Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 834 It turns out that they were all deceived
Lu Mingyu followed Gu Huaijun into the darkroom, leaving Lu Xi and Ah Liu standing guard outside.

A year later, Lu Mingyu met Aunt Jingxin again. In this short year, many big and small things happened. When she looked back, not long ago, she found that things had changed.

"Princess, Princess..." Aunt Jingxin's body was very weak and she could not move. Her eyes suddenly fell on Lu Mingyu's bulging belly, and her face burst into tears. "You are really pregnant, Queen Mother." She, she must be happy."

Lu Mingyu looked indifferent: "Aunt, what did you see at the Duke of Qi's Mansion that night?"

Aunt Jingxin did not answer directly, but asked: "Princess, who is the person who has ascended the Dabao now?"

Lu Mingyu did not hide anything: "The person sitting on the throne now is the former Second Highness. The Queen Mother was assassinated on the night of the palace coup."

After hearing the news, Aunt Jingxin was not surprised, as if she had expected it: "Fortunately, the Queen Mother knew that you were pregnant before she left. His Highness King Qi's poison will be her lifelong regret and self-blame. , knowing that His Highness Prince Qi’s poison has been cured, she should be able to leave with peace of mind..."

Gu Huaijun had been standing nearby and had no reaction when he heard this. He knew that King Qi was poisoned and witnessed the detoxification process with his own eyes.

But he knew that Lu Mingyu might want to ask about something more secret, so he quickly asked to leave: "Princess, I will wait for you outside."

After Gu Huaijun left, Lu Mingyu sat next to Aunt Jingxin and said: "Now that the situation has stabilized, I don't want to know what happened on the day of the palace change. I won't make it difficult for you to tell me. I just want to know. You can see it in the Duke of Qi's Mansion." What happened, why did you say 'be careful Izumo'?"

Aunt Jingxin had a frightened look on her face, as if she had remembered something extremely terrifying. Her teeth chattered, her face suddenly turned pale, and she said in horror: "Princess, one of the staff beside the Duke is Izumo." Man, he is from Izumo!”

When Lu Mingyu heard this, his face remained as calm as water: "How did you know that was from Izumo? What did you see?"

Aunt Jingxin said: "It was him...it was he who persuaded the Duke to kill the slave and Xing Li. I saw him take action, but after just a few moves, Xing Li was shattered by him. His whole body exploded and completely shattered into pieces." You bastard. Xing Li is the Queen Mother’s bodyguard! His martial arts skills are second to none, yet he killed him easily."

Lu Mingyu asked again: "Then how did you survive?"

Aunt Jingxin said with tears: "Princess, before I left the palace, the Queen Mother asked my slave to take antidote pills. On that day, the Duke ordered someone to pour the poisonous wine given to him by the Queen Mother into the slave's mouth. The slave simply pretended to be dead. That’s how I escaped.”

It turns out that the Queen Mother had murderous intentions towards Duke Qi, but time has passed and there is really no need to investigate the truth of the past.

Lu Mingyu frowned: "So, how did you know his identity as an Izumo?"

Aunt Jingxin said: "In the past when the Izumo Mission came to Beijing, my servant and the Queen Mother accompanied the Izumo Mission. I was deeply impressed by the etiquette of this country. Although the aide was hidden deeply, from the posture of his sword, The slave still saw it."

After hearing this, Lu Mingyu stood up slowly: "Auntie, have a good rest. Zhaohua and I will arrange for someone to come and take you to the palace. It's really inconvenient for you to be in Mr. Gu Huaijun's mansion now."

After speaking, Lu Mingyu left.

Gu Huaijun was waiting outside. The secret door opened and he came forward.

Lu Mingyu told him: "Sir, I will have someone come over to take Aunt Jingxin to the palace in a moment. I will trouble you during this period."

Gu Huaijun heard this and said, "That's fine. If I don't go on duty, Yao Niang and Nian'er will have nothing to eat."

Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows: "Ms. Yao? Is there any progress?"

Gu Huaijun rubbed his head: "Forget it, guess it!"

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "We met once, and I'm really happy to see you and Yao Niang have a happy ending."

Gu Huaijun smiled more and more shyly, like a shy big boy: "Thank you, Princess, I will take good care of Yao Niang and her daughter."

Lu Mingyu slowly sat down and asked, "What kind of person is your father?" Gu Huaijun said, "Why would the princess ask this?"

Lu Mingyu said: "I'm just wondering why your and your brother's personalities are so different."

Gu Huaijun said: "Chen's father is an open-minded man, and the way he teaches us brothers is different from others. Perhaps it has something to do with his early travels around the world."

Lu Mingyu asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, have you ever traveled around the world?"

Gu Huaijun nodded: "Well, otherwise my brother wouldn't be able to marry Yao Niang from Yangzhou. That's because my father formed a friendship with Yao Niang's father when he traveled to Yangzhou, and then he arranged a marriage for his brother."

Lu Mingyu asked inadvertently: "Then your father must have been to many places."

Gu Huaijun nodded: "My father has been traveling for more than ten years. In addition to Da Qin, he has been to all small countries such as Beiguo and Izumo."

Lu Mingyu was surprised: "You have actually been to Beiguo and Izumo? When did you go?"

Gu Huaijun said: "About ten or twenty years ago, my father didn't tell us much about his early travels, but we still saw clues from the things he collected. After asking, we learned that those things were from his travels. .”

Lu Mingyu said: "It's a pity... Well, I don't know who did it. I can't find any traces."

Gu Huaijun choked up and said, "It's true that we can't find anything at all. It happened suddenly. My brother just asked me to escort Yao Niang away. There was no time to explain anything."

Lu Mingyu showed a regretful expression: "To this day, I don't understand why Mr. Gu gave Yao Niang a Lichon flower seed."

Gu Huaijun frowned: "The seeds of Lichon flower? Why did brother give that thing to Yao Niang? The princess must have made a mistake!"

Lu Mingyu said: "When I was at the inn, Yao Niang gave me something, saying that it was left by Master Gu. That thing is the seed of Lichun flower."

Gu Huaijun said affirmatively: "Princess, the seeds of Ponceau were bought on our way to escape. At that time, I was seriously injured and had to rely on Ponceau to relieve pain to survive."

It turns out that Yao Niang lied to herself.

Fortunately, they didn't get too hung up on this poppy, otherwise they might have hit a brick wall.

What exactly is the thing that Yao Niang is holding in her hand?

Just when Lu Mingyu was about to dig deeper, Yao Niang came with Gu Nian.

"Nian'er pays his respects to the princess and aunt."

Little Gu Nian imitated her mother's appearance, like a cute little pet.

Lu Mingyu stretched out her hand, hugged Gu Nian into her arms, and asked her softly: "Xiao Nian'er, tell aunt, what did you eat today?"

Gu Nian took the opportunity to take a bite on Lu Mingyu's cheek and said crisply: "I had steamed cakes and rice porridge in the morning, and a lot of vegetables and pork ribs at lunch."

As he said that, Gu Nian came close to Lu Mingyu's ear and said mysteriously: "Nian'er secretly told the princess that these were all made by my mother for my uncle, and Nian'er was just taking advantage of them."

After saying that, he curled his lips and showed an aggrieved look.
