"What bad things did the princess plan to do behind my back? Send all my people away."
Not long after, Shen Yan appeared in front of Lu Wan with a smile.
In this situation...whatever you fear will come true.
"It's nothing, actually. I just want to have a personal chat with this guy."
Lu Wan smiled awkwardly to hide his embarrassment.
Shen Yan obviously looked unconvinced... In this situation, he could only be told the truth.
"Actually, I just want to give it a try and tell him everything we have deduced before to test him."
Lu Wan finally said it out.
Although...in fact, Shen Yan already knew all his thoughts.
"If that's what you inferred, you think he could kill his own brother. Do you think he still has any humanity left?"
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows, obviously not agreeing with Lu Wan's approach.
In fact, if he agreed, he wouldn't have come here in person.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but I also have my own judgment."
This time Lu Wan didn't intend to explain this matter.
It is really hard to empathize with people like Shen Yan who grew up in intrigue.
Of course, Shen Yan also heard Lu Wan's complaints, and he just smiled indifferently. Indeed, Lu Wan was right. People like them had no emotions.
"Then I will not interfere in this matter. You can solve it yourself. I look forward to hearing good news from you."
Shen Yan said and left.
Anyway, based on what this little guy is thinking, we can guess most of it. He probably wants to make Ergou regret it through family affection.
It is not a bad idea.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Lu Wan finished speaking, he walked into the cell where Ergou was imprisoned to negotiate.
This time, Lu Wan did not use any torture on Ergou. He just sat with him face to face, and neither of them spoke.
"What are you doing here again? I've already told you everything I know."
Ergou lost his temper and spoke up.
Lu Wan chuckled and didn't refute him, but she knew she had made the right bet.
If there really was nothing, he wouldn't be so anxious. His current behavior only shows that he has something to hide.
"Ergou, is this the name your parents gave you?"
Lu Wan did not answer his question, but asked another one instead.
Ergou revealed his real name was Liu You and curled his lips.
"Otherwise, would I give myself such a vulgar name?"
Liu You's disdainful look made Lu Wan's heart ache.
It can't be that what some people said was right, right? This guy is really so cold-blooded.
Shen Yan, who had already returned to the palace, sneezed violently.
"That woman must be scolding me again."
Chen Yan felt a little amused. This woman kept calling him "dog prince" all the time. How did he offend her?
The funniest thing is that he didn't have any anger at all.
In the interrogation cell… “If that’s the case, then I won’t call you by this name that will make you despise me, right Liu You?”
There was always a faint smile on Lu Wan's lips, this was something she was determined to achieve.
Sure enough, Liu You, who had always been calm, saw his expression change. Although he adjusted his mood immediately, that difference was still noticed.
"How did you find out?"
Liu You lowered his eyes, obviously not intending to make any more excuses.
He was just curious about what had exposed him.
"It's simple. Liu Shen's death was very strange. No one died in the first fire. This is very strange."
Lu Wan first raised the point that made her suspicious at the beginning, which was also the most obvious point.
In fact, Liu You chose a very good time. If the people in the military camp could not see it, it would be normal for the soldiers not to be in the room at that time.
It’s just that Liu Shen was injured that day... and had been staying in the room, which was beyond Liu You’s expectation.
"You still have some friendship for him. If I check your arm, I should be able to find that Liu Shen actually has no wounds on his body."
This was also the second suspicious point that Lu Wan discovered. Something like a blood letter required a large amount of blood, and it couldn't be created with just a small wound.
Obviously, Liu Shen is "writing"
After the blood letter was written, or before that, there were already no signs of life, and it was impossible to heal without any trace in a short period of time.
So there can only be an accomplice.
Only then can it be done.
Seeing that Liu You had fallen silent, Lu Wan delivered the final blow.
"Who else can have such a friendship except family members?"
After Lu Wan finished speaking, he looked straight at Liu You and said nothing more.
Liu You didn't say anything the whole time, and Lu Wan gave him time to calm down.
"I admit that you are very powerful, but you are wrong about one thing. I didn't want to kill him."
Liu You seemed relieved and smiled.
In this situation, there is nothing to hide.
“But in the end he still died.”
Lu Wan also smiled, but it was not a smile of relief, but a bitter smile.
"Yeah, he's still dead."
He kept laughing, and the sound became louder and louder, until it was even a little creepy in the end.
Liu You laughed so hard that he was hoarse.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
Looking at the current situation, Lu Wan actually has a rough idea of what is going on.
She just wanted a definite answer.
"You, how do you know he has such a brother?"
This question has become an obsession that has been bothering me.
Everything that bound him made him feel inferior and helpless, and he even attacked his own brother.
"You often go in and out of the military camp, so you should know General Lu Changxin. He is my brother, and he told me."
Lu Wan must have lied. Actually, his brother didn't know the details either.
In fact, some details still depend on the information brought back by the people sent by Shen Yan to investigate.
I have to say it's quite reliable.
It can be considered a white lie, which is better than telling him the cruel truth directly.
Before traveling here, how should I put it, Lu Wan's experience was actually similar to Liu You's, except that it was not as extreme as Liu You's.
"Really? Brother is willing to mention me to others?"
Liu You's eyes brightened up noticeably, completely different from the lifeless look just now.
Lu Wan could only nod. According to her guess, Liu You would not have a good ending in the end. With Chen Yan's cold personality, he might not be able to understand this kind of family affection at all.
"Yes, he is your biological brother, why would he not want to mention you to others?"
Lu Wan tentatively wanted to get more information.
But after listening to it, Lu Wan only felt angry. The reason why his brother did not dare to let others know his brother's name was actually the court.
The imperial court was unwilling to provide relief to the common people who could not afford food, and the aristocratic families monopolized the market, so there were fewer and fewer children of officials from poor families like Liu Shen.
