Chapter 467: Exchange
When the East Palace sent someone to invite, Lu Qingrong was eating.
After hearing this, she didn't even have the little appetite left.
It was none other than Lu Manyu who invited her.
The waiter who passed the word, when he mentioned the name of "Concubine Lubian", had more respect than the previous time.
Lu Qingrong was worried, and couldn't help but think of the last time he went to the East Palace.
At that time, Lu Manyu proposed to ask Jiang Xuan to be the martial arts master of the emperor's eldest grandson, but Lu Qingrong failed to refuse, and in the end, Jiang Xuan went to the emperor in time to recommend others, and the matter was over.
It can be seen that Jiang Xuan has already shown his attitude of refusing to be encircled very obviously......
I don't know what this time, and for what?
Lu Qingrong immediately put down his chopsticks, asked the people in the East Palace to wait for a while, and entered the palace immediately after changing his clothes.
Back in the inner room, Lu Qingrong changed into a white silk storage gown, embroidered lotus dark pattern silk skirt of the same color, his hair was slightly neat, and he was still in the cloud bun when he went out in the morning.
Before a stick of incense was ready, Lu Qingrong led the green bamboo out together.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Qingrong lifted the corner of his curtain as if casually and looked out.
After she confirmed that the carriage of the East Palace kept a certain distance from them, she lowered her curtains.
The next moment, Lu Qingrong's actions made Luzhu a little dazed.
I saw that Mrs. Shizi decisively took off the red jade pendant on her neck and put it on her neck at a lightning speed.
By the time Luzhu reacted, Lu Qingrong had already helped her fix her collar. There is not a trace of wearing a jade pendant.
Lu Qingrong commanded with a serious face: "You can keep this for me first, and you can't leave for a moment." If there's a case, even if it breaks. Nor can it fall into the hands of others, no one! ”
Green bamboo was very surprised.
Her instincts told her that this thing might not be worth a lot of money......
Lu Qingrong no longer hid it from her, lowered his voice, and picked out the origin of this jade pendant to tell her.
After hearing this, Luzhu directly turned into shock. Trembling with fright, he almost slipped out of the seat of the carriage.
"Bing...... Talismans? Luzhu's voice was very small, and his face was full of disbelief.
She only felt that what was hanging on her chest was not a jade pendant. It's a blazing fireball.
Lu Qingrong bowed slightly, and confirmed: "This thing is so important, I must not be at ease if I stay in the mansion, and the matter is now." I'm afraid it's not that safe on me! You just wear it on your body. Don't worry about anything else. ”
Midoritake nodded instinctively, and the initial fright had calmed down a lot.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Shenwu Gate, Luzhu's heartbeat barely returned to normal.
accompanied Lu Qingrong all the way to the East Palace, and it was not until Lu Qingrong walked into the side hall that she stood outside the hall and waited.
Unlike in the past, Green Bamboo stood there, constantly keeping an eye on the surroundings with vigilant eyes, for fear that someone would suddenly rush out of somewhere. snatched the jade pendant from his body......
On the other hand, Lu Qingrong in the hall was much calmer than her.
As soon as you enter the door. Seeing that Lu Manyu was not the only one sitting on the top, but the emperor's eldest grandson was also there, Lu Qingrong didn't show any surprise, and greeted them very calmly.
However, the eldest grandson of the emperor took the initiative to explain: "Mrs. Shizi came by coincidence, if it is any later, I will go to study." ”
Lu Qingrong responded with a smile.
It was lunch time, and it was normal for the emperor's eldest grandson to stay in the East Palace.
At this time, the emperor's eldest grandson asked a little anxiously, "Is the prince of Jingyuan okay?" ”
Lu Qingrong had already prepared, and immediately replied: "I'm tired of the emperor's eldest grandson, everything is fine for the prince." Lord Yu had already concluded the case in the Criminal Department yesterday, and the innocence of the prince was proven. Now all that remains is to return to the emperor and ask for release. ”
"I've heard about that, too." The eldest grandson of the emperor did not hide his concern about this case, "When Lord Yu entered the palace, I saw him once. ”
Lu Qingrong was not surprised.
At this time, Lu Manyu, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Did the emperor order the release of people?" ”
This is obviously a knowingly question, and even the emperor's eldest grandson couldn't help frowning when he heard it.
Lu Qingrong didn't think about it, and replied: "Lord Yu doesn't seem to have seen the emperor. ”
She was deliberately vague.
After all, the emperor's refusal to see the courtiers because of her health is not something that she, a woman in the house, should know. Lord Yu kindly told her, but she should not talk nonsense.
Lu Manyu didn't continue to ask, but looked at Lu Qingrong with a playful expression.
The emperor's eldest grandson was much more direct, and immediately explained: "Lord Yu really failed to face the saint...... To tell you the truth, the emperor's grandfather has been in poor health recently, and he was even more unconscious yesterday, and he has not improved until this time. ”
Hearing that the emperor was already "unconscious", Lu Qingrong tried his best to suppress the sense of foreboding in his heart.
At this time, Lu Manyu seemed to hear it for the first time: "What? I didn't even know about it! ”
"What about the matter of the Marquis of Jingyuan?" Lu Manyu's tone became more and more exaggerated, "The prison of the Criminal Department is not a good place, the prince has been locked up for so long, and now that the suspicion has been cleared, why do you continue to stay there and suffer?" ”
She looked extremely anxious, looking many times more anxious than Lu Qingrong.
Lu Qingrong realized that he shouldn't be too calm at the moment, and immediately put on a sad face.
Xu was aware of her sadness, the emperor's eldest grandson first wanted to speak and then stopped, and finally saw that Lu Qingrong never took the initiative to ask for help, so he had to say it himself: "This way, in fact, is not nothing!" ”
Having said that, it is not okay for Lu Qingrong not to answer.
"Please also ask the emperor's eldest grandson to make it clear!"
The emperor's eldest grandson continued: "Now that the prince of Jingyuan is in this situation, as long as there is a royal **** token, the criminal department will definitely release him immediately!" ”
Lu Qingrong heard about the token for the first time, and wondered: "Dare to ask where to get the token?" ”
"The royal **** token, there are only two pieces. One of them, which was placed in the East Palace, was never taken back even after the death of my father, Wang Xu; And the other piece of power is more powerful, which is placed in the imperial grandfather's diligent palace, but the imperial grandfather is already unconscious...... At this moment, the only token that can release the prince from the prison of the Criminal Department is the East Palace! ”
Even if Lu Qingrong has a good impression of the emperor's eldest grandson, he really wants to say at this moment: You should keep it, the prince is not in a hurry to come out......
Of course, she was just secretly saying it in her heart.
Lu Qingrong was thinking about how to speak more appropriately...... The eldest grandson of the emperor has already behaved very straightforwardly.
"It's better to use the token of the East Palace first and let the prince out!"
It happened suddenly, and Lu Qingrong didn't even know whether to show joy or not.
"Don't dare!" Lu Qingrong firmly refused, "Since it was ordered by the emperor to imprison him, it is better to wait for the emperor's health to improve before asking for his life...... The emperor's eldest grandson is so loving, we can't even affect you without knowing the proportion......"
The persistence of the emperor's eldest grandson is even more unquestionable.
"This case is a misunderstanding, since it's not a big deal, Grandpa Huang won't bother with me! If it really angers Long Yan, at most he will punish me for copying books, it's not a big deal! ”
The eldest grandson of the emperor, who had been extremely stable just now, seemed to reveal the frankness unique to him at this age.
Lu Qingrong was extremely cautious, whether this kindness was true or not, she didn't intend to accept it.
As if he didn't expect her to refuse, the eldest grandson stood up: "If you are grateful, Mrs. Shizi and Concubine Lu will just say it, and she will also strongly persuade me to help!" Now that it's past lunchtime, I'm going back to school! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw him walk out of the side hall without looking back.
Lu Qingrong looked at the back that was no different from an adult, and was suddenly surprised.
I haven't finished saying this yet, why did I leave?!
At this time, Lu Manyu suddenly spoke: "The remaining half is up to me!" ”
Lu Qingrong looked back at her, with doubts and worries in his eyes. I want to confirm my guess, but I'm afraid that this guess will come true.
Lu Manyu didn't notice her complicated eyes at all, and said leisurely: "Using the token is not a big deal for the East Palace. But since the death of the crown prince, this is still the first time in the world! In this case, the fourth sister must have some pay, right? ”
Lu Qingrong's face was flat: "What do you want?" ”
"A jade pendant."
