Su Qingyu looked at him blankly and said nothing.
Just when Lu Yun was wondering if his words had misunderstood her, he saw the person on the bed carefully giving up the position next to him.
"You sleep here."
Lu Yun took advantage of the situation to lie down on the bed, and then hugged Su Qingyu completely in his arms. Only then did he realize that her whole body was almost cold.
He hugged her tighter, trying to transfer his body temperature to her: "Would this be better?"
Su Qingyu nestled in his arms like a kitten and nodded gently: "It seems to be a little better."
Lu Yuncheng tried hard to make his movements look less clumsy, so he put one hand outside the quilt and gently patted her back to coax her to sleep.
"Go to sleep."
Maybe it was because Lu Yuncheng really brought warmth to her, or maybe it was because the breath around her made her feel stable. After a while, Su Qingyu fell into a deep sleep.
But Lu Yuncheng opened his eyes, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Is she so afraid of the cold caused by the medicine given by old man Xuanyuan...
No, he had to find a way to get the antidote as soon as possible...
Lu Yuncheng gently placed a kiss on her forehead, and then closed his eyes.
The marriage between Xichu and Daxia was naturally very grand.
When it was almost dawn, the entire Jiang Mansion was already busy.
When Su Qingyu and Lu Yuncheng arrived at Jiang Mansion, the entire Jiang Mansion was crowded with people who came to congratulate them.
Jiang Shangshu's face was as bright as spring breeze, and he smiled very decently at everyone who came to congratulate him. Su Qingyu admired his mental endurance very much.
Not only did Jiang Shangshu agree with marrying such a time bomb at home, he was also very forbearing. He was worthy of being a minister who could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
"Master Jiang, congratulations!"
Su Qingyu pushed Lu Yun through the gate of Jiang Mansion and asked Qingfeng to send congratulatory gifts.
When Jiang Shangshu saw Lu Yuncheng and Su Qingyu coming in, he quickly asked his men to receive the other guests, while he himself went to receive Prince Ling and his wife.
"I have met Your Highness and Princess."
Jiang Shangshu made a gesture of invitation: "If you don't mind, please come to the study to talk."
Before Lu Yuncheng and his wife came to Jiang Mansion, they had guessed that Jiang Shangshu would not just invite them to a wedding banquet in person.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Su Qingyu pushed Lu Yuncheng and followed Jiang Shangshu. Looking at the back of Jiang Shangshu who was still upright even though he was over fifty years old, she unexpectedly compared him with the exiled Su Yuanrong.
Recalling Su Yuanrong's fat body and those calculating eyes, it was hard for Su Qingyu not to recognize how powerful Jiang Shangshu was today.
For some reason, the scene of beating Su Yuanrong suddenly appeared in Su Qingyu's mind.
Su Yuanrong, who was locked in the prison car at the time, thought she was sent here by someone else, and in desperation almost exposed the name of his accomplice.
She remembered that what Su Yuanrong said at the beginning seemed to be the word "江".
But she was not sure whether it was 'jiang' or 'jiang' or whether there were other words with the same sound.
It's just that it's really hard for her to put the wise Jiang Shangshu and the stupid Su Yuanrong together...
"You two, please come in."
After Su Qingyu and Lu Yun entered the study, they discovered that there was another person in the study.
"My daughter has met His Royal Highness, Prince Ling, and His Majesty the Princess."
Jiang Lanyin saluted gracefully, obviously waiting for them here.
"Miss Jiang, long time no see."
Since he could appear here and Jiang Shangshu didn't have any explanation for it, it means that Jiang Lanyin was called here by Jiang Shangshu.
It is conceivable that Jiang Lanyin's status must not be low in the Jiang family.
After Su Qingyu sat down, she looked at her with a smile: "I almost didn't get into the palace last time. Thanks to Miss Jiang's help, Master Shen and I were able to meet His Majesty smoothly."
Jiang Shangshu seemed surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
Jiang Lanyin smiled and lowered his eyes, his face full of humility: "Grandpa misunderstood!"
When Jiang Lanyin talked about Su Qingyu, her eyes were full of envy: "I happened to be entering the palace that day, and saw Princess Ling and Lord Shen rushing into the palace to meet His Majesty, so I thought of the plague at that time. Naturally, I didn't dare to delay, so I just let them enter the palace conveniently and didn't do anything."
Jiang Shangshu nodded: "That's it."
After a few pleasantries and small talk, Jiang Shangshu finally officially entered today's topic.
"I dare to ask Your Highness, what is the progress of Concubine Hui's assassination of the Queen Mother?"
Lu Yuncheng smiled: "Master Jiang, I'm afraid I asked the wrong person."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"As early as in Cikang Palace, Concubine Hui confessed to the assassination of the Queen Mother. Now all she has to wait for is the final conviction from her father, and the matter is considered closed. So if Mr. Jiang wants to know the progress of the case, he should ask Father, come here to ask this question instead of me."
Jiang Shangshu sighed helplessly: "Your Highness doesn't know something. Your Majesty kept the matter of the Gu worms a secret for the sake of the old face of the old minister, the future of His Highness Prince An, and the stability of the Great Xia Kingdom." In fact, I will only ask Your Highness to find out the source of the Gu."
"Xu couldn't bear that the old minister was kept in the dark, so His Majesty informed the old minister of the matter."
Until then, Su Qingyu suddenly discovered that Emperor Ming actually did not trust anyone. At least for now, it seemed that he trusted Jiang Shangshu.
If he had suspected Jiang Shangshu of what Concubine Hui had done, the situation would not be like this.
"Your Highness, don't get me wrong. I didn't invite you here today to intercede for Concubine Hui. She made a big mistake and she deserves her own fault. Your Majesty is grateful to me for your hard work over the years and for not causing any harm to your family. I am very grateful."
"Since it's not a plea for mercy, then why is Jiang Shangshu doing this?"
Lu Yuncheng began to wonder what Jiang Shangshu's purpose was today.
Jiang Shangshu stood up and bowed deeply in front of Lu Yuncheng: "I hope that His Highness can do his best to investigate the case thoroughly, and never be merciful for any reason!"
"Gu insects are a secret technique in southern Xinjiang. I heard that it has been lost a long time ago, but now it appears in Daxia Kingdom. You can imagine the purpose of the person behind it!"
"In the thorough investigation of this case, if Your Highness needs the help of the veteran, just ask, and the veteran will do his best to help."
Since Concubine Hui had told them that the poison came from King Qi, there was no guarantee that she would not tell her brother, Jiang Shangshu.
In this way, no matter how high-sounding Jiang Shangshu said, Su Qingyu was always more wary of him and could not get rid of the suspicion that he was doing this to pave the way for King An.
And what she could think of, she believed Lu Yuncheng could also think of it.
"Jiang Shangshu is my father's most trusted minister. With your help, the source of the poisonous insects and the person behind it will be revealed soon."
Therefore, in the following time, Jiang Shangshu and Lu Yuncheng had a short discussion about the Gu insects.
During the whole process, neither Su Qingyu nor Jiang Lanyin said a word.
But when the topic was over, Jiang Shangshu looked at her: "Princess Ling has excellent medical skills. The old minister's mother has wanted to see you for a long time. Is it convenient for Princess Ling?"
Su Qingyu was suspicious: "Old madam, do you want to see me?"
Jiang Shangshu seemed a little embarrassed: "My mother has been suffering from headaches for many years, so..."
Oh, so that’s it.
When the patient is in need, Su Qingyu is naturally obliged to do so.
"Then please ask Mr. Jiang to lead the way."
Before Jiang Shangshu left the house, he said kindly to Jiang Lanyin: "Send Prince Ling to the front yard for your grandfather!"
"yes."
