Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 173: Mother and Child (1)
As soon as the stewards left, the inner hall became much quieter.
Eunuch Cai lying on the ground was soaked in cold water, his back was covered in blood, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to beg his master's life. He looked really miserable and pitiful.
Of course, Lu Mingyu and Li Jing didn't sympathize with him.
I've been busy for a long time, and I'm hungry. I'll fill my stomach first.
On the way, Li Jingshao couldn't help laughing a few words in a low voice: "The second prince and maiden are majestic today, and everyone admires them. In the future, everyone in this mansion will be completely convinced by the second prince and concubine."
Lu Mingyu glanced at Li Jing with a smile: "Isn't His Royal Highness the second prince afraid of the loss of his husband's gang?"
Li Jing smiled candidly: "On the day I got engaged, I was prepared to be uneasy for the rest of my life."
Lu Mingyu: "..."
Lu Mingyu was enraged: "So, in your heart, I am a tigress."
Li Jing smiled lowly: "It is the tigress, and the most beautiful one."
Bah!
Lu Mingyu spat at him with a smile.
Qiyun, who was following behind, breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, in the inner hall, Lu Mingyu showed great power, sent Eunuch Cai down with a thunderous momentum, and pressed the stewards to the point where they couldn't breathe.
As a slave, she is very proud of her master! But he was also secretly worried that His Royal Highness the Second Prince would be unhappy.
Fortunately, the young couple is newly married, and it is the time when the love between honey and oil is intensified. His own master was a little bit fierce, but it didn't hurt the relationship between husband and wife.
……
After lunch, Commander Zuo also returned. Everyone in the house, including the beautiful Mrs. Cai and the sturdy Young Master Cai, were brought here.
Lu Mingyu didn't ask: "I'm a little tired. Let's take a nap."
Leave this matter to Li Jing.
Li Jing nodded slightly, coldness flashing in his eyes.
Lu Mingyu went to the dormitory to sleep, and it took two hours to sleep. After replenishing his sleep and feeling refreshed, he opened his mouth and asked Qiyun, "Where is Your Highness?"
Qiyun replied in a low voice: "Half an hour ago, Your Highness sent Eunuch Xiao Yuan a message, and the young lady was still asleep, but the slave did not wake her up. His Highness interrogated Eunuch Cai in person, and ordered Eunuch Cai to be beaten. Thirty boards. Now he has entered the palace."
Disposing of a minion is not a big deal. However, Eunuch Cai is Queen Qiao's person after all. Li Jing naturally wanted to enter the palace in person and explain the matter to Queen Qiao.
Lu Mingyu nodded and said nothing.
It was Qiyun, who couldn't help but smile and said, "His Royal Highness is really considerate to Miss! I can't bear to be wronged."
Otherwise, if this matter spread to the palace, Queen Qiao's face would definitely be dull and sullen in her heart. Even if Eunuch Cai died, it was someone sent by her mother-in-law. How could she have to deal with it first if she didn't know her?
Lu Mingyu was silent for a moment, and then pointedly said: "When I was newly married, I was naturally very kind to me. How it really will depend on the future."
Back then, she and Li Hao were newly married and had a sweet and loving time. What happened after that, needless to say.
Naturally, Qiyun couldn't hear the meaning of Lu Mingyu's words, and replied with a smile: "I'll talk about it later! Anyway, at the moment, Your Highness is very kind to Miss."
A man does this very well for his wife.
Lu Mingyu smiled slightly.
Today, she really did it on purpose, whether it was a test or a chance to gain power. In short, through this matter, the claws will shine first.
It depends on how Queen Qiao reacts.
……
Queen Qiao exclaimed from the Jiaofang Palace: "What did you say? Eunuch Cai dares to collect money in private and spread the news of the mansion?"
Li Jing's handsome face is full of anger: "Yes. I have asked clearly."
"Eunuch Guo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent him a house in private. That house was worth two thousand taels. The maids and servants in the house, as well as the 'Madame and son', were also sent by Eunuch Guo together. .”
"Eunuch Cai is full of loyalty and keeps close contact with Eunuch Guo in private, and tells Eunuch Guo about the affairs of the mansion in private. I have lived in the palace for the past two years, otherwise, my every move will be deceived."
"This kind of servant who has betrayed his master must not be kept. I ordered him to beat him sixty times and put him in the dungeon in the mansion. Whether he can survive it depends on how hard his life is."
Queen Qiao's face turned blue with anger when she heard these words.
The first thing that came to mind was, of course, Diao Sla's anger.
A few years ago, after the Prince's Palace was built, Concubine Meng in the palace asked Emperor Yongjia first and put her confidants into the First Prince's Palace.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Qin followed the example of Concubine Meng Gui and kept blowing in Queen Zhao's ear. Empress Dowager Zhao shot directly, passed Queen Qiao, and picked someone to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Queen Qiao was sullen and had no choice, so she chose the loyal and reliable father-in-law Cai from the Jiaofang Hall. As for Su Zhaorong, she wanted to open her mouth, but as soon as she revealed her words, Queen Qiao pouted back: "What? You can't trust the person chosen by this palace?"
Su Zhaorong has no one to support her, no matter how much she talks.
Unexpectedly, she took a wrong look and picked such a dog slave who is loyal and traitorous!
"What else do you want to do with this class of people?" Queen Qiao said angrily, "Slay him immediately!"
Li Jing said solemnly: "Mom, calm down, I will handle it myself."
Empress Qiao could not calm down her anger, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, she couldn't help but slapped the table hard: "It's really abominable! That Eunuch Guo must be from Concubine Meng. Except for her, no one has the courage to stretch out his hand. Outside the palace, reach into the Second Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, you found out early, and there was no trouble."
Wait!
Queen Qiao suddenly remembered something and glanced at Li Jing suspiciously: "Eunuch Cai's private dealings with Eunuch Guo~IndoMTL.com~ How did you know?"
Li Jingmian replied without changing his face: "Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Xiaoyu."
Queen Qiao was stunned again and frowned: "What the **** is going on?"
So, in Li Jing's mouth, there is such a good daughter-in-law, Lu Mingyu, who is devoted to his sake and who worries about him before he gets married: "...Since the marriage, Xiaoyu has drawn people's attention to the people and things in the Second Prince's Mansion. , thinking that as soon as I get married, I will take care of the house and solve problems for me."
"She found out that Eunuch Cai went to the private house. She was inconvenient to speak at the time, and only ordered people to keep an eye on Eunuch Cai. She didn't tell me until this morning."
"I was so furious that I immediately sent Commander Zuo to lead people to the private house, and brought everyone in the house into the house. This question was absolutely correct. Eunuch Cai was full of loyalty, but in fact he betrayed the Lord and forgot his righteousness. I've only been in the Prince's Mansion for half a month, so I don't have anything to worry about, so he's also sent out two messages."
"Thanks to Xiaoyu, otherwise, I am still being deceived by Diao slaves and kept in the dark."
Queen Joe: "..."
