   Chapter 229 Thorough Investigation (1)

   At this time, the fourth prince also frowned and looked at Concubine Qin fixedly: "Mother concubine, the assassination of the second sister-in-law has nothing to do with you?"

   No matter how angry Concubine Su hated Lu Mingyu, she didn't have the ability to assassinate Lu Mingyu outside the palace.

   From this point of view, the most suspicious person is naturally Concubine Meng. The Marquis of Guangping holds a heavy army and has many generals. The eldest prince has been building the mansion for four years, so it is very convenient to do some small actions in private.

   The eldest son of the eldest prince will be born soon, and the second prince's residence will soon have a direct son. Out of jealousy, Concubine Meng, the eldest prince, had all the motives to take action.

   Concubine Qin, who failed to calculate Lu Mingyu, ended up being deprived of the position of virtuous concubine and confined to the palace, how could she not hold grudges in her heart.

   Concubine Qin herself does not have the ability, but Empress Dowager Zhao has it! The Zhao family outside the palace has it!

   Therefore, what the Fourth Prince was most worried about was that Concubine Qin privately instigated the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the Zhao family took action against Lu Mingyu.

   Concubine Qin glanced at her son: "Of course it's irrelevant. During this period, I went to Shouning Palace every day to accompany your grandmother. I haven't even seen an outsider. The assassination of Lu Mingyu has nothing to do with me."

   The fourth prince was dubious and lowered his voice: "Concubine Mother, this matter is no trivial matter. The Queen Mother and the second brother both went to the Wenhua Palace, and King Xingyang also entered the palace."

   "I heard that the royal father was very angry and had already summoned the Minister of Punishment to enter the palace. It seems to be a thorough investigation of this matter."

Concubine Qin pouted, and there was a hint of sourness in her tone: "Lu Mingyu has a good father. With only the queen and the second prince, your father may not be willing to hurt your bones. If King Xingyang is in front of the imperial court, your father will be reluctant. It's going to be tough this time!"

The deep meaning in   's words made the fourth prince secretly startled: "Mother concubine means that the person who did it is..."

   "There are only so many people in the palace. If you think about it carefully, you will have the answer."

  Concubine Qin is cautious by nature, even if the mother and son speak privately, they are not willing to say it too clearly: "In short, this matter has nothing to do with your imperial grandmother."

   "Your grandmother hates the granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family, but the Lu family has the blood of the heavenly family in her belly. How can your grandmother be willing to do it?"

   The fourth prince understood, and his eyes became complicated. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "I don't know if it was the Meng family or the elder brother."

  Concubine Qin was noncommittal: "No matter who did it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with our mother and son. Don't be in a hurry to move forward, lest your father be suspicious and unhappy."

Two dogs fight, play off.

  The eldest prince's faction and the second prince's faction fight as fiercely as possible. Better to lose both!

  Concubine Qin thought about it in her heart, and whispered to the fourth prince: "In this period of time, you should be more honest and stop dawdling in front of your father. Let's wait until the truth is found out."

  The Fourth Prince nodded.

  …

  Lu Lin and Li Jingweng's son-in-law returned to the Lu Mansion together on horseback after leaving the palace.

   The cool breeze could not shake the hot anger in my heart.

   Weng's son-in-law had no time to talk all the way, and only after stepping into the Lu Mansion did they have time to whisper a few words.

   "Father-in-law, I'm sorry." Li Jing's voice was a little obscure: "I was careless and negligent, and I didn't expect someone to be so daring and dare to stab Xiaoyu in the street. Fortunately, Xiaoyu is fine, otherwise, how can I face my father-in-law!"

Lu Lin didn't blame his son-in-law, but patted Li Jing's shoulder and said, "Husband and wife are one body. Xiaoyu married you and enjoyed the wealth and honor of the second prince and concubine, so she has to bear the various dangers that come with it. "

   "It's your fault. You don't have to blame yourself."

  Father-in-law is so reasonable, Li Jing, who is the son-in-law, is both moved and heartbroken, and almost shed two tears of a boy.

"This matter, the emperor has already ordered a thorough investigation, and Xiaoyu is fair, and give the Lu family an explanation." The anger in Lu Lin's heart condensed into the frost in his eyes: "However, we have to keep an eye on it. Playing tricks from it, trying to push a dead ghost out."

   Li Jing took a deep breath: "Don't worry, father-in-law. Since this matter falls on the Ministry of Punishment, I will go to the Ministry of Punishment to watch it myself."

  Lu Lin nodded slightly, and looked at Li Jing's eyes a little lightened: "Don't make a quarrel with the emperor because of this. You are a father and son. The emperor cherishes His Highness the eldest prince, and also loves you, the son-in-law."

  Because the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, Emperor Yongjia will hesitate tonight.

  Li Jing's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice, "I understand what my father-in-law means."

   Heavenly family father and son are different from ordinary father and son. There is both flesh and blood, and there is a difference between the ruler and the minister. His dissatisfaction with his father's partiality must not be revealed.

   In short, I haven't had the strength to lift the table yet, so I have to endure a little bit.

  Lu Lin nodded in relief: "It's good if you understand." After a while, he said, "Xiaoyu was frightened today, I'll go see her first."

   Li Jing responded: "I'll go with my father-in-law."

   As he spoke, he had already stepped into the courtyard.

  …

   It was dark at this time.

  Lu Mingfang and others gathered in the courtyard, and Lu Mingyu was asked by everyone to lie on the bed together. After Lu Lin came in, the siblings exited first, and let the father and daughter talk alone.

   "Father," Lu Mingyu sat up from the bed: "How about you entering the palace?"

   Under the bright candlelight, Lu Mingyu's beautiful and heroic face turned pale. Today, the tire gas has moved, and it will take some time to recover.

  Lu Lin looked at his daughter like this, not to mention distressed, he reached out and touched Lu Mingyu's hair, and whispered to the trip to the palace: "...The emperor is really too partial."

   "When I went, both His Highness and the Queen were kneeling, and the emperor was hesitant. It can be seen that the emperor also knew who would be able to do such a thing."

   "I took retreat as advance, and the emperor made up his mind to investigate this matter thoroughly. His Royal Highness has such a partial father of the eldest son, it is really bad for eight lifetimes."

  The eldest son of which family did not grow up coquettishly, and inherited the family business as a matter of course.

   happened to be here at Li Jing, and he was crushed by his eldest brother since he was a child. Now that they have become princes, the direct descendant certainly has a great advantage. But in the Tian family, the difference between direct descendants and concubines is not as obvious as that of ordinary people. After all, the progeny is also a prince.

  It is not uncommon for the first dynasties to be the crown prince as a concubine prince.

  The eldest prince, who is so favored, does not have the heart to fight for the reserve, it is a strange thing.

Lu Mingyu also thought about it over and over again, and said in a low voice, "My father and I thought about the same thing. Concubine Su doesn't have the ability. Concubine Qin has just been released, so she doesn't dare to reach out for the time being. No matter how angry the grandmother is, she has to worry about my pregnancy. Pregnant. Only the eldest prince is the one who has the motivation and the ability to set up this game of assassination."

   "I don't know, who is the one who did it."

   Is it the Meng family or the eldest prince?

   The eldest prince and the Liang family are also suspected!

   Lu Lin sneered murderously: "Whoever it is, he is dead!"
