Chapter 162 Something happened to Gu Qingning?
Gu Qingning knew that Concubine Su was always like this. She would put someone on the stand with just a few words.
Make it difficult for you to refuse.
Seeing that Gu Qingning did not answer immediately, Concubine Su added with a smile.
"Why, Qing Ning, are you worried that I and Sister Rou Fei will harm you?"
Gu Qingning: "..."
It’s really amazing. After lifting her up, he also blocked her retreat.
And if something really happened to her in the palace today, Concubine Su would definitely blame Concubine Rou.
Gu Qingning glanced at Luo Shui beside her and nodded with a smile.
But before he could say anything, he suddenly covered his stomach with a look of pain on his face.
"Forehead!"
"Lime, what's wrong with you?"
"Quick, go call the doctor!"
Concubine Rou and others became nervous and busy in an instant, only Concubine Su was looking at Gu Qingning, who looked painful and had a slightly pale face.
Why is Gu Qingning already feeling uncomfortable even though she hasn't even started to do anything?
At the same time, in the imperial study, Emperor Minghe put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Lu Jingyu.
"Jing Yu, who do you think is the most suitable person for the Princess of Southern Xinjiang to marry after she arrives?"
Lu Jingyu: "It's all right. I don't understand this."
Emperor Minghe was so angry that he laughed, "Stop pretending. You have more schemes than those civil officials. If you don't tell me the rules, I will let you marry the Princess of Southern Xinjiang!"
Lu Jingyu raised his head helplessly, "Your Majesty, please don't joke. I already have a wife. When I was fighting before, I killed so many people in Southern Xinjiang. If I really marry the princess of Southern Xinjiang, I am worried that she will stab me to death in the middle of the night."
Emperor Minghe: "Okay, tell me what you think."
Lu Jingyu: "The Third Prince is not suitable, the Sixth Prince is ready to make a move, and the Ninth Prince is too old... But there are still many young and handsome sons in the royal family's side branches."
Southern Xinjiang had been fighting with Da Chu for many years, and suddenly asked for peace. This was abnormal and there must be something fishy going on.
Have to be on guard.
But if the Princess of Southern Xinjiang ended up marrying a member of the royal branch who had no real power and nothing to do with the throne.
No matter what tricks the other party has, they can't be used.
Emperor Minghe stroked his beard and said, "The spy who almost wiped out your entire army in the last battle, he might avoid suspicion now that the Princess of Southern Xinjiang is here."
Lu Jingyu: "Maybe he will do the opposite and take the initiative to contact the people of Southern Xinjiang. On the surface, he wants to marry the princess of Southern Xinjiang, but in fact, he wants to confuse us and achieve his goal."
Emperor Minghe laughed softly, "If that's the case, it seems the thief is still unapologetic."
Lu Jingyu: "Your Majesty, rest assured. Once the envoys from Southern Xinjiang arrive in the capital, I will have someone secretly monitor them to see who will contact them."
Emperor Minghe: "Yeah."
After finishing the business, it was time for lunch.
Lu Jingyu was a close minister to the emperor, so naturally he often ate with him.
But at this moment, Eunuch Shun came in with a complicated expression. He leaned close to Emperor Minghe's ear and whispered softly.
Emperor Minghe's eyes fell on Lu Jingyu, "Qing Ning seems to have had an accident with Concubine Rou, let's go over and take a look."
Lu Jingyu nodded, but his eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.
Emperor Minghe watched it calmly.
When they arrived at Concubine Rou's bedroom, Lu Jingyu did not go in immediately to avoid suspicion.
Concubine Rou and Concubine Su both came out to greet them.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Minghe raised his hand, "What's going on?"
Concubine Rou: "Qing Ning suddenly felt unwell. I have asked the imperial physician to come and see her. He said she caught a cold and was frightened, but fortunately she is not seriously ill. It is also my fault for being too careless."
Emperor Minghe knew that Concubine Rou was soft-hearted and would blame himself first for any mistakes, so he waved his hand.
"Where is Qing Ning now? Jing Yu is worried about her, so he sent someone to take him over to check on her."
Concubine Rou stopped talking and looked at Lu Jingyu apologetically, "Qing Ning is resting in the side hall now. Let Qiong Zhi lead the way for you."
Lu Jingyu bowed and took his leave, then followed the palace maid Qiongzhi to the side hall.
Qiongzhi walked beside him, looking at the dignified Lu Jingyu, she said softly: "Young Master, please don't blame my queen, she didn't expect that the princess would suddenly feel unwell."
Lu Jingyu had no intention of blaming Concubine Rou, and Concubine Su was also present just now.
If Qing Ning really gets into trouble, then Concubine Su cannot be separated from the cause.
But why is it that the personal maidservant beside Concubine Rou is hoping that he will blame Concubine Rou?
Lu Jingyu didn't say anything, still looking cold and indifferent. Qiongzhi didn't dare to say anything more until she sent the man to the side hall.
In the side hall, the imperial physician had just left and Gu Qingning was lying on the soft couch in the warm room, with Banxia guarding there with a worried look on her face.
When Banxia saw Lu Jingyu coming, she immediately bowed and saluted, then went out very sensibly.
He also found an excuse to coax Qiongzhi away when she tried to stay at the door and was unwilling to leave.
Lu Jingyu: "Qing Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Qingning had opened her eyes. Her complexion was still not very good, but her expression was calm.
"Concubine Su wanted to set a Hongmen Banquet for me, so I took the opportunity to pretend to be sick."
Wei Shuhe had previously taught Gu Qingning how to make his pulse unstable.
Combined with the fact that Qin Mingyue had come to make trouble before and almost hit her with a teacup, she was quite frightened.
These are all facts.
The combination of truth and falsehood makes the whole thing more real and credible.
Even though Concubine Su specially consulted several imperial doctors, they were unable to detect any problem.
Lu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
When Gu Qingning thought of what she had just said to Concubine Rou, she looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Jingyu, let's go back home. I have something important to tell you."
"Um."
Gu Qingning was "frightened", so Lu Jingyu took the opportunity to ask for leave from Emperor Minghe and accompany her back to the palace. Naturally, Emperor Minghe did not refuse.
After the young couple left, Concubine Su said in a gloomy tone:
"Speaking of which, Qing Ning is too timid. Mingyue didn't hit her, so how could she be so scared after a few words?"
After hearing this, Concubine Rou felt bitter and conflicted.
Although Mingyue is her daughter, she also admitted that Mingyue was really too much and scared Qingning.
Emperor Minghe did not respond to Concubine Su's words, but looked at Concubine Rou, "Concubine Rou, will you accompany me for dinner?"
Concubine Rou was stunned and quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine Su's face became increasingly ugly, and she could only watch Emperor Minghe and Concubine Rou leave!
Here, Lu Jingyu helped Gu Qingning out of the palace, got on the carriage, and headed straight for the Duke's Mansion.
Gu Qingning didn't say a word along the way, Lu Jingyu was really worried about her.
When he returned to Songtao Pavilion, he immediately asked, "Qing Ning, are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to send someone to invite Wei Shuhe over?"
Gu Qingning shook her head. She grabbed Lu Jingyu's hand, her eyes red as she suppressed her extremely excited expression.
"Jing Yu, do you know what I heard from Concubine Rou today?"
