Chapter 102 Refusing to Take a Concubine
Gu Qingning felt a little uncomfortable, but she still looked at Lu Jingyu calmly:
"Jing Yu, what's going on?"
Lu Jingyu: "Concubine Su intends to arrange a marriage for me during His Majesty's selection of concubines."
Gu Qingning: "..."
Lu Jingyu quickly explained: "She is taking revenge on me. She thinks the Third Prince's imprisonment is related to me."
In fact, it is indeed related to Lu Jingyu.
Concubine Su has always been cunning and scheming, and she is always calculating in the details when doing things.
This is why, even if the third prince was imprisoned, as long as Concubine Su was still there, the third prince might have a chance to turn things around.
To be honest, Gu Qingning has always had a very bad impression of Concubine Su.
She suddenly remembered something:
"Jing Yu, if I hadn't gone to your place during the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, I might have run into Prince Consort He Ming while taking Chinese medicine."
"I remember you said that Concubine Su was behind this. I couldn't figure it out later. I didn't offend Concubine Su. After thinking about it, I think she might have been targeting you at that time."
"Why does she hate you so much? Is it because of the Third Prince's fight for the throne?"
Lu Jingyu shook his head. "I thought so before, but she seems to hate me so much. It's definitely not just about the Third Prince's fight for the throne. I've asked someone to investigate."
Gu Qingning: "What do you plan on doing regarding the arranged marriage?"
If Lu Jingyu cannot disobey the order and can only divorce his wife and remarry...
Lu Jingyu: "I already have a wife, and I don't want to take a concubine. I have already informed your majesty of this matter."
Gu Qingning: "But Your Majesty, hasn't you always favored Concubine Su?"
Even though the Third Prince had committed such a huge scandal, His Majesty did not vent his anger on Concubine Su at all, which shows that he really cares about her.
Lu Jingyu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty knows what's best for you."
At this time in the Yikun Palace, Concubine Su was gently serving food to Emperor Minghe.
Emperor Minghe: "You don't have to come in person, just let the palace maids come."
Concubine Su laughed sweetly, "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty. Besides, those young sisters will enter the palace in a while, and I will not be able to serve Your Majesty even if I want to."
Emperor Minghe was helpless, "What nonsense are you talking about? I won't ignore you."
Concubine Su: "I know that your majesty cares about me the most."
Emperor Minghe: "It's good that you know, so don't let your mind wander and don't interfere in the marriage of your subjects."
The smile on Concubine Su's face froze, "Your Majesty, when did I ever interfere in my marriage? Ah, are you talking about arranging a marriage for Jing Yu? But he is my nephew."
Counting from Lu Jingyu's biological mother, Su, this is indeed the relationship.
Emperor Minghe: "But Jingyu already has a wife, but you want to appoint Jiamin as Jingyu's wife. You clearly know that Jingyu doesn't like Jiamin and they don't get along. Are you sure you are doing this for Jingyu's good, or are you taking revenge on Jingyu because of the matter with the third brother?"
Concubine Su did not expect that Emperor Minghe would directly point out this matter!
She immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I did not seek revenge on Jing Yu. Ah Ye did something wrong, and it is only natural for you to punish him. I dare not make any comments. You must be doing this for his own good!"
Emperor Minghe personally helped her up and said, "It's right for you to think so. So, don't get involved in Jingyu's marriage, so as to avoid misunderstandings."
Concubine Su's mouth twitched, but she still argued:
"But Your Majesty, I have already mentioned this to Princess Jiamin, and she agreed. Besides, Gu's status is too low, not worthy of Jingyu!"
Emperor Minghe said meaningfully: "Only his wife's family has no power, so I can use him with confidence."
Concubine Su didn't expect there was such a layer in this, and immediately said with great fear:
"It's all my fault. I almost delayed your majesty's important event. Don't worry, I will never mention this matter again."
"Yes, that's right. As for Jiamin, just say that it was Jingyu who rejected her. This way, she won't blame you, but Jingyu."
"yes."
After Emperor Minghe finished his meal, Concubine Su respectfully saw him off.
After the bright yellow figure disappeared, Concubine Su raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth:
"I thought His Majesty trusted Lu Jingyu very much, but now it seems that he just treats him as a knife."
Sun Jiufeng bent over and said, "But the fact that His Majesty has placed such high regard on him still makes me feel uneasy."
Concubine Su also thought of something, and the smile on her face faded slightly:
"How did your brother do it before? Wasn't the poison enough?"
Sun Jiufeng: "Poison should not be a problem, but it is said that after Lu Jingyu was injured, he met a miracle doctor."
Concubine Su's eyes were filled with sinister intent. "He is really lucky, but he will definitely not be so lucky next time! For now, tell your brother not to act rashly and look for an opportunity later."
"yes."
**
The Duke's Mansion.
Butler Lu Yun had just dealt with something and was walking back when he saw Mo Yu climbing over the wall.
He tried to make the smile on his face gentler, "Little Mo Yu, are you out doing some work for the eldest young lady's wife?"
Although Lu Yun looked very kind, Mo Yu instinctively disliked this man.
He snorted, ignored the other person, and jumped over a corridor.
Lu Yun actually walked over quickly, "Xiao Mo Yu, do you really have no other family? By the way, where are you from? I haven't figured out your accent yet."
Mo Yu: “Annoying!”
Lu Yun: "Xiao Moyu, I have no ill intentions. You and I both work in the Duke's Mansion. We are considered a family."
Mo Yu: "Disdain."
The smile on Lu Yun’s face was about to disappear, but he was really too curious about this child.
After all, this person looks too much like the one he killed back then.
The age is similar.
After he first met Mo Yu, he asked someone to investigate, and it turned out that the other party was the poor child that the young master rescued in another place.
It is obvious that he has nothing to do with the person he killed.
Could it be that there really are people in this world who look so similar?
Here, Mo Yu used his Qinggong skills to finally get rid of Lu Yun. After returning to Songtao Pavilion, the boy was in a bad mood.
Gu Qingning teased him, "Who made our Mo Yu angry?"
Mo Yu pointed outside, "That housekeeper asked me if my whole family was dead! His whole family was dead!"
Mo Yu usually doesn't talk much, but this time he said so much at once, which shows that he is really angry.
Gu Qingning was stunned.
She had mentioned this to Lu Jingyu before, but they didn't seem to find anything useful, and Lu Yun only said that Mo Yu looked very much like someone he had known before.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine.
Could it be that the person who made Lu Yun so upset was very important to him?
Gu Qingning treated Mo Yu as her own brother, so she cared a lot about this matter and mentioned it to Lu Jingyu again that night.
She added:
"I have a medicine that can make people tell the truth. I plan to give it to Lu Yun to try. Do you agree?"
