Chapter 128 Do you want to take a hot spring bath?
Emperor Minghe wanted to rest, so he only asked Concubine Rou to stay with him, and everyone else went back for the time being.
When Concubine Su saw Lu Jingyu coming back, a cold light flashed in her eyes, but she said nothing and turned and left.
The Sixth Prince and Lu Jingyu walked opposite each other.
The Sixth Prince: "Father needs to rest, don't go in and disturb him."
Lu Jingyu paused and faced the Sixth Prince. He said with a cold and handsome face, "I heard that you flirted with my wife?"
The Sixth Prince: "What?"
Lu Jingyu suddenly punched him in the face, and when he subconsciously covered his face, he punched him in the abdomen again.
The guards nearby were startled and ran over quickly.
The two people were separated in an instant.
The Sixth Prince was beaten to the point of almost having a stitch in his side. He said speechlessly, "Lu Jingyu, are you crazy? When did I flirt with your wife?"
"You just molested her. I have to complain to His Majesty."
"I don't even know what your wife looks like, how could I flirt with her? You are simply unreasonable!" The Sixth Prince was also angry.
At this time, Eunuch Shun came out and said to the two of them:
"Your Majesty is going to rest, so please stop making noise here."
Lu Jingyu suddenly held Eunuch Shun's hand and said very persistently: "Eunuch Shun, please go in and tell His Majesty that the Sixth Prince really molested my wife."
Eunuch Shun reluctantly broke free from Lu Jingyu's hand and said, "Young Master, you are also injured. You should go back and bandage it quickly."
Seeing Eunuch Shun's decisive refusal, Lu Jingyu was furious and finally turned and left.
Ouyang Rui didn't understand, but he still followed Lu Jingyu, and the two of them had to go interrogate the prisoner together.
The Sixth Prince stood where he was, his tongue touching his cheek, his eyes dark.
Eunuch Shun had turned around and returned to the inner room, and presented the note in his hand and the sachet that Lu Jingyu had just taken from the Sixth Prince to Emperor Minghe.
After reading the note, Emperor Minghe smelled the sachet again.
A hint of deep disappointment flashed across the usually gentle and elegant face.
Concubine Rou came over with the freshly boiled medicine. She sat beside the couch and said gently, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? This medicine must be taken while it's hot. The imperial physician said that if it's cold, it will affect the effect."
Emperor Minghe raised his head and looked at Concubine Rou, who had gentle eyes and eyebrows and was always non-competitive.
He reached out and held her hand. "If you had given me a son, he would surely be as sensible as you."
Concubine Rou didn't quite understand what Emperor Minghe meant. Thinking about her broken leg, the bad things that happened every day, and her daughter Jin'an, who was not close to her, Concubine Rou's eyes were filled with loneliness.
"I don't know either. I didn't teach Jin'an well. If there really is a prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him well either."
Looking at Concubine Rou, who was as remorseful as a little white flower, Emperor Minghe sighed.
I've known her personality for a long time, she's extremely simple and confused.
But he got along very well with the late queen, and it was also her concubine sister that the late queen specifically begged him to help take care of before her death.
Emperor Minghe sighed lightly, "Alright, Jin'an's temper is just like that, it's not your fault, don't you want me to take medicine while it's hot?"
Concubine Rou was interrupted and came to her senses. She immediately brought the bowl of medicine over.
Here, Lu Jingyu and Ouyang Rui came to the place where the assassins were imprisoned.
At that time, wild beasts appeared in the forest, alarming many nobles, and more than ten black-clad assassins took advantage of the chaos to assassinate Emperor Ming He.
These ten men are highly skilled in martial arts, one can defeat ten, and their methods are extremely brutal.
By the time Lu Jingyu and his men arrived, most of the loyal guards around Emperor Minghe had been killed or injured.
Emperor Minghe himself was also cut on the arm, but fortunately the wound was not deep.
But it was more than twenty guards who risked their lives to protect him.
Fortunately, Lu Jingyu brought a lot of people with him, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts, and with the arrival of reinforcements, more than half of the dozen assassins were killed and two escaped.
But three were captured alive.
Seeing that Lu Jingyu didn't mention interrogating the assassin for a long time, Ouyang Rui frowned and asked, "Young Master, what are you waiting for?"
Lu Jingyu picked up a cup of tea and said, "You'll know in a moment."
Ouyang Rui didn't understand at all.
Could it be that the Sixth Prince really had flirted with Lu Jingyu's wife, which caused him to behave abnormally?
Ouyang Rui had also heard about the marriage exchange at the Duke's Mansion last year.
But those were matters of the harem. Although he was a student of Duke Qin, he now had to take over Duke Qin's job and become the Minister of the Dali Temple.
He certainly wouldn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the women in the backyard of the Duke's mansion.
Now it seems that although it was a marriage exchange, in Lu Jingyu's heart, he married the right wife?
After a while, Eunuch Shun came rushing over. He whispered to Lu Jingyu, "Your Majesty, burn the sachet."
Lu Jingyu's handsome brows sank.
He understood that even if the Sixth Prince joined forces with outsiders to murder Emperor Minghe.
But because he was the last son, Emperor Ming He temporarily pretended that nothing had happened?
But today, Qing Ning almost died in the tiger's mouth!
Eunuch Shun also saw Lu Jingyu's unhappy face, and he whispered: "His Majesty said that he would compensate the lady."
After he finished speaking, he bowed and ran away quickly.
I was worried that if I ran too slowly, I might get beaten by the young master!
Don’t say that he is the chief steward of the emperor, but this young master just beat up the Sixth Prince.
After Eunuch Shun ran away, Lu Jingyu was indeed full of murderous intent and looked like he wanted to beat someone up. Ouyang Rui even took two steps to the side, staying away from him.
"Young Master, why don't we go and try him later?"
"No, go now."
As expected, the three men were beaten to death and no one said who ordered them to do so.
Ouyang Rui looked gloomy, "I don't know how to explain this to His Majesty."
Lu Jingyu: "Just tell the truth. Go and tell His Majesty that I'm injured and I went back to get bandaged."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Ouyang Rui had an inexplicable feeling that Lu Jingyu seemed to have been pissed off by someone?
On the way to the courtyard of Duke Qin's mansion, Lu Jingyu also felt the anger in his heart.
In fact, he also knew that His Majesty must have his reasons for not holding the Sixth Prince accountable this time.
But when he thought about how Gu Qingning almost got into trouble this time, Lu Jingyu couldn't calm down.
He returned to his residence with a cold face, and even when he met Lu Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying on the way, he ignored them.
Gu Qingning had originally planned to try the hot springs here and was having someone clean up the pool in the backyard.
Suddenly she heard that Lu Jingyu had returned, and she immediately went to meet him.
Because we have to soak in the pool, and in the inner room, outsiders will not come in.
So Gu Qingning had her long hair loose and wore only a light gauze dress. She looked soft and lovely, just like a ripe peach.
The moment Lu Jingyu saw her, for some reason, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Gu Qingning was thinking about what happened today. She asked with concern: "Jingyu, what happened to you?"
Lu Jingyu answered the question irrelevantly:
"Are you planning to take a hot spring bath?"
