Chapter 152 Promise me a condition
Chapter 152 Promise me a condition
When the door of the hall opened, many people stood outside the hall. At this time, the door was not closed, and Lu Pingjie's words were clearly heard in everyone's ears.
"Uncle Ankang, Lu Congyuan?" The queen mother was taken aback, isn't that Lu Xinyan's father?Here the daughter saved the emperor, but there it was found out that the father murdered the emperor?
what's the problem?Could it be that all of this is the result of their cooperation?
The queen mother has not explained the cause and effect to Emperor Longde, but what kind of person is Emperor Longde, from the moment the bloody BMW suddenly lost control and threw him off the horse, he realized that this was a conspiracy against him. After a few words of dialogue, he had guessed the matter to seven or eight points.
Emperor Longde had a gloomy face, "Come here, immediately put Lu Congyuan into the prison..."
When he hadn't decided on who would preside over the case, Zuo Du Yushi Zhonghan stood up and said, "I wish to preside over this case and thoroughly investigate the real culprit!"
"Zhong Aiqing, you are given three days to investigate this case!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhong Han replied loudly.
Emperor Longde was already weak and frail, but when he got angry, he was panting badly, and his whole body was groggy.
The queen mother hurriedly helped him to lie down, "Bai Zhi..." Suddenly remembered that Lu Congyuan was the biggest suspect in the murder of Emperor Longde, and immediately changed her words, "Doctor Zhou, Doctor Luo, and Doctor Liu, come in and take a look for the emperor!"
At this time, a lot of people rushed in. The people from the Tai Hospital had already arrived when Bai Zhi was giving acupuncture, but they didn't dare to interrupt casually at that time, and they all waited outside. Now when the Queen Mother calls, it doesn't matter He called out to himself, since he was here, he had to show his face.
The three imperial physicians who were named hurriedly stepped forward to feel the pulse of Emperor Longde, and all three of them were stunned.
"How?" Seeing that they did not speak, the Queen Mother became anxious.
Imperial Physician Zhou tried his best to hide the surprised expression on his face, and said: "Going back to the empress dowager, the emperor's pulse is gradually calming down except for a little faintness. As long as the adjustment is done properly, it will soon return to normal."
The Queen Mother let out a long breath, "Thank God, thank you Bodhisattva for your protection, thank you ancestors for your protection."
There was a burst of congratulations from the ministers and concubines.
"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, God bless me, Tianwu, the emperor is blessed with great blessings!" Shen Qingzhu congratulated her with a sharp voice, and then said: "However, I feel that An Kangbo murdered the emperor, but Miss Lu is here to save the emperor. If there is any conspiracy, the Queen Mother must thoroughly investigate it to the end!"
Zhong Han said: "Come here, detain Lu Xinyan, the daughter of the guilty minister Lu Congyuan!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.
After all, Lu Xinyan risked her life just now and asked her maid to administer needles to the emperor, saving the emperor's life!At first, I thought that I would climb to the top of the branch in one step, but now I will become a prisoner instead. Everyone's thoughts are very delicate for a while!
"Grandmother!" Wu Zhen knelt on the ground, "Regardless of whether An Kangbo is guilty or not, Chang'an believes that this matter has nothing to do with Zhuzhu, otherwise she just said that she was not sure about saving her father, but in the end she took the risk to ask for help." Ask Bai Zhi to give acupuncture to the father, and ask the emperor's grandmother to learn from it!"
"Grandmother, grandson agrees with the third sister's statement, An Kangbo is An Kangbo, Miss Lu is Miss Lu, grandson believes this, Miss Lu must not know!" Wu Sheng said.
Gongsun Mobai and Yan Yulang pleaded at the same time, "Empress Dowager, if Miss Lu is harmful to others, she will never let Miss Baizhi help!"
The Feng family also interceded, "The empress dowager, the minister's wife is willing to guarantee with all her strength that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Zhuzhu."
"Empress Dowager, these are everyone's guesses now. I believe that we must be impartial. Waiting for Mr. Zhong to find out the truth, we will know whether there is any conspiracy behind this, and we must not let the tiger go back to the mountain!" Kong Tingyu said.
Shen Qingzhu said: "As the future in-laws of the Ankangbo Mansion, I should help the relatives or not. This matter should be handled by the public. It should not be favoritism. Use evidence to speak, and you can't act emotionally!"
Wu Zhen said: "Grandmother, why don't you let Zhuzhu go back to the palace with Chang'an, Chang'an will definitely watch over her and won't let her leave, if anything goes wrong, Chang'an is willing to bear all the consequences!"
The rest of the people remained on the sidelines and kept silent. Even Wu Wan, who wanted to take the opportunity to step on Lu Xinyan, was held down by the queen and she was not allowed to say a word.
The Empress Dowager was hesitating, when Emperor Longde on the couch suddenly said: "Empress Mother, just follow Chang'an's words!"
"Understood, Emperor." The Empress Dowager said: "You should rest well first, don't worry about such things anymore, let Zhong Aiqing handle it."
Lu Xinyan knelt down to thank her, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, for your kindness."
Her expression was indifferent, so that no one could see anything wrong or panic, but some ministers who were not familiar with her were amazed: under such extreme changes, she was still honored and not surprised. This woman is by no means an ordinary person!
Qingtong came back quietly at some point, and gave Lu Xinyan a wink, expressing that the arrangements had been made.
Lu Xinyan withdrew her gaze, and calmly looked at the shining marble floor in the hall.
From the moment the veterinarian Wan came in and said that the emperor's bloody BMW had been drugged, Lu Xinyan had already realized that Lu Congyuan, as the chancellor of the Taipu Temple, would never escape joint and several liability!That's why she strongly advocated Bai Zhi to heal Emperor Longde in order to make up for her mistakes!Of course, what she wants to save is not Lu Congyuan, but herself, Lu Ziyi, and everyone in Huanxiyuan!
But what she didn't expect was that the Yulin Army actually found two packs of heartbroken grass in Lu Congyuan's study!With Lu Congyuan's temperament, Lu Xinyan would never believe that he had the courage to murder Emperor Longde, and if he killed Emperor Longde, what good would it do Lu Congyuan?
Then the only possibility is that Lu Congyuan was framed by someone!Lu Congyuan, as an inconspicuous third-rank uncle in Beijing, who wants power but no power, money but no money, just has the name of Uncle Xu, so he never dares to offend anyone easily, so whoever framed him like this will be punished. He died?
Lu Xinyan thought about it, and then thought of herself, it seems that the person behind the scenes is playing tricks again!
If Lu Congyuan is convicted and his home is ransacked, his dowry can be easily taken away by him!
It seems that the last time the leather goods shop blatantly came to provoke him, it completely angered that person, and asking him to take action is a killer move!
As the daughter of the most suspected murderer of the emperor, Lu Xinyan could only stay with Wu Zhen and could not go back to the courtyard where she lived with Feng's Gong Jin.
Before Feng Shi left, she said: "Zhu Zhu, don't be afraid. Grandmother believes that this matter has nothing to do with you. Master Zhong will clear your name."
Lu Xinyan pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled, she didn't take this matter to heart, talking about Gong Jin's matter, "Grandmother, there is something I wanted to tell you later, but now I have to tell you in advance. "
"What's the matter?" Feng suddenly became nervous.
"Si Gu's injury that I told you about in the morning, the injury on Si Gu's body, is indeed not a serious problem, and it will be healed after a few days of rest, but," Lu Xinyan thought about it, "The injury on Si Gu's right cheek probably...needs recuperation For a long time, please don't worry too much."
"Nursing for quite a long time?" Feng shivered and gasped, "You mean Jin'er, disfigured?"
"Grandmother, I will find a way to cure Fourth Aunt's face! Please believe me! But during the period of healing, please take good care of her." The ancient woman's face was so big that Lu Xinyan couldn't guarantee it. Is Jin the kind of person who values face and is worried that she won't think about it.
"Grandmother knows. Grandmother will handle Jin'er's affairs according to her own circumstances." Even if she couldn't protect herself, and had to worry about Gong Jin's face, Feng was moved and heartbroken, "Zhuzhu, be careful yourself, what do you need grandma?" Where to help, as long as grandma can do it, she will do her best to help you."
"Thank you grandma." Lu Xinyan showed a relaxed smile, "I haven't slept all night, grandma, you are also tired, go back and rest soon."
Because Emperor Longde was injured, everyone stayed up all night. After going back to rest for a day, on the morning of the nineteenth, under the leadership of Emperor Longde and the Queen Mother, everyone left Yunxiao Villa.
Lu Xinyan and Qingtong Baizhi followed Wu Zhen to her Fengyang Palace.
This time Wu Zhen didn't let her live in the side hall, but let her sleep with her, "Zhuzhu, I told my grandmother and father that I won't leave you for a moment, so you can sleep with me." .” Wu Zhen explained in this way.
Lu Xinyan knew that she meant well, and said with a smile: "Thank you princess, but I don't sleep well, snore, fart and kick people, the princess should take care of me."
Wu Zhen opened her eyes wide.
Lu Xinyan laughed out loud, and Wu Zhen realized that she had been played by her, gritted her teeth and said: "Zhuzhu, you are heartless, you are still in the mood to joke at this time!" Then sighed, and said: "But you are like this, I'm also relieved, it's better than frowning."
"I believe the emperor will restore my innocence." Lu Xinyan said: "But princess, there is something I would like to ask you to help."
Wu Zhen asked: "What's the matter?"
"I want to visit my father in prison. I believe he doesn't have the guts to frame the emperor. He must have been framed. I want to ask him to see if I can find any clues! Princess, I can't just wait for Master Zhong , After all, this is related to the life and death of the entire Ankang Mansion." Lu Xinyan guessed that Lu Congyuan was in prison at the moment and did not know what happened, and was worried that he would be tortured, after all, the emperor only gave him three days, and now more than a day has passed.
Wu Zhen thought for a while, "I'll take you to beg the imperial grandmother."
Lu Xinyan said gratefully, "Thank you, princess."
"You and I don't need to say thank you. If you want to say thank you, you let Bai Zhi save the father. I haven't thanked you yet."
The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.
The Empress Dowager went well beyond Lu Xinyan's expectations, and the Empress Dowager probably felt that since Lu Xinyan had worked so hard to save the Emperor, there must be something behind this matter!
Moreover, as the only person in Ankangbo's mansion who was not imprisoned, it was reasonable for Lu Xinyan to propose to visit the prison!
All males over ten years old in Ankangbo Mansion were imprisoned in the sky prison, while female family members were imprisoned in Ankangbo Mansion and were not allowed to enter or leave at will.
The visit was arranged in the evening, and it was said that Zhong Han was interrogating at this time, and it was not appropriate to be disturbed.
Lu Xinyan followed Wu Zhen back to Fengyang Palace to rest.
As soon as he returned to Fengyang Palace, Song Zhao quickly closed the door, and nervously took out a letter, "Miss Lu, a letter from the third prince."
"Thank you, Sister Songzhao!" Lu Xinyan took the letter and opened it. The letter was not written by Wu Sheng, but someone entrusted Wu Sheng to forward it to her.
After Lu Xinyan asked Qingtong to leave quietly that day, Qingtong went to find Gong Jin, and asked Gong Jin to go back to find Uncle Tian, and told Uncle Tian about the drugged bloody BMW, and asked him to find Qi Fei to help investigate together.
Gong Jin realized that the problem was serious, and after Feng Shi returned early yesterday morning, the two of them made a plan, and Gong Jin left a letter on the grounds that she hurt her face and felt uncomfortable and didn't want to see anyone, and left alone with Qiuhua Qiushuang.
After Feng Shi woke up at noon, she pretended not to know that Gong Jin had left. After reading the letter, she was very sad. When she greeted the queen mother in the afternoon, she unintentionally shed tears and said about it, and said that Gong Jin had left early because of Lu Xinyan's entrustment. The matter was concealed seamlessly, so the queen mother comforted her for a while.
Although few people knew about Gong Jin's injury, Empress Wu Wan knew about it, so no one doubted it at all.
After Gong Jin went back, he found Uncle Tian immediately. Uncle Tian was not in the Ankangbo Mansion when it was blocked, so he just escaped the catastrophe.
The letter Lu Xinyan received at this time was the result of Qi Fei and Uncle Tian's investigation yesterday.
Time was running out, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate intervened. What they found was limited. For the time being, they only found the [-]th day, the day before the winter solstice festival. Lu Congyuan was the last person who touched the sweaty BMW. Shaoqing, check whether there is anything wrong with the imperial horse traveling on the winter solstice. Later, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple suddenly became unwell, and Lu Congyuan, who was about to leave, checked on his behalf. Coincidentally, during the inspection, Lu Congyuan was serving the groom of the imperial horse. , happened not to be there at the time, which was also one of the reasons why Lu Pingjie was later ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of the Taipu Temple, and quickly identified Lu Congyuan as a suspect!At this time, Uncle Tian sent people to investigate the Shaoqing of Taipusi. On the other hand, Qi Fei arranged for people to search in the forest of Yunxiao Villa, hoping to find new evidence.
When Lu Xinyan received this letter, she felt much more at ease. If she could find new evidence, it would definitely buy time for Ankangbo Mansion, and Uncle Tian and Qi Fei would also have more time to find out about this matter.
The two were looking outside to find out who caused Lu Congyuan to get into this situation, so she would start from Lu Congyuan and find the most likely suspect beside him.
In the evening, accompanied by Song Zhao, Lu Xin and Yan Qingtong went to the prison.
The Heavenly Prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is worthy of being a Royal Heavenly Prison. It is spacious, clean and dry, not at all cold and damp as in the legend.
Walking down the stone steps, there are soldiers in armor and holding weapons on both sides. The walls are covered with torture instruments of various colors. Under the reflection of the flickering lights on the walls, the cold light is horrifying. The screams made people feel the majesty of the prison that cannot be underestimated.
The soldiers leading the way brought Lu Xinyan to the innermost part of the cell, "Miss Lu, we're almost there, turn a corner and you'll be in the cell of Ankang Bo's mansion."
Just as he was talking, a person suddenly appeared at the corner in front of him, and almost bumped into him. The soldier hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Mr. Zhong!"
Zhong Han is in his 40s, with a thin face. At this time, he reprimanded him with a sullen face, "Walk better in the future!"
The soldier quickly said: "Yes, Master Zhong, I'm sorry, Master Zhong."
Zhong Han glanced at Lu Xinyan, "Who is this?"
There were too many people in the hall that day, Zhong Han only knew about Lu Xinyan, but he didn't see her face clearly.
"Little girl Lu Xinyan, I have met Master Zhong!" Lu Xinyan gave a little blessing.
The gloom on Zhong Han's face dissipated, and he said with a faint smile: "Miss Lu has some skills, but this day's prison is not the place for you girls to come, you should go back and hide under the wings of Princess Chang'an, maybe you can escape a little while." robbery!"
Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "The little girl came to visit the prison at the order of the Queen Mother Yi."
It means that I came because the queen mother asked me to come, and if you think about it, I can't leave, because the queen mother can't resist.
Zhong Han's face turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "Then you should try to persuade your father, the evidence is conclusive, and quickly plead guilty, admitting that because he has not been reused for many years, he has resentment towards the emperor, so he poisoned the royal horse, so as not to suffer alive !"
After he finished speaking, he tossed his long sleeves, and walked straight away regardless of Lu Xinyan's expression.
Lu Xinyan looked at his back, thinking about what he said just now, she couldn't help frowning.
"Miss Lu, this way please." The soldier urged: "There are regulations on the visiting time, if it's too late, it's not easy to explain to the higher-ups."
Even with the Queen Mother in hand, some rules still have to be followed, Lu Xinyan said: "Brother who understands, I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
When they arrived at the cell where Lu Congyuan and others were being held, Qingtong stuffed a big red envelope into the soldier's hand, and the soldier immediately smiled, "Miss Lu, I will try to delay you for a while."
Lu Congyuan, who was originally dejected, immediately raised his head when he heard Miss Lu's address, his eyes glowed and he rushed to the edge of the prison, grabbing the pillar of the prison door, and said excitedly: "Xinyan, Xinyan, are you here to rescue daddy? Hurry up!" Rescue daddy, daddy didn't prescribe medicine, didn't harm the emperor, daddy is innocent."
Lu Xinyan walked towards him, Lu Congyuan was about to say something more, but saw that Lu Xinyan did not stop, but continued to walk inside.
"elder brother."
"Zhuzhu, you're here." Lu Ziyi in the cell looked at Lu Xinyan with a smile, and after looking her up and down, she felt relieved, "Fortunately, you're fine."
Because it has only been locked up for two days, Lu Ziyi seems to be fine for the time being, and she has not been tortured. Lu Xinyan is also relieved. She is most afraid that Zhong Han will be tortured because of time constraints, "Brother is fine, I don't worry, I will find a way rescued you."
Lu Ziyi smiled wryly and said, "My brother is really useless, he can't help you with anything, and I need you to worry about me."
"Brother, don't say that. No one expected this accident." Lu Xinyan said, "Brother, I don't have much time. I have something to ask my father. Let's talk after we get out."
"Go, Zhuzhu, take care of yourself, if necessary..." Lu Ziyi took a deep look at Lu Xinyan, which meant that if necessary, she should save her life alone.
Lu Xinyan nodded with a smile, then turned and walked towards Lu Congyuan's cell.
Lu Congyuan put his hot face on his cold butt. At this time, his face was so stiff that he would have scolded him for being unfilial, but at this time, the only person who could save him was Lu Xinyan. He had no choice but to suppress it. Stay angry and greet with a smile.
Seeing Lu Xinyan approaching, Lu Congyuan took out a green jade pendant from his bosom, "Xinyan, you give this to the emperor. When the emperor sees this jade pendant, he will definitely let my Ankang family go."
At first glance, the jade was of the highest quality, with excellent color. Lu Xinyan reached out to take it, "What is this? Is it something like a gold medal for avoiding death?"
Lu Congyuan frowned, and was extremely unwilling to answer, "Don't ask too many questions, anyway, just find a way to hand it over to the emperor."
Lu Xinyan smiled, "Father, are you begging me for help now?"
When you ask for help, you have to look like you are asking for help!
Lu Congyuan couldn't help being angry, "How can you talk to me like this? I'm your father!"
"So what?" Lu Xinyan said lightly: "When Lu Xinwan pushed me into the water, you didn't care; Punish me to kneel for three days and three nights; once I was almost burned to death by Lu Xinwan, Lu Xinhan and Lu Xinyun, but after you found out, you just fined them three and grounded them for three days, and let them go lightly... There have been countless such things, father, you Since you never loved me as your daughter, how can you expect me to respect you as a father?"
That alienated and indifferent attitude made Lu Congyuan's heart suddenly chill. In his impression, no matter how much he disliked Lu Xinyan before, Lu Xinyan always unconsciously showed a look of longing for father's love, as long as he was a little more pleasant to her , she can be happy for several days.
However, since when did she become the one who didn't care about him?
Since the first day Lu Xinyan returned home, because of the relationship between Wu Sheng, Wu Zhen and Gongsun Mobai giving gifts, Lu Congyuan understood that this daughter was no longer the Lu Xinyan whom he could scold at will, and simply avoided seeing her from time to time, so this month, The number of times the two met was extremely rare.
Therefore, under Lu Xinyan's rebuttal, Lu Congyuan was stunned for a while, and couldn't find anything to say to fight back!Of course, in such a situation where he wanted something from others, he didn't dare to fight back even if he wanted to. Lu Congyuan coughed twice and reluctantly said: "This jade pendant is a gift from King Rui, it represents his avatar, and it can save his life."
Lu Xinyan was really taken aback now. If she remembered correctly, Concubine Chen told her that when Lu Congyuan was young, she went to a brothel and met King Rui in disguise. The two fell in love with the same woman and fought, and Lu Congyuan injured Rui. Wang, even the Empress Dowager has always been displeased with Ankangbo Mansion!It stands to reason that the two should be rivals, so how could he have the life-saving jade pendant gifted by King Rui?
Lu Xinyan blinked, looked at Lu Congyuan, who was still handsome and unrestrained even though he was in prison, and suddenly his brain opened...
I heard that there is no concubine or concubine in Prince Rui's mansion, and there is only one adopted son. This makes people think that King Rui is either bad or has broken sleeves, so could it be that the two of them didn't fight for a woman at all, but Was it King Rui who fell in love with Lu Congyuan?In order to cover up King Rui's true orientation, the royal family deliberately made up a story about fighting for a woman to mislead the world?
The truth of the matter is that the two men fell in love, but later Lu Congyuan wanted to inherit the Ankang Mansion, so he had to marry a wife and have children. King Rui was hurt and left Beizhou... With Lu Congyuan's skin, King Ruorui is really a loser , all this is really possible!
Lu Xinyan was fascinated, and Lu Congyuan said: "You must hand this jade pendant into the hands of the emperor, you know? And hurry up! Before because of this jade pendant, Master Zhong didn't dare to torture me, so I am intact now , if he knows that Yu Pei is not on me, once torture is used, if I can't bear it and resort to random attacks, the whole Ankang Mansion will be over!"
"Why didn't father give the jade pendant to Mr. Zhong and ask him to hand it over to the emperor?" Lu Xinyan asked.
Lu Congyuan snorted, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but Lord Zhong forced me to confess as soon as he came, and made me admit that because I haven't been reused for many years, I have resentment towards the emperor, so I poisoned the royal horse and didn't listen to me at all. How can I give it to him with confidence? If he keeps it privately, then I won't even have the last life-saving talisman!"
Lu Xinyan put the jade pendant in her palm and rubbed it carefully, "Father, is the heartbroken grass in the study yours?"
Lu Congyuan is the same as all men, thinking that the business has nothing to do with women, so he said a little unhappy: "You are a woman, these things have nothing to do with you, you just need to hand in the jade pendant."
"Father, do you really think that this jade pendant can keep the entire Ankang Mansion safe?"
Lu Congyuan was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Father, do you know what crime you are committing now? That is the capital crime of murdering the emperor! King Rui is the emperor's brother. If it is for other things, no matter it is for the sake of the queen mother or for the sake of brotherhood." The emperor will listen to King Rui's requests and suggestions, but what is at stake now is the emperor's life! At this time, you still expect the emperor to let you go for the sake of King Rui, regardless of his own life. A horse? Maybe the emperor will think that King Rui ordered you to murder him, with the purpose of seizing the throne and the world! At that time, this piece of jade will not be a life-saving talisman, but a life-threatening talisman!"
Lu Xinyan said: "King Rui and the emperor have a good relationship, and they are far away in Beizhou. They have never had two hearts, so Mr. Zhong has not linked the murder of the emperor to King Rui for the time being. Once he reacts, father, can you Immediately, it will be more ominous than ominous!"
"No, it's impossible!" Lu Congyuan's face changed drastically, "He said that if this jade pendant can save his life, he will definitely save his life!"
"If this jade pendant was given to King Rui by the first emperor, and then King Rui gave it to you, your father, maybe you can save your life temporarily! However, once the emperor becomes suspicious of you, when will he want to kill you? Isn't that easy?" Lu Xinyan said: "So at present, the only way to keep the Ankangbo Mansion is to get rid of the crime!"
She asked again: "Father, is the heartbroken grass in the study yours?"
Lu Congyuan was silent for a while, as if he didn't want a woman like Lu Xinyan to interfere in these matters, but later he realized that what Lu Xinyan said just now was true, and getting rid of the charges was the only way out, and said: "Lu Youlang will find two packs of heartbroken grass in the study on the spot. , one on the bookshelf, one under the desk..."
He paused, and said with great difficulty, "The bag under the desk is not mine, but the bag on the bookshelf is mine."
Lu Xinyan was taken aback again.
No wonder since she came, Lu Congyuan has never complained, saying that someone put heartbroken grass in his study to frame him. It turned out that there was heartbroken grass in his study!
This is really, no one can argue!
"In father's study, why is there heartbroken grass?"
Lu Congyuan said impatiently: "If you have it, you have it. Why do you ask so much? In short, I have never given medicine to the bloody horse. Someone put the medicine under the desk."
Lu Congyuan's attitude of avoiding talking about it is very suspicious, but this is not the time to delve into it, because at least one thing Lu Xinyan is sure of is that Lu Congyuan will never have the guts to murder the emperor!Lu Xinyan no longer pursued this question, "Father's study, has anyone been in it recently?"
Lu Congyuan had thought about this question for a long time, and said a few names without the slightest hesitation. Most of them were officials below the fifth rank, and they were good friends with Lu Congyuan. No reason for them to kill me!"
Underappreciated?Lu Xinyan turned cold, Lu Congyuan, you are too good at putting gold on your face! "Apart from a few friends, has anyone else gone in?"
Lu Congyuan said: "Except for those few people, they are all from the mansion. Aning, Ziyi, Zili, Xinwan, Xinhan, second brother, and Ziwen have all gone in, but they have no reason to frame me. After all, this It is the matter of the Zhulian Nine Clans, harming me is equivalent to harming themselves!"
Killing the Nine Clans?Lu Xinyan's heart moved, if she remembered correctly, after Lu Ziwen tried to break into Huanxiyuan and was beaten by Lu Ziyi, Lu Congguang had already threatened to sever ties with Lu Congyuan and never communicate with him again!
Looking at Lu Congyuan's appearance, he didn't suspect Lu Congguang at all. He probably thought that Lu Congguang was angry because his son was beaten and said such heartless words. When Lu Congguang's anger disappeared, the two families would reconcile as before.
But Lu Xinyan didn't have such a naive idea!
Lu Congguang is a few years older than Lu Congyuan, and he has held important positions in the local area for more than ten years. He does not have any big backers on the surface, but he has been able to sit firmly in the position of the sixth-rank Qingzhou General Judge until now, and now he has a great chance of being promoted to Five grades of common knowledge, it shows that this person acts cautiously and will never let anyone catch him!
Now because my son made a mistake and was beaten first, in this ancient time where family relationships were extremely important, he opened his mouth and said that he would continue the relationship and never communicate with each other. It would be strange if there were no ghosts in it!
Lu Xinyan recalled what she had heard from Gao's before, about how picky Lu Ziwen was, thinking that the yard was not good, the decoration was not good, the variety of flowers was not good, the servants were not good at serving, the food was not good, the wine was not good... In short, it was Ankang Nothing in Bofu is as good!
Looking at it from another perspective, it can be understood that there is nothing in Ankangbo Mansion that Lu Ziwen can do to his liking!If the word got out, if someone misled it, they might think it was Ankangbo's mansion who treated Lu Ziwen and his son harshly!
The strange thing is that being a guest in someone's house is to do whatever you want, but Lu Congguang, who is strict in dealing with things, has never restrained Lu Ziwen's words and deeds in this regard, allowing him to make things difficult again and again!
Lu Xinyan smiled in her heart. In this case, there is only one reason: Lu Congguang came to the capital from Qingzhou for the position of Wupin Tongzhi, and also to sever ties with Ankangbo Mansion, so he condoned Lu Ziwen's words and deeds , Let him have a conflict with the Uncle Mansion, so as to find an opportunity to break with the Uncle Ankang Mansion.
Thinking deeper, this Lu Congguang is the person behind the scenes. The people behind the scene want to take her dowry, deal with Uncle Ankang's mansion, and don't want to hurt his capable subordinates. The simplest way is to It is for Lu Congguang to find an opportunity to draw a clear line with the Ankangbo Mansion!
The person behind the scenes of the leather goods war wanted to win back the game, but was humiliated by her again, so he ordered Lu Congguang to hide the heartbroken grass in Lu Congyuan's study, and then planned to get out of control with the bloody BMW poisoning, which injured the emperor and framed Lu Congyuan.
Lu Xinyan doesn't know if that person knows that Lu Congyuan has King Rui's life-saving jade pendant in his hand, but Lu Xinyan can be sure that matters related to the life of the emperor, not to mention just the life-saving jade pendant of King Rui, even if it is a gold medal for avoiding death personally bestowed by the emperor himself , can't save Lu Congyuan's life for the rest of his life!
This time the emperor was injured. Although Bai Zhi made great contributions to saving the emperor, the merits and demerits cannot be offset. Once convicted, the emperor and the queen mother will at most see their merits in saving him, leaving her, Lu Xinyan and Bai Zhi, with their lives. Including everyone in Huanxiyuan, they can't escape!At that time, Lu Xinyan's dowry will also be lost!
"Father, if I have a way to clear you of the crime, I hope you can agree to one condition!"
"Can you get rid of my charges?" Lu Congyuan's eyes were frenzied, and he didn't care what Lu Xinyan said behind him.
Lu Xinyan said: "I will try my best, but if I do it, I hope you can agree to one condition!"
"You can say whatever you want, as long as you can keep Ankangbo Mansion, don't say one, hundreds or thousands, I can do it, I promise you all!" Lu Congyuan hurriedly responded.
Lu Xinyan said: "If the Ankangbo Mansion is successfully out of danger this time, I hope you can welcome your mother's tablet into the Lu Family Ancestral Hall!"
"Welcome your mother's tablet into the Lu Family Ancestral Hall?" Lu Congyuan's complexion changed suddenly, and his tone resolutely refused, "No, absolutely not!"
(End of this chapter)
When the door of the hall opened, many people stood outside the hall. At this time, the door was not closed, and Lu Pingjie's words were clearly heard in everyone's ears.
"Uncle Ankang, Lu Congyuan?" The queen mother was taken aback, isn't that Lu Xinyan's father?Here the daughter saved the emperor, but there it was found out that the father murdered the emperor?
what's the problem?Could it be that all of this is the result of their cooperation?
The queen mother has not explained the cause and effect to Emperor Longde, but what kind of person is Emperor Longde, from the moment the bloody BMW suddenly lost control and threw him off the horse, he realized that this was a conspiracy against him. After a few words of dialogue, he had guessed the matter to seven or eight points.
Emperor Longde had a gloomy face, "Come here, immediately put Lu Congyuan into the prison..."
When he hadn't decided on who would preside over the case, Zuo Du Yushi Zhonghan stood up and said, "I wish to preside over this case and thoroughly investigate the real culprit!"
"Zhong Aiqing, you are given three days to investigate this case!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhong Han replied loudly.
Emperor Longde was already weak and frail, but when he got angry, he was panting badly, and his whole body was groggy.
The queen mother hurriedly helped him to lie down, "Bai Zhi..." Suddenly remembered that Lu Congyuan was the biggest suspect in the murder of Emperor Longde, and immediately changed her words, "Doctor Zhou, Doctor Luo, and Doctor Liu, come in and take a look for the emperor!"
At this time, a lot of people rushed in. The people from the Tai Hospital had already arrived when Bai Zhi was giving acupuncture, but they didn't dare to interrupt casually at that time, and they all waited outside. Now when the Queen Mother calls, it doesn't matter He called out to himself, since he was here, he had to show his face.
The three imperial physicians who were named hurriedly stepped forward to feel the pulse of Emperor Longde, and all three of them were stunned.
"How?" Seeing that they did not speak, the Queen Mother became anxious.
Imperial Physician Zhou tried his best to hide the surprised expression on his face, and said: "Going back to the empress dowager, the emperor's pulse is gradually calming down except for a little faintness. As long as the adjustment is done properly, it will soon return to normal."
The Queen Mother let out a long breath, "Thank God, thank you Bodhisattva for your protection, thank you ancestors for your protection."
There was a burst of congratulations from the ministers and concubines.
"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, God bless me, Tianwu, the emperor is blessed with great blessings!" Shen Qingzhu congratulated her with a sharp voice, and then said: "However, I feel that An Kangbo murdered the emperor, but Miss Lu is here to save the emperor. If there is any conspiracy, the Queen Mother must thoroughly investigate it to the end!"
Zhong Han said: "Come here, detain Lu Xinyan, the daughter of the guilty minister Lu Congyuan!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.
After all, Lu Xinyan risked her life just now and asked her maid to administer needles to the emperor, saving the emperor's life!At first, I thought that I would climb to the top of the branch in one step, but now I will become a prisoner instead. Everyone's thoughts are very delicate for a while!
"Grandmother!" Wu Zhen knelt on the ground, "Regardless of whether An Kangbo is guilty or not, Chang'an believes that this matter has nothing to do with Zhuzhu, otherwise she just said that she was not sure about saving her father, but in the end she took the risk to ask for help." Ask Bai Zhi to give acupuncture to the father, and ask the emperor's grandmother to learn from it!"
"Grandmother, grandson agrees with the third sister's statement, An Kangbo is An Kangbo, Miss Lu is Miss Lu, grandson believes this, Miss Lu must not know!" Wu Sheng said.
Gongsun Mobai and Yan Yulang pleaded at the same time, "Empress Dowager, if Miss Lu is harmful to others, she will never let Miss Baizhi help!"
The Feng family also interceded, "The empress dowager, the minister's wife is willing to guarantee with all her strength that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Zhuzhu."
"Empress Dowager, these are everyone's guesses now. I believe that we must be impartial. Waiting for Mr. Zhong to find out the truth, we will know whether there is any conspiracy behind this, and we must not let the tiger go back to the mountain!" Kong Tingyu said.
Shen Qingzhu said: "As the future in-laws of the Ankangbo Mansion, I should help the relatives or not. This matter should be handled by the public. It should not be favoritism. Use evidence to speak, and you can't act emotionally!"
Wu Zhen said: "Grandmother, why don't you let Zhuzhu go back to the palace with Chang'an, Chang'an will definitely watch over her and won't let her leave, if anything goes wrong, Chang'an is willing to bear all the consequences!"
The rest of the people remained on the sidelines and kept silent. Even Wu Wan, who wanted to take the opportunity to step on Lu Xinyan, was held down by the queen and she was not allowed to say a word.
The Empress Dowager was hesitating, when Emperor Longde on the couch suddenly said: "Empress Mother, just follow Chang'an's words!"
"Understood, Emperor." The Empress Dowager said: "You should rest well first, don't worry about such things anymore, let Zhong Aiqing handle it."
Lu Xinyan knelt down to thank her, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, for your kindness."
Her expression was indifferent, so that no one could see anything wrong or panic, but some ministers who were not familiar with her were amazed: under such extreme changes, she was still honored and not surprised. This woman is by no means an ordinary person!
Qingtong came back quietly at some point, and gave Lu Xinyan a wink, expressing that the arrangements had been made.
Lu Xinyan withdrew her gaze, and calmly looked at the shining marble floor in the hall.
From the moment the veterinarian Wan came in and said that the emperor's bloody BMW had been drugged, Lu Xinyan had already realized that Lu Congyuan, as the chancellor of the Taipu Temple, would never escape joint and several liability!That's why she strongly advocated Bai Zhi to heal Emperor Longde in order to make up for her mistakes!Of course, what she wants to save is not Lu Congyuan, but herself, Lu Ziyi, and everyone in Huanxiyuan!
But what she didn't expect was that the Yulin Army actually found two packs of heartbroken grass in Lu Congyuan's study!With Lu Congyuan's temperament, Lu Xinyan would never believe that he had the courage to murder Emperor Longde, and if he killed Emperor Longde, what good would it do Lu Congyuan?
Then the only possibility is that Lu Congyuan was framed by someone!Lu Congyuan, as an inconspicuous third-rank uncle in Beijing, who wants power but no power, money but no money, just has the name of Uncle Xu, so he never dares to offend anyone easily, so whoever framed him like this will be punished. He died?
Lu Xinyan thought about it, and then thought of herself, it seems that the person behind the scenes is playing tricks again!
If Lu Congyuan is convicted and his home is ransacked, his dowry can be easily taken away by him!
It seems that the last time the leather goods shop blatantly came to provoke him, it completely angered that person, and asking him to take action is a killer move!
As the daughter of the most suspected murderer of the emperor, Lu Xinyan could only stay with Wu Zhen and could not go back to the courtyard where she lived with Feng's Gong Jin.
Before Feng Shi left, she said: "Zhu Zhu, don't be afraid. Grandmother believes that this matter has nothing to do with you. Master Zhong will clear your name."
Lu Xinyan pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled, she didn't take this matter to heart, talking about Gong Jin's matter, "Grandmother, there is something I wanted to tell you later, but now I have to tell you in advance. "
"What's the matter?" Feng suddenly became nervous.
"Si Gu's injury that I told you about in the morning, the injury on Si Gu's body, is indeed not a serious problem, and it will be healed after a few days of rest, but," Lu Xinyan thought about it, "The injury on Si Gu's right cheek probably...needs recuperation For a long time, please don't worry too much."
"Nursing for quite a long time?" Feng shivered and gasped, "You mean Jin'er, disfigured?"
"Grandmother, I will find a way to cure Fourth Aunt's face! Please believe me! But during the period of healing, please take good care of her." The ancient woman's face was so big that Lu Xinyan couldn't guarantee it. Is Jin the kind of person who values face and is worried that she won't think about it.
"Grandmother knows. Grandmother will handle Jin'er's affairs according to her own circumstances." Even if she couldn't protect herself, and had to worry about Gong Jin's face, Feng was moved and heartbroken, "Zhuzhu, be careful yourself, what do you need grandma?" Where to help, as long as grandma can do it, she will do her best to help you."
"Thank you grandma." Lu Xinyan showed a relaxed smile, "I haven't slept all night, grandma, you are also tired, go back and rest soon."
Because Emperor Longde was injured, everyone stayed up all night. After going back to rest for a day, on the morning of the nineteenth, under the leadership of Emperor Longde and the Queen Mother, everyone left Yunxiao Villa.
Lu Xinyan and Qingtong Baizhi followed Wu Zhen to her Fengyang Palace.
This time Wu Zhen didn't let her live in the side hall, but let her sleep with her, "Zhuzhu, I told my grandmother and father that I won't leave you for a moment, so you can sleep with me." .” Wu Zhen explained in this way.
Lu Xinyan knew that she meant well, and said with a smile: "Thank you princess, but I don't sleep well, snore, fart and kick people, the princess should take care of me."
Wu Zhen opened her eyes wide.
Lu Xinyan laughed out loud, and Wu Zhen realized that she had been played by her, gritted her teeth and said: "Zhuzhu, you are heartless, you are still in the mood to joke at this time!" Then sighed, and said: "But you are like this, I'm also relieved, it's better than frowning."
"I believe the emperor will restore my innocence." Lu Xinyan said: "But princess, there is something I would like to ask you to help."
Wu Zhen asked: "What's the matter?"
"I want to visit my father in prison. I believe he doesn't have the guts to frame the emperor. He must have been framed. I want to ask him to see if I can find any clues! Princess, I can't just wait for Master Zhong , After all, this is related to the life and death of the entire Ankang Mansion." Lu Xinyan guessed that Lu Congyuan was in prison at the moment and did not know what happened, and was worried that he would be tortured, after all, the emperor only gave him three days, and now more than a day has passed.
Wu Zhen thought for a while, "I'll take you to beg the imperial grandmother."
Lu Xinyan said gratefully, "Thank you, princess."
"You and I don't need to say thank you. If you want to say thank you, you let Bai Zhi save the father. I haven't thanked you yet."
The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.
The Empress Dowager went well beyond Lu Xinyan's expectations, and the Empress Dowager probably felt that since Lu Xinyan had worked so hard to save the Emperor, there must be something behind this matter!
Moreover, as the only person in Ankangbo's mansion who was not imprisoned, it was reasonable for Lu Xinyan to propose to visit the prison!
All males over ten years old in Ankangbo Mansion were imprisoned in the sky prison, while female family members were imprisoned in Ankangbo Mansion and were not allowed to enter or leave at will.
The visit was arranged in the evening, and it was said that Zhong Han was interrogating at this time, and it was not appropriate to be disturbed.
Lu Xinyan followed Wu Zhen back to Fengyang Palace to rest.
As soon as he returned to Fengyang Palace, Song Zhao quickly closed the door, and nervously took out a letter, "Miss Lu, a letter from the third prince."
"Thank you, Sister Songzhao!" Lu Xinyan took the letter and opened it. The letter was not written by Wu Sheng, but someone entrusted Wu Sheng to forward it to her.
After Lu Xinyan asked Qingtong to leave quietly that day, Qingtong went to find Gong Jin, and asked Gong Jin to go back to find Uncle Tian, and told Uncle Tian about the drugged bloody BMW, and asked him to find Qi Fei to help investigate together.
Gong Jin realized that the problem was serious, and after Feng Shi returned early yesterday morning, the two of them made a plan, and Gong Jin left a letter on the grounds that she hurt her face and felt uncomfortable and didn't want to see anyone, and left alone with Qiuhua Qiushuang.
After Feng Shi woke up at noon, she pretended not to know that Gong Jin had left. After reading the letter, she was very sad. When she greeted the queen mother in the afternoon, she unintentionally shed tears and said about it, and said that Gong Jin had left early because of Lu Xinyan's entrustment. The matter was concealed seamlessly, so the queen mother comforted her for a while.
Although few people knew about Gong Jin's injury, Empress Wu Wan knew about it, so no one doubted it at all.
After Gong Jin went back, he found Uncle Tian immediately. Uncle Tian was not in the Ankangbo Mansion when it was blocked, so he just escaped the catastrophe.
The letter Lu Xinyan received at this time was the result of Qi Fei and Uncle Tian's investigation yesterday.
Time was running out, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate intervened. What they found was limited. For the time being, they only found the [-]th day, the day before the winter solstice festival. Lu Congyuan was the last person who touched the sweaty BMW. Shaoqing, check whether there is anything wrong with the imperial horse traveling on the winter solstice. Later, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple suddenly became unwell, and Lu Congyuan, who was about to leave, checked on his behalf. Coincidentally, during the inspection, Lu Congyuan was serving the groom of the imperial horse. , happened not to be there at the time, which was also one of the reasons why Lu Pingjie was later ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of the Taipu Temple, and quickly identified Lu Congyuan as a suspect!At this time, Uncle Tian sent people to investigate the Shaoqing of Taipusi. On the other hand, Qi Fei arranged for people to search in the forest of Yunxiao Villa, hoping to find new evidence.
When Lu Xinyan received this letter, she felt much more at ease. If she could find new evidence, it would definitely buy time for Ankangbo Mansion, and Uncle Tian and Qi Fei would also have more time to find out about this matter.
The two were looking outside to find out who caused Lu Congyuan to get into this situation, so she would start from Lu Congyuan and find the most likely suspect beside him.
In the evening, accompanied by Song Zhao, Lu Xin and Yan Qingtong went to the prison.
The Heavenly Prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is worthy of being a Royal Heavenly Prison. It is spacious, clean and dry, not at all cold and damp as in the legend.
Walking down the stone steps, there are soldiers in armor and holding weapons on both sides. The walls are covered with torture instruments of various colors. Under the reflection of the flickering lights on the walls, the cold light is horrifying. The screams made people feel the majesty of the prison that cannot be underestimated.
The soldiers leading the way brought Lu Xinyan to the innermost part of the cell, "Miss Lu, we're almost there, turn a corner and you'll be in the cell of Ankang Bo's mansion."
Just as he was talking, a person suddenly appeared at the corner in front of him, and almost bumped into him. The soldier hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Mr. Zhong!"
Zhong Han is in his 40s, with a thin face. At this time, he reprimanded him with a sullen face, "Walk better in the future!"
The soldier quickly said: "Yes, Master Zhong, I'm sorry, Master Zhong."
Zhong Han glanced at Lu Xinyan, "Who is this?"
There were too many people in the hall that day, Zhong Han only knew about Lu Xinyan, but he didn't see her face clearly.
"Little girl Lu Xinyan, I have met Master Zhong!" Lu Xinyan gave a little blessing.
The gloom on Zhong Han's face dissipated, and he said with a faint smile: "Miss Lu has some skills, but this day's prison is not the place for you girls to come, you should go back and hide under the wings of Princess Chang'an, maybe you can escape a little while." robbery!"
Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "The little girl came to visit the prison at the order of the Queen Mother Yi."
It means that I came because the queen mother asked me to come, and if you think about it, I can't leave, because the queen mother can't resist.
Zhong Han's face turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "Then you should try to persuade your father, the evidence is conclusive, and quickly plead guilty, admitting that because he has not been reused for many years, he has resentment towards the emperor, so he poisoned the royal horse, so as not to suffer alive !"
After he finished speaking, he tossed his long sleeves, and walked straight away regardless of Lu Xinyan's expression.
Lu Xinyan looked at his back, thinking about what he said just now, she couldn't help frowning.
"Miss Lu, this way please." The soldier urged: "There are regulations on the visiting time, if it's too late, it's not easy to explain to the higher-ups."
Even with the Queen Mother in hand, some rules still have to be followed, Lu Xinyan said: "Brother who understands, I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
When they arrived at the cell where Lu Congyuan and others were being held, Qingtong stuffed a big red envelope into the soldier's hand, and the soldier immediately smiled, "Miss Lu, I will try to delay you for a while."
Lu Congyuan, who was originally dejected, immediately raised his head when he heard Miss Lu's address, his eyes glowed and he rushed to the edge of the prison, grabbing the pillar of the prison door, and said excitedly: "Xinyan, Xinyan, are you here to rescue daddy? Hurry up!" Rescue daddy, daddy didn't prescribe medicine, didn't harm the emperor, daddy is innocent."
Lu Xinyan walked towards him, Lu Congyuan was about to say something more, but saw that Lu Xinyan did not stop, but continued to walk inside.
"elder brother."
"Zhuzhu, you're here." Lu Ziyi in the cell looked at Lu Xinyan with a smile, and after looking her up and down, she felt relieved, "Fortunately, you're fine."
Because it has only been locked up for two days, Lu Ziyi seems to be fine for the time being, and she has not been tortured. Lu Xinyan is also relieved. She is most afraid that Zhong Han will be tortured because of time constraints, "Brother is fine, I don't worry, I will find a way rescued you."
Lu Ziyi smiled wryly and said, "My brother is really useless, he can't help you with anything, and I need you to worry about me."
"Brother, don't say that. No one expected this accident." Lu Xinyan said, "Brother, I don't have much time. I have something to ask my father. Let's talk after we get out."
"Go, Zhuzhu, take care of yourself, if necessary..." Lu Ziyi took a deep look at Lu Xinyan, which meant that if necessary, she should save her life alone.
Lu Xinyan nodded with a smile, then turned and walked towards Lu Congyuan's cell.
Lu Congyuan put his hot face on his cold butt. At this time, his face was so stiff that he would have scolded him for being unfilial, but at this time, the only person who could save him was Lu Xinyan. He had no choice but to suppress it. Stay angry and greet with a smile.
Seeing Lu Xinyan approaching, Lu Congyuan took out a green jade pendant from his bosom, "Xinyan, you give this to the emperor. When the emperor sees this jade pendant, he will definitely let my Ankang family go."
At first glance, the jade was of the highest quality, with excellent color. Lu Xinyan reached out to take it, "What is this? Is it something like a gold medal for avoiding death?"
Lu Congyuan frowned, and was extremely unwilling to answer, "Don't ask too many questions, anyway, just find a way to hand it over to the emperor."
Lu Xinyan smiled, "Father, are you begging me for help now?"
When you ask for help, you have to look like you are asking for help!
Lu Congyuan couldn't help being angry, "How can you talk to me like this? I'm your father!"
"So what?" Lu Xinyan said lightly: "When Lu Xinwan pushed me into the water, you didn't care; Punish me to kneel for three days and three nights; once I was almost burned to death by Lu Xinwan, Lu Xinhan and Lu Xinyun, but after you found out, you just fined them three and grounded them for three days, and let them go lightly... There have been countless such things, father, you Since you never loved me as your daughter, how can you expect me to respect you as a father?"
That alienated and indifferent attitude made Lu Congyuan's heart suddenly chill. In his impression, no matter how much he disliked Lu Xinyan before, Lu Xinyan always unconsciously showed a look of longing for father's love, as long as he was a little more pleasant to her , she can be happy for several days.
However, since when did she become the one who didn't care about him?
Since the first day Lu Xinyan returned home, because of the relationship between Wu Sheng, Wu Zhen and Gongsun Mobai giving gifts, Lu Congyuan understood that this daughter was no longer the Lu Xinyan whom he could scold at will, and simply avoided seeing her from time to time, so this month, The number of times the two met was extremely rare.
Therefore, under Lu Xinyan's rebuttal, Lu Congyuan was stunned for a while, and couldn't find anything to say to fight back!Of course, in such a situation where he wanted something from others, he didn't dare to fight back even if he wanted to. Lu Congyuan coughed twice and reluctantly said: "This jade pendant is a gift from King Rui, it represents his avatar, and it can save his life."
Lu Xinyan was really taken aback now. If she remembered correctly, Concubine Chen told her that when Lu Congyuan was young, she went to a brothel and met King Rui in disguise. The two fell in love with the same woman and fought, and Lu Congyuan injured Rui. Wang, even the Empress Dowager has always been displeased with Ankangbo Mansion!It stands to reason that the two should be rivals, so how could he have the life-saving jade pendant gifted by King Rui?
Lu Xinyan blinked, looked at Lu Congyuan, who was still handsome and unrestrained even though he was in prison, and suddenly his brain opened...
I heard that there is no concubine or concubine in Prince Rui's mansion, and there is only one adopted son. This makes people think that King Rui is either bad or has broken sleeves, so could it be that the two of them didn't fight for a woman at all, but Was it King Rui who fell in love with Lu Congyuan?In order to cover up King Rui's true orientation, the royal family deliberately made up a story about fighting for a woman to mislead the world?
The truth of the matter is that the two men fell in love, but later Lu Congyuan wanted to inherit the Ankang Mansion, so he had to marry a wife and have children. King Rui was hurt and left Beizhou... With Lu Congyuan's skin, King Ruorui is really a loser , all this is really possible!
Lu Xinyan was fascinated, and Lu Congyuan said: "You must hand this jade pendant into the hands of the emperor, you know? And hurry up! Before because of this jade pendant, Master Zhong didn't dare to torture me, so I am intact now , if he knows that Yu Pei is not on me, once torture is used, if I can't bear it and resort to random attacks, the whole Ankang Mansion will be over!"
"Why didn't father give the jade pendant to Mr. Zhong and ask him to hand it over to the emperor?" Lu Xinyan asked.
Lu Congyuan snorted, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but Lord Zhong forced me to confess as soon as he came, and made me admit that because I haven't been reused for many years, I have resentment towards the emperor, so I poisoned the royal horse and didn't listen to me at all. How can I give it to him with confidence? If he keeps it privately, then I won't even have the last life-saving talisman!"
Lu Xinyan put the jade pendant in her palm and rubbed it carefully, "Father, is the heartbroken grass in the study yours?"
Lu Congyuan is the same as all men, thinking that the business has nothing to do with women, so he said a little unhappy: "You are a woman, these things have nothing to do with you, you just need to hand in the jade pendant."
"Father, do you really think that this jade pendant can keep the entire Ankang Mansion safe?"
Lu Congyuan was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Father, do you know what crime you are committing now? That is the capital crime of murdering the emperor! King Rui is the emperor's brother. If it is for other things, no matter it is for the sake of the queen mother or for the sake of brotherhood." The emperor will listen to King Rui's requests and suggestions, but what is at stake now is the emperor's life! At this time, you still expect the emperor to let you go for the sake of King Rui, regardless of his own life. A horse? Maybe the emperor will think that King Rui ordered you to murder him, with the purpose of seizing the throne and the world! At that time, this piece of jade will not be a life-saving talisman, but a life-threatening talisman!"
Lu Xinyan said: "King Rui and the emperor have a good relationship, and they are far away in Beizhou. They have never had two hearts, so Mr. Zhong has not linked the murder of the emperor to King Rui for the time being. Once he reacts, father, can you Immediately, it will be more ominous than ominous!"
"No, it's impossible!" Lu Congyuan's face changed drastically, "He said that if this jade pendant can save his life, he will definitely save his life!"
"If this jade pendant was given to King Rui by the first emperor, and then King Rui gave it to you, your father, maybe you can save your life temporarily! However, once the emperor becomes suspicious of you, when will he want to kill you? Isn't that easy?" Lu Xinyan said: "So at present, the only way to keep the Ankangbo Mansion is to get rid of the crime!"
She asked again: "Father, is the heartbroken grass in the study yours?"
Lu Congyuan was silent for a while, as if he didn't want a woman like Lu Xinyan to interfere in these matters, but later he realized that what Lu Xinyan said just now was true, and getting rid of the charges was the only way out, and said: "Lu Youlang will find two packs of heartbroken grass in the study on the spot. , one on the bookshelf, one under the desk..."
He paused, and said with great difficulty, "The bag under the desk is not mine, but the bag on the bookshelf is mine."
Lu Xinyan was taken aback again.
No wonder since she came, Lu Congyuan has never complained, saying that someone put heartbroken grass in his study to frame him. It turned out that there was heartbroken grass in his study!
This is really, no one can argue!
"In father's study, why is there heartbroken grass?"
Lu Congyuan said impatiently: "If you have it, you have it. Why do you ask so much? In short, I have never given medicine to the bloody horse. Someone put the medicine under the desk."
Lu Congyuan's attitude of avoiding talking about it is very suspicious, but this is not the time to delve into it, because at least one thing Lu Xinyan is sure of is that Lu Congyuan will never have the guts to murder the emperor!Lu Xinyan no longer pursued this question, "Father's study, has anyone been in it recently?"
Lu Congyuan had thought about this question for a long time, and said a few names without the slightest hesitation. Most of them were officials below the fifth rank, and they were good friends with Lu Congyuan. No reason for them to kill me!"
Underappreciated?Lu Xinyan turned cold, Lu Congyuan, you are too good at putting gold on your face! "Apart from a few friends, has anyone else gone in?"
Lu Congyuan said: "Except for those few people, they are all from the mansion. Aning, Ziyi, Zili, Xinwan, Xinhan, second brother, and Ziwen have all gone in, but they have no reason to frame me. After all, this It is the matter of the Zhulian Nine Clans, harming me is equivalent to harming themselves!"
Killing the Nine Clans?Lu Xinyan's heart moved, if she remembered correctly, after Lu Ziwen tried to break into Huanxiyuan and was beaten by Lu Ziyi, Lu Congguang had already threatened to sever ties with Lu Congyuan and never communicate with him again!
Looking at Lu Congyuan's appearance, he didn't suspect Lu Congguang at all. He probably thought that Lu Congguang was angry because his son was beaten and said such heartless words. When Lu Congguang's anger disappeared, the two families would reconcile as before.
But Lu Xinyan didn't have such a naive idea!
Lu Congguang is a few years older than Lu Congyuan, and he has held important positions in the local area for more than ten years. He does not have any big backers on the surface, but he has been able to sit firmly in the position of the sixth-rank Qingzhou General Judge until now, and now he has a great chance of being promoted to Five grades of common knowledge, it shows that this person acts cautiously and will never let anyone catch him!
Now because my son made a mistake and was beaten first, in this ancient time where family relationships were extremely important, he opened his mouth and said that he would continue the relationship and never communicate with each other. It would be strange if there were no ghosts in it!
Lu Xinyan recalled what she had heard from Gao's before, about how picky Lu Ziwen was, thinking that the yard was not good, the decoration was not good, the variety of flowers was not good, the servants were not good at serving, the food was not good, the wine was not good... In short, it was Ankang Nothing in Bofu is as good!
Looking at it from another perspective, it can be understood that there is nothing in Ankangbo Mansion that Lu Ziwen can do to his liking!If the word got out, if someone misled it, they might think it was Ankangbo's mansion who treated Lu Ziwen and his son harshly!
The strange thing is that being a guest in someone's house is to do whatever you want, but Lu Congguang, who is strict in dealing with things, has never restrained Lu Ziwen's words and deeds in this regard, allowing him to make things difficult again and again!
Lu Xinyan smiled in her heart. In this case, there is only one reason: Lu Congguang came to the capital from Qingzhou for the position of Wupin Tongzhi, and also to sever ties with Ankangbo Mansion, so he condoned Lu Ziwen's words and deeds , Let him have a conflict with the Uncle Mansion, so as to find an opportunity to break with the Uncle Ankang Mansion.
Thinking deeper, this Lu Congguang is the person behind the scenes. The people behind the scene want to take her dowry, deal with Uncle Ankang's mansion, and don't want to hurt his capable subordinates. The simplest way is to It is for Lu Congguang to find an opportunity to draw a clear line with the Ankangbo Mansion!
The person behind the scenes of the leather goods war wanted to win back the game, but was humiliated by her again, so he ordered Lu Congguang to hide the heartbroken grass in Lu Congyuan's study, and then planned to get out of control with the bloody BMW poisoning, which injured the emperor and framed Lu Congyuan.
Lu Xinyan doesn't know if that person knows that Lu Congyuan has King Rui's life-saving jade pendant in his hand, but Lu Xinyan can be sure that matters related to the life of the emperor, not to mention just the life-saving jade pendant of King Rui, even if it is a gold medal for avoiding death personally bestowed by the emperor himself , can't save Lu Congyuan's life for the rest of his life!
This time the emperor was injured. Although Bai Zhi made great contributions to saving the emperor, the merits and demerits cannot be offset. Once convicted, the emperor and the queen mother will at most see their merits in saving him, leaving her, Lu Xinyan and Bai Zhi, with their lives. Including everyone in Huanxiyuan, they can't escape!At that time, Lu Xinyan's dowry will also be lost!
"Father, if I have a way to clear you of the crime, I hope you can agree to one condition!"
"Can you get rid of my charges?" Lu Congyuan's eyes were frenzied, and he didn't care what Lu Xinyan said behind him.
Lu Xinyan said: "I will try my best, but if I do it, I hope you can agree to one condition!"
"You can say whatever you want, as long as you can keep Ankangbo Mansion, don't say one, hundreds or thousands, I can do it, I promise you all!" Lu Congyuan hurriedly responded.
Lu Xinyan said: "If the Ankangbo Mansion is successfully out of danger this time, I hope you can welcome your mother's tablet into the Lu Family Ancestral Hall!"
"Welcome your mother's tablet into the Lu Family Ancestral Hall?" Lu Congyuan's complexion changed suddenly, and his tone resolutely refused, "No, absolutely not!"
