Chapter 229 Chu Qinghe's Time Is Running Out
Everyone sighed and said, "It's said that the Zhou family is blessed. This indirectly saved the lives of the whole family."
"Are the eldest son and his wife okay?"
"What can happen? Both father and son are great generals. Those Jin people are nothing. They are no match for them." The person who spoke looked proud.
When everyone heard this, they realized it was true, and that the second house would be in trouble.
"From the looks of it, the Lu family isn't planning on a big event, right?"
"People who died tragically, even their bodies were burned to ashes, so they naturally had to return to their hometowns for funerals, otherwise their souls wouldn't be able to find their way home."
"The Lu family's ancestral home isn't in the capital. Hanging a white cloth at the door is just to let outsiders know that the family is in mourning."
"Then the Lu family will have to leave Beijing for a while, right?"
The man shook his head again: "It is said that only General Lu went back to attend the funeral."
"Ms. Zhou is seriously ill and definitely can't go back and forth anymore."
"The daughters-in-law and children must stay and serve Zhou."
"General Lu stayed behind to protect his family. We haven't caught the Jin people yet. Who knows if they'll come back?"
"Although the dead are greater, the living are still more important."
"That's right. With the help of the Lu family, General Lu can go back alone."
Thus, the tragedy and funeral of the Lu family passed away amid the people's chatter.
Half a month later, Lu Ziqian received a letter from his father, saying that he had indeed found a skeleton that had been buried for many years next to the land temple.
A famous local coroner was also invited to perform an autopsy. The deceased was a female, about twenty years old, and the cause of death was a broken neck.
And from the wide pelvis of the deceased, it can be judged that the deceased had just given birth.
The autopsy results were exactly the same as what Mrs. Zhu said. It seemed like what she said was true: murder for a baby!
After Lu Jingming buried his biological mother with great honor, he left his hometown and returned to the prefecture and county under his jurisdiction.
After the Queen received the news from Lu Jingming, she immediately ordered people to silence him.
All the adults were killed, and the second wife's children were still young, so they were tattooed with the word "slave" and sent to the mines to work as laborers.
According to the laws of the Daming Kingdom, anyone with a tattoo on their forehead is forbidden to set foot in the capital forever, nor can they take the imperial examinations. They are also not allowed to own land or even engage in business, and can only be slaves.
Although the queen spared their lives, their future fate was destined to be tragic.
Old Mrs. Zhu watched with her own eyes as several of her great-grandchildren had words tattooed on their heads before she breathed her last. She refused to close her eyes after her death, as if she was determined to die with her eyes open.
This is the Queen's revenge on Mrs. Zhu!
Old Mrs. Zhu has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother since she was a child.
If her brother had not rescued her from the fire, she would have been arranged to marry a dead person at the age of twelve.
When she was sixteen years old, in order to find a wife for Lu Shunxin, Mrs. Zhu married her to a bachelor in his forties from the next village.
Fortunately, her brother came back in time, rescued her, and returned the twenty-tael betrothal gift to the other party.
The eldest brother was foolishly filial, but she hated Old Zhu from the bottom of her heart.
It’s just that filial piety has always been the pressure on her. Even though she hates it, she still has to be filial. She is extremely conflicted and in great pain!
Now, after dealing with the affairs of the second house, the queen's depression that had been accumulating in her heart for many years finally dissipated a little.
The only thing that bothers her now is the emperor, who is doting on Concubine Jing more and more outrageously.
She is already this old, so of course she is not jealous, but for her son.
The result of the emperor's favor for Concubine Jing is that Chu Zhongyuan will be able to come out soon.
All that’s missing is a suitable opportunity, such as the emperor’s birthday next month. As his son, Chu Zhongyuan will definitely go to the palace to celebrate.
At that time, he only needs to say a few auspicious words and give a thoughtful gift, and everything will be fine.
The queen understood everything, but she could do nothing to stop it.
Only one person can have a headache!
"Empress, would you like to ask the Princess of Anshun to come over and diagnose you?"
"The little pills she prescribed you last time seemed to be very effective."
The Queen nodded: "Alright, let Weiwei come along. I really like these two children."
"Yes."
When the two men entered the palace gate, a carriage just came out of the palace. The two carriages were facing each other, blocking each other's way.
"County Lady, this is Princess Qinghe's carriage. You need to get off and salute."
"Ah."
Su Yujiao looked unhappy and got off the carriage reluctantly.
Chu Qinghe stuck her head out of the carriage and looked down at the two of them. Her arrogant attitude made people feel uncomfortable.
"So you are the Princess of Anshun County. This princess has something to ask you."
Su Yujiao raised her head and looked at her with hatred, but was stunned when she saw Chu Qinghe's expression.
Her stunned expression was obvious. Chu Qinghe frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Su Yujiao sneered and asked instead of answering, "Princess, what do you want to ask?"
Chu Qinghe was very dissatisfied with her sarcastic attitude, but she couldn't do anything to her.
Not to mention that she is a miracle doctor favored by the emperor, even her brother treats her very well, and now even her mother wants her to marry her brother.
Therefore, Chu Qinghe couldn't do anything to her, but he could say some hurtful words to make her angry.
She just smiled indifferently, reached out to tidy up the hair by her ear, and asked her in a deliberately disgusting tone: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask if that bitch is dead?"
Sure enough, after she asked this question, Su Yujiao's expression changed immediately, and she couldn't even maintain her outward friendly attitude.
The next second, Su Yujiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Mudan is fine. She will live longer than you."
"It seems the princess doesn't have much time left!"
"you……"
Su Yujiao ignored her and walked straight into the palace without even waiting for the carriage, not wanting to continue facing her disgusting face.
"Jiaojiao, don't be angry. Chu Qinghe has always been arrogant. One day she will get her comeuppance."
"Her retribution has come. She really doesn't have much time left."
"At most half a year, Chu Qinghe will definitely die."
Lu Ziwei was shocked and quickly lowered her voice to remind her not to talk nonsense, as this was in the palace.
"I didn't say anything nonsense. She looked very strange. I suspected someone had been poisoning her for a long time."
"She doesn't have any symptoms of discomfort right now, but once the disease breaks out, even a god won't be able to save her."
"Poisoned?"
"She's a princess, who could poison her?"
"Could it be... Mo Lingchen?" Lu Ziwei was so scared after saying this that she subconsciously covered her mouth.
Su Yujiao shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
But she knew in her heart that it must be Mo Lingchen, who was avenging Mudan.
"If someone discovered she was poisoned now, would there be any hope of saving her?"
"It can be saved, but only I can save it."
"And no one will find out except me."
"I won't remind her."
She was not bragging. Chu Qinghe's disease was also difficult to cure in later generations. It required special medicines, and the success rate was not high.
