Chapter 237: Lianzhi Gu's Beginning
Princess Liang didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Xiao Zhu has been released. The conclusion is that she was mistaken and Yuan Wanru did not go to the West Side Hall at all.
Concubine Liang's originally dignified and noble face now looked a little gloomy: "These people are becoming more and more useless."
All the palace maids around her lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
Liang Yusong pounded the table unwillingly: "What's going on?"
Concubine Liang took a quick look and motioned for everyone to leave before analyzing the situation with Liang Yusong: "I'm afraid someone has already seen through our plan and is using us to get rid of Zhao Liangfeng."
Liang Yusong's face was solemn: "Could it be Lu Jiangnian?"
Concubine Liang shook her head: "I'm not sure yet. If it's Lu Jiangnian, he can't possibly drag the crown prince into this."
It should be noted that the tokens on the four assassins are of great importance.
According to the laws of the imperial court, officials were forbidden from keeping assassins, and members of the royal family were especially prohibited from doing so.
The emperor was in the palace when four assassins suddenly appeared and killed court officials. How could the emperor not be afraid?
Among the four people involved, the third prince has a close relationship with the Zhao family and is the least likely to have committed murder. Regardless of his strength or motive, the crown prince is the biggest suspect.
If the prince keeps assassins, the emperor will definitely be more wary of him.
The emperor is old, and although he has always restrained himself, Concubine Liang can see that he no longer trusts and loves the prince as much as he used to.
The fifth prince's qualifications are really not good enough. The emperor is a wise ruler. For the sake of the Murong family's country, he will not easily depose the prince, but he will never allow the prince to have unknown power.
From this point of view, it is unlikely to be Lu Jiangnian.
But who could it be?
Yuan Wanru clearly went to the West Side Hall, so how could she leave unscathed?
Where did her assassins go?
The whole thing was confusing and Concubine Liang couldn't figure it out for a while.
However, there is one thing she is sure of: Yuan Wanru is not easy to deal with.
"Yusong, remember, don't attack Yuan Wanru unless you are absolutely sure."
Although Liang Yusong was not convinced and unwilling, he had no choice but to agree to Concubine Liang.
The matter is of great importance and she cannot afford to act on her own.
However, she smiled: "Aunt, I won't deal with her, I'll let Lu Jiangnian deal with her."
After saying that, she touched her heart.
The vitality of the mother Gu is getting stronger and stronger. She can feel that the child Gu has responded to her call.
After tomorrow, Lu Jiangnian will be hers, because, it can be said that there is no cure for the Lianzhi Gu.
Lu Jiangnian can only be her servant for the rest of his life.
Lu Wei really helped her a lot.
Otherwise, Lu Jiangnian would never have been infected with the Lianzhi Gu.
-
After working until late at night, Lu Jiangnian dragged his tired body back to Yunyouju.
Yuan Wanru had been waiting for him specially today. When she saw him coming back, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Liuzhi, ask the kitchen to bring a bowl of noodle soup."
It's frosty outside, and coming home from a cold night, having a bowl of hot noodle soup is perfect.
Lu Jiangnian looked at her with his eyes bent, feeling warm in his heart.
"Why aren't you asleep? Waiting for me?"
Yuan Wanru helped him wash his face and said, "Yeah, so many things happened today, I can't sleep."
Lu Jiangnian squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, everything is going according to plan."
Ye Shizhen is the most upright person. The emperor trusts Lu Jiangnian's ability, but is worried that he is biased towards the prince, so he lets Ye Shizhen work with him to investigate the case.
Among the two, Ye Shizhen was the chief officer and Lu Jiangnian was the assistant.
"I just want to use this incident to get to know some of the people around the Second Prince, so that I can investigate him more specifically in the future."
"This matter will not affect the prince."
Because the prince does not need to raise any assassins. The person who really raises them is Lu Jiangnian.
With Lu Jiangnian, the prince has someone, so the prince is absolutely innocent.
Even if the Eastern Palace was turned upside down, no clues could be found.
Yuan Wanru supported her chin with one hand, watched him eat noodles, and told him what happened today.
"Today, I am grateful to Princess An Ning. Otherwise, if I had broken the topaz bracelet, it would have been a big hassle."
After all, the topaz bracelet was made by the Queen Mother, so it has a different meaning.
"Not everyone can make a poison like Soft as Smoke. Lu Jiangnian, maybe we should focus on the Gao family."
Concubine Liang is in the palace, so it is difficult for them to investigate her.
The Second Prince’s residence was heavily guarded and difficult to investigate.
There is no one from the first wife's house in the Weiguo Mansion now, and Liang Yusong is acting cautiously, so it is difficult to find any handle on him.
Today's soft as smoke has the same idea as Yuan Wanru. Could it be that Concubine Liang's poison was provided by the Gao family?
Lu Jiangnian agreed with her idea: "My wife is right. I have indeed neglected the Gao family before."
Although he has a lot of people under him, he has to take care of the prince's affairs as well as investigate the case secretly, so not everyone can be used. He must have his confidants.
Imperial Physician Gao was an expert in medicine, but he was not good at using Gu. When Madam Lu was poisoned by Gu, Lu Jiangnian sent people to keep an eye on the Gao family, but found nothing, so he sent the people back.
Now it seems that he should focus on the Gao family as a breakthrough.
When the two of them are together, they always have endless things to talk about.
Lying in bed, Yuan Wanru said that Sun Haining accidentally saw the dirty scene, and she felt bad: "Some accidents are really unavoidable. I will give Haining some gifts tomorrow and thank her for taking care of Yuner for me."
Lu Jiangnian lifted her chin and frowned: "You saw it too?"
Yuan Wanru shook her head: "I heard a lot, but I really didn't see it."
Even if she didn't see it, Lu Jiangnian was furious. All those filthy voices actually fell into her ears.
"My dear, let me clean your ears."
A night of passion.
The next day, when Lu Jiangnian woke up, he felt a little dizzy.
He turned around to look at Yuan Wanru who was sleeping soundly, his heart overflowing with love. Just as he was about to lean over and kiss her pink lips, his heart suddenly ached violently.
"Um……"
The sudden dull pain almost made him groan, but he was afraid of waking up Yuan Wanru, so he tried to endure it. The pain in his heart came violently, his blood boiling, and even a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Then, my head became heavier and heavier, as if I was falling into a fog.
I don’t know how long it took for the pain to slowly subside.
Lu Jiangnian's eyes were a little cloudy and he couldn't see the scene clearly.
Slowly, his vision became clear, and he looked at the beauty lying in the bed, but the deep affection from before was no longer in his eyes. Instead, he only had a little confusion. Why did he want to kiss her just now?
It was just a woman he married and someone he liked, but he was reluctant to let her go.
It's crazy.
So, he walked out of the room without any hesitation.
-
On the other side, Liang Yusong suddenly vomited blood.
Lu'e, who had been standing by her side, nervously took a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Is the girl okay?"
Liang Yusong hadn't slept all night and had just vomited blood, so his face looked a little pale.
However, her eyes were dark and glowing.
She held onto Lu'e's hand tightly, revealing a crazy yet satisfied smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Lu'e, I succeeded, I really succeeded!"
Last night, she had been trying to establish contact with Zi Gu.
But she didn't know how to do it and got nothing. She didn't give up, but gritted her teeth and persevered. Finally, just now, she succeeded.
In a few hours, Yuan Wanru would be nothing in Lu Jiangnian's eyes.
