Lu Zhixing didn't notice anything unusual about Song Yushu. There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes. "When I was looking for you, I found a few assassins. They were found out during Song Chun's interrogation."
Although the Queen Mother's favor for Lu Zhixing was conditional, Lu Zhixing had indeed enjoyed it, and it was inevitable that he would feel lonely.
Song Yushu silently patted his hands. "After this incident, I'm afraid that even if the Queen Mother wants to do something again, no one will be able to help her. But there is one thing I don't understand. Why did she do it so obviously this time?"
"Grandmother has always been the actual ruler of the Lin family, and my father has been suppressed by him for too long. She's used to being high and mighty, and her body can't take it anymore." Lu Zhixing sighed softly, "Grandmother has never taken others seriously."
"Does that mean that the threat I've posed to her is too great and we have to deal with it quickly?" Song Yushu shrugged casually.
Lu Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth, "Of course, for you, Grandmother has put all the last of her power into it. Apart from you, I'm afraid no one in this world can solve it."
This man looked cold, but he was no less arrogant when it came to praising others. Song Yushu smiled and shook his head, his eyelids starting to feel heavy.
"You'd better go back first, so that no one can find you." Song Yushu's head also began to feel heavy.
Lu Zhixing was worried about her and tossed and turned at night, so he took the risk and ran over.
"Okay, you should have a good rest and don't worry about anything these days." Lu Zhixing bent down, helped her lie down, and covered her with a blanket.
Song Yushu could no longer control his eyelids. He could only move his head slightly before falling into a deep sleep.
Lu Zhixing sat beside the bed and looked at the pale-faced Song Yushu, his face full of worry. Before he disappeared and lost his memory, Song Yushu's face looked so good.
Her once oval face was now pale and pointed, and the scar from her brow to her neck showed how much she had suffered.
It's my fault.
Lu Zhixing bent down and gently kissed Song Yushu between the eyebrows before walking out.
Ling'er was standing guard at the door. When she saw him come out, she whispered, "Your Highness, Dean Jiang suddenly appeared just now..."
There was a lot of worry in her words. Although Jiang Siyuan helped Song Yushu find an imperial physician, he was a sudden arrival and a close confidant of the emperor. Ling'er didn't believe him.
"It's okay." Lu Zhixing nodded slightly, walked out, and met Jiang Siyuan in the dark.
"How is she?" Jiang Siyuan wanted to go see Song Yushu, but Ling'er beside her was very skilled in martial arts and discovered him, so he had to retreat, for fear of scaring the people around Song Yushu and causing some noise.
Lu Zhixing didn't really want to answer, but Jiang Siyuan's position was very important, and Song Yushu had to deal with him, so he could only nod.
Jiang Siyuan also disliked Lu Zhixing. Song Yushu was so focused on him that no one else had a chance to squeeze in. He held his sword and his face turned cold. "Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter. You'd better not be so ostentatious."
He is just relying on his high martial arts skills, but if he fails, it will be troublesome.
Lu Zhixing didn't answer, but raised his foot and disappeared into the shadows.
Jiang Siyuan was so angry that he stood there for a long time without recovering.
For several days, Jiang Siyuan was collecting evidence without stopping, which shocked Li Biao. He secretly wondered if this kid had taken the wrong medicine.
This is obviously a matter involving the emperor's family. Whether it can be investigated or not, won't it be the people under them who die in the end?
As expected, when Jiang Siyuan presented the evidence to the emperor, the emperor did not speak for half a day.
"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the royal dignity and must be severely punished." Jiang Siyuan ignored the emperor's cold face.
The emperor put down the file and said in an unclear tone, "This matter concerns the Empress Dowager. How can you say it so easily? Do you want me to announce to the world that my biological mother killed someone in broad daylight in the harem?"
Lu Yanzhou, who had been waiting nearby, stepped forward quickly. "Father, while it's true that Grandmother is involved in this matter, she's elderly and ill, so it's inevitable that some cunning servants will misrepresent the imperial edict. Why not have Dean Jiang investigate Su Jin?"
This means that Su Jin should take the lead.
It can not only protect the reputation of the Queen Mother, but also give an explanation to the world.
Lu Yanzhou turned his head slightly to glance at Jiang Siyuan, wanting him to join in the conversation.
But unfortunately, Jiang Siyuan didn't even glance at Lu Yanzhou and didn't take him seriously at all.
The emperor was originally very unhappy, but when he heard what Lu Yanzhou said, his brows gradually relaxed. However, when he saw Lu Yanzhou hinting at Jiang Siyuan, his brows frowned again.
Fortunately, Jiang Siyuan ignored Lu Yanzhou's hint. The emperor finally relaxed his brows and nodded, "That's fine, my dear Jiang."
"I'm here." Jiang Siyuan responded immediately.
"What the Crown Prince said makes sense. Go to the Empress Dowager's palace and take Su Jin away for interrogation. Report back to me after the interrogation. Don't respond to anyone else's questions." The Emperor leaned forward slightly. "Do you understand?"
"I understand." Jiang Siyuan accepted the order and immediately went to do it. "I will take my leave."
The emperor nodded and watched him leave. Just as Jiang Siyuan walked to the door of the palace, the emperor glanced at Li Guiquan.
Li Guiquan immediately stopped Jiang Siyuan, "President Jiang, wait a moment!"
"Let me go see my mother first, and then you can go." The emperor finally wanted to see his mother first.
After all, his mother single-handedly helped him ascend the throne, and he had spent most of his life obeying her wishes.
Suddenly able to get rid of the empress dowager, the emperor suddenly wanted to see his high and mighty mother again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Siyuan immediately understood.
In the Queen Mother's palace.
The emperor sat beside the empress dowager's bed, looking carefully at the woman who had controlled him all his life.
"Mother, you don't look very well. You should get more rest."
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, too weak to twirl the Buddhist beads in her hand. She said calmly, "How did the Emperor find time to come and see me? Did he want to see what my life would be like after my failure?"
"Is this how my mother sees me?" The emperor was a little embarrassed when the empress dowager said what she was thinking. "Can't I care about you? You are my biological mother!"
"So what if you're my biological mother?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly. "If I hadn't helped you ascend to the throne of Crown Prince and protected you every day, how could you be so arrogant and domineering in front of me today?"
The Queen Mother has always been kind and loving, but now she has lost her energy and doesn't want to pretend anymore.
The emperor looked at his mother in disbelief. "How could you speak like that?"
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and looked at the Emperor coldly.
"I have something even more unpleasant to say!"
