Su Mingyu snapped her fingers. "You guessed right."
"I've been thinking like this." Su Mingyu motioned Leng Ziyue to come closer and whispered, "Prime Minister Mu must know a secret between Concubine Ning and King Yu."
"After the princess consort learned that Prime Minister Mu knew about this, she was greatly shocked. But she chose to hide it from King Yu. For Concubine Ning, who is extremely proud and dotes on King Yu like a treasure, the only secret she would hide is probably something that could harm King Yu."
Leng Ziyue frowned. "What do you think this secret could be?"
Su Mingyu squinted her eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "I guess it might be related to something King Yu is currently doing. But I'm not all - knowing. So, this matter is up to you to investigate."
"Me?" Leng Ziyue pointed at himself. "No way. I still need to protect Concubine Chen."
"I mean for you to find a way to get someone in Concubine Ning's palace to inquire. Maybe a maid heard some clues." Su Mingyu rolled her eyes so hard it seemed they'd reach the sky.
Since Su Mingyu had said so, Leng Ziyue could only nod. "I'll give it a try. I'll contact you if I get any news."
Watching Leng Ziyue's departing back, Su Mingyu frowned. "The current prime minister... actually has something to do with Concubine Ning?"
Su Mingyu turned to look at Gu Ruobai. "They all say Concubine Ning participated in the draft as a concubine - born daughter back then, but no one knows from which mansion."
The Ning family was the most prominent family in the capital, but it seemed that which branch of the Ning family she was from had been deliberately blurred.
Hearing Su Mingyu's doubts, Gu Ruobai pursed his lips. "Let's investigate. She has hidden her family background so well. She must be much more formidable than Yan Shiqi."
Su Mingyu of course knew this. "Let Mu Yi check it out first."
"Don't use Mu Yi." Su Mingyu told Gu Ruobai that King Yu might know martial arts. "King Yu already knows about Mu Yi. So, use Qing Feng for this matter. His light - body skill is no less than Mu Yi's."
Hearing what Su Mingyu said, Gu Ruobai nodded. "In that case, I'll have someone call Qing Feng over."
"However," Gu Ruobai suddenly frowned. "I know you want Qing Feng to come so that Zhi Zhu can have more time to get in touch with him and develop feelings. But you have to think this through. This is to investigate the current prime minister."
Su Mingyu knew he was worried that getting Qing Feng involved would drag Ye Weiguang into trouble.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Let's see if Qing Feng is willing to come. If not, I can do it myself."
"You've already made up your mind, haven't you? Are you itching to climb over walls? Want to be a nocturnal prowler?" Gu Ruobai's voice grew deeper. Su Mingyu embarrassedly scratched her nose. "I didn't..."
Gu Ruobai pulled her onto his lap and looked down at Su Mingyu. Just as their heads were getting closer, a clear female voice interrupted them. "What are you two doing?"
Even without looking at the person's face, Su Mingyu could tell how angry Wu Yurou was from the anger in her tone.
Su Mingyu was about to get up from Gu Ruobai's lap, but unexpectedly, Gu Ruobai pressed the back of her head and kissed her on the lips.
Wu Yurou stared in shock with wide - open eyes. Su Mingyu was also surprised. She didn't expect Gu Ruobai to do this.
But out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Wu Yurou. Su Mingyu squinted her eyes, put her arm around Gu Ruobai's shoulder, and deepened the kiss.
"You! You two!" Wu Yurou stamped her feet in anger. "You're going too far! How could you do such a thing in front of me! Have you no shame!"
Hearing Wu Yurou's trembling and angry voice, Gu Ruobai finally let go of Su Mingyu. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Princess Furong, I think I've said before that no one can enter this tea garden without my permission."
Wu Yurou was so angry that her words were slurred. "You! You two shameless people!"
Su Mingyu was sitting on Gu Ruobai's lap. She turned to look at Wu Yurou with a hint of provocation in her eyes. "We're a properly - married couple, and we're in our own yard. How is this shameless? But it seems you, princess, have such a strange hobby?"
"You two are going too far!" Wu Yurou stamped her feet angrily and ran out.
Watching her departing back, Su Mingyu shrugged helplessly at Gu Ruobai. They looked at each other and both shook their heads helplessly.
Wu Yurou was staying in the Prince Ruixian's Mansion. Every day, different people came to visit. Su Mingyu was very annoyed. In the end, she simply closed the mansion gate and refused to see anyone.
Finally, there was a moment of peace. Su Mingyu and Gu Ruobai were in the tea garden when Mu Yi walked in. As soon as he saw Su Mingyu, his face changed. "Princess consort..."
Su Mingyu didn't even lift her eyebrows. "Not seeing anyone."
"But..." Mu Yi lowered his head. "The visitors are King Yu and Su Yueyue."
Su Mingyu frowned. "Su Yueyue?"
Looking at Gu Ruobai, Su Mingyu pinched the bridge of her nose. "Your younger brother is really heartless! He actually uses the pregnant Su Yueyue as a stepping - stone."
Gu Ruobai squinted his eyes. "You can't say that. He is him, and I am me."
Su Mingyu sighed silently. She couldn't refuse to see others, but she couldn't let the pregnant Su Yueyue wait outside.
Everyone in the capital knew that the baby in Su Yueyue's belly was King Yu's first child. If anything went wrong, the Prince Ruixian's Mansion would be in big trouble.
So, helplessly, Su Mingyu had to open the back door for them.
Su Yueyue stroked her big belly and immediately saw Wu Yurou sitting next to Su Mingyu.
She lowered her eyes. "They all say Princess Furong is as beautiful as a celestial being. Now that I see her, she really has extraordinary grace."
Wu Yurou was naturally unruly and ignored Su Yueyue's polite remarks.
Seeing that Wu Yurou ignored her, Su Yueyue felt a bit embarrassed.
Noticing this, Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Sister has been well - nourished these days and looks even fairer. Hurry, prepare a seat for sister."
