   Chapter 545 The errand (1)

   Zhao Yu said so, but he definitely didn't think so.

  Lu Mingyu smiled lightly and said no more.

  Su Guiren has been reduced to this stage, and it is indeed her secret "contribution". Su Guiren completely fell out of favor with the murderous "gathering slander". It was really unexpected that Su Guiren was pregnant. If Emperor Yongjia hadn't made a move, she would not have allowed Su Guiren to give birth to this child safely.

  Su Guiren was greatly stimulated by the miscarriage, and the imperial doctor who was ordered to treat the sickness quietly added one or two herbs to the Ningshen decoction prescribed.

  A noble person who has fallen out of favor completely, no one cares about what medicine he drinks, and no one goes to test the medicine or ponder the dregs. In short, soon, Su Guiren lost his mind and went crazy.

  I wonder if Queen Qiao noticed the difference. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a tacit understanding and have never mentioned this one.

   It was Zhao Yu, who suddenly mentioned it today. However, he was just talking casually to relieve his boredom, and he never meant to discuss it in depth or to complain about Su Guiren.

   Even Li Hao, Meng Yunluo and his wife never mentioned Su Guiren. Who would care about Su Guiren's life or death.

   After Zhao Yu left, Lu Mingyu was also a little tired.

   Qiyun helped Lu Mingyu to take a nap in the bedroom.

   Lu Mingyu fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

  This sleep is an afternoon. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark. Lu Mingyu slept soundly and soundly, and stretched out: "Qiyun, what time is it now?"

   Another familiar voice responded to her: "Just after the unitary hour."

  Lu Mingyu immediately recovered: "Why did you come back so early today?"

   A chuckle rang in her ears, and a big familiar warm hand caressed her cheek: "Sleep a little longer if you want to."

Lu Mingyu subconsciously leaned his face into his palm, rubbed his face, and laughed softly: "I've slept for almost an afternoon, how can I still sleep." Then he sighed again: "The month is getting bigger and bigger, and so are people. Getting tired more and more easily. These days, I get sleepy every now and then.”

After    finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and raised his head to look at Li Jing.

  Li Jing frowned slightly, and his expression was a little condensed.

   "What happened?" Lu Mingyu asked softly, his heart sank slightly.

  Li Jing looked embarrassed, but he stopped talking.

  Lu Mingyu suddenly understood: "Did your father send you an errand, and you want to leave the capital to run an errand?"

  Li Jing smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes."

   "The governor of Shandong has made a case. Shandong has already had the second civil unrest this year. Although it was quickly suppressed by the garrison, the people's grievances are boiling and it is quite uneasy. If it is not appeased in time, there will be a big trouble."

   "Today's court meeting, the royal father directly decreed that I will go on a tour of the counties and counties in Shandong on behalf of the emperor to pacify the hearts of the people."

   As the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, he is indeed the best person to go on tour on behalf of the emperor. It is also his responsibility.

   At this time, he left Beijing and went to Shandong, and it would take a few months to say the least. Lu Mingyu is eight months pregnant, and she is about to give birth in more than a month...

"When I leave, it will take three months at least, maybe even longer." Li Jing's face was full of guilt, and his big hand fell on Lu Mingyu's belly: "You will give birth soon, my husband, but I can't stay with you in the palace. Xiaoyu, I'm really sorry for you."

Lu Mingyu stretched out his hand, put it lightly on the back of Li Jing's hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't say anything. I was already mentally prepared. It's also a good thing that the emperor gave you such an errand. If you don't go, why don't you let me Can Li Hao go? Just leave Beijing and go to Shandong in peace, and I can take care of myself."

   Li Jing's eyes became even more embarrassed, and he sighed: "If the royal father asked me in advance, I would definitely refuse to resign."

  Lu Mingyu looked at him, and said lightly, "My father made an order in front of hundreds of officials, how can you, the crown prince, refuse? Could it be that I am worried that my wife who is about to give birth will not be able to travel far away?"

  Conversely, the Emperor Yongjia had this decree directly after he had foreseen this.

  Emperor Yongjia did not intend to dethrone the East Palace, but it was essential for father and son to guard against suspicion from each other. Emperor Yongjia ordered Li Jing to leave the Beijing office at this time, which was clearly intentional.

  Li Jing frowned.

  Lu Mingyu quickly calmed down and said in a low voice, "My father knew what I did secretly before, but I couldn't get it off. This time, it's like giving me some color."

   "Don't worry, I can handle this. Don't worry about me all the time, and go to Shandong to do your errands with peace of mind. And you have to do the errands properly and beautifully, so that the emperor can't pick out the faults."

  Li Jingshen took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay. I'll do my errand well and come back as soon as possible. I will write you a letter every five days in the future. If you have any business, remember to send it to me immediately."

   "My father ordered me to leave as soon as possible. I won't go anywhere tomorrow. I will spend a day with you and the children in the East Palace. I will leave early the day after tomorrow."

  Lu Mingyu hummed and snuggled into Li Jing's arms.

  The couple embraced silently.

  Li Jing quickly recovered himself and said with a smile, "I have to go to Jiaofang Palace and tell my mother. If you are inconvenient, don't go."

  Lu Mingyu nodded and replied, "You have dinner with your mother and come back!"

  Emperor Yongjia recently fell in love with two young beauties, either going to Fanghua Palace, or even Yanxi Palace less often. Emperor Yongjia hardly set foot in the Jiaofang Hall, and Queen Qiao was alone every day, and she was strangely lonely.

  …

   Half an hour later, Li Jingmai entered the Jiaofang Hall.

Queen Qiao had already received the news. Knowing that Li Jing was going to leave Beijing for an errand again, she was both angry and reluctant to give up, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Ms. Lu is about to give birth. At this time, your father and emperor asked you to go to Shandong. It will take a few more months. When the child was born, your biological father was not in the palace, this was intentional to make Lu Shi unhappy."

   "Also, there are a lot of bandits in Shandong, and from time to time there will be civil unrest. The place is really dangerous. You should be more careful when you go there. Be sure to bring more guards and soldiers."

   Queen Qiao felt distressed for her daughter-in-law, and even more so for her son, and ranted for a long time.

   This is the end of the matter, and it is not okay not to go.

Li Jing pretended to be brisk and comforted Queen Qiao: "My father is very important to me, so he gave me such an important errand. If the father orders the third younger brother to visit Shandong on behalf of the emperor, where will I put the face of the prince? ?"

   This is true.

   Queen Qiao sighed with a smile: "Thinking about it like this, Ben Gong's mood will be much better. Anyway, you should be on duty. Don't worry about the affairs in the palace. Ben Gong will take good care of Lu Shi."

   Li Jing said sternly: "The only person I can trust in this world is the Queen Mother. As soon as I leave, I will entrust Xiaoyu and the child in her womb to the Queen Mother."
