But news kept coming from prison.
It sent chills down her spine.
Sometimes she even thinks about it.
Princess Chang'an clearly likes Lu Zhaolin.
Why did she deny it so vehemently?
Could it be that the person who called Lu Zhaolin out that night wasn't really Princess Chang'an?
That palace maid was simply bribed.
It seems like this matter hasn't been resolved yet.
The palace maid named Lu Zhaolin who went out disappeared without a trace.
As the saying goes, one should see the person alive or dead, let alone in this vast and deep palace.
Then the only possibility is...
This palace maid has already been sent out of the palace.
Consort Shu couldn't understand it.
Even if Lu Zhaolin is severely tortured and investigated.
That was merely trespassing into the inner palace.
Who poisoned it?
Lu Zhaolin met Princess Chang'an outside the palace.
How could anyone in the palace know about their affair?
Besides her, the only other person in this palace was Emperor Yuanwu.
Consort Shu even had a bold guess.
Could it be that the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner back then was actually a trap?
Lu Zhaolin was just one piece in Emperor Yuanwu's overall game.
He wanted to take advantage of the relationship between Lu Zhaolin and Princess Chang'an.
Once Lu Zhaolin admits to the affair between the two.
Emperor Yuanwu could then use this to directly punish the two men.
If Lu Zhaolin doesn't admit it.
Then he could be imprisoned.
In the royal prison, countless people died mysteriously; it was not uncommon at all.
Consort Shu's speculation was not without reason.
Since ancient times.
Of those founding generals, some died, some were exiled, and almost none met a good end.
Which emperor wouldn't worry that a powerful general might plot a rebellion?
In addition, she already has three sons.
Emperor Yuanwu's power base was not deep, so how could he not worry that the Grand General would use the emperor to command the feudal lords, or simply let Consort Shu's son succeed to the throne and seize imperial power.
She had no choice but to use her unborn child to blackmail Emperor Yuanwu and secure a way out for her brother.
Lu Zhaolin was released.
But he was completely ruined.
He consulted renowned doctors throughout the land, but none could cure the poison in his body.
Moreover, the poison gradually began to spread to his internal organs.
Consort Shu knew the truth.
His brother was barely hanging on if he hadn't wanted an explanation from Princess Chang'an.
I'm afraid it's already long ago...
The entire general's mansion was filled with worries because of the imperial decree bestowing a marriage upon them.
Seeing Consort Shu's worried face, Mu Qianqian blinked her eyes with heartache.
Don't worry, Mother, you still have me.
I will definitely cure my uncle's illness.
Consort Shu lowered her eyes and glanced at her daughter.
Although she knew her daughter was just saying things to comfort her.
Hearing this warmed her heart.
Consort Shu couldn't help but pinch her nose.
"Our Qianqian is the best girl. Would you like some milk, Qianqian? I'll have someone heat up some milk for you, okay?" Consort Shu said gently.
Mu Qianqian grinned at Consort Shu, revealing a wide smile.
Okay, okay!
The aroma of food filling the room made her really hungry.
Just as she turned her head.
Mu Qianqian's inner thoughts.
Not only did Consort Shu hear it, but Lu Zhaofeng heard it as well.
Consort Shu might not believe Mu Qianqian's words, but Lu Zhaofeng had just witnessed Mu Qianqian's tears, which could heal his elder brother's leg injury.
Compared to my brother's life.
His marriage is no big deal.
He had already made up his mind that if Emperor Yuanwu really refused to rescind the marriage decree...
