Although Mo Rongzhan said that he would let Lu Yaoyao relax and untie the knot in her heart, he still could not be completely at ease. He still sent the secret guard to protect her. Two days later, he received news from the secret guard that they did not find Her Royal Highness.
"Your Majesty, we caught up with Doctor Qi. Doctor Qi said that Mr. Huangfu parted ways with them at Sanpo Town and did not encounter them on the official road to Huaijiang."
"When we chased them to Gu Family Village, we lost track of them."
Mo Rongzhan listened to the secret guard's report. His deep and dark eyes were filled with anger. "You mean, Huangfu Chen and Lu Yaoyao are gone?"
The secret guard kneeling in front of Mo Rongzhan lowered his head. "Your Majesty, this subordinate really can't find them. It's just that the inn was suspicious, so I arrested the innkeeper and interrogated him. Only then did I know that they had captured several people not long ago. According to his description, it should be the Princess and the others."
"Captured?" Mo Rongzhan asked softly, but he heard Ford trembling at the side.
The Emperor was really angry. Which bastard was blind and dared to capture Huangfu Chen and the Princess?
"The innkeeper said that they were captured by kidnappers." The secret guard's voice trembled.
Mo Rongzhan hooked his lips into a smile. "My Jin Country has such arrogant kidnappers. They even dared to capture my Princess. What? "
"Your Majesty, this subordinate will definitely find the Princess." The secret guard hurriedly said.
"Ford, call Marquis Jingning here." Mo Rongzhan ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ford hurriedly responded.
Mo Rongzhan also sent away the secret guard who had been kneeling and did not dare to get up. When he heard that Yaoyao was missing, he felt panic in his heart. He was very clear about Huangfu Chen's ability. It was impossible for an ordinary person to capture him. This proved that the person who could capture them was more powerful than him.
If something happened to Yaoyao!
Mo Rongzhan suddenly stood up. He absolutely could not let anything happen to Yaoyao.
Lu Lingzhi explored the surroundings of the Temple of Benevolence for three days before he finally found an opportunity to see Lu Wushuang.
Ever since he was poisoned, although Physician Qi and Huangfu Chen treated him, Lu Lingzhi still felt that his body was getting worse. He knew very well that even if Huangfu Chen found a way to cure him in the future, he would no longer be able to lead troops into battle. If the Lu family wanted to completely get rid of their status as merchants and become one of the aristocratic families in the capital, they could no longer rely on his military exploits.
If Shuang'er had not been crippled, she might have been able to pave the way for the Lu family with her position as the Imperial Consort. But now, Shuang'er could no longer be counted on. ♀
Lu Lingzhi never imagined that the emperor would want to make Yaoyao empress.
This was great news for the Lu Family.
However, this was not good news for Lu Wushuang.
Lu Lingzhi thought about it for a long time before he finally came to see his sister. He had watched Shuang 'er grow up. Now that he had to choose between the future of the Lu family and her, it was actually a little difficult.
"Big brother." Lu Wushuang had already received the news that Lu Lingzhi would come to see her today. She was already prepared. When she saw her big brother coming in from the door, her tears suddenly gushed out. She finally found an outlet to vent all the grievances she had suffered these days.
Lu Lingzhi looked at Lu Wushuang's eyes as gentle and generous as ever. He walked in and closed the door behind him. "Shuang 'er, big brother is late."
"Big brother, why are you so late? Please take me away. I don't want to stay here. Go and plead with the emperor. Ask the emperor to let me go back to the palace. I will no longer be willful, okay?" Lu Wushuang held Lu Lingzhi's hand and cried. She was going crazy in the Temple of Benevolence. The days here were too hard. She could not stand such a life.
Lu Lingzhi wiped away her tears and let her sit down. "Shuang 'er, big brother will definitely let you leave here. Don't worry."
"Big brother, those nuns are not good people. They dared to make me work. They dared to make me sweep the floor and wash clothes." Lu Wushuang complained angrily. "Even when I was in the Lu family, I never had such a hard time. How dare they make me work?"
When Lu Lingzhi heard this, he sighed in his heart. Even though she was crippled, Shuang'er's temperament still hadn't changed. "Shuang'er, the emperor sent you here because he wanted you to change your temperament. If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, how can you make the emperor believe that you have changed?"
"Big brother, the emperor will not let me go back." Lu Wushuang thought of her last conversation with Mo Rongzhan. She could no longer complain. Instead, she cried even louder.
Lu Lingzhi smiled gently. "Don't think too much. Shuang 'er, have you forgotten? You are the savior of the emperor. Even if you did something wrong to make him angry, when his anger subsides, he will naturally let you go back to the palace. "
"No! No! " Lu Wushuang cried. "Big brother, the emperor knows. The emperor knows that it was not me. He will not forgive me. He will not let me go back to the palace."
Lu Lingzhi's face changed. "How did the emperor know? Did you say it? "
"How could I say it? I … I don't know how the emperor knew. He asked me that day. He thought that I hid Ye Zhen. Big brother, if the emperor knew that the person who saved him was Ye Zhen, he would certainly not let the Lu family go." Lu Wushuang grasped Lu Lingzhi's hand and cried even harder.
"Shuang 'er, tell big brother clearly, what did the emperor say that day?" Lu Lingzhi was shocked. Did the emperor suspect him?
Lu Wushuang sobbed. "He said that she had a nickname. Big brother, what is Ye Zhen's nickname? There is also a secret. Ye Zhen told the emperor a secret. I don't know about it. When he asked me for the secret code, he must have suspected me. "
Nickname? Lu Lingzhi took a deep breath. The Ye family was dead. He could not find out what kind of nickname Ye Zhen once had.
"What did you tell the emperor?" Lu Lingzhi rubbed his eyebrows. He did not expect that the emperor had long known that Shuang 'er was not his savior.
It seemed that the emperor had long wanted to abolish Shuang 'er, not just because she framed Yao Yao.
Lu Wushuang wiped away the tears on her face. "Of course, I can't let the emperor suspect you. If something happens to you, who can save me in the future? I will tell the emperor that it was my father who asked me to disguise myself. I don't know where the girl who saved him is."
Lu Lingzhi asked in a deep voice, "Does the emperor believe you?"
"If he doesn't believe you, why hasn't he called you for questioning until now?" Lu Wushuang asked. "Big brother, the emperor still believes you."
"No, the emperor has begun to distrust me." Lu Lingzhi shook his head and sighed. Unexpectedly, he spent so much effort but still got nothing in the end. Instead, he made Mo Rongzhan doubt him.
