Not long after Lu Tong and his two sons left, Lu Tong's eldest nephew, Wenchang Marquis Lu Lin, who wanted to make fun of Lu Tong and wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of him, also rode out of Wenchang Marquis's mansion in a hurry after Lu Tong and his two sons left.
As for Lu Tong, he arrived at the Dengwen Drum with a sullen face. As soon as he got out of the car, he launched into a barrage of scolding, "Anqing, what are you doing? Don't you know your own physical condition? Are you tired of living like this?"
Although Princess Anqing is still under Mo Huaiyang's control at this moment, her hatred for Lu Tong is real.
Upon seeing Lu Tong, her eyes immediately flashed with a sharp gleam of hatred, "How... how dare you... continue to... act like... an elder... to me? My mother..."
Lu Tong's heart tightened. As expected, she had heard from other people that his good sister had an unusual cause of death.
"How dare you mention your mother? Your mother went through so much hardship to give birth to you and raise you, is it just for you to ruin your body like this?" Lu Tong didn't intend to let Princess Anqing speak again. He waved to the guards who followed, "Come here, carry the princess to my carriage."
The guards of the Lu Mansion responded and moved. Seeing this, Princess Anqing's trusted palace maids were about to stop them, but Mo Huaiyang, who had always been treated as a background, suddenly stood up.
He coldly stared at Lu Tong, who was trying to stop Princess Anqing from speaking in this way. "Lord Lu, the Queen Mother's death is in doubt. The princess, despite her illness, came to beat the drum to report the truth, hoping for the truth to be revealed so that the Queen Mother can die in peace. You had the princess taken away without a word. Do you want people to privately talk about you being short-tempered and guilty?"
The murderous intent in Lu Tong's eyes was tangible. "Who was it I thought it was? It turns out to be our Anqing's cuckolded prince consort. As far as I know, you and Anqing have no romantic feelings for each other. Are you rushing out here now to sow discord between us uncle and nephew with such a fabricated rumor?"
The onlookers: ...
Everyone was shouting in their hearts, "Wow, today's news is really big and explosive enough!" At the same time, they couldn't help but secretly glance at Mo Huaiyang, the "cuckolded prince consort" who was personally labeled as such by Lu Tong.
Tsk tsk, this is really...
For a time, some people sympathized with Mo Huaiyang for having to swallow his anger and suffer humiliation, some people were angry that Lu Tong was not ashamed but proud of it and corrupted social morals, and some people secretly gloated over his misfortune.
The complexity of human heart and human nature is vividly displayed in this moment.
Mo Huaiyang clenched his fists, but his expression remained unchanged. He looked at Lu Tong coldly, "I am the Green-headed Prince Consort. Didn't some of you Lu family also make great contributions?"
Everyone: ???!!!!
Lu Tong's face turned pale, "That's just nonsense!"
The Lu family has not yet kicked the Xiao family off the throne. Now is a critical period. The Lu family cannot bear the bad reputation of these cousins.
Mo Huaiyang sneered, "I swear that everything I said is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and torn into pieces by five horses. Lord Lu, do you dare to swear an oath as well to prove your Lu family's innocence?"
Of course, Lu Tong would not swear such an oath. Not to mention that he knew that some unfilial sons of their clan had indeed done some inappropriate things with Princess Anqing. He even had to hold his nose and ask his son to help clean up the aftermath. Even if this had not happened, as the actual ruler of the Great Qi Dynasty, he would not lower himself and swear such a strange oath with Mo Huaiyang, a guy who he found unlucky at the mere sight of.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you dare to provoke me to swear an oath with you? Don't you see what kind of status I am? What gives you the confidence to think you are worthy of being mentioned on the same level as me, a maggot like you?"
Mo Huaiyang was so angry that he laughed. He laughed like crazy for a long time, and people around him couldn't help but suspect that he was driven crazy by Lu Tong.
Lu Tong didn't think so. Although Mo Huaiyang's smile seemed to pose no threat to him, he still inexplicably had a bad premonition.
He waved his hand and said, "Take this ignorant thing away with me!"
The guard of the Lu Mansion responded yes, and then reached out to grab Mo Huaiyang again.
These people were all Lu Tong's trusted confidants. They saw that Lu Tong didn't want Princess Anqing and others to say something they shouldn't say. When they started to arrest people, they immediately disabled the ability of Princess Anqing, Mo Huaiyang, and their guards and servants to speak.
Some were simply chopped unconscious and taken away, some had their jaws removed and then tied up, and some were even directly pressed into the mute point. In short, their actions were all very quick and efficient.
When it was Mo Huaiyang's turn, the only one left among all the people brought by Princess Anqing was Yu Zizhen, who had been standing outside the conflict circle.
Yu Zizhen ignored the verbal exchange between Lu Tong and Mo Huaiyang, nor did she care about the different reactions of the onlookers. She didn't even take the Lu Mansion guards who were concentrating on arresting people seriously. She stood quietly in the upwind direction, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the small porcelain bottle that was completely covered by her palm.
With every knock she made, some of the fine powder in the small porcelain bottle would float out with the wind.
When the guards of the Lu Mansion looked around and found her, the fish that had escaped the net, they were about to send two people to catch her, but the medicine she had given happened to take full effect.
Not only the guards of the Lu Mansion who had been running back and forth, but even Lu Tong and his sons who had been standing there obediently, and Wenchang Marquis Lu Lin who had rushed over to get involved, all felt something was wrong with their bodies, to varying degrees.
Among all the people, the three people, Lu Tong and his son, who were being cared for by Yu Zizhen, had the most serious symptoms, followed by the guards of the Lu Mansion who were always walking around.
The pain in his abdomen became more and more obvious. Lu Tong realized that he and his group had been ambushed. He forced himself to tell the guards, "Quick, return to the palace and call the imperial physician."
Yu Zizhen narrowed her eyes with a smile, and she drew out her sword in a flash. Then, her figure was like a ghost, and she flashed past Lu Tong and his two sons in a few moves, as well as Wenchang Hou Lu Lin, who had discovered that she had killed someone and was now terrified with his eyes wide open.
In an instant, the four promising men of the Lu family had their throats slit by her. The onlookers who witnessed this bloody scene screamed and scattered.
Yu Zizhen ignored these people who were joining in the fun. She held her sword and continued killing people without saying a word.
All the guards of the Lu Mansion were poisoned. Most of them had chosen to retreat temporarily because the situation was extremely unfavorable to them, but about 35% of the guards went crazy and rushed towards Yu Zizhen without caring about their lives.
Yu Zizhen killed those who were obviously unable to move but still wanted to fight her to the death.
