Chapter 314 The secret of a woman disguised as a man is discovered?
"Lord Lu has a missing sister. I heard that when Lord Lu was in the capital, he asked you to help find her." Zhao Qingwan said with certainty, "Lord Lu's sister is in the Prince's Mansion!"
Yan Xing's expression suddenly changed, "How do you know?"
Zhao Qingwan said, "My brother often goes in and out of the Crown Prince's Mansion. He accidentally ran into someone who looked very similar to Lord Lu. My brother felt familiar when he saw her. Later, my brother went to inquire and found out that Lord Lu's sister was missing."
It was no secret that Yan Xing and the prince helped Lu Chenyang find his sister, so it was normal for Zhao Qinghui to find out.
But why was Lu Chenyang's sister in the Prince's residence? Yan Xing's eyes were filled with deep thought, and it was hard not to think of the antagonistic relationship between the two. Lu Chenyang had secretly hidden his entire family, precisely to prevent them from falling into the hands of his enemies and becoming a vulnerability. Only this sister had disappeared. Was the Prince hoping to use her to control Lu Chenyang?
Yan Xing felt something was not right. When Miss Lu disappeared, Lu Chenyang had not yet become successful and was just a small county magistrate. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have started to be wary of him from that time.
True love.
These two words immediately popped up in Yan Xing's mind. No wonder the Crown Prince had always been so resistant to marriage. Forced marriage was a common problem for every adult man, and Yan Xing and His Royal Highness were no exception. The last time he returned to the capital, the Duke of Zhenguo had urged them both to marry soon.
He disagreed because he already had someone he loved. Judging from his own experience, this was probably the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling to get married.
The prince likes Lu Chenyang’s sister?
Yan Xing was very close to the truth, but he didn't expect that both Lu Chenyang and Zhao Qingwan had deceived him about one thing.
However, this did not prevent Yan Xing from seeing the unreasonableness of the whole thing.
"The Crown Prince has no reason to hide Miss Lu. He knows very well that if Lu Chenyang learns of this, it will upset the balance between them. And the Crown Prince will not turn against Lu Chenyang now." Yan Xing looked at Zhao Qingwan scrutinizingly. "The Crown Prince would not bother to hold a woman hostage to threaten Lu Chenyang. You lied."
Zhao Qingwan's eyes flashed, and she said with a wry smile, "Brother Prince, you are still so perceptive." She took a deep breath and said, "That's because they are in love with each other..."
Yan Xing interrupted her impatiently, "Even if they are in love, even if the relationship between the Crown Prince and Lu Chenyang is sensitive, Lu Chenyang is not the kind of person who would break up a pair of lovers. Your logic is flawed. You are hiding something from me." His eyes were sharp, "What do you want? What are you hiding?"
Zhao Qingwan didn't expect Yan Xing to be so hard to deceive. Now she couldn't continue to play tricks, otherwise her plan would fail. This was her only chance.
"Yes, I did hide something," Zhao Qingwan said. "I once met a scholar named Yuan Ming in front of the Crown Prince's Mansion. He had a grudge against Lord Lu, and when Lord Lu returned to the capital, he went to apologize. He told me something."
Yan Xing frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
Zhao Qingwan raised her head, looked at him and said, "He told me that Lu Chenyang doesn't know martial arts."
Yan Xing's pupils shrank and he blurted out: "This is impossible!"
Lu Chenyang is a martial arts expert, and he fought on equal terms with the King of Nanyang. With a long spear and powerful momentum, how could he not know martial arts?
Yan Xing immediately thought of a reason: "He's just a scholar. He just knows Lord Lu. How much does he know about him? The words of a stranger are not trustworthy."
"That's what I thought at first, but he said that he, Lu Chenyang, and another scholar once went on a trip to the mountains. They were caught in a heavy rain and got trapped in a dilapidated temple. They accidentally ran into two vicious criminals who were resting there. As a result, their friend was kidnapped, and Yuan Ming covered Lu Chenyang's mouth tightly, preventing him from rushing out to save him. Although the friend's relatives later paid money and rescued their friend safely, Lu Chenyang developed a grudge against Yuan Ming and broke off their friendship with him, never to speak with him again. If Lu Chenyang knew martial arts, how could he not save his friend? And how could he let Yuan Ming pin him down so easily?"
Yan Xing's brows furrowed more and more, because Zhao Qingwan was right.
Zhao Qingwan continued, "Lu Chenyang is an upright and loyal person. Yuan Ming was afraid that Lu Chenyang would retaliate against him after he gained power, so he went to see Lu Chenyang hoping that he would let him go. However, Lu Chenyang mentioned that the past should not be mentioned again. But Lu Chenyang hates evil and there is no way he would forgive his act of abandoning his companions. Everything he said and did was abnormal. Lu Chenyang doesn't know martial arts at all! But his twin sister, on the other hand, has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. At a young age, she followed the family's escort company to travel all over Dagan. This is no secret in the capital, and it will be known once it is investigated." She looked into Yan Xing's eyes with a firm gaze: "This Lu Chenyang now is not the real Lu Chenyang at all. She should be Lu Chenyang's sister, Lu Xueyin!"
Yan Xing was shocked. This was such an incredible guess, yet it was reasonable.
He couldn't help swallowing, but how could it be possible?
Yan Xing felt his heart pounding violently. He had never considered this possibility. Perhaps it was because Lu Chenyang hid it so well.
But if you think about it, he's kind, soft-hearted, and delicate, clearly possessing the characteristics of a woman. He's too one-sided, too prejudiced, thinking someone this smart, courageous, and resolute must be a man.
Yan Xing suddenly remembered something. When he was still a criminal, Zhao Xi had made him a human skin mask to hide his identity. It seemed that Zhao Xi must have modified it for Lu Chenyang... oh no, Lu Xueyin, so that it could be so realistic.
She is a woman, that's great, the biggest obstacle between them will no longer exist.
In fact, even when she was a man, he felt that this obstacle was nothing.
Thinking of this, Yan Xing couldn't help but grin, with the corners of his mouth rising up desperately, as if he couldn't control it at all.
