Chapter 260 Jing Yu is my son (regret)
Lu Jingyu nodded.
When everyone in Guangping Marquis's Mansion learned about this, they were shocked.
But in the past few days, Lu Jingyu was busy dealing with the affairs of the Third Prince's faction.
Only at this time will I have the opportunity to ask.
Guangping Hou frowned, "So in this case, she used the identity of the Gu family's daughter and deceived us all along?"
Lu Jingyu looked at him coldly and said, "I apologize to you on behalf of Qing Ning for this matter."
"But fortunately, you didn't suffer any loss. You didn't treat her well in the beginning."
He apologized lightly and not very sincerely, and then stabbed you without hesitation.
The corner of Marquis Guangping's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Even after so much time, they still haven't adapted.
Lu Jingyu is obviously a warrior, but he is very good at confronting people.
Marquis Guangping didn't dare to confront Lu Jingyu, nor could he defeat him, so he turned around and looked at Duke Qin with resentment.
"My Lord, do you usually not take care of him?"
Duke Qin said calmly, "It's okay, you'll get used to it."
There's nothing I can do about it anyway.
Marquis of Guangping: “…”
Just at this moment, His Majesty arrived.
All the ministers immediately returned to their seats, holding their tablets, and filed into the main hall to begin the court session.
After the court meeting resolved some routine matters, Emperor Minghe's eyes swept over Lu Jingyu who was standing below.
"Today, there is something that concerns my family that I want to discuss with you, my dear ministers."
The ministers were stunned.
What can you tell them about your Majesty's family affairs?
Could it be that His Majesty is planning to hold another beauty contest, hoping to have more offspring?
Once this idea came to mind, everyone began to get restless again, thinking about which women in the clan were of appropriate age to enter the palace.
Emperor Minghe glanced at them and said slowly:
"The guilty concubine Su confessed one thing before committing suicide."
"That is, more than 20 years ago, she swapped the son born to Concubine Rou with the daughter born to her cousin Su."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Everyone's eyes fell on Duke Qin and Lu Jingyu in surprise!
Lu Jingyu still stood straight, but Duke Qin beside him staggered and almost fell.
Lu Jingyu reached out and supported him.
Emperor Minghe also looked at Duke Qin, "Lord Lu, when I learned about this, I was also shocked."
"All of this is the fault of Concubine Su."
"Fortunately, she has committed suicide out of fear of crime, which can be regarded as an explanation to you."
Duke Qin's hand was tightly grasping Lu Jingyu's arm, and his head was buzzing.
After a long time, he gradually heard the sound.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
Emperor Minghe nodded, "I have already done a blood test with Jingyu, and I have confirmed that Mingyue is not the daughter of me and Concubine Rou."
"After the court is dismissed, you stay."
Duke Qin didn't know how he nodded and he felt dazed.
Everyone in the court had different thoughts.
Some people also secretly went to see the Ninth Prince Qin Kun.
However, Qin Kun looked calm and composed, as if he had known about this matter for a long time?
But no matter what, if Lu Jingyu is His Majesty's son, then he will immediately become a popular candidate for the throne!
In the hall, besides Duke Qin who was in a trance, there was another person who almost lost his composure after hearing about this.
That’s Marquis Guangping!
The tablet in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Lu Jingyu is a prince?
He is actually a prince!
In other words, if Ruoying had not been so willful and insisted on remarrying Lu Hangzhi, then Ruoying would be Lu Jingyu's wife now.
That is, the future princess.
Even if Lu Jingyu was named the crown prince...
Then didn't he have the opportunity to become the emperor's father-in-law?
So, when His Majesty said "dismiss the court", Marquis Guangping's eyes rolled back and he fainted!
The others hurriedly helped Marquis Guangping up and went to call the imperial physician.
But everyone knew clearly why Marquis Guangping behaved like this.
What could it be? He must be deeply regretful.
Duke Qin here is also dizzy, but after all, he is more useful than Marquis Guangping.
After the court session, he was supported by Lu Jingyu to go to the side hall to rest, and he looked at Lu Jingyu quietly.
"Jing Yu, you knew this a long time ago?"
Lu Jingyu: "It's not too early. I learned about it when I was investigating and interrogating Su Tanxin's accomplices."
Duke Qin was somewhat resentful, "Then why didn't you tell me this morning when you were in the carriage?"
It will also help him to be mentally prepared.
Lu Jingyu: "In fact, it's only an hour earlier, so it doesn't make any difference."
Duke Guo of Qin: "..."
Duke Qin had been bullied by this kid for more than ten years, and he was used to it. After hearing this, he said quietly:
"It's nothing for you to talk to me like this. But don't ever say that in front of His Majesty."
Lu Jingyu: "I have an idea in mind."
Duke Qin was silent for a while, and a strong anger appeared on his face.
"How could Su Tanxin do this? They were sisters who had the best relationship!"
"She actually swapped the baby. She really deserves to die!"
Lu Jingyu: "It's mainly because she's too greedy."
"How are you? Are you feeling better now? I saw Marquis Guangping fainted just now. It seems that you are much stronger than him."
Duke Qin glared at him unhappily.
In fact, my legs are still a little weak.
But he would not tell that brat Lu Jingyu!
Lu Jingyu: "If you are sure you are feeling better, I will tell you one more thing."
Duke Qin: "If you have anything to say, just speak directly. Don't hesitate. Although I am old, I am still useful."
Lu Jingyu: "My mother died early, and you have always blamed me for it."
After hearing this, Duke Qin looked embarrassed.
"Su and I were young couples, and we had a deep affection for each other. I was naturally sad when she died young. Besides, I didn't know at that time that you were not my biological son."
Lu Jingyu nodded, "In fact, I have always felt guilty before, and I also think that my mother's death was all my fault."
"So over the years, no matter how biased you were towards Hang Zhi, I told myself that I shouldn't care."
"Sometimes, it was clearly Hangzhi who made the mistake, but Feng protected him and you pretended not to know. I also told myself not to be angry with you."
Duke Qin's eyes were complicated, "Jing Yu..."
Lu Jingyu continued, "But, my mother had just given birth and fell asleep. She woke up halfway through and happened to see Su Tanxin asking someone to swap the baby."
Afterwards, he recounted everything that Su Tanxin and Sun Jiufeng had confessed.
Duke Qin's eyes turned red and the corners of his mouth trembled with excitement.
"So, Su Tanxin was so cruel that she actually killed her own cousin?"
The Su family is from the direct line, while Su Tanxin is from the side branch.
But the two sisters have had a very good relationship since childhood, and Su would take this cousin with her wherever she went to play.
But who would have thought...
Lu Jingyu looked at the grief-stricken Duke Qin and he didn't know how to comfort him.
After thinking for a while, she took out a handkerchief to wipe Duke Qin's tears.
But suddenly I remembered that this handkerchief was embroidered for me by Qing Ning herself!
He held the handkerchief in his hand, half handed it out, and then took it back.
The sad Duke of Qin: "..."
**
Qiulu Palace.
When Gu Qingning just arrived at the door, the head palace maid Qin Xin had already come out to greet her.
She smiled gently, "Princess, the Queen has been waiting for you."
Gu Qingning nodded.
He walked quickly inside and soon entered the main hall, but Concubine Rou had already stood up to greet him.
She held Gu Qingning's hand and choked with excitement.
"Qing Ning, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
As Concubine Rou spoke, tears started to fall from her eyes.
Gu Qingning quickly took the handkerchief handed to her by Qin Xin and helped Concubine Rou wipe her tears.
"My lady, please don't be sad. Everything is over, and the bad guys have received the punishment they deserve."
"Your future blessings will all be in the future."
Concubine Rou: "Yes, I know, I know, I am happy about this."
"Two days ago, after I found out the truth, I really wanted to see you and Jing Yu."
"Your Majesty asked me to be patient for now, and said that this matter will be announced to the world today."
"Qing Ning, you don't know that Ming Yue has never been close to me for so many years and has always hated me. This is a wound in my heart."
"I have always blamed myself, thinking it must be because I am not good enough that my own daughter hates me like this."
Gu Qingning supported her and sat her on the Arhat couch.
She said gently: "My lady, it's not your fault. It's all the bad guys' fault."
"You are very nice, really. When I first recognized you as my stepmother, I fell in love with you at first sight."
"I lost my mother a long time ago, and it was only from you that I felt the love of a mother again."
As she spoke, Gu Qingning's eyes turned slightly red.
Concubine Rou also knew about Gu Qingning's family affairs. Seeing her red eyes, she felt extremely guilty.
"Qing Ning, it's all my fault. I'm going to make you cry."
"Also, everything that happened to your Lin family is my fault. I was the one who harmed them!"
Gu Qingning wiped the tears from Concubine Rou's eyes and said very rationally:
"This matter should still be blamed on Su Tanxin and the people who wanted to kill the Lin family at that time. You are the only one not among them."
"My lady, you are also a victim."
Now Su Tanxin and his group have been brought to justice.
But Gu Qingning knew that revenge was only half done.
The remaining half lies with the Ninth Prince.
In other words, the Ninth Prince was actually the instigator of the Lin family tragedy and Gu Qingning's biggest enemy.
Even if Concubine Rou had not given birth to a child, and even if Su Tanxin had not wanted to swap the child, the Ninth Prince would still want to kill the Lin family.
Of course, there is no need to tell Concubine Rou about all this right now.
After a while, Concubine Rou stopped crying and finally calmed down. She asked the palace maid to bring her warm water.
After both of them washed their faces, they re-dressed and tidied themselves up.
Concubine Rou held Gu Qingning's hand and said, "Qingning, you should change your tone and call me mother from now on."
Gu Qingning nodded, "Yes, mother."
Concubine Rou was filled with emotion.
"Speaking of which, we are destined to be together. No wonder I saw that the teardrop mole on the corner of Xiao Xiyao's eye looked so similar to my elder sister."
Blood relationship is such a magical thing.
At this time, Shun Gonggong came over to pass on the message:
"Your Highness, Princess, His Majesty has summoned you to the Cining Palace. The others have already gone there."
Gu Qingning and Concubine Rou looked at each other.
What is coming has finally come!
