Chapter 259 There Must Be a Traitor

Qi Yunran didn't speak. She thought about yesterday's events again and again, and it was highly likely that Lou Mingzhu was behind it!

According to Hongying, who is also the female ghost, all the men in black who were captured last night died suddenly within an hour!
He died of poisoning!

She clearly heard Lou Chen say that he had dislocated their jaws. How could they commit suicide by poisoning themselves while their hands and feet were tied?

There must be a mole inside, and besides, Lou Chen went to town today and didn't seem to care about this at all.

She wondered if Lou Chen already knew, and if Lou Mingzhu was the one who did it.
That's why they pretend not to know and cover up the truth!
Yesterday, as soon as Lou Chen began interrogating them, he said they might be spies from an enemy country and that they should be taken back to the capital for further investigation!

I wonder if Pei Yuanjun knows about this?

She glanced at Pei Yuanjun and noticed that her gaze remained fixed on her, as if afraid that something might happen to her.

When she looked at him, he asked with his eyes if something was wrong. Was she hungry?
Qi Yunran rolled her eyes. Did they think she was a pig? Eat and sleep, sleep and eat?

Lou Mingzhu clenched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands; they had ignored her again!
She tried to approach him affectionately, but Pei Yuanjun subtly stepped aside. Lou Mingzhu felt embarrassed and said, "Brother Jun, what are you doing? I just wanted Sister Yunran to take us to see the amazing bicycle race she described!"

Pei Yuanjun looked at her with deep eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts and soul!

Lou Mingzhu immediately avoided his gaze, not daring to meet his eyes!
"It's nothing. It's just that yesterday, Physician Fang said my wife had a miscarriage, so I'm afraid we can't fulfill Princess Mingzhu's wish. Why don't you go there yourself with your maid? There are dedicated customer service staff there; you can ask them anything you want to know!"

Lou Mingzhu was furious inside, but her face showed a hint of grievance: "Brother Jun, why are you being so distant with Zhuzhu?"

Lou Chen calmly watched the drama unfold, ignoring the fact that his younger sister had fallen for Pei Yuanjun three years ago. She even declared she would marry no one but him, causing him considerable headaches. Torn between a loyal and capable minister who would rather die than agree to his proposal and a sister who insisted on marrying him, he was truly caught in the middle!
Mingzhu has come to him several times to request imperial decrees! If it weren't for his consideration of Pei Yuanjun's temper and the royal uncle, Prince Zhengyang, who helped him ascend the throne but asked for nothing in return!

It seems he genuinely wants to facilitate this marriage. He came here this time for two reasons: to see the eldest prince and to see Prime Minister Qi Yunran's wife.

To see what charm she possessed, she used her as an excuse to repeatedly refuse his offer to marry his only younger sister to him, even when the Prime Minister was suffering from amnesia!

In his initial imagination, Qi Yunran would be a frail and delicate woman, a peasant girl who needed to rely on men to survive!

He wanted to wait until Pei Yuanjun's initial infatuation wore off in two or three years before betrothing Mingzhu to him! By then, their feelings would have faded considerably, and Pei Yuanjun wouldn't complain.

Even the king's uncle couldn't reprimand him; he had even won over a loyal minister—a win-win situation!
It wasn't until he met Qi Yunran that he realized that, given her talent and confidence, she wouldn't stay for a man.

If Pei Yuanjun really betrayed her, she would probably dump him and live a carefree life on her own!

In an instant, it piqued his interest, and his original intention to make things difficult for her was completely extinguished.

Why is it that Pei Yuanjun has such an interesting wife? None of the concubines in his harem can compare to her.

For reasons unknown, he allowed Mingzhu to cause trouble for him!

When he saw her fall from the building yesterday, his body tensed up for a moment.

But deep down, I wish her child would just die from the fall!
