Chapter 161: A Temporary Breath of Relief (2)
"Just pray that my brother is safe," Mrs. Lu breathed a long sigh of relief, "Then where is he now? Is he still staying in Chonghua Palace? If the mother is not the mother and the child is not the child, I don't know what will happen in the future!"

The old man said: "Although Concubine Luo is no longer in danger of life, she is still very weak. I wish Brother Qi could keep watch over her. How can I let Brother Qi leave the Chonghua Hall? I heard from Eunuch Gao I'm afraid Brother Qi won't even think about going out of the palace for ten days and a half months, forget it, the emperor values ​​Luo Guifei so much, maybe Brother Qi will be blessed by misfortune because of this incident?"

Mrs. Lu curled her lips and said, "I'd rather not have this kind of luck placed on me!"

The old man was silent for a moment, before he said: "It's up to you and me to decide whether you want it or not, and there is no need to say any more, just ask someone to set the meal. I've been so hungry all morning. The chest is attached to the back!"

Mrs. Lu was surprised and said: "It's almost time to submit the application, and you haven't eaten yet?" Before she finished speaking, she remembered that something big happened in the palace. It would be strange if the Duke of the State came back after eating, because he was so busy that he ordered Nanny Zhang to prepare the meal, so I won't give a detailed list for now.

Besides, since Lu Mingxuan learned that Ling Mengqi was brought into the palace by Jin Yiwei early this morning, her heart has been hanging high. Not only is she very worried about the situation Ling Mengqi will face next, but she also doesn't know what to do. How to explain to Hu Zi.

It turned out that after Ling Mengqi was taken away in the morning, Huzi almost didn't panic. He didn't know the relationship between Ling Mengqi and Concubine Luo. Rao was the one who served him personally since childhood, but was actually closer than his own brother. Ling Mengqi still didn't know how to tell Huzi about this matter, so Huzi didn't know anything so far, but it was precisely because he didn't know anything that he panicked even more. He felt powerless to inquire about the news, he thought for a while, and now the only person he could turn to for help seemed to be Lu Mingxuan, so he rushed back to the Duke's mansion, managed to pass a message to Danqing, and quietly met Danqing However, Lu Mingxuan found out about this after going through several twists and turns.

It's just that although Lu Mingxuan's status is higher than Huzi's, she is still powerless to save Ling Mengqi. At best, she can help find out some news, so since she knew about this, she asked Danqing to keep paying attention to Rongtaiju's movements. Believe that what happened to Concubine Luo Gui, the old Duke and Mrs. Lu were also afraid that the emperor would anger them, so they must always pay attention to the news in the palace. She knew exactly when she came back.

The question now is, how can she get the news she wants to know from Rongtaiju, it is a big deal, she believes that there will not be too many people who know about it, at most, the old man and Mrs. Lu Not only Nanny Zhang, the four of them may not know, although they are the ones who can be used by Mrs. Lu, but they are not the confidantes of the confidants. With Mrs. Lu's caution, I am afraid that they will not let the They know that.

Therefore, the only person she can inquire about is Zhang Nanny, but who is Zhang Nanny? If everyone inquires about the news from her, she will not be able to become the confidant of Mrs. Lu's confidant , has such a transcendent status in Dingguo Mansion!

After much deliberation, Lu Mingxuan finally decided to simply ask Mrs. Lu directly, so as to save herself from asking Nanny Zhang. In the end, Mrs. Lu would know, and she might not be able to ask anything. As for whether Mrs. Lu would doubt it What is the matter between her and Ling Mengqi, she can't care about it now that the matter is in a hurry.

So when it came to Youshi, Lu Mingxuan didn't call Lu Mingfu, and went to Rongtaiju to pay her respects to Mrs. Lu by herself about an incense stick earlier than usual.

Mrs. Lu was obviously very surprised that Lu Mingxuan would come here alone, so she asked with a smile: "Why did Miss Xuan come here so early today, and why didn't your sister come with you?"

Time was limited, so Lu Mingxuan decided to get straight to the point: "To be honest, Madam, I have something important to ask you when I come here." She said and glanced at the servants.

Mrs. Lu's heart tightened, thinking that she would have something important to ask her, could it be that she already knew her true life experience?But she didn't show it on her face, she only nodded to Nanny Zhang, and the latter waved away all the servants, Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "There is no one else in the room now, what do you want to ask?" , just ask."

Lu Mingxuan said quickly: "I would like to ask the old lady, how is Brother Ling Shi in the palace now? Is he still...is he here?"

Mrs. Lu never thought that Lu Mingxuan would ask herself this. The most serious question she imagined that Lu Mingxuan would ask herself was nothing more than a question about her life experience. She even thought about answering her words, but she didn't. Thinking that she would actually ask how Ling Mengqi is doing now, how did she know that Ling Mengqi had entered the palace?She also asked if he was still here now, could it be that she knew something... A thought flashed across her mouth, and she asked with a smile: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this, but who is talking nonsense in front of you?"

Lu Mingxuan was afraid that Mrs. Lu would misunderstand, so she hurriedly said: "No one is talking nonsense in front of me. It was brother Ling Shixie's Huzi and Danqing from my house who accidentally discovered that they might be from the same village while chatting. Huzi found out this morning. He asked Danqing, saying that his son was taken into the palace by Jin Yiwei's colleagues early in the morning. He was worried that his son had accidentally offended some noble person, and he was afraid that his time would be bad or bad, but his status was low. Don't talk about saving lives, I can't even find out any news, so I took the liberty to ask Danqing, and wanted to ask me to help find out the news through Danqing, but what can I know? I have to ask the old lady, if the old lady I know, I don’t know if you can tell me, so that Hu Zibai won’t be worried, Danqing said he was going crazy, a big man, crying his nose and tears, and kowtowed to Danqing, I couldn't bear to hear it, and I begged the old lady to show mercy."

"So that's the case." Mrs. Lu nodded, "Then it's okay for me to tell you that your trip, Brother Ling Shi, is not in any danger, but the Jinwu Guard temporarily wanted to select a group of inner guards to guard the inner court, and he was selected. So he was transferred to the palace as an errand, and it is said that it will take ten days and a half months to come out. The same is true for that kid, Hu Zi, and even a little thing is worth it. What's your maidservant's name? She's not a good girl. She dared to make friends with guests behind her master's back. Could it be that she's getting older and gradually has some unsuitable thoughts? Then it's hard to keep her, otherwise she If some scandal happens someday, don't you think your face will be shamed, and I'm afraid that you will lose your temper... Nanny Zhang, in a few days, you can find an excuse to send that maid named Danqing to Zhuangzi .”
