Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 211 I Will Protect You

The imperial physician examined the sixth prince carefully, and left after making sure that the sixth prince was fine.

The adults worked hard for him, but the sixth prince didn't know anything, and continued to happily play with Tangtang.Tangtang dangled the bell ball and walked quickly to the east of the warm couch, and the sixth prince crawled over. The closer he got to Tangtang, the happier the little guy smiled.

Lu Yun looked at her son silently. After a long while, she asked her niece with a complicated expression: "A Nuan, how did you say that chestnut came from?" All the maids in the room sent out, but her voice was still very low. , I am afraid that neither of the children can hear.

The fifth prince cried so pitifully, Lu Yun couldn't help but sympathize, but when he thought that the chestnuts might be fed by the fifth prince, Lu Yun felt as if he was grabbed by a hand.Before entering the palace, her father and sister-in-law had euphemistically hinted that her harem was unpredictable. Since entering the palace, Lu Yun had been cautious and hadn't encountered anything for more than a year, but today an accident happened that almost killed her son.

Is the person who feeds his son chestnuts unintentional or intentional?

Lu Yun felt cold all over.

Lu Mingyu gently held her hand, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, the emperor will definitely explain to you when he comes back, and I will believe whatever he says, but from now on, Auntie must order the people around my cousin to pay close attention. , we can’t let others feed Brother Yu indiscriminately.”

The one who fed the sixth prince with chestnuts must be a prince with fleshy palms and backs. Lu Mingyu couldn't be sure what Emperor Minghui would choose, whether to investigate thoroughly and give the sixth prince justice, or to make a fool of himself.She only knew that her aunt had to listen to the emperor on this matter, and she was even more cautious in private, otherwise, if the emperor wanted to calm things down but her aunt would have to ask the bottom line, it would only affect the relationship between her aunt and the emperor in the end.

Of course, Lu Mingyu secretly hopes that the emperor can support her aunt and little cousin, but Emperor Ming Hui is not only her uncle, but also the emperor, no one can guess the heart of an emperor.

Lu Yun couldn't figure it out either, she believed that Emperor Ming Hui had true feelings for her, but Lu Yun didn't even dare to think about whether Emperor Ming Hui would pursue his biological sons for Brother Yu.If she had to choose, she would rather believe that this incident was just an accident than Ming Huidi being in a dilemma.

"I know, Ah Nuan go back first, I'll ask you to accompany me some other day." Lu Yun said considerately.If something like this happened, the niece would only cause trouble if she stayed in the palace.

Lu Mingyu nodded. After all, this is Emperor Ming Hui's family matter, and it's not appropriate for her to know too much.

Finally hugging the sixth prince, Lu Mingyu left with her daughter in her arms.

As soon as she left, Concubine Shu led the fifth prince to make amends, and clarified to Lu Yun that the chestnuts were definitely not fed by the fifth prince to the sixth prince, "Sister Yun, Brother Jiong, you know that although he is occasionally naughty, he He is very obedient, he will never touch chestnuts if I don’t let him eat them, the emperor also asked him just now, and he sent Brother Jiong back because he was sure that Brother Jiong had done nothing wrong.”

Holding the fifth prince's shoulders with both hands, Concubine Shu said to Lu Yun calmly.

Lu Yun understood what she meant, the emperor released the fifth prince, but left the fourth prince behind.

The truth is still uncertain, but Lu Yun softly comforted Concubine Shu and his wife. Seeing that the fifth prince was crying until his eyes were swollen, Lu Yun really felt sorry for the child, so he hugged her in his arms.Concubine Shu was afraid that the emperor would come over in a while and think that their mothers were an eyesore, so she confirmed that the sixth prince was safe, and quickly took her leave and left.

After sending them off, Lu Yun hugged her son, frowning tightly.

Is it the chestnuts given by the fourth prince?The fifth prince is still young, and the fourth prince is thirteen. If he really did it, if he didn't know the danger of his son eating chestnuts, why did he rush to push the matter to the fifth prince?If the fourth prince knows that there is danger, then...

Lowering her head, looking at her fat son obediently sitting in her arms holding a bell and dangling the ball, Lu Yun realized for the first time the difference between her son and the heir of an ordinary family.The son of an emperor is born with dignity and dignity, but what comes with it is danger that ordinary people can't predict.

Lu Mingyu returned to the Duke's Mansion, but her heart was still in the palace, anxiously hoping that Chu Xing would come back soon.

But tonight Chu Xing came back later than usual, and he didn't change his official uniform in the front yard. Instead, he came to the backyard wearing a black official uniform.Lu Mingyu went out to meet him with her daughter in her arms, seeing Chu Xing's serious expression, she knew something was wrong.

"Daddy!" Tangtang couldn't see the seriousness on his father's face, he smiled and stretched out his hand towards him.

The little girl was wearing a crabapple red begonia, her face was pink, and Danfeng looked at her father with bright eyes.Chu Xing's face softened in an instant, took his daughter and kissed him, gave his wife a wink, and went to the inner room first.Lu Mingyu asked Caisang and Lanyue to watch outside, and she followed closely behind.

Without changing his clothes, Chu Xing sat on the chair, and waited for Lu Mingyu to sit down beside him, before he said in a low voice: "The fourth prince is in jail for murdering the sixth prince."

Lu Mingyu's heart skipped a beat.

Chu Xing held his daughter's chubby hand, and asked her seriously: "Not long after you left the palace, the emperor handed over the fourth prince to Jin Yiwei, and also arrested a group of court ladies who had been to the imperial garden. Do you know the inside story?" He vaguely felt that what his wife should know, what he heard in the palace may not be true.

Lu Mingyu immediately described the situation at that time.

Chu Xingdao: "The chestnuts should be fed by the fourth prince."

Lu Mingyu nodded slowly. There was a prince who deliberately harmed the sixth prince. Lu Mingyu had already guessed it. What shocked her was Emperor Ming Hui's treatment of the fourth prince.Thinking of Jin Yiwei, Lu Mingyu's heart moved, and he wondered: "Since the emperor has already convicted the fourth prince, why does Jin Yiwei take over? What does it have to do with those court ladies?"

Chu Xing has no clue for the time being. Jin Yiwei directly obeys the emperor's orders, and his mouth has always been tight. Although Chu Xing can ask someone to inquire, he doesn't need to be so anxious to know the situation. If he chases too closely, it will easily cause misunderstanding.

"Let's wait and see." After confirming that the case had nothing to do with his wife and daughter, and the sixth prince was fine, Chu Xing relaxed a lot, kissed his good daughter, and asked Lu Mingyu not to enter the palace again for now.Lu Mingyu knew it well, took her daughter back and asked Chu Xing to change her clothes first.

As night fell, the family of three sat on the warm couch and had dinner, returning to their usual tranquility and warmth.

In Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Minghui, who had been busy in the front hall for a day, also came to accompany Lu Yun for dinner. This was the first time the emperor and concubine met after leaving the Imperial Garden today.Emperor Ming Hui behaved the same as usual, he just teased the sixth prince when he came over, Lu Yun nervously accompanied him, peeking at Emperor Ming Hui from time to time.

Sensing that she was looking at her again, Emperor Minghui smiled and looked at her sideways: "What do you want to ask? What's wrong with me?"

But Lu Yun didn't know if he could ask, the harem can't be involved in politics, is the matter of the fourth prince counted as politics?

With a look of hesitation on her face, Emperor Minghui looked at her and tried hard for her, motioned her to sit on the warm couch, then hugged her son in one hand and Lu Yun in the other, bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and said in a low voice: "I promised you Father, I will definitely protect you, and I will not let anyone who harms you and Brother Yu be spared."

When Lu Yun heard this, half of her body was warm, while the other half was cold.The fourth prince is his son, he actually ignored the relationship between father and son, and put a thirteen-year-old boy in a cell?The Fourth Prince did something wrong, Emperor Ming Hui should be angry and punish him, but is the current punishment too harsh?
Emperor Minghui has been observing her, seeing her doubts and fears towards him, Emperor Minghui has no disturbance in his heart.She is kind-hearted, she has never experienced intrigues in the palace, so she will naturally feel that he is cold and heartless, if Lu Yun is happy because the fourth prince is in prison, then she is not the girl he likes.

"You think I'm ruthless, don't you?" Emperor Ming Hui let go of Lu Yun, lifted up his fat son who had been trying to reach his neck, and kissed him, then played with the sixth prince's forehead and explained quietly: "Ah Yun, what do you mean?" How ruthless is a 13-year-old child to murder his ten-month-old brother? The fourth child is so vicious at the age of thirteen. If I let him go easily, he will only do more ruthless in the future. Once he is given anything If there is a chance to stand up, it will be our brother Yu who will be in danger in the future." Even his father.

Punishing the fourth child lightly is tantamount to harming the sixth child. Emperor Ming Hui would never make a tiger a trouble.

Lu Yun was silent, and it took him a long time to muster up the courage to ask: "Are you sure the fourth prince did it on purpose?"

Emperor Minghui's smile was restrained, and a murderous intent flashed in the depths of his black eyes, "The fourth brother deliberately wanted to harm brother Yu, and planned to plant brother Jiong when he started. But remind him that chestnuts can kill brother Yu, otherwise There is someone else." He can see the character of the fourth child, and other people will definitely be able to see it as long as they pay attention.The fourth child is still too young. He knows that he is harmful, but he doesn't know that he has long been a puppet in the hands of others, and all his actions are led away by others.

"Who is that person?" Lu Yun's warm body suddenly cooled down, and he couldn't believe that behind the fourth prince, there was another cruel person who wanted her son's life.

"I don't know yet, Ah Yun, don't worry, I've already sent someone to investigate." Emperor Ming Hui held Lu Yun in his arms again, with a trace of coldness in his words.If he could know the movements of Lu Yun and the fourth prince in a short period of time, the oriole must be hidden in the palace.Concubine De is not that stupid, even if she wanted to harm Brother Yu, she would not use her own son to do it.Xiao Wu and Lao Si live together, Concubine Shu has always acted prudently and will not take risks, so the only ones who can benefit from this matter are the Queen and Concubine Xian.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Empress Wan was sitting on the bed, constantly turning the sandalwood beads on her wrist, seemingly calm, but her right eyelid kept twitching, and her heart was in a mess.Sending the little maid to instigate the Fourth Prince to kill the Sixth Prince, Queen Wan was not completely sure, she just thought that it would be the best if it was successful, and she would not be implicated if it failed. The Fourth Prince is so smart, he will definitely find a good reason for himself before doing it In the end, this matter will most likely be attributed to the fourth prince who kindly fed his younger brother but did something bad.

But Queen Wan never expected that the fourth prince's head would turn so fast, and she couldn't wait to do it today after being reminded today, let alone the emperor's resolution of the case so quickly, not to mention imprisoning the fourth prince, and even sending Jin Yiwei to arrest and interrogate him today The maids who pass through the imperial garden do not leave any room for breathing.

Those two little maids are hers, but they don't work in Zhaoyang Palace. The only thing Empress Wan can count on now is that they are afraid of her previous threats, and for the sake of the family outside the palace, they will never drag her out until they die.It's just, that's Jin Yiwei, can the two maids really pass Jin Yiwei's way of interrogating people?

Empress Wan became more and more flustered, and the beads turned faster and faster.

At first watch, the night outside the window was as dark as ink.

Empress Wan lay down anxiously, still spinning the Buddha beads in her hands. In the Qianyuan Palace, Lu Yun also had trouble falling asleep, leaning against Emperor Minghui's arms with a lot of thoughts.Emperor Ming Hui spoke to her softly, not wanting her to worry too much about it, the man's embrace was warm and his voice was gentle, Lu Yun unconsciously fell into sleepiness.

Just when her eyelids were heavy and she was about to fall asleep, Guo Yong's hoarse voice deliberately lowered came from outside: "Your Majesty, this old slave has something to report."

Lu Yun immediately woke up and sat up to look at Ming Huidi.

Her peach blossom eyes were full of uneasiness, Emperor Minghui knew that he could no longer fool her at this time, so he said helplessly: "You sit first, I will come back when I go."

Lu Yun wanted to go down to help him get dressed, but Emperor Ming Hui domineeringly pushed him back into bed, so Lu Yun had no choice but to wait obediently.

Emperor Ming Hui put on his outer robe and went to the front hall.

When Cao Wei, the leader of Jin Yiwei, saw him, he knelt down with a heavy face and offered the confession with both hands.

Guo Yong bent down to take it, and was about to present it to the emperor, but Emperor Minghui was too lazy to bother, and ordered him in a cold voice: "Read."

Guo Yong hurriedly stopped, looked down at the confession, and with the help of the bright light, for some reason, he saw the word "Queen" in the middle at a glance.
