Luo Lingyu: “…”
stunned.
Lu Yun asked her something that she hadn't even noticed. Luo Lingyu found it ridiculous. When she first met Lu Yun, she didn't even know his name was "Xuechen". How could she find the similarities between Lu Yun and Fan Qingchen? And that person's name wasn't "Chen", it was clearly "Chen".
Lu Yun continued, "After I remove the gauze, I will definitely take a look at what kind of person your fiancé is and whether he is similar to me..."
Luo Lingyu boldly pushed him and said angrily: "Are you done yet? I've already told you that I don't like him! You obviously don't like him, but you still keep calling him 'fiancé'. Can't you just say 'him'? Will you die if you don't mention the word 'fiancé'?"
Can't stand him!
He obviously doesn't like Fan Qingchen, but he always mentions him to her. When she doesn't mention him, he mentions him, and keeps saying... Lu Yun is jealous of too many things.
…
Luo Lingyu really used the excuse of "heatstroke" and didn't dare to go out all day, so she stayed in the house pretending to be sick. Fan Qingchen visited the Lu family several times, and every time he visited, Luo Lingyu became very sick, as if she was afflicted by him. Fan Qingchen knew it well and was extremely resentful, but he also sneered and wondered if the Lu family could drag Luo Lingyu along for the rest of their lives.
These things were also heard by Lu Erlang and Lu Xian, who occasionally came home to have a cup of tea and a meal. Lu Xian's reaction was not big, he just said "Oh" as if he remembered something. Because of the dream he had, he vaguely remembered that Luo Lingyu seemed to have an old acquaintance from Nanyang. It also seemed vaguely that there was a person called "fiancé"...but this person did not stir up any waves. At least when Lu Erlang knew about it in the dream, the matter was over.
Lu Erlang tried hard to recall his dreams these days, and remembered that June 19 was the day when Luo Lingyu surrendered to the King of Hengyang. From that day on, the King of Hengyang openly protected his cousin Luo and recognized her as his princess.
The timeline in the dream separates and then reunites with the timeline in reality. At this time in the dream, if Lu Yun had not reconciled with Cousin Luo and the two were still arguing, then Prince Hengyang would have had an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
What Lu Erlang wanted to ensure was to cut off the line with Prince Hengyang and make sure that Cousin Luo would not go to see Prince Hengyang on June 19th.
He only listened to what was going on at home. After learning that Lu Yun had spoken for his cousin Luo, Lu Erlang went to see Luo Lingyu once and never went again. He had more important things to do. He was eager to know whether the old emperor's "erysipelas" in his dream was a trap.
After replacing the Taoist priests sent to the palace by the Prince of Hengyang, Lu Xian did not stay at home for long. He was busy with his work and interrogating the Taoist priests.
After dusk that day, the sky was cold and a few drizzles fell under the sky. Mrs. Lu's nagging was useless. Lu Xian heard from his servant that things seemed to have progressed, so he drove the car with an umbrella and headed to the outskirts of the city. Lu Xian hid the Taoists in the mountains and interrogated them for several days. Today, they gave in, and Lu Xian naturally wanted to know the truth as soon as possible.
After going through the woods, they came to a thatched house. After collecting their umbrellas outside the house, thunder roared a few times in the sky. Lu Xian brushed off the water on his clothes and went in. There was only one candle in the house. Lu Xian sat down and saw the Taoist priests who were tied up opposite him. Their bodies were torn and their flesh was torn. The Taoist priests were lying on the ground, gasping for breath.
In the past few days, since he knew that there was something wrong with these Taoist priests, this was the first time Lu Xian came to see them.
Lu Xian: "What? Tell me, and I'll ensure that you can live for the rest of your lives."
The Taoists panted intermittently: "We said... Prince Hengyang did not ask us to poison... He just wanted us to compete with other Taoists in the palace for favor, so that His Majesty would like us the most."
"Yes, yes! That's right! His Majesty likes Taoists, and King Hengyang wants us to refine more pills."
Lu Xian interrupted: "He personally told you to make more pills for His Majesty?"
Throughout the ages, many emperors have sought immortality, but never heard of anyone who has achieved the Tao. Young men from upper-class families like them, who are well-educated, have read a lot of books and know that the Taoist priests are just fooling people. The so-called elixir, no one knows what it is. Your Majesty does not trust the doctor, but trusts the Taoist priest. It is not surprising that he took the medicine carelessly and died.
And this "pill" is what King Hengyang wants...
Lu Xian's tone was slightly anxious as he confirmed again: "He really told you to refine more pills and encourage His Majesty to eat more, right?"
The Taoists were dazed and could only hear vaguely. They hummed and moaned, but no one answered Lu Erlang. Lu Xian looked at them, and a guard next to him swung his whip and hit several people. Lu Xian closed his eyes, not wanting to watch or listen. He was obviously a handsome man, but he had to listen to these... The guard's burly figure was reflected on the wall, and he waved his whip fiercely: "Didn't you understand what the young master asked you? Answer our young master!"
"In reply to our husband——"
Boom——
Thunder roared again in the sky, and with a clang of thunder, a torrential rain swept across the sky and poured down. The rain was deafening, and the screams of the Taoists in the thatched cottage rose and fell. There was heavy rain in the mountains, thunder and lightning, and the atmosphere was really depressing. Lu Erlang felt a little uncomfortable and stopped the guards from whipping him: "Stop it, let them answer properly, don't beat them anymore..."
Suddenly, a low laugh came from outside the door: "Answer? What big secrets can a few small people know? If Lu Erlang wants to know, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask me directly?"
The guards accompanying Lu Erlang in the room were startled and drew their swords one after another. Lu Xian suddenly stood up and turned to look. He saw the door was kicked down from outside, and the young King Hengyang walked in with a cold and rainy body.
Lightning flashed in the sky, and rain fell like spears. Under the lightning, rows of guards stood outside the thatched cottage, creating a sense of oppression. In front of them was Hengyang King Liu Mu, who walked into the house step by step with a sword in hand. Liu Mu pointed the sword forward, and Lu Xian retreated with a pale face.
Lu Xian: "What are you doing? How dare you!"
Liu Mu: "Who let you discover this secret... I don't want to confront the Lu family, but Lu Erlang, you are too curious. If you see something wrong, just turn around and walk away. Why did you let me see it?"
