Chapter 962 You are a lunatic!!
"Lu Zhinian, how dare you!"
Xue Ru looked at Lu Zhinian with murderous eyes.
Lu Zhinian's eyes were filled with madness: "What am I afraid of now?"
"Xiao A'ru, your sister is mine. If you don't return her to me, then let her die with me."
When he left the capital, he wanted to take Tang Ning with him, but Xiao Yan was powerful at that time, and he had lost the support of the Lu family. He could only watch Tang Ning being deceived by Xiao Yan, and watch Xiao Yan rise higher and higher after regaining his status, and finally become the emperor of Wei.
He knew that he was no match for Xiao Yan, so after going to Beiling, he climbed up madly, wanting to gain power by any means necessary, and using everything he could to seize the imperial power of Beiling, just to be able to snatch Tang Ning back from Xiao Yan one day.
But who knew that Beiling would actually be defeated, and he also lost the opportunity to compete openly with Xiao Yan.
Lu Zhinian was unwilling to accept this.
He wanted Tang Ning, wanted her madly. In the past two years, he had dreamed of the time on Queshan Mountain countless times. He did not leave in anger, nor did he abandon Tang Ning in the dense forest covered with ice and snow. Tang Ning still held onto his clothes as before, and said with a look of dependence and joy, "Brother Lu, I like you so much."
He had nightmares every night and couldn't sleep well. He was tormented by headaches every day and was almost going crazy.
But the last time he entered the palace as Zhu Xiyan, even though he had never gotten close to her, even though he had no intimate contact, just a glance from a distance, his headache was suppressed and had not recurred for several days. As long as he was with Tang Ning, he could feel the long-lost peace and comfort.
Tang Ning is his medicine.
She was destined to be his!!
Lu Zhinian was full of paranoia. He had lived enough in the past two years. The pain and torture made him live a life worse than death. If he couldn't get Tang Ning, he would go crazy sooner or later. Instead of that, he would rather let Tang Ning die with him. He would be willing to have her accompany him to the underworld.
Lu Zhinian spoke each word with great emphasis: "If we can't live together, then it's fine if we can die together. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for your sister on the Naihe Bridge."
"You lunatic..."
Xue Ru looked at the crazy man and was frightened by the paranoia in his eyes. For the first time, she felt afraid and her lips trembled.
"Lu Zhinian, you are simply a lunatic!!"
Lu Zhinian let go of his hand, and after the madness on his face faded away, the casual and gentle appearance he had previously disguised also faded away.
"Since you know I'm crazy, you should understand that I mean what I say."
"I only want Tang Ning, nothing else. Let her live with me, or let her die with me. It's your choice."
"you!"
Xue Ru's hands were shaking, and she wished she could kill Lu Zhinian directly.
Feng Qiuli could not hide her disgust. Even though she knew that Lu Zhinian had ulterior motives before coming here, she had never expected that he would come here to take the queen away.
He knew about the entanglements between the Queen and the Lu family when she was still in the boudoir, and he also knew how Lu Zhinian treated the Queen in the past. At that time, he despised and humiliated the Queen so much that the Queen lost her heart. Now he was even pestering her in the name of deep love. How could there be such a disgusting person in this world?
Feng Qiuli clenched his fists again and again, wondering how likely it was that if he ordered his men to capture Lu Zhinian and torture him, he would be able to force him to surrender and spit out the antidote. However, the thought arose in his mind several times, but he forced himself to suppress it when facing the crazy and paranoid Lu Zhinian.
This is a madman, a madman who can slaughter his own relatives and cause the destruction of Beiling!
They can't afford the gamble.
Feng Qiuli reached out to stop the furious Xue Ru and said in a deep voice, "Lu Zhinian, you should know that what you are asking for is impossible."
"I know, but there are always chances, right?"
Lu Zhinian stroked his teacup and looked up. "Madam Qin once left Tang Ning an antidote pill. Imperial Physician Jiang's medical skills can suppress the poison, but I don't think it will last much longer. You can go back and think about whether you are willing to let Tang Ning go with me to save her life, or leave her in the palace to die."
He regained his composure and poured a fresh cup of tea into his palm.
"You don't have to order anyone to watch me. I will be waiting for you at the Lu Mansion."
"Wait for you to send Tang Ning here, or take my life."
Lu Zhinian acted as if his life and death were in their control and he didn't resist at all, which made Xue Ru full of resentment. Even Feng Qiuli, who was always calm, couldn't help but look frosty. She only regretted why she didn't eliminate this man when she dealt with the Lu family, leaving behind such a disgusting scourge!
…
The Lu family was under siege, with black-armored guards guarding inside and outside. Lu Zhinian didn't care at all. He just stood up and walked out of the pavilion, and went straight back to the attic with Song Mo and the other two.
Yu Yanfeng endured it again and again, and finally pulled Wu Kui along with him to avoid attacking Lu Zhinian. After seeing Feng Qiuli and the others come out, Yu Yanfeng dismissed his attendants and hurried forward: "Master Feng, have you and Miss Xue got the antidote?"
Feng Qiuli shook her head: "No."
Yu Yanfeng said anxiously: "The Queen's poison..."
"The poison was given by Lu Zhinian, and Madam Qin is also in his hands. He refuses to hand over the antidote." Feng Qiuli said.
Wu Kui's face turned stern. "Then I'll just take him to the Criminal Court. I don't believe there are such stubborn people in this world."
He knew the methods of the Criminal Department best. No matter who went in there, they would speak. He didn't believe that Lu Zhinian, a young man who was once pampered by a noble family, could withstand it. He always had a way to pry his mouth open!
But who knew that Feng Qiuli would shake her head upon hearing this: "The Criminal Secretary is indeed powerful, but Lu Zhinian is different. From the day he returned to the capital, he never intended to leave in one piece. If he can't achieve his desired goal, he would rather die in the capital with everyone else than reveal a single word."
Moreover, the queen is now poisoned and in a coma, and she only has one day left to live. They can't afford to gamble, nor do they dare to gamble.
Wu Kui swung his hands fiercely upon hearing this: "So that's it?"
Yu Yanfeng also frowned. "The Empress's condition cannot be delayed. Lord Feng, since you said Lu Zhinian wants to get what he wants, what exactly does he want? Regardless of power, status, fame, or wealth, the Empress's life is the most important thing right now. If there is no other way, just agree to his request first."
Now that His Majesty has been attacked and his life or death is unknown, and the little princess is still young, the Queen must not be in any danger. As long as the Queen is saved and the court is stabilized, it doesn't matter if some things are sacrificed. At worst, we can find an opportunity to deal with Lu Zhinian in the future.
Feng Qiuli's eyelids twitched when she heard this, and she looked at Yu Yanfeng and said:
"I really want to agree to him, but..."
They couldn't give Lu Zhinian what he wanted.
Feng Qiuli raised her hand to stop Yu Yanfeng and the other man who were about to speak, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I know what to do with Lu Zhinian. There are some things that Madam Xue and I can't decide. You two stay here and watch over Lu Zhinian. Madam Xue and I will go back to the palace."
