Chapter 371 Satisfied (2)
Unexpectedly, things turned out to be worse than the old man had expected. The third prince was swept away by the river. It was said that his life and death were uncertain, but everyone knew that his hope of surviving was extremely slim.

Now the emperor has even more reason to send Liu Zhun and the others down. Let’s not talk about being greedy for ink or not. The fact that the emperor’s heir was in trouble in the south of the Yangtze River is enough to make Liu Zhun and the others lose their lives. The party was hit hard, the third prince directly lost his life, and the second prince did something bad, and the emperor proposed to establish a fourth prince, who else would object, and who could oppose it?
Lu Zhongmian also sighed: "It's a pity for the third prince... But as my father said just now, our family has always been loyal to the emperor. No matter which prince comes to power in the end, it doesn't make much difference to our family. But we picked out as many old officials as possible of our family’s disciples in the south of the Yangtze River, maybe after Liu Zhun and others are questioned, we can still get a share.”

The old Duke nodded: "You can arrange it." After speaking, he gave Lu Zhongmian a few words before dismissing him, and he didn't let anyone in. He meditated alone, it was the emperor who was really determined to make four Prince, someone has to take the lead. Do you want to be the leader?

Originally, it would be easy to send favors to adults like this, and a fool would know how to choose. As long as he obeyed the emperor's wishes, no matter whether the emperor's dragon body was healthy or not, his family would definitely benefit in the future. However, the Duke of the State could not do such a thing; but if he did not take the lead, the Emperor would probably not agree. It was almost dawn before finally making a decision. Anyway, wait until the Jiangnan incident is over. In such a long time, who can be sure that the situation will not change?

Mrs. Lu did not come back from the palace until the afternoon of the next day. After learning that Mrs. Lu had returned, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu hurried to Rongtaiju.

The two sisters had just arrived, and Mrs. Lu led Grandma Lu, Second Grandma Lu and Lu Mingli to her back. Seeing the exhaustion on Mrs. Lu's face, Mrs. Lu and Grandma Lu hurriedly took care of her and went to the clean room Freshen up and change clothes.

At that moment, Mrs. Lu came out after washing, and she had changed into a ginger-yellow vase-patterned shirt, and her complexion looked much better.

Lu Mingli hurriedly took the tea from the maid and served it: "Grandmother, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

Mrs. Lu took it, drank several sips before handing it to Lu Mingli, and asked Mrs. Lu, "I've been away for the past two days, so nothing happened at home?"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly smiled and said: "Everything is fine at home, mother can rest assured, but the empress dowager doesn't know what's going on right now? Originally, Yili's daughter-in-law should also go to the palace to visit the empress dowager, but she is afraid of disturbing her old man's cleanliness , so I can only pray for her old man at home."

Mrs. Lu sighed: "What can I do? If it doesn't happen, it will happen. Although the Empress Dowager is sad, she also knows that no matter how sad she is, it won't help. With everyone's persuasion, she has let go a lot. Assuming that it will not hurt her body, but Concubine Ding is so thin that she is out of shape. Now, she still has a sliver of vitality to support her body before she finds the body. Once bad news comes, she may follow her Already!"

This is also very easy to understand. After the Empress Dowager Luo loves the third prince, it is not only his grandson, but without the third prince, there are other grandsons. Concubine Xiao Ding only has the third prince and one son. She has been out of favor for many years, and the situation with the widow It's no different, once the third prince dies, wouldn't she be like a widow whose son died, with no hope in this life?
"Hey, they are all mothers. Why can't the daughter-in-law understand the mood of Concubine Ding? It's just that the dead are already dead, but the living still have to live. I only hope that Concubine Ding can see it better, otherwise I will be so sad that I will break my body. Could it be that the third prince can't feel at ease under Nine Springs?" Mrs. Lu had a mournful face, and she tucked the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief as she spoke, with a look of compassion.

However, what she said was really a bit too much. If the body of the third prince is not found for a day, it is impossible to say that he is dead. Now Mrs. Lu is talking about the "dead" and "under the nine springs" one by one, even if The sadness on her face at that time could not help but give people a sense of hypocrisy and gloating.

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu looked at each other, and they couldn't help but frowned, but because Mrs. Lu was an elder, even if they didn't take her seriously in their hearts, they definitely had no reason to criticize her.

The two sisters are not good at blaming Mrs. Lu, but Mrs. Lu has no such scruples. Old people don't want to listen to death and life, and it is easier than ordinary people to empathize with such things. Thinking about Concubine Xiao Ding's appearance in the palace that she was so thin that her wrists couldn't fit the jade bracelet, I always felt uncomfortable. Who knew that Mrs. Lu would say such things again, so she had the nerve to say 'it's all about being a mother. A person like her is worthy of being a mother?
He immediately lowered his face and said: "What are you talking about, the third prince is a lucky man, and he will definitely be in trouble and turn evil into good luck. If you say this, you know that you are worried that the concubine Ding will be confused. I don't know. I thought you cursed the third prince with empty mouth and white teeth, did you have some bad intentions!"

This is a bit serious, especially in front of all the juniors, Mrs. Lu blushed immediately, she didn't know whether she was ashamed or angry, she hurriedly stood up and pleaded guilty in a low voice: "It's all because the daughter-in-law made a mistake in a moment of anxiety. If so, please forgive me, mother!"

Mrs. Lu said softly: "In front of our own family, it's fine for you to say that. If you say that again in front of others, they can't say for sure what they will think. You have to remember, You are the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and you represent the Lu family when you go out, and you will enjoy the incense offerings from the descendants of the Lu family after you die. It should be done in moderation!"

Remind Mrs. Lu from the side, don't think that two or three princes have accidents one after another, the position of crown prince must belong to the eldest prince, let alone the fourth prince, even if there is no one, the eldest prince is already a certain prince, Mrs. Lu She is also from the Lu family, even if the eldest prince becomes the emperor, what she enjoys after death is the incense offerings from the Lu family, not from the royal family, so don't let her get carried away!
Mrs. Lu's face was red and white and green after being said, and she scolded Mrs. Lu to death in her heart. It has reached this point today. You still look down on my son-in-law so much. I'm waiting Look at your begging face after my son-in-law really becomes the emperor!

However, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, and suppressed his shame and indignation and whispered: "Thank you for your mother's teaching, my daughter-in-law has written it down..."

Before finishing speaking, a woman trotted in and reported: "Just now, the old man sent a message in, saying that the third prince was found, but because he was soaked in the water for too long before, he sent a message for several days and nights." High fever, people are still very weak now, the doctor won't let me move the place, I'm afraid it will be more than a month before I return to Beijing."
