Chapter 241 Give it a try

Author: Pony Crossing the Bridge

The anxious Bi Luo quickly came back to her senses when she heard Qin Lu's voice, and grabbed her hand as if she saw a savior, "Miss Qin, you are finally here, please go in and take a look, my wife has not eaten or drank all day."

Yes, no matter how hard I try to persuade you, I can’t persuade you. I went to see the Crown Prince and I’m not back now.”

Bi Luo was really anxious, so anxious that she almost cried.

Qin Lu softly comforted Bi Luo before asking, "When did Lord Shangshu go to see the Crown Prince? Did he have something to see the Crown Prince, or did the Crown Prince summon him?"

Bi Luo rolled her eyes, then looked around, then mysteriously pulled Qin Lu and whispered: "The prince sent someone to invite me. I thought something was wrong. After the master left, the lady began to feel uneasy. After these three meals

I didn’t even eat it.”

"I understand, go and do your work."

Qin Lu smiled at Bi Luo and gave her a reassuring look.

After Bi Luo left, Qin Lu opened the door and entered Madam Shangshu's room, "Madam, am I coming in?"

"Lulu, are you here?" Mrs. Shangshu was sitting in front of the bronze mirror. She looked like she had lost all her energy, her eyes were unfocused, and she had no trace of her former charm.

"What's wrong?" Qin Lu came to the madam distressedly, took her hand, and asked her, "Why don't you eat well? I don't know how distressed I am."

"Lulu, I'm really not in the mood to eat."

"Are you worried about Master Shangshu?" Qin Lu did not choose to ask step by step, but said what she thought.

Mrs. Shangshu didn't seem to expect Qin Lu to think of it so quickly. She looked at Qin Lu in astonishment.

Meeting Mrs. Shangshu's surprised eyes, Qin Lu said calmly: "Madam, just now Biluo said that your Excellency was called away by the Crown Prince. It's been a catastrophic hour and he hasn't returned yet."

"Yes, I suspect that the prince is worried that his husband is on the prince's side, so he sent him away. You also know that my husband is a straight-tempered man. He never likes to be manipulated by powerful people. If this is not a good answer, is it necessary?

Die in the East Palace?"

Mrs. Shangshu cried immediately when she thought of this.

Qin Lu looked at Mrs. Shangshu's eyes with tears in her eyes. She sighed and said comfortingly: "Madam, Mr. Shangshu was called away by the Crown Prince. Many people can testify that if you died in the East Palace, the Crown Prince would not be able to explain it clearly."

"Yes, that seems to be the case. Will your husband be fine?" Mrs. Shangshu stopped crying and dragged Qin Lu nervously.

Qin Lu patted the back of her hand and said, "Madam, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Wait a minute. I have asked Tieniu to send people to the East Palace to investigate and see if there is anything strange."

"Okay, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"Madam, when we first arrived, you didn't ignore us because we were common people, and you don't need to be so polite now."

Mrs. Shangshu truly felt that she was lucky to have made friends with Qin Lu. In fact, she and her husband did not say so openly, but in fact they supported the prince and Qin Lu in their hearts.

If not, she wouldn't worry about her husband.

Coaxed by Qin Lu's words, Mrs. Shangshu finally ate some. But after finishing the meal, she began to worry again, "Lulu, what do you think we should do?"

"Don't worry, the people from Tieniu just received a letter. Lord Shangshu is fine for the time being."

"real?"

Mrs. Shangshu looked at Qin Lu with bright eyes.

Qin Lu smiled at Mrs. Shangshu and was about to say more, but she didn't expect that Mr. Shangshu had already come back.

As soon as a piece of clothes floated to the courtyard gate, Mrs. Shangshu saw it and ran over quickly. "Husband..."

"Madam, I'm worried." Lord Shangshu seemed to understand his wife, and he came up and hugged her directly.

Qin Lu saw them hugging each other tightly from the side, and she was also moved. She didn't want to disturb them, so she left quietly.

Just when she arrived outside the Shangshu Mansion, she saw a familiar figure. She ran over quickly like a little girl and said, "Tieniu, you are here."

"I'm worried about you, wife, are you okay?"

"fine."

"Then let's go." Qin Tieniu held Qin Lu's hand and walked down the street as if there was no one else around.

When they arrived at the palace, Qin Tieniu suddenly tightened his hold on Qin Lu's hand. This made Qin Lu feel bad, "Did something happen to Tieniu?"

"Um……"

Qin Tieniu did not hide anything, and told everything about the censor and the elder son.

"Damn it, is this prince crazy, or is this the idea of ​​King Yi?"

Qin Lu did not expect the cold-bloodedness of this group of people. This was the first time she had ever heard of people disregarding human life for the so-called status. "Tieniu, is the status of the royal family really that important?"

"It's not important to me, but it may be too important to the prince. Now that Mrs. Xiao has been reinstated as a noble concubine, they will definitely run rampant in the harem in the future. Wife, you must be careful during this time...

…”

"good."

Qin Lu didn't want Qin Tieniu to worry, so no matter how many people he arranged to go to the shop, Qin Lu took them all. Anyway, this would make Qin Tieniu feel at ease, so why not do it for her?

But Qin Tieniu's side was not going well at all. The imperial concubine and the prince made obstacles at every turn, either to frame the veterans who planned to support Qin Tieniu, or to deal with the veterans who had already supported Qin Tieniu.

All these things seemed to be accidents, and they also seemed to have been planned for a long time. It had to be said that the prince still had something in his hands. All the invitations sent by Qin Tieniu were returned.

Some of the senior ministers in the court all shunned.

There are so many things happening in this court, how can those ministers not know about them?

However, when one of the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment declined Qin Tieniu's invitation, he did not forget to tell him the truth.

The two agreed to meet at the Lake Festival in the city.

On this day, almost every household in the capital would go to the city's large and small lakes to play. The minister and Qin Tieniu were mixed in the crowd and would not be discovered by the prince's people.

"I have met the prince."

"Master Wang, I am very grateful that you can come to see me. You don't need to be so polite. What happened? Did the Crown Prince attack you?"

Qin Tieniu went straight to the topic and looked at Mr. Wang with burning eyes.

After hearing Qin Tieniu's words, Lord Wang sighed, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death, but my wife and children are not afraid of death..."

Mr. Wang told Qin Tieniu in detail what happened during this period. The prince had not yet attacked him, but had already started to find someone to threaten him.

There have been a lot of strange things happening in the Wang family these days. Either their youngest son suddenly went missing and was found, or dead things suddenly appeared in the house...

There are too many things like this happening.
