After hearing this, Lu Zichun was stunned for a long time.
After a while, he knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "It is my honor to follow you, sir."
Nangong Yu quickly helped him up and said, "Don't waste time. Let's go find the miracle doctor from Mingyue Island and see how to change the current situation."
"Okay." Lu Zichun nodded, and then he frowned, not knowing what he thought of.
"The head of the family and the Murong family have clearly decided to stand on the side of the eldest lady and protect her unconditionally. What is the young master going to do?"
Nangong Yu chuckled, "Do you think I have worked for nothing all these years? After you leave, go to the west of the city to find Mr. Li from the Hanlin Academy, tell him about this, ask him to write an article, and then go to Guihua Lane to find Mr. Gu, the censor--"
Lu Zichun was surprised. "Master Gu is famous for his impartiality and integrity. How could he be one of yours?"
Nangong Yu said calmly: "Just a friend, giving me some face."
The two discussed along the way and quietly went out through a small path.
As soon as he came to the path outside the arch, Nangong Yu discovered something unusual.
Only he and a few of his confidants knew about this path, because in the garden, the cobblestone path was lined with lush green grass and, now in spring, colorful wild flowers.
But now, the grass on the roadside shows obvious signs of being trampled.
Nangong Yu stopped and immediately grabbed Lu Zichun's sleeve, "Go! There's a problem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of guards suddenly appeared on the road ahead and surrounded them.
Nangong Yu's heart slowly sank.
An old man with white hair and beard slowly walked out from the guards. He was as tall as a crane, with a dignified demeanor, and his eyes were as sharp as swords.
Nangong Yu walked up and bowed as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
"grandfather."
Lu Zichun's heart was pounding, his mind was spinning, and he quickly followed suit and saluted, "Greetings, Master of the Family."
It seems that the master of the family has been waiting here for a long time!
Lu Zichun couldn't help but sigh that age is always more valuable. He secretly glanced at Nangong Yu, whose face was ashen, and felt complicated.
It seems that this is the case with Nangong Haitang, there is no room for maneuver.
Nangong Ruizheng waved his hand, "Get up, I knew you could escape, and you really didn't disappoint your grandfather."
Nangong Yu stood there stubbornly, as if he hadn't heard anything. He still bent over, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Nangong Ruizheng sighed.
"I know you are unhappy, but she is your aunt's only blood."
Nangong Yu said coldly, "If my aunt were still alive, she would kill her own daughter for the sake of justice if she knew that she had become such a bad person. Grandfather, have you ever thought about the souls who died unjustly while you were protecting her?"
At the end of his speech, Nangong Yu raised his head, veins bulging on his hands, and looked straight into Nangong Ruizheng's eyes.
Nangong Ruizheng, who had been upright all his life and dared to face any accusations, lowered his head for the first time in his life.
The sharp-minded old man showed some fatigue. "Ah Yu, my grandfather lived a life worthy of heaven and earth. Before he died, he wanted to leave a trace of blood for his little daughter. You just treat me as confused."
A trace of worry flashed across Nangong Yu's eyes and he clenched his fists.
"You want to shield her, but you don't have to curse your body."
Nangong Ruizheng smiled bitterly, "You know my health condition well. It will only last about half a year. Ah Yu, give grandfather some face. I owe it to your aunt. If I had not allowed her to marry into the Murong family, she would not have........."
At this moment, Nangong Ruizheng is no longer the powerful official who can call the wind and rain and has the final say.
Just an old, elderly man.
In Nangong Yu's impression, his grandfather has always been an upright and strict man.
He holds great power, is admired by many, never smiles, and seldom praises others.
Even Nangong Cheng, the most mischievous boy in the family, would restrain himself a little in front of Nangong Ruizheng.
It is very rare for such a proud man to show weakness.
Not to mention asking for help.
Nangong Yu clenched and unclenched his hands.
"When I was young, you taught me that the law cannot be tolerated. Especially for people like us who hold power, we must be more cautious and never show favoritism."
Nangong Yu was halfway through his words when he couldn't go on.
Because Nangong Ruizheng's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He overturned his own life creed with his own hands and became the person he hated the most.
How could he not feel heartache and blame himself? He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life in regret.
Nangong Yu sighed.
"I won't interfere with this matter, but I want to ask you a question? Did Nangong Haitang come to ask you for help?"
Nangong Ruizheng nodded: "She only wants a life."
"Did you send the Black Armor Guards as well?"
Nangong Ruizheng shook his head, "No, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. I just want to save her life."
Nangong Yu frowned, his eyes deep.
If it’s not the Nangong family, then it must be the Murong family.
The Murong family was not very enthusiastic about Nangong Haitang, so why were they willing to send the Black Armor Guards to her?
Could it be that Nangong Haitang made some kind of deal with them?
Nangong Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Grandfather, I will not take Nangong Haitang's life again, but I want to find out one thing, and no one can stop me."
Nangong Yu paused slightly.
"The poison must not spread to Dongling."
——
The sun gradually rises higher, reaching the sunniest time of the day.
People are still queuing up in front of the goddess.
In a luxurious and low-key high-rise building not far away.
The head of the Murong family, Murong Qiao, who is nearly sixty years old, stood by the window, shaking the teacup in his hand and speaking in a playful tone.
"I didn't expect that a serious person like Nangong Ruizheng would bend the law for personal gain. This matter must be spread out to let the world see that Nangong Ruizheng is not a good person either."
The young man sitting below frowned slightly, "Won't Sister Haitang become the target of public criticism?"
Murong Qiao sneered, "She has a vicious temper and didn't inherit even one ten-thousandth of her father's. It's a mercy to spare her life.
If it weren't for that thing, I wouldn't have assigned the Black Armor Guard to her."
Murong Ce nodded respectfully, "Grandfather is right. Now we just have to wait for Nangong Haitang to teach us how to use the poison."
at the same time.
Xie Ling, standing on the roof, estimated that the time was almost up, and gave instructions to Zhang Minyan, Doukou and others in secret.
She took out a flare specially designed for the end of the world from space and fired it into the sky.
Suddenly, a ball of light exploded in the sky.
Then colorful spots of light fell down like a falling meteor, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"What is that?"
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that the goddess has descended to the world, a blessing from heaven?"
All the people opened their eyes wide and stared at the sky without blinking.
Even Murong Ce and Murong Qiao in the high-rise building were stunned.
Nangong Haitang narrowed her eyes and frowned.
