Chapter 52 The original heroine with no bottom line
It's really ironic that the heroine in the book is described as pure, kind and innocent.
However, the woman she met was so despicable as to resort to such dirty means in order to get a man. She had absolutely no bottom line!
She thought that before she was able to remove her identity as the eldest lady of the Lu family, Murong Ling was her biggest enemy.
I never expected that Liang Yusong was the biggest crisis.
Fortunately, she still had some means of self-protection, and she managed to escape successfully by taking advantage of the surprise attack.
Yuan Wanru was extremely fortunate that no one knew that she was good at medicine, otherwise if the enemy had used other means, she might not have had a chance to escape unscathed.
She looked at him calmly: "Could it be that they will let me go and find you first, and then deal with me?"
"Lu Jiangnian, you should know that I had no other choice at that time."
"Besides, I don't like waiting for others to save me, and I'm not used to relying on others."
When he met her clear gaze, his heart tightened.
After all, it was he who failed to protect her.
"You're right, you've done a good job, I shouldn't talk to you in that tone."
He calmly analyzed today's events, and after thinking about it, he still didn't understand who wanted to deal with her.
"This is the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess would never do such a thing. Murong Ling will be the first to bear the brunt of those who are hostile to you, but she has no connections in the Eastern Palace."
"The women of the Eastern Palace, as well as Xu Liangdi, Chen Liangyuan, and Liang Liangyuan, have no reason to deal with you."
Yuan Wanru lowered her eyes, and they became colder and colder.
Yes, the second prince is a few months younger than the crown prince and has been following the crown prince since he was a child. He is not as good as the crown prince in literature, nor as good as the third prince in martial arts. He is mediocre and is willing to play a supporting role and be the most obedient brother in front of the crown prince.
In the prince's heart, the second prince's status is only slightly lower than Lu Jiangnian.
The reason he almost succeeded was because he was a prince and posed a slight threat to the crown prince.
In addition, the second prince's mother, Concubine Liang, was extremely respectful and obedient to the late Empress Sun. The emperor once praised her personally, saying that Concubine Liang was the person who respected the Empress the most.
After Empress Sun passed away, the Crown Prince was very filial to Concubine Liang.
The Second Prince's wife, Lu, was a replica of Concubine Liang. Whenever she got something good, she would never forget to send a portion to the Eastern Palace.
Lu had been married to the Second Prince for nearly three years and had been going back and forth to the Eastern Palace every now and then. The Crown Princess trusted her very much. In name, they were sisters-in-law, but in emotional terms, they had long been sisters.
The Second Prince's family has such a close relationship with the Eastern Palace, who could believe that the Second Prince's wife would deal with Lu Jiangnian's wife?
But I don’t know whether the Second Prince Murong Xiao knows about this?
What is Murong Xiao's position?
Yuan Wanru was clearly aware that without hard evidence, no one would believe that the Second Prince's wife and Liang Yusong would go to such great lengths to plot against her.
If she told the truth easily, others would probably think she was crazy, and she might even be suspected of trying to sow discord between Lu Jiangnian and the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.
"Who knows? But we have arrested a few people. If we ask them, we may be able to find some clues."
Yuan Wanru did not hold out too much hope. It could be seen from the book that Lu was not an impulsive person. If she dared to take action, she would probably have been wiped out long ago.

When the two men found Liu Yan, the eunuch was still in a coma.
Yuan Wanru was quite confident about the knockout drug she produced, which could make eunuchs unconscious until night.
When Lu Jiangnian's eyes fell on the fingerprints on Liu Yan's neck, he gained a deeper understanding of the danger that had occurred before.
The person behind the scenes is well-planned, ruthless and not simple.
Being able to arrange such a thing in the East Palace, when he thought about it carefully, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Fortunately, the prince always thought that the Eastern Palace was under his control, so they were careless.
Lu Jiangnian went over everything, and the first person he suspected was the third prince Murong Ji.
The prince did not invite him today, but he insisted on coming and brought Zhao Liangfeng with him.
"When I was leaving the martial arts arena, a palace maid stopped me and said that you went to Ziyunxuan to change clothes and asked me to go over."
"She also said that Zhao Liangfeng also went to Ziyunxuan."
After saying this, he suddenly realized that Yuan Wanru might not have heard of Zhao Liangfeng's bad reputation.
"Have you heard of Zhao Liangfeng?"
Yuan Wanru's eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered her head and shook it, "I haven't heard of it."
But she didn't dare let Lu Jiangnian see her expression, otherwise he would suspect her again.
Of course she knew who Zhao Liangfeng was, because, in the book, in Ziyunxuan, the heroine met Zhao Liangfeng who was drunk and was verbally assaulted by him. It was Lu Jiangnian who stepped forward and saved the heroine from trouble.
That day in Wangchun Hall, when Wang Min mentioned Lu Yun's marriage, she remembered that the person Lu Yun ended up marrying was this damn Zhao Liangfeng.
Because this part of the plot happened very late, she didn't even think about it at first.
At the beginning, Lu Yun and Wan Bin got engaged smoothly. The two of them were in love and could have created a beautiful story.
However, an accident happened along the way. Lu Yun actually had a relationship with Zhao Liangfeng and had to become Zhao Liangfeng's concubine.
Whenever Yuan Wanru thought about how the simple and cheerful Lu Yun ended up becoming Zhao Liangfeng's concubine, she felt as if she had eaten a fly and was extremely sick.
Fortunately, this matter is not urgent, and she can still think carefully and help Lu Yun avoid this disaster.
"A despicable bug, let's not talk about it."
Lu Jiangnian didn't want to say more, and Yuan Wanru didn't want to listen either. She was curious: "Then why didn't you go?"
In the book, he and Liang Yusong had a little friction in Ziyunxuan, and the two had more interactions. From this time on, Liang Yusong began to send snacks to Lu Jiangnian in the name of repaying a favor.
After a few visits and meeting more often, I always find that he is a little different from others.
Lu Jiangnian sneered: "If I didn't know you, I would probably go."
"Although Ziyunxuan is close to the martial arts arena, it is far from Liuyun Pavilion. If it were an ordinary couple, if the woman got into trouble, she might be willing to wear dirty clothes and travel a long way to find her husband for comfort."
"But you wouldn't. You would just go to the nearest stable."
He looked at the smart and clever woman in front of him and continued, "You are not familiar with the Eastern Palace, and I specifically told Aunt Sun. How could she let you wear dirty clothes and walk through most of the Eastern Palace to change clothes at Ziyunxuan?"
"Aunt Sun wouldn't do such a disrespectful thing, and neither would you."
The analysis is quite correct.
But, if that’s the case, why did he go to Ziyunxuan in the book?
The details in the book were too subtle for her to remember, and now that this incident had not happened, she was destined to never find the answer to this question.
Lu Jiangnian continued the previous topic: "I have asked Xuanying to keep an eye on the palace maid who delivered the message."
"Leave this man to me. I will interrogate him later. Why don't you go back home first?"
Yuan Wanru looked at him firmly: "I want to be by your side while you interrogate me, is that okay?"
Lu Jiangnian frowned. Did she think that he could pry open these people's mouths just by talking?
How could she watch those bloody scenes?
