Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 835: Wait a minute, it’s almost over
Her rosy little face was so tender that it felt like she could squeeze out water. It made Lu Mingyu feel pain in her heart, and she wanted to pinch her little face and rub it hard.

Because of the arrival of Yao Niang and her daughter, Lu Mingyu no longer brought up the topic just now. Instead, he talked with Yao Niang about parenting. Time flew by.

As the sun was about to turn to the west, Changsun Tao came to pick up Lu Mingyu. He was still wearing court clothes, black clothes embroidered with gold thread, which made him look majestic and noble, making people dare not look directly at him.

Walking up to Lu Mingyu, he hooked Lu Mingyu's nose with his finger, his eyes full of endearment: "Little ancestor, why are you always restless and can't wait for me? What if there is danger?"

Lu Mingyu slapped his hand away: "You are so fierce, who dares to bully me?"

Changsun Tao held Lu Mingyu in his arms and left the Gu Mansion: "No, I'm afraid they will covet your beauty. Who makes you look so lovely?"

Lu Mingyu pinched his waist hard: "Your Majesty, can you be more serious?"

Changsun Tao held his waist and cried out in pain: "It hurts so much. I need to blow on it when I get back, so that the pain can fly away."

Lu Mingyu endured the strange looks from the servants and gave him a slap: "Enough is enough, you embarrassing guy."

Yao Niang hugged Gu Nian and watched the two of them go away. She looked back and asked, "Ajun, what were you talking about just now? Why did it take so long?"

Gu Huaijun subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but he protected Yaoniang closely and kept some secret things from her to avoid scaring her.

Furthermore, there seemed to be a misunderstanding about Li Chunhua. Gu Huaijun believed that Yao Niang would not make mistakes. The princess should have misunderstood. However, she was afraid that Yao Niang would think the princess was suspicious of her, so Gu Huaijun chose to hide everything.

"The princess asked me something about the day of the palace change."

Yao Niang said "Oh" and looked away, looking at the little dumpling in her arms. The love in her eyes could not be concealed.

In the carriage, Lu Mingyu leaned against the wall and put her feet on Chang Sun Tao's thighs, letting Chang Sun Tao gently squeeze and relax her muscles.

Lu Mingyu asked him: "Why is the court so late today? Is there anything important to discuss in the court?"

Changsun Tao gently rubbed her calf, with a relaxed look on his face: "The matter in Yangzhou has basically been solved. Your Majesty took out all his private property, and then used part of the money from the treasury to buy enough jade, millet and grain from the Bai family. Supplies are provided for the victims to survive the winter.”

"Master Li will stay in Yangzhou to urge local officials to carry out disaster relief. His Majesty also sent Xi Qianwei to assist. We can finally relax and wait for the birth of our child with peace of mind."

"In addition, His Majesty awarded rewards to those who participated in the Yangzhou disaster relief work. He personally wrote down everyone's names and asked the Ministry of Industry to engrave them on merit monuments for future generations to admire."

"Zhenli was granted the title of Princess Yujia, Sanmeng was officially appointed as Zhongshu Ling as Shen Jingyan, and even Li Yuan was appointed a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Etiquette."

When Lu Mingyu heard about this, he was also happy for them: "Your tone seems to be particularly proud."

Changsun Tao raised his eyebrows: "That's natural, I personally selected the person."

Lu Mingyu teased: "Why didn't you say that it was because Mr. Feng taught me well?" Changsun Tao said: "I am quite like my father. He is a kind and wise monarch."

Lu Mingyu nodded in agreement, but suddenly sighed again: "The courtier shouldn't be holding on to Duke Qi, right?"

Changsun Tao said: "That's natural. Your Majesty has taken out all his private property. How can the courtiers have the nerve to question Duke Qi about his crime? Quan Dang doesn't know anything. Pretending to be deaf and dumb is their specialty."

Lu Mingyu said: "I hope the Xiao family will not hold back Your Majesty. With the full assistance of all the wise ministers headed by Mr. Feng, the Qin Dynasty will not only return to its heyday, but will at least be rejuvenated. And we, who have gone through ups and downs, will also Finally, our merits have been fulfilled, and we have lived a pure life that belongs to us having three meals and four seasons.”

Changsun Tao squeezed his hand and moved it up, but he said seriously: "It's still a little short, but it won't be long. Yan Yan, please wait a little longer."

Lu Mingyu pinched the flesh on the back of his hand accurately and lifted it up: "It's good now."

Chang Sun Tao's face was twisted in pain: "Yan Yan, you are going to be disabled!"

Lu Mingyu shook off his dirty hands: "Aunt Jingxin woke up. She said that one of the staff around Duke Qi was from Izumo. On the night of the palace change, the Queen Mother sent her to deliver poisoned wine to Duke Qi, but she and the Queen Mother's guard Xing Li But he was killed by the Izumo man."

"Things are getting really messy. Just now, I learned from Gu Huaijun that the poppy seeds that Lady Yao gave me may not be the relics of Lord Gu Hanzhang."

"And Xie Yun's so-called fiancée Rihe also visited Prince Qi's mansion today. She is so strange and so submissive that it is hard to hate her at all."

Changsun Tao covered his hand that was red from being pinched and said: "Yan Yan, Izumo should have planted nails in the homes of many senior officials. We can't judge their next move at the moment, but I will guard against Prince Qi's palace. No. Don’t let Izumo’s people have any chance to harm you.”

"In addition, Feng Xiang has already begun to liquidate the Yu family. I believe it won't be long before they get the retribution they deserve for what they did to the Lu family."

"As for Xie Yun's life experience, let it take its course! If we dig deeper, we may only be able to find out what others want us to see, but if we remain unmoved, we may be able to get closer to the truth as quickly as possible."

"But this Yao Niang, I have to check her details carefully. This woman gave me a bad feeling from the beginning. I don't know how much she knows about the Gu family being exterminated, or how much she participated in it."

Lu Mingyu said: "These are not what I am worried about at the moment. What I am most worried about is the treatment of the Northern Qi prisoners. My cousin sent a message saying that because the prisoners lacked food and clothing, some people have died one after another."

"They are all raised by father and mother. In the final analysis, they are just victims of the war. Unfortunately, Guiyan City does not have the ability to support them. Why is this matter still unresolved until now?"

Changsun Tao said: "Because the court officials are deadlocked on completely unifying Northern Qi and supporting the puppet emperor, when the situation is not clear enough, neither Feng Xiang nor His Majesty dare to make a hasty decision, lest it be self-defeating."

Lu Mingyu sighed: "This is really hard on my cousin. It is not easy to guard the border in a bitter cold place, and we have to manage a large number of prisoners."

As she spoke, Lu Mingyu suddenly raised her eyes, her bright and clear eyes, like the most beautiful glass in the world, and she said with great energy: "I have a plan!"

Changsun Tao put his hand on his growing belly and asked softly: "What's the plan? Tell me."
