I won't kill him.
Xining Street, Lu Mansion.
The two who came to the house to "sound out the situation" ran into the Minister of Justice coming out of the house.
Ren Xuan looked at Lu Shi'an, and as expected, he saw some surprise under Lu Shi'an's slightly raised eyebrows. Is Lu Xiyun so sensible now?
In Ren Xuan's memory, Lu Xiyun was a person of very good family background, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry about those 500 secret soldiers and the dog emperor.
In the hall, Prince Lu was flipping through something behind the desk. When I walked closer, I saw that it was a volume of "Qianyuan Criminal Law".
Ren Xuan clasped his fists and bowed, his voice steady: "Prince."
The other party seemed to know his purpose. Lu Xiyun put down the book and said, "You don't need to worry about Qin Shu's affairs."
Ren Xuan: “?!”
Lu Xiyun continued, "He won't be killed. Lord He said that the most he will get is exile. My uncle promised that he will follow the rules."
Ren Xuan: “?!!”
Ren Xuan suddenly understood a little bit - why Qin Shu didn't care about Lu Xiyun back then.
Given the dog emperor's declining moral level, it is really ungrateful for him to intervene in Lu Xiyun.
Ren Xuan vaguely realized that he seemed to have misjudged something.
Ren Xuan had always believed that Lu Xiyun's defense of Qin Shu amidst the criticism from the entire court was out of personal feelings.
Now it seems that the reason why she could hug Lu Xingchuan and cry in her previous life might be because Lu Xiyun really felt that it was not Qin Shu's fault for breaking the Wu Ni ban.
This time, Qin Shu admitted to the drunken assault himself. His attitude was clear, and the facts were clear. Even with Master Lu's level of awareness, he might not be able to help.
Ren Xuan had a headache. Even if Lu Xingchuan was a master of killing Qin Shu, it was impossible for him to kill the prince of the court with just Lu Jie.
But if Lord Lu does it first and then takes a step back appropriately when the time comes, perhaps this case will be dealt with leniently and severely.
General Ren spoke weakly, "Prince...exile...isn't that bad?!"
Lu Xiyun hesitated for a moment, then said in a tangled tone, "Try to find a way to work around it? I can protect him at Liuxi Mansion."
Your flexibility... is not flexible at all. General Ren was speechless.
Glancing to the side, I saw that Lu Shian's eyes were serious and he looked like he was thinking seriously. He was actually thinking seriously.
Lu Shian nodded thoughtfully: "Exile is good."
Ren Xuan: “?!!”
His teammates changed their minds at the last minute, and Ren Xuan had no choice but to fight alone, leading the case towards the direction of conspiracy theory.
Ren Xuan stepped forward, lowering his voice and speaking in a tone that became more secretive: "Your Highness, you don't know that all of this is a trap carefully laid by the Han Wang Party."
"A conspiracy? A trap—?"
The cold and gloomy voice interrupted Ren Xuan's conspiracy theory that was about to unfold.
Lu Xingchuan cast a shadow at the doorway, his face as cold as a knife: "Ren Xuan, according to our criminal law, anyone who criticizes or frames the crown prince shall be executed."
"Uncle." Lu Xiyun immediately stood up from his seat: "Why are you here?"
The sunlight slanted in from the window frame behind Lu Xingchuan, giving him a layer of pale gold.
Lu Xingchuan's eyes swept over Ren Xuan and Lu Shi'an like a hawk swooping down on its prey, then he turned to Lu Xiyun and said in a slightly softer voice, "His Majesty is going to Shengde Temple to pray for blessings, and he wants you to come along."
Ren Xuan already understood in his mind that Lu Xingchuan was clearly trying to get Lu Xiyun away.
Before he could think about it, Lord Lu's gaze had already been cast over him: "General Ren, please tell us in detail what the Second Prince is plotting."
Ren Xuan knelt down immediately. Of course, he could tell Lu Jie all his plans, but it would be useless.
The Lord Lu in front of him had other intentions than drinking, and everything was just an excuse. Ren Xuan knew exactly what he was doing and when.
If he started arguing with Lu Xingchuan now, he would definitely get into trouble. Ren Xuan decisively admitted his mistake and said respectfully, "I dare not."
"If you don't dare, then don't come to places you shouldn't be in all the time. Go back and tell your master—"
Halfway through his words, Lu Xingchuan's eyes suddenly became sharp and his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen something incredible.
He tore open the fabric at Lu Xiyun's collar with a quick and fierce movement. The sound of the cloth being torn was particularly harsh in the quiet room.
Lu Xingchuan's fingertips trembled slightly as he saw the talisman, like ink, lightly emerging beneath the skin, its complexity forming a self-contained order. Like a lightly painted ink painting, it was seared into his bones and blood by some power.
Lu Xingchuan's expression suddenly changed. The coldness in his eyes instantly turned into a complex mixture of shock and anger. His breathing became rapid. "Ancient Seal Soul Contract, who did you sign it with?!"
Lu Xingchuan's eyebrows were furious, and veins on his forehead were bulging: "Where have you signed your name these days?!"
Lu Xiyun shook his head and said nothing.
"Let's not worry about that for now—" Lu Xingchuan called the servants outside the door and said, "Take the prince to see Elder Feng and Elder Jin."
The iron-clad guard clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please pray for the blessing of Shengde Temple. The two elders have already set off."
Lu Xingchuan didn't hesitate: "Then go directly to Shengde Temple, and remember to let the two elders take a good look."
After hurriedly sending his nephew away, Lu Xingchuan drew his sword and rushed out.
Lu Xingchuan pointed directly at Ren Xuan: "You bastard! Did Qin Shu do this?!"
Facing the gleaming blade, Ren Xuan was also surprised, and was also at a loss as to what to do.
Ren Xuan was worried. Although Qin Shu was the only person who was close to Lu Xiyun, had the ability and motivation to do this, he would not be the second choice.
But even if the emperor did something like this, he wouldn't tell him...
People's instantaneous reactions cannot be deceived. Ren Xuan didn't know this. Lu Xingchuan took the knife and already had the answer in his mind.
Lu Xingchuan's face was gloomy: "Ren Xuan, listen to me."
"Give your master the following words."
"My nephew, Lu Xingchuan, if he dares to move, he should not be afraid of death."
"Before tomorrow, this spell cannot be broken according to the rules of the sorcerer."
"Just follow my Lu Xingchuan's rules."
According to Lu Xingchuan's rules, all possible people who signed the contract should be killed.
···
Something happened, something big happened, the dog emperor was on Lu Xingchuan's blacklist.
What's even worse is that the emperor went to Shengde Temple to worship Buddha. Now in the capital, Lu Xingchuan's words are more effective than those of the King of Hell.
In order to prevent the dog emperor from being killed in prison, Ren Xuanxin opened the Yanshu group chat with a sympathetic look on his face.
Obviously, Ren Xuan was the only one who thought this way. Everyone in the Yanshu group was faced with the shocking news that "the emperor was about to be killed."
The group of "loyal ministers" were extremely calm and composed.
The doctor cannot heal himself: "Don't worry, you won't die."
Guanwai Tieyi: "It's just a small battle. There are many more dangerous ones than this. It's not like we haven't seen it before. How could he really get into trouble this time?"
This group of people who like to watch the fun and make trouble... Ren Xuan felt that he should change his name to the most loyal of the big guys.
Ren Xuan pondered for a moment, trying to elevate the seriousness of the matter.
The Dog Emperor: "But... Lu Xingchuan discovered the ancient seal soul contract on Lu Xiyun."
This time, the effect is outstanding.
Guanwai Tieyi: "Qin Shu's?! Fuck!"
A passerby said: "Are you crazy? This is something that can kill you?!!"
A single tree cannot make a forest: "He left a backup plan on Lu Xiyun. In this life, the emperor doesn't even trust Lu Xiyun?"
A doctor who cannot heal himself: "He deserves to be called a lonely man."
Kill the Dog Emperor: "...Anyway, Lu Xingchuan wants to kill the Dog Emperor. Everyone, come up with a solution quickly."
The topic returned to Qin Shu, and the bosses fell silent again. Only one gentleman lived up to Ren Xuan's high hopes.
The most loyal of all: "What else do you want? Protect His Highness!!"
The doctor cannot heal himself: "Okay, go ahead."
The most loyal of all: "?!!"
A single tree cannot make a forest: "Rappropriating a prison shouldn't require a large military force."
Seeing the big guys talking about rebellion so nonchalantly, Ren Xuan felt sad.
The Dog-Dead Emperor: […If they robbed the prison, then there’s no way to clear this up even if you jump into the Yellow River.]
But the bosses remain calm.
A single tree cannot make a forest: [What are you afraid of? I've even memorized the Regicide Qin Shu, so this is just a piece of cake.]
Passerby here: [The sooner you reflect, the less worries you will have.]
Taking a look at all those people who were watching the fun and not minding the trouble, Ren Xuan had no choice but to pick out the only one who looked like a loyal minister to coax.
The Dog-Slaying Emperor: [Brother Zhong, I see that you are the only one here who is His Majesty Prince Xiang's most loyal minister.]
The most loyal of all the great men: "Brother Gou, no need to say more! Help me!!"
···
In the Ministry of Justice's prison, the uninvited guest sat down.
Wen Congren spoke frankly and bluntly: "Your Highness, bad news, the Marquis of Guangning has set his sights on you."
Qin Shu was well aware of Lu Xingchuan's actions in the court over the past two days.
But the person behind Lu Xingchuan is not someone else, but his father.
It is not a wise move to openly resist the imperial power.
What's more, Qin Shu himself was also confused about Lu Xingchuan's targeting.
Qin Shu didn't remember where he had offended Lu Xingchuan.
Qin Shu pretended to sigh: "My Lord, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
"Then I will be frank. Taking your life is not my intention. If Your Highness is willing to compromise, I am willing to clean up the mess for you."
"concession?"
"I, Wen, dare to ask Your Highness to leave the capital and be sealed."
"Do you think the king will agree to your request?"
"I don't know." Wen Congren shook his head and smiled: "But the way is found by trial and error, isn't it?"
"Those who want to kill you are on their way, and those who want to rob you are also on their way. You don't have much time left." Wen Congren sighed softly. "Leaving here would be a rebellion. Are you sure you want to take this step?"
Qin Shu frowned unconsciously. Wen Congren was saying something he couldn't understand again.
Qin Shu knew that Lu Xingchuan had some opinions about him, but Lu Jieren was not dead after all. Even if Lu Xingchuan made a big deal out of it, it would not be to the point of killing him.
Wen Congren didn't explain much. The boy stood up and looked down at him. Wen Congren had a complicated expression, but he still didn't understand what he was saying: "Think carefully about your path. Your current path is different from before, but that doesn't mean it's a better path."
Wen Congren raised his hand, and a light blue ball of light floated in the palm of the boy's hand. The gradually taking shape ball of light was pushed in front of Qin Shu's eyes.
"What you want—" Wen Congren lowered his eyes, sighed and disappeared silently: "The answer."
Under normal circumstances, Qin Shu would never touch this strange thing whose origin he did not know.
But he wanted to know—
Qin Shu wanted to know what Wen Congren meant by "once again" that day.
Qin Shu grabbed the ball of light in his hand, and the next moment, a pain as dense as needles swept through his limbs.
Qin Shu felt as if his six souls and seven spirits were about to be pulled out of his body. On the eve of his consciousness returning to chaos, he heard Wen Congren speak again.
"Just think of it as a dream."
