Chapter 469: Breaking the Siege
Before you see him, you hear his voice first.
Lu Qingrong was stunned for a moment.
This voice was unfamiliar to her.
But in a huge palace, who can call himself "this palace", she still knows.
The next moment, the human wall in front of the door quickly retreated to both sides, making way for a rather wide passage to welcome the visitors.
When Princess Jing Tang Yue walked into the side hall of the East Palace with the queen mother, Lu Qingrong was no longer surprised.
Seeing this, Lu Manyu was surprised, and immediately put away the arrogance just now, and greeted the queen with Lu Qingrong.
Lu Manyu lowered her eyebrows on the surface, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, the queen mother, who rarely shows up on weekdays, didn't come early or late, why did she sneak into the East Palace at this time!
Yu Guang wandered between Princess Jing and Lu Qingrong a few times, and she seemed to understand a little.
At this time, the queen mother seemed to have just seen Lu Qingrong, turned to Lu Manyu and asked, "This is the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Jingyuan, right?" ”
"Yes." Lu Manyu was extremely respectful.
"Recently, they have a lot of things in the house, why do they have time to enter the palace?"
This sentence is still asked by Lu Manyu.
Lu Manyu had no choice but to reply: "I heard that the Criminal Department opened the trial of the case of Jingyuan Hou Shizi yesterday, and I was really worried about the fourth sister, so I thought about asking her to come over and ask for details. ”
In the past, Lu Manyu almost never spoke in front of the queen, and he was not sure how to deal with it at the moment, thinking that the queen had always been alone, and had nothing to do with Fengning Hall and East Palace, he didn't dare to say more.
Today's queen wears a crown of dragon and phoenix beads. Dressed in a colorful group shirt, the gold embroidered dragon and phoenix pattern style on it is much more low-key than the queen mother's, and it can even show a sense of elegance. It's a rarity. However, she had never worn a single piece of jewelry, and seemed to have come out in a hurry.
The queen mother sat upright, and after listening to Lu Manyu's words, her eyebrows raised slightly: "I forgot, you are all girls of the Lu family!" Merely...... The two of you sisters talked about why there were so many people outside, as if the guards of the East Palace were gathered outside the door! ”
Lu Manyu's face flushed. I was speechless for a moment.
Lu Qingrong was silent for a long time, and simply stepped forward: "Back to the queen mother, just now it was just because I had a disagreement with Concubine Lu. Xu spoke too excitedly, so that the guards outside mistakenly thought that we had an argument, so we came here. ”
Lu Manyu's first reaction was that there was nothing disadvantageous to him in saying this. He nodded.
The Queen hesitated for a moment. Then he asked, "What are you arguing about?" ”
Lu Manyu secretly said that it was not good in her heart, but she could only watch Lu Qingrong continue to speak.
"Concubine Lu said that there is a **** token in the East Palace, which can release the prince from the criminal department in advance, so she kindly reminded me that I can go and ask the emperor's eldest grandson to borrow the token for use. I didn't agree with that, and when I refused, I was inevitably a little too vehement......"
Lu Qingrong didn't tell the truth.
She didn't pull the emperor's eldest grandson into the water. But he didn't let go of Lu Manyu.
Lu Manyu was angry and glared at her in front of the queen.
Lu Qingrong disagreed.
She did it on purpose.
Lu Qingrong's words have their own proportions. The matter of the emperor's eldest grandson. It's not your turn to take care of it, and when things are still unclear, it's not appropriate to speak rashly.
And Lu Manyu is different.
Lu Qingrong has nothing to say to her, and she can't watch her be so obsessed anymore, falling deeper and deeper, harming her own small things, if it affects the Lu family, it will be intolerable. That's how the queen responds in front of the queen, just to see how the queen will react.
When the queen heard this, she asked quietly, "Why do you refuse?" ”
"I don't know much about the exercise of this token, I just think that since the emperor ordered the prince to be imprisoned, it would be better to wait for the emperor to personally order the release of people. Using the token of the East Palace, there is still a suspicion of cutting first and then playing, if the emperor's eldest grandson really agrees, it can only make us even more afraid......"
After hearing Lu Qingrong's response, without waiting for the queen to express her position, Tang Yue next to her breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the queen immediately showed her first smile of the day, and it was just a short moment, which was enough to make Lu Qingrong's heart feel a little calm.
I saw that the queen mother turned to Lu Manyu again, and asked in a deep voice, "What she said is the truth?" ”
Lu Manyu's anger was overshadowed by nervousness, and she didn't want to admit Lu Qingrong's accusation, and she couldn't think of other words for a while.
After all, the real scene that happened just now was far more serious than Lu Qingrong's accusation.
"Yes." Lu Manyu gritted her teeth and nodded, "It was me who was abrupt, and I didn't think it through, so I spoke out first." ”
Lu Manyu excused herself indiscriminately.
The queen even smiled at her: "Sisters help each other, and it is reasonable to be in a hurry and not thoughtful, it doesn't matter." It's just that Concubine Lu still has the responsibility to take care of the emperor's eldest grandson after all, and she still has to be reckless when she acts! ”
"Follow the teachings of the Queen." Lu Manyu nodded again and again, seeing that the queen did not delve into it, a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
The queen didn't pay attention to her anymore, and turned to Tang Yue beside her: "The palace is also old and confused, on a whim, I asked you to accompany you to the East Palace, wanting to take a look at the emperor's eldest grandson, but I forgot that he should be studying at the moment!" ”
Tang Yue replied with a smile: "Where are you confused!" We're just a step late, and looking at the time, the emperor's eldest grandson should have just left. ”
Tang Yue had something to say, and the people present knew it, but no one broke it.
The queen smiled with relief: "In that case, let's go back too!" ”
got up and walked to the door, the queen stopped, turned back and greeted Lu Qingrong: "You can also go with us, so as not to stay here and have another dispute." ”
These slightly disgusting words were obviously said to Lu Qingrong, but they made Lu Manyu chuckle in her heart.
Could it be that the queen made a special trip to relieve Lu Qingrong?
also found it unbelievable, as well as Lu Qingrong himself.
On the way out of the East Palace, the doubts in her heart became stronger and stronger.
How did Tang Yue know that he was in trouble in the East Palace?
How did she invite the queen to go and solve the siege?
Of course, Lu Qingrong would not ask these questions in front of the queen.
Fortunately, since leaving the East Palace, the queen didn't say anything more and went back to the harem directly.
Lu Qingrong went out of the palace with Tang Yue.
Before walking out of the Shenwu Gate, the two of them endured and didn't speak.
After leaving the palace gate, Tang Yue took the initiative to mention: "You accompany me back to Jingwangfu first!" ”
Seeing that Lu Qingrong seemed to hesitate, Tang Yue said again: "Now that the palace is in chaos like this, we have nothing to avoid!" ”
Lu Qingrong had a lot of questions in his heart, and he really needed to ask what was going on, so he didn't refuse at this time, followed behind Tang Yue, and boarded the carriage of King Jing's Mansion.
