The scumbag wiped out my entire family, I was reborn to marry the villain prince

Chapter 51 Are you testing me?

After returning from Shengyuan Mountain, He Junxuan sent people to interrogate Abbot Wangchen day and night.

Since the establishment of Yingsha Pavilion ten years ago, He Junxuan's range of influence has become increasingly wide.

As the head of Yingsha Pavilion, he has had some dealings with each of the princes to some extent.

Once by chance, he cooperated with King Ning and learned that Abbot Wang Chen was an undercover agent sent by King Ning to Xuantian Temple.

Just yesterday, Wang Chen finally couldn't stand the torture and confessed that the Jueyin Grass he gave to Fahui was given to him by King Ning.

What’s even more coincidental is that Jueyin grass can only grow in extremely harsh and yin places.

In other words, both Jueyin Grass and Nine-Layered Lotus need to grow in extremely yin places, and both are extremely rare, while Wang Chen and Bai Yuan are both King Ning's men.

Are there really such coincidences in this world?

Looking at He Junxuan's eyes as deep as an icy abyss in a cold pond, a hint of doubt arose in Lu Qingyu's heart.

In her previous life, she did not think too much about the origin of the Nine-Layered Lotus. After all, saving people was the most important thing.

But now that He Junxuan mentioned it, she also felt that something was wrong.

The natural output of Nine-Layered Lotus is absolutely not enough to treat all the patients in the capital.

so.
Someone must have known in advance that such a plague would break out, so they prepared a large number of Nine-Layered Lotus in advance.

Lu Qingyu and He Junxuan looked at each other. Although there was a certain information gap, a common guess was about to emerge.

"Your Highness, do you also suspect that there is something wrong with Prince Ning?" Lu Qingyu asked in a deep voice.

He Junxuan nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Lu Qingyu about the matter of Abbot Wangchen.

"The third brother has always had a great desire for Xuantian Temple, so he spent a lot of money to promote Wangchen's family members to higher positions in order to win over Wangchen to work for him. The compound crossbow in Fahui's hand is what the third brother has always wanted, and the Jueyin grass was also given to Wangchen by the third brother."

Lu Qingyu's mind turned slightly, and he grasped the key point. "The growth environment of Jueyin grass and Jiuchonglian is extremely similar, so the plague may be the work of King Ning."

He Junxuan nodded, and a faint light flashed in his dark pupils.

"The third child has been thoughtful since he was young, and the outside world has mixed opinions about him. Some say he is humble and polite, and loves his wife dearly, while others say he is cold-blooded and ruthless. If he was really the one behind this plague, I wouldn't be surprised."

Lu Qingyu also nodded. Prince Ning’s personality was indeed like that.

"If it was really Prince Ning who planned this plague, he must have wanted the reputation of turning the tide and saving the lives of the people in the city."

After a moment of silence, Lu Qingyu raised his eyes and looked at He Junxuan, with a strange light flashing in his dark pupils.

"Your Highness, I have the recipe in my hand now. The plague will break out in about a week. If Your Highness also needs this achievement, I can take out the recipe and become the savior.

As for the medicinal materials, if Prince Ning still wants to have a share, he must take the initiative to offer the Nine-Layered Lotus."

He Junxuan's deep and unfathomable eyes paused for a moment on Lu Qingyu's face, and then he slightly curled his lips, revealing an intriguing and evil smile.

"Lu Qingyu, are you testing me?"

Lu Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing an innocent look, "I am a pure-hearted servant, and I am only concerned about your reputation. How could I test you?"

He Junxuan chuckled and looked towards the distant sky with his slightly cold eyes.

"If I really agreed, you probably wouldn't give me the prescription. For the sake of the title of savior, you delayed the time of coming up with the prescription and ignored the lives of the people. Is such a King Li..." He Junxuan turned his head and stared at Lu Qingyu and said word by word, "Is he still worthy of your love?" The eyes of the two were closely intertwined, and the air seemed to be stagnant.

Amidst the conflicting gazes, Lu Qingyu suddenly smiled, "Your Highness really loves the people like his own children. It seems that the rumors about your Highness being cruel and ruthless are all false. Qingyu has great respect for your Highness."

He Junxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the look in his dark pupils was dark and unclear.

Lu Qingyu's words made him feel somewhat emotional.

He grew up in the cannibalistic palace, but his father, the emperor, gave him tremendous power and allowed him to go into battle at the age of twelve.

All of his royal brothers regarded him, the younger brother who was particularly favored by their father, as a thorn in their eyes.

In the continuous struggle, He Junxuan also understood a truth: the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

His own power and status are already comparable to that of the crown prince. If his conduct and reputation are also popular among the people, it would be too dangerous for Your Majesty and your brothers.

Retracting his thoughts, He Junxuan's eyes fell on Lu Qingyu again.

"If Miss Lu trusts me, you can give me the prescription. I will report the plague to my father and send people to seal off the source of the epidemic in advance. As for the Nine-fold Lotus, I will temporarily requisition all the stocks in the Kyoto Pharmacy, and then wait for the Third Brother's reaction."

Lu Qingyu pondered for a moment, "I will write the prescription to His Highness right away. As for Prince Ning, Princess Ning said that she would find a chance to sneak into Prince Ning's secret room to see if she could find the Phoenix Fruit. Perhaps, there are clues related to the plague in that secret room."

"Sure, if you have any news, please contact me at any time."

After a pause, He Junxuan suddenly remembered that Lu Qingyu originally had two things to say.

"Now that you've talked about the second thing, what's your first thing?"

Lu Qingyu took out Lu Yiner's note from her arms and handed it to He Junxuan.

"This was sent by Lu Yiner herself. She said that Ming Zichuan killed Ming Ziluo and then framed the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. So I would like to ask Your Highness to do me a favor and see if we can find evidence in this direction."

He Junxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are really rude. Are you so sure that I will help you?"

Lu Qingyu smiled slightly, and her gentle tone was filled with a little girl's shyness, "Your Highness and I have a deep connection. Please help Qingyu with this."

Looking at the girl's slightly flushed cheeks, He Junxuan silently looked away and said in a faint voice, "Lu Qingyu, you are not the kind of person who would beg others to be humble and act like a spoiled child. You'd better stop pretending in front of this king."

Lu Qingyu's expression froze for a moment, and he touched his nose awkwardly, "Your Highness, please give me some face."

"Okay, I can help you with this. It's also a way to repay you for detoxifying me."

Lu Qingyu's face lit up with joy, she had come here with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Lu Qingyu wrote down Bai Yuan's prescription from memory, He Junxuan took the prescription and left the yard.

He wants to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

After Lu Qingyu comforted Sasha, he returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

As for Sasha's medicine, it was left to He Junxuan to deal with. Lu Qingyu also had to prepare an unforgettable birthday gift for her second aunt.
