Chapter 244 Lu Hangzhi is impotent?
"Qiu Shui, in your opinion, what are my chances of winning?"
"If we take action at this time, the chance of success will be only 50% at most."
The Ninth Prince frowned, "Only 50%? So low."
Qiu Shui: "Moreover, this is based on the premise that the Third Prince takes action first. Your Majesty, His Majesty's strength is far stronger than we imagined."
Although Qiu Shui was wholeheartedly planning things for the Ninth Prince, he also knew that Emperor Minghe was actually a wise ruler.
If she hadn't had a grudge against Emperor Ming He, if the Ninth Prince hadn't been kind to her, she wouldn't even have approved of taking action against Emperor Ming He...
After listening to Qiu Shui's analysis, the heat in the Ninth Prince's heart was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water.
He said helplessly: "You are always too cautious."
Qiu Shui: "Your Majesty, I just hope you can achieve great things instead of getting into danger. If you want to seize the throne, either don't do it, or do it right away."
One general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers, let alone fighting for the throne?
Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.
The Ninth Prince was a cautious person to begin with, so he nodded.
"Alright, then let the Third Prince be the vanguard. Even if he is destined to fail, it is good to be able to inflict heavy damage on the Emperor."
He has been waiting for so many years, so it doesn't matter if he waits a few more years.
but……
"It would be great if we could take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Lu Jingyu. Send a message to Xu Yingqing and ask him to find a way to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Lu Jingyu."
Qiu Shui: "Your Majesty, will Xu Yingqing be able to do it?"
Ninth Prince: "His son-in-law was killed by Lu Jingyu, and he hates him too."
"Also, you can tell him that if the Third Prince fails, I will protect him."
Qiu Shui understood immediately.
If the third prince fails, Xu Yingqing will be sacrificed.
Xu Yingqing has always been playing both sides, and in fact, he also regards the Ninth Prince as his last straw.
Will the Ninth Prince save him?
"That depends on whether he will still be useful by then."
Now that the position of Prime Minister has become vacant, naturally there will be many people who are jealous.
As for killing Lu Jingyu... Concubine Su had wanted to use the Ninth Prince to get rid of Lu Jingyu. But the Ninth Prince turned around and pushed the Third Prince into a dead end.
If Concubine Su, who is under house arrest at this moment, knew about this, would she collapse?
**
"Evil will be punished by evil, this saying is true."
After Lu Jingyu returned home from court, he told Gu Qingning everything that happened in the palace, no matter how big or small.
He even told about his conversation with His Majesty.
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Jingyu, why do you tell me everything?"
"Other people's husbands never tell their wives anything different."
They all just hope that their wives can manage the inner house well, be filial to their elders, and raise children well.
Lu Jingyu did not answer but asked, "Do you understand everything I said?"
Gu Qingning nodded, "Your Majesty's words 'he is also your brother', in fact, weren't they just testing you."
"He was thinking, if you regain your status in the future, how will you treat your brother who once wanted to seize the throne?"
"He actually wants to use you, but he's still hesitating and considering. Is that right?"
Lu Jingyu nodded approvingly, "So, you are smart and can understand these things, which is different from others. Naturally, I am willing to talk to you."
"Besides, I don't trust anyone else. You and I are husband and wife, so I trust you, so I am willing to tell you this."
"So are you willing to listen to me?"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Of course I am willing. Then you can talk about something else."
Lu Jingyu: "Your Majesty is giving the Third Prince a chance now, but the Third Prince may not cherish this opportunity. If nothing unexpected happens, he will take action soon."
Gu Qingning: "If the Third Prince wants to take action, will the Ninth Prince also take action?"
Lu Jingyu glanced at her approvingly again, "Indeed, the Ninth Prince will definitely take advantage of the opportunity, but he is not the kind of person who will fight an unprepared battle, so if he sees that the Third Prince has little chance of winning, he may just sit back and watch."
"But it's also possible that they will take advantage of the chaos to do something."
Gu Qingning's eyes narrowed immediately, and she grabbed Lu Jingyu's sleeve, "Will he want to take advantage of the chaos to attack you?"
"You know, if the Third Prince fails and something happens to you, then in the eyes of the Ninth Prince, there will only be the Sixth Prince who has an even smaller chance."
Lu Jingyu nodded, "You and I are thinking the same thing."
"But everything has two sides. He wants to attack me, but I can also take the opportunity to catch him."
At that time, the hunter and the prey will switch positions.
Gu Qingning understood.
At first glance, it seems that Emperor Minghe used himself as bait to lure the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince.
At the same time, Lu Jingyu was also using himself as bait.
Walk into a trap and give tooth for tooth.
The third prince thought he was fighting with all his might, but in fact he had been part of everyone's plan.
As for the Ninth Prince, he thought he could stalk the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind.
But in reality, the prey will instantly become the hunter and counter-capture.
Let’s see who will win in the end.
Seeing that Lu Jingyu had already made a plan, Gu Qingning felt relieved.
At this moment, Aunt Chen knocked on the door and came in, she whispered:
"Master, someone came to the old house and said something happened, and asked you to come over."
The old house is the original Duke's Mansion.
Lu Jingyu frowned slightly. He had just praised the old house for being very peaceful in recent times, so how come something like this happened immediately?
Gu Qingning pushed him and said, "Jingyu, let's go over and take a look."
They haven't left the Duke's Mansion yet, so they can't completely stay out of the affairs of the Duke's Mansion.
Lu Jingyu also understood this. He nodded and held Gu Qingning's hand with his backhand.
"From now on, we will completely ignore the mess in the Duke's Mansion!"
The main thing is that everyone in the Duke's Mansion is restless: his careless and indifferent father, his stepmother who is full of evil intentions, his indecisive and selfish brother, and a group of women in his backyard who are always making trouble.
No wonder Lu Jingyu gets annoyed when talking about the old house.
After they had packed up and arrived at the old house, they saw that Feng's eyes were red and she kept pressing the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Duke Qin sat in the main seat and sighed.
After seeing Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning coming, he pointed to the seats next to him and said, "You guys take a seat first."
After Lu Jingyu helped Gu Qingning sit down, he frowned and asked, "Father, what happened again?"
Duke Qin seemed to be unable to speak, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Hangzhi is ill."
Lu Jingyu: "If you are sick, go see a doctor. Why are you looking for us?"
Duke Qin choked. Feng, who was sitting next to him and was already very sad, immediately became unhappy after hearing this.
"Jingyu, Hangzhi is your brother after all. How come you're not worried at all when you heard that he's sick?"
"Is there any brother like you?"
Lu Jingyu sneered, "When I was 'killed' in battle, Hangzhi, my younger brother, was not sad at all. He immediately couldn't wait to marry my fiancée who was almost married to me."
"You ask if there is a brother like me, then is there a brother like him?"
Feng was speechless after being rebuked. After a pause, she glanced at Gu Qingning beside her and said awkwardly:
"It's been a long time since this happened. Didn't you say you're not angry anymore? Why are you bringing it up again?"
Lu Jingyu: "I am not angry anymore. On the contrary, I am grateful to him for marrying such a good lemon to me."
When he said this, he looked at Gu Qingning.
Feng was so angry that she almost fell backwards.
Duke Qin couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed and blurted out everything.
"Jing Yu, Hangzhi's illness is quite serious. The imperial doctors are helpless after examining him."
"You and Qing Ning both know Doctor Bai from Medicine Valley. Can you introduce him to Doctor Bai and ask him to check his illness?"
This is why they called Lu Jingyu and his wife over.
Lu Jingyu: "You can write a letter to recommend it, but whether or not to treat it, and whether or not it can be cured, still has to be decided by Divine Doctor Bai."
"What disease did Hangzhi have? Why are you keeping silent?"
"No! I saw Hangzhi with the Minister of Rites today. Doesn't he look like he has a terminal illness?"
Feng couldn't help but say, "Hang Zhicai doesn't have a terminal illness!"
Lu Jingyu: "What disease did you have?"
Feng pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Duke Qin on the side sighed, "Hangzhi just came back and saw that he was not in good condition, so I asked the palace doctor to take a look."
"After further questioning, I learned that Hang's spleen and kidneys were weak and his whole body was weak. If he is not treated, he may become... impotent in the future."
"We called the imperial physician, but he was helpless."
Mrs. Feng burst into tears again, worried about her son's illness.
Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning: "..."
They finally understood why Feng and the others were unwilling to tell the truth just now.
After all, this disease is quite shameful.
Lu Jingyu also felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have let Qing Ning hear such a dirty thing.
He said, "I will write a letter to Divine Doctor Bai and ask the court doctor to explain Hangzhi's symptoms, and then wait for his reply."
Feng asked anxiously, "Can't you write a letter right away and ask Divine Doctor Bai to come to the capital to treat Hangzhi?"
Lu Jingyu looked at her speechlessly, "Don't even mention that Hangzhi doesn't have such a big face. Even the current emperor can't do it. Let me make it clear first, even with my letter, I'm not sure that Doctor Bai will be willing to see Hangzhi."
Doctor Bai is an amazing doctor who can bring bones back to life and revive the dead, but he has a very strange temper.
If someone gets angry with him, even if he has already crossed the Naihe Bridge, he will rescue him.
For example, Lu Jingyu at the beginning was like that.
As for the patients he didn't want to see, even mountains of gold and silver could not impress him.
Feng was so angry that she wanted to say something, but Lu Jingyu said lightly:
"If mother is still unhappy, I will not write this letter. You can think of another solution on your own."
Feng: “…”
After this matter was resolved, Duke Qin pulled Lu Jingyu aside and asked him about what was happening in the court.
After all, the fact that all the ministers went to kneel in the imperial study today was very curious.
Lu Jingyu said to Gu Qingning: "Xiyao can't leave you, you should go back home first."
He knew that Gu Qingning was not happy to stay in the old house.
Gu Qingning nodded, stood up and left.
However, when Gu Qingning was about to leave the old house, she saw Feng Yuaner surrounded by a group of servants, walking slowly in the yard.
Gu Qingning's eyes fell on her belly and she frowned slightly.
Feng Yuaner’s belly is a little too big?
