long time, Cen Jue said softly:
"My eldest sister is much older than me. She is the eldest daughter and she always protects me."
"At a banquet, the Ninth Prince fell in love with her at first sight, but my eldest sister didn't want to marry him."
"But the Ninth Prince's power and the Cen family's fawning on her all forced her to marry."
Whenever he recalled that time when his most beloved elder sister cried every day, Cen Jue felt extremely sad.
Unfortunately, he was too young at the time, just a child who could do nothing.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his eldest sister was forced to marry the Ninth Prince.
Cen Jue: "Eldest sister originally had someone she loved. He was elegant, gentle, considerate, and had great medical skills."
"It's just that you were born before I was born, and I was born when you were old."
"That man got married a long time ago, so the eldest sister could only suppress that feeling deep in her heart."
"But she was not happy in the palace. She didn't like the Ninth Prince in the first place, and she knew that he was a cruel and ruthless person."
"Then, when she fainted in the palace after she became pregnant, it was Imperial Physician Lin who saved her in time."
But who would have thought that during this reunion, the Ninth Prince discovered something.
He actually found out the letter written by his eldest sister.
The jealous and crazy Ninth Prince even thought that the child in his eldest sister's belly was not his, but Lin Ming'an's!
Cen Jue: "The Ninth Prince wanted to kill Lin Ming'an, so he instigated Su Tanxin and her gang."
"Su Tanxin originally thought that all she had to do was kill the old imperial physician Lin, but the Ninth Prince took some action and bribed the bandits, turning it into a tragic case of annihilating the entire family."
"After the eldest sister learned about this, she had a quarrel with the Ninth Prince even though she was ill."
"As the two of them pushed and shoved, the red hairpin pierced into my eldest sister's abdomen..."
Although Lu Jingyu had already guessed the truth almost exactly.
But listening to this process, it still feels very tragic.
No matter it was Su Tanxin’s selfishness at the beginning, or the Ninth Prince Qin Kun’s selfishness.
The Lin family members are all so innocent.
They practiced medicine diligently and conscientiously and lived honest lives, but who would have thought that they would cause such a terrible disaster.
Cen Jue looked painful.
"If my eldest sister were still alive, she would definitely feel guilty towards the Lin family. So, I thought about avenging her and the Lin family, which would also comfort my eldest sister's spirit in heaven."
"It's just that I'm too weak."
His words were insignificant and he was still as helpless as when he was a child, so he could only stay by the side of the Ninth Prince for the time being.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside.
Lu Jingyu gave Cen Jue a few more instructions before turning around and leaving through the side door.
Through the secret passage, I entered another side room.
Gu Qingning was already sitting there waiting.
She raised her head, "Well, did Cen Jue tell you everything?"
Lu Jingyu nodded.
Gu Qingning was a little nervous, but still asked, "Then my father and the Ninth Princess..."
Lu Jingyu: "There is no connection between them, and there is no violation of the rules. It's all just Qin Kun being jealous."
Hearing him say this, Gu Qingning breathed a sigh of relief.
In her few memories, her father and mother were deeply in love and lived in harmony with each other.
If there really is some involvement with other women.
Invisibly, her beautiful feelings towards her parents will be obscured.
Fortunately not.
Lu Jingyu slowly repeated to Gu Qingning what Cen Jue had said.
Gu Qingning's face became even more serious after hearing this.
She murmured, "Although the Lin family's misfortune was caused by the Ninth Princess, she is also a pitiful person."
When she was killed by her husband, the baby in her belly was only a few months old.
Lu Jingyu: "So all the sins should be blamed on Qin Kun."
"However, he has cleared himself of the Lin family incident before."
"And later on, he cleared himself of the charge of the Third Prince's rebellion."
Maybe there were some clues, but they were not enough to convict him.
Gu Qingning immediately said, "Didn't they say before that the Ninth Prince's people were in Southern Xinjiang, trying to rebel?"
Lu Jingyu frowned, "Father has suppressed this matter and doesn't seem to be going to attack it for the time being. Besides, he has already warned Qin Kun before."
Gu Qingning: "Your Majesty, are you planning to let him go?"
Lu Jingyu shook his head. "No, based on my understanding of His Majesty, it seems that he deliberately let the Ninth Prince slip through the net, leaving it for me to practice with in the future."
For a moment, Gu Qingning didn't know how to evaluate Emperor Minghe.
Even though he is a bad father.
But being a monarch requires careful consideration.
Gu Qingning frowned and said, "So, there is nothing we can do to deal with the Ninth Prince now?"
The blood feud between their Lin family and the hatred for Cen Jue's sister.
Is there no way to report it?
