"If you pinch the prince's philtrum, he will wake up in a moment."
"What if I don't pinch her?" Wang Liang really didn't want to face Lu Mubai's anger.
"Maybe I'll wake up at night."
"Then do it." Wang Liang was afraid that if this delayed the prince's plan, he would really die.
Doctor Liu stepped forward and pinched Lu Mubai's philtrum hard. After a moment, Lu Mubai woke up.
As soon as Lu Mubai opened his eyes, they were both frightened by his cold eyes and fell to their knees.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Lu Mubai looked at the two people on the ground, feeling the pain in his philtrum. He instantly understood what had just happened.
Lu Mubai's voice was deep and powerful, and his eyes revealed a hint of subtle doubt: "Liu Fu Doctor, why did the king faint just now?"
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Liu Fu's forehead, and his voice trembled slightly: "My Lord, you are too anxious to react."
A cruel smile appeared on Lu Mubai's lips, as if he was quite satisfied with this explanation: "Impatient, what a hot temper." There was a hint of cruelty in his voice.
At the same time, Wang Liang's body began to tremble involuntarily, and his heart was filled with fear. He did not expect that Doctor Liu had been in the mansion for so long, and he did not even know some things that he should not say and would anger the prince.
What the prince hates most is being pointed out and getting angry. The prince always maintains an appearance of being indifferent to everything and having the overall situation under control. Even if he fails to do so sometimes, he cannot be pointed out, otherwise he will only become even more furious.
Lu Mubai slowly stood up and walked towards Liu Fu Doctor, his eyes as cold as ice: "Liu Fu Doctor, you concluded that this prince was angry and had an attack of anger."
"It was indeed caused by anger." There was a hint of firmness in Liu Fuyi's voice, although his heart was full of anxiety.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the soft sword in Lu Mubai's hand rushed out like a spirit snake, instantly cutting Liu Fuyi's throat.
Doctor Liu fell to the ground, his body twitching, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
Until the last moment of his life, his eyes were still fixed on Lu Mubai, as if seeking an answer.
Lu Mubai took out a delicate handkerchief expressionlessly and gently wiped the blood off his face.
He turned around and his eyes fell on Wang Liang who was kneeling beside him: "Wang Liang, tell me why I fainted?"
Wang Liang took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner panic, and answered in the calmest voice possible: "Your Majesty, you are exhausted because you have been working too hard for days and have not had a good rest."
"Oh?" There was a hint of inquiry in Lu Mubai's voice.
"That's true, Your Majesty." Wang Liang's voice became more firm.
Lu Mubai was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Get up. Take care of everything here, then go to the Dali Temple and make sure Lin Chuan shuts up forever."
"As you command, Your Majesty." Wang Liang responded in a low voice, but his heart was surging.
What Lu Mubai didn't know was that the golden luck on him that ordinary people couldn't see had just dissipated again.
In the Dali Temple, because the evidence was conclusive, Lin Chuan truthfully confessed to accepting money, who gave him the money, and how he formed a clique for personal gain.
Liu Quan sent people to arrest all the officials involved.
But when interrogating him about the packet of poison, Lin Chuan refused to confess anything and insisted that he didn't know anything about the poison.
Li Nanzhou sat on one side and looked at Lin Chuan with a smile.
"Are you sure you don't know?"
"Master, I really don't know what poison is."
"Really?" Li Nanzhou was not angry at all when he heard Lin Chuan's denial.
After Li Nanzhou paused for a moment, he continued, "Bring the person up."
A fat man was pushed into the main hall. He was the chef of Li's house.
Li Nanzhou's eyes were like torches, fixed tightly on Zhao Er, and his tone was steady and serious: "Zhao Er, think carefully, what did you witness outside the kitchen yesterday?"
Zhao Er's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his voice was filled with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness: "Your Excellency, I was busy preparing dishes for the full moon banquet yesterday, when Steward Lin found me and ordered me to make a nourishing medicinal soup for the old lady according to the medicinal recipe.
I didn't think much about it at the time. Since it was the order from Steward Lin, I naturally started to prepare medicinal food for the old lady immediately.
However, just when the medicinal soup was about to be cooked, Butler Lin sent the little man away from the kitchen on the pretext of tasting cold dishes.
I wanted to go to the big kitchen to try the cold dishes, but suddenly I remembered that I had forgotten my chopsticks in the room where the medicinal food was cooked.
So I went back to get the chopsticks, but unexpectedly witnessed a scene at the door: Steward Lin seemed to take out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and sprinkled it into the medicinal soup silently.
I was shocked and confused at the time, and even wondered if I had seen it wrong. In addition, I was busy with affairs that day and my mind was in a mess, so I did not investigate further.
But today, after hearing about the Shangshu's investigation, I suddenly recalled the strange incident yesterday."
Li Nanzhou frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Zhao Er, what you said is of great importance. Are you sure that what you saw is true?"
Zhao Er knelt down hurriedly, with a hint of firmness in his voice: "Every word I said is true, Your Excellency, the Minister has seen it clearly."
Li Nanzhou nodded, a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Okay."
Li Nanzhou looked at Liu Quan and said, "Master Liu, do you think Lin Chuan knows that he poisoned my mother?"
"Minister Li, of course he knows what Lin Chuan did personally."
Liu Quan banged the gavel in his hand, and looked sternly at Lin Chuan who was kneeling below. "Lin Chuan, you dare to tell lies in the Dali Temple."
Lin Chuan's body was shaking like a sieve at this time. What Zhao Er said was indeed true, but he didn't expect why this person had to come back to get chopsticks, and why he happened to see what he did.
Lin Chuan fell to the ground. "Sir, I did poison the old lady."
Zhao Er stood on one side with trembling legs. The moment he heard Lin Chuan's admission, he finally calmed down a little.
What he said before was indeed true, but the fact that he went back to get the chopsticks was completely told by the Shangshu. He was really scared. Fortunately, Lin Chuan admitted it, otherwise he would have given up.
At this time, a child's laughter was heard outside the Dali Temple.
The child who was laughing so happily was Shang Yangyang, who had heard the news and pulled Shang Qingan to watch the fun with her.
The two of them are the most idle in the business world right now. Shang Qian'an is about to take the Imperial College entrance examination, and he is preparing for the test.
Shang Yanqing is also preparing to take part in this year's imperial examination and is also preparing for the exam.
Lin Siqing was busy preparing a one-year-old birthday party for Shang Yangyang without her knowledge.
Not to mention Shang Yuanshan, he also started an investigation on Lu Mubai. Although he couldn't take Lu Mubai down for the time being, he could do something to disgust Lu Mubai.
