Chapter 405, The Prince's Death

"Shi Niang was framed by Lu Chengze, and she has nothing to do with the murder of the two princes."

"No need to say these nonsense." Yue Wuyi waved his hand, "Of course I know that she has nothing to do with the murder of the two princes. The two princes were not poisoned to death after eating pastries. They dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs who served around and said they wanted to talk to their brothers. As a result, they fell into the Yanchi Pond in the Imperial Garden and drowned. The imperial doctor inspected the bodies of the two princes, and there was no sign of being poisoned or injured by hidden weapons."

Unexpectedly, the case of arresting so many people was caused by the two princes falling into the water.

Since it was falling into the water, what should I do if I caught so many people?

Could it be that so many people planned and asked someone to go in and push the two princes into Yanchi?

"The struggle for power and profit in the palace is not only in the court, nor in the harem. It is not something you, the women in the market, can understand. This is just that many parties are using this matter to eliminate dissidents." Yue Wuyi also held up a lot of words in his heart. No one could tell him in the palace or at home.

Of course, he didn't think Yingge was the one who could be intimate, but he knew that they were people on a boat now, or to put it bluntly, grasshoppers on a rope.

He also wanted to get into this chaotic situation. Yingge looked for him to save Shiniang, and they could only find Liao Xian'er in the deep palace through him.

If Liao Xian'er is a woman who is well used, she will definitely help him turn the tables.

If Shi Niang dies, it seems that he is the only one who can use Liao Xian'er in the short term, but Liao Xian'er is not a fool and will find other helpers.

When men compete for merit, they have many ways to give in. Instead of competing with other people for Liao Xian'er's trust, it is better to save Shiniang. Shiniang and Yingge are different for Liao Xian'er.

If feelings are unreliable, favors will be eliminated, but when interests are consistent, the first two are the best bonds.

So he had to reveal some of the situation in the palace to Yingge, so that she could know that it was not easy for him to be in the palace, and to help them take great risks.

"Then are you in this storm now?" Yingge usually hates men to the extreme, but at critical moments, her mind can still distinguish between the primary and secondary, and can also grasp the key points.

"No, I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. In the early stage, I was afraid of following the wrong person and standing in the wrong team. So I thought that it would be impossible to be a pure minister and only be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. So I did not respond to any force's enlistment."

Yue Wuyi knew that if the other party wanted to tell Shi Niang's secret, he had to be honest, "In addition, I have to thank the current decline of the Desheng Hou Mansion. Those who win over me actually don't value me, a person who loses power and is unpopular."

These words made Yingge feel relieved. Although he was not in power, he was still safe and safe to use.

"Lu Chengze's intention to harm Shi Niang was based on personal grudges, because..." Yingge observed Yue Wuyi's expression uncertainly. After confirming that he had no other bad thoughts except curiosity, he said, "Because Shi Niang looks like Lu Chengze's ex-wife Liu Ruyue."

"Ex-wife? Lu Chengze got married before marrying his right-loving daughter?" Yue Wuyi was shocked. He also met Lu Chengze, who was still on duty in the Hanlin area in the palace. He did not think that such a cowardly and weak man had the courage to deceive the right-loving minister.

"And how do you know that Lu Chengze thinks Shi Niang looks like his ex-wife? Will Lu Chengze tell the public?" Yue Wuyi soon discovered the problem again and looked at Yingge questioningly.

Anyway, Yingge closed her eyes and then opened her eyes without any concerns. "Shi Niang is Lu Chengze's wife Liu Ruyue."

Yue Wuyi was confused when he heard this, "But, isn't Shi Niang Lu Chengze's wife? He has married her and she has married her again. Why should Lu Chengze harm her? Why should Shi Niang change her name and surname? Pretend not to know Lu Chengze in front of Lu Chengze?"

Yingge hated her teeth. The one she hated most in her life was a kind-hearted man. Shi Niang's experience made her empathize with it. "In order to marry her right-favorite daughter, Lu Chengze concealed the fact that she already had a wife and children and took Chen Manqing in Beijing, and in private asked her mother and brother who were far away from her hometown to help kill her wife and children."

This news shocked Yue Wuyi and was stunned. He also had the heart to climb up, but he could not do such a heartless thing as killing his wife and children in exchange for wealth and prosperity.

I really didn't expect that Lu Chengze, who was so cruel, was such a ruthless person with his weak appearance.

"Lu Chengze's mother Huang and her younger brother Lu Chengkang pretended that they received a letter to let their whole family go to Beijing to reunite. On the way, they threw Shi Niang into Wujiang." Yingge said in tears as if he had seen Shi Niang's tragic experience with his own eyes, "Fortunately, God couldn't stand Lu Chengze, confiscated Shi Niang's life and allowed her to climb out of the river. If he hadn't found a child, Shi Niang would have gone to sue the emperor long ago."

Wujiang?

Yue Wuyi remembered the first time she saw Shi Niang. She had a unkempt and covered in mud. She had a good face and could see her. She was so embarrassed that she looked even worse than those refugees who fled. Could it be that she had just gotten up from Wujiang at that time?

"Then, what is Su Ziyao?"

No one knows the origin of Su Ziyao better than Yue Wuyi. If you want to know Shi Niang, he is earlier than Yingge.

Shi Niang was thrown into Wujiang. The child next to the woman who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake found in the woods was really that coincidentally Shi Niang's son?

Yingge didn't know how Yue Wuyi knew Shi Niang, and said, "Zi Yao is Shi Niang's godson. Shi Niang did good deeds along the way and saved several children. She hoped to do more good deeds so that God could bless her... the four children who were sold to someone for money by her brother-in-law."

"Sold it? Didn't Lu Chengze ask them to kill the child?"

"Hmph." Yingge smiled sarcastically, "Lu Chengkang is good at gambling. It's a pity to kill these young children. Wouldn't it be better to sell them for money?"

Yue Wuyi, who had been in the military camp since childhood, understood the importance of not being able to reduce the execution of orders, and did not understand the fatal behavior of Lu Chengkang, who kept Lu Chengze's handle for a few taels of silver.

Of course he understood that what they did was bad things, and if it were him, he would definitely not leave things to such an unreliable person.

"Shi Niang pretended to enter the capital all the way. As for Chu Qianche, he knew nothing. He only knew that Shi Niang was a poor woman. He was in a good mood. If he wanted to help Shi Niang gain a foothold in the capital, he agreed that Shi Niang was his wife."

After talking about Shi Niang's secret, Yingge vigilantly observed Yue Wuyi's expression, "Now you know, why Lu Chengze wants to harm her? I have no other way to save her now. Although I have some officials' handles, no matter how big these people are, they are not as big as the right prime minister.
