Chapter 114 Why don’t you check?
Su He's voice was bitter, and when he raised his eyes again, he could see that his eyes were red.
"They all said that it was Liu Qiuqiu who pushed you down, but I think as a mother, she should understand your difficulties and would definitely not act rashly. Is there any misunderstanding?"
When she asked the question, her tearful eyes were particularly bright.
Lu Yunqing unconsciously recalled the situation outside the corridor of Weirui Pavilion in the Lu Mansion that day. She would not be mistaken, it was indeed Liu Qiuqiu who pushed her.
Just because of a few quarrels, Liu Qiuqiu became so cruel?
Thinking of the unfortunate child who had just been born, Lu Yunqing felt extremely distressed.
Yes, as a mother, why can Liu Qiuqiu enjoy the happiness of having children? Why can she be pregnant for ten months, only to be disappointed in one day?
Lu Yunqing's face suddenly became embarrassed, and she clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, as if her enemy was right in front of her.
Since his brother had been with Liu Qiuqiu for so many years, from the time they lived in the villa to before he entered the mansion, Lu Yunqing thought he was very sincere to her and would even bring her new pastries bought from the streets to try. How could he have ever thought that he would end up like this?
"I actually forgot for a moment, what will be the outcome for those who repay kindness with enmity?" Lu Yunqing had a weird smile on her face, her eyes fixed on the floor.
"Naturally, a tooth for a tooth."
Su He's slightly drooped eyes slowly opened, his pupils were like a silent deep pool, making it impossible to tell how deep it is.
Tooth for tooth?
Lu Yunqing's smile gradually froze, becoming sinister and frightening.
She was no longer qualified to be a mother, and Liu Qiuqiu should naturally be avenged, because she gave birth to two bastards!
After visiting Lu Yunqing, Su He went to visit Mrs. Chen and Zhao Liuyun. After some greetings, she 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 that was cold as autumn came and handed it to the maids, then took the hot tea handed to him by Su He and drank it all in one gulp.
"Have you gone to see the Lord?"
"No, I'm with the Second Prince."
Su He frowned, thinking of that dandy boy, afraid that he would think of some vicious way to deal with her, so she didn't speak in a good tone for a moment: "Why did he look for you? Say bad things about me again?"
Lu Huaihe smiled slightly: "If he says anything bad about you, I will get up and leave immediately."
"Then what does he want from you?"
Lu Huaihe held the empty teacup in his hand and answered slowly: "Over the years, the Second Prince's knot has never dissipated, and he always has an original intention."
Su He looked over there and guessed it easily.
"To redress the grievances of Concubine Rong, right?"
"Ah."
Su He sat on a pear blossom stool beside him, looking sad, "When the prince ascends the throne in the future, I'm afraid..."
There will never be a day when the injustice in this case will be redressed.
Lu Huaihe said: "The Queen 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 regret."
"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 the beginning. No one knows the details better than me. The emperor lives in the Purple Gold Palace, and the queen serves him every day. The second prince has absolutely no chance to see him. To put it bluntly, he will never see his father again until the emperor dies."
Su He took a deep breath and suddenly felt that with the Queen's actions, it seemed that the Crown Prince, who had always been popular among the people, was not so perfect.
"Do you...want to check?"
"Why don't you check?"
There was a gleam of determination in Lu Huaihe's eyes, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
That was the deepest regret of his youth, and it had been brewing for a long time and he couldn't help but let it out.
Just waiting for an opportunity.
Seeing his calm answer, Su He really didn't know whether it was good or bad?
Will he agree if I openly go against the prince?
Two days passed slowly like this, and the day after tomorrow it was time for Lu Huaihe to set off.
The Princess's Mansion has sent someone over to tell the young couple to come over for dinner tomorrow night.
Su He was a little nervous about this, because the nanny who came to deliver the message revealed that the eldest princess did not just invite 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 difficult to get along with her. If anyone at the table 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 bring dislike to my mother?"
"How many people in Shangjing City do you think can stand my mother? Don't forget, even I don't want to live with her."
Lu Huaihe had a faint smile on his face, and his gentle words finally gave Su He a reassurance.
She secretly glanced at Lu Huaihe, feeling a little surprised and sweet.
This was the first time she had seen anyone, other than her brother, who could show off his power as a wife in front of his mother.
"Sir! I have something important to report!"
Qingyun stepped in from outside and reported the rumors he heard this morning truthfully.
"There is a wandering Taoist priest who claims to be able to extend the life of His Majesty. 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 means for some quacks to seek wealth and fame." Lu Huaihe's face was calm after hearing this.
Su He listened carefully, feeling a little panicked, afraid that her little thoughts would be discovered by others.
"If the Taoist priest is really capable of helping His Majesty 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. While he was amused, he still admired the Taoist priest's courage.
Su He exhaled and pretended to be calm, "I heard that people who practice Taoism have magic skills, but it's not certain whether it's true or not."
At this time in his previous life, the emperor actually had a brief period of vitality that lasted for four months. During that time, he attended court, visited gardens, and listened to folk music as usual.
If not for this, Su He would not dare to set his sights on him.
The inner hall of the Purple Gold Palace.
The emperor lay on his back on the dragon bed inlaid with gold and jade, his eyes half closed, drowsy.
Empress Guo personally brought a dose of medicine, helped him drink it spoonful by spoonful, and then washed her hands in a golden basin beside her.
"I heard that there is a Taoist who wants to meet the emperor and demonstrate his Taoist skills?" A contemptuous smile appeared on the delicate and beautiful face.
The maid replied, "The prince believes this and has taken the wandering Taoist priest out of the palace."
"Just outside the palace?" Queen Guo was a little surprised.
"Yes, the prince is also waiting outside. He heard the maid say that you were helping His Majesty take medicine, so he didn't report it."
Queen Guo knew that her son had rules and virtues ingrained into his bones, so she waved her hand and called him in.
