Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 245 Follow-up

   As soon as Concubine Meng woke up, the suffocating and dull tension in the palace also dissipated.

   Queen Qiao also went to a concern, her expression was much more relaxed, and she said to Lu Mingyu: "You are right. Concubine Meng Gui is better alive than dead."

  The living can never compete with the dead.

  Alive, you will keep making mistakes.

  Lu Mingyu said lightly: "I'm afraid the noble concubine is very wronged."

   Queen Qiao couldn't help but glanced at her mouth: "These hypocritical faults are not all used to it."

   Who is used to it, needless to say.

Knowing that this was a thorn in Queen Qiao's heart, Lu Mingyu didn't say much, and instead discussed the follow-up matters with Queen Qiao: "Meng Guifei is seriously injured, at least she will stay on the couch for a few months. If you want to punish, it can't be right now. ."

   "There is no need to be soft on the Meng family's side. Cut off one of the Meng family's hands first."

  There is such a good opportunity to move the Meng family, so naturally I can't let it go.

   weakened the Meng family, greatly reduced the power of the eldest prince, and suppressed the third prince.

  Empress Qiao's eyes shone brightly: "You're right. What happened in the courtroom, including Qiao Ge Lao, your father, and A Jing, will definitely hurt the Meng family."

Lu Mingyu nodded, and gave Queen Qiao an idea: "Daughter-in-law dares to speak up, please don't take offense to my mother. The royal father is busy with political affairs, so he should not worry about the affairs of the harem. Concubine Meng Gui is going to recuperate, and Concubine Qin has repeatedly instigated her. I'm not happy. Concubine Su is stupid and ignorant."

   "The harem is empty, the mother and queen might as well choose a few young and beautiful palace servants to serve the father and emperor."

  Queen Joe: "..."

  Empress Qiao looked a little complicated. She ordered the palace servants around her to step back, and then said in a low voice, "It's not that I haven't used this method. It's just that the emperor is still willing to go to Yanxi Palace because of his old love."

   In short, Xixin is a man's nature, and Emperor Yongjia is also willing to sleep with young concubines. However, no one can shake the status of Concubine Meng who truly loves her.

   Queen Qiao has tried several times, but it's not enough to lose the favor of Concubine Meng Gui. The harem also added a few fresh faces, and she felt that it was boring. Will not make another move.

  Lu Mingyu said softly, "There are no outsiders here, so my daughter-in-law will speak clearly."

"Royal father really has true feelings for Mrs. Meng. No matter how young and beautiful the concubine is, she will not be able to enter Mrs. Father's heart. However, that was the past. Now, Mr. Father is at odds with Mrs. Meng because of the assassination. Why is Mrs. Meng? Will she commit suicide? It must have been her father who said something unbearable for her."

   Queen Qiao was stunned and thought about it for a while: "You mean, the Meng family has resentment in her heart, and the emperor is also dissatisfied?"

   "Yes." Lu Mingyu took over the words: "Now, because the Meng family almost died, the royal father suppressed everything. When Meng's health gets better one day, the account will always be settled."

   "Disputes between the father and the Meng family are inevitable."

   "When the mother-in-law chooses palace servants, she might as well follow Meng's demeanor when she was young."

  Queen Joe: "..."

   This move is really damaging and ruthless.

  Emperor Yongjia likes Meng Jiaojiao, who is bright, lively and willful.

  According to this standard, select a few younger and more beautiful than Meng Guifei. As long as there is one eye that can enter the Son of Heaven, it is enough.

   Queen Qiao looked at her daughter-in-law with increasingly complicated eyes: "That's a good idea."

Lu Mingyu stretched out his hand and held Queen Qiao's hand: "This idea is actually not profound. The mother never did it because she still had expectations for her father and could not pass herself. Please forgive the daughter-in-law for speaking directly, the mother It can't go on like this anymore."

   "After waiting for so many years, can the queen mother still not see the father and emperor?"

   The last sentence is too sharp.

Yes! Emperor Yongjia's true love was Concubine Meng Gui, who cherished Concubine Qin for his mother, and went to Concubine Su when she was greedy for beauty.

   She, the wife, has been neglected for many years, and now she is in her 40s. When I was young, I couldn't win my husband's heart. Could it be in middle age?

   Queen Qiao shuddered and turned her head to one side.

   After a long time, Queen Qiao calmed down, turned her head, and looked at Lu Mingyu: "Ben Gong will think about this matter carefully. You don't have to worry about it any more. Go back to Lu's house today, so that you can have a child."

   Don't mention the matter of letting Lu Mingyu return to the Prince's Mansion.

   Originally, Lu Mingyu planned to return to the Second Prince's Mansion after three months of pregnancy. Now that there is an assassination, who has the face to let Lu Mingyu go back? Simply live with your maiden!

  Lu Mingyu responded with a smile.

  …

   Shortly after noon, Lu Mingyu returned to Lu Mansion in a carriage.

  Lu Mingfang breathed a long sigh of relief: "You enter the palace for a day and a night. We are all on our guard, lest you have an accident in the palace."

   Shen Lan and Lu Minghua each held Lu Mingyu's hand and looked up and down carefully.

  Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "I'm fine, nothing happened. Concubine Meng Gui has already woken up, and my mother asked me to continue to live in Lu's house to have a miscarriage."

   This is a pleasant surprise.

   The crowd was delighted, and there is no need to elaborate.

   In the evening, Lu Lin, Lu Fei and his son returned to the house together.

   Lu Lin asked about the situation in the palace, and quickly made a decision: "There must be someone in the barracks watching over the training, and Lu Fei will go back tomorrow. I want to stay and return to the barracks after the emperor disposes of the Meng family."

  Lu Fei nodded in response: "I'm in the barracks, just stay with the foster father at ease."

   Concubine Meng escaped from the dead, let alone. The Meng family will not shed a layer of skin, and the Lu family will never give up.

   Coincidentally, the Qiao family also thinks the same.

   The next day, Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment presented the complete file to the imperial case.

   Second Prince Li Jing presented a memorial. Qiao Gelao and Lu Lin also each made a memorial, asking the emperor to punish Guangpinghou severely. Also on the memorial was the Marquis of Puyang.

  The Marquis of Puyang was thrown into a basin of sewage for no reason, and his anger was no weaker than that of the Qiao family and the Lu family. Anyway, the Meng family is unlucky, which is beneficial to the Zhao family. Taking advantage of this time, it is good to step on it hard.

  There are not a few people who agree with the memorials of Chinese officials and military generals.

   In the harem, there are also Empress Dowager Zhao and Empress Qiao blowing wind.

  Emperor Yongjia was never indecisive. After weighing it, he quickly made up his mind.

  Emperor Yongjia called the Marquis of Guangping into the palace, and summoned the Prince of Xingyang, the Marquis of Puyang, Qiaoge Lao, and other princes. In front of everyone, he personally held the Marquis of Guangping accountable.

  The testimony on the dossier was clear, and the Marquis of Guangping was irrefutable. He knelt down and confessed his guilt: "I am eager to protect my sister.

The pale-faced eldest prince knelt down and pleaded for Marquis Guangping: "Father, Marquis Guangping has made great contributions to the Great Wei. I made a big mistake this time. Fortunately, the second brother and sister are not in serious trouble. "

  The third prince, Li Hao, also knelt down to plead for his father-in-law: "My son's father-in-law is a famous general of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he has countless elite soldiers. Please allow him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds and continue to fight for the Great Wei."
