Chapter 2135 Leaving the Palace
This was not the first time Mingyu came to Prince Qin's Mansion, but it was the first time she knew that the small courtyard prepared for her was so exquisite and elegant. It was right next to the upper room. In addition to planting various small flowers she liked, there was also a swing. And the pavilion, she fell in love with it at first sight.
"You and Miao'er live here. This place is cleaned every day." Mingxi said to Mingyu.
"Can't I live with you?" Mi'er asked doubtfully.
Mingxi coughed lightly, "Miao'er, we have grown up and can't live together anymore. You live with Mingyu."
Miao'er was naive and naive, and didn't know whether men and women were intimate or not. He didn't want others to talk nonsense about her behind her back.
"Okay." Mio nodded in understanding. Anyway, she was very happy getting along with Mingyu.
After Mingxi had lunch with them, he went to the Lu family to find Lu Shiming.
Lu Shiming was very happy about Mingxi's return, "I heard that you entered the palace this morning. I thought you would stay in the palace today."
"Mingyu and I have both left the palace. She is at Prince Qin's Mansion and will not come over until tomorrow." Mingxi said with a smile.
"I haven't seen Mingyu for more than half a year. Last time I heard that she was assassinated in the palace. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. Your grandmother and sister-in-law both went to the palace to see her." Lu Shiming said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Have you endured hardship outside for more than half a year?"
Mingxi said, "We lived well without suffering. When we were in Wasteland City, Teng Ye and the others regarded me as the young master of the Fang family and did not dare to do anything to me."
Lu Shiming frowned when he heard this, "Teng Ye doesn't understand Fang Yunsong very well. With his temperament, it is impossible for him to become a traitor."
"Grandpa knows Fang Yunsong?" Mingxi asked.
"I used to study in Fangjia Academy, and Fang Yunsong was my teacher." Lu Shiming said, although he did not stay at Fangjia Academy for a long time, but once he was a teacher, he was always a father. The fact that Fang Yunsong was his teacher is Nothing can be changed.
Mingxi whispered, "Grandpa, there is something I want to tell you."
Seeing Ming Xi's serious tone, Lu Shiming couldn't help asking seriously, "What's the matter?"
"When Teng Ye was caught by me, he said that his grandfather was an accomplice of them." Mingxi said, "I'm afraid that he did something to frame you."
"Comrade?" Lu Shiming was stunned for a moment, "Teng Ye and I have never had any friendship. We can't even talk to each other on weekdays, but we are so angry at each other."
Mingxi said, "The emperor also knew about this, but he should have known that this was Teng Ye's nonsense, so he didn't believe it."
Lu Shiming raised his head and looked at his grandson. If it was really just Teng Ye who was spouting blood, Mingxi would not come here to tell him about it. "Whatever you find, continue talking."
"On my way back to Kyoto, I asked people to check the people who Teng Ye had been in Kyoto City before. One of them was Lu Shizhou. He is now the prefect of Shenzhou Prefecture and has been arrested by the secret guards. , is being escorted to Kyoto City, has this person...ever asked his grandfather to do something?" Mingxi asked in a low voice.
Lu Shizhou? Lu Shiming's expression changed. Of course he knew that this person was the nephew of a branch of the Lu family. He came to the Lu family when he came to Kyoto to report on his work last year. At that time, he asked him to accommodate something.
"He wanted to open a river trade in Shenzhou Prefecture. At that time, there was opposition from the court and the government, so he came to ask me for help. However, the purpose of opening the trade was for the people of Shenzhou Prefecture. I saw that he was dedicated to the welfare of the people, so I said more in front of the emperor. After a few words, does it... have anything to do with this?" Lu Shiming asked in surprise.
"Teng Ye wanted to transport weapons, but he couldn't use the sea trade in Tianjin City. He could only use the river from Shenzhou Mansion. Moreover... he also found out that Lu Shizhou was colluding with the salt dealers, and all the money fell into Teng Ye's hands." Mingxi Said, these were found out not long ago and should not have been sent to Uncle Six yet.
"What?" Lu Shiming was shocked, "That beast... is so rebellious!"
Mingxi said, "Besides speaking good words for Lu Shizhou in front of the emperor, have you done anything else?"
Lu Shiming shook his head, "Let me think about it again. Ever since I spoke for him in front of the emperor, my colleagues in the court have regarded him as my nephew. They will give him a thumbs up for everything. I don't know what else he has done." .”
"Grandpa is loyal to the emperor, and the emperor will not trust Teng Ye based on this." Mingxi said, he would come to remind Lu Shiming because he was worried that he would be taken advantage of.
"I will go to the palace immediately to apologize." Lu Shiming said, "There is no need for the emperor to ask me about this matter. I will tell the emperor everything."
Mingxi did not stop Lu Shiming. After all, Murong Ke was just his sixth uncle now. He didn't know what his sixth uncle would think of the Lu family. If he really believed that Lu Shizhou and Lu Shiming had an inseparable relationship, then he would have to find another way. .
"You go to your grandmother first, and I will go into the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor." Lu Shiming said to Mingxi.
"Okay." Mingxi nodded lightly. After Lu Shiming left, he also went to the backyard to find Pei.
When Mrs. Pei heard that Mingxi was back, she was waiting anxiously in the room. She wanted to go directly to the study to find her precious grandson several times.
"Grandma." Mingxi started calling before she even entered the room.
"My Mingxi..." Ms. Pei walked out directly and held Mingxi in her arms. "Let me see if you are suffering. Look how much darker you are and how thin you are. You are a child." Why are you running out? Your parents are really relieved."
Mingxi listened to Mr. Pei's mutterings and complaints with a smile, hugging him and shouting distressedly, he smiled and said, "Grandma, I haven't lost weight, I have grown taller. You see, I am as tall as you."
Only then did Mrs. Pei realize that her grandson, who was shorter than her before she left, was almost as tall as her. "That's because he has lost weight. He must have endured hardship outside."
"Grandma, I took Mingyu out of the palace. She is staying in Prince Qin's Mansion today. I will bring her over to visit you tomorrow." Mingxi diverted her attention wisely.
"I haven't seen Mingyu for a long time. The emperor has kept her in the palace. I wonder if such a young child will be wronged in the palace." Mrs. Pei said with red eyes. Since those beautiful girls entered the palace, After the palace, there was not a day when she didn't worry about Mingyu. Not to mention that Mingyu was just a princess, she was not the emperor's biological daughter. If those concubines were pregnant, would Mingyu still have her current status?
Su Xiaoxiao walked to Mrs. Pei's side and said, "Mom, isn't Ming Yu coming tomorrow? You'll see her soon."
"Little aunt." Mingxi saluted Su Xiaoxiao.
"Mingxi, come in and sit down. Have you had lunch?" Su Xiaoxiao held Pei's hand and asked Mingxi to follow him back into the house.
Mrs. Pei immediately said, "Yes, I have asked people to prepare snacks. You can eat more."
Mingxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll eat."
