It wasn't Ming Yu's first time in King Qin's Mansion, but it was her first time seeing the exquisite and elegant little courtyard that was prepared for her. It was right next to the main room, and aside from the various little flowers that she liked, there was also a swing and a pavilion. She fell in love with the place at first sight.
"You and Shang 'er can stay here. There will be someone cleaning this place every day," Ming Xi said to Ming Yu.
"Can't I live with you?" Shang'er asked doubtfully.
Ming Xi coughed lightly. "Jin 'er, we've already grown up. We can't stay together anymore. You stay with Ming Yu."
San 'er was naive and didn't know that men and women shouldn't touch each other. He didn't want people to talk about her behind her back.
"Alright." Shang'er nodded, not really understanding. Anyway, she was very happy with Ming Yu.
After lunch, Mingxi went to the Lu family to look for Lu Shiming.
Lu Shiming was very happy that Ming Xi had returned. "I heard that you entered the palace in the morning. I thought that you would stay in the palace today."
"Ming Yu and I have both left the palace. She is at King Qin's Residence and will only come over tomorrow," Ming Xi said with a smile.
"I haven't seen Ming Yu for more than half a year. I heard that she was assassinated in the palace. Fortunately, she was fine. Your maternal grandmother and aunt went to the palace to see her," Lu Shiming said in a low voice. "Have you suffered outside for more than half a year?"
Ming Xi said, "We didn't suffer any hardships, so we lived very well. When we were in the Wasteland City, Teng Ye and the others all treated me as the young master of the Fang Family and didn't dare to do anything to me."
Lu Shiming frowned. "Teng Ye doesn't understand Fang Yunsong at all. With his personality, he would never become a traitor."
"Grandfather knows Fang Yunsong?" Ming Xi asked.
"I used to study in the Fang Clan's academy. Fang Yunsong could be considered my teacher." Lu Shiming said. Although he had not been in the Fang Family Academy for a long time, a teacher for a day was a father for a lifetime. The fact that Fang Yunsong had once been his teacher could not be changed.
Ming Xi said softly, "Grandfather, there is something I want to tell you."
Seeing Ming Xi's stern tone, Lu Shiming could not help but ask, "What's the matter?"
"When I caught Teng Ye, he said that grandfather was their accomplice." Ming Xi said, "I was afraid that he would do something to frame you."
"Accomplices?" Lu Shiming was stunned for a moment. "I have never been friends with Teng Ye. We don't even talk to each other normally. How dare you slander me?"
Ming Xi said, "His Majesty also knows about this matter. However, he should be clear that Teng Ye is spouting nonsense, so he did not believe it."
Lu Shiming raised his head to look at his grandson. If it was really just Teng Ye slandering him, then Ming Xi wouldn't have specially come to talk to him about this matter. "What did you find? Continue."
"On the way back to the capital, I sent people to investigate the people that Teng Ye had previously interacted with in the capital. One of them had the surname Lu, Lu Shizhou. He is now the prefect of Shenzhou Prefecture. He has already been captured by the hidden guards and is being escorted to the capital. This person … did he ever ask grandfather to do anything for him?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice.
Lu Shizhou? Lu Shiming's expression changed. Of course, he knew this person. He was the nephew of a branch of the Lu family. Last year, when he came to the capital to report on his work, he had come to the Lu family to ask for an exception.
"He wanted to open a river trade in Shenzhou Prefecture. At that time, there were people in the court who opposed it. He came to me for help, saying that opening a river trade was for the sake of the people of Shenzhou Prefecture. I saw that he was wholeheartedly working for the welfare of the people, so I said a few more words in front of the emperor. Could it be … related to this?" Lu Shiming asked in surprise.
"If Teng Ye wanted to transport weapons, he couldn't use the sea trade in Tianjin City. He could only use the river trade in Shenzhou Prefecture. Also … I found out that Lu Shizhou was colluding with the salt peddlers. All of the silver fell into Teng Ye's hands." Ming Xi said. This was discovered not long ago, so it shouldn't have been delivered to Sixth Uncle's hands.
"What?" Lu Shiming was shocked. "That bastard is actually … actually so rebellious!"
Ming Xi said, "Apart from putting in a good word for Lu Shizhou in front of the emperor, did you do anything else?"
Lu Shiming shook his head. "Let me think again. Ever since I put in a good word for him in front of the emperor, the colleagues in the court all treat him as my nephew. They will give him face for everything. I don't know what else he has done."
"Grandfather is loyal and devoted to the emperor. The emperor won't believe Teng Ye just because of this." Ming Xi said. He came to remind Lu Shiming because he was worried that he would be used.
"I will immediately go to the palace to ask for forgiveness." Lu Shiming said. "There is no need for the emperor to ask me about this. I will tell the emperor everything in detail."
Ming Xi didn't stop Lu Shiming. After all, Murong Ke was only his Sixth Uncle. He didn't know what Sixth Uncle would think of the Lu family. If he really believed that Lu Shizhou and Lu Shiming were inextricably linked, then he could only think of another way.
"Go find your grandmother first. I will go to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor." Lu Shiming said to Ming Xi.
"Okay." Ming Xi nodded lightly. After Lu Shiming left, he went to the backyard to find Pei shi.
When Pei shi heard that Ming Xi had returned, she was waiting anxiously in the room. She had wanted to go to the study to find her precious grandson several times.
"Grandmother." Ming Xi called out before he even entered the room.
"My Ming Xi …" Pei Shi walked out and pulled Ming Xi into her arms. "Let me see if you've suffered. Look at how much darker you've become, and how much thinner you've become. Why did you run out like this? Your parents are really at ease."
Ming Xi smiled as he listened to Pei shi's grumbling. Her heart ached as she hugged him. He smiled and said, "Grandmother, I'm not thinner. I've grown taller. Look, I'm as tall as you."
Only then did Pei shi realize that her grandson, who had been shorter than her before he left, was now almost as tall as her. "That's still thinner. You must have suffered outside."
"Grandmother, I've brought Ming Yu out of the palace. She's staying at Prince Qin's Estate today. I'll bring her to visit you tomorrow." Ming Xi tactfully diverted her attention.
"I haven't seen Ming Yu in a long time. The emperor has kept her in the palace. I don't know if such a young child has suffered in the palace." Pei shi's eyes reddened. Ever since those beauties entered the palace, there wasn't a day when she wasn't worried about Ming Yu. Ming Yu was just a princess. She wasn't even the emperor's biological daughter. If those concubines were pregnant, would Ming Yu still have her current status?
Su Xiaoxiao walked to Pei shi's side. "Mother, didn't Ming Yu come tomorrow? You'll see her soon. "
"Little aunt." Ming Xi bowed to Su Xiaoxiao.
"Ming Xi, come in and sit. Have you had lunch?" Su Xiaoxiao held Pei shi's hand and let Ming Xi follow her into the room.
Pei shi immediately said, "Yes, I had people prepare snacks. Eat more."
Ming Xi smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat."
