Chapter 206 The Man Behind the Scenes
Nan Feng hurriedly followed him, but just as he got closer, he heard his master say to Lu Yunzheng in a calm voice, "Get in the car."
Nan Feng's face changed when he heard this, and he was about to say something to persuade him, but Lu Yunzheng had already got on the carriage with a numb expression.
"Sir, that Lu Yunzheng——"
"It's okay, Nanfeng, you should still drive to the palace. It's still early, so go through Chaotian Street."
Jiang Xun gave some instructions and got on the carriage.
Nanfeng said nothing more upon seeing this, and immediately sat on the carriage to drive the horse. However, he did not dare to be careless, and kept his nerves tense, always on guard against Lu Yunzheng.
Jiang Xun lifted the curtain and walked in. Before he could sit down, he heard Lu Yunzheng's hoarse voice saying, "I want to see Shen Jiasui."
Jiang Xun looked up and saw Lu Yunzheng's bloodshot eyes in the dim carriage.
"Why? Do you want to admit your fault, apologize, repent, or beg for mercy?"
Jiang Xun raised his lips slightly, no longer as cold and reserved as he was in front of outsiders, and there was a hint of sarcasm and coldness at the corners of his mouth.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and then his expression changed in shock, "She really told you everything!"
If it was just because of the broken engagement in this life, Jiang Xun would not have said words of repentance and begging for mercy.
"So, those letters from the Command Department were indeed written to me by you and Shen Jiasui under the name of Prince Xiang?"
"yes."
Jiang Xun leaned back slightly, leaned against the wall of the car, and responded straightforwardly.
Lu Yunzheng suddenly gritted his teeth, his face slightly ferocious, and said quickly: "I have found out everything now, I know everything. You led me all the way to investigate, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Do you want to see me in pain and despair, want me to admit my mistakes, or want me to kill Gu Xizhi with my own hands!"
The atmosphere in the car was very tense.
Jiang Xun leaned against the wall of the car, his entire face almost hidden in the inky light. Only occasionally a ray of light sneaked in from the side of the car curtain and lightly swept across his tall nose.
"Looking at your expression, doesn't Gu Xizhi know that you have discovered everything?"
Jiang Xun opened his mouth, but his words were irrelevant.
Lu Yunzheng was slightly stunned.
When he left, he did put all the letters back in their original places, and even remembered to smooth out the corners of clothes in the suitcase that were lifted up because of him. He was so cautious that he believed he had left no flaws.
If he had killed Xizhi in his impulse last night, everything would have been over and done with, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
And Prince Rui...
Prince Rui already knows about the existence of the letter. If he destroys it rashly, Prince Rui will definitely not let it go. Then I am afraid that my father and the Lu family will be implicated again...
Lu Yunzheng was confused and couldn't make sense of anything for a moment. The only instinctive thought in his mind was to restore everything to its original state.
He needed time to breathe, calm down, and figure out his past and present life clearly before considering how to deal with it all.
After doing all this, he fled from the villa, and finally found the Anyang Earl's Mansion after wandering around.
As soon as Jiang Xun saw Lu Yunzheng's expression, he knew the answer and nodded immediately, "This is much simpler."
Hearing this, Lu Yunzheng suddenly raised his head, his face slightly distorted, "What do you mean? Jiang Xun, what do you and Shen Jiasui want to do?"
Jiang Xun raised his eyes and looked directly at Lu Yunzheng, his face covered with frost and his voice was cold.
"You want to see Sui Sui, do you really know you are wrong? Are you feeling guilty and wanting to be forgiven?"
"Or are you eager to get out of the current quagmire and whirlpool, and then wave your sleeves and start over?"
Lu Yunzheng's thoughts were exposed by Jiang Xun.
He was indeed prepared to have a frank talk with Shen Jiasui, and he was willing to apologize for what he had done in his previous life.
But the purpose of doing this is to get rid of everything in the capital, get rid of the past life, and get rid of Shen Jiasui's hatred.
He wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, fight the enemy openly and start over.
The sarcasm on Jiang Xun's face made Lu Yunzheng feel a little at a loss. He opened his mouth, and realized that he was always at a disadvantage in front of Jiang Xun, and he couldn't help feeling angry and embarrassed.
"Since Shen Jiasui has confessed to you, there is nothing I cannot say."
"Everything in my previous life was led by Prince Xiang. I was wrong, and I don't deny it."
"But now Prince Xiang has been imprisoned for life. As long as the letter is destroyed, the Shen family's calamity will naturally be resolved."
"What else does Shen Jiasui want? Do you want me to pay you back with my life again?"
"Everyone makes mistakes. Now God has given me the opportunity to make amends and repent. Shen Jiasui can get what he wants. Why does he have to keep pestering me?"
"Do you, Jiang Xun, dare to say that you are perfect and have never made a mistake?"
Lu Yunzheng raised his voice slightly, as if trying to give himself more confidence.
Jiang Xun sneered and slowly sat up straight.
"Be lenient to yourself and strict to others, Master Lu, you are really lenient to yourself."
"You call this behavior of disregarding the lives of others and others just to fulfill your own selfish desires 'wrong'?"
"This is clearly a sin, a crime, and an evil!"
Jiang Xun's lips turned slightly pale due to anger, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his whole body was wrapped in a sharp edge.
Anyone who saw him like this could clearly feel the rage surging in his heart.
Lu Yunzheng's momentum weakened, and a guilty panic flashed in his eyes. He was about to refute, but Jiang Xun continued in a cold voice:
"You just said that everything in your previous life was led by Prince Xiang?"
When Lu Yunzheng heard this question, his expression changed and he asked back, "Isn't it?"
Jiang Xun heard this and curled his lips slightly, "What if I tell you that no matter in the past life or this life, the person Gu Xizhi followed has always been Prince Rui?"
Lu Yunzheng was slightly startled, and subconsciously retorted: "How can this be--"
The words that followed were suddenly stuck.
He took it for granted that the letter was in Prince Xiang's hands, and that the person Xizhi had relied on in her previous life was Prince Xiang.
But if the person Xizhi followed from the beginning to the end was Prince Rui, this... was a much bigger game than he had imagined!
He works for Prince Xiang, and Xizhi works for Prince Rui.
He did not hide anything from Xizhi, which meant that Prince Rui knew everything about Prince Xiang's actions that involved him.
In the previous life, Xizhi gave those letters to Prince Rui. Prince Rui did not take action himself, but instead tried every means to deliver the letters to Prince Xiang.
Prince Xiang is no pushover, and he then planned to get rid of my father and the Shen family together, and help him take the throne so that he can seize the military power.
Originally, it was thought that with the military power in his hands, Prince Xiang would have a good chance of winning.
But the Shen family is innocent after all, and those letters were not left by Shen Zhengsheng for treason.
Therefore, Prince Rui only needs to find a suitable opportunity to "vindicate" the Shen family after the Shen family is eliminated, and the "truth" will become -
Prince Xiang is so crazy that he fabricated false evidence and framed loyal officials in order to seize military power!
As an accomplice who colluded with Prince Xiang to frame the Shen family, he will probably end up... dying without a burial place!
When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng's heart began to beat wildly, his breathing became heavy and rapid, and he almost couldn't sit still.
If this is true, then by the time he returns to the capital, his death will probably be not far away.
And Xizhi...Xizhi has been pushing Prince Rui to his death step by step without mercy since the moment she hooked up with him!
