Chapter 143: Calling the Shots

"The queen is also here to enjoy the flowers, right?" Lu Yuning smiled and said: "This peony is the most compatible with the queen's mother, and it's no wonder that the queen mother will come here to enjoy the flowers." ”

The queen nodded reservedly, and said lightly: "I heard from the palace people in the palace that the peony flowers here are blooming, so I came to take a look." ”

Lu Yuning and Zhou Cairen accompanied the queen to enjoy the peony for a while, and after the queen left happily, the two of them were not interested, so they went back separately.

As soon as she returned to her own territory, Qing Dai immediately reported the follow-up of this matter to Lu Yuning.

"Not long after we left, the queen arrived, and then Master Tao was sent to the emperor by the queen. Master, what do we do now? ”

Tao Yunyun is also Lu Yuning's cousin and Tao's nephew, although Liu's is not a good one, Lu Yuning's uncle has always been good to Lu Yuning, and the relationship with Tao is also very close.

It stands to reason that Lu Yuning knew that this matter should be to intercede with the emperor at this time, but Qingdai felt that this matter was originally aimed at the master, if the master went over to plead with the emperor at this time, wouldn't it be easier for people to grab the handle?

Besides, Lu Yuning and Tao Yunyun almost made a marriage contract, and Tao Yunyun had a different affection for Lu Yuning.

If the emperor knows this, he will inevitably mind in his heart, will the master continue to be favored by then?

After all, ordinary men can't tolerate their wives and concubines having anything to do with other men, let alone the supreme king.

Lu Yuning pondered for a while, got up and said, "Come with me to Jianzhang Palace." ”

After Qingzhi heard Lu Yuning's decision, she was a little worried: "Master, have you really thought it through?" ”

In Qingzhi's opinion, Lu Yuning's decision was somewhat risky, she felt that even if the queen sent Tao Yunyun to Jianzhang Palace, but the queen did not actually grasp any Tao Yunyun's fault, the emperor is not the kind of unreasonable faint monarch, even if Tao Yunyun really broke into the imperial garden by mistake, if he did not make any big mistakes, the emperor may at most demote him or reprimand a few words, and he will not let him lose his life.

But if Lu Yuning went over to intercede at this time, it would be easy for the emperor to think more.

Qingzhi and Qingdai's worries, Lu Yuning also understood, but after thinking about it, she still felt that she should go to Jianzhang Palace at this time, but she went to Jianzhang Palace not to intercede with Tao Yunyun, just as Qingzhi thought, Lu Yuning also felt that just because Tao Yunyun simply broke into the imperial garden by mistake, the emperor would not treat him well.

But if she doesn't go to Jianzhang Palace at this time, what will the emperor think of her? Will she think that she is weak and dare not plead with Tao Yunyun?

Lu Yuning made a decision, and Qingzhi and Qingdai didn't persuade anymore, but followed Lu Yuning to Jianzhang Palace.

In Jianzhang Palace, Tao Yunyun knelt in front of Luo Chengjing, waiting for someone to find the little eunuch who showed him the way.

At this moment, a little eunuch outside came to report that Lu Jieyu was coming.

After Luo Chengjing heard the little eunuch's report, he looked down at Tao Yunyun, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Let Lu Jieyu come in." ”

Tao Yunyun's heart moved slightly when she heard Lu Jieyu's words, but her face did not show any flaws, and the whole person was still kneeling in a regular manner, without even raising her head for half a minute.

After Lu Yuning came in, he didn't deliberately avoid suspicion and didn't look in the direction of Tao Yunyun.

She first glanced at Tao Yunyun before saluting Luo Chengjing and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor? ”

Luo Chengjing shouted, and asked with a warm smile on his face, "What is the matter with Concubine Ai asking to see me at this time?" ”

When Lu Yuning heard this, he couldn't hide his anger and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine came to ask the emperor to make the decision for the concubine." ”

didn't come to intercede for Tao Yunyun.

"Oh?" Luo Chengjing looked at Tao Yunyun, then at Lu Yuning, and asked with interest: "I originally thought that Concubine Ai was here to intercede for Lord Tao, but I didn't expect that I guessed wrong. ”

Lu Yuning said: "Actually, the concubine originally thought about interceding for the concubine's cousin, but then the concubine thought about it carefully, the emperor is sage, cousin, she doesn't need the concubine to intercede for him at all, the concubine just wants the emperor to find the person behind the concubine who wants to kill the concubine." ”

"The one who hurt you?"

"Yes." Lu Yuning nodded, and said: "The concubine almost fell into someone else's way today, today Zhou Cairen originally asked the concubine to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, who would have thought that the concubine met a little eunuch who had helped him before on the way to the appointment, and told the concubine that the imperial garden had entered a foreign man, so that the concubine had better go another way." ”

"The concubine didn't think much about it at the time, seeing that the little eunuch didn't seem to have bad intentions, so she listened to him change his path and went to the place agreed with Zhou Cairen."

"Who knew that when the concubine returned to Linglong Pavilion after appreciating the flowers, she heard that the foreign man was actually the cousin of the concubine, and the concubine left with the front foot, and the queen mother appeared on the back foot."

"When the concubine heard this, she was suddenly afraid, and the concubine thought that she was fortunate that the concubine met the little eunuch at that time, and changed her path after listening to his words, otherwise when the concubine met her cousin, the queen mother suddenly appeared, and the concubine couldn't tell it even if she had a mouth."

But the more the concubine thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was not so simple, how could it be so coincidental? The concubine's cousin happened to appear on the way the concubine was going to pass, and the queen mother happened to appear at that time. ”

"The concubine doesn't ask for anything else, the concubine just wants to know who the concubine has offended, and she actually tried so hard to harm the concubine."

Lu Yuning also almost passed by that road Tao Yunyun didn't know, at this time after listening to Lu Yuning's words, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if Lu Yuning really passed by there today, the two would definitely meet, and it was impossible for the two of them not to say a word after meeting.

If the two were met by the queen mother when they were talking, then his crime would not be as simple as accidentally breaking into the imperial garden, but a private meeting with the concubine, and even worse, the two might be charged with fornication.

After Luo Chengjing listened to Lu Yuning's words, he quietly looked at Lu Yuning, who had a frank face, for a moment, and said to Lian Yongwang: "This matter is handed over to you and Liu Dahai, you two must find out clearly for me." ”

After speaking, Luo Chengjing reassured Lu Yuning again: "Concubine Ai extinguishes the fire, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”

The anger on Lu Yuning's face slowly disappeared when she heard this, she looked at Luo Chengjing with a look of trust, and said, "The concubine believes in the emperor. ”
