Chapter 254 The Young Master is Crazy About Being Argued with Others
Emperor Minghe made his final move.
"Let's meet."
If things go wrong, this may be the last time these father and son see each other.
Lu Jingyu accompanied Emperor Minghe to the Tianlao, a prison cell specially used to detain royal family members.
This cell has the best conditions.
But at the same time, because it had been empty for so long, the ground was covered with dust and there were cobwebs on the railings.
Qin Xuanye was curled up on the stone bed, hugging his legs, wearing prison clothes, with his long hair loose.
Hearing the sound, he raised his head, saw the corner of the bright yellow clothes, and immediately knelt down crying.
"Father! I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!"
"You have always been doing this for the good of your son, but I didn't know it. I feel so ashamed of you!"
"Father, please give me one more chance! I will definitely listen to you!"
Qin Xuanye really regretted it.
If I had known earlier, my father would have planned to make me the crown prince a long time ago.
Even if he is pretending, he has to do things he doesn't like.
At worst, I can wait until he succeeds to the throne smoothly and then do what I want to do.
At that time, he was the emperor of Great Chu, and he was the biggest in the world!
No one can control how many women he wants to sleep with or who he wants to kill.
Instead of being a prisoner like now, with his life hanging in the balance.
Looking at the crying Third Prince, Emperor Minghe said gently: "It's good that you know you are wrong."
When Qin Xuanye heard this, he immediately raised his head excitedly.
"Father, are you willing to forgive me?"
Emperor Minghe: "Whether I forgive you depends on whether I am your father or not."
Qin Xuanye was dumbfounded.
A eunuch had already walked in, had someone hold Qin Xuanye down, and then took a drop of his blood.
Emperor Minghe said to Lu Jingyu: "Give me the dagger."
Eunuch Shun and others nearby wanted to stop him, after all, His Majesty's dragon body must not be hurt.
But Lu Jingyu had already handed over the dagger.
Eunuch Shun: “…”
Lu Jingyu, however, had a frank expression on his face, "This matter is very important, so His Majesty must come in person."
Emperor Minghe on this side also shed a drop of blood without blinking an eye.
Qin Xuanye had been released and he was grabbing the railing excitedly.
"Father, why do you doubt that I am not your son?"
"At the beginning, mother just switched Lu Jingyu and Qin Mingyue. I am your son!"
"Father, I was wrong to force the emperor to abdicate, but you cannot doubt that I am not your son! We are father and son!"
Looking at the excited Qin Xuanye, Emperor Ming He said nothing, but just looked at the two drops of blood quietly.
Lu Jingyu walked to the railing and said kindly:
"Third Prince, don't you know yet? The Sun Duo next to you is actually the son of Su Tanxin and Sun Jiufeng. He is your elder brother."
Qin Xuanye was dumbfounded and staggered back two steps.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Sun Jiufeng is a eunuch! Lu Jingyu, stop making up rumors and slandering my mother!"
Lu Jingyu: "Sun Jiufeng knew Su Tanxin before he entered the palace. They were childhood sweethearts. Although he is indeed a eunuch now, who knows if he was like this when he first entered the palace?"
Qin Xuanye was struck by lightning and looked stunned.
Lu Jingyu: "You still don't believe it? Otherwise, why do you think Sun Jiufeng is so loyal to Su Tanxin?"
"Oh, by the way, Sun Duo was also captured by us."
"He also confessed that because you had become a useless person, they had originally planned to have Sun Duo completely replace you after they succeeded in forcing you to abdicate."
Qin Xuanye's defense was completely broken.
He kept shaking his head.
"Mother would never do this to me, no!"
Lu Jingyu: "Why wouldn't she do this to you? You are all her sons anyway."
"Compared to a useless son and a healthy son who is both civil and military, who do you think Su Tanxin will choose?"
"What Su Tanxin loves most is never you, her son, or anyone else, but herself and power."
"You are her son, don't you know her?"
Qin Xuanye staggered and fell to the ground.
Yes, what his mother values most is power.
Far above all else.
Seeing Lu Jingyu scolding the Third Prince like this, the people around felt a little bit sorry for him.
Did the third prince offend him before?
Otherwise, how could Lu Jingyu have stimulated the Third Prince to such a horrible state!
At this moment, the two drops of blood did not merge together for a long time.
Emperor Minghe completely gave up.
He stood up and walked out.
The Third Prince prostrated himself on the ground, weeping bitterly, and begged towards Emperor Minghe’s back, stretching out his hand:
"Father, you watched me grow up. I am your favorite son!"
"I am not Sun Jiufeng's son."
"I am your son, Father..."
But no one paid any attention to Qin Xuanye, and his miserable cries echoed throughout the cell.
After Emperor Minghe came out of the Heavenly Prison, he seemed to have aged all of a sudden.
He even staggered a bit.
Lu Jingyu wanted to reach out to help him.
Emperor Minghe waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. It's just that I've been deceived by Su Tanxin for many years."
"In my heart, although the person I care about most is the late queen, I also treated Concubine Rou and Concubine Jin better later on."
"But the one I love the most is Su Tanxin."
Lu Jingyu pursed his lips and said, "Looking at it this way, it's all your fault for doting on too many people. You should dote on them less."
Emperor Minghe: "..."
How come this bastard always has a way to make his sadness disappear in an instant?
He said unhappily, "Are you standing up for Concubine Rou?"
Lu Jingyu: "I dare not."
Emperor Minghe: "You are not timid, you are much braver!"
Lu Jingyu: "I don't dare to do that either."
Emperor Minghe: "..."
How could I have thought that this boy was a loyal and honest general?
Loyalty is there, but it is not honest at all.
However, Jing Yu's appearance, who seems rough but meticulous, brave and resourceful, yet always calm and self-controlled... is really like him.
Emperor Minghe sighed, "Send the testimonies of others to me."
Lu Jingyu: “Yes.”
Emperor Minghe: "Then you go to Concubine Rou first, and when this matter is over, announce to the public that your status as a prince has been restored."
To deal with the Third Prince's faction, too many ministers are involved.
This also involves the Su family’s affairs.
It is not something that can be handled in two or three days.
Lu Jingyu: "Has Concubine Rou known about this?"
Emperor Minghe remembered how happy she was like a child and nodded.
"Well, she's very happy. You can talk to her for a while. After a while, when everything is done, let Qing Ning come to the palace to accompany her."
"Yes, I will take you back to the imperial study first."
Lu Jingyu took the confessions and escorted Emperor Minghe back to the imperial study. After putting down the confessions, he left.
Emperor Minghe looked at his back.
He said calmly, "Ah Shun, remember to tell that imperial physician not to talk nonsense."
Eunuch Shun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Li doesn't know what the use of asking me for that thing is."
Emperor Minghe: "Yeah."
He picked up Qin Xuanye's memorial.
When the blood test was performed just now, Emperor Minghe had someone put a special medicine in the bowl.
That is the secret medicine of the Imperial Hospital.
In other words, no matter which two people's blood drips into this bowl, it will not be compatible.
Emperor Minghe actually no longer cared whether Aye was his son or not.
But he wanted to make A Ye give up this idea and never covet the throne again.
Because if he continues to covet it, Aye will surely die.
This was probably the last gift he left to his son after they had been father and son for more than 20 years.
At the same time, Lu Jingyu asked Luo Shui to lead the way to Concubine Rou's Qiulu Palace.
Luo Shui turned his head and looked at him, "Young Master, are you nervous?"
Lu Jingyu looked at him speechlessly, "Why am I nervous?"
Luo Shui couldn't help laughing, "You usually walk very fast, so it only takes a short while to reach this distance, but now you are walking too slowly."
Luo Shui really wanted to say, you are now walking in slow steps, as even a lady from a noble family would do.
But he didn't dare say it, fearing that he would be beaten.
Lu Jingyu sighed, "I have been without a mother since I was a child, and then my stepmother was not nice to me either. I finally got used to it all, and now a mother suddenly pops up."
Moreover, she is a gentle woman with a very gentle temperament who cries easily.
Lu Jingyu really didn't know how to face it.
Luo Shui: "Young Master, don't be nervous. Concubine Rou is very easy to get along with. I will accompany you."
Lu Jingyu looked at him with disdain, "What's the point of having you accompany me?"
If only Qing Ning was with him now.
But no matter what, the road from the Imperial Study to Qiulu Palace is not long.
Still got there.
While waiting for someone to go in and report, the palace maid's chess ideas came out after a while.
Like Qin Xin, Qi Yi was also someone Lu Jingyu specially sent to be by Concubine Rou's side.
Qi Yi bowed and saluted, "Young Master, the Queen is not in the palace now. She went to the Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother. She didn't say when she will be back."
Lu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief inconspicuously.
"Then tell the queen that I have been here. But it's nothing. I will bring my wife to visit the queen in a few days."
"yes."
Cining Palace.
Concubine Rou had no idea that Lu Jingyu was coming to visit her. She was accompanying the Queen Mother to pick Buddha beans.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Rou who was happily picking up Buddha beans. She smiled and asked, "Concubine Rou, are you in a good mood today?"
Concubine Rou nodded.
Queen Mother: "Have you recognized Jing Yu?"
Concubine Rou: "Not yet. His Majesty said that they will be very busy during this period. When they are done, they will let Jingyu and his wife come to the palace to recognize me."
The Queen Mother: "As you should. Let them come to the Cining Palace again later."
Concubine Rou quickly agreed.
Just at this moment, a palace maid ran in hurriedly with a panicked look on her face.
Sun Fuhai frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You scared the two masters, do you want to hide your skin?"
The little palace maid immediately knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother raised her hand to signal that Sun Fuhai was fine, and asked the little palace maid.
"what happens?"
The little palace maid said, "Princess Jin'an is on a hunger strike. We must let her out. She hasn't eaten for two days and she just fainted!"
Concubine Rou, who was picking up Buddha beans, dropped the beans in her hand with a click.
The smile on her lips gradually faded...
