Chapter 314 He is the Lucky Person

Yuan Wanru laughed out loud, "It's okay. You'll probably be very busy after returning to Beijing. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Although she wanted to play a prank on him, she was also doing it to be on the safe side.

The wound is close to the heart, and she really needs to take good care of it. Life is so long, and she wants to go further with him.

Lu Jiangnian hugged her and pinched her nose helplessly, "You really don't feel sorry for me at all."

Yuan Wanru raised her eyelids and looked at him coquettishly: "Oh, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Lu Jiangnian laughed and pecked her slightly raised lips: "Nonsense, I'm just too satisfied with you, so I'm greedy, but you want to torture me."

Although it was a complaint, the tone was full of doting.

Yuan Wanru just smiled and said nothing.

Lu Jiangnian held her soft body in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

She just said that she was lucky.

But he felt that he was the luckiest one because she came into his life.

He never expected that one day he would tie all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness to another person.

But he was willing to do it.

-

Capital city, the second prince’s residence.

It was late at night and the second prince was holding a cup of tea, but he did not move for a long time.

After a long time, he put down his tea and picked up the book at hand, but he couldn't read a single word.

After enduring for a while, he put the book down in annoyance, picked up a piece of dessert, took a bite, and found it very sweet. He immediately got angry: "What kind of rubbish is this? Send it here. Who made this dessert? Give him ten lashes immediately to teach him a lesson. If he dares to fool his master like this again, the punishment will be doubled."

The Second Prince's wife was taking off the red hairpin on her head with the help of her maid.

When the maid heard the Second Prince's angry rebuke, she trembled with fear and pulled the Second Prince's wife's hair, which touched her scalp and caused her great pain.

She immediately frowned and wanted to scold him, but she held back.

Just this look made the maid's legs go weak.

The Second Prince's wife suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Back off."

The maid trembled and left the room. The Second Prince's wife then walked behind the Second Prince, gently pinched his shoulders, and said softly, "What's wrong with you, Your Highness?"

The second prince put his hand on hers and pulled her to sit down: "You don't need to do these things, you'll get tired."

The Second Prince's wife always feels particularly good after hearing such thoughtful words.

She smiled even more tenderly: "What is it that bothers you so much?"

To be honest, the Second Prince's wife was not particularly good-looking, but the Second Prince did have some genuine feelings for her.

Perhaps it was because this woman had always supported him unconditionally since she married him, and no matter what unorthodox, dark and sinister plots he had made, she had never changed her mind.

The second prince was somewhat touched.

Therefore, this couple can be said to be quite close to each other, and there are not many secrets between them.

"You also know that I sent people to kill Lu Jiangnian. Calculating the time, there should be news coming back."

"But, until today, there has been no movement. Could it be that those people failed and were strangled to death by Lu Jiangnian?"

When this was mentioned, the Second Prince's gaze gradually turned cold.

The Second Prince's wife pondered for a moment, and naturally would not pour cold water on the Second Prince.

"There are many variables on the road, and many things are unexpected."

"But the people sent out by His Highness are all elite. I think no matter how powerful the people around Lu Jiangnian are, they can't escape."

unless……

Like them, Lu Jiangnian also trained a lot of people privately.

No matter how powerful the guards of the noble families are, they have their limits.

The Second Prince had spent so much effort and money to raise such a group of people. She was absolutely confident that she could take Lu Jiangnian's life.

However, there is always a chance of something happening. If they secretly raise assassins, wouldn’t others be secretly training others as well?

The second prince actually thought of this as well.

However, when the final news had not yet arrived, he still held on to hope.

The Second Prince's wife took his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Maybe the news will arrive tomorrow."

"Maybe. It's late at night. Let's get settled."

There was no point in being anxious, he could only hope to get good news.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Just as they were about to turn off the lights, someone came.

"Your Highness, there is a letter from the south."

The couple put on their coats again and hurriedly called someone in.

The second prince received the secret letter and read ten lines at a glance. Actually, there were not ten lines, just a short sentence: "Lu Jiangnian was seriously injured and is now close to the capital. It is expected that he will be able to enter the capital in three days."

Lu Jiangnian is still alive, which means that his people have failed.

The second prince swept away everything on the table.

"Father praised him for his loyalty and integrity. I really should let Father take a look at the person he favors and see what kind of person he is!"

"Lu Jiangnian definitely hid a group of people."

But what good is it to know the truth? He has no evidence.

The second prince now regrets very much. He had always wanted to win over Lu Jiangnian and tried to control him, but he missed many good opportunities to get rid of him.

Unexpectedly, all the plans against Lu Jiangnian came to nothing.

Although they haven't fallen out with each other openly, they have long been enemies behind the scenes.

"The prince definitely knows about this. Lu Jiangnian has such a good relationship with the prince, there is no way he wouldn't tell the prince."

These days, they have been observing the prince's reaction.

The Eastern Palace was calm and peaceful, with no changes at all. They were not sure how much the prince knew.

Since Lu Jiangnian has someone in his hands whose strength is unfathomable, he will never let the prince be kept in the dark.

"I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning and ask mother to take action immediately."

They have already reached an alliance with Madam Zhaohua. It seems that they need to speed up their actions. They must take advantage of the time when Lu Jiangnian has not returned to Beijing to defeat the Crown Prince.

-

In the dead of night in the Eastern Palace, candles were still lit in the prince's study.

In his hands, he held two pieces of paper with many names densely written on them.

The prince looked at it carefully for a long time before he sneered, "I never thought that there would be so many suspicious people around me."

He raised his eyes and looked at the man opposite him: "I used to think that the East Palace was an iron bucket and no one could interfere."

The person sitting opposite was Sun Huanzhi.

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Over the years, it's not just the Crown Prince who has misjudged Concubine Liang. Even a wise emperor like him hasn't seen through her true colors."

The prince has already told Sun Huanzhi about the matter. The detailed origins of the people on the list were screened by Sun Huanzhi.

The Second Prince and others have already known that Lu Jiangnian has been cured of the poison, and they will definitely pay more attention to the Eastern Palace.

Therefore, if this matter is handed over to Sun Huanzhi, it will not be so conspicuous.

Sun Huanzhi said: "Your Highness, one of these two lists has irrefutable evidence that it is indeed someone else's spy."

"The other list is a possibility. Based on the information I have so far, I cannot determine whether they are someone else's people."

The prince picked up the list of suspected persons and said, "I think the people here are the ones we should focus on."
