Chapter 422 Jade Pendant
Sun Nanli looked at her father with wide eyes.
For as long as she could remember, her mother had been living in Zhuangzi because she was in poor health and needed to recuperate.
But Sunanli always wondered, wouldn't it be better to recuperate in Kyoto? There are the best doctors, the best environment, and the best medicinal materials here, so why do you have to go to Zhuangzi?
At first, she thought it was the concubines in the house who caused her father to do the bastard thing of doting on concubines and killing his wife. But as she grew up, her brother always firmly controlled the military power of the southern Xinjiang army. She knew that she
The idea is wrong.
But I still don’t know why. After all, even her mother said several times that it was just to recuperate from illness.
Now that Marquis Dingyuan mentioned it, Sunanli's breath froze.
Marquis Dingyuan sighed deeply, "Your mother went to Zhuangzi and it involved government affairs. I can't say too much. I can only say that it has something to do with King Yu. Only after King Yu died did your mother dare to come back. But this does not mean that
It was all right.
Nan Li, listen to me and tell me where is your mother now?"
Sunan Li's heart beat like thunder.
Prince Yu was guilty of treason and beheading. How did her mother get involved with Prince Yu?
But her father didn't want to lie to her, and there was no need to lie. Su Nanli twirled her fingers and softened her tone, "Dad, I really don't know where mother went. Before she left, she only told me that after tonight
, I can marry Yu Yan if I want to, and she promises that Yu Yan will marry me."
"She didn't tell you anything else?"
Sun Nanli shook his head, "No."
"Then do you know who she took with her when she went out?" Hou Dingyuan was extremely anxious.
Sun Nanli continued to shake his head, "I don't know, I really don't know."
Without asking anything, Marquis Dingyuan came out of Sunanli's house in despair and fear. As soon as he came out, he met his concubine Aunt Lu.
Marquis Dingyuan frowned, "Why are you here?"
Aunt Lu was in poor health, and she coughed twice in the cold wind. "Madam didn't come back all night, and I was very worried. I heard that the Marquis came to see the eldest lady, and I was afraid that the Marquis would come to see the eldest lady.
The young prince got angry, so I wanted to give him a few words of advice.
As soon as I arrived, the Marquis came out."
As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and glanced at the door behind Marquis Dingyuan, "Is the eldest lady okay?"
Marquis Dingyuan ignored Aunt Lu, and first glanced at his entourage, who nodded gently. Only then did Marquis Dingyuan believe Aunt Lu's words, and his expression softened, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about this if you are not well.
It’s the middle of the night, go back quickly.”
Marquis Dingyuan walked out, Aunt Lu turned around and followed him.
"How can I sleep? There is some soup stewed in my room. The Marquis is worried that the lady will not be able to sleep either. Why not go and have a bowl? The Marquis will not use much for dinner tonight."
Aunt Lu was gentle and petty, and Marquis Dingyuan was indeed a little hungry, so he did not refuse.
He brought Marquis Dingyuan into the house and helped him take off his shoes to get on the kang. Aunt Lu rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen herself.
Her personal maid was waiting in the kitchen. Aunt Lu whispered a few words in her ear. The maid responded and turned around and left the kitchen.
After a while, Aunt Lu went to Dingyuan Hou with wontons in chicken soup.
Anbo Palace.
The servants in the mansion reported back for the twenty-eighth time, but Gu Heng has not returned yet.
Are you going to buy buns?
You have to go to the ground to grow cabbage for the stuffing of steamed buns first!
My younger brother cannot stay.
My eight-year-old brother has become a mysterious person.
Not only did he go out alone to "buy buns", he also got rid of the four secret guards who were following him on the way to "buy buns"!
Gu Luo once again confirmed the doubts in her heart: Her brother is a time traveler. Even if he is not a time traveler, he is at least a rebirth. Otherwise, it will be too difficult to explain, huh? An eight-year-old boy?
Chang Ming stood on one side and said, "Princess, why don't you humble yourself and send someone else to look for her?"
Gu Luo waved his hand, "If he can get rid of those four secret guards, who else can you send to find him? No need to worry. Have the people we sent to search the forest sent back any news?"
"Not yet."
After Chang Ming finished speaking, a boy came in from outside and said, "Princess, the maid in front of Aunt Lu of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion wants to see you."
Gu Luo and Chang Ming were both stunned.
who?
Aunt Lu of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?
It had been a long time since she heard about this person, and Gu Luo almost forgot that it was this Aunt Lu who reported to her that Su Nanli had harmed her.
Why is her maid here in the middle of the night?
Now that he was special and sensitive, and the other party was from Dingyuan Hou Mansion, Gu Luo did not see him immediately, but asked Chang Ming to go over and see what was going on.
Chang Ming took the little maid over to the tea room of the second porter of Anbo Prince's Mansion, "The princess has gone to bed, and you can tell me the same thing."
The maid looked at Chang Ming and said, "Our aunt has ordered that the message can only be brought to the princess. It is related to the conversation between our Lord and the eldest lady tonight. It may be related to the disappearance of Young Master Xiao. You should take me to see the princess."
.”
As she said that, the maid took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Chang Ming, "Our aunt was previously a maid of Master Lu's family in Lu Pingshan. This jade pendant was given to our aunt by Miss Qingshuang."
Chang Ming never expected to hear such a sentence and looked at the maid in shock.
The maid then said: "Otherwise, why do you think our aunt helped your princess so many times? Our lady helped when the eldest lady of Dingyuan Hou Mansion harmed the princess. Later, there was a banquet held in Beiyan Post House, and our lady was afraid that your princess would be there.
When I was being harassed, I specially asked the Marquis to come to the house to ask for help, so he told her that our aunt was sick and invited her to come and have a look."
I will always remember this.
At that time, Gu Luo had not yet married their young prince.
The Anping Prefecture really planned to attack Gu Luo at Beiyan Posthouse.
Marquis Dingyuan did go there out of nowhere and said he was asking Medical Officer Gu to come over and see a doctor.
I see.
After thinking for a while, Chang Ming took the jade pendant and brought him to Gu Luo.
Looking at the jade pendant, Gu Luo looked at the maid in shock and disbelief.
The maid curtsied and saluted, "My aunt's surname of Lu was given by Miss Qingshuang at that time. In addition to my aunt, I also served Miss Qingshuang, as well as Aunt Ruan from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
When Master Lu was convicted, my aunt and Aunt Ruan were both imprisoned. It was Marquis Dingyuan who bought her out and kept her in the house as a concubine.
It’s just that Aunt Ruan took the wrong path later.”
Needless to say, it goes without saying what the wrong path was. After all, it was Yu Yan who sent Ruan to prison, and Yu Yan did it for Gu Luo. That happened when Gu Luo and Yu Yan first met.
Caressing the jade pendant, Gu Luo suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, "What did your aunt ask you to say?"
