Chapter 192 Xiang Qianqian is determined to go all out
Xiang Qianqian clearly felt that the Sixth Prince was looking at her with an unfriendly look.
It felt like being stared at by a poisonous snake in the abyss, and there was a danger of being killed at any time.
She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sixth Prince, Miss Lu, I really didn't see anything. I, I was knocked unconscious by my elder sister Xiangying, and I woke up here. The cabinet door was closed and I didn't see anything!"
Lu Panchu glared at her: "It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. If I let you out and say something nonsense, will my reputation still be in jeopardy?"
As she spoke, she looked at the Sixth Prince: "Why don't you do it? My father will come with people soon. If she tells everything, it will be a disaster for the Sixth Prince!"
The most frightening thing in this world is talking about people behind their backs.
Almost as soon as Lu Panchu finished speaking, the voice of Governor Lu exclaimed was heard outside the door.
"Chu Chu, Daddy's Chu Chu! Are you here?"
Accompanied by the noisy footsteps of many people, Lu Panchu and others in the house heard them shouting outside.
"It's on fire, the backyard is on fire, put it out!"
"Master, this is the only room that has not been searched. The young lady might be inside!"
Lu Panchu was startled when she heard the voice, it was the voice of her maid.
Governor Lu had already reached the door and found it was locked, so he ordered the person next to him, "Kick the door open!"
Lu Panchu's face was pale, and the Sixth Prince's expression was also grim and ugly.
"What should I do... My father brought a lot of people here. If what happened tonight gets out, both you and I will..."
Lu Panchu seemed to think of the scene of being criticized by thousands of people and her reputation being ruined. She immediately covered her face and started crying.
The Sixth Prince also knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.
Yan Jing had already betrayed him, even if he explained that he and Lu Panchu had done nothing and were trapped in the house.
But Lu Panchu's possession of Chinese medicine could not be hidden from the eyes of Lu Taishou.
This is a dilemma.
Xiang Qianqian's eyes changed and she seized the opportunity.
She hurriedly said, "I, I can take Miss Lu's place. As long as I admit that I was the one with the Sixth Prince tonight, I should be able to preserve Miss Lu's innocence and protect the Sixth Prince at the same time, right?"
Lu Panchu stopped crying and looked up at her: "Do you really think so?"
The Sixth Prince stared at her in confusion: "Aren't you afraid that your reputation will also be ruined?"
Xiang Qianqian smiled bitterly, showed sympathy, and comforted her, "I am an exiled female prisoner, and I have been brought to the enemy country. Why should I be afraid of what others say?"
The people called by Governor Lu had already started banging on the door.
Xiang Qianqian urged the Sixth Prince: "Your Highness! Make a decision quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Lu Panchu hurriedly tugged at the Sixth Prince's sleeve.
"Hurry up and agree! My innocence must be preserved, and what happened tonight should be treated as if it never happened."
The Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiang Qianqian: "Are you sure you can keep your mouth shut?"
Xiang Qianqian nodded quickly to express her loyalty.
"After tonight, Qianqian will be your Highness's person to the outside world. How could Qianqian go out and say something that would affect your Highness?"
The Sixth Prince nodded slowly: "Okay, but if you go back on your word and team up with Xiangying to frame me, I promise to let you know what it feels like to be torn into pieces by five horses."
When he said this, there was no vicious expression on his face, but it inexplicably made people feel a chill down their backs.
Xiang Qianqian quickly lowered her head: "Don't worry, Your Highness."
This is what she has been longing for!
Governor Lu ignored the flames burning everywhere in his mansion and focused on finding his daughter.
At the banquet tonight, all the soldiers had stomach problems, and someone set fire to the backyard. He had a hunch that something was wrong.
More importantly, Xie Chen and the Sixth Prince are both missing.
Governor Lu was worried that something might happen, so he rushed to find his daughter as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Lu Panchu was nowhere to be found, especially her personal maid, who was knocked unconscious by someone and thrown into the woodshed.
According to the maid herself, Lu Panchu probably never came back after she went to find Xiangying.
So the prefect Lu led his men to find this place.
Just as his men kicked the door open completely, a woman's scream was heard from the bed.
The governor of Lu was struck by lightning. With a cold face, he quickly walked over and lifted the quilt.
Seeing the white body of a woman, Xiang Qianqian screamed and hid in the arms of the Sixth Prince.
After seeing clearly that it was Xiang Qianqian and not his precious daughter, Governor Lu showed a look of surprise.
"This...how could it be you..." He turned around and saw the Sixth Prince staring at him with cold eyes.
"Lu Hong, you are quite cunning. You drugged me. Fortunately, Miss Qianqian was kind and righteous, willing to sacrifice herself and give up her innocence. Otherwise, I would have exploded and died from your drug."
The Sixth Prince was the first to frame and put the blame on Governor Lu.
He stared at Governor Lu and said, "Is this how you treat guests? You actually set up a Hongmen Banquet to plot against me?"
Xiang Qianqian sobbed softly in his arms: "Your Highness, please make the decision for Qianqian."
Governor Lu was stunned and immediately knelt on the ground to explain.
"Your Highness, please understand. How could I have the guts to frame you in my own residence? There must be something strange going on here!"
It's really strange to say.
This is Xiangying's room, but the Sixth Prince is making out with Xiangying's sister here?
Governor Lu always felt that something was fishy, but before he could think about it carefully, the Sixth Prince had already stood up, put on his clothes, and left a word.
"I'll give you one night to figure this out. If you can't figure out the reason, I'll hold you accountable!"
After saying that, he took Xiang Qianqian away.
Governor Lu slapped his forehead anxiously: "How could this happen!"
The butler came up and asked, "Master, should we send the servants over to question us now?"
Governor Lu glared and said, "What are you talking about? The most important thing is to find the young lady! She's not here. Go look for her in the front yard. Hurry up!"
He left with a large number of servants. When he was leaving, he saw a piece of goose yellow dress stuck in the gap of the cabinet door.
It looks exactly like the color his daughter likes to wear.
Governor Lu frowned and left thoughtfully.
Not long after they left, the cabinet door opened and Lu Panchu tiptoed out and ran towards his yard.
After a while, she pretended to be drugged and asked her maid to tell Governor Lu. Then the father and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Governor Lu choked up and said, "Father thought you were kidnapped by criminals!"
Lu Panchu gnashed his teeth and said, "Father, I was knocked unconscious and locked in the cellar. I just ran out by myself. I suspect there is an insider who is working with the criminals. You must investigate thoroughly!"
Otherwise, how could she drink the problematic medicine?
Governor Lu subconsciously said, "Could it be Xiangying who did it? You trusted her too much and gave her too much freedom to walk around the backyard. Maybe she took advantage of this to do something!"
"Impossible!" Lu Panchu denied it bluntly, "She has the opportunity to contact me every day. If she really did it, there would be no need to go to such great lengths."
The most important thing is that Xiangying doesn’t have the ability to lure the Sixth Prince over there.
Lu Panchu was very clear about this.
When Governor Lu saw his daughter's determined denial, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes again.
I always feel like she's hiding something from me.
One night, things changed in the prefectural government.
Most of the houses were burned, even the toilets were set on fire. It was said that Cao Ming and a group of team leaders rushed out with their butts on fire.
All the soldiers at the banquet suffered from diarrhea, which was not stopped until dawn after they took medicine.
With so many things piling up at the same time, Governor Lu could only thoroughly investigate the matter of the Sixth Prince's Chinese medicine.
Unexpectedly, Governor Lu led people to search the house everywhere, and found a secret letter and a packet of unused aphrodisiac in Cao Ming's room.
