Chapter 306 The Prince Will Not Let Him Down
Lu Jiangnian guessed that she was worried about the Yuan family.
Although he sent an urgent secret letter back to Beijing and wrote another letter to Nanjiang County after learning that he was exposed.
However, I am afraid my wife will not be able to rest assured until she sees with her own eyes the safety of the Yuan family.
"Okay, let's try to get back as soon as possible."
Lu Jiangnian kissed her cheek: "But if you fall ill, it will delay us even more. Tomorrow, we will walk slower so you can take the opportunity to rest."
Yuan Wanru did not insist. Her body had always been delicate. Although she had traveled far before, she had never been in a hurry along the way. This time she was really struggling.
She raised her head and said to him tenderly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Jiangnian couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her moist lips, his eyes as gentle as ever.
"Go to bed early later."
Although he was still full of energy, since leaving Mengxin Village, he just held her in his arms until sleep every day.
Even when he was too restless to sleep in the middle of the night, he would just recite the Art of War silently and force himself to be calm and free from desires.
There was no other way; under the circumstances, he could only endure it.
But this process is sometimes really hard to endure.
Yuan Wanru lay there obediently. Lu Jiangnian held her in his arms. She suddenly thought of something: "Do you think the Second Prince will send someone to assassinate us?"
Lu Jiangnian reached out and stroked her soft black hair. She had just taken a bath tonight and the fragrance on her hair was fresh and pleasant. He couldn't help but put his nose close and took a few deep breaths.
"Most likely, yes."
Now, the second prince is not sure whether the crown prince knows about it or not.
The safest way is to prevent Lu Jiangnian from returning to Beijing alive.
Considering Concubine Liang's planning over the years, if the prince's reaction is not sharp enough, the situation will be very passive.
However, he believed that the prince would not let him down.
-
The prince is not a fool.
Although he still had doubts about Tang Bo's words, the matter was of great importance, so how could he not investigate it?
The next day, he secretly went to see Xuanying, "Jiang Nian said that your people are keeping an eye on Murong Xiao. Have they made any moves in the past two days?"
Xuanying was responsible for protecting Tang Bo, but when he returned to Beijing, Lu Jiangnian gave him the command of the capital's secret guards.
There are many spies in the East Palace, so he didn't dare to go to the prince rashly.
Now that the prince had arrived, he told him about the Gao family's affairs.
Lu Jiangnian had been having people keep an eye on the Gao family. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, these people did not dare to get too close, but they all knew that Liang Yusong had a serious illness.
"According to my subordinates' speculation, the prince must have been cured of the poison, and Liang Yusong suffered the backlash."
Although Xuanying was not sure, various signs indicated that this possibility was very high.
Otherwise, how to explain that Liang Yusong suddenly became seriously ill and almost died?
Also, the Second Prince hid his whereabouts and hurried to the Gao family. He must have been discussing something earth-shattering.
There was no telling what was going on in the prince's expression, but if one looked closely at his tense jaw, one would know that he was suppressing his turbulent emotions.
He is indeed very angry now.
However, it has been three or four days since he heard from Tang Bo about what happened that year, and he has experienced all the anger, sadness, and doubt.
"You were right not to come to the East Palace to find me."
The prince suddenly said this, and Xuanying was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
The Second Prince's actions made the Crown Prince understand a lot of things.
This means that what Tang Bo said is very likely true.
This in turn proves one thing, that Concubine Liang is a scheming person, and is good at disguise. She has played the role of a loving mother beside the prince for many years. Who knows how many of her spies are around the prince?
Because the prince has already linked it to the spy who committed the crime at the crown princess' birthday party last year.
Until now, he has not found out who is so powerful as to have planted a spy right under his nose.
He had always thought it was Concubine Zhao or Madam Zhaohua, but now it seems that it was the "Concubine Liang" whom he had always respected and loved.
Thinking of this, the prince's heart turned as cold as a knife.
"What's going on, Second Prince?"
Xuanying: "The Second Prince has always behaved as someone who doesn't care about fame or fortune and is gentle and courteous, but there are actually many experts hidden in his mansion."
"Our people didn't dare to get too close and just watched from a distance."
Several times, they almost lost the Second Prince, which shows how vigilant he was.
The prince thought of something, "Gao Peng, keep an eye on Gao Peng for me."
Since Gao Peng was involved in the murder of his mother back then, he must be highly valued by Concubine Liang.
Since it is difficult to take action against the Second Prince and Concubine Liang, we will try to pry open a loophole from Gao Peng's side.
"You keep an eye on the outside of the palace, and I'll have someone keep an eye on the inside of the palace."
In short, if we keep a close eye on Gao Peng, we will definitely be able to obtain some information.
The prince now does not dare to trust anyone else 100% except for a few confidants.
He still needs to screen the people around him before he can hire them.
In particular, there was no telling how many spies Concubine Liang had planted in the Eastern Palace.
After all, before he got married, Concubine Liang had always helped to manage the palace affairs of the Eastern Palace, and when he got married, Concubine Liang also participated from beginning to end.
It can be said that in the past ten years or so, Concubine Liang's presence was too obvious around him, and he really should carefully identify who those loyal servants around him were loyal to.
-
After all, Lu Jiangnian had limited manpower, so he left some people to protect the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion and took some people to southern Xinjiang. He also deployed manpower on the Second Prince's side. There were also people keeping an eye on the Gao family and Liang Yusong.
He couldn't take care of Liang Shangjiong.
It was Liang Shangjiong who led the effort to send people to the Yuan family this time.
Therefore, Xuanying did not discover this important thing.
Thanks to the recent chaos in the Liang family, Liang Shangjiong and Madam Liang were so busy that they had no time to take care of the trivial affairs of the Weiguo Mansion.
Mrs. Liang temporarily handed over the household affairs to the second wife.
Liang Nian took the opportunity to instigate several servants of the main house to rebel.
This is also thanks to the pervert Liang Zhi.
Ever since he became a disabled person, he has been like a madman. The servants who serve him at home are all afraid that they might be killed by him by accident.
Almost every day, someone was carried out of Liang Zhi's room, either dead or disabled, it was a horrible sight.
The one who suffered the most was the young maid in the family.
These people were all raised by their parents. Although their status is not high, who doesn't have relatives and friends?
In addition, when the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. Seeing such a tragic end, the servants in the main house of Duke Weiguo were all in danger, fearing that they would have bad luck and be chosen to serve Liang Zhi.
Under such circumstances, Liang Nian's operation became easier.
Those who had looked down on the second branch before, now very easily agreed to be Liang Nian's insider for revenge and to save their lives.
Today, the spy from the first house brought Liang Nian a shocking news.
