Chapter 488: Caution
On the day when the first crown princess "hanged herself", Jiang Xuan had already cheered up. When the palace gate reopened in the evening, Lu Qingrong saw Jiang Xuan, who had been waiting for her at the palace gate for a long time.
Since then, he has never left an inch, and he has never let Lu Qingrong be alone for a moment.
Until the next day, the news came that the emperor's eldest grandson was also missing.
Jiang Xuan became more and more cautious.
When Lu Qingrong learned about this, he was having dinner with Jiang Xuan in the hall. The afterglow of the setting sun faded away, and the lights had not yet been lit, and it was the darkest time in the house.
Lu Qingrong's state of mind also darkened a little.
"Yesterday, when I heard the queen mother talk about this, I still had a trace of luck in my heart, thinking that maybe the first crown princess really hanged herself, and the few chamberlains who escaped had nothing to do with this matter...... "Lu Qingrong sighed, "Now it seems that even the disappearance of the emperor's eldest grandson must be closely related to it." I just don't know if the emperor's eldest grandson left voluntarily or was coerced by those people......"
Jiang Xuan shook his head expressionlessly: "You also know what the emperor's eldest grandson has done before. Do you think he would have been coerced? ”
Lu Qingrong was relieved.
Although the emperor's eldest grandson is young, he can no longer be measured by ordinary people's standards.
Even, what happened in the East Palace yesterday may have nothing to do with him......
Lu Qingrong didn't want to face such a sinister human nature, so he didn't delve into it anymore, and instead asked, "What clues are there about the whereabouts of the Emperor Changsun and the others?" We...... Is it really dangerous? ”
Jiang Xuan was extremely concerned about this matter: "On the way from the Mausoleum of the First Prince to the capital, there is no trace of them for the time being. As for us. It's better to be extra careful, especially you. ”
Jiang Xuan's expression was serious.
Lu Qingrong wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he recalled: "Actually. In the past, the emperor's eldest grandson and I never had any head-on conflicts...... Are we going to make a big fuss? ”
Jiang Xuan smiled helplessly, and then said: "Your respect in the past, he may have forgotten it a long time ago." What he remembers now, I'm afraid that's all that's left is for you to lead the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry into the capital...... You know, if you hadn't transferred the Zhenbei Iron Rider overnight, the world would be in full swing at this moment. Maybe it's his! ”
Lu Qingrong certainly understood this, but she just didn't expect it: "The emperor's eldest grandson also knows about this?" ”
"Even if he didn't know it before, wait for him to meet up with those chamberlains who escaped from the palace. I must have known it. Especially in front of all the courtiers, the emperor praised you for your 'meritorious escort', and the meaning is self-evident. In short, you should not go out these days, if you have to. Let me know in advance. I'll bring more people with you. ”
Jiang Xuan said, noticing that Lu Qingrong hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time, so he picked up the small blue and white bowl at hand, filled a bowl of red lotus fragrant rice porridge, and handed it to her.
Lu Qingrong really didn't have an appetite, so he only symbolically scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
"Even if the eldest grandson really holds a grudge against me, he may not come to take revenge, right?" Lu Qingrong then said, "He left the Mausoleum of the First Prince without authorization. disappeared without a trace, and has already let himself fall into a situation that is intolerable by law. Will he really sneak back to the capital at this time? ”
In all fairness, Jiang Xuan felt that her words made sense.
But for him, nothing is more important than Lu Qingrong's safety, it is better to be foolproof, and Lu Qingrong cannot be taken lightly.
So, Jiang Xuan chose another angle: "Don't forget, he can even get out of his own mother, what else is impossible?" ”
Lu Qingrong was taken aback.
It turned out that the speculation she vaguely felt but couldn't believe just now was not just her thoughts.
Lu Qingrong no longer had any objections, looked at Jiang Xuan seriously, and said that he would definitely be more careful.
With her assurance, Jiang Xuan's caution still did not relax for half a minute, and insisted on following her every step of the way.
At first, Lu Qingrong didn't care, but it didn't take long for her to feel different.
Jiang Xuan really took every step to the extreme, even when he went to the clean room to freshen up and bathe, he also followed, either finding a quiet corner to sit and wait, or calmly swaying beside him......
In the evening, the two were lying on the bed next to each other, and Lu Qingrong finally couldn't help asking, "Are you too nervous?" ”
Jiang Xuan seemed to think seriously for a moment, and finally only said a soft "um".
Lu Qingrong had to remind: "Don't you have to go to the court?" There is also the matter of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, didn't the emperor also send you to rectify it? ”
Jiang Xuan smiled: "These days are still in the period of national mourning and dropping out of the dynasty, and there is no court meeting. As for the stall in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it is not an urgent matter, the emperor is concerned about the safety of our palace, and today he specially sent someone to spread the word, saying that it would not hurt to start rectification in a few days! ”
Lu Qingrong has no choice now, and he can only rely on him.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the strength of the hand that Jiang Xuan had been holding on her waist seemed to have changed......
Lu Qingrong was full of excitement, and instinctively resisted.
Now she is pregnant, and it is a national funeral, and the filial piety period of Marquis Jingyuan has not yet passed......
She secretly said in her heart, Jiang Xuan shouldn't be such a Meng Lang person......
Just when Lu Qingrong was struggling with himself, Jiang Xuan's teasing voice came from his ears: "What do you think, I just want to talk to the child!" ”
Lu Qingrong was instantly embarrassed, looked down, and found that Jiang Xuan's hand was covering her abdomen, rubbing it gently.
With a blank face, Lu Qingrong coughed lightly, and then asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?" ”
Jiang Xuan pretended to be serious: "Whisper." ”
Lu Qingrong was amused by him.
The next moment, I saw him bend down, put his face on his stomach, and speak matter-of-factly.
"Child, your mother doesn't seem to want me to follow her, it's a little annoying to me...... You say, what should I do? ”
After speaking, he didn't say anything for a long time.
Lu Qingrong was feeling strange, Jiang Xuan suddenly raised his head, frowned and asked, "Why didn't you respond?" ”
Lu Qingrong chuckled: "Obviously there was a response, but you didn't hear it!" ”
"Oh?" Jiang Xuan was slightly excited.
"Who are you?" Lu Qing couldn't hold back a smile.
Jiang Xuan's excitement did not fade at all, and he immediately bent down again and introduced himself:
"Look at my memory! I'm your father...... I haven't been able to accompany you and your mother some time ago, it's my father who is not good, and I will definitely not be in the future! ”
“……”
In the end, Jiang Xuan chattered for half an hour, and said that Lu Qingrong was drowsy.
Although he didn't receive any response, he was still so content, he raised his head and said to Lu Qingrong: "Our daughter asked me to be a good mother, I can't leave you half a step!" ”
His ability to talk to himself, Lu Qingrong can only admire.
A wave of sleepiness hit, and Lu Qingrong didn't even have the strength to ask him why he was a "girl......
