My husband is a traitor

Chapter 281 Don't Force, Bring It Out
When they returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, both of them became drowned chickens.

Jiang Linlang was drenched all over, and Rong Jue was not much better.

She sneezed, and Mu Youran carried her like a chicken and threw her into the steaming tub.

"Take a good bath and drink some ginger soup later!" Mu Youran was very speechless to this junior sister who was causing trouble for her as soon as she came back. After speaking, she went out and ordered the housekeeper to bring over the ginger soup that she had prepared in advance.

When Rong Jue took a shower and changed into clean clothes, Jiang Linlang was already wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the bed, obediently drinking ginger soup.

Mu Youran watched her drink from the side, and when she saw Rong Jue coming in, she nodded and said, "Talk carefully, I'll go back to my room first."

As he said that, Jiang Linlang gave Jiang Linlang a self-seeking look from the corner of his eyes.

After the door closed, Jiang Linlang glanced at the man who was walking towards her step by step, and swallowed slightly, the taste of ginger soup in her mouth, it was spicy.

She put down the bowl and pointed to another bowl of ginger soup prepared for him, "Drink it, to prevent the wind and cold."

Hugging the quilt, she moved back slightly.

Rong Jue sat on the side of the bed, picked up the ginger soup, and instinctively frowned. He had never liked the taste of ginger, but then he relaxed his eyebrows and eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Linlang beside him, raised his neck, and drank it in one gulp.

Jiang Linlang immediately handed over the handkerchief, he took it, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Are you afraid now?" Seeing her extraordinarily well-behaved and cautious expression in her eyes, Rong Jue raised the end of her eyes noncommittally and asked.

Embarrassed, Jiang Linlang rolled her eyes.

Rong Jue interrupted him before he could speak, "Don't say it if you don't want to. I don't want to listen to lies."

It immediately exposed Jiang Linlang's desire to find a suitable explanation.

When she heard this, her face turned slightly pale, and she looked at him hesitantly, "Aren't you angry?"

If before, she sneaked out, still...dressed up like this, and then came back convulsed, Rong Jue would definitely be suspicious, he has always been very suspicious.

If she doesn't explain clearly, he will be angry.

But now, she couldn't find any signs of anger on his face. Although he couldn't see the high spirits, he was indeed lifeless and gloomy.

Pulling up the quilt that had slipped off his shoulders, Rong Jue looked at Jiang Linlang indifferently, and when his eyes met, Jiang Linlang involuntarily lowered his gaze.

He said disapprovingly, "When the time comes, what you want to know, what I want to know, will naturally be known."

"I won't force you."

He blinked slightly and said.

I don't force you.

For four words, Jiang Linlang's eyes were sore, she clenched her lips, bit her lower lip, and said in a dull tone, "Thank you, Rong Jue."

"This tone doesn't sound like gratitude." Rong Jue raised his hand, seeing her listless look, couldn't help but patted her head and rubbed her hair.

Tonight's Rong Jue seemed extraordinarily gentle and good-natured.Jiang Linlang was killed by touching her head. She was stunned for a while before raising her head and staring at him stupidly.

"The emperor summoned, Ouyang Lie asked him to marry Gu Mingzhu as his concubine, and he agreed." Seeing her in a daze, Rong Jue took the initiative to change the subject and said.

Jiang Linlang's expression changed when she heard the words, and she couldn't believe it, "Then, do Gu Shengchang and the queen know about this? Can they agree to marry Gu Mingzhu?"

Don't say that Gu Mingzhu herself couldn't be willing because she has always been obsessed with Qi Rui, even that old fox Gu Shengchang, who only wanted to train his daughter to become the next queen, couldn't agree to this marriage.In addition, there is an ambitious queen who loves Gu Mingzhu more and hopes that the next queen will be Gu's daughter...

It's impossible for this marriage to happen.

Rong Jue answered the doubt for her, "Paper can't cover fire, Ouyang Lie and Gu Mingzhu are already like this, the emperor was very upset when he heard this, but he was not surprised. It seems that he had discussed it with the empress beforehand.

Not only that, because Gu Mingzhu married to the southern country, the emperor also sent people to send a lot of jewelry to Renshou Palace to show his sympathy for the queen.As for Gu Shengchang, who knows what kind of plan he was planning to send his precious daughter out with such cooperation. "

Jiang Linlang was greatly surprised by Rong Jue's words, even if the empress could no longer ask this niece to be her daughter-in-law because of Gu Mingzhu's loss of virginity, then Gu Shengchang was scheming and refused to suffer at all, how could he agree so easily?
too weird.

But what Jiang Linlang can be sure of is that it seems that Gu Mingzhu is the apple of the eye of the two of them, but in fact... not at all.

"This...why wouldn't Mrs. Protector agree just like that?"

Rong Jue twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, "The most interesting thing is that after the news about Gu Mingzhu reached Duke Huguo's mansion, Gu Shengchang announced to the public the next day that Mrs. Guo was ill and has not yet woken up. Gu After Mingzhu returned home, she has not seen her yet."

sick?

What disease is so aggressive, so serious all of a sudden?

Jiang Linlang smelled a strange smell, and she couldn't help asking Rong Jue for help, "Do you know something inside?"

"If my guess is correct—the empress and Gu Shengchang already know the secret of Chuanguo's jade seal, and they want to use us to snatch the jade seal. I planted an eyeliner in the Duke's mansion before, and desperately found out some news——The Duke of Huguo Madam once went to Gu Shengchang's study at night, but it was strange that she stayed at the door for a while but did not go in, and then Gu Shengchang went to find her the next day. After that, she became seriously ill. "

No matter how you hear this sentence, it sounds like...

Mrs. Gu Shengchang knew a great secret, and then was silenced?

Seeing her eyes flickering, Rong Jue continued, "But that night, the Empress was not in my bedroom."

The implication is self-evident.

The queen is not in the palace, so where did she go?Gu Shengchang must have been talking to someone in the study, his wife accidentally overheard the content, and then ran away in a panic.

But there are so many eyeliners of the dead in Duke Huguo's mansion, Gu Shengchang has no reason not to know, that's why there is Mrs. Huguogong who is seriously ill.However, Gu Shengchang waited until the news of Gu Mingzhu came before declaring that his intentions were not vicious enough.

Even his own wife and daughter can be persecuted and used.

"The empress has always suspected that the jade card is on me. It seems that this trip to the hot spring palace is hard to rule out that she deliberately arranged it." Jiang Linlang knelt on the bed, her legs became numb, and she changed her position , frowning, "The purpose is to let the mantis catch the cicada and the oriole, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Hearing this, Rong Jue nodded noncommittally, feeling a little relieved that Jiang Linlang's head was still useful at critical times.

"Yes, it is."

But Jiang Linlang was not in a good mood. She scratched her hair and said in distress, "Then what should we do now? They know about the jade seal and the jade plaque, and also know the secret of the hot spring palace, so... things will be troublesome." .”

"No, they can't ride the big waves."
