Chapter 212 No Sense of National Righteousness
Lu Qingqing held Liu'er's hand tightly with one hand and gently comforted her back with the other.
Sure enough, she would tremble and feel terrified whenever she heard the words "Crown Prince".
Fortunately, she is now more resilient than before.
But everyone's expressions were strange.
Mu Daye understood.
Perhaps reminded by her, he realized Liu'er's identity and looked at Liu'er with a blank and flustered expression.
Gu Chengzhou subconsciously looked at Xu Rui, his fists clenched tightly.
Xu Rui glanced at him briefly, then lowered his head to hide his fiery eyes.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "Can't we discuss this?"
There aren't any shady characters here. The villagers were just gossiping about it without any problems a while ago, right?
"No..." Xu Rui's voice was slightly hoarse.
Just as he was about to say something, Gu Chengzhou suddenly looked up, his eyes wide, and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master, I know who she is!"
It was Lu Qingqing's reminder that made Gu Chengzhou recall the rumors he had heard before.
Two years ago, General Qin Wangchuan of the Cloud Banner married the illegitimate daughter of a minor prefect in a grand ceremony.
People in the capital say he loves his wife dearly; he stays at home and never goes anywhere except when he's in the military camp.
However, he kept his wife's identity very well hidden, and few people had ever seen her face. She had only attended one palace banquet and left early.
The more this was the case, the more curious people became. When he heard people discussing it, Gu Chengzhou also asked a few questions out of curiosity.
Those who have seen her say that Madam Qin is indeed beautiful, serene and graceful, like a painting.
From his description, it's like a person in a painting—not that they're incredibly beautiful, but rather that they're so proper and dignified that they lack vitality.
Those in their military camp preferred those who were agile and strong; they couldn't understand why Qin Wangchuan would like such a delicate and graceful noblewoman.
In short, the first time Gu Chengzhou met Liu'er, she matched the description of Madam Qin that he had heard from others.
That's why he looked familiar.
"Qin Wangchuan, Qin Wangchuan's wife!" Gu Chengzhou exclaimed excitedly.
"Is it... is it her, Mu Daye?"
If it's her, that would be wonderful. If she's not dead, it proves that it wasn't the crown prince that day...
Qin Wangchuan wouldn't act like a mad dog to serve the Ninth Prince!
Xu Rui looked at Liu'er in astonishment.
Is it her?
Yes, it's her.
Otherwise, Qingqing wouldn't have asked that question.
Is it ridiculous?
The two main characters that everyone outside is talking about are strangers to each other, even when they are face to face.
"No!" Mu Daye denied.
But his face had turned deathly pale, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.
He pulled Liu'er over and shielded her behind him, his tall body standing straight, but he couldn't hide the panic that emanated from his eyes, his movements, and his very being.
He was afraid, so afraid that he wanted to run away with Liu'er immediately.
“She is my wife, and she has never been to the capital.”
When Liu'er heard the name Qin Wangchuan, her eyes went vacant and she silently shed tears.
That was her heart crying, even though she couldn't remember.
Lu Qingqing sighed: "Mu Daye, don't be afraid, they won't go to the capital to report us, I promise."
Mu Daye looked at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui nodded.
His tense body relaxed, and he asked weakly, "Who is Qin Wangchuan? Is he Liu'er's husband?"
"Qin Wangchuan, General of the Great General of the Cloud Banner," Xu Rui said.
His voice was calm and even as he continued, "Rumor has it that the former crown prince forcibly took the wife of a minister, referring to Qin Wangchuan's wife."
Gu Chengzhou opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, as if he had oral tic disorder.
"You wicked prince!" Qiaoxiu spat from the side.
Mu Daye had never thought Qiaoxiu was so cute.
But Gu Chengzhou was furious, glaring fiercely at Qiaoxiu: "What are you barking about, you dog!"
Qiaoxiu hid behind Lu Qingqing.
"Why are you yelling at me? I wasn't talking to you!"
"you……"
"Chengzhou!" Xu Rui called out softly.
Lu Qingqing stared silently for a long time, her heart racing.
"Qiaoxiu, don't talk nonsense. The former crown prince was known for his benevolence. I feel that he was also framed!"
Xu Rui suddenly looked over.
Lu Qingqing was also looking at him, and at that moment, he felt as if those clear eyes had seen right through him.
He didn't hide or conceal anything; a layer of mist slowly seeped into his eyes.
Lu Qingqing thought to herself: I see.
He knew his mother, but he never showed his true face to anyone. He could do whatever she asked, and he even dared to mine iron ore!
It turns out she saved a golden egg!
It's safe!
As long as he can turn his life around, she can walk sideways in Da Gan!
But please, please don't crash!
"Miss Lu is so clever!" Gu Chengzhou exclaimed.
"Unlike some people who seem brainless, the sky above is dark, how can you tell the difference between good and bad people!"
Qiaoxiu was afraid of Gu Chengzhou's hard fists, but she wouldn't let it go: "The sun is high up there, it's not dark at all. You're not only brainless, you're also blind!"
Gu Chengzhou: "..."
He was wrong!
It's a waste of breath to talk to a clueless brat.
Mu Daye stared at Liu'er in a daze for a while, then finally turned his head and said with a sour tone, "Liu'er is still sick and can't remember anything. Even if she is General Qin's wife, shouldn't we wait a bit? Besides, can he protect her?"
Gu Chengzhou said, "We can't wait. Qin Wangchuan has gone mad because of her!"
Lu Qingqing frowned, about to refuse.
Because Liu'er's condition cannot be treated by a different person midway, and besides, no one else may be able to cure her.
For the time being, Liu'er can only stay by her side.
Xu Rui had already spoken up: "She can stay here; she doesn't need to go back."
Gu Chengzhou was surprised.
"Should we stay here for treatment, or never go back?" Lu Qingqing asked.
Xu Rui looked at her, pondering how to tell her.
Mu Daye held his breath in tension.
Xu Rui slowly said, "Qin Wangchuan is not a good person."
Qin Wangchuan is not a good person.
Therefore, Xu Rui will not let him go.
Lu Qingqing understood his unspoken meaning.
But she didn't think so.
Whether Qin Wangchuan is a good person or a bad person, he has the right to love someone.
If he and Liu'er are truly as loving as the rumors suggest, then once Liu'er regains her senses, she will definitely choose to return to his side, regardless of what the final outcome will be for that person.
When you love someone, you don't weigh the pros and cons.
Mu Daye could no longer contain his surprise and delight.
Lu Qingqing's bucket of cold water brought him back to his senses.
"I'll restore Liu'er to her former health and let her make her own choice."
Xu Rui did not object.
"good."
On the way back, Gu Chengzhou was very puzzled.
"Young master, why not take her back to Qin Wangchuan and let that fool know he was deceived by the Ninth Prince!"
You're oversimplifying things.
Gu Chengzhou had always stayed with his elder brother in the border town and was unaware of the intricate relationships in the capital.
"From the moment Qin Wangchuan sided with Ji Canglin, there was no turning back."
For the sake of a woman, he slaughtered innocent people and incurred a heavy debt of guilt. This person has no sense of national duty, no sense of right and wrong, and is a menace to be kept alive.
Furthermore, when you sent him there, didn't you consider that the suspicious Ji Canglin might find out about Mu Daye, and then about my existence?
Gu Chengzhou broke out in a cold sweat.
