Chapter 185 The most critical issue

It was Lu Yunjue who personally welcomed them into the mansion.

Even if Jiang Yao hated him so much, how could she bring herself to kill her nephew who looked like her sister?

"After many years, I finally saw my sister, but before I could even say anything, a group of unidentified men in black suddenly attacked!"

Jiang Yao's voice was already choking with sobs as she spoke up. "My poor sister, she wanted to stand in front of me, but how could I let her die?"

Mu Qing and Lu Yunjue joined forces to resist, protecting them in the middle, but the other side was well prepared. Although they managed to end up in a draw, Jiang Yao was still seriously injured due to negligence.

She has always been protecting her sister.

Among the corpses of the men in black, she lay dying in Mu Qing's arms and took out the dagger with Yun Jueyu in her arms: "Mu'er, I'm not your biological mother..."

She wanted to tell Mu Qing his identity, but before she could finish her words, she fainted!

Hu Xin'er suddenly realized: "No wonder Mu Qing said you were dead!"

The eldest princess's face was filled with distrust: "What about Lu Yunjue? Didn't he kill all the men in black? Why are you three alive, but he is dead?"

Jiang Yao's gaze fell on a certain point in the air, and tears finally rolled down her cheeks. "Before I passed out, I saw a man in black crawling up with a sword in hand!"

"You mean, the man in black killed Lu Yunjue?" Hu Xin'er didn't completely believe this woman. "Then why was he the only one who died?"

"I don't know. I know you suspect me, but how could I kill my own nephew?" Jiang Yao said in a despair. "When I woke up, I was already in this stone chamber, and Mu Qing was lying beside me, his body covered in sword wounds. His face was unrecognizable, a horrible sight."

Taoist Master Yiqing said slowly, "Ladies, now that the truth is out, you should let me go, right?"

"You saved them?" The princess walked over and grabbed his beard. "Old Taoist, did you and this woman conspire to kill Lu Yunjue? Where did you hide Lu Yunjue?"

"That's not the eldest princess's destined love. Asking more questions will only cause trouble." Taoist Yiqing said mysteriously.

But the princess didn't believe them at all: "Don't try to change the subject. I saw it clearly that day. The man in black is in cahoots with you!"

How could the brilliant Lu Yunjue die so easily?

"It was indeed the Taoist priest who saved us." Jiang Yao said.

Moreover, Taoist Yiqing also told them a tragic news, that is, Lu Yunjue was ambushed by a man in black and was dead!

When he arrived, Lu Yunjue was protecting Mu Qing, his body covered in blood and holes, and he could not be saved.

The other party did not seem to be targeting her and Madam Lu, so Madam Lu was able to save her life, but she must have seen Lu Yunjue being killed, so she fainted on the spot.

Two twin brothers hadn't seen each other for 18 years, but they passed away on the day they met again.

Lu Yunjue must have guessed something, so he would rather die than protect his own brother.

The eldest princess kept asking for details, but no matter what she asked, Taoist Yiqing looked at her with pity and answered fluently.

She had to believe that the man who had once shocked the hearts of all the girls in the capital had disappeared from this world forever.

"So, you changed Mu Qing's face?" Hu Xin'er didn't have any deep feelings for Lu Yunjue. She just sighed for a while and then asked.

Jiang Yao nodded. "That's what he owed Juer. My sister has already lost a child, so why not give her a beautiful and talented one?"

Just from this one sentence, we can tell that although she appears normal on the surface, her brain circuits are more distorted than those of normal people.

Jiang Yao took the opportunity to ask Taoist Master Yiqing for help in giving Mu Qing plastic surgery.

Mu Qing seemed to have hit his head and had no memory when he woke up.

Jiang Yao smiled gently at this point. "Perhaps this is God's arrangement. I told him he was Lu Yunjue, and then brought him to my sister."

"Wait, doesn't Lu Yunjue have a mole on his wrist?" Hu Xin'er noticed something suspicious. "How could Madam Lu not recognize her own son?"

The candlelight shone on Jiang Yao's still-fresh tears, forming a stark contrast to her gentle smile. "Silly girl, if I can change my face, I can certainly fake a mole! But to make it look more realistic, I planted a poisonous insect in Mu'er's body."

Hu Xin'er's ominous premonition gradually grew: "Chun Feng Zui is indeed your property!"

"Of course." Jiang Yao said with hatred on her face, "I want to find the person behind the assassin and take revenge! Both for my sister and for myself!"

The princess suddenly felt cold all over: "Xin'er, don't believe her, she is a lunatic! She planted the Gu on Mu Qing and also kidnapped so many people--"

"Don't judge me with so-called morality!" Jiang Yao said sternly, "I trained secret sentries and stationed them in the capital, while secretly supporting my sister and my Mu'er. My sister's illness is getting better day by day, and Mu'er has also revealed his own talents. He even caught the emperor's eye—"

But just when she thought things would get better.

Just a year ago, Mu Qing went out and disappeared.

He couldn't even find her, and thought Mu Qing was dead, so he lived in seclusion in despair.

But a few days ago, Mu Qing actually found her...

"Wait," the princess didn't understand. "Wasn't Mu Qing captured? How could he find you on his own initiative?"

"So he wasn't abducted that day, but went out to look for you on his own initiative?" Hu Xin'er probably guessed. "After he saw you, his two lost memories suddenly returned at the same time. He couldn't handle the shock and fainted, right?"

Jiang Yao looked at her with a gentle gaze. "You are indeed very smart and worthy of my Mu'er. How did you two meet?"

There was nothing to hide about these things. Although there were still some suspicious points about Jiang Yao, Hu Xin'er still said openly, "I found him in the mountains. At that time, he was seriously injured and had lost his memory."

"So he suffered a second amnesia due to the injury, so even his memory is confused." Jiang Yao deduced.

Hu Xin'er added, "Because of this, your memory of handing him the dagger when you died and your memory of having plastic surgery at the Taoist temple have all been distorted. Furthermore, he sometimes thinks he's Lu Yunjue, and sometimes thinks he's Mu Qing!"

Jiang Yao smiled approvingly, "So you don't have to worry. I didn't do anything to him. His pain now is just the process of integrating his memories."

Many doubts were resolved, and Hu Xiner suddenly realized, but there was still one question lingering in her mind, which was also the most critical question.

She asked solemnly, "You've been investigating for so many years, have you ever found out who is targeting the Lu family?"
