Chapter 359 Lu Jiangnian is about to leave Beijing
Yuan Wanru frowned and was about to step forward to take the pulse when she was suddenly met with a pair of cold eyes - Aunt Shen was staring at her, and the look in her eyes seemed to be poisoned, which made people shudder.
"Why is Aunt Shen looking at me like that?" Yuan Wanru asked with a raised eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her voice.
Aunt Shen finally came to her senses and immediately put on an indignant expression: "The eldest young lady is so arrogant!"
"After all, the old lady is our elder. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for making her angry like this?"
Her voice was trembling, as if she was extremely angry.
Zhou Fang also blamed Yuan Wanru for her harsh words. If she really made the old lady angry and something bad happened, Lu Bai would definitely make a big fuss when he came back.
She glanced at Yuan Wanru, only to see that she looked calm and showed no sign of panic.
Yuan Wanru sneered and walked forward slowly, each step carrying a sense of oppression: "Madam Shen, you use the word 'we' very smoothly."
She stopped in front of Aunt Shen, looking down at this aunt who had never had a sense of existence, "Don't forget your status - you are just a concubine of lowly origin, how can you be so eloquent as to boss me around?"
She stared at Aunt Shen and said in a grim tone: "Everyone has the right to say something here, except you."
The fingertip almost poked Aunt Shen's nose, "You are not qualified!"
Zhou Fang opened her mouth but didn't dare to say anything.
She was really afraid of this evil star.
The last time I was disciplined is still fresh in my mind.
She didn't want to waste her money anymore and wanted to save it for her son to get married.
The room was completely silent, with only the faint moans of Madam Lu.
Wang Min felt relieved but also a little worried when she saw her daughter-in-law killing everyone.
At this time, hurried footsteps and the maid's report were heard outside. The doctor finally arrived.
The doctor hurried in with a medicine box. Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the room, he did not dare to ask more questions and quickly checked Mrs. Lu's pulse. He held the old lady's wrist and his frown gradually relaxed.
"The old lady is suffering from a heart attack due to anxiety, and her qi and blood are rushing up." The doctor withdrew his hand and took out a silver needle from the medicine box. "After acupuncture to relieve the pain, I will prescribe a prescription to calm her nerves and she will be fine."
"The old lady is in good health, but you still need to be careful about what you do."
Yuan Wanru stood aside and watched coldly.
She could have taken action and taken the opportunity to make Old Lady Lu suffer, but Aunt Shen's expression made her react and she withdrew her hand in time.
Since the doctor was there, she didn't bother to care.
The doctor concentrated on acupuncture. After a while, Mrs. Lu woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yuan Wanru standing not far away. She immediately became excited again: "You..."
"Madam, you should save your energy," Yuan Wanru said calmly, "If you faint again from anger, you'll have to give me another injection."
Wang Min couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to smooth things over: "Mother, you should take care of yourself first. I'll have someone copy a copy of my husband's letter for you to review."
"Who wants to copy it!" Mrs. Lu insisted, "I want to see the original letter!"
Yuan Wanru sneered and turned away: "Then you just wait slowly."
-
At night, everyone left.
Wang Mincai took out the letter and handed it to Lu Jiangnian, "Take a look."
Lu Jiangnian unfolded the secret letter sent by Lu Song from the northern border, and his brows gradually furrowed.
The letter reads:
My son Jiang Nian, the northern border has been in turmoil recently. Someone wanted to cast a spell on me. Fortunately, I was prepared and did not let the thief succeed. This man is a general under my command. He is usually loyal and devoted. This time he suddenly took action. There must be someone behind it. I have reported this matter to the emperor. You also need to be more careful. Father.
Yuan Wanru sat beside him, and seeing his serious expression, she asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lu Jiangnian handed the letter to her and said in a deep voice: "Someone wants to cast a spell on Dad."
Yuan Wanru's eyes shone: "It seems that their hands are long enough"
Lu Jiangnian nodded: "Fortunately, Dad listened to me and didn't let them succeed."
I don't know what kind of Gu it is. If I want to solve it as easily as I did with the Lianzhi Gu, wouldn't that make my wife tired again?
Wang Min looked worried: "They are targeting our family. Now that Liang Zhi is dead, I'm afraid we will fight to the death with them."
Lu Jiangnian sneered: "No problem, we will fight back if the enemy comes."
"Besides, mother is wrong. We have been at war with them for a long time."
As he was talking, hurried footsteps were heard outside. Xuan Qing hurried in and knelt on one knee: "Prince, someone is coming from the palace."
Why send someone over here so late at night?
The person who came was a eunuch who was employed by the emperor. Lu Jiangnian was quite familiar with him. He came only to convey one message: "The emperor has ordered that Lord Lu come to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning."
Lu Jiangnian naturally agreed.
However, he quietly took out a purse and handed it over: "The emperor's decree came so suddenly that I am unsure what it is about."
The man did not refuse and handed over the money generously. After all, he had dealt with Lu Jiangnian a lot, so he was happy to do him a favor.
"It's strange that after meeting Madam Zhaohua, the Emperor met Master Chen again."
Lu Jiangnian understood. It seemed that this matter was closely related to Madam Zhaohua and her faction.
-
The next morning, Lu Jiangnian went to the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor was reviewing memorials. When he saw him come in, he said calmly, "The Qingzhou prefect embezzled disaster relief funds. This has a bad impact. I have thought about it and I think I can rest assured only if you investigate."
Lu Jiangnian bowed his head and said, "I accept your order."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I know you have worked hard. When you come back this time, it's time to move your position."
Lu Jiangnian's eyes flickered. "It is my duty to serve the emperor. I am ashamed to hear your words."
After he received the news last night, he asked Xuanying to contact the prince. Due to the tight time schedule, he did not find out many things clearly.
However, the news from the prince at this time was mostly related to Madam Zhaohua.
Moreover, Concubine Liang is also not free from blame.
-
Lu Jiangnian left the palace with a gloomy look on his face.
What is the purpose of this plan?
He thought that the possibility of assassinating him again was not great.
Those people who came last time must have been the Second Prince’s elite troops. The Second Prince no longer has the strength to assassinate him again.
Then, it can only be to transfer him away from the capital.
What are they going to do?
Why would the emperor agree?
Lu Jiangnian paused. It seemed that the emperor would take advantage of this time to settle accounts with the second prince.
Your Majesty, you probably want to see the prince’s reaction after the incident.
At the same time, the emperor was still worried about his relationship with the prince, so he deliberately sent him away.
-
He hurried back home and told Yuan Wanru what had happened.
"Qingzhou?"
Yuan Wanru frowned: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to stay at home and recuperate? Why are you being transferred out of Beijing at this time?"
Lu Jiangnian was silent for a moment: "Someone deliberately sent me away, and the emperor took advantage of the situation."
He was a little worried: "If I leave the capital, the Second Prince will most likely deal with you. It will definitely be bad for you."
Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
Lu Jiangnian frowned: "I can't rest assured, otherwise, you can go with me."
This sentence is also confusing.
There were also officials from the Dali Temple accompanying him, and Lu Jiangnian was only the chief officer.
He can't take Yuan Wanru with him.
Yuan Wanru's eyes flashed with cunning: "I have many tricks. Do you think they will definitely win against me?"
Having said that, Lu Jiangnian was indeed worried.
But he had no choice but to leave.
"If you have any problem, go find Sun Huanzhi. He can help you."
The prince was in the East Palace, making it inconvenient for him to travel, so Sun Huanzhi was easy to find.
For the sake of his wife's safety, he had to put aside his jealousy for the time being.
Come to think of it, Sun Huanzhi wouldn't be so despicable. Besides, my wife has deep feelings for him, so Sun Huanzhi is nothing!
Yuan Wanru felt warm in her heart and said softly, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will be fine."
