Chapter 1523 Eye Drops
When Luo Lu heard the news from his men, he immediately stood up from his chair, frowned and asked:
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"My prince, the eldest and second princes were attacked while on duty. Fortunately, the two princes were well protected and their lives were not in danger. However, the assassins escaped very quickly and left no one alive. However..."

"But what? Just tell me."

"I heard that the few bodies left behind proved that the person who assassinated the two princes was from Daqian."

After the subordinate finished speaking, he secretly glanced at his prince.

"Daqian's people, do you mean Anping's men?"

Luo Lu narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously.

"I don't know. I'm afraid I need to ask the princess."

"Are my two good brothers okay?"

"I heard that the injury is quite serious. The specific situation needs to be investigated."

"Keep on finding out."

"Yes!"

After his men left, Luo Lu felt something was wrong and immediately took his men back to his mansion.

Lianyi was embroidering on a whim, but her ears were not idle either. She was listening to Duoduo's latest report and was very satisfied with Duoduo's flexible approach.

"Well done. Once this mission is completed, I will let you practice on the spiritual essence for a while."

Lian Yi drew a pie.

"Thank you, Master!"

Duoduo shook her flower plate proudly, and then said:

"Master, Luolu is back and he's probably going to cause you trouble."

"I see."

Lianyi pretended not to know and continued embroidering.

When Luo Lu came in, he saw Lian Yi embroidering with an embroidery frame. He slowed down his pace, waved his hand to stop Yue Jue and Yue Lang who came to pay their respects, and asked with a smile:
"What is the lady embroidering?"

Lianyi raised her head, gave Luolu a charming smile and said:

"Why did my husband come back at this time? I have nothing to do so I embroider to kill time."

"I have something important to tell you, so I came straight back."

As Luo Lu spoke, he was also observing Lianyi's expression, trying to find clues from the other person's face.

Lianyi just nodded and said to Yuejue and Yuelang:
"Go and tell the kitchen to prepare two dishes that your husband likes. The prince will have lunch at the mansion today."

"Yes, princess."

The two men bowed, then tactfully left the room, closing the door behind them.

Lianyi also put down the embroidery frame in her hand, looked at Luo Lu and asked:

"My dear, is there anything important you can tell me?"

"My eldest brother and second brother were attacked."

Luo Lu said straight to the point.

Lian Yi was stunned at first, then a little surprised, and then looked at Luo Lu and said disapprovingly:

"My husband, you are being a little rash."

Luo Lu said expressionlessly:
"I did not do that."

"If it wasn't you, then your husband suspected that it was me?"

Ripple asked, clenching her hands.

"Is not it?"

Luo Lu asked back. Lian Yi shook his head seriously and said:

"No, how could I do such a thing without discussing it with my husband? Isn't this obviously pointing the finger at us?
Although I also want to retaliate, after all, my husband was seriously injured and I lost my dowry worth ten thousand taels of gold, but I won't be so reckless and I won't choose this time."

Luo Lu rubbed his fingers and thought carefully, and felt that what Lianyi said made sense, but he still looked into Lianyi's eyes and said:
"My two brothers also have experts under their command. They spared the lives of several assassins. It is said that they were from Daqian."

Lian Yi frowned after hearing this, and then said with certainty:
"Husband, please believe me, I did not give such an order."

"If the eldest and second brothers want to confront each other face to face, would you dare to go?"

Luo Lu asked tentatively.

"Of course, I will never admit to something I haven't done, but it's also possible that my subordinates acted on their own."

Ripples still provide a possibility.

Luo Lu immediately raised his eyebrows and said:

"If it's really like what you said, they acted on their own, then you'd better not have such subordinates, lest they bite back and hurt you one day."

Lian Yi's face also darkened. She nodded and said:

"If these people are pretending to obey but actually disobeying, there is really no need to keep them."

"You check it out first. I'll ask them to get more information."

Luo Lu said that since the incident had already happened, even if he did not admit it, his two brothers would suspect him. Anyway, their lives were not in danger, so he might as well just treat it as tit-for-tat and everyone would be even.

He is now more concerned about the people under Lianyi. He doesn't know how many useful people Daqian has prepared for her. It would be best if these people could be used by him.

The two of them had lunch with their own thoughts, and then Lianyi pretended to let Yuejue go out to pass on the message.

When Luo Lu came back from court in the evening, Lian Yi had regained his composure. After sending the servants away, he said with certainty:

"My husband, it wasn't done by my men. They have all stayed in Nahe City and have never left. No one is injured."

Luo Lu also received further news before he came back, but it was hard for him to explain at this time. After listening to Lian Yi's words, he sighed:
"I have also received the latest news. The people killed by my brother's men are indeed from Daqian. They are Daqian's spies."

"How could that be? Didn't I give you the list of Daqian's spies? Could there be someone else I don't know about? Is the list I gave you fake?"

Ripple frowned and asked.

Luo Lu's eyes turned and he said in a deep voice:

"I have already controlled the spies on the list Madam gave me. I don't know where these people came from this time. They were quick, accurate and ruthless. They retreated quickly after missing a strike and didn't want to fight at all. It is obvious that they have received special training. They must be someone other than the one on the list you gave me."

Lian Yi's face darkened terribly after hearing this. After a moment, he punched the table and laughed in anger:
"My father is so kind! On the one hand, he asked me to work for Daqian, but on the other hand, he didn't trust me and gave me a fake list. Then he did this to me. He was afraid that I would have a smooth life in Luopan!"

The last two words were almost squeezed out from between Lianyi's teeth.

Luo Lu curled the corners of his lips, then quickly retracted them, took Lian Yi's hand, and said distressedly:

"Ma'am, anger is harmful to your health. It's not worth it for those who use you as a pawn."

Lian Yi smiled miserably and said weakly:
"Luo Lu, I feel sad. I thought they just gave up on me, but I didn't expect that they not only gave up on me, but also wanted to use me as cannon fodder. Isn't this putting me to death?

Have they never considered that if something really happened to the two princes, would King Luo Pan let me go? And what would you do to me? "

"Ripple, they know, they just don't care."

Luo Pan took the opportunity to apply eye drops.

"You're right, they just don't care!"

"Lian Yi, don't be sad. They don't care about you, but I do. I will explain this to my father. Don't worry. As long as you are my princess, I will protect you."

Luo Lu said affectionately.

"Okay, I believe you!"

Lianyi's eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall. She was so moved that she leaned her head gently on Luolu's shoulder, behaving very obediently.

"Master, he deceived you!"
