   Chapter 241 Fragrant Elimination (1)

  Lu Mingyu was fast before, and when he finished his business, he was not in a hurry. Instead of following Emperor Yongjia to Yanxi Palace, she went to Jiaofang Palace.

   It was only an hour of incense, and Queen Qiao came back in a hurry.

   "Mother," Lu Mingyu stood up to greet her.

Empress Qiao was anxious in her heart, stepped forward to hold Lu Mingyu's hand, looked up and down, and scolded: "You didn't raise the baby on the bed, why did you run into the palace? The emperor suddenly went to Yanxi Palace, did you agree with him? Are you related?"

  Lu Mingyu replied calmly: "Yes, I went to see the father and the emperor and asked for mercy for Meng Guifei."

   The bitter master himself intercedes, which is naturally the most suitable.

  This step was paved in time. Emperor Yongjia should appreciate it, and the eldest prince, Princess Jing'an, should be grateful to Dade.

   Queen Qiao felt a little uncomfortable: "This morning, the eldest prince asked Ajing to intercede, but Ajing categorically refused."

  Lu Mingyu replied softly: "Yes, Your Highness is for me. How can I be selfish and only take care of myself, without caring for the Queen Mother and His Highness."

   Queen Qiao's nose was sour, and her eyes suddenly became hot.

   Even his daughter-in-law, who had just entered the door, could see how eccentric Emperor Yongjia was to protect the Meng family. In addition to her status as a wife, as a queen, she is not even a lowly Su clan in terms of holy family.

  When Concubine Meng died, the first person Yongjia Emperor wanted to express his anger was her, the Queen of the Middle Palace.

   Queen Joe turned her head to one side, tears quietly falling.

  Lu Mingyu sighed inwardly, showing a trace of pity for Queen Qiao, and whispered: "Now we have the upper hand. We don't have to kill them all, we need to earn a benevolent reputation first. It's better if Concubine Meng doesn't die, and there will be more ways to deal with them in the future."

   Queen Qiao wept silently for a moment, wiped the tears with a handkerchief, then turned around and said to Lu Mingyu: "You go back to the palace first. If there is any movement in the palace, I will send someone a letter to you."

  Lu Mingyu said, "It's not in a hurry. I'm here all the time, so I'll just wait a little longer in the palace. It's just by virtue of Meng Guifei's reputation for being broad and generous."

Empress Qiao was amused, and her obscure and heavy heart was much relieved: "Alright, you are resting in the Jiaofang Palace. At Yanxi Palace, Concubine Meng is still awake, and the people in Yang Palace have a difficult labor. You have one. Pregnant people can't be hit by blood, so don't go there."

  Lu Mingyu replied with a smile.

  Queen Qiao was tense, and she was relieved at this time and felt tired.

  Lu Mingyu comforted in a low voice: "It's already like this, it's no use worrying. The mother goes to take a rest first. If there is anything, I will wake up the mother."

   Queen Qiao didn't sleep all night, and she was really exhausted after staying up until now. She nodded and said, "Bengong go to rest first. Don't sit here, go to the wing and wait for news."

  Lu Mingyu opened his mouth to answer.

   At this time, Li Jing, who was in the punishment department, also received news that Lu Mingyu had entered the palace.

  Li Jing's brows almost twisted into twists.

   Calculate the time, since Lu Mingyu has entered the palace, he should do everything he wants to do, and he must have said what he wants to say. Even if he rushed to the palace at this time, it was too late.

   That's it! He has his will, and she has her persistence.

   After a while, Li Jing frowned and instructed the servant who came to deliver the letter: "Go back and tell Xiaoyuan, and let him stay by the second prince and concubine, waiting for dispatch."

   The inner servant responded respectfully.

Li Jing thought for a while and then said: "The investigation by the Ministry of Justice is at a critical juncture, and I will be watching from the Ministry of Justice. After you return to the palace, bring a message to the second prince and concubine. Just say that the investigation by the Ministry of Justice is going well, let the second prince and concubine Relax, don't worry about me."

   The inner servant led the order back to the palace, and immediately went to the Jiaofang Hall to return to the palace. Lu Mingyu nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.

   It was Madoka, who was moved to tears when she heard the message from her master. Much more excited than Lu Mingyu.

   Sure enough, His Highness is the most considerate.

  Lu Mingyu was resting in the wing, while Xiaoyuan was guarding outside the door.

  …

   Time flickered, and it was another half day.

   Queen Qiao slept for two hours, and her complexion finally improved.

  Lu Mingyu ordered the imperial kitchen to bring food over: "The mother must be hungry, let's eat first! Only when you are full can you have strength."

  Queen Qiao smelled the aroma of the food and felt hungry, and stopped chopsticks after eating two bowls in a row.

  Lu Mingyu also has a good appetite, eating no less than Queen Qiao.

   Queen Qiao was not in the mood to gossip, so she sent Cailan to Yanxi Palace: "Cailan, go to Yanxi Palace and ask if Concubine Meng is awake."

   Cailan led the order to retreat, and returned with a different expression in less than a stick of incense.

   Queen Qiao's heart sank: "How is Concubine Meng?"

   The person she feared and hated the most in her life was none other than Concubine Meng. But now, Concubine Meng can't die.

   Cailan replied in a low voice, "Reporting to the Empress, the noble concubine has not woken up yet. However, I can barely pour in some soup. It's another matter."

"Yang Gongren's fetus is not in the right position, and she will not be able to give birth to a child. The eldest prince and concubine have no choice but to put the child first and ask the midwife to cut Yang Gongren's belly. The child's breathing is weak and the cry is small. He was born safely. Yang Gongren bleeds too much, and the eldest prince and concubine asked the imperial doctor to go, but they can’t save Yang Gongren.”

   "When the slaves went, Yang Gongren just closed his eyes."

   "The eldest prince concubine ordered the slave maid to return to the empress, and let's see what to do next."

  Queen Joe: "..."

   Didn't wait for the news that Concubine Meng Gui woke up, but waited for the bad news from Yang Gongren.

  Lu Mingyu frowned.

   In the past life, there was no such thing as Meng Guifei's death. Yang Gongren gave birth to a child safely and was sealed as a side concubine, which was quite a sight. In this life, he died so miserably in the delivery room...

   Queen Qiao finally opened her mouth and said, "This palace knows. Let someone bury Yang Gongren!"

   paused and said, "It's a happy occasion to have a baby, but Concubine Meng has not woken up yet. The good news of the birth of the emperor's grandson will not be announced for the time being. Let the first prince and concubine take good care of the child."

  Cailan respectfully took orders, and then went to Yanxi Palace to pass a message.

  In the Jiaofang Hall, Queen Qiao and Lu Mingyu looked at each other.

   Queen Qiao suddenly said in a low voice: "This Liang family will pick the time."

Yes!

  Whether it was intentional or a last resort, when Concubine Meng died, who would care about the life and death of a mere palace servant?

  Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed, and she said lightly: "After this incident, pay more attention to her."

   A person with a dark and twisted heart, once he takes the first step, his hands are stained with blood, his actions will become more and more cruel and there is no bottom line. The eldest princess died before she had time to evolve to this stage in her previous life. In the future, you have to be more careful with her.

   Queen Joe sighed silently and nodded.

  Before in Yanxi Palace, she made up her mind temporarily and hinted to the first prince concubine. Unexpectedly, the eldest imperial concubine really dared to start.

  A young and fresh life just quietly fell and disappeared without a trace.
