Chapter 91 Messenger
At this moment, the eldest princess's chest was heaving rapidly, and she was obviously very angry.
Not knowing where she got the courage from, Hu Xiner broke free from Mu Qing's arms, thinking that even if she died, she would die with dignity.
"You...you dare to look at me like that!" The eldest princess pointed at her, her face full of shock and anger.
"Why not?" Hu Xin'er questioned, "I also want to ask you, why did you keep saying that you loved Lu Yunjue, but you wanted to send someone to kill him in the first place!"
"Ah?" The eldest princess's face was filled with disbelief. "I sent someone to kill Lu Yunjue?"
Xiaolan jumped out indignantly, "Don't bully our princess! How dare you, little vixen, frame the eldest princess and sow discord between her and Master Lu!"
"Aren't you brave enough to admit what you have done?" Hu Xiner asked back in a resounding voice.
The eldest princess reached out and covered Xiaolan's mouth, and the aura of a female overlord just now was destroyed.
"Give me some time," she murmured. "I need to sort out the relationship here. You think I'm going to send someone to kill Lu Yunjue, so you're running away now. But what's the relationship between Lu Yunjue and you?"
"Why are you pretending? Haven't you long suspected that Mu Qing is Lu Yunjue?" Hu Xiner simply said it out loud.
Anyway, even if Mu Qing is not Lu Yunjue, the princess who is obsessed with looks has no intention of letting him go!
"Ah? Is he really Lu Yunjue?" The princess stared at Mu Qing with wide eyes and raised her hand with a complicated expression. "I can swear to heaven that I have never done anything to harm Lu Yunjue. If I lie even a little bit, may my nine clans be struck by lightning!"
But Mu Qing couldn't say a word. Does it mean that everyone now knows that he is Lu Yunjue?
The princess's oath was so harsh that Hu Xin'er was a little shaken. "Then why did someone hear a fight on the day Mu Qing was injured and claim it was the princess's order?"
"I really didn't!" The eldest princess recalled, "I did send someone to follow Lu Yunjue, but that was to protect him, not to kill him."
"That's right!" Xiaolan added, "It's very likely that Master Lu got into a fight with the criminals, and our people shouted, 'By order of the Princess, we swear to defend Master Lu to the death.'"
Hu Xin'er looked back at Mu Qing blankly: "Is that so?"
Mu Qing shook his head. He couldn't remember either.
The misunderstanding was temporarily resolved and the three of them sat down to talk face to face.
The eldest princess put aside her usual greasy and domineering demeanor, leaving only the most genuine reaction. Her beautiful face, illuminated by the sunlight, was indescribably noble.
"Lu Yunjue, have you lost your memory?" The eldest princess asked after learning the source of Hu Xiner's misunderstanding of her.
If he hadn't lost his memory, he would have known that the people she sent were helping him.
Mu Qing nodded, which was considered as an admission.
"Well, then I can only tell you the secret, so that you don't have to speculate about me with all kinds of messy thoughts every day!" Having said that, she looked at Hu Xiner fiercely.
It’s all because of this unruly person. Ever since she met her, the noble princess has been embarrassed!
Hu Xiner sat down obediently. Mu Qing held her hand and looked at the eldest princess warningly.
Humph, I won’t bother with these troublemakers.
The eldest princess thought so in her heart, and spoke with grievance: "When the current crown prince ascended the throne, Lu Yunjue's father tried his best to stop it. Since then, the crown prince has regarded the Lu family as a thorn in his side, so he sent people to hunt down Lu Yunjue."
Hu Xiner looked at Mu Qing, feeling complicated and indescribable.
Thinking back, this was how she guessed Mu Qing's identity, but she was directly threatened by Mu Qing with a dagger against her neck.
The princess said this and glanced at Mu Qing, also known as Lu Yunjue. "And this princess, a daughter of heaven, must marry you, Lu Yunjue, not only because I like your appearance, but also out of my desire to protect you! After all, the crown prince is my biological brother. If you were my man, the crown prince would at least spare your life."
"So, when you see someone with a face similar to Lu Yunjue, you try every means to bring him back?" Hu Xiner suddenly understood, and all the contradictory behaviors of the princess before were explained.
She was not actually born lustful and dissolute, but just pretended to be bewitched by Lu Yunjue in order to deceive the prince and protect Lu Yunjue.
Seeing how she always quotes like a domineering boss, it's likely that she has never even been in a relationship and she learned everything from picture books.
Hu Xiner even suspected that the eldest princess got inspiration for those domineering quotes from her own comics.
The princess said angrily, "What else? There are so many handsome men in the world. Do you think I really want a married man?"
"So what happened next?" Hu Xin'er was anxious to hear the follow-up. "Why did Lu Yunjue get injured?"
"I don't know the details. That day, the people I sent fought with the prince's men. In the chaos, Lu Yunjue fell off a cliff. It was my surviving men who came back to report it." The eldest princess curled her lips.
She said sourly: "If it weren't for my protection, Lu Yunjue might have died on the spot, and you wouldn't have had any chance of survival!"
"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life." Lu Yunjue spoke to her in a gentle tone, which was rare, although his face was still cold.
"Hmph!" the princess said angrily, "I don't care about hypocrisy!"
Hu Xiner explained for Lu Yunjue: "He's just not very good at expressing himself."
The eldest princess sneered: "When you two were talking about love in front of me and were so affectionate, he was really good at expressing it!"
She ignored the couple and continued to talk about what happened later: "After that incident, Lu Yunjue's body was nowhere to be found. I thought he was in grave danger. Later, someone sent me an anonymous letter saying that he appeared in this town, so I came here."
I didn't expect that nothing good has happened since I came here.
The eldest princess pouted, she really missed the life in the Forbidden City.
Xiaolan offered her tea considerately: "Master, don't be angry, it's not worth it."
"Well, Xiaolan is pretending like that to hide her identity?" Hu Xiner looked at Xiaolan, who was completely different from usual, and felt that the world was magical.
My life suddenly changed from farming and business war to palace fighting.
Xiaolan looked at her with a speechless look.
The eldest princess nodded gloomily: "But my acting is better than hers."
However, the fact is that she is usually a little awkward, while Xiaolan plays a brainless role naturally.
Hu Xiner can now be sure that the eldest princess's confidence and ability to make money when playing the role of a domineering boss are innate.
Lu Yunjue brought the matter back to the point: "Who delivered the letter?"
He subconsciously suspected it was Erdong, but he also felt that Erdong was an open-minded person and would definitely not say anything if he promised not to say it.
"Could it be Zhang Wanting?" Hu Xiner immediately thought of the distant relative of Sun Cai's mother.
During this period, apart from the killer, only Zhang Wanting could accurately call out Lu Yunjue's name.
It's very likely her, but why would she do this?
