Xiao Tang knew.
Even if he's wrong, the man won't argue.
After all, he's not a drunken regent now, so he can't just refute her so easily.
As expected, the man gave a soft "hmm": "The princess is right."
Lord Lu was on the verge of tears.
What's right about it?
What nonsense is this woman spouting? There's no evidence whatsoever, yet she arbitrarily accuses him of having problems. How could the Regent simply agree to such rubbish?
Xiao Tang wanted to say more, hoping to make the man panic and confess on his own.
It was Di Jingling who spoke first.
"Lord Lu is getting married today, and I also have a generous gift to offer."
Lord Lu looked relieved.
Hearing that the regent did not mention the matter again, he thought to himself that perhaps he was overthinking it.
"Your Majesty, this is too kind."
"It's good that you've come, but why did you bring such a big gift... um?"
Before he could finish his flattering words, a long sword was suddenly placed against his neck.
It is Yan Jiu's longsword.
Lord Lu turned his head stiffly and met Yan Jiu's cold eyes.
The long sword was stuck in his neck; if it were just an inch closer, his head would be severed and blood would flow freely!
"Uh, this... Lord Yan Jiu, please calm down. I... Regent, what have I done wrong?"
He was afraid of dying.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Yan Jiu turned and gave the guard outside the door a look.
The other two guards opened the gift box.
When it was opened, everyone craned their necks to look.
Inside the gift box, laid out on top was a red fox and sable coat from the northern frontier, worth millions of taels of silver. Removing this sable coat revealed a bed of letters and gold underneath.
The gold alone was enough to shock everyone, let alone the guards picking up the book and starting to believe it.
It turns out that these were all letters exchanged between Lord Lu and the Northern Frontier.
Yan Jiu then threw a pigeon out of a black sack next to him.
"We also intercepted a carrier pigeon yesterday. Is the handwriting on the pigeon Lord Lu's?"
He shook the note in his hand.
It reads: Murong Ze has been imprisoned, and I know how to rescue him.
The beads of cold sweat that had been gathering on Lord Lu's forehead slowly dripped down.
At that moment, only two words echoed in his mind: It's over!
Xiao Tang also noticed the note.
Murong Ze has been imprisoned until now. Given the villain's ruthless nature, he should have been killed long ago, but he is still alive. This is suspicious.
She pinched her chin.
Finally, Lord Lu was arrested and imprisoned, and was scheduled to be executed on a later date.
The wedding guests dared not linger and rushed off.
In an instant, the place was deserted.
The bride stood there dumbfounded until she realized what was happening, then she ripped off her veil, covered her face, and ran away.
Only Xiao Tang and Di Jingling remained.
You're quite the wolf in sheep's clothing.
Xiao Tang slowly gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, "You're really something!"
Fortunately, the wedding ceremony was not yet completed; otherwise, the bride would have been widowed.
To sabotage someone's wedding in order to catch them in the act, that's really clever of them.
The things that the main villain does are always so heinous and outrageous.
Xiao Tang looked around, just about to get up, when she caught a glimpse of a very thin book out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that Di Jingling wasn't paying attention to her and was looking through the letters left by the spies, she quietly slipped the book into her sleeve.
...
Xiao Tang was very quiet on the way back.
She glanced at Di Jingling every now and then.
Emperor Jingling rode his horse to escort her back to the Prince's residence before entering the palace.
Xiao Tang stood at the entrance of the Prince's mansion, smiling sweetly and gently watching him leave. The tenderness in her eyes made one feel a little dazed for a moment.
Di Jingling, of course, did not linger on her gentle smiling face and left without any hesitation.
【You stinky man! ╭(╯^╰)╮】
She pinched her slightly stiff cheeks and pulled out the book she had found at the wedding from her sleeve pocket.
Just look at the book title—
"The Complete Guide to Cursing Gu"?
Nine times out of ten, books you find on the street out of nowhere are fake.
She had no hope and just casually flipped through the pages.
At first, I flipped through it lazily and casually.
Slowly, she began to read through the pages one by one.
This is not fake!!!
This is a book that truly records the methods of curing and cultivating Gu poison.
Given the chaotic scene at the wedding, who would deliberately leave a book there?
Or perhaps... that person fell by accident?
Yan Shi followed, "Your Highness, why are you standing at the entrance of the Prince's residence?"
Xiao Tang waved the book in his hand.
Do you recognize this book?
Yan Shi glanced at it, somewhat stunned. "This book is fake, isn't it? There are many books on the market with similar titles, and they're all filled with erotic stories."
Xiao Tang shook her head. "No."
Her eyes lit up. "Let's go to the Lu residence again. That person must have fallen down by accident, and might even go back to look for the book."
Seeing the princess's calm demeanor, Yan Shi also became suspicious.
Could this book be real?
This kind of book that records the use of Gu poison has been lost for a long time.
once……
The prince even tried to climb Divine Calculation Mountain in order to cure the poison, but was driven down.
Cough cough cough.
Think about it, wasn't that the first time the Regent suffered a setback?
The gates of the Lu residence were wide open.
Because the spy was caught, everyone else in the mansion was imprisoned.
This matter is of utmost importance. The royal family has always been ruthless, preferring to kill the innocent rather than let one person go free.
