Chapter 450 Behind the Scenes (3)
But what does this have to do with Aunt Li's death and Lu Mingli's reluctance to leave the Qi family and marry someone else?Lu Mingxuan looked at Ling Mengqi with doubts in his eyes.

Ling Mengqi then explained to her in detail: "Although the eldest grandma of the second girl is not worthy of her name in the Qi family, she has a lot of dowry maids and companions, and she has money. But if there is any disturbance in the Qi family, she will still It will be known soon, and after a long time, she will naturally know the matter between Prince Gong and Qi Changfeng, but although she knows it, she also hates the eldest lady deeply, but because she is worried that Aunt Li will still have to make a living under the eldest lady, she throws a mouse trick, I have been afraid to release the news to the public.”

"As for Aunt Li, she hated the eldest lady after learning about the life of the second girl in the Qi family. Although she is cowardly, once she is touched against the scales, the rabbit will bite in a hurry. If someone is at this time From time to time, she would urge her in her ear. She couldn't do anything drastic, even risking her own life. After the death of her biological mother, how could the second girl not hate the poisonous lady? At that time, she no longer has any scruples, do you think she will make the matter of Prince Gong and Qi Changfeng public?"

After hearing this, how could Lu Mingxuan not understand that Ling Mengqi is most likely the mastermind behind this matter, otherwise how could he know so clearly?
Yin frowned and asked: "If you plan on Prince Gong like this, you are not afraid that he will retaliate against you even more when he finds out? Even if the incident breaks out by then, his reputation will drop to the bottom, and the emperor will have more reasons not to appoint him as the prince. , but a prince can’t run away. If he becomes angry and wants you to pay the price, how can you be sure that you will be spared? We don’t want to hurt the enemy a thousand, but we hurt ourselves eight hundred or even more many!"

After a pause, he said again: "And have you ever thought about it, brother Xian is innocent no matter what, if his nanny didn't taste the soup first, it would not be his nanny but him who died, he He's only four years old and doesn't understand anything. Could it be that just because he is the grandson of the eldest lady, he deserves to bear the crimes committed by the eldest lady, and he deserves to pay for his life for it? How sad should the old lady, the Duke and even the Duke of the country be? The one who has a grudge against us is Prince Gong. If we want to take revenge, we will also take revenge on Prince Gong. In this way, in order to get revenge on him, we will hurt other innocent people. Man, what is the difference between us and him?"

Seeing the disapproval and even the condemnation in her eyes, Ling Mengqi couldn't help but smile wryly: "It's impossible for you to think I'm willing to do such a thing. Die immediately, and you won't be so unscrupulous and ungrateful, who is it..."

Pointing to the sky, "It was that one who suddenly ordered me to enter the palace a while ago and told me to do this."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Mingxuan couldn't help being taken aback, "Prince Gong is his own son. An ordinary son has done such a scandal. It's too late for parents and elders to help cover it up, but he wants to make it known to everyone. What on earth does he want?" What are you doing, could it be that Prince Gong is not his own son?" But how is that possible!

Ling Mengqi sneered and said, "Prince Gong is his own son, but there can only be one prince, and everyone knows that he never favors Prince Gong."

However, King Gong has both the titles of heir and eldest son. If the emperor wants all civil and military officials to accept him as King Li Ning, he must first make King Gong no longer a prince even if he is the heir. If you are not qualified, then "personal morality is bad" is a very good reason. How can a prince who only loves men and can mess around with his own brother-in-law become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The country and the country that the ancestors worked so hard to hand over to him? !

At that time, if the emperor proposes to establish a fourth prince, who else will object?How can there be any objection?
After trying to understand the joints, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Even if the emperor is partial to King Ning, he can't be partial to this point, right? Of course it is because Prince Gong himself is not the first, but a father wants to do it for a son. , It’s too much to calculate my other son like this, no wonder the ancients said, ‘There is no father and son in the Tian family’!”

Ling Mengqi continued to sneer: "It's not that the Tian family has no father-son affection at all. Doesn't he have a father-son affection for King Ning? The key depends on the son's mother..."

His expression was suddenly indescribably cold, "For example, before I was born, I believe my father must have been looking forward to my arrival, and also dreamed of being a good father in the future, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that Concubine Luo abandoned her husband and son and ran away with the emperor without hesitation. His existence became the source of his father's pain and shame. When he saw him, his father would remember how his mother had betrayed him so decisively. It's too late to hate him, so naturally it's impossible to have any father-son affection for him!

Lu Mingxuan sighed secretly, took his hand lightly, and said softly: "Didn't we say before that every gain must be lost? You would rather grow up to be pampered and pampered. Would you marry a lady from a well-matched family in Linzhou, or would you rather have a night-time conversation with me here by candlelight, and have a heart-to-heart bond with me?"

Ling Mengqi said without hesitation: "Naturally, I'm talking with you here at night by candlelight, and we are in love with each other..." Before he could finish speaking, he smiled, "It's me who is acting like this, whether they are good or bad, father and son against each other, or husband and wife lost their eyes. What does it have to do with us, we just do our own thing and live a good life is enough."

Lu Mingxuan also laughed, waved her fist intentionally, and said coquettishly, "You're smart, if you dare to choose the former, let's see how I deal with you!"

As soon as Ling Mengqi grasped her fist, he deliberately put on a look of "a little boy is afraid", and said with a smile: "There are Hedong lions at home, how dare I be ignorant?"

Lu Mingxuan let out a "puchi" and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, she asked squarely: "Why would the emperor think of asking you to do this? Although he thinks of Luo... for the sake of the one in Chonghua Palace, he won't make things difficult for you anymore. You shouldn't be entrusting such a confidential matter to you, is there no one else in Jinyiwei except you? Or does he know about the old grievances between you and Prince Gong?"

Ling Mengqi frowned and said: "Only Murong Ke, I, you and Danqing knew what happened that day. Murong Ke will not be so stupid as to expose his faults, and Danqing is also a trustworthy person. He probably wouldn't know. I reckon He is thinking that the relationship between me and King Ning cannot be erased no matter what. If I do such a thing, at least I don’t have to worry that I will leak the secret when it is a last resort. After all, in his opinion, only Only when King Ning ascends to the throne can I truly make a fortune!"

This makes sense. No matter how unwilling the emperor is to accept the fact that Ling Mengqi and King Ning are brothers from the same mother, he will not be able to change it. It is better to turn disadvantages into advantages, let Ling Mengqi be used by him, and cultivate for King Ning to belong to him. own strength.
