Chapter 405 Lu Yunjue in the Dungeon
After realizing what had happened, the Lu family immediately panicked.
When Lu's mother learned the news that her son had died, she could no longer care about anything else and showed signs of mental collapse.
She became excited, broke free from Jiang Yao's hand, and rushed towards Hu Xin'er, shaking her and asking, "Xin'er, have you seen Yun Jue? How did you know this news? Where is he? Tell me, tell me, okay?"
Hu Xin'er had already had a miscarriage and was weak. She was shaken so hard that she felt dizzy and couldn't say a word.
Yin Li pushed Lu's mother away, frowning and scolding, "Are you trying to shake her to death and avenge Prime Minister Lu?"
Mother Lu staggered after being pushed, and Mu Qing hurriedly supported her.
He glared at Yin Li: "This is our Lu family's family affair, Pavilion Master Yin, don't bother with it!"
Yin Li fanned herself and shook it vigorously: "I don't care? If I didn't care, Hu Xin'er would have been killed by you long ago!"
Hu Xin'er endured the pain and said weakly, "Stop arguing."
"Shut up!" Yin Li got angry when he looked at her and simply covered her face with the fan.
He glared at Mu Qing: "Open your eyes and look. This is your own wife, and she's carrying your child. Is it possible that there's only hatred in your eyes, and you don't have even a little bit of room for her?"
"When did I..." Mu Qing was about to refute, but was interrupted.
Yin Li questioned, "If you have her in your heart, why do you repeatedly put her in danger? If you escape to a remote country, the prince won't be able to hunt you down. Ultimately, the reason Hu Xin'er is repeatedly in danger is because in your heart, the Lu family comes first."
Mu Qing suddenly lost his words.
Yin Li sneered, "When you exposed this matter at the birthday banquet, didn't you think about the danger Hu Xin'er would be in? No, you did think about it. You were just gambling, betting that Hu Xin'er, who was so weak, could get away with it!"
Jiang Yao calmly helped Lu's mother over and said, "There's no point in talking to a man like him. Mu'er, go get your wife."
Yin Li didn't resist, but snorted coldly: "If you really want to do this for her own good, you should take her back home to recuperate now, so that she won't get mad at you and cause a miscarriage, resulting in two deaths."
Mu Qing opened his mouth, but finally fell silent.
Of course he knew that he should take good care of Hu Xiner now, but the clue of his biological brother was right in front of him, how could he not ask?
Hu Xiner was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She understood Mu Qing's dilemma, but she also felt a little heartbroken because of Mu Qing's hesitation.
But, what position does she have that can make Mu Qing put her above the life and death of his family?
She felt a dull pain in her abdomen, and she clutched her stomach while speaking incoherently, "There's a tunnel under the table in the study... The Cloud Technique is... there."
After learning the clue, Lu's mother and Jiang Yao rushed to the backyard desperately.
Mu Qing stood there without moving.
His brother's death was the thing he was most afraid to face before. Now that he got the good news that Lu Yunjue was still alive, he should have been happy, but when he thought about the fact that he was facing his brother's face, he felt guilty.
Yin Li sneered, "Why, weren't you showing your brotherly love just now? Now you're not going to let it go?"
Hu Xiner loves Mu Qing deeply and knows his thoughts and intentions very well.
She didn't want to make Mu Qing feel so uncomfortable, so she endured the pain and comforted him, "The blood relationship between you two brothers cannot be severed by anyone. Yun Jue... he will definitely understand your helplessness."
She wanted to say something else, for example, judging from Lu Yunjue's reaction, he did not resent his brother, but was very concerned about him.
But it took her a lot of energy to finish the sentence, and she needed to take a while longer before she could speak again.
Mu Qing woke up from his thoughts and said distressedly, "Xin'er, stop talking. Let's go and rest for a while."
Before he finished speaking, the prince said, "No!"
At this moment, he stood beside the emperor and said very seriously: "Father, the Lu family's deception of the emperor is a serious matter. We cannot let Sister Xin'er go with Mu Qing, in case..."
He only finished half of his words and hinted at the emperor with his eyes.
Liu Se had just escaped, leaving the emperor alone standing in the courtyard, his shoulder still bleeding.
The prince immediately seized the opportunity, came to the emperor with an anxious look on his face, and bandaged the emperor's wound himself.
The emperor looked at his son, whom he had high hopes for, and even though he knew how cruel and insane the thing he had just done was, he couldn't bear to do anything to him.
In his impression, the prince has always been gentle, generous, and extremely outstanding, and he is also the son he is most proud of.
But since when did his son become what everyone calls a "two-faced man", even daring to ambush with archers and massacre innocent people in public?
He couldn't figure it out, nor did he want to think about it, so he could only close his eyes and enjoy the warmth of being cared for by his son at this moment.
Hearing the prince's words, he glanced at Mu Qing indifferently. He used to think that the couple was a loving couple, but when Hu Xiner became his daughter, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Mu Qing.
He had heard everything Yin Li said just now and felt a deep resonance with it.
Although Mu Qing is not the same person as Lu Yunjue, he is not as gentle and considerate as her.
Xin'er is his daughter. Although she has not been canonized, she is still a princess. The child is naturally his little grandson.
But Mu Qing only remembered to take good care of her now. How hateful!
He looked at Hu Xin'er's frail appearance, and his heart ached. "Come here, quickly ask the imperial physician to find some medicine to keep the baby safe, and then send the princess to rest. As for Mu Qing, he needs to stay here."
Hu Xin'er shook her head: "I'm not leaving."
She was so determined that the emperor had no choice but to persuade her. After a few words of persuasion, he said softly, "Then I will ask the imperial physician to come here to take your pulse. You must take care of yourself."
After saying this, he looked at Mu Qing even more displeased.
Were the two Lu brothers here to collect a debt from him? How come each of them had seduced his daughter so much that she was completely distracted?
Seeing Hu Xin'er like this, Yin Li was so angry that she was speechless: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given you the Jade Dew Pills, so that you wouldn't be so arrogant!"
Hu Xin'er ignored him. Feeling she had regained some strength, she urged Mu Qing, "I know you want to see Yun Jue too. Go quickly..."
Mu Qing was still a little hesitant, not only because he felt ashamed to see his brother, but also because Xin'er was at her weakest right now.
Yin Li said angrily: "Can you act like a man? Stop being so fussy. You are so indecisive that you are really betraying Xin'er's friendship!"
Mu Qing thought about it again and again and finally made up his mind.
But when he mustered up the courage to walk to the backyard, he saw Mother Lu coming out with a masked man...
