The capital, the Imperial Study. ♀
Lu Lingzhi knelt on the ground. His forehead was sweating. He came to ask for forgiveness from the emperor.
"Marquis of Anyang, what did you just say? I don't understand." Mo Rongzhan looked at Lu Lingzhi coldly. His eyes were burning with anger.
"Your Majesty, it was Noble Lu who passed away. This subject originally wanted to have people organize the items in her room to be buried with her, only then did I discover the letter that my late father left for her. Only then did I know that she was pretending to be Your Majesty's savior. Your Majesty, please consider Shuang 'er's infatuation with you and forgive her crime of deceiving you." Lu Lingzhi kowtowed.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Lu Lingzhi with sharp eyes. He wanted to know how true his words were. After he exposed Lu Wushuang's true colors, he immediately sent her to the Temple of Yearning Ci. Lu Lingzhi did not have the opportunity to meet her, so Lu Lingzhi certainly did not know that he already knew about it.
"What did your father write in the letter?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
Lu Lingzhi's face was full of grief. He struggled and hesitated for a long time before he took out a stack of letters from his arms. "Your majesty, I beg you to forgive my late father for his wrongdoings."
Forde took the letters from Lu Lingzhi's hands to Mo Rongzhan. Mo Rongzhan looked at the letters one by one. His thin lips were tightly pursed, but the anger in his eyes was getting more and more intense. "Your father hid the real little girl?"
"Your majesty, the letter said so. I haven't looked for her yet." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice.
"Yanzhi, do you know the consequences of giving these letters to me?" Mo Rongzhan's eyes seemed to be filled with frost. He had always been thinking about the little girl who saved him back then. When he thought that Lu Wushuang was her, he spoiled Lu Wushuang uncontrollably. Later, he learned that Lu Wushuang was not her. He wanted to find the real Little Yaoyao, but he couldn't find her at all. He thought she was dead. Now, Lu Lingzhi took these letters to tell him that Little Yaoyao was still alive and was under house arrest by Lu Shide.
Lu Lingzhi's eyes flashed with pain. "I want to hide it from your majesty, but I am afraid that when the truth comes out in the future, the whole Lu family will be implicated."
Mo Rongzhan asked coldly, "Are you not afraid that I will make your Lu family pay the price?"
"I only ask that Your Majesty spare the lives of the Lu Clan," Lu Lingzhi said while kowtowing.
"Have you sent someone to look for her?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice. In fact, he didn't really believe what these letters said. What if this was another fake?
Lu Lingzhi said, "I just found these letters yesterday. I haven't confirmed them yet. I don't know if the young lady is still alive."
Mo Rongzhan slammed his palm on the table. "I shouldn't have spared Lu Wushuang so easily!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Lu Lingzhi kowtowed in horror. More and more sweat appeared on his forehead, and the expression on his face became more and more painful. His hands, which were propped up on the ground, were already trembling slightly. ()
"Marquis of Tranquil Sun, if the person imprisoned by your father is really the little girl that saved me, then I will definitely make your Lu family pay the price." Mo Rongzhan coldly said.
Lu Lingzhi gritted his teeth and said after a long time, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly. Why did he feel that there was something wrong with Lu Lingzhi? In the past, Lu Lingzhi didn't even flinch in the face of thousands of enemies. Was he so afraid of him today?
Fu De noticed Lu Lingzhi's strangeness and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Marquis of Tranquil Sun doesn't seem to be right."
"Lu Lingzhi?" Mo Rongzhan called him sternly.
Lu Lingzhi wanted to speak, but the pain in his whole body made him unable to say a word. He opened his mouth, and his whole body couldn't help but twitch uncontrollably, "I'm sorry!"
"Call the imperial doctor!" Mo Rongzhan saw him like this, and his face suddenly changed. He understood that Lu Lingzhi was poisoned.
Soon, Minister Gong had rushed over. Qi Jin and Huangfu Chen were not in the capital, so Minister Gong had been treating Lu Lingzhi. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. The residual poison could not be detoxified, and the effect of pain relief was getting worse. Now, he could only barely reduce Lu Lingzhi's pain.
More than half an hour later, Lu Lingzhi gradually stopped twitching.
Mo Rongzhan's original anger dissipated a lot because of Lu Lingzhi's poison. He remembered that Lu Lingzhi was poisoned on the way back from the great victory. Although Lu Shide and Lu Wushuang deserved to die, the Lu Family had made great contributions before, and Lu Lingzhi had made a lot of military contributions.
Forget it. When he found the little girl, if she was safe and sound, he could spare the Lu Family. If the Lu Family was like this in the future, it would be impossible for them to go further. This was a reward for Lu Lingzhi's meritorious service.
"Send someone to escort Marquis of Tranquil Sun back and let him recuperate at home." Mo Rongzhan ordered lightly.
Fu De made a sound of assent, thinking that if the Emperor brought that young lady back, he didn't know what kind of changes would occur in the palace.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the letter on the table and wrote in his mind. The place where Lu Shide imprisoned Little Yaoyao was on the outskirts of the capital. This time, he would go to find her in person.
Huaijiang City, at the entrance of the village.
Ye Zhen had just come out of Wangjiang House when she heard that something had happened here. She hurried over and saw Xu Ji's men pointing swords at the villagers. It turned out that the villagers wanted to leave the village but were stopped by Xu Ji's men, not allowing them to cross the fence.
"Lord Xu, what's going on?" Ye Zhen walked over and asked Xu Ji.
Xu Ji snorted coldly, "These people want to leave the village. This general naturally has to stop them."
"Even if you want to stop them, your soldiers should not treat them with swords." Ye Zhen said unhappily, "They are not infected with typhoid. Why treat them so harshly?"
"When they leave the village and infect others, you will feel that such harsh treatment is nothing." Xu Ji sneered.
Ye Zhen wanted to say something more, but Xu Ji had already walked over and ordered the soldiers, "Whoever dares to break the fence again, kill!"
The word "kill" immediately deterred the villagers. They looked at each other helplessly, afraid that they would be killed by the soldiers and afraid that they would be infected with the plague if they stayed in the village.
"We want to get out!"
"Yes, we want to get out of here, let us out!"
"We don't want to stay here and die, let us out!"
The villagers all cried out. They felt that their village had become a dead village. If they didn't leave, they would die too.
"This is retribution, this is punishment! We know we are wrong. We will not say that there is a plague in the village in the future. "
"God, we are wrong, we are wrong."
Several villagers scolded those who were crying, "It's you who always talk nonsense every year. There is no plague in our village, but you say there is a plague every year!"
