After Mrs. Gao left, Lu Mingyu slumped on the chair.

Lu Yi quickly rubbed her shoulders: "Mother, are you tired?"

Lu Mingyu nodded: "I'm a little tired. There have been too many things recently."

Lu Yi said softly: "I see that Mrs. Gao has understood your hint. As long as the Minister of War does not mess around with Princess Xiangning and her daughter, this matter will not be a big joke."

Lu Mingyu pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm not afraid of others seeing the joke. I'm just worried that if things get too big, it will affect Zhenli's mood."

"If it weren't for the sake of Old King Fu, I wouldn't have tied my hands in this matter. I would have taught Xiangning a lesson so that she wouldn't dare to do it in the future."

"It happens that there is Old King Fu in the middle. Sister can't go too far, and I can't ask Xiang Ning immediately. I can only let the Gao family stop thinking, so as to avoid another round of trouble in the future. Make a noise and cause trouble for Zhenli."

Lu Yi thought thoughtfully: "My Lady, do you think there is someone behind Princess Xiangning? Otherwise, how could she dare to do such a thing? Aren't she afraid of the consequences?"

Lu Mingyu smiled and said: "I guess no one is instigating it. Xiangning and Zhenli grew up together. They are about the same age, but their circumstances are much different."

"She is one of many princes and princesses, but Zhenli is different. Zhenli was born as a proud daughter of heaven. Not only does she have a noble status, but she is also favored by the royal family."

"She definitely feels that she is no worse than Zhenli, so she feels that she should get everything Zhenli gets, and she should even get more."

"If things go on like this, the friendship that grew up together will turn into jealousy, and this jealousy is poison that penetrates the intestines, it can make people crazy."

Lu Yi was a little disapproving: "It's no wonder she is unpopular if she can do such a thing to her own family."

Lu Mingyu straightened the folds of her sleeves: "She is actually afraid of death, so she found such a person, thinking that she could deny him to death when exposed. Besides, even if she really wanted to harm Zhenli, she would not find such a stupid person. People use these words to clean themselves up, but it's a pity that these little tricks mean nothing in front of Sister."

Lu Yi nodded: "At the time of the eldest princess, there were a total of sixteen princesses. She lost her mother when she was young, and she was still raised by the queen mother. Without some means, she naturally did not have the identity and status she has today."

"Princess Xiangning is spoiled. The most difficult things she encounters are probably petty things like being sour and jealous. In front of the eldest princess who has been struggling for many years, it is just like playing."

Lu Mingyu shook his head helplessly: "Old King Fu is such a kind person, why don't his descendants worry about it? He must feel uncomfortable when this happens."

Lu Yi agreed: "I think so. Old Fu Wang loves Princess Zhenli. No matter where he goes, he always talks about Princess Zhenli."

Lu Mingyu picked up the tea and took a sip, then said: "Old King Fu had a serious illness a few years ago. He lay in bed for more than a month. Zhenli stayed with him for more than a month. The old man was thinking about Zhenli's kindness. .”

Speaking of this, Lu Yi couldn't help but shake his head: "If you are a slave, you have to remember that the old prince's descendants can't expect anything."

Lu Mingyu yawned: "That's all, we have done what we should do. I want to have a full sleep tonight. Don't call me unless there is something important."

Lu Yi helped her up: "Mother, I will help you sleep."

Lu Mingyu was really sleepy and went to catch up on her sleep without eating dinner. Lu Yi knew that she would definitely not be able to eat, so she didn't persuade her.

……

Minister of the Ministry of War.

Mrs. Gao paced back and forth in the room, looking panicked.

At this moment, the porter came to report: "Madam, Aunt Chun who is with the Crown Princess is here."

Mrs. Gao was about to invite people in when she suddenly thought of Lu Mingyu's words. She weighed it again and again and ordered: "Tell her that neither I nor the master are free, so we tell them not to come for the time being."

The concierge was a little strange: "Madam, Aunt Chun said that the Crown Princess and Princess Xiangning were banned by the old King Fu, so she hurriedly came to ask for help. You have seen her on weekdays, but now..."

Mrs. Gao gritted her teeth and finally refused: "Prince Fu is the head of the family. The decisions he makes cannot be interfered with by outsiders. Tell them, mother and daughter, for me to be obedient and abide by the rules."

Although the concierge was full of doubts, he still obeyed the order and quickly retreated.

Mrs. Gao slowly closed her eyes, and anyone could see the unbearable and distressed expression overflowing from the corners of her eyes and brows.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Gao's confidant, Nanny, quickly comforted her: "Madam, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. Since the great uncle and concubine has approached you about this matter, we, the Gao family, can't get involved casually."

"What you just said is right. Prince Fu is the head of the family. Whoever he wants to punish must be justified. After all, we are just outsiders. We can't even interfere with Prince Fu's decisions."

Mrs. Gao sighed: "I understand the truth, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. My daughter is the apple of my eye, and my granddaughter is the trouble in my life. I don't feel comfortable knowing that they are suffering."

"But it's not convenient for me to do anything now. Just like my grandson, I can't do anything but watch him dethrone his status as a grandson and demote him to a commoner."

The confidant Nanny quickly reminded: "Madam, be careful what you say. The evidence for Shisun's matter is solid, and it was done by my uncle himself. It's inappropriate for you to say these things."

"If the villain listens to me and says these words to others, I'm afraid I will be charged with questioning the crown prince."

Mrs. Gao quickly stopped talking and changed the subject: "What do you mean, Grand Uncle Concubine?"

The confidant Nanny thought for a moment and then said: "I'm afraid what the Grand Uncle Concubine wants is exactly what the Empress is doing now."

Madam Gao was very puzzled: "Do you think it's worth fighting me for such a trivial matter?"

The bride's aunt explained: "It's a discussion in advance, but it's also a threat. Madam, this concubine is different from other women in the boudoir. She is not bound by red tape and rules."

"I'm coming to see you today. I think I have one purpose, which is to keep our house out of the princess' affairs."

"Of course, if we insist on getting involved, it may implicate the master, so we must endure it until Old King Fu calms down, and then they will be released."

Mrs. Gao was still frightened: "Who says it's not the case, but if Xiangning is wronged, I have to make the decision for her."

The confidant Nanny quickly stopped her: "Madam, the princess is from Prince Fu's Mansion. If you have any grievances, it is Prince Fu's Mansion who makes the decision. Madam, don't worry."

Mrs. Gao smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "It's not that I don't want to bother, it's that I don't dare."

The confidant Mammy continued: "The great uncle and concubine also said that this matter is, at the most minor level, a matter between the two princesses."

"Perhaps once we intervene, it will become a matter between the family and the princess. There is currently no movement from the eldest princess, and the concubine has no intention of insisting on it. Madam, please relax."

Hearing what Grandma said, Mrs. Gao felt a lot more relieved: "Well, it's hard for the Grand Uncle and Concubine."

The confidant Mammy said with a smile: "After all, it is my daughter's family's business if the concubine Taishu comes forward. If His Highness Taishu and Duke Yue come forward, it will be related to the master. From this point of view, Madam can really relax."

Mrs. Gao nodded, her eyes becoming distant: "I'm worried that if Xiangning can't find help from me, she will do something that is unacceptable and unimaginable to us."
