Chapter 466: East Palace

Since Jiang Xuan was imprisoned in the Criminal Department, this was the longest time Lu Qingrong had stayed with him.

Nearly an hour later, she reluctantly walked out of the gate of the criminal department.

Sitting on the carriage back home, Lu Qingrong's thoughts rushed like a tide, making her feel uneasy.

The ease of closing the case yesterday is long gone, replaced by a tension that I don't know how many times it has increased.

However, overnight, he came out of thin air with an extra talisman in his hand, which could mobilize all the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry on the outskirts of the city......

Among the things that he used to be at his disposal, whether it was the stack of silver tickets and land deeds for the marriage, or the pair of cards in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, compared to this, it was all trivial.

Moreover, Jiang Xuan also told her that even her eldest uncle Jiang Yuanzhao didn't know the whereabouts of this jade pendant!

Back then, for a long time after Mrs. Jiang's death, the young and vigorous Jiang Xuan gradually distanced himself from the Zhenbei General's Mansion due to a misunderstanding.

It's like this talisman.

Long before Jiang Xuan set out to go to Mobei, his uncle had hinted to him, but Jiang Xuan did not respond at that time.

Lu Qingrong's nervousness comes from this.

Although Jiang Xuan also said that this was just a precautionary measure, just in case of emergency, this feeling that the decision was all in his own hands still brought indescribable pressure to Lu Qingrong.

At the moment, the only thing that can relieve this pressure is a little bit. Only those words that Jiang Xuan said to her at the end were left.

Jiang Xuan knew very well that if the situation really changed, there would be a threat to the safety of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion and Lu Qingrong. The situation must be extremely complex and unpredictable. All the preparations now cannot be accurately judged. In this case, his entrustment to Lu Qingrong is just to "act at the opportunity".

For Lu Qingrong, these four words are as heavy as a thousand catties.

It is full of Jiang Xuan's trust in himself.

This trust trumps everything.

From now on. Only one's own judgment can decide whether or not to use that talisman......

Lu Qingrong remembered it very clearly, and Jiang Xuan said very solemnly: "Your safety is in danger." More than anything else. ”

This was his only admonition to the conditions for the use of the Talisman.

Until this moment, these words were still echoing in Lu Qingrong's ears, and the slightly blurred vision in front of her almost made her unable to continue thinking.

Lu Qingrong forcibly withdrew his thoughts. It's just because she still needs to remember every word of Jiang Xuan. In case something slips through.

For example, Jiang Xuan reminded her at the end:

Beware of the East Palace.

Lu Qingrong couldn't fully understand it until now.

Because Jiang Xuan didn't make it clear at all.

According to Jiang Xuan's personality, in the past, this kind of thing that even he himself couldn't get rid of would never be rashly exported.

But today is different, for the sake of Lu Qingrong's safety, this reminder even came out directly.

Lu Qingrong pondered Jiang Xuan's words repeatedly.

"Although the emperor's eldest grandson is young and harmless, once the East Palace gains power. The variables are immeasurable! Not to mention the sudden increase in the power of the Queen Mother, even the crown princess who is still under house arrest. It is also not to be underestimated. You must know that it was she at the beginning, in order to prevent the emperor from having any more children, she once secretly sent someone to attack Lijuan, who was pregnant. ”

remembered that Lijuan was still living in the house in Muxi Hutong, and the sudden water in the courtyard directly led to Lijuan's premature birth, and she almost had to die twice......

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

At the same time, thinking of his third sister Lu Manyu, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but worry a little for her.

As a candidate to take care of the eldest son of the crown princess, Lu Manyu has no intention of staying out of the matter, and even seems more eager for quick success than anyone else.

Seeing that Lu Manyu took the initiative to jump into the whirlpool of competition for reserves like this, Lu Qingrong wanted to pull her along, but he was powerless.

Just when Lu Qingrong was in turmoil, the carriage quickly drove back to Rong'en Street and stopped in front of the Hou Mansion.

Without waiting for Luzhu to step forward to help, Lu Qingrong jumped out of the carriage directly, strode into the mansion gate, hurriedly boarded the green silk car, and returned to Yuyuan.

Lu Zhu was very puzzled in her heart, in her memory, it was the first time she had seen Mrs. Shizi so urgent.

When Mrs. Shizi returned to the Yu Courtyard, she went straight to the inner room and asked her to help find the red jade pendant at the bottom of the box.

Lu Zhu didn't ask much, and immediately turned it out and sent it to Lu Qingrong.

I saw Lu Qingrong take it carefully, gently unfold the wrapped silk handkerchief, and stared at the jade pendant for a long time, without saying a word.

Lu Zhu didn't know the origin of this jade pendant very clearly, but he only knew that it was an old object that had followed Lu Qingrong for many years.

And it seems to be quite precious.

Every time Mrs. Shizi took it out, she only looked at it, then wrapped it up and put it back in its place, never wearing it once.

So this time, Luzhu was still standing next to him, waiting for Mrs. Shizi to take it back after reading it.

However, after Lu Qingrong was stunned for a while, he wrapped the jade pendant with a handkerchief and put it directly into his arms.

When Lu Zhu saw it, he felt a little surprised, but he didn't say much.

Lu Qingrong still felt uneasy, and he had to touch it from time to time.

In the end, she simply asked Luzhu to find a red rope with multiple strands, put the jade pendant on, and put it close to her neck.

Feeling the weight around her neck at all times made her a little more steady.

At this moment, Lu Qingrong really realized that the greater the responsibility, the greater the pressure......

Fortunately, in the afternoon, Luzhu heard a news and told it to Lu Qingrong, which somewhat distracted her attention.

The case has only been tried for a day, and many details in the lobby of the criminal department yesterday have already spread among the people.

The matter of the Marquis of Jingyuan being wronged has become the most talked-about topic on the streets and alleys today, and the speed of spreading is almost to the extent that everyone knows about it.

At the same time, Mrs. Wu, as the initiator of this false accusation, has painstakingly managed her virtuous image for many years, and collapsed.

Lu Qingrong listened, and he really only admired the ability of the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion.

In just one day, she was able to spread the news of what happened in the lobby of the Criminal Department so loudly, I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to do it.

To some extent, this is also due to the good use of Lord Yu's knowledge!

also heard about this, Qinyi Courtyard's side was completely different from Lu Qingrong's state of mind.

Mrs. Wu's nose was almost crooked.

When she saw the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion yesterday, she slandered in her heart, feeling that she had done nothing, as if she was watching the excitement.

Unexpectedly, she really just went to see the excitement!

……

It's a pity that Lu Qingrong's good mood only lasted for a moment, and the person who came to invite the East Palace came to the door......
