Chapter 289 Calm Restored

"Oh? Could it be that Changluan and the others have already won over daddy and the others, and made Lu Lingxuan's wish come true?" Ruan Zhuqi was a little surprised. In her expectation, although Han Changluan was resourceful, the two old bones of Hu Luguang and Han Changluan were not for nothing. Fame, this lip-to-mouth battle should last for a long time.Although Ruan Zhuqi firmly believed that Han Changluan would defeat Hu Luguang and the others, she never thought it would be so soon.

Qi Shu shook her head, which made Ruan Zhuqi even more curious, only to hear Qi Shu whispering something in her ear, and Ruan Zhuqi stood up in shock, and asked: "Is the news true?" "My subordinates saw it with their own eyes!" Qi Shu Nodding without hesitation.

"Murong Dehai vomited blood on the spot? Hahaha...Gao Wei, Gao Wei, your minister, old and dead, I want to see, when Murong Dehai and Hu Luguang are dead, you What do you rely on to support your foundation in Northern Qi!" Ruan Zhuqi paused suddenly, clenched her fists tightly, "Du Luguang... Hu Luguang... Tell Chang Luan to stare at Mu Tipo, and Hu Luguang cannot move."

Qi Shu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, Ruan Zhuqi was still kind and righteous after all.The chatter and laughter of a man and a woman outside the door got closer and closer, and the expressions of Ruan Zhuqi and Qi Shu quickly returned to calm. "Huh? Second brother! Why haven't I seen you for a long time?" Qi Fang looked at Qi Shu in surprise, he had indeed not seen Qi Shu for a long time.

The expression on Qi Shu's face changed slightly, and Ruan Zhuqi said calmly, "How can you still see your brother in your eyes? You can come and go freely here in this palace, without any courtesy, and your eyes only know straight. Looking at your 'Xiang girl', Qi Shu is by Ben Gong's side every day, but you actually said you didn't see it."

Qi Fang's face was slightly embarrassed, he hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to explain, scratched his head and thought about it, it seemed that what Ruan Zhuqi said really made sense.Could it be that he paid too much attention to Rue Xiang and neglected Qi Shu?Qi Fang thought about it, and looked at Yunxiang furtively, and this look met with Yunxiang's eyes, which made Yunxiang feel ashamed and embarrassed, and said repeatedly: "The spring water is brought, and the servant girl is going to cook it for the mother." Tea!" After speaking, he fled in a hurry.

The banter at the corner of Ruan Zhuqi's mouth hadn't subsided completely, and an unfamiliar servant had come to deliver the news.At this time, it was just the morning court, and with such a big incident, Xuan Shidu should come to Yinfengyuan later, I think the servant who came here was sent by Xuan Shidu to tell Ruan Zhuqi not to wait for him to eat with him.

Qi Shu stepped forward, slightly leaned over to exchange a few words with Miansheng's servant, his expression became a little puzzled.Before Qi Shu could speak, Ruan Zhuqi asked directly, "But what happened?"

Qi Shu hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's Hu Luguang who wants to see the master."

Ruan Zhuqi suddenly felt a sense of tension in her heart. It must not be a good thing for Hu Luguang to see her at this time, maybe she came to Xingshi to question her.Ruan Zhuqi's heart is also up and down at the moment. Regarding Hu Luguang, Hu Luguang can be said to be her weakness before she makes up her mind to get serious.Because of awe, she didn't dare to make trouble in front of Hu Luguang; because he was kind to her, she never really confronted him, even this time, it was under the guise of Mutipo.

"Is Your Majesty ready?"

Hearing this, the servant thought that Ruan Zhuqi also wanted to see Huluguang, but she was afraid that Xuan Shidu would not allow it, so she said, "Your Majesty has already agreed to return to your mother. Master Hulu said that he is old and wants to see his daughter. Your Majesty is His Majesty's favorite person, so naturally she will not refuse. Your Majesty will make some preparations first, and after a while, Emperor Huo will come to send your Majesty to Ruanchen Palace to meet Lord Hulu." After the servant finished speaking, he bowed his head leave.

"Wait, where is Your Majesty?" Ruan Zhuqi was a little flustered, she didn't know how to face Hu Luguang in a while, and only hoped that Xuan Shidu would make this meeting shorter.

The servant looked at Ruan Zhuqi with an understanding look, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, your majesty is also in the Ruan Chen Palace. After your majesty has finished talking to Lord Hulu, he will accompany you back. It’s from another empress!” Saying this, the servant half-covered her mouth and went out.

Ruan Zhuqi thought about it, and felt that it was not appropriate for her to go alone, but Di Tuo had been here for a long time, so she couldn't do it if she didn't go.After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and went to the emperor's house. Before leaving, he told Qi Fang: "Go and invite the queen to come and get together!"

In the side hall of Ruan Chen Palace, Hu Luguang sat quietly in front of the desk, watching Ruan Zhuqi slowly walk up to him step by step.The disappointment in Hu Luguang's eyes could be seen from afar. When Ruan Zhuqi approached, Hu Luguang knelt down and said loudly: "Old minister Hu Luguang has seen Concubine Shu!"

"Daddy..." Ruan Zhuqi panicked, and quickly helped Hu Luguang up, saying, "What is Daddy doing? My daughter can't afford Daddy's big gift!"

Hu Luguang supported Ruan Zhuqi's arm with one hand, his eyes were unusually firm, and he said: "If it is really the daughter of the old man, it is a small matter whether to accept this gift or not, so don't be rigid. It's a sad thing. Liu Xu, are you still this old man's daughter?"

Hu Luguang stared into Ruan Zhuqi's eyes like fire. Ruan Zhuqi could barely avoid it, and hurriedly said, "My daughter is still my father's daughter. I don't know what my daughter has done to make my father feel sad, and my daughter is terrified!"

"Good! Good!" Hu Luguang slowly stood up from the ground, and said in a slightly heavy voice: "This morning, Mr. Zuoxiang suddenly vomited blood, and now he fainted and passed out. Do you know about this?"

Ruan Zhuqi was stared at by Hu Luguang closely, and she didn't dare to tell lies, so she said honestly: "My daughter has heard a little bit about it, and I think Mr. Zuo Xiang is old, busy with state affairs, and doesn't pay attention to his body, so he fell ill. .If Dad is concerned about this matter, he can directly ask His Majesty to send the best imperial doctor in the palace to treat Prime Minister Zuo."

"That's really good, so, the old man thanked the concubine Shu for her kindness on behalf of the left minister! The old man came today to ask the empress for some things. I wonder if the empress will answer the old man?" Ruan Zhuqi didn't want to talk to Hu Luguang She was so embarrassed that she had no choice at the moment, so she could only nod her head in agreement.

"The first thing, I would like to ask your majesty, it is rumored that your majesty will not allow His Majesty to contact other women, but is it true?"

Ruan Zhuqi hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

"The second thing is that it was your mother's idea to make Taiji the Junjun of Changguang County?" Hu Luguang's face gradually turned livid.

"Yes." Ruan Zhuqi bit the bullet and admitted.

"The third thing, the empress can tell the old man, why did you enter the court? Is it for the glory and wealth? In order not to hurt the old man's family? Or does the empress have some other purpose?" Hu Luguang's face was already livid, and every muscle was tense. Shaking with anger.

Ruan Zhuqi pursed her lips, subconsciously took a few steps back.Just when she felt extremely helpless, a warm chest supported her behind her. "Liu Xu entered the palace because of me. What's the matter? Is Ai Qing very interested in the relationship between Zhen and Xu's children?"

Ruan Zhuqi's gaze was dodged from Hu Luguang's examination and torture, and when he saw Xuan Shidu coming, he felt relieved instantly, and subconsciously hugged Xuan Shidu tightly. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xuan Shidu lowered his head to comfort Ruan Zhuqi.

"Your Majesty!" Hu Luguang yelled, and Ruan Zhuqi shrank back into Xuan Shidu's arms in shock. Xuan Shidu frowned displeasedly. Master Xiang vomiting blood in the court hall is not due to illness, but someone started poisoning Prime Minister Zuo two months ago!"

Ruan Zhuqi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, and she instinctively told her that this incident probably had something to do with Mu Tipo, and she gritted her teeth in hatred: a despicable guy who has more success than failure!

"Oh? Aiqing has evidence? Rong Aiqing's illness was only a morning thing. Aiqing begged to see Concubine Shu when she came down from court. She never even went out of the palace gate. She knew someone poisoned Rong Aiqing! Could it be Aiqing?" You already knew it, if you knew it earlier, why didn't you tell Rong Aiqing?" Xuan Shidu raised a series of questions.

Hu Luguang replied righteously: "The old minister did know about this matter before entering the palace, but it was too late when the old minister knew about it. When the old minister went to tell Prime Minister Zuo about this at the first time, Prime Minister Zuo was poisoned. It’s deep, and there’s no cure. In the courtroom today, the old minister wanted to find out the real culprit, but unexpectedly, Mr. Zuo Xiang was so anxious about Tai Ji’s appointment that he became poisonous, so he missed the matter of tracking down the real culprit.”

"Since that's the case, why didn't Aiqing go to find the real culprit, but instead came to Concubine Shu to ask some weird questions?" Xuan Shidu, with an indifferent expression, seemed not very interested in Murong Dehai's affairs.

"Because the real culprit is Concubine Shu!" Hu Luguang pointed his finger straight at Ruan Zhuqi, the anger in his eyes made the veins on Hu Luguang's face pop out.

Ruan Zhuqi was taken aback. Although it was very likely that Mu Dipo had something to do with this matter, it was not something she ordered.Hu Luguang glared at Ruan Zhuqi's eyes, and Ruan Zhuqi was astonished and didn't know how to refute. She already felt that any of her words would be superfluous explanations to Hu Luguang's ears.He doesn't believe her anymore, obviously without definite evidence, he has already begun to doubt her.

"Why didn't your mother speak? But the old minister found out the truth and got scared?" Hu Luguang pressed on every step of the way.Ruan Zhuqi pinched the flesh of her palm with her fingernails, gathered herself together, and said to Xuan Shidu: "I don't have any concubine." As soon as she said the words, Ruan Zhuqi became even more uneasy. She was clearly telling the truth, but Ruan Zhuqi didn't know why she said this It seems that the confidence is not enough.

"I believe in you." Xuan Shidu's eyes were firm, and he reached out to hold Ruan Zhuqi's hand, "No matter when, I will stand with you."

"Your Majesty! Concubine Shu ordered General Gao Anak to poison the left minister's diet, as evidenced by letters! Your Majesty must not disregard the laws of the country for personal gain!" Hu Luguang took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to the In the hands of Xuan Shidu.

There are only a few numbers on the letter: "Dove kills Murong Dehai", and the signed word "Liu Xu" clearly caught Xuan Shidu's eyes.Ruan Zhuqi's gaze swept over the letter quickly, and she felt a sudden shock in her heart: This word really resembles what she wrote! "Your Majesty, this...isn't this..." Ruan Zhuqi felt indisputable for a moment.
