Chapter 468: Threat
The two things that Lu Qingrong is most worried about now are the safety of the talisman, and the other is that Lu Manyu had better not get involved in the quagmire of competing for reserves.
Afraid of what comes.
Lu Manyu answered in just one sentence, and she included the two things she was worried about.
Feeling disappointed, Lu Qingrong asked quietly, "What jade pendant?" β
"In front of my own sisters, the fourth sister should not pretend to be with me!" Lu Manyu had a confident smile on her face, "It's a red jade pendant given by Mrs. Jiang when your mother and daughter met Mrs. Jiang in Jinan by chance!" β
Lu Qingrong had no intention of investigating how she knew.
After all, he didn't know that this jade pendant was so important, although he always refused to reveal it in front of Mrs. Wu, but when he was in the Lu Mansion, he was far less cautious and cautious.
"What does the third sister want that jade pendant for?" Lu Qingrong tried his best to make his questions appear free of distractions.
"I like it! You know, I've loved red stuff since I was a kid......"
Lu Manyu said easily and naturally.
Lu Qingrong couldn't see a trace of artificiality in it.
"I don't know where the third sister heard about this jade pendant...... However, since it was a gift from a deceased elder, how could I easily give it to someone else? If the third sister likes it, I'll help you find it when I return home. Don't dare to say anything else, this red jade, you will definitely be able to find a better color in the Hou Mansion! β
Lu Manyu was a little impatient.
She didn't know why she had to ask for Mrs. Jiang's jade pendant.
Coupled with Lu Qingrong's resolute refusal, it made her more and more impatient.
"Do you want to give it or not?" Lu Manyu's tone suddenly hardened. "I'll talk to you now, if you can't see that jade pendant, don't talk about the **** token!"
After speaking. Lu Manyu maintained an imposing posture, waiting for Lu Qingrong to soften.
She was convinced that it would only be a matter of time.
As everyone knows, Lu Qingrong's silence is just helplessness.
Want to release Jiang Xuan as a bargaining chip in exchange for the talisman in your hand?
Even if I can't figure it out, I will never make this deal with her! Jiang Xuan's innocence has been proven. In the Criminal Department, there is neither suffering nor danger, and there is no need to accept such a big favor as the East Palace. Not to mention. You have to exchange it for a talisman!
Where is this saving Jiang Xuan, it is obviously causing chaos for him......
Lu Qingrong couldn't guess a little, was this Lu Manyu's own idea?
Even if she had heard or even seen her jade pendant in Lu Mansion from some way, if there was no one to guide her. It is also impossible to guess where it came from.
Look at Lu Manyu's appearance. It seems like I don't know...... Of course, no matter what, Lu Qingrong believes that this is no coincidence.
"Just now I said that I wanted to help the third sister find other jade pendants, but I just wanted to help on a whim, don't get me wrong!" Lu Qingrong became serious in an instant, and he was still respectful, "As for the so-called exchange, I have never heard of it, and you haven't said it!" Just now in front of the emperor's eldest grandson. I'm by no means polite. The affairs of the prince of the world, don't bother with the East Palace! β
This time. Lu Qingrong said it very bluntly.
Lu Manyu immediately became irritable.
"Do you really ignore the safety of the Marquis of Jingyuan?"
Lu Manyu's anger finally couldn't be suppressed anymore.
"You think he's going to come out, it's just a matter of time, right? You'd be naΓ―ve! β
"Let me tell you, the Criminal Department also has people from the East Palace...... What is the prison of the Criminal Department, I guess I don't need to say more, right? The Marquis of Jingyuan is not in good health, and he is used to being pampered, how long can he last in that dark place, have you thought about it? Even if he can hold on to it, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any accidents! Don't you forget, how many of the noble children who have been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department came out alive? β
Lu Manyu's words stopped here.
She didn't believe it, especially the last sentence, Lu Qingrong could still be indifferent when she heard it!
In fact, Lu Qingrong did have a small fluctuation in his heart, because he heard her say that there was an East Palace in the Criminal Department......
It's just that I was quickly relieved.
Lu Manyu actually used "dark and dark" to describe Jiang Xuan's place, which shows that even if there are people from the East Palace in the Criminal Department, it will not play a role.
Lu Qingrong said lightly: "The emperor is blessed with Qitian, maybe it will be good soon, so the prince will not have to wait too long." β
When Lu Manyu heard this, she was already so angry that she couldn't speak.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingrong had a soft and hard attitude, and he still didn't use it no matter how he threatened.
What's even more hateful is that Lu Qingrong is neither anxious nor annoyed, and the words he says are neither salty nor light, leaving no room for himself.
She only reacted at this moment, it turned out that Lu Qingrong was sincerely refusing this exchange, not bargaining with her.
What puzzled her was that it was just a broken jade pendant, no matter how valuable it was, was it more important than human life? She didn't want to think about it, if the prince of Jingyuan Hou had a case, even if she had more gold and silver treasures, how could she keep it!
Lu Manyu's brain is not good at pondering these, since it is useless to win over and threaten, then it can only be forced!
The Emperor Hengzhu is already unconscious, and the Queen Mother must be heading towards the East Palace, so it doesn't matter how much movement there is at this moment.
The more Lu Manyu thought about it, the more daring she became.
She stared at Lu Qingrong first and looked up and down.
It was the height of summer, Lu Qingrong's clothes were very thin, and he never wore anything around his neck. It seems that she didn't carry the jade pendant with her.
Lu Manyu suddenly became angry: "You send someone back to the house now and fetch me something!" If you can't see anything, don't even think about stepping out of the East Palace! β
Lu Qingrong looked at her in surprise, not knowing how to make her lose her way.
"Do you know what the jade pendant is used for?" Lu Qingrong tried to confirm what position Lu Manyu was in this matter.
And Lu Manyu's personality will never admit that she doesn't know, so she simply shut up and ignored Lu Qingrong at this time.
Seeing this, Lu Qingrong turned his head and was about to leave.
She didn't really want to leave, she just wanted to confirm whether Lu Manyu was talking angrily just now.
But he didn't want to, he only walked a few steps, and before he stepped out of the door of the side hall, there was movement outside.
After a chaotic sound of footsteps, there were obviously many more guards in front of the door, lined up to block the door.
Lu Qingrong stopped and looked at the human wall at the door, and said that it was not good.
Looking at Lu Manyu again, a weird smile appeared on her face, and she regained her confidence again.
At this moment, outside the human wall, another sound of footsteps suddenly came, accompanied by a confident voice: "What's going on, even the main palace has to stop it?" β
