Chapter 241 Assassination of Emperor Minghe?
Finally, under Qiu Shui's persuasion, the Ninth Prince decided to hold back for the time being and go and find out about Concubine Su's situation first.
Besides, even if you want to kill Lu Jingyu, you have to plan it carefully.
In fact, Concubine Su was indeed deposed.
Even though she was not sent to the cold palace and still held the position of concubine, everyone around her was transferred away.
The once prosperous Yiku Palace is now empty and exudes a gloomy atmosphere.
Su Fei was locked in the house and wanted to smash things.
But he found that most of the teacups in the house were smashed by her.
“Aaaaaaah!”
Concubine Su fell to the ground, and the red hairpins in her hair scattered all over the floor.
She was in a very miserable state, her eyes, misty with water, were filled with anger and grievance.
"Mingming dotes on me the most. Mingming always forgives me no matter what mistakes I make."
"Your Majesty, why are you so cruel to me this time?"
"Jiang Yurou! Chen Ya! You two bitches must have bewitched His Majesty! You will both die a miserable death!"
"When I make a comeback, I will definitely not let you off!"
**
Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Minghe in surprise, "Don't you favor Concubine Su the most?"
"Why, after taking away her position as a concubine, you actually locked her up?"
"If you do this, aren't you worried that those who have received favors from the Su family will refute you in the court tomorrow?"
"Emperor, what did Concubine Su do to make you so angry?"
Seeing the empress dowager's worried look, Emperor Minghe asked all the palace maids to leave and he sighed.
"Mother, actually Concubine Rou gave me a son, but Concubine Su took him away!"
"What?!"
The Queen Mother was so excited that she almost tore the Buddhist beads in her hand apart.
Emperor Minghe hurried to comfort her.
"Mother, don't get excited. I have already sent someone to check the whereabouts of the child. So, you should also know why I temporarily locked Mingyue in your palace, right?"
The Queen Mother was stunned: "How could Concubine Su do such a heinous thing!"
Although shocked, the Queen Mother was well aware of the struggles in the harem, many of which involved dishonorable means.
She immediately understood why Su Fei did this.
Or for the throne.
Emperor Minghe comforted her, "Mother, please don't be angry, and don't hurt yourself. That's my fault."
"I originally thought that I would tell you about this matter after I found the child completely."
"But I thought you must be very confused about Mingyue's matter. Now there is Su Fei's matter, so I told you in advance."
The Queen Mother's eyes were red, "That child, is he still alive?"
Emperor Minghe: "Alive! Actually, I already have some clues. I just need some evidence. The truth will come out soon. Don't worry."
The Queen Mother nodded and quickly calmed down.
"You still have to face the civil and military officials tomorrow, investigate matters concerning the child, and handle government affairs. It's really tiring. Go back and rest early."
"Mingyue will stay in the Cining Palace for now."
"If there are things going on in the harem, Concubine Chen is young and they have nothing to understand, so let them come to me."
"It's hard enough for you to take care of the affairs of state. I'm here in the harem and I won't let them mess around."
Emperor Minghe: "How can I trouble you, mother?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and choked up, saying, "Although I am old, I am still useful. Besides, you must find that child. That child has suffered so much..."
**
Lu Mansion.
The 'child with a miserable life' was currently lying on the bed.
Gu Qingning let Lu Jingyu rest his head on her legs, and she pressed several acupoints on his head.
"Is this more comfortable?"
"Um."
Lu Jingyu's illness is a hidden disease that he suffered from when he was young, going to the battlefield too early and witnessing too many cruel things.
The Duke of Qin had always blamed his eldest son for Su's death, so he didn't care about his young age and sent him to the battlefield.
Since Feng was the stepmother, she didn't care even more about Lu Jingyu's life or death.
In fact, she probably wished Lu Jingyu would die on the battlefield.
If Emperor Minghe knew long ago that Lu Jingyu was his son, would he still let him go to the battlefield at such a young age...
Lu Jingyu suddenly touched Gu Qingning and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Qingning came back to her senses and did not tell anyone about Lu Jingyu's hidden illness.
She said, "I was thinking, what if the Ninth Prince thinks that Concubine Su is using him, and that he is the only one who benefits from the conflict between the two? What if he doesn't take action?"
"The Ninth Prince has always been cautious, so he might not take action." Lu Jingyu narrowed his eyes and said softly, "If he insists on retreating into his shell, there is nothing I can do, because he can also blame Concubine Su for wanting to kill me."
The only way is to sacrifice the Xu family.
The Ninth Prince was able to develop so many forces under the nose of Emperor Minghe, and even contacted some people in the martial arts world.
It can be seen that he is not an impulsive person.
Gu Qingning's hand paused slightly.
"So even Concubine Su can't be dealt with completely?"
The matter of exchanging children has indeed made His Majesty furious.
But if Emperor Minghe still had feelings for her, the final result might even be to banish her to the cold palace.
However, she is just sent to the cold palace, and maybe she can make a comeback in the future.
The third prince was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, but he was still a prince after all.
Kill the enemy with one strike and never give them any chance to counterattack!
Giving the enemy opportunities means leaving yourself in danger.
Lu Jingyu opened his eyes and pinched Gu Qingning's fingers.
"If the Ninth Prince doesn't kill me, then he can instigate the Third Prince to do it."
Go and kill Emperor He of Ming.
Gu Qingning's eyes narrowed and her fingertips trembled slightly.
"He is your father..."
"He has many secret guards around him, so nothing will go wrong. And I think he also hopes to completely overthrow the Su family this time."
When the Su family withdrew from the court, they were actually just retreating to advance.
After the third prince ascended the throne, the first thing the Su family did was to return to the court.
So all along, even though Concubine Su was just a woman and the Third Prince was not good enough, they always had many ministers supporting them behind them.
Emperor Minghe had always known everything.
In fact, the Ninth Prince has always been very wary of this.
That’s why there were banquets like the previous ones, where some ministers were secretly won over.
The power of the Sixth Prince was growing tenaciously between the two forces.
They originally thought it was a three-way fight for the throne.
But now, the biggest change has occurred.
Lu Jingyu is the biggest change.
Gu Qingning: "You need to go to the palace to discuss this matter with His Majesty. It is better to be cautious."
Lu Jingyu: "Well, don't worry."
He pulled the person into his arms and kissed him.
He is not alone now, he has a wife and a daughter.
Therefore, he must be cautious in every step he takes in the future.
Gu Qingning snuggled in his arms, thinking about the Lin family's affairs, the truth was about to come to light.
I feel a little excited and a little emotional.
I can finally comfort my family.
Lu Jingyu suddenly asked, "Recently, the Duke's Mansion seems to be quite honest?"
Gu Qingning: "They should have lived an honest and down-to-earth life. When your identity is announced, the title will be returned to them, and I will also return the housekeeper power to the Feng family."
If Feng and Shen Ruoying knew about this in the future, would they regret their previous actions?
Regret may be real regret.
But it does not affect their continued messing around.
Feng's health improved a little, but Concubine Su did not invite her to the hairpin flower banquet this time.
Feng was very depressed.
"It's all Gu Qingning's fault. She took away the housekeeper's power in the Duke's Mansion and even after I moved out, she still wouldn't let me down. It's so annoying!"
"Now, I guess all the noble ladies in the capital are laughing at me!"
Feng Yuaner was sitting next to them, eating a bowl of Tremella and milk jelly soup.
She said vaguely: "Aunt, you don't have to be envious. Concubine Su has always hated Gu Qingning."
"I guess it's not a good idea to specially invite her there."
"We won't go. If something unexpected happens, it won't have anything to do with us."
When Feng heard this, she immediately felt that it made sense.
"You're right! It would be best if Concubine Su did something to Gu Qingning. If Gu Qingning is no longer able to do it, then wouldn't the stewardship of the Duke's Mansion be returned to me?"
Feng had a nice idea and even took out her Buddhist beads and planned to pray.
Last time she prayed to Buddha to let Gu Qingning give birth to a daughter, it worked!
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a spoon hitting a porcelain bowl. Feng looked over and frowned slightly.
"Yuan'er, why do I notice that you have gained a lot of weight recently? Have you been eating too much?"
Feng Yuaner: "Didn't you say I was skinny and told me to eat more? Besides, I'm probably fat because of the twins!"
Feng's attention was quickly drawn to the twins.
He was immediately delighted and felt very proud.
"Our Yuan'er is really amazing. She got pregnant with twins right away! It would be great if she could have two boys at once. This way, she can finally hold her head high in the eyes of the eldest wife!"
Feng Yuaner curled the corners of her mouth slightly and touched her belly.
"I would prefer twins, a boy and a girl."
"It's fine if they're twins, boy and girl!"
The two of them were talking happily and didn't mention the fact that Feng Yuaner ate a lot.
In fact, at the beginning Feng Yuaner did have the idea of competing with Gu Qingning.
But later, as my appetite grew, I did eat a lot every day.
And they are all very nutritious things.
After Shen Ruoying learned about this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Eat, eat.
When the day comes when the fruit is ripe, that will be the day you die!
In addition, Shen Ruoying was also looking forward to the fact that Gu Qingning might be harassed by Concubine Su when she entered the palace.
However, they were all disappointed.
Because the next day, the stewards who went to the Lu Mansion came back and reported to Feng that the eldest young lady was fine.
Steward: "Nothing should have happened. Everything seems to be normal in the mansion."
Feng looked depressed, "Could it be that Concubine Su is planning to reconcile with her?"
"Really? How come you all forget about the past?"
"Why don't you continue fighting?"
