Chapter 74 He lied about the flood in the south, was the Shen family the mastermind?! ...

The imperial study fell into deathly silence for a moment, and everyone looked at Lu Jingchuan in disbelief.

Concubine Yu became even more frightened. After Lu Jingchuan said this, there was only one possibility.

Yu Bingyan killed Qin Yuqing! The Yu family is finished!

Others may not know, but she is sure that Lu Jingchuan is an absolute lunatic.

The emperor was silent and speechless. Who was it that praised this boy for being calm, not impulsive, and having a sense of propriety?

He suddenly had an incredible idea. If Lu Jingchuan had this kind of personality, wouldn't his Sixth Princess be like this too?

An old father's world collapsed.

Qin Yuding held her forehead with her hand, feeling somewhat helpless. Was this the good show the system had promised?

However, she had not expected Lu Jingchuan to feed Yu Bingyan the "worm" soup. Moreover, from what she had heard from the emperor and Lu Jingchuan before, she could feel that Lu Jingchuan's trip to the south was tacitly approved by the emperor.

Seeing that no one was talking, Lu Jingchuan thought about it and realized that his behavior was indeed not very good, so he added perfunctorily.

"I recognized the wrong person and made the wrong move."

"How can you do such a thing just by mistaking someone for someone else? And how can you recognize the Yu Mansion by mistaking someone for someone else?" However, Concubine Yu did not say this.

If it weren't for basic etiquette and the emperor's good impression of her, she really wanted to grab Lu Jingchuan and question him.

"Even though it's a misunderstanding, General Lu, Ah Yan is our Yu family's child after all. It's unreasonable for you not to give us an explanation, isn't it?"

Lu Jingchuan nodded, "Indeed." He continued slowly, "However, as you all know, I don't really know the way, and this was a careless move."

"Besides, Mr. Yu will be fine."

Concubine Yu felt her blood pressure rising. Listening to Lu Jingchuan's words, she suddenly remembered Lu Jingchuan who had frequently gotten lost in the harem over the years, and a chill ran down her back.

If Lu Jingchuan had been deliberately getting lost all these years, then what was he looking for in the harem?

Could it be that there is something unclean left in the place where that person lives? !

Qin Yuqing carefully observed Concubine Yu's expression and saw that she was evasive, with fear and panic flashing in her eyes.

This look is like the fear of being discovered and exposed after doing something evil, the kind of fear that comes from the depths of the soul.

What else is hidden in this harem? Qin Yuqing was puzzled and recalled that she had taken Xiaolu and Xiaowu out of the harem and went to that dog hole.

The system had a bug at the time, and combined with recent events, she had a hunch that the dog hole contained everything she wanted to know.

Unfortunately, she is now a soul body, and with the interference from the system last time, she is not sure if she can find that place again.

The emperor was somewhat helpless. In his heart, he was on Lu Jingchuan's side, but after all, the Yu family controlled the lifeline of the court. No matter what, he could not break off relations with the Yu family for the time being.

"In that case, then I will punish Lu Jingchuan by having him confined to his house for three days to reflect on his mistakes and deduct one month's salary."

Concubine Yu wanted to say something else, but the Emperor waved his hand. Eunuch Jin stepped forward, held out his hand, and said, "Please, Your Majesty."

Concubine Yu understood that the emperor was determined to protect Lu Jingchuan. Moreover, she was unsure about the matter, so she had to ask Yu Bingyan for clarification on some matters.

If he really went too far and killed Qin Yuqing early, then she should also prepare for her own retreat.

Lu Jingchuan nodded respectfully. As he passed by Concubine Yu, he said indifferently, "You should be thankful that the poison you gave him wasn't fatal."

"Next time, it won't be this painless."

Concubine Yu's emotions were surging. She turned her back to the emperor, glared at Lu Jingchuan fiercely, and whispered, "If anything happens to Ah Yan, the Yu family will not let you go."

Qin Yuqing raised an eyebrow. Are they going to break up and stop pretending?

Lu Jingchuan remained unmoved. He walked out with his back straight, looking into the distance calmly.

"Who made the Yu family touch someone they shouldn't have touched?"

Concubine Yu looked at Lu Jingchuan's back. She thought about Lu Jingchuan's words over and over again, and her fear of death became more and more serious.

This kid Lu Jingchuan has been an absolute madman since he was a child. He entered the palace when he was young. Whenever someone bullied someone he cared about, he would retaliate like a mad wolf cub.

But it's obviously just a baby.

Qin Yuqing followed Lu Jingchuan out of the palace and headed straight to the suburbs of the capital. Lu Jingchuan stopped in front of a small pavilion with a small waterfall behind it.

Walking into a pavilion, he tapped the table with his fingers, took out a whistle and started blowing.

After a while, a man in black clothes and a black mask came out.

Qin Yuqing looked at the man's figure and felt that he looked familiar. He should be someone she had seen before, but maybe she had only seen him once or twice, so Qin Yuqing did not have a deep impression of him.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Jingchuan's eyes, but he then concealed it calmly, his voice as emotionless as ever.

"I wonder if you could answer one question, sir?"

"Old rules." The man's voice seemed to have been processed, and when he spoke it was as if there was a large mouthful of phlegm in his throat, making it difficult to hear his voice.

But precisely because of this, Qin Yuqing dared to be sure that this person must be someone everyone knows. In other words, he must be recognizable.

“I want to know who is responsible for the floods in the south.”

"Ten people." The masked man in black paused for a moment before continuing, "As for intelligence deeper into the region, it will cost a higher price."

Lu Jingchuan waved his hand, and Lu Jiu came out with a group of people. Hei Ye, masked, took a casual look and nodded.

"The Shen family of Yanyun City is the mastermind."

Qin Yuqing's expression changed slightly and she frowned. Because her face was masked, she couldn't judge whether what the man said was true or false based on his micro-expressions.

But Qin Yuqing knew that the Shen family would never do such a thing. What was the purpose of the masked man in black saying this?

"What is the remaining price?" Lu Jingchuan nodded, his expression unchanged, and continued to ask.

"Qin Yuqing." The masked man in black said without any emotion, "I want her to stay with me for two days."

Lu Jingchuan sneered and thanked the masked man in black, saying, "Thank you for the clue, sir. But you also know that Ruan is my life."

The masked man looked at Lu Jingchuan quietly in the dark night. After a while, he seemed to sigh and said as if to persuade Lu Jingchuan: "You have a bright future. Don't let love hinder your progress."

"Thank you for your teachings, sir. If the price of gaining the world is losing the one I love most in my life, then I would rather not have it."

The masked man in the dark night did not speak again, but turned around and left the pavilion with his men.

Lu Jiu walked forward and stood beside Lu Jingchuan. He asked in a low voice, "Master, Yu Bingyan is still suffering from diarrhea in the Yu Mansion."

"According to our informant, Yu Bingyan has collapsed from diarrhea and is too weak to go to the toilet. His excrement is handled by his servants."

Lu Jiu frowned as he spoke. He suppressed the nausea in his heart and continued, "It's unlikely to be Yu Bingyan."

Lu Jingchuan nodded. He looked up at where Qin Yuqing was and asked, "What do you think, Ruan?"

This time, not only Lu Jiu was shocked, but even Qin Yuqing was shocked.

The former was shocked as if he had seen a ghost, because he did not see the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing.

The latter was doubly shocked. First, Lu Jingchuan could see him, and second, the system actually made a mistake?

"Can you see me?" Qin Yuqing held up two fingers in confusion, "Which one is this?"

"two."

"You can really see me?" Qin Yuqing felt a little surprised. "Why don't you explain this to Lu Jiu? I think this kid is starting to doubt his life."

Lu Jingchuan nodded obediently, and just when he was about to speak, Lu Jiu suddenly said.

"I understand! Master, I understand!" Lu Jiu became excited. "This is love, it can overcome thousands of obstacles."

Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan:...

If you think so, there is nothing we can say.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Lu Jiu said very tactfully.

"Wait, Lu Jiu stay." Qin Yuqing immediately said to Lu Jingchuan, "He is someone you trust, and he has a good relationship with Ah Qing. You can discuss this matter with him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchuan immediately relayed Qin Yuqing's words to Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu turned around, his eyes slightly red. In fact, when he heard what this person said, his first reaction was that he was lying, but so many times before, this person's information was not wrong.

So Lu Jiu was very confused. He didn't believe that the Shen family would do such a thing. But if this person could lie, then how many of the previous clues were true and how many were false?

"This incident can only prove three possibilities." Qin Yuqing was unable to communicate with Lu Jiu directly, so everything was conveyed by Lu Jingchuan.

"First, someone from the Shen family was indeed involved, or rather, they were the ones who came up with this plan, so they were identified as the mastermind."

"Secondly, this person lied. He knew that you had no ability at the moment and no way to verify whether what he said was right or wrong, so he spoke recklessly with the purpose of sowing discord between the Lu and Shen families."

Qin Yuqing's soul sat on the chair, half lying on Lu Jingchuan's shoulder, and continued.

"After all, everyone in the capital knows that your Lu family and the Shen family are old friends and have a very good relationship. Plus, the emperor values ​​you so much that those rats in the gutter have a sense of crisis."

"Is there another possibility?" Lu Jingchuan tilted his head slightly. He could feel that the place where Qin Yuqing was was a little cold. Is this the feeling of touching a soul body?

"Third, this person needs enough people around you, so he doesn't care whether you can find out the truth or not. Simply put, he's too lazy to pretend."

Lu Jingchuan nodded. What Qin Yuqing said was exactly what he thought.

After hearing this, Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously patted his chest, and his expression returned to his usual expressionless look.

"Master, the Shen family would never do such a thing."

Hearing Lu Jiu's somewhat anxious words, Qin Yuqing laughed softly and said with a teasing tone.

"If you don't learn to trust, you will lose the one you love."

Lu Jingchuan continued to relay Qin Yuqing's words, perhaps the speaker was unintentional but the listener took it seriously.

Lu Jiu lowered her head shyly, revealing a rare hint of shyness as she said, "We haven't even started yet."

Lu Jingchuan looked thoughtfully at Qin Yuqing, who was lying on his shoulder with a wicked smile in her fox eyes.

Yes, if you don’t learn to trust, you will lose the one you love.

"Our General Lu has done a great job in this regard. I have complete trust in him."

"No matter where I am, he will find me."
