The farce in Prince Yu's Mansion finally came to an end. All those who were poisoned and drank the antidote were still in shock after being dismissed by the emperor.
Some people even had weak legs and had to be helped into the carriage by their own servants.
As the crowd dispersed, the emperor looked at Lu Zhixing thoughtfully, "You and Prince Yu have been at loggerheads for a long time, so why did you still come?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this farce was aimed at Lu Zhixing, but the fact that he actually showed up at his house made one think deeply.
"In reply to your Majesty, I simply do not want to die." Lu Zhixing said calmly. He was not panicked because he had broken Lu Zhichen's plan, but told the truth to the emperor.
Lu Zhichen has been jealous of Lu Zhixing for a long time. Even the emperor knows about the prince's jealousy of Lu Zhixing, but he never intervenes.
The emperor waved his hand. "We are all brothers. Why should we fight over who will die? It's just that you didn't discuss today's matter with me, causing me to be disrespectful in front of Prince Banner. I will still punish you. Do you accept the punishment?"
Prince Yu's actions today have brought shame to the Dayan Dynasty. The emperor felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Banner.
Lu Zhixing lifted his robe and knelt down, "I accept the punishment."
"Prince Jing was disrespectful to a foreign vassal. He will be fined one year's salary and forced to reflect on his mistakes at home for three months as a warning to others!" Although it was a serious statement, the emperor still gave him a symbolic punishment.
After all, he didn't want the prince's party to think that without Prince Yu, there would be no one to oppose them, and the country would be in their pockets.
"Your son obeys your order!"
Lu Yanzhou watched Lu Zhichen being imprisoned in the Sky Prison, watched Lu Zhixing being punished, and sent Prince Banner away. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the resentment that had been in his heart for many years finally dissipated.
Lu Zhichen was imprisoned in the Sky Prison, and Lu Yanzhou was in charge of all matters in Prince Yu's Mansion. He lowered his eyes and listened to Jiang Wenpu's report. Suddenly, he said, "Wenpu, I think we should find a time to get rid of Song Yushu."
Everyone said that King Jing favored a eunuch, but after seeing it with his own eyes, Lu Yanzhou felt that this eunuch only had King Jing in his eyes and heart.
Although it is a pity, the threat posed by this person is too great. The reason why Prince Yu was defeated so quickly this time was definitely because Song Yushu had fanned the flames and even notified him in advance.
He calculated the time and opportunity exactly. If such a person cannot be used by himself, he can only be eliminated.
Jiang Wenpu's face froze slightly, and he asked with a hint of doubt, "Isn't Your Highness trying to recruit him? Song Yushu has too much influence outside, and he has the support of the Supervisory Council and Prince Jing in the court. This..."
"He will not be used by me." Lu Yanzhou thought back to when Song Yushu untied the silk ribbon that bound Lu Zhixing's eyes. He didn't look like someone who could be bribed.
What you can't get must be destroyed. This is the way of strategy.
"But..." Jiang Wenpu wanted to explain himself, but was interrupted by Lu Yanzhou.
"I have made up my mind." Lu Yanzhou suddenly became suspicious. He always felt that Jiang Wenpu was hesitant about Song Yushu's matter. "Why do you keep contradicting me?"
Jiang Wenpu immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I simply feel weak and am afraid of hindering Your Highness. I have no other intentions! I hope Your Highness will understand!"
Compared with Jiang Wenpu and Xia Xingde, Jiang Wenpu has a very big weakness, that is, he has no backing, and although he is somewhat upright, he can be used in the front, but if he wants to symbolize King Jing in the future, this person will not be very useful.
Lu Yanzhou pondered for a long while with a cold face, then waved his hand, "Just go ahead and do it. I will find other ways, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Yes, Your Highness." Jiang Wenpu knew that Lu Yanzhou had begun to doubt him again, and he didn't dare to refute him.
Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Don't let the prince's wound come into contact with water these days, and don't light too many candles in the room. It's not good for the eyes." Song Yushu instructed Song Chun in detail.
"The prince's eye disease has relapsed due to the poisoning, and he is a bit manic. You must serve him carefully."
"If anyone from the Lin residence comes, you must stop them."
Song Chun listened to Song Yushu's explanation and nodded repeatedly.
Now that Prince Yu has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and has no chance of turning things around, the Lin family will definitely cling to Lu Zhixing again, and the Queen Mother and the old man of the Lin family will also step in.
They are all elders. Even if Lu Zhixing knew what they were thinking before, he couldn't do anything in front of them. He needed to be patient now.
Lu Zhixing held Song Yushu's hand and listened to her explanation. "It's different now than before. Sometimes I don't have to endure."
"Why?" Song Yushu was a little puzzled.
"From what I know about my father, he doesn't want me to control my temper. On the contrary, the bigger the better." Lu Zhixing sneered. Even if his father doted on the prince, he would not allow his power to grow. It would be best if the two sides were balanced and he would mediate.
This is the only way to stabilize his country!
Song Yushu nodded. She had forgotten about the emperor. "Even so, you still have to be careful. Now that Prince Yu is in prison, Lin Zhiyao will still come to haunt you."
The queen would even forcefully grant the marriage. After all, the Lin family was already at the end of their rope and could only cling to Lu Zhixing.
"Don't worry." Lu Zhixing knew what Song Yushu was worried about. After all, she had said long ago that she would never serve two husbands. How could he go against her wishes?
"Your Highness, Master, please forgive me for being so bold. If it is a matter concerning the female members, it is best for them to resolve it. Your current identity cannot resolve it, and you can only restore your true identity." Song Chun suddenly interrupted.
Song Yushu suddenly looked at Song Chun, "What did you say?!"
"Please forgive me, my master. I found out about it accidentally and had no intention of spying on you." Song Chun knelt down and honestly explained his discovery.
As Song Yushu's number one helper, Song Chun is not only loyal, but also cautious and smart. He noticed some clues from the food Liu An made for Song Yushu. After many evidences, he finally confirmed that his master was "her". After all, Song Yushu did not hide many things from him.
Before Song Yushu could react, Lu Zhixing swung his sword at Song Chun's neck.
"Stop!" Song Yushu quickly called out to Lu Zhixing. She was sure of Song Chun's loyalty to her.
However, because Lu Zhixing lost his sight again, his uneasiness grew even more. He always felt that Song Chun's loyalty was too strange. As a man, he felt that this boy's intentions were not pure.
However, Lu Zhixing's sword was held by Song Yushu, and he was afraid of hurting Song Yushu, so he had to let go.
Song Chun looked at Song Yushu with a gleam in his eyes, "I will never betray my master, please understand!"
The more people knew about Song Yushu's identity as a woman, the more dangerous it would be. She was a little hesitant, but her trust in Song Chun ultimately prevailed.
"Forget it. If you wanted to say something, you could have said it long ago. Go down first."
