Dew timid

Chapter 63

It was indeed too reckless to directly invite Lu Yu here, but Zhang Zhengqing was involved in the matter, and he was immediately taken seriously.

When Lu Yu was hurriedly found, there was still a sullen expression on his face, but after he was about to meet someone, the sullen mood was quickly restrained.

Xiao Qi is someone close to Emperor Chengde, it would be best if he can make friends, if he can't be wooed, he will not be allowed to fall to others.

Before the matter was verified, Xiao Qi did not reveal too much, but after seeing Lu Yu, there was a slight change in his eyes. This subtle change was not seen by Lu Yu, but it did not fall into Lu Qi's eyes at all.

He secretly poked 'tsk', and said with a blank expression that not all the people raised in the imperial city are fine people.

The expression on his face was still as calm as water, and he was quite planning to watch a play while standing aside.

This posture is very similar to the three-room trial, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Lu Yu's temperament was replaced by the usual gentleness.

Even in this situation, he could still maintain a smiling face, so he asked in a soft voice: "Is there something wrong with Xiao Tongwei looking for me in such a hurry?"

Xiao Qi bowed and saluted, "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince. I hope His Highness will forgive me. I have to invite His Highness here in a hurry because there is one thing I want to investigate."

As Xiao Qi's subordinate, he is the crown prince, and before the matter was clear, he was brought here in such a hurry, and with such a big fanfare, it was already a blow to his face.

It is normal for Lu Yu to be displeased.

However, Xiao Qi was directly under the emperor, and Lu Yu had already planned to win him over.

After weighing it for a while, the smile on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth just sank slightly, without showing any other emotions, "Xiao Tongwei, but it's okay to say."

Xiao Qi took out the jade tablet, held it in both hands, and handed it to Lu Yu, with a solemn voice, "I would like to ask if His Royal Highness knows about this item?"

Quiet!

Everyone held their breaths and concentrated, the surroundings were extremely silent, everyone's eyes fell on the prince of the Eastern Palace, quietly waiting for his reaction, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, there must be waves behind the strong wind.

Lu Yu hooked up the jade tablet with two fingers, his face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and his words set off a storm.

"Why is my jade tablet here?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qi was shocked, and quickly knelt down, his complexion turned pale immediately.

If Lu Yu couldn't see this problem at this time, then his position in the East Palace would be in vain for so many years.

His heart suddenly became tense, he pursed his lips without showing any anxiety, and asked Ling Sheng, "Say! What happened?"

Xiao Qi lowered his head and maintained this kneeling position, "This jade tablet was found in the underground palace, and it is closely related to the rebellious minister Zhang Zhengqing. If this item belongs to His Highness, please also go to Beijing with Xiao Qi to explain to His Majesty. "

Xiao Qi said it directly, and what he said in a disguised form was already disrespectful to the subordinates.

However, Lu Yu didn't have the time to carefully discern the emotions in his words.

How could it be possible that he had something to do with Nichen, he saw his figure swaying slightly, and took two steps back without noticing for a moment, seeing that he was about to fall, one hand was very strong against his lower back .

A cool voice came from behind him, and Lu Qi's hypocritical voice sounded like an extremely indifferent poisonous snake, "Be careful, prince, you have to check this jade card slowly, you can't fail. "

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his hand, and stood peacefully aside, lowering his eyebrows, but the little mole under the corner of his eye seemed to be scorching hot.

Lu Yu pushed him away from the side, and only then came back to his senses belatedly, cold sweat drenched his back, and when he looked at the jade card in his hand, he seemed to regard him as a hot potato, and threw it into the In Lu Qi's arms, his eyelashes trembled fiercely and his eyes flickered.

"Bengong made a mistake, this thing is not from this palace! By the way, this palace remembered, this jade tablet... this jade tablet has been made by the emperor a lot, and every brother has one! This is not from this palace, this is from Bengong. The palace doesn't recognize it!"

After finishing speaking, he repeated again and again, "I don't recognize it!"

This thunderous sound scared everyone.

However, this proved to be like a guilty conscience.

No one dared to look up to see this elegant prince tear off that jade-like exterior, revealing the embarrassment under his skin.

Everyone lowered their heads tremblingly, Lu Yu panicked, he casually grabbed the person closest to him, and forced him to ask, "I told you, this jade has nothing to do with me! Do you know?"

The soldier was obviously frightened, with a pale face, his body trembling uncontrollably, and he stumbled to answer, "I know..."

Lu Yu pushed him away, his expression was obviously extremely angry, no one present dared to answer his words, they all knelt down on the ground in unison, their expressions were all fearful and terrified!

This sudden situation forced him to a dead end so abruptly and in vain.

Such a scene is very strange!

He has been sitting on the position of the crown prince in the Eastern Palace for more than [-] years, and there was a moment when others flattered him, held him up, and respected him!

So why is it like this, becoming the target of public criticism.

Under the tug-of-war, it was Lu Yong who broke the situation first. He said in a cold voice, "This king also has a jade card, but he really can't take it out now. The emperor rewarded us with several brothers. His Royal Highness is suspected of this, so please trouble Xiao Tongwei to take us back to Beijing. When the time comes, take this thing out and have a look, and anyone who doesn’t have it will know who this strange person is. How about it?”

What he said was impeccable, and he brought Lu Yu down when he fell into the water. He neither offended anyone nor picked himself up, and finally fell into the shoes of others. Qi's face.

Seeing the popular bodyguard in front of the emperor raised his head slightly, he smiled gratefully.

Moreover, he spoke openly and aboveboard, so the doubts about him could not help but be reduced by three points.

Lu Yu also calmed down during his call, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Seventh brother is right, this journey will trouble Xiao Tongwei!"

Both noble lords had spoken, Xiao Qi didn't dare to delay, he quickly wrote back to the capital, and started to prepare to leave for the capital.

A group of people were about to leave Zhang's mansion, but Lu Qi suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, wait a minute!"

Hearing this voice, Lu Yu became annoyed for no reason, and forced a stiff smile on his face, "Is there something wrong, seventh brother?"

"It's not a big deal." He paused, pretending to be euphemistic: "It's just that the emperor entrusted me to deal with this matter, but I didn't expect the final result to be like this. I didn't dare to delay for a moment to go back to Beijing to receive the punishment, and I wanted to come to His Highness with the same heart as Lu Qi. The thing happened in such a hurry that I just wanted to inform His Highness that there are still matters concerning refugees that need to be dealt with, His Highness must hand it over. After all, refugees are innocent."

Lu Yu said that he was wronged, as if he had really committed some serious crime, and Lu Yu was speechless.

Lu Yu: ...

What is he talking about, why can't I understand a word?And why do people around me look so strangely at me?

Refugees are innocent, isn't he innocent?

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that the prince's trip to the south of the Yangtze River seemed to have a mission, a mission of disaster relief.

And now that the prince is gone, the disaster relief work may have to be delayed again.

For some reason, there was something wrong with the way she looked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu couldn't even maintain a stiff smile on his face, so he simply kept a calm face and said word by word: "Seventh Brother, just worry about yourself, and this prince can naturally handle the matter at hand."

Lu Qi took half a step back and bowed, "Well, of course my brother believes that my brother can handle the refugee affairs well, so I will go to fill the well first."

After he finished speaking, he left without waiting for Lu Yu to open his mouth.

On the other hand, Lu Yu's place is cold and pitiful.

The news of his return to Beijing cannot be concealed from Fu Chengci. He originally went to Jiangnan in the name of accompanying the prince, so he will naturally go with him.

Cheng Shangqing, who received the news with him, frowned slightly uneasy, "Will there be any changes in this? Your plan..."

Fu Chengci interrupted him, under the deep brows and eyes was an indelible thickness, "I went to Beijing to watch in person, there will be no accidents."

Hearing this, Cheng Shangqing also kept silent, but patted him on the shoulder heavily before leaving.

Needless to say, this move just represents his support.

He didn't have much impression of the elder sister who married far away in Jiangbei. Apart from a mother's blood relationship, there seemed to be no other entanglements.

However, Fu Chengci is different. He regards Fu Chengci as a relative and confidant.

In life, it is hard to find a confidant.

If Fu Cheng resigned, he would naturally give everything he had.

Lu Yu wanted to return to Beijing in a hurry, but the disaster relief work could not be stopped. He handed over the matter to Li Qu, who was appointed as the new official in Wangdu.

The latter led the dozens of colleagues behind him, who are tentatively called staff, to take over this heavy responsibility.

This jade card was carried by Xiao Qi, and will be handed over to His Majesty the first moment after entering Beijing.

Lu Yu was still anxious, so he went to Xiao Qi when there was no one around.

And he did have something to hide. His jade card disappeared long before he went to Jiangnan.

His chances of winning are not great. If it is revealed that he has lost the imperial gift at this time, there is no guarantee that someone will not be tampered with, and the chance of disaster relief will not be given to him in his turn.

He was engaged to Jiang, and Emperor Chengde suspected the collusion between the two.

It's just that he didn't expect that the concealment at the beginning would cause the current disaster. If he said that his jade plaque had disappeared, some people would say that he was looking for an excuse when he was about to die.

Anyway, it's a negative side, it's better to think about the countermeasures first.

Could it be possible that a jade medal could really convict him of agreeing with Zhang Zhengqing?

Lu Yu didn't believe it.

It's just that when Xiao Qi came to find him, the latter was a little stunned, "Reporting to the crown prince, the jade tablet has just been sent back to Beijing first."

Lu Yu frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart was amplified, "Didn't you keep this thing in the morning?"

Xiao Qi explained, "It was His Royal Highness King Su who wrote the statement of guilt and went back, and the things were escorted back by the people from the post station and the imperial army."

Lu Yu's good temper was about to be ruined, he said angrily, "What kind of criminal statement is Lu Qi writing!"
