After asking the palace maid on duty in the side hall, I learned that the emperor was going to summon the emperor's eldest grandson, and the crown princess accompanied him.

Thinking of the second prince who was still in the palace, whether it was Tang Yue or Lu Qingrong, there was a strange feeling in his heart.

"Concubine Lu is here?" Tang Yue asked.

"Back to the princess, Concubine Lu is recuperating in the dormitory, if you want to meet, let the slave and maid go over and let you know?" The maid replied respectfully.

Lu Qingrong understood that the crown princess was not in the East Palace at this time, and it was already for Tang Yue's face to let them in, and it must not be easy to enter Lu Manyu's bedroom. But Lu Manyu has just had a miscarriage, so she must not be able to come out and walk around, right?

"Go ahead!" Tang Yue commanded.

The maid immediately answered the call.

Originally, Lu Qingrong was still a little worried, according to Lu Manyu's temper, I was really afraid that she would not be willing to meet them at this time.

Fortunately, this time her worries were a little redundant, and after a while, Lu Manyu came to the side hall.

Today's Lu Manyu is wearing a plain white carved silk gown, a skirt of the same color, her hair is just tied in a bun at random, and she is wearing a white magnolia hairpin, which is up and down her body, without a trace of color.

However, Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his surprise, and then stepped forward: "You just walked out like this?" Watch out for your body! ”

She didn't care about etiquette anymore, Lu Manyu had a miscarriage for only a few days, and it was time to stay in bed to recuperate.

"What's the use of the body?" Lu Manyu actually showed a smile, looking extremely weird, "After all, I can't get pregnant anymore." ”

Lu Manyu's words were extremely straightforward, which made Lu Qingrong and Tang Yue speechless.

Lu Qingrong also found that although she spoke without scruples, her feelings were not out of control as she imagined, but she was very calm.

Holding back the suspicion in his heart, Lu Qingrong spoke: "The body is not just your own. Even if it's for the second uncle and second aunt, you have to pay more attention. ”

She had no choice but to move out of Lu Yizhong and Geng's family, hoping that Lu Manyu could cherish herself more. Don't let the whole family worry about it.

Lu Manyu didn't seem to be moved by her statement, and still said nonchalantly: "Don't worry." I'm fine. ”

Without waiting for Lu Qingrong to react, she continued: "You can also tell my father and mother when you go back, don't worry about my affairs." I will naturally be prepared for my future. ”

Lu Qingrong couldn't rest assured, listening to her obviously vague words made people even more uneasy.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Qingrong couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

Lu Manyu didn't answer anymore, but just glanced at Tang Yue casually.

When Lu Qingrong was still a little suspicious, Tang Yue had already stood up: "You guys talk first." I'll go out and have a look. I heard the palace maid just now say that the crown princess has been out for a long time, and she may be back soon. ”

After speaking, Tang Yue smiled at Lu Qingrong and nodded, and then walked straight out, leaving the two sisters alone in the side hall.

Lu Qingrong was grateful, so he completely ignored any etiquette, and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Lu Manyu: "What do you mean?" Parents, you can't have any thoughts you shouldn't have......"

Before she could finish speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from Lu Manyu's side. Sharp and piercing.

"Where did you think you went?" Lu Manyu still smiled, "Now that the crown prince has passed away, is it possible that you are still afraid that I will be martyred?" ”

Hear her say so. Lu Qingrong was inevitably dumbfounded, and hurriedly looked left and right to confirm that there was indeed no one else in this side hall, and then whispered: "Third sister, don't talk nonsense!" Now the whole of Daqi is very sad for the death of the crown prince, if your words reach the ears of the emperor......"

"I'm just telling you to hear it, can you still expose me?" Lu Manyu disagreed.

"And why do you say that?" Lu Qingrong almost suspected that she was a little crazy.

"Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives, I may not have a chance to conceive an heir again." Lu Manyu simply said truthfully: "In the past few days of marrying in the East Palace, I gradually discovered that the things of marrying a side concubine are just the prince's obedience to the emperor's wishes. He didn't want any side concubines himself! ”

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he was somewhat surprised. It was the first time she had heard such a statement.

"The crown prince and the crown princess are deeply affectionate, and they can't tolerate others in their eyes." Lu Manyu is inevitably a little yin and yang. "I'm lucky, taking advantage of ...... had a chance, and she was pregnant with an heir, but Xu Ying was even more miserable, the prince had never been to her from beginning to end. Speaking of this, Lu Manyu looked a little proud, but soon became gloomy again, "So even if the prince is still here, I am afraid that there will not be much change in the future." ”

"You should keep these words in your heart, and don't say them to anyone." Although Lu Qingrong was a little skeptical, he still didn't forget to tell her, "Especially now that the East Palace is in a critical situation, even if it is for your own future, you should be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

"Be cautious in what you say and do? What's the use of that? Lu Manyu didn't take this seriously at all, "I also figured it out, instead of being driven to the disgraceful courtyard with the crown princess, it is better to look forward to the day when the emperor's eldest grandson can ......."

Lu Manyu's words were not finished, but the meaning was already very obvious.

If the eldest grandson of the emperor can become the prince and ascend the throne as the emperor one day, then the crown princess is naturally a well-deserved queen, and she can also be posthumously named the concubine, although it is still a marginal title, but it is still better than going to the courtyard on the west side of the palace but remaining alive, I don't know how many times.

"You should keep these things in your heart, and don't keep talking about them." Lu Qingrong was really worried about her, especially Lu Manyu turned the corner so quickly, which was too unexpected for her. You must know that it has been less than twelve hours since the death of the prince!

"Don't worry, I'll just tell you, naturally I won't tell others." Lu Manyu said as she glanced in the direction of the door, "When you go back to the Lu Mansion, don't tell these words to my father and mother." ”

With her entrustment, Lu Qingrong finally felt a little relieved in her heart, she finally knew that she would not let Lu Yiduo and Geng follow her to worry.

Just thinking of the Geng family, Lu Qingrong suddenly felt that maybe if Lu Manyu told her what she wanted, it would make her more comfortable......

Although he was still worried about Lu Manyu's thoughts in his heart, Lu Qingrong didn't plan to argue with her for the time being, but only retreated to the second, hoping that she wouldn't make these expressions too obvious.

It's just that it's too late to persuade more, and there is already movement outside the side hall.

It was Tang Yue who came back with the crown princess.

Lu Qingrong hurriedly greeted the princess, said a few words such as "festival mourning", and saw that the princess looked lonely and did not have the slightest intention of entertaining, so he hurriedly said goodbye with Tang Yue.

Before going out, he still stared at Lu Manyu with a solemn face for a long time, and Lu Manyu was still unmoved.

After accompanying Tang Yue back to the palace, Lu Qingrong followed Jiang Xuan into the carriage back to the palace, she didn't even know whether to tell him about Lu Manyu's current condition.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan didn't ask her, just sat beside her, holding one of her hands tightly.

And for many days after that, Lu Qingrong's heart was constantly worried, always worried about Lu Manyu on what occasion he would make some inappropriate moves and be punished.

But the days passed day by day, until the prince's funeral and a series of ceremonies after that, Lu Manyu's appearance was extremely normal. When it is time to mourn, sorrow seems to have matured and stabilized much overnight.

It's just that Lu Qingrong has never had the opportunity to communicate with her alone, and I don't know if her mood has changed.

And because according to the emperor's will, neither officials nor ordinary people can get married within three months, so Lu Qianyu and Yin Zihao, who were originally scheduled to get married, were also delayed.

The rest of the month passed, and the wind and waves were calm.

The impact of the death of the crown prince on everyone has become less and less fading as time goes by.

It's just the unresolved storage position, so that everyone is keeping an eye on every move in the East Palace all the time.

Originally, the balance in everyone's heart had its own inclined direction, and the emperor had summoned the emperor's eldest grandson for the first time, and after the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were well known, this balance continued to produce various changes.

It's just that in Lu Qingrong's heart, he doesn't seem to have much expectation about this.

For her, whether it is the eldest grandson of the emperor or the second prince, there seems to be no big difference, and it can be said that each has its own benefits.

The eldest grandson of the emperor is Lu Manyu's current spiritual sustenance, although he has an inextricable and inseparable relationship with the Wu family, Lu Qingrong always does not want Lu Manyu's only hope to be dashed.

Not to mention the second prince's side, from Jiang Xuan's side, it is definitely beneficial and harmless to the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion.

Although the battle for the storage position did not have any impact on Lu Qingrong, something happened soon, which made her think about it or not.

Less than two months after General Xu Yi took command, a battle report finally came from Mobei. But it's not good news.

According to the battle report, the army that went to reinforce was routed by the Fanmeng and almost completely annihilated. As the coach, Xu Yi cut himself on the battlefield at that time to apologize.

And the problem lies in the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry who followed Jiang Yuanzhao and won many battles.

Zhenbei Iron Riding is self-contained, except for Jiang Yuanzhao, it is difficult for others to control. Although the emperor has made some adjustments to the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry from time to time over the years, he has never completely broken it up out of consideration for the safety of the border. Therefore, whether it is a soldier or a general, the matter of who will be the commander is far more important than imagined.

In the past, it was all a small fight, and the drawbacks were not obvious, but now that the two armies have really started to fight, this contradiction can no longer be concealed, even if the experienced general Xu Yi is also a little powerless. (To be continued) R752
