Chapter 402 Little Nine (2)
"It dragged on like that, how do you say that?" Lu Mingxuan looked surprised.

Ling Mengqi said: "When my people found him, he was only slightly injured, and because he was soaked in the water for two days, he was a little weak. Naturally, I will immediately escort him back to the city to seek medical advice and take care of him. Go, but he pushed everyone away, and told me alone that when he left Beijing earlier, that person had summoned him alone, and told him that the water in the Jiangnan officialdom was very deep, so that he could find out Liu Zhun and others this time. The real evidence of people's greed for money from the Mohe River is naturally the best, if not, it's fine, anyway, it will not be a matter of overnight to clear up the Jiangnan officialdom, and sending him this time is more to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, let Liu Zhun and others restrain themselves, and maintain the surface for a few more years It's just calm."

"The third prince told me at the time that the one who said that showed that he was not determined enough to clean up the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, so let him strengthen his determination for him. It is impossible for the prince to suffer from waterlogging caused by the weak dam. Difficult, life and death are uncertain, who hasn't made up his mind to clean up the Jiangnan officialdom? So it seems that he was swept away by the river at that time. It seems that it was an accident, but in fact he did it on purpose. He said that he and his personal servants were watery It's all good, if you think about it, nothing will happen, even if something really happens, if you can exchange your own body for the result of purging the Jiangnan officialdom, it can be regarded as the blessing of the people, the blessing of the community, and he will die well, please let me know Don't let him fall short."

"Firstly, I heard him speak sincerely, and secondly, I thought that Liu Zhun belonged to An Guogong, and naturally belonged to Fengyi Palace's mother and son. If Liu Zhun was questioned, the power of Fengyi Palace's mother and son would be greatly reduced, so At the request of the third prince, he stayed at the place where he was found for another three days. Seeing his injury worsening and developing a high fever, he escorted him back to the city, and that one really made up his mind to deal with Liu Zhun and others. Just by sacrificing his life for righteousness, the third prince is much better than the other few princes who are as beautiful as gold and jade, and among them are rotten princes!"

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan finally understood what Ling Mengqi wrote to herself when she said, "Although something happened to the third prince, there are other inside stories." Tang', but the third prince is able to risk his life for the people of Li, it is indeed much better than the other princes."

If the third prince will be in charge in the future, the thousands of Li people in Dazhou will be really blessed. However, the third prince neither occupies the title of eldest son, nor is he the emperor's favorite. I'm afraid it will never be his turn. What a pity, sir!

Ling Mengqi said: "That's not all. He invited himself to stay in Mengzhou for disaster relief. He did everything by himself. Occasionally, he went to the centralized resettlement site set up by the government to condolences to the victims, or when he met the victims who fled on the road. , that kind of kindness from the heart, not dislike, and empathy cannot deceive people. You also know that although it was not the hottest time a while ago, it was still hot during the day. The smell in the centralized resettlement point can Where does the smell come from? But he never even frowned, so I thought, even if he was pretending to be famous, it is rare to be able to pretend to this extent."

Lu Mingxuan pondered and said: "Hearing what you said, the third prince is really kind-hearted, but... Forget it, those important court affairs are out of your control, but Sister Wei will be blessed in the future."

Ling Mengqi looked up at the wall, saw that half an hour had passed before he knew it, and he didn't want to waste any more time on these boring things that had little to do with them, so he turned to the real thing: " I'll let people see the date tomorrow, and choose the nearest date to come to propose marriage to Uncle Xian and formally settle our affairs, would you like it?"

It also saves the second prince He and his like from coveting her again and making bad plans for her. Of course, he will not let either of these two people go!

When Lu Mingxuan heard that he changed the subject, she turned to their marriage. She couldn't help but blush, and then whispered for a while: "I'm afraid it's not enough to propose marriage to my father, you have to propose marriage to the old man and the old lady first. But the three books and six rituals can be left at my house."

Ling Mengqi saw that her face was flushed, she was extremely shy, and her heart became hot again. He reached out and shook her hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will do what you say. Don't worry, I will never wrong you. In the future It won't make you regret following me."

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of her wearing the malachite green emerald bead chain he had given her on her hand for her birthday, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you wear it every day?"

"En." Lu Mingxuan agreed. Since she received this bracelet, she has never left her body except when she was taking a bath. It is good not to see anyone, but it is good to be able to see things and think about others, but you must not say this. Let him know, otherwise he might not be so proud of himself.

Yin asked him again: "Even though the third prince had an accident in the middle of the journey, Jiangnan's ink corruption case can be regarded as closed, and your task can be regarded as completed. If you think it is useless, you won't be punished?"

Ling Mengqi said: "During the day, when I returned to Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief has already said that although punishment is not enough, it is impossible to reward meritorious deeds. Let me not take it to heart, I am still young anyway. , I still have opportunities in the future, I think that I have been too aggressive in the past two years or so, and it is not a bad thing to stay in this Qianhu seat for a while now."

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly said: "That's the reason. You have been on missions frequently in the past two years, and they are all dangerous missions. How could you know that it wasn't because of your prominence and provoking people's grudges? Now your momentum is slowly rising. It's not a bad thing, as long as you have real skills, why worry about not having a chance in the future?"

Ling Mengqi smiled and said, "As long as you don't think I'm an inferior official, that's fine."

"What are you talking about? How could I dislike you?" Lu Mingxuan rolled her eyes at him, "I wish you would not be an official. In the future... let's find a paradise and live our lives in peace. Unfortunately, I’m afraid it’s absolutely impossible.”

Ling Mengqi was made itchy by her smiling and angry look, and couldn't help but get close to her again, playing flower guns with her: "Listen to you, you have long wanted to marry me?" Started to steal incense and jade.

Lu Mingxuan didn't deny it, "So what, can't you?" But she dodged left and right to prevent him from succeeding, "Oh, you messed up my hair..."

At that moment, the two of them got bored again. Seeing that it was already the third watch, Ling Mengqi still didn't want to leave, but Lu Mingxuan couldn't help Lu Mingxuan thought that he was exhausted from the journey and it was time for him to take a good rest, so she repeatedly drove him away, so he had no choice but to After making an appointment with Lu Mingxuan that he would come back tomorrow night, he reluctantly left.

The rest of Lu Mingxuan looked at the direction he was leaving for a long while. After feeling a little cold, she closed the window, called Danqing in in a low voice, helped herself to wash and lay down on the bed, and fell into a sweet dreamland with a smile on her face...
