Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and today was the last day of the martial arts conference. Yesterday, most people had signed a blood oath to voluntarily give up participating in the martial arts conference. However, these people were all from Lingyun Villa. Even if they were not forced, it was definitely not their own will.
Before leaving, Leng Yu held Luo Lan's hand and said solemnly:
"Lan'er, a lot of things may happen today, and I may not be able to take care of you, but I have arranged for Xiao Ningzi to be by your side to protect you, plus A Cai and A Hong, so you must be extra careful."
Luo Lan put her arms around his waist, hugged him directly, pressed her whole body against his chest, and nodded continuously.
"Don't worry! I, your wife, am blessed with great fortune and luck, so nothing will happen to me. But you, my husband, must pay attention to your safety. By the way, are my father and the people from the Rebirth Hall here?"
"They're rushing here. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll arrive by noon. So in the meantime, we have to wait and see what happens. We shouldn't act rashly unless it's absolutely necessary."
At this moment, Ah Cai called out from outside:
"Your Majesty, Princess, the owner of the manor wants you two to come over. He said he has found out who poisoned the princess."
Hearing this, Leng Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, and he said softly:
"It seems that Long Changyun knows that your father and his men are heading here, and he wants to put an end to this matter before then."
Luo Lan chuckled with sparkling eyes, "Could the person they found be the real person who poisoned me?"
"Even if it's not, they'll find a scapegoat. Let's go and see what they have up their sleeves."
After saying this, he took Luo Lan's hand and walked towards the door.
The housekeeper Ah Fu was standing at the door. When he saw them coming out, he hurriedly bowed to greet them.
"Your Majesty, Princess, the owner of the manor has been waiting for you two in the main hall for a long time."
Leng Yu nodded and followed Ah Fu to the main hall of the palace.
At this time, a person dressed in maid's clothes was lying on the ground in the main hall of the palace. She had been beaten to a bloody state and her original appearance could not be seen clearly. It seemed that an extremely tragic thing had just happened to her.
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan frowned and took a deep breath.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Long Changyun hurried over to greet them.
"Prince Yu, Princess Yu, this girl was the one who poisoned the Princess' porridge. Fortunately, Butler Ah Fu caught her when she was about to attack again. Otherwise, the consequences would be truly disastrous."
Leng Yu glanced at the man on the ground and asked in a cold voice,
"Why did she do that?"
Ah Fu took a step forward, bowed and replied:
"When I discovered she was about to commit a crime, I tortured her severely. She said she couldn't stand the fact that the princess was so young but had a higher status than her. It might have been out of jealousy. This girl is usually ambitious. I never thought she would dare to harm the princess."
This reason?
Luo Lan wanted to laugh after hearing this. It was really far-fetched.
Leng Yu's handsome eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he sneered with a slight twitch of his lips:
"Killing someone out of jealousy? That's a good reason."
Long Changyun saw that her tone was not very good, so he stepped forward to explain:
"Don't blame Prince Yu for having doubts. I had the same suspicion at first, but she admitted it herself. Now, I hand this person over to Prince Yu for your interrogation and punishment."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's eyes flickered a few times, and then he chuckled.
"Master Long, you want to use a little girl to take the blame for such a serious matter? This is a bit unreasonable!"
"This... Princess Yu, what are you talking about? Am I not looking for someone to take the blame? She admitted it herself. If you don't believe me, interrogate her yourself."
"Interrogate her personally? You've beaten her so badly she can barely breathe. How can she even speak?"
Seeing the suspicion in her tone, Long Changyun looked directly at Ah Fu and asked sternly:
"Why did you beat him like this?"
Seeing this, Ah Fu knelt on his knees.
"Master, she initially refused to admit it, so I ordered her to be beaten. This girl is usually stubborn and doesn't listen to discipline. If I don't beat her like this, she won't admit it."
Luo Lan half-closed his eyes and looked at Ah Fu, and asked with each word as sharp as a needle:
"Since she refused to confess, and you beat her like this, I can understand that you were forcing her to confess."
“It’s unfair!”
Ah Fu lowered his head, not daring to look Luo Lan in the eye, and hurriedly explained:
"I'm just a housekeeper in the mansion. How could I dare to force a confession like this? I saw this girl doing something in the kitchen with my own eyes. And when I ordered her to be searched and her bed was checked, I found poison under her pillow. It was exactly the same poison that the princess was poisoned with."
Ah Fu's words seemed to make sense, and Long Changyun said to Leng Yu again:
"Prince Yu, I know you won't believe this easily, but it is the truth. Now that the martial arts conference has begun, how about this? I'll have someone find a doctor for this girl. You can try her after the conference is over."
Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan. Luo Lan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded to him. Leng Yu then said in a deep voice with a cold face again:
"In that case, let's put this matter aside for now. However, before we leave, we must thoroughly investigate this matter. Otherwise, your villa cannot afford to be charged with attempting to murder a member of the royal family."
"That's right, I heard General Liu has arrived personally. How could I not give you and him an explanation? Now, please move to the arena outside the manor. I heard your people will also participate in this competition."
