Chapter 137 How did he die?
"Even if Empress Guo is arrogant, as long as His Majesty is still alive, she has to call the Princess Sister. Madam, don't worry."
Su He had lost his appetite and put down the bowl after taking a few sips of the ginseng soup.
As the fetus is stable, the symptoms of pregnancy are becoming more and more obvious.
Su He knew that if he went out in public, people would inevitably notice something, but she didn't know how the emperor was doing now? Was his health better than before?
In Kunning Palace, Liuguang exaggerated the situation in the Princess's Mansion in front of Queen Guo, making it look even worse.
It really angered Empress Guo to the point.
She casually overturned the fruit plate on the table and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yuan hasn't returned to the capital to receive his reward yet, and Su He doesn't even listen to my call. Won't she have to stand over me and show off her power in the future?"
"That's right! Just having a random nanny around her is already out of order. If the master is added... it would be too disrespectful to you, the queen." Liuguang continued.
Queen Guo glanced away coldly and said nothing for a while.
Only Zhaoyang attended the banquet that night.
It was said that it was the emperor who invited them, but in fact it was Empress Guo's idea, and the emperor was just a decoration at the banquet.
Zhaoyang and Queen Guo had never gotten along well. They were both unhappy at the banquet and spoke sharply and with dissatisfaction.
When Queen Guo mentioned the recent news about Lu Huaihe, she praised him highly. She looked at Zhaoyang and asked, "Sister, it's hard for you to raise such an excellent child. Now that the flood in the southeast has been resolved, the disaster relief money has actually reached the hands of the people, and even the plague has been brought under control. I think Lu Yuan should be leaving for Beijing soon, so that he can reunite with you, right?"
Zhaoyang drank his tea calmly, and did not even take a bite of the food in front of him. After hearing what Queen Guo said, he said distantly, "Your Majesty, you don't know that he went there for a private matter. You also know my son's character. He will not come back without a result."
Empress Guo tightened her grip on the chopsticks and asked with a fake smile, "What private matter is it that requires you to ask for it now? Can't you get it done after returning to the capital?"
Zhaoyang said: "The Queen really guessed it right."
When we return to the capital, there are so many tigers and wolves. What can we accomplish?
Empress Guo turned around and looked at His Majesty, her words becoming more coquettish: "Your Majesty, look at my sister. She is still keeping me in suspense. Is there any private matter that I cannot know?"
The old emperor was already a little tipsy after a few drinks. When he saw Empress Guo asking him about it, he pretended not to know and just laughed it off.
Seeing that everyone was hiding something from her, Queen Guo sneered and stopped asking any more questions.
In the Listening Snow Garden.
Pei Xia heated the fruit in the stove and gave it to Su He. It was cold outside, so it would be better to light the stove indoors.
A housekeeper came outside the courtyard to report that there were guests.
Pei Xia peeled the fruit and said, "Who would rush to our place on such a cold day?"
"It seems to be from the Lu family over there."
As soon as the butler said that, Su He guessed who it was and had someone bring him in.
After a while, the housekeeper led in Liu, who was trembling and hunched over. There were some dewdrops on her white hair, and she looked much more tired.
"It's such a cold day, why doesn't the old lady stay at home and come to Tingxue Garden?" Su He smiled faintly.
The eldest princess is not here today. If she were here, she would definitely call Liu over and tell her a few jokes.
Liu had already been waiting outside the Princess's mansion.
The housekeepers and servants knew that she had some grievances with the eldest princess, so they deliberately ignored her and made her wait a little longer. It was cold, and she felt her legs were soaked in cold, frozen to the bone.
When she entered the room at this moment, the stove was burning brightly and the room was full of fragrance. Only then did Liu breathe a sigh of relief.
"I came here today to look for someone. Zhili is missing! Our Lu family has never had any grudges with anyone. After thinking about it, I can only come to you to ask..."
Pei Xia said, "If someone is missing, go to the government office. Why are you looking for something here? Look at us. Who of us looks like someone who kidnapped someone?"
Qingyun touched his nose silently and took a few steps back guiltily.
Liu saw that a maid was yelling at her, but Su He ignored her. After all, she was the elder. But now she had to find Zhili, but Zhili had no news.
"Ah He, please be considerate of my age. If you know where Zhili is, please let me know! I will find him myself, and I don't need you to leave."
After learning that Lu Zhili was missing, the Guo family sent people to look for him. Since he had an appointment with someone, he would definitely not disappear for no reason.
The only possibility is that he was taken away by someone.
Liu believed that she had no grudges against anyone else in the capital, except for the eldest princess, who had some past with her, and Su He...
After thinking about it, although it seemed a little impossible, Liu still decided to ask.
"I have been staying at home recently and have not met any outsiders." Su He said.
"Is he someone around you? Or someone from the Su family?" Liu asked unwillingly.
Su He raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Old Madam, are you sure that you're leaving the person with me?"
"I did not mean that……"
"If it's not you, why are you holding on to me?"
"You also know that Zhili is not very old. If you really take him away, we can talk it out. If someone else takes him away, my life will be taken away by God..."
Liu beat her chest and stamped her feet, thinking that Lu Yunqing was already dead, Yan Xiu was not around, and Liu Qiuqiu's pair of wicked children were not even her own flesh and blood. The Lu family was once a good family and it was broken up just like that!
Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Pei Xia walked over to Su He and complained unhappily, "What do you think of us here?"
"Madam, let me ask you a question. If you answer truthfully, you will be able to see him. But if you lie, I can't guarantee that you will not be missing an arm or a leg when you see him again."
From the tone of your voice, does that mean you admit it?
Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness, and she knew that it must be Su He who was behind it! Even when Yun Qing kidnapped those two bastards, it was Su He who whispered in her ear, and that's why she lost her life!
She just thought that Su He still had feelings for Yan Xiu, so she was jealous of Liu Qiuqiu. Thinking of this, she felt that her grandson Yan Xiu was more capable and looked down on Su He even more.
"Just tell me what you want to ask."
"How did my husband's father die?"
Su He slowly raised his eyes and looked at her very seriously.
Her voice was not high-pitched, but it contained a sharp question.
The elegant figure who had just walked in from outside the courtyard stopped in his tracks when he heard these words.
When Nanny Tang saw the dazed look on the eldest princess's face, she knew that her son-in-law had never disappeared from her heart.
Lu Zhiping’s death?
Liu narrowed her eyes and suddenly became alert: "You have nothing to do with him, why are you asking about this?"
"He is my husband's father and also my father-in-law. If the old lady wants Lu Zhili to come back safely, the details must not be concealed."
