Chapter 963 He Wants Tang Ning
Yu Yanfeng and the other two stayed behind, and the Lu family's house was guarded inside and out. The attic where Lu Zhinian was located was surrounded by layers of barriers, and not even a fly could escape. Outside the Lu family's house, even the nearby streets and alleys were filled with secret guards, and everyone was preventing Lu Zhinian from escaping.
Those people who were originally searching everywhere in the capital stopped searching, and the streets of the market town returned to calm. However, some people keenly noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and there seemed to be a dark atmosphere in the capital, as if a storm was about to come.
When Feng Qiuli and Xue Ru returned to the palace in a carriage, Cao Dejiang also hurried into the palace. When Rong Yue and others who were waiting for news in Yongzhao Palace learned that all this was done by Lu Zhinian, everyone looked grim.
“It’s actually him!”
Rong Yue gritted her teeth: "After all these things, he is still alive, and he even dares to come back to the capital. He is simply a ghost that won't go away!"
Cao Dejiang saw that Feng Qiuli and the others looked unhappy, and the usually gentle Xue Ru had a murderous look on her face. Moreover, when the two returned, they did not stay with Lu Zhinian, and even Yu Yanfeng did not follow them. He asked directly: "What did Lu Zhinian want in exchange for poisoning the queen?"
He paused, frowned and said:
"The foundation he had planned for Beiling has been completely destroyed. Beiling Khan Huyan Min is missing, and Princess Wuya has disappeared. Now he's being hunted by the remaining tribes of Beiling Commandery, and he has nowhere to hide in Wei. He went to such great lengths to poison the Empress. Is he trying to hold her life hostage?"
"If it's just money, power, or letting him leave Wei to start a new life somewhere else, I can agree to it first. Even if the request is excessive, it doesn't matter, as long as it can save the Queen."
Hearing this, Rong Yue quickly agreed: "Yes, no matter what he wants, as long as he is willing to save Tang Ning, we can agree to it. If the court is not enough, there is still the Gu family. Even if the Gu family doesn't have it, we can still find a way. As long as he is willing to help Tang Ning detoxify!"
Rong Yue hated Lu Zhinian so much and wished he would die immediately, but she also understood that Tang Ning's life was now in Lu Zhinian's hands.
He captured Madam Qin, and he was the only one in the world who could detoxify Tang Ning. So even if Rong Yue hated her and wanted to cut him into pieces, she was willing to agree to his conditions to save Tang Ning.
As long as Tang Ning is safe, everything else will be easy.
But who knew that Feng Qiuli and Xue Ru remained silent after hearing this.
Rong Yue frowned: "Aru?"
Xue Ru pursed her lips tightly and looked gloomy: "He doesn't want these things."
"Then what does he want?" Rong Yue frowned.
Cao Dejiang had a bad feeling when he saw the two of them, and Feng Qiuli's words left him stunned.
"Lu Zhinian wants the Queen."
Everyone present was stunned. They didn't react to what Feng Qiuli meant at first. They thought Lu Zhinian wanted the Queen to do something, but when they met Feng Qiuli's eyes, they were startled. Concubine Zhaogui was full of surprise. Rong Yue first widened her eyes, and after a moment, her hand fell heavily on the table beside her.
"Is he crazy?"
Feng Qiuli frowned, "He's definitely a little crazy."
He didn't know what Lu Zhinian had experienced, nor did he know why he had become what he was now. However, the paranoia and madness that Lu Zhinian had displayed when he mentioned the Empress Dowager at the Lu family just now was shocking.
The madness of wanting to take the queen away is not fake, and the paranoia of wanting to die with the queen is also real.
Feng Qiuli took a deep breath. "Lu Zhinian is inexplicably obsessed with the Empress. I told him we could give him anything else, but he refused to give in. He went to great lengths to sneak into the capital this time just to take the Empress away."
"He's the only one who can cure the poison in the Empress' body. He said that either the Empress should be handed over to him and he would detoxify her after he and the Empress leave, or the Empress should die with him."
Rong Yue gritted her teeth: "This lunatic!!"
Concubine Zhao Gui was a little frightened: "Is there no other way?"
Feng Qiuli shook her head. "He hid Madam Qin, and the Empress couldn't wait until we found her. Lu Zhinian has nothing left now, no weaknesses, and he doesn't care about his own life."
If he doesn't care about something, it means he is willing to give up everything and they have nothing that can threaten him.
Rong Yue was a little unsteady on her feet. She pulled Xue Ru and asked anxiously, "Aru, is Lu Zhinian really like this?"
Xue Ru's face turned pale. She bit her lip and said, "Master Feng and I talked to him a few times. He said it all. If we don't give my sister to him, he really plans to die with her."
That Lu Zhinian is really crazy.
Everyone in the side hall was extremely quiet. No one had expected that Lu Zhinian had gone to such great lengths to plan and cause such a big mess just to take Tang Ning away. He actually didn't even want power, status, gold, silver, and wealth.
But how could Tang Ning leave with him?
Lu Zhinian is a madman, a madman who has nothing.
Not to mention that Tang Ning is the queen of Wei. If she follows Lu Zhinian, no one can guarantee what will happen to her in the future. Even if Lu Zhinian detoxifies Tang Ning as agreed, Lu Zhinian is still obsessed with Tang Ning, and there is also the entanglement between the two in the past.
Tang Ning was alone with his wife, and once the news got out, his reputation would be ruined.
The most important thing is, once Lu Zhinian is allowed to take Tang Ning away from the capital, who can guarantee Tang Ning's safety in the future?
