CHAPTER XLII
Lu Ming is a thoughtful person, and he must have gone through some entanglements when he escaped from the big ideal without caring about the safety of his family. And if Shangguan Jun wants to capture Lu Ming again, I'm afraid his family will be his weight.
"Then you help me check, where is Lu Ming's family imprisoned?" Yu Xianlong had no choice but to agree to her.
After Jing Chen returned to the queen's palace, Wutong greeted her, and Jing Chen handed her the buns he bought.
"Didn't you always want to eat buns outside the palace, rewarding you."
Wutong happily took it, "Xie Niangniang...... There was another pause. "However, I didn't mention that I wanted to eat steamed buns, how did Niangniang know."
What answered her was the rumor, Jing Chen had already stepped away, and she chased after her, "Niangniang......"
Li Yuni mentioned to Jing Chen that Li Yushu had been unwell recently, so she took the opportunity to visit the old lady in Shangguan Mansion and went to the General's Mansion, and Mrs. Guan was quite surprised by Jing Chen's arrival. I heard that I came to visit Li Yushu, and I was even more moved.
"Is my cousin feeling better?"
Mrs. Guan hurriedly said: "It's much better, it's not a big deal, and I'll take a trip." He led Jing Chen and Li Yuni into Li Yushu's courtyard together.
Li Yushu has been feeling tired recently, and the doctor's pulse does not look like a sign of pregnancy, so she has been taking medicine to recuperate. Hearing that Jing Chen was coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him. Jing Chen helped her up and shouted, "Big cousin." ”
"I'm much better, I'll give you a run."
"Hearing that you are sick, my eldest cousin is not at ease, in order to make him devote himself to the court, I will also come to see you for the emperor."
Listen, now Jing Chen will tell jokes. Li Yuni quipped. "I think we were the only ones who made fun of him at the beginning, but now it's time for her to take advantage." Mrs. Guan saw that several people were talking and laughing, and Li Yushu was also refreshed and quite pleased.
Several people chatted and talked about Pingcheng again, Li Yushu "He came back from Pingcheng, his head was dejected, and he swore that he must slash Yuan Heguang." ”
Li Yuni also has a lot of experience: "The eldest cousin is invincible, he has never suffered a defeat, but he doesn't want to meet someone unladylike, don't say that he hates, even the second child hates itchy, this battle will be fought sooner or later." ”
Jing Chen: "Big cousin, after a hundred battles, Yuan Heguang must not be his opponent, just like the flat-topped Dali back then, he almost effortlessly beat the other party and abandoned his armor." ”
Li Yushu: "Yuan Heguang and Lu Ming are different, Yuan Heguang was brought out by him, it's hard to say if he really wants to fight, Ping Dali, Lu Ming has no actual combat experience, and it is inevitable that he will lose the battle." ”
Jing Chen: "Once the war starts, the innocent will be harmed. It's still the common people who are pitiful. ”
Li Yushu: "Yes, if you win, you will be exiled, and if you lose, your wife will be separated, and the sky is different, Lu Ming is not an example." ”
Li Yuni couldn't listen anymore and stopped: "The two of you are there to hurt the past and the present, this kind of thing is something that the emperor should consider, we, serving a good child and taking care of the family is a big deal, and other things are none of our business." If there is a day......"
What will happen?" Yin Jingchen and Li Yushu asked almost in unison.
Li Yuni nodded at the foreheads of the two and smiled: "I won't tell you, but there is one thing, I won't be a hostage......"
Jing Chen and Li Yuni sat down for a while before leaving.
When Jing Chen returned to the palace, it was already sunset. Li Yushu couldn't inquire about the whereabouts of Lu Ming's family, but one thing is certain: her family must be in Shangguan Jun's hands. But it's so secretive, since he wants to use Lu Ming's family to blackmail him, why don't you tell him directly, but he hides it like this. And what is he for?
After Jing Chen had eaten, he called Yu Xianlong to ask him about the news he had found. Yu Xianlong thought about it and finally confessed to her.
"Niangniang forgives the sin, the minister really hasn't found the news in the past few days, he is really incompetent, and the minister doesn't dare to ask Li Xingyun for news. The emperor's purpose in detaining the Lu family was to lure the snake out of the hole, and now Niangniang has intervened again, I'm afraid it will ........"
"I don't know what you said, but we and Lu Ming grew up together. How can I stand idly by and watch him fall in trouble? ”
"But, if the emperor knows about this........"
"Don't worry, I'm just helping Lu Ming find out the news of his family, I won't interfere with anything else, now that I've come to this point, I just hope to settle it peacefully, now that the emperor has hidden his family so tightly, then I can only see Lu Ming and persuade him to take the initiative to show up and settle it peacefully with the emperor."
"These few outings have been secretly protected by secret guards, I'm afraid it will be difficult to contact Lu Ming again."
"I know, so I'm going to have to think again." After Yu Xianlong retreated, Jing Chen paced and pondered. She didn't notice it after Shangguan Jun came in, he frowned when he saw her uncertain. He deliberately made a noise again, and Jing Chen turned around and saw that it was him who breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death." I walked up to him and saw that he seemed displeased, and I calmed my mind.
"It's like this every time, walking without sound." Jing Chen said angrily.
Shangguan Jun picked up the tea bowl, took a sip gently, and a lazy voice sounded: "I've been here for so long, what do you want to be so engrossed." ”
"I didn't ...... No, just a few little things came to mind. She also wanted to take a sip of tea to hide her nervousness, and was about to pick up the tea bowl, but before the outstretched hand could reach it, he took her hand and looked at her, she raised her head and smiled at him, and he handed her the tea bowl.
"Tell me anything."
She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm careful about it, you'll know when the time comes." Seeing that he was still so serious, she walked over and tugged at the corner of his shirt, and he smiled, a little reluctantly.
He rubbed her face and smiled softly, "It's so mysterious." When she saw him smiling, she was relieved, and the two went to see Shangguan Yi'er with a smile.
The old lady Shangguan was almost well ill, and she hadn't been out of the house for several days, and when she saw that the sky was good, she specially asked Chu Yunxi to take her out to breathe. Yunxi walked around the yard with the old lady in his arms. The old lady sighed when she saw the scenery in this house.
"I always feel that the scenery in this garden is not as good as ours in Pingcheng, and your mother came here to specially repair and plant some, but the flowers and plants always feel that there is less accumulation of years, and I don't feel comfortable looking at it."
Chu Yunxi nodded, it is true, the old plum tree in the old lady's courtyard has a unique style, and the most beautiful flowers here are not as good as the grass in front of the Furui Hall in the old lady's heart. Because it is full of memories, full of traces of time. She knew that the old lady was homesick, and she didn't want to, because there were traces of the people she loved the most, and there were her most beautiful memories.
"Originally, I still wanted to go back, but now I can't go back."
Chu Yunxi was afraid that her sadness would cause heartache, so she hurriedly persuaded: "If grandma is uncomfortable looking at these, then Gai Ming'er, I will take you to Junchen Palace to have a look, the scenery there is better than this." ”
"Okay, it's rare and elegant there, I think most of it was repaired according to Jingchen and Jun'er's preferences."
"Grandma, what are you talking about with your sister-in-law?" The old lady saw Jing Chen and Li Yuni coming in together, and greeted her with a smile.
"As soon as I said you, you arrived, so it can be seen that you don't resist chattering."
Chu Yunxi also echoed: "Yes, I mentioned Junchen Palace to my grandmother just now." ”
"Grandma likes it there too?"
"I like it, I liked it the first time I went."
"Then I will have the opportunity for you to stay there for ten and a half days."
"Okay." The old lady smiled and agreed.
"Is the child okay?" The old lady patted Jing Chen's hand and asked.
"Thank you, grandma, for your concern, well, you can eat and sleep."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, because it had been out for a while, the old lady was a little tired, and the three of them hugged the old lady back to the room.
After the old lady fell asleep and the three of them were free, Jing Chen said to Chu Yunxi: "Last time, I picked out some materials with my second sister-in-law, and the people in the palace cut some styles, but I still look good at the old gentleman's house, and I wonder if my sister-in-law can help me change it." ”
"Coincidentally, a few days ago, Mr. Xu ordered a sample of winter clothes for his grandmother, and he hasn't picked them up yet, so I'll go with you, change it there, and listen to Mr. Xu's advice."
Jing Chen nodded in agreement. "There's a sister-in-law." Chu Yunxi smiled and shook his head.
The two of them came to the tailor shop in a sedan chair together, the old man was very happy to see Yunxi, and helped Jing Chen change the style, until sunset, the two of them came out of the shop, Jing Chen saw that the time was too late, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Chu Yunxi to go back alone, so he ordered someone to follow Chu Yunxi, and she was still accompanied by Xianlong.
The two of them still walked the same road as the accident before, but this time Jing Chen did not receive Lu Ming's letter, she couldn't help but worry, could it be that he was in a situation and was caught by Shangguan Jun? Or is he being targeted? She thought of many possibilities, and she was so anxious that each of them tormented her that she prepared for the worst, until she returned to the palace and was relieved when Yu Xianlong told him that nothing had happened in the court today.
She cut off contact with Lu Ming, and when she thought that Lu Ming might never appear again in the short term, Lu Ming brought her news. And Jing Chen, the person who brought the news, never thought of it.
Chu Yunxi rarely entered the palace, and even if he came, most of the time it was with the old lady Shangguan, but today he was with Li Yuni, Jing Chen was very surprised.
Li Yuni: "Today, it happened that Yunxi went to pick up the clothes, Mr. Xu made a style, and asked Yunxi to bring it to you, why don't we come over, take a look, is it the style you like?" ”
"No, the second sister-in-law will definitely laugh at me." Yin Jingchen put away his clothes and looked at Chu Yunxi as well.
Chu Yunxi smiled and said nothing. Li Yuni was not happy to get up.
"If you don't show me, I know who it's for, ostensibly for the little princess, but in fact, it's ......."
Jing Chen came over to cover her mouth, and Chu Yunxi shook his head with a smile.
"Okay, I won't talk about it, I know it's your secret."
Wutong smiled and put it away for Jing Chen. Jing Chen left Li Yuni and Chu Yunxi to dine together, and the two left after having dinner with Jing Chen. Jing Chen felt bloated because he had eaten more, so he wandered around the courtyard and strolled around. As the night grew darker, Jing Chen thought of the clothes sent by Chu Yunxi, so he asked Wutong to show it to her.
