Chapter 1033 Are You Provocative?
There was silence all around, and the needles could be heard. The long silence suddenly made everyone's hearts tremble, and the feeling of uneasiness spread throughout their bodies.
In the dead silence, Lu Mingyu suddenly spoke and said leisurely: "Madam Liu, I wonder if Mr. Liu has ever told you about Bai Yichu's death."
Everyone was stunned, and even Mrs. Liu was confused.
Lu Mingyu sneered at the corner of his lips: "Bai Yichu, the pearl in the palm of Dingbei Hou Mansion, was killed by me by me because of his collusion with Northern Qi. Tens of thousands of soldiers can testify."
Speaking of this, Lu Mingyu stopped talking.
Mrs. Bai continued, "Empress, why do you say such misunderstandings? Before Bai Yichu died, the last emperor gave his marriage to His Highness as his concubine. If you say this, those who don't know would think you were jealous and killed Bai Yichu, which is not good for your reputation."
Lu Mingyu smiled slightly: "Thank you, Aunt Qiong, reminded me that I was wrong. It would be really misunderstood to mention this past event now."
Lu Yi said: "Empress, Mrs. Bai is very saying. If you do this, don't say it in the future. If you are rumored to be a jealous woman, wouldn't you die unjustly?"
Lu Mingyu agreed and said, "It's true. I have nothing to be jealous of. I am deeply loved by my husband and gave birth to two sons and one daughter for him. My elder brother is Duke Yiyongyue, my cousin is King Xingyang, who is the bravest army leader, and I have a prime minister as my brother-in-law."
"These are enough to ensure my status is as stable as a mountain, so that I don't have to make any effort to consolidate my position, nor are they more likely to take a concubine for him to tie him up."
Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little wonderful, Lu Mingyu chuckled and said, "Blame me, saying these things in front of you is like I'm showing off. There is no need to say these obvious things."
After saying these words, Lu Mingyu looked at Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liu, you won't be scared by me, are you?"
Mrs. Liu is not a fool. She knows Lu Mingyu's attitude, which makes her a little embarrassed. He has to apologize after hearing this: "The empress is so serious. I am not scared by the empress. It is me who made the empress misunderstand it. It is me who made the empress misunderstand it. I am my fault."
Lu Mingyu shook his sleeves and said, "Don't say that, I am indeed a murderer without blinking. Other people's ladies have a pair of delicate jade fingers used to play the piano, chess, write and paint. My hands, holding swords and killing enemies, are already covered in blood, so it's not surprising that they will scare you."
Everyone was embarrassed and dared not speak.
Liu Peiyun's sister was not favored when she entered the palace. When she went to the palace to visit Concubine Xian, she heard Concubine Xian say that Your Majesty has something to do, and the person you liked was in Taishu's mansion.
Liu Peiyun originally felt that his sister's predicament was mostly related to Lu Mingyu, so he held a little hatred for Lu Mingyu.
But there is a difference between high and low. She, a minister, was like an ant in front of Lu Mingyu. It was a blessing to see Tai Shu Concubine, and even argued with Tai Shu Concubine.
However, seeing that his mother had lost such a big face, Liu Peiyun couldn't help but speak.
She smiled meaningfully and said, "Empress is so humorous. I am stupid. I thought Empress was hitting everyone and not having bad thoughts. You will not allow Your Highness to accept a concubine."
Lu Mingyu's smile disappeared quietly. She looked at Liu Peiyun and said seriously: "I do have this intention. Is Miss Liu really stupid enough to understand, or is she deliberately provoking me?"
Mrs. Liu knelt down and begged for mercy: "Empress, the little girl is ignorant, I beg the Empress to forgive her fault."
When everyone saw Lu Mingyu being so angry, they didn't dare to speak. They sat on the chair tremblingly and lowered their heads.
Mrs. Liu kept pulling Liu Peiyun's clothes and signaling her to kneel down and apologize, but she was stubborn and unwilling to kneel down.
It happened that Princess Zhenli and Xiao Qian came hand in hand. Seeing the atmosphere was stagnant, Princess Zhenli said in confusion: "Empress, what's wrong?"
Lu Mingyu did not speak, Lu Yi replied: "Miss Liu has made the Empress unhappy."
Mrs. Liu kept accusing him: "I would like to forgive my daughter. I wish to bear it on behalf of my daughter."
Liu Peiyun naturally knew that he should bow his head and admit his mistake at this time. After all, under power, her father's face could not be used in front of the crown prince's official concubine.
But Concubine Tai was clearly using her to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Isn’t her kneeling like Concubine Tai’s wish?
She is also the daughter of a general, and she just wants to withstand this situation.
But what happened next made her stunned.
Princess Zhenli walked up to her, stared at her, and said two words lightly: "Kneel down!"
Seeing that she had no movement for a while, Lu Yi winked at Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Liu, my sister is not the kind of person who is unyielding. Since Miss Liu knows that she cannot correct her mistakes, please ask Mrs. Liu to take her back!"
"Sister is still weak, so please take care of Miss Liu and don't let her get angry with my sister anymore."
Mrs. Liu was extremely embarrassed and embarrassed, but her daughter refused to admit her mistake, so she couldn't step down.
After Xiao Qian said this, she also pushed Liu Peiyun into a dilemma. Whether she surrendered or left, she was disrespectful to Concubine Tai.
After all, her identity could not be allowed to let her go. Under Princess Zhenli's forced gaze, she slowly knelt down and said, "My daughter knows her mistake, please ask the concubine Tai Shu to sue her."
At this moment, Princess Zhenli and Xiao Qian's faces were slightly calmer.
Lu Mingyu's expression had not changed, calm and serious. She shook the dust that did not exist on her sleeves and said, "I think everyone is concerned about Your Highness's appointment of concubines. Today, my attitude is here. Whoever Your Highness likes and whom he wants to accept is his freedom, and I will not interfere."
"If you have the ability, then just ask Your Highness to talk to you. If Your Highness wants to accept anyone, I will never say a word, but please don't put your ideas on me. I will never put women around him just to please my husband."
"I'm tired, you all retreat!"
After saying that, Lu Mingyu never looked at everyone again.
The women retreated one after another. When they arrived at the door, Mrs. Liu was already scared and sweated. She had some interaction with Mrs. Li, and hurriedly asked: "Sister, have you caused trouble?"
Mrs. Li glanced at Yuan Yuan, and Yuan immediately walked up to talk to Liu Peiyun, leaving enough space for Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Li lowered her voice and said, "Good sister, you're scared me to death. If I knew what you were thinking, I would definitely stop you."
"The Empress has already said it very clearly. She used Bai Yichu as an example, which means she was knocking. She was telling everyone that she must not be the best at the Grand Uncle, otherwise she would not be merciful."
