   Chapter 173 Mother and Son (1)

  As soon as the stewards left, the inner hall became much quieter.

   Eunuch Cai, who was lying on the ground, was soaked with cold water, his back was covered in blood, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to beg his master's life, looking really miserable and pitiful.

  Lu Mingyu and Li Jing didn't sympathize with him, of course, they didn't even look at him, they went to the dining hall with their hands.

   I've been busy for a long time, and I'm hungry, so let's fill it up first.

   On the way, Li Jingshao couldn't help laughing a few words in a low voice: "The second prince and maiden are majestic today, and everyone admires them. In the future, everyone in this mansion will obey the second prince and concubine."

  Lu Mingyu glanced at Li Jing with a smile: "Isn't His Royal Highness the second prince afraid of the loss of his husband's gang?"

   Li Jing smiled candidly: "On the day I got engaged, I was ready for the rest of my life."

  Lu Mingyu: "…"

  Lu Mingyu was amused: "So, in your heart, I am a tigress."

   Li Jing smiled lowly: "It is the tigress, and the most beautiful one."

  Bah!

  Lu Mingyu spat at him with a smile.

   Qiyun, who was following behind, breathed a sigh of relief.

   Before, in the inner hall, Lu Mingyu showed great power and sent Eunuch Cai down with a thunderous momentum, and he pressed the stewards to the point where they couldn't even breathe.

   As a slave, she is very proud of her master! But he was also secretly worried that His Royal Highness the Second Prince would be unhappy.

  Fortunately, the young couple was newly married, and it was the time when the love between honey and oil was intensified. His own master was a little bit fierce, but it didn't hurt the relationship between husband and wife.

  …

   After lunch, Commander Zuo also came back. Everyone in the house, including the beautiful Mrs. Cai and the sturdy Young Master Cai, were brought here.

  Lu Mingyu didn't ask: "I'm a little tired, I'll take a nap."

   left the matter to Li Jing to deal with.

  Li Jing nodded slightly, coldness flashed in his eyes.

  Lu Mingyu went to the bedroom to sleep, and it took two hours to sleep. After making up for the sleep, feeling refreshed, he opened his mouth and asked Qiyun, "Where is Your Highness?"

Qiyun replied in a low voice: "Half an hour ago, Your Highness sent Eunuch Xiaoyuan to send a message. The lady was still sleeping, but the slave did not wake her up. His Highness interrogated Eunuch Cai in person, and he was beaten with thirty boards by Eunuch Cai. . Now he has entered the palace."

   Disposing of a minion is not a big deal. However, Eunuch Cai is Queen Qiao's person after all. Li Jing naturally wanted to enter the palace in person and explain the matter to Queen Qiao.

  Lu Mingyu nodded and said nothing.

   It was Qiyun, who couldn't help but smile and said, "His Royal Highness is really considerate to Miss! I can't bear to let Miss feel wronged."

  Otherwise, if this matter spread to the palace, Queen Qiao would definitely face shame and anger in her heart. Even if Eunuch Cai died, it was someone sent by her mother-in-law. How could she have to deal with it first if she didn't know her?

  Lu Mingyu was silent for a moment, then pointedly said: "When you are newly married, you will naturally be very kind to me. It will depend on the future."

   At that time, she and Li Hao were newly married and had a sweet and loving time. What happened after that, needless to say.

  Qiyun naturally couldn't hear the meaning of Lu Mingyu's words, and replied with a smile: "I'll talk about it later! Anyway, at the moment, His Highness is very kind to Miss."

   A man who does this to his wife is really good.

  Lu Mingyu smiled slightly.

   Today, she really did it on purpose, whether it was tempting or saying it was taking the opportunity to gain power. In short, through this matter, the claws will shine first.

   It depends on how Queen Qiao reacts.

  …

   Queen Qiao's exclamation came from the Jiaofang Hall: "What did you say? Eunuch Cai dares to collect money in private and spread the news of the house?"

   Li Jing's handsome face was full of anger: "Yes. I have asked clearly."

   "Eunuch Guo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent him a house in private. That house was worth 2,000 taels. The maids and servants in the house, as well as the 'Mrs. Young Master', were also sent by Eunuch Guo together."

   "Eunuch Cai is full of loyalty. He communicates closely with Eunuch Guo in private, and tells Eunuch Guo about the affairs of the mansion in private. I have lived in the palace for the past two years, otherwise, my every move will be in the public eye."

   "This kind of servant who has betrayed his master must not be kept. I ordered him to beat him sixty times and put him in the dungeon in the mansion. Whether he can survive it depends on how hard his life is."

   Queen Qiao's face turned blue with anger after hearing this.

   The first thing that came to mind was, of course, the anger of Diao slaves betraying their masters.

   A few years ago, after the construction of the Prince's Palace, Concubine Meng in the palace first asked Emperor Yongjia and put her confidants into the First Prince's Palace.

   Immediately afterwards, Concubine Qin followed the example of Concubine Meng Gui and kept blowing in the ears of the Queen Mother Zhao. Empress Dowager Zhao shot directly, passed Queen Qiao, and picked someone to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

   Queen Qiao was sullen and had no choice, so she chose the loyal and reliable Eunuch Cai from the Jiaofang Hall. As for Su Zhaorong, she wanted to open her mouth, but as soon as she revealed her words, Queen Qiao pouted back: "What? You can't trust the person chosen by this palace?"

  Su Zhaorong has no one to support him, no matter how much he talks.

   Absolutely never expected that she would look away and pick such a dog servant who is loyal and betrayed by the Lord and righteousness!

   "What are you going to do with this class of people?" Queen Qiao said angrily, "Immediately kill him!"

   Li Jing said solemnly: "Mom, calm down, I will handle it myself."

Queen Qiao couldn't calm her anger, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, she couldn't help but slapped the table hard: "It's really abominable! That Eunuch Guo must be someone from Concubine Meng. Except for her, no one has the courage to extend their hands outside the palace, Reach into the Second Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, you found out early, and there was no trouble."

etc!

   Queen Qiao suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Li Jing suspiciously: "How did you know about Eunuch Cai and Eunuch Guo in private?"

  Li Jing replied without changing his face: "Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Xiaoyu."

   Queen Qiao was stunned again and frowned: "What the **** is going on?"

So, in Li Jingkou, there is such a good daughter-in-law Lu Mingyu who is wholeheartedly concerned about him before he gets married: "...After getting married, Xiaoyu made people pay attention to the people and things in the second prince's mansion, thinking about a When you get married, you will manage the internal affairs for me and solve problems for me."

   "She found out that Eunuch Cai went to the private house. She was inconvenient to make a sound at the time, and only ordered people to keep an eye on Eunuch Cai. She didn't tell me until this morning."

"I was so furious that I immediately sent the Zuo commander to take people to the private house and brought everyone in the house into the house. This inquiry turned out to be true at all. Eunuch Cai was full of loyalty, but in fact he was betrayed by the Lord. I lived in The Prince's Mansion has only been around for half a month, so it's nothing to worry about, so he has also sent out the news twice."

   "Thanks to Xiaoyu, otherwise, I would still be deceived by Diao slave and kept in the dark."

  Queen Joe: "…"
