Lu Yuncheng smiled gently: "It's nothing."
"Are you keeping Li as a commoner for the sake of Jiang Ming's whereabouts?"
The two came to the flower hall side by side. Su Qingyu drank a whole cup of tea in one breath, obviously very thirsty.
But her inadvertent move made Lu Yuncheng feel heartbroken.
If it wasn't for him, why would she do this?
Su Qingyu was completely unaware of Lu Yuncheng's thoughts: "People like Li may not know the whereabouts of Jiang Ming."
Recalling the conversation she accidentally overheard between Li Shu and Prince Qi, she was almost certain that Li Shu was unaware of Jiang Ming's whereabouts.
"Common Li will enter the palace not for King Qi, but for Jiang Ming."
"Her thoughts about Jiang Ming are not simple. If she knew Jiang Ming's whereabouts, how could she wait in the cold palace so helplessly?"
"I kept her because I thought she might be hiding something from us."
Otherwise, she would never have waited so calmly after Jiang Ming disappeared.
In Su Qingyu's view, this attitude was an admission that Jiang Ming would definitely come back.
"After the spring hunting is over, I will find a suitable opportunity to see her."
"If you really can't ask anything, then there's no need to keep it."
Speaking of Spring Hunting, Lu Yuncheng only looked away from Su Qingyu's face, and then spoke with a hint of worry.
"Qingyu, can you stay closer to me during spring hunting?"
Su Qingyu stared blankly at the man opposite her. Seeing that his brows and eyes were full of care and concern for her, she couldn't say any words of rejection.
He was just worried that if Chun Lie was silent, someone would inevitably shoot someone in the dark, and he was worried that she would be hurt as a result...
"Okay, you make the arrangements."
Seeing Su Qingyu's agreement, Lu Yuncheng finally felt happy and relieved in his eyes.
The two of them went over the recent events roughly in a nonchalant manner, guarding against any omissions.
The originally quiet and warm scene made Qingfeng scratch her head and become anxious.
He really didn't understand what was happening to his master!
He obviously protected the Hua family for the sake of the princess, and secretly withstood several dangers for the Hua family father and son. How come he didn't even mention a word about it in front of the princess?
He obviously deployed all his power in the palace to protect the princess, so why didn't he say anything about it?
How could the princess know that he had done so many things for her if he didn't tell her!
Seeing that the conversation between the two was coming to an end, and his master still had no intention of saying anything, Qingfeng couldn't help but took a half step forward.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Liu Yun immediately grabbed him and shook his head towards him.
If they, as subordinates, interfere too much in matters between masters and masters, they will be breaking the rules.
Until he left the Su Mansion, Lu Yuncheng never mentioned the things he did behind the scenes.
Before getting on the horse, he glanced sideways at Qingfeng.
"Go and collect your punishment yourself."
"If you have this kind of thought again in the future, you don't need to follow me anymore."
Qingfeng was frightened and immediately restrained all her thoughts: "I understand!"
It wasn't until the master of the house rode away that Liu Yun got on his horse.
He looked at Qingfeng with hatred and helplessness, and said helplessly: "Although our master has silently done many things for the princess behind his back, why is the princess not the same?"
"Compared to those made by the master, the sacrifice made by the princess is greater."
In order for her master to successfully obtain this imperial edict to thoroughly investigate the eldest prince's case, she offended his majesty severely.
I don’t know how your Majesty will be embarrassed in the future...
Qingfeng's eyes darkened, and she had to admit that Liu Yun was right.
"I see."
He understood the sacrifice of the princess, and also understood what position his master put the princess in.
From now on, he will definitely follow his master's wishes and protect the safety of the princess in times of crisis.
This is what he should do.
After thinking about this, Qingfeng and Liuyun immediately got on their horses and rode to catch up with their master.
The sunshine and breeze in spring are always just right, making people sleepy and comfortable.
The royal hunting ground is only a day's journey from the capital, but because Emperor Ming is traveling with him, the speed on the road will inevitably be a little slower.
While resting, Su Qingyu saw a woman in palace attire and bright makeup leaning against the Emperor Ming, smiling in a romantic and scornful manner beside Long Chu.
"who is she?"
Mingyue followed her girl's eyes and saw the concubine.
"She is a strange concubine, a palace concubine who has just been promoted in the past few days."
Seeing that Su Qingyu was disapproving, Mingyue couldn't help but explain to her:
"Strange concubine, strange concubine."
Su Qingyu finally looked back at Mingyue curiously: "Strange 'strange'?"
What kind of ban is this?
Mingyue coughed slightly to cover up her embarrassment.
"I heard that she used strange methods when serving His Majesty. His Majesty was so pleased that he gave her a title and a promotion before the service was over."
Su Qingyu was surprised and inevitably took a second look at the strange concubine.
Among the women in the harem, there are many outstanding ones. The appearance of the strange concubine is really not outstanding in the harem.
The makeup also seems to be much more colorful than that of ordinary palace concubines. Especially the way the whole body behaves and is artificial...
The more Su Qingyu looked at it, the more something seemed wrong.
"Why do I look at this strange concubine who doesn't look like a woman from a wealthy family? Instead, she looks more like someone who came from a dusty place."
Mingyue nodded: "The girl guessed right, this strange concubine was not born into a wealthy family."
Needless to say, Su Qingyu could understand the rest of the words.
After a long while, Su Qingyu sighed: "Our Majesty is playing so well."
I don't know how many times he can withstand such torture at his age.
Thinking of this, Su Qingyu realized that she had never checked the pulse of an old man like Emperor Ming.
However, judging from his expression, he must not be in good health.
If she had time another day, she would have to talk to Shen Huaide.
In Su Qingyu's eyes, doctors like Shen Huaide have real abilities. She has never underestimated any doctor here just because she has unique space and medical skills from the future.
"My maid, I have met the princess."
Su Qingyu pulled back from her thoughts and looked curiously at Jiang Lanyin who came to find her.
"Is Miss Jiang feeling unwell?"
Jiang Lan was stunned when Su Qingyu asked: "Why does the princess ask that?"
Su Qingyu said openly: "If I remember correctly, Miss Jiang and I are at loggerheads. Apart from men, the only thing that can make Miss Jiang find me is my medical skills."
"Miss Jiang should still remember that I said that I have no interest in competing with you for a man. So you came to me, isn't it because you are not feeling well?"
Because of Jiang Lan's pride and psychological construction along the way, after facing Su Qingyu's call, her expression turned ugly.
"What the princess relies on now is nothing more than His Highness Prince Ling's feelings for you."
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Lan did not hide the resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.
"If it were not for His Highness Prince Ling's favor and His Highness's protection, I would like to see if you could still be as arrogant as you are today!"
