"..." Lu Jin lowered his head, his tone becoming much more depressed, "I did go to Anxiang Tower."
Lu Ren, who heard this, glared at him.
Wen Yu smiled and said, "You went there by yourself?"
"I, I..." Lu Jin stammered.
"Brother, now is not the time to talk about loyalty. It's not easy for your brother to see you like this. If you don't tell the truth, you'll be put in jail. He won't be able to get you out."
"You will be living with rats and cockroaches in this prison from now on. In the morning, the cockroaches will crawl all over you, and at night, the rats will build their nests at your feet and share a steamed bun with you."
"Before long, you will have lice on your body and head. They are small white bugs that burrow around and itch a lot. You haven't experienced it before, have you? Well, you can suffer this time..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren glanced at Wen Yu: ...
Lu Jin's face had already turned blue. He hesitated for a long time and said through gritted teeth, "I, I was really drunk. I didn't know anything and was arrested."
Wen Yu glanced at Lu Ren and said with a smile, "Your brother is quite loyal. Did he learn this from you? But he never seemed to think about why he was the only one arrested for visiting prostitutes."
After that, he stared at Lu Jin and said, "Brother, have you ever thought about this question?"
Lu Jin's face turned blue and red when he heard this. He slowly squatted down holding the prison pillar, and his voice became muffled, as if he was a little sad.
"Qin Weian took me there. He said there was a fun place there. I didn't know it was a brothel at first."
"I was shocked when I got there. I said I didn't want to go in, but he held me back, saying no one would know. But before we even got in, people from the Dali Temple showed up."
"Princess, I didn't visit prostitutes, let alone curse the emperor. I'm not crazy..."
Wen Yu nodded after hearing this. The kid wasn't that stupid. "Yeah, at most you're just trying to have sex with a prostitute."
Then he asked Lu Jin: "Who is Qin Weian?"
Lu Jin paused for a second and said in a muffled voice: "He is my best friend, the son of the Minister of Rites."
Wen Yu got the answer and turned around to leave the prison, not forgetting to tease: "Lu Ren, let your brother make some decent friends. The good kids have been led astray."
After leaving the prison, the air suddenly became fresh. The glare of the sunlight made Wen Yu close her eyes and relax for a long time.
It was really dark in the prison that day. Not only was it dark, it was also smelly. In comparison, modern prisons are simply super luxurious suites.
"Princess, do you believe what I say?" Lu Ren stood beside Wen Yu and narrowed his eyes.
Wen Yu got on the carriage, put on a hand warmer, closed her eyes and pretended to be serious: "Whether I believe it or not is up to me."
Lu Ren: ...
"You said your brother's name is Jingyanshenxing, what about you? Why is your name Ren?" Wen Yu looked at him curiously.
Lu Ren said: "This has nothing to do with the investigation."
Wen Yu curled her lips and said, "You are such a boring person. If it weren't for the conditions, I wouldn't bother to care about a blockhead like you. It's obvious that both parties agree, but you always act like I'm forcing you. It's boring, really boring."
I thought Lu Ren would not speak anymore, but I didn't expect his calm voice to ring in my ears: "Princess, do you really want to know?"
"Yes, you say?"
Lu Ren lowered his eyes and said slowly, "My father was an old man who followed the previous emperor to build the Great Sheng Empire. Because he had correspondence with some old friends from the previous dynasty, he was falsely accused of having treasonous intentions. When I was just born, my father was thrown into prison. To show his loyalty, he left a letter in blood, and his blood splattered all over the prison."
Wen Yu frowned after hearing this, somewhat dissatisfied: "Is this the end of a founding hero?"
Lu Ren frowned and looked at Wen Yu: "Afterwards, the late emperor rehabilitated my father and posthumously conferred him the title of Marquis Chizhong. No one has mentioned this matter in recent years."
Wen Yu was a little angry. She hated the emperor who killed his meritorious officials.
It always reminds me of those famous generals in history who were brutally betrayed, and the words "red" and "loyalty" are too ironic.
So he said angrily: "That person is dead too. It's really infuriating to hear that."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something: "That's not right, so your brother is not your father's?"
Lu Ren nodded: "My mother picked him up in the snow."
Wen Yu was surprised and said, "What a nice person."
Lu Ren: ...
He stared at Wen Yu with strange eyes, then quickly looked away.
He originally thought that as the eldest princess, she would not take it seriously when she heard about this past event.
But he didn't expect that her attitude showed such genuine regret and anger. He could feel that she was not pretending.
"So your "忍" means forbearance and patience? What do you want to endure? The revenge for your father's murder?" Wen Yu suddenly spoke.
Lu Ren's eyes were firm: "No, it's perseverance."
"Perseverance means perseverance and resilience." Lu Ren said, "This is what my parents expect of me, and it is also my encouragement to myself."
Wen Yu blinked and clapped her hands after hearing this: "Not bad, not bad, a good name, very suitable for your status as a general."
"Look at me, my name is Wen Yu. Yu means pretty, smart, beautiful, and generous. Wow, isn't the name very fitting? It couldn't be more appropriate. I've never seen anyone who fits this name so well."
Then he took out the mirror and looked at himself.
Lu Ren: ...
"Why are you silent? Don't you think so? Am I not beautiful?"
Lu Ren sighed, "Whatever the princess says is right."
Wen Yu was very satisfied.
When the eldest princess' carriage arrived at the minister's residence, it alarmed everyone in the mansion, and even the old lady was helped out to pay her respects.
When they learned that Wen Yu was here to see the young master, they all looked at each other in surprise.
"My Lord and my son have been invited to the Prime Minister's Residence and their return date is uncertain."
Wen Yu: ...
Wen Yu retreated back into the carriage: "Forget it, let's go home and talk about it tomorrow."
Lu Ren frowned and said, "Tomorrow? Not checking today?"
"Well, ask again tomorrow."
Lu Ren asked, "What are you afraid of, Princess?"
Wen Yu was confused: "What? I'm not scared."
"When the princess heard about the prime minister, she retreated back into the carriage. Is the prime minister so scary?"
Wen Yu said in a cryptic way: "You don't understand. I want to draw a clear line between me and him and try not to have any contact with him."
But on second thought, is it necessary? It seems like she is afraid of Lin Yuzhi.
The person has been saved and the words have been made clear. Why should we avoid suspicion? It would only make things more obvious.
As the saying goes, a man of integrity fears no slander. This just lets others see that she no longer has that kind of intention towards Lin Yuzhi.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu waved her hand and said, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
He then praised Lu Ren: "Good question, good question, it has enlightened me! Reward! A big reward! This cake is given to you as a reward."
Lu Ren: “…No need.”
"Forget it. If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it myself."
"You eat it, I won't."
During the conversation, the carriage slowly drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liuchun, who was sitting on the carriage, listened to the noise coming from the carriage with shock in his eyes. Is the princess... falling in love with someone else?
