"What's the matter?" Jiang Xuan stood up and blocked Lu Qingrong, who was still lying on the bed behind him.

Lu Zhu lowered his head with a look in his eyes, and replied: "It was Mo Nan who asked the slave maid to report to the prince, the lights of Qinyi Courtyard were on all the time last night, and Mrs. Wu went out of the house to the palace early this morning, counting the time, it is almost time now." ”

After saying it in one breath, the green bamboo head lowered even deeper.

Jiang Xuan didn't ask any more questions, and directly ordered her to retreat.

Lu Zhu left, Lu Qingrong finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Mrs. Wu, what's wrong?" What happened last night? ”

Jiang Xuan saw that she had finally taken care of herself, so he hurriedly sat back on the edge of the bed and told her in detail.

When Lu Qingrong heard the end, he sat up unconsciously.

"Just took her away in full view?" Lu Qingrong was very surprised.

"What else else?" Jiang Xuan smiled helplessly, "If you wait until the emperor sends someone out, she will only be even worse." ”

It's worse for sure, but Mrs. Wu herself doesn't know this......

Lu Qingrong understood that Jiang Xuan did not intend to cover Madam Wu, but insisted on his duty and did not want people to disturb the emperor's tranquility.

It's just that since Mrs. Wu has lost such a big face, it goes without saying what she did when she went to the palace early in the morning.

It must be to sue Jiang Xuan for his evil state.

Lu Qingrong thought over and over again.

Jiang Xuan's eyes, however, were not idle.

Since Lu Qingrong started to do it, the silk quilt had already slipped off, and Jiang Xuan could see it staring at the embroidered red plum blossoms on the collar of her bed.

The so-called "cold plum in the snow" is set off by Lu Qingrong's snow-white neck. Presumably these plum blossoms are talking about.

It's a pity that it's still a little farther away after all......

Where did Lu Qingrong know that he was thinking about this, he was still worried. said: "Mrs. Wu must have gone to Fengning Hall to complain." The emperor knows the reason, but the queen mother doesn't know......"

Jiang Xuan came to his senses, and while retracting his gaze, he said, "Don't worry about this, the Queen Mother will definitely not condemn me this time." ”

"Why?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"Do you remember how Lijuan appeared on my way back to Beijing?" Jiang Xuan asked rhetorically.

It was arranged by the Queen Mother!

Lu Qingrong was shocked at this time.

At the beginning, Jiang Xuan returned to the dynasty in triumph, and the momentum was extremely strong. The Queen Mother worked hard to install eyeliner beside him, and Lijuan was one of the most important.

The Queen Mother mistakenly thought that Lijuan was just a palace maid with little qualifications, and she didn't know that she was already pregnant.

So. Later, he naturally thought that Lijuan had been trusted and favored by Jiang Xuan, and was pregnant with his child. In addition, Lijuan was born prematurely for some reason, so that the Queen Mother never suspected half of it.

"But...... Even if the Queen Mother still regards Lijuan as her own, how can you be sure that she will not punish you? Lu Qingrong was particularly puzzled.

Jiang Xuan didn't want to hide it from her. simply said: "The Queen Mother." You want to take me for yourself. ”

"You promised?" Lu Qingrong did not doubt the authenticity of this matter, but he was more persistent in the result.

"As long as the queen mother and the emperor have the same opinion, I will naturally be loyal." Jiang Xuan pretended to be serious and said.

Lu Qingrong sneered, hearing his disguised denial, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Jiang Xuan spoke again: "What's more, at this moment, the Queen Mother probably doesn't even have the time to deal with Mrs. Wu!" ”

"Why is that?" Lu Qingrong had already forgotten about what he was angry with Jiang Xuan just now, and asked one after another.

"The matter of walking in the water in Muxi Hutong. There are new clues. Jiang Xuan lowered his voice slightly, "After many confirmations." The palace people who had contact with the mother-in-law on the stove before also came to a conclusion. It is from the East Palace. ”

"Donggong?!" Lu Qingrong opened his mouth in shock.

She really didn't expect this to be the result.

The eldest grandson of the emperor is not yet an adult, and although the crown princess is from the Wu family, she is a kind and kind person, I am afraid that no one would expect that the East Palace could be involved in this matter.

Jiang Xuan saw her doubts and confirmed: "The crown princess has already admitted it in front of the emperor yesterday. ”

It stands to reason that Lijuan is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and it makes sense that Donggong, as a popular candidate for the crown prince, has this reaction.

But Lu Qingrong always felt that something was wrong, and asked again: "The identity of this child, Lijuan, Fengning Hall doesn't know, and King Jing's Mansion doesn't know either, how did Donggong know?" ”

"According to the crown princess's confession, someone from the Qinzheng Palace reported to her, and the little eunuch later admitted it, and his confession matched."

Lu Qingrong couldn't think of any doubts for the time being, and instead asked, "Then how does the emperor plan to send it?" ”

"The jury is still out." Jiang Xuan shook his head, "It's just that the crown princess is under house arrest in the East Palace, and no one is allowed to contact him, including the emperor's eldest grandson." ”

After Lu Qingrong sighed, he could also feel the difficulty.

Even though the crown princess happily confessed her guilt, the emperor was not so easy to let her go.

First of all, she is the daughter of the Wu family, and the Queen Mother acts as her backer.

What's more, she is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson.

How the emperor dealt with her, in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, would inevitably become a display of attitude towards the emperor's eldest grandson.

What's more, in this crime, Lijuan, an "unidentified" person, was involved, and it was even more chaotic.

It is no wonder that the emperor did not surrender easily.

"It seems that this house arrest is going to be indefinite......" Lu Qingrong then sighed, "What about the emperor's eldest grandson?" ”

"I shouldn't have told you in the first place, after all, it's not decided yet." Jiang Xuan paused, "Listening to the emperor's meaning, it is to let your third sister take care of it." ”

"What?" Lu Qingrong was about to jump.

She didn't think that Lu Manyu would be able to take on such a big responsibility.

"She is not the only concubine in the East Palace, what about Xu Ying?" Lu Qingrong frowned and asked.

"This is not the emperor's idea, but I personally asked the emperor's eldest grandson what he thought." Jiang Xuan explained.

Lu Manyu, the emperor's eldest grandson?

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but hold his forehead.

After the death of the first crown prince, the East Palace has always been a slightly sensitive place, and Lu Qingrong has not seen Lu Manyu for a long time.

But Lu Qingrong could vaguely remember the abnormality of the last time he saw her.

uncharacteristically respectful to the crown princess, and eloquent in the face of his own questioning......

Based on Lu Qingrong's understanding of her, if the emperor's eldest grandson chose her, maybe she did it intentionally.

Helplessly, at this time, the East Palace seemed to have become the center of the whirlpool, and it was even more difficult to visit Lu Manyu.

All this made Lu Qingrong feel a little uneasy in his heart.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wu didn't know anything about this, so she would go to the palace so recklessly to complain.

And her situation in the palace, Jiang Xuan only guessed half of it.

At first, the Queen Mother didn't want to see her at all, so she only asked Mama Li to send her away with a few words.

Just when Mrs. Wu ran into walls everywhere and was about to leave the palace, the maid of Fengning Hall hurriedly chased after her: "Mrs. Jingyuan, please stay!" The Queen Mother is invited! (To be continued......)
