Chapter 114 Why didn't you check?
Su He's voice was bitter, and when she looked up again, her eyes were red.
"They all said that it was Liu Qiuqiu who pushed you down, but I think that as a mother, she should be able to understand your difficulties and will definitely not act rashly. Is there any misunderstanding?"
When she asked, her eyes were particularly bright with tears.
Lu Yunqing unconsciously thought of the situation outside the corridor of Weirui Pavilion in the Lu Mansion that day. She would not remember it wrongly. It was indeed Liu Qiuqiu who pushed her.
Just because of a few quarrels, Liu Qiuqiu was so cruel?
Thinking of the child who had just been born without blessings, Lu Yunqing felt extremely painful.
Yes, as a mother, why should Liu Qiuqiu be able to sit on her lap and enjoy the pleasure of having children? But she was pregnant for ten months, and one day her regret was left unfulfilled?
Lu Yunqing's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and she clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, as if the enemy was right in front of her.
Since her brother and Liu Qiuqiu had been together for so many years, from living in the villa to before entering the mansion, Lu Yunqing thought she was very sincere to her, and she would bring the new pastries bought on the street for her to taste. Who would have thought that this would be the outcome?
"I actually forgot for a moment, what should be the outcome of those who repay kindness with enmity?" Lu Yunqing had a weird smile on her face, her eyes fixed on the floor.
"Of course, tooth for tooth."
Su He's slightly drooped eyes slowly opened, and his pupils were like a silent deep pool, making it impossible to fathom the depth.
Tooth for tooth?
Lu Yunqing's smile gradually condensed, sinister and frightening.
She no longer had the qualifications to be a mother, and Liu Qiuqiu should naturally be avenged. Who made her give birth to two bastards!
After visiting Lu Yunqing, Su He went to visit Madam Chen and Zhao Liuyun. After some greetings, he was able to leave the Li Mansion.
In Li Garden, Lu Huaihe did not return until the night sky was covered with frost.
He took off his cloak with autumn chill and handed it to the maids, then drank the hot tea handed to him by Su He.
"Did you go to see the emperor?"
"No, I was with the second prince."
Su He frowned, thinking of the dandy boy, afraid that he would think of some vicious way to deal with him, so he was not in a good mood for a while: "Why did he ask you to do something? Say bad things about me again?"
Lu Huaihe smiled slightly: "If he says something bad about you, I will get up and leave immediately."
"Then why did he ask you to do something?"
Lu Huaihe held the empty teacup in his hand and answered slowly: "For so many years, the second prince's knot has never dissipated, and there is always an original intention."
Su He stared at it and guessed it easily.
"To redress the injustice of Concubine Rong, right?"
"Yeah."
Su He sat on the pear blossom round stool beside him, looking sad, "When the prince ascends the throne in the future, I'm afraid..."
This case will never be redressed.
Lu Huaihe said: "The Empress and Concubine Rong have always been in opposition. After the Emperor passed away, it is indeed impossible for the Crown Prince to clear Concubine Rong's name. This case should gradually fade away with the regrets."
"Why did the Second Prince... come to you alone? Isn't this obviously going against the Crown Prince?" Su He was a little unhappy. She didn't believe that Baili Feng couldn't see the situation clearly, but clearly wanted to push Lu Huaihe into the fire pit.
"I have been in charge of this case since those days, and no one knows the details better than me. His Majesty lives in the Purple Gold Palace, and the Queen serves him every day. The Second Prince has absolutely no chance to see the Emperor. To put it bluntly, he will never see his father again until His Majesty dies."
Su He took a breath of cold air, and suddenly felt that the Queen's behavior made the Crown Prince, who has always been popular among the people, not seem so perfect.
"Do you... want to investigate?"
"Why not?"
Lu Huaihe's eyes flashed with determination, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
That was the deepest regret of his youth, and he had been eager to reveal it.
It was just waiting for an opportunity.
Seeing his calm answer, Su He really didn't know whether it was good or bad?
Would he agree to openly oppose the prince?
Two days passed slowly, and the day after tomorrow, Lu Huaihe would set off.
The Princess's residence had sent someone to tell them to come over for dinner tomorrow night.
Su He was a little worried because the nanny who came to tell them revealed that the Princess had not only invited them, but also some of her close female friends.
Lu Huaihe comforted her: "Mother just seems to have a bad temper, it won't be too difficult to get along with her. If anyone at the banquet deliberately makes things difficult, I will ask mother to kick them out."
"How can this be done? Wouldn't it be for the eldest princess..." Su He was stunned for a moment, then changed the topic: "Wouldn't it make mother dislike you?"
"How many people in Shangjing City do you think can stand mother? Don't forget, even I don't want to live with her."
Lu Huaihe's eyebrows were filled with a faint smile, and his gentle words finally gave Su He a reassurance.
She secretly glanced at Lu Huaihe, feeling a little surprised and sweet in her heart.
It was the first time she had seen someone who could show off his wife in front of his mother, except for her brother.
"Sir! I have something important to report!"
Qingyun stepped in from outside and reported the rumors he heard this morning.
"There is a wandering Taoist priest who claims to be able to extend the life of the emperor. He met with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this morning and is now waiting to be arranged to enter the palace."
"It's just a trick used by some quacks to seek wealth." Lu Huaihe's face was calm after hearing this, without any disturbance.
Su He listened carefully, feeling a little panicked in her heart, fearing that her little thoughts would be discovered.
"If the Taoist priest is really capable and can make the emperor live another year or two, I'm afraid the capital city will have to build a Taoist temple for him." Qingyun also thought the matter was absurd and ridiculous. Although it was funny, he still admired the Taoist priest's courage to not be afraid of the stage.
Su He exhaled and pretended to be calm, "I heard that people who practice Taoism have magic, but it's not certain whether it's true or not."
At this time in the previous life, the emperor really had a brief resurgence for four months. During this period, he went to court, visited the garden, and listened to folk songs as usual.
If not for this, Su He would not dare to set his sights on him.
In the inner hall of the Purple Gold Palace.
The emperor lay on his back on the dragon bed inlaid with gold and carved with jade, half-closed his eyes, and was drowsy.
Queen Guo personally brought a dose of medicine, served him a spoonful at a time, and washed her hands in a golden basin beside her.
"I heard that a Taoist priest wanted to show his Taoist skills to the emperor?" A contemptuous smile appeared on her delicate and noble face.
The maid replied: "The prince believed it very much and has brought the wandering Taoist priest outside the palace."
"Just outside the palace?" Queen Guo was a little surprised.
"Yes, the prince is also waiting outside. I heard from the maid that you were serving the emperor the medicine, so I didn't report it."
Queen Guo knew that her son had engraved rules and virtues into his bones, waved her hand, and summoned him in.
