Chapter 137 How did she die?

"Even if Empress Guo is arrogant, she still has to call the princess "sister" while His Majesty is still alive. Madam, don't worry."

Su He had a poor appetite and put down the bowl after taking a few sips of ginseng soup.

As the fetus was stable, the symptoms of pregnancy became more and more obvious.

Su He knew that people would inevitably notice something if she went out in public, but she didn't know how His Majesty was doing now? Has he recovered better than before?

In Kunning Palace, Liuguang exaggerated the situation in the Princess's mansion in front of Empress Guo, making it

worse and worse. It really angered Empress Guo.

She overturned the fruit plate on the table and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yuan hasn't returned to Beijing to receive his award yet, and Su He has already disobeyed my call. In the future, won't she have to stand on my head and show off her power?"

"That's right! Just a random nanny beside her is already unruly. If the master is added... it's too disrespectful to you, the queen." Liuguang continued.

Queen Guo glanced at him coldly and said nothing for a while.

Only Zhaoyang was present at the banquet that night.

It was said that it was the invitation of the emperor, but it was actually the idea of ​​Queen Guo. The emperor was just a decoration at the table.

Zhaoyang and Queen Guo have never been on good terms with each other. At the table, each of them was unhappy and spoke sharply with dissatisfaction.

When Empress Guo mentioned the recent news about Lu Huaihe, she was full of praise. She looked at Zhaoyang and asked, "Sister, it's hard for you to teach such an excellent child. Now that the southeast is flooded, the disaster money has actually reached the hands of the people, and even the plague has been controlled. I think Lu Yuan should set off to return to Beijing soon, so that he can reunite with you, right?"

Zhaoyang drank her tea indifferently, and did not even eat a bite of the delicacies in front of her. When she heard Empress Guo's words, she was very surprised . After hearing what the queen said, Zhaoyang said distantly: "Your Majesty doesn't know that he actually went there for a private matter. You also know my son's character. He will not come back without a result."

Queen Guo tightened her hand holding the chopsticks and asked with a fake smile: "What private matter must be dealt with at this time? Can't it be done after returning to the capital?"

Zhaoyang said: "The Queen really guessed it right." If he

returns to the capital, there will be so many tigers and wolves. What can he accomplish?

Queen Guo turned around and looked at the emperor, with a little more coquettishness in her words: "Your Majesty, look at my sister, she is still keeping me in suspense. What private matter is there that I don't know?"

The old emperor was already a little tipsy after drinking a few glasses of wine. Seeing Queen Guo asking him, he pretended not to know and laughed.

Seeing that everyone was hiding something from her, Queen Guo sneered and stopped asking questions.

In the Tingxue Garden,

Pei Xia heated the fruit in the stove and gave it to Su He. It was cold outside, so it was better to light the stove indoors.

A housekeeper came to report that there were guests.

Pei Xia peeled the fruit and said, "Who would rush to our place in such a cold weather?"

"It seems to be the Lu family over there." As

soon as the housekeeper said that, Su He guessed who it was and asked someone to bring them in.

In less than a moment, the housekeeper led Liu, who was hunched over and trembling, in. There were some dewdrops on her white hair, and she looked much more tired.

"It's such a cold day, why don't you stay at home, why don't you come to Xueyuan?" Su Ho smiled lightly.

The eldest princess is not here today. If she were here, she would definitely call Mrs. Liu to come and tell a few jokes.

Mrs. Liu had already been waiting outside the eldest princess's residence.

The housekeepers knew that she had some issues with the eldest princess, so they deliberately ignored her and waited for a while longer. It was a cold day, and her old bones felt like her legs were soaked in cold, freezing to the core.

Entering the room at this moment, the stove was burning brightly and the room was filled with incense. Mrs. Liu just breathed a sigh of relief.

"I came here today to look for someone. Zhili is missing! Our Lu family has never had any grudges with anyone. After thinking about it, I can only come to you to ask..."

Pei Xia said, "If someone is missing, go to the government office. What are you looking for here? Look at us. Who looks like a kidnapper?"

Qingyun touched his nose silently and took a few steps back with a guilty conscience.

Liu saw that her maid yelled at her, but Su He didn't care. After all, she was the elder. But now she was asking someone to do something, and Zhili had no news. She had to find him back.

"Ah He, please be considerate of my age. If you know where Zhili is, give me a definite answer! I will go find him myself, and you don't need to leave."

After learning that Lu Zhili was missing, the Guo family sent people to look for him. Since he had an appointment with someone, he would definitely not disappear for no reason.

The only possibility is that he was taken away.

Liu believed that she had no grudges with anyone else in the capital. Only the eldest princess had some past with her, and then there was Su He...

After thinking about it, although it was a little impossible, Liu decided to ask.

"I have been in the mansion recently and have not met with outsiders." Su He said.

"Is it someone around you? Or someone from the Su family?" Liu asked unwillingly.

Su He raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Are you determined to leave the person with me, old lady?"

"That's not what I meant..."

"If not, why are you holding on to me?"

"You also know that Zhili is not a very old child. If he was really taken away by you, we can talk about it. If he was taken away by someone else, my life would be taken away by God..."

Liu beat her chest and stamped her feet, thinking that Lu Yunqing was dead and Yan Xiu was not around, and the pair of evil sons of Liu Qiuqiu were not even her own flesh and blood. The Lu family was a good family that was broken up like this!

Pei Xia saw her making a scene here, so she walked up to Su He and complained unhappily: "What do you think of us?"

"Old lady, let me ask you a question. If you answer truthfully, people will see you. But if you lie, I can't guarantee that you won't be missing an arm or a leg when you see him again?"

From the tone of her voice, did she admit it?

A hint of sinisterness flashed in Liu's eyes, and she knew that it must be Su He who was behind it! Even when Yun Qing kidnapped those two bastards, it was Su He who whispered in her ear, and that's why she lost her life!

She just thought that Su He still had feelings for Yan Xiu, so he was jealous of Liu Qiuqiu. Thinking of this, she felt that her grandson Yan Xiu was more capable, and she looked down on Su He even more.

"Just tell me what you want to ask."

"How did my husband's father die?"

Su He slowly raised her eyes and looked at her seriously.

Her voice was not loud, but it was full of sharp questions.

The noble figure who had just walked in from outside the courtyard stopped in his tracks when he heard this.

Nanny Tang looked at the dazed look of the eldest princess and knew that her aunt had never disappeared from her heart.

The death of Lu Zhiping?

Liu narrowed her eyes and suddenly became alert: "You have nothing to do with him, why are you asking about this?"

"He is my husband's father and my father-in-law. If the old lady wants Lu Zhili to come back safely and soundly, the details must not be concealed."
