After Wang Xiu and his two sisters-in-law had gone far away, Fan You and Lian Zuo brought Zhou Ling down.
The sun was shining brightly, but there was a deep chill in the shade.
Seeing the tea that had already cooled down, Zhou Ling said lightly: "Take it."
Fan Zuo stepped forward, poured out the tea, and put away the tea cup.
Lian Zuo stood behind Zhou Ling and whispered: "Master Qi, how about we return to Beijing tonight?"
"That way, maybe I can send Cao off in time..."
Zhou Ling turned his head and looked at Lian Zuo.
His eyes were calm and empty, but revealed a faint murderous intent.
Lian Zuo quickly shut up.
When Fan You came back, he didn't forget to glare at him.
Now Gu Yan is in Jinling, Uncle Cao has committed suicide again, and even Miss Xiuyun, who has always been by Master Qi's side, has been punished, and even Zuo still has no scruples at all.
Zhou Ling didn't pay attention to the undercurrent between them. He looked around and saw that it was indeed a bit dark.
But hasn't he been living in darkness for so many years?
In a daze, he saw Zhao Lin, the prince who was born to look down on the world. Then Zhou Ling suddenly laughed.
Perhaps the reason why Xu Xiujun made such an outrageous move was because she had met the Crown Prince at Wangyue Xiaozhu.
The prince who is like a god and lives in the light came to the palace not far away. Is it really just that he can't accept the scandal between Concubine Hui and Prince An?
Just be afraid... He has other concerns, right?
Zhou Ling said to Fan You: "Tell Lu Yunhong about Uncle Cao's death and see his reaction."
Fan You nodded and glanced at Lian Zuo before leaving, signaling him to send Master Qi back quickly.
Zhou Ling actually wanted to meet Wang Xiu for a while, but he never found the opportunity. He knew that the reason why Lu Yunhong was so crazy and went to Jinling to attack King An was probably because of Wang Xiu.
But until now, Wang Xiu obviously still doesn't know.
When Zhou Ling was going down the mountain, he felt inexplicably better. He thought expectantly that everyone was living in darkness.
So soon, the eldest princess received a secret letter.
A secret letter about Lu Yunhong's escape from the golden cicada and joining forces with the Xu family in Jinling to deal with King An.
The moment she saw the letter, the eldest princess looked around cautiously and then burned it.
However, she did not say anything, but lied that Zhao Annian was not feeling well and tricked Wang Xiu into guarding him.
Then he used the excuse that he was hungry and said he was going to eat something, but in fact he secretly came to the villa.
When Lu Yunhong saw the eldest princess coming to see him in private, he already had a guess in his mind. The eldest princess also got straight to the point and said bluntly: "What have you done in Jinling?"
Lu Yunhong confessed: "I wanted to kill someone, but I didn't succeed."
The eldest princess had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Then remember, from now on, if anyone is investigating this matter, just say that I ordered you to do it. But the purpose is not to kill King An, but to kill him."
This is to teach King An a lesson."
"I just didn't expect that King An suffered burns and was infected with the epidemic. It was all a coincidence."
Lu Yunhong didn't expect that the eldest princess would be willing to protect him for his wife, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
But the eldest princess said: "Prince An has done many evil things, and sooner or later someone will take action. I don't know why you can't calm down. But I hope you won't get your hands dirty next time. It's easy to kill someone, but the problem is
Are you able to do this without even noticing?"
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she turned around angrily. She didn't like Lu Yunhong's careless appearance, which would hurt Wang Xiu.
Thinking about their current comfortable life, it only lasts for a few months. The fight for power and gain has always been a matter for men, and as a eldest princess, she is more than enough to protect a lady from a noble family.
But the premise is that this lady’s husband’s house is clean enough!
Seeing that the eldest princess was about to leave, Lu Yunhong made a quick decision and said: "Your Highness, wait."
The eldest princess turned around and said impatiently: "What else have you done?"
Lu Yunhong shook his head and said: "Wangyue Xiaozhu... someone bought that place deliberately. Ji Yunwei and Song Muting bumped into it by mistake. The owner behind it is not simple."
"I heard what the maids there were saying, and they were talking about killing people. As far as I know, except for Prince An, the other two princes are quite peaceful. I wonder if any of the royal family members are particularly restless?"
The eldest princess's eyes suddenly darkened as she thought of the secret she was determined to hide.
It was during her panic that Lu Yunhong caught the clue.
Lu Yunhong asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness knows?"
The eldest princess turned her back and said coldly: "I don't know this, Lu Yunhong, please take care of yourself!"
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Looking at her pace, she seemed a little panicked.
Lu Yunhong squinted his eyes and quickly thought of Emperor Shunyuan's concubine, Prince Cheng.
But Prince Cheng and his wife are very loving, and the family has always been happy, so there is no need to take the risk of becoming his enemy?
What's more, there is nothing that King Cheng wants in this pool of muddy water.
The current emperor has four sons. Although one has been deposed, there are still three. If the imperial city is in chaos again, it will be impossible for King Cheng to succeed to the throne.
What's more, the crown prince's position is secure, who dares to compete with him?
And with the Lu family backing the East Palace, who dares to scheme?
Is it possible that this person who made the captain and princess change her color when she heard about it...is a royal taboo?
Lu Yunhong took a few steps forward. He looked at the gradually darkening night and slowly clenched his fingers into fists.
No matter who it is, he will never give up as long as he dares to show up.
Lu Yunhong thought that he would confess everything when Wang Xiu came back. No matter what happened in the future, the couple would face it together.
This sudden courage came so fiercely and clearly that he seemed to see a hole torn in the wall of his heart, waiting for Wang Xiu to get in.
However, when he waited until the night became slightly cooler, he waited for a message from Nanny Lu, saying that the eldest princess was feeling unwell tonight and Wang Xiu would not return to the villa.
At this moment, Lu Yunhong was really aggrieved. How could his wife leave him for... someone else?
Not even if it’s a woman!
daughter in law……
Lu Yunhong shouted in his heart, suddenly wanting to find a husband for the eldest princess.
You said it was late at night, who could you ask to stay? Why was it his wife?
He originally wanted to be gentle after confessing to his wife, but now...his face was numb in the cold wind and no one felt sorry for him.
