Chapter 221 I Have a Sister
But the prince would not think so. You must know that the first step Lu Chenyang took to break the situation in Lingnan was to kill Dewey with his own hands.
You may not remember this person, but he was the former commander of the Lingnan garrison. Lu Chenyang killed him in front of everyone, thus seizing control of the Lingnan garrison.
How could such a person be so kind and easy to control?
Lu Chenyang was truly a man of hidden talents, unmoved as a mountain. He was the one who was truly uneasy.
Although he was the crown prince, he spent most of his life protecting himself, hiding his abilities, and was caught up in the struggle for imperial power between his father and son.
In terms of political ability, he is far inferior to Lu Chenyang, and what he has to do now is to make Lu Chenyang believe in his ability.
Lu Chenyang suddenly said, "I have something I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help."
The prince immediately became alert. Is there anything that Lu Chenyang can't handle? Can he help? But then he thought, if Lu Chenyang can't do it, what can he do?
Regardless of what he was thinking, the prince said in a serious and sincere manner, "Master Lu, please feel free to speak."
Lu Chenyang looked at him calmly and said, "I have a sister, a twin of mine. However, when I left the capital to take up my post in Lingnan, my sister disappeared. My parents are extremely worried, and I have been searching for her all these years. Unfortunately, there is no news. I beg Your Highness to help me find my sister!"
The prince: “…”
The prince's momentary silence made Lu Chenyang understand that the prince really knew where her brother was!
In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lu Chenyang's back.
If the prince knew where the real Lu Chenyang was, then he would know that she was fake.
But in an instant, Lu Xueyin calmed down again. What if the prince knew? Her identity was fake, but the military power and authority she held were real. Even if the prince knew, or even exposed her, what would it matter? Just because she was a woman, would the Lu family army disown her?
Impossible. What matters now is not Lu Chenyang, but her.
Of course, it would be best if her identity could be kept secret, but don't think of this as a handle to control her.
Lu Chenyang pressed on, "Everyone says I hold a high position, with great power, but I can't even protect my only sister. I truly feel guilty towards my parents. This job is truly meaningless."
The prince's heart was filled with alarm. What did this mean? Was he going to resign? He knew Lu Chenyang would never resign, but even if he did, he couldn't let Lu Chenyang continue to complain like this.
The prince quickly said, "Lord Lu is a meritorious official. I will not refuse to help you find your family. Don't worry, I will definitely send people to look for them."
Lu Chenyang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will wait for your good news."
Lu Chenyang did not answer the question about sending troops to attack the Yilin Army. The prince knew that this would probably have to wait until there was news from his "sister" before there could be any results.
The matter was discussed and Lu Chenyang left the Prince's Mansion.
He turned his head and glanced at the majestic building behind him, his eyes dark.
The real Lu Chenyang might be in the Prince's Mansion, but why? What happened to him that made him leave home for so long?
Lu Chenyang took a deep breath. Perhaps the answers could only be known when he actually met Lu Chenyang.
Tan Feng was waiting outside the door, not knowing what they talked about. As soon as they left the Prince's Mansion, Tan Feng couldn't help it.
"Sir, are we going to send troops?" asked Tan Feng.
The most important thing for Lu Chenyang to do when he came to Beijing this time was to discuss the issue of attacking the Yilin Army. Tan Feng also knew that Lu Chenyang would definitely agree, and he also wanted to know the result.
Lu Chenyang said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Tan Feng nodded, and they returned to the post station together.
After Lu Chenyang sat down, he asked someone to guard outside the door, leaving only Tan Feng and Zhao Xi.
"When I met the prince just now, I smelled the fragrance of medicine on him." He said, looking at Zhao Xi: "That's the medicine you made for Lu Chenyang."
The medicines Zhao Xi made himself were all very effective. He made many common medicines for Lu Chenyang and Lu Xueyin, such as pills for treating colds, ointments for injuries, and medicine for wounds.
Lu Chenyang fancies himself a scholar, and he carries himself with a certain scholarly affectation. He dislikes the strong medicinal smell of ointments and wound treatments, and feels it's disrespectful to have a strange odor when hanging out with his classmates.
Therefore, all the ointments that Zhao Xi made for him were specially made, with special spices added to them.
Because spices that can be added to medicinal materials without affecting their efficacy are rare and expensive, only Lu Chenyang's medicine has spices added.
Just now in the Prince's Mansion, Lu Chenyang smelled this special fragrance on the Prince.
Among the Lu family, only Lu Chenyang has all the ointments with spices, and even Lu Xueyin doesn't use them.
So, Lu Xueyin was sure that the prince must have seen Lu Chenyang, or that Lu Chenyang disappeared because of the prince?
Zhao Xi was stunned. She said, "The Crown Prince and the Young Master? Does our Young Master have such a powerful family background?"
Before he achieved the sixth place in the imperial examination, Lu Chenyang was just a scholar. Even if he was talented and famous in the capital, he couldn't possibly have any connection with the prince.
However, Lu Xueyin disagreed. She said, "I used to think that Big Brother's unequivocal support for the Zhenguo Mansion was due to his righteousness. If he had known the Second Prince for a long time, or even had already joined him, then his actions would be even more reasonable."
After all, Lu Chenyang is not a reckless or stupid person. He had worked hard to defend the Duke of Zhenguo and even called on his classmates, friends and teachers to speak up for him. He rarely did such things.
The situation at that time was that the Duke of Zhenguo was wrongly accused and the second prince was in a precarious situation.
Therefore, Lu Chenyang spared no effort to speak for the Duke of Zhenguo, hoping to use public opinion to save the situation.
Tan Feng asked, "Even if that's the case, why did he disappear? Why couldn't he tell his family? If he disappears, wouldn't he be even less able to help the Crown Prince?"
Lu Chenyang said: "I haven't figured this out either. This is just my guess."
He frowned. They said that being twins, the so-called telepathy was too mysterious, but he actually had this feeling.
Ever since Lu Chenyang disappeared, he instinctively thought that Lu Chenyang was not in danger at the moment, he was still alive, and in a safe environment.
He couldn't describe what kind of feeling it was, it was just an instinctive consciousness.
If Lu Chenyang also had such an instinct, then based on his understanding of her, would he have known long ago that she would disguise herself as a man and become an official for him?
Lu Chenyang sighed deeply. These were just guesses. Everything would only be known after meeting Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang also said that she asked the prince to help find someone, and she was talking about looking for her sister.
Tan Feng asked, "He agreed, but what if he uses the excuse of not finding it?"
Lu Chenyang said: "There is another person who can also help."
The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "My Lord!"
Yes, Yan Xing will definitely help and will be happy to help Lu Chenyang find his sister.
Just as Lu Chenyang was about to send someone to invite Yan Xing, the guards outside the door came in to report that some scholars wanted to see him.
"I am your former classmate. I heard that you returned to the capital, so I came to pay my respects to you." The guard said respectfully.
The guard thought that his master was so kind that he would definitely not ignore his classmates and friends, so he came to report.
Lu Chenyang nodded and said, "Tell them to wait for me in the main hall."
The guard agreed and turned to pass on the message.
Tan Feng asked worriedly, "Sir, will the truth be revealed?"
Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "It's okay. I know most of Big Brother's classmates. Besides, with my current status and position, who would dare to doubt me?"
That's right, sometimes status determines everything.
Lu Xueyin and Lu Chenyang had a close relationship, having grown up together. Lu Xueyin often visited Lu Chenyang's academy to bring him food and drinks. She even went to pick him up during a period of time when bandits were roaming outside the capital.
Therefore, Lu Xueyin is very familiar with Lu Chenyang's classmates, and she is confident that she will never be exposed and fail to recognize people.
Lu Chenyang changed his clothes and went out to meet the guests. Six scholars came, five of whom were people Lu Chenyang knew.
