MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 584 You should ask your own heart
The emperor is ill. Logically speaking, the commander of the imperial army, Mr. Lu Fu, as the emperor's confidant, should stay by his dragon bed.
But after Lu Shaoyuan's accident happened today, he learned the news and was worried that his mother, Mrs. Meng, could not handle it alone, so after leaving the palace affairs to Pei Yin, he immediately left the palace and went to Dali Temple to stay with his mother and younger brother.
When Mo Lingwei summoned him late at night, Lu Shaoyuan had just been interrogated for another round.
Because Shu Yan's relatives were found, only a lame father insisted that his daughter went to the capital with the nobles to drink. Who knew that once she left and never came back, the suspicion returned to Lu Shaoyuan.
Jiang Shanglong and others were interrogated, and they all spoke the same words. Only who the extra businessman was, no one could tell clearly.
Only the shopkeeper who remembered that fourteen people came to the banquet said: "The man looked very strange and had a southern accent. I thought someone brought help. This is very common in our daily entertainment."
But he didn’t know the man’s name, let alone talked to him alone.
Once the case was investigated, it would easily lead to a dead end, so Mrs. Meng was very worried. Lu Fu saw that his mother and brother were a little distracted, so he took the initiative to chat with Xie Ming'an and got a side room to rest for the time being.
Lu Fu asked someone to buy some wine and food to fill the stomachs of Lu Shaoyuan and Mrs. Meng. After all, they hadn't eaten for a day.
“Brother, I won’t really be charged with insulting and killing women, right?”
"No," Lu Fu consoled him, "Xie Ming'an is well-known as a master of solving cases. He will never settle a case hastily before he gets to the bottom of it. You and your mother can rest assured."
At this moment, the people sent by Mo Lingwei to find Lu Fu back to the palace came.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if you have something to do, please ask Commander Lu to return to the palace as soon as possible." In the courtyard, Wu Fang, wearing a sword, stood in the courtyard with more than a dozen of the Crown Prince's personal guards. The torches were shining brightly and they were imposing.
Mrs. Meng said hurriedly: "You are the commander of the imperial army. We can't live without you in the palace. You should go back first. Your father will be here soon. We are here to watch over your brother. Don't worry."
Lu Fu thought for a moment, and that was all he could do. He patted Lu Shaoyuan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, it will be fine."
After saying that, he quickly followed Wu Fang and left.
At the door, Lu Fu's personal attendant suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. The group was already on horseback, and it was impossible to wait for him alone.
Seeing this, Lu Fu said: "If the pain is severe, you don't have to follow me into the palace. You can stay with my mother and second brother here."
"Thank you, sir." The attendant bowed his hands, then bent over and covered his abdomen, shouting in pain, and walked towards the toilet of Dali Temple.
Wu Fang glanced at the man twice, and then together with Lu Fu, the group galloped back to the palace.
Not long after arriving at Zichen Palace, Lu Fu entered the door and saw Mo Ling sitting on a high seat coldly, while Chen Shaobei stood behind him holding a long sword.
Lu Fu was heartbroken. The palace door behind him had been closed by Wu Fang from the outside.
Those who practice martial arts are keen. Lu Fu obviously felt a sense of murderous aura, and he calmed down and asked An to bow.
Mo Lingwei got straight to the point: "I am anxious to call you back to the palace because of your brother's incident, so I won't follow you in circles. Before that, did you tell anyone that I was going to patrol the streets today? "
Lu Fu was startled and suddenly raised his head: "The general will never do such a thing!"
Since the emperor was recuperating, Lu Fu supervised the prince's safety during his travels, and he would naturally know the exact time when he would leave the palace.
Looking at Lu Fu's decisive words, Mo Lingwei narrowed his eyes.
He actually believed in Lu Fu, because the Lu family's loyalty was a family motto that started with Mr. Lu.
What's more, in the final analysis, Lu Fu's brother Lu Shaoyuan took the blame for this matter. He wouldn't be so stupid as to join forces with others to harm his brother.
Only Lu Fu and the emperor knew about his patrol. Who else would reveal it to a third person?
Chen Shaobei asked bluntly: "Have you told anyone else about the prince's whereabouts?" Lu Fu frowned: "Absolutely not."
Suddenly, Lu Fu remembered his entourage.
"My attendant Ah Jin once entered my study. Did he say that?" There is a detailed defense plan for the prince's trip in his study. He is usually very cautious about it, but that time, relatives and guests suddenly came to the house. , and his mother and father were not at home, so he came out to greet them.
After returning, he saw his entourage wandering around the study room in a panic.
Although Ah Jin said he was just passing by, Lu Fu felt that everything in the study had been touched.
Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "It should be him, where are the others?"
Lu Fu's expression paused: "No wonder... before entering the palace, he suddenly complained of abdominal pain. I'm afraid he was lying and wanted to escape."
Chen Shaobei immediately handed over his hand: "Your Highness, let me capture this person."
Without waiting for Mo Lingwei's order, Wu Fang's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Mr. Lu's entourage wanted to escape to the ferry, but was caught."
“Bring him in for questioning immediately.”
After a while, the follower A Jin was brought in with a bruised face.
Fortunately, Wu Fang thought he looked strange at the time, so he left two of the prince's personal guards to keep an eye on him in the dark. Unexpectedly, they found out that this follower wanted to escape.
When Lu Fu saw him, he suddenly shouted: "Sin slave, were you the one who revealed the whereabouts of the prince?"
Ah Jin was frightened for a long time. When he saw Zichen Palace's posture, he knelt down with a plop and cried for mercy.
“Your Highness, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me, I deserve to be a slave because I am blinded by money, but I have been seduced, and it was Miss Meng who asked me to do this!”
Miss Meng? Meng Wan Ning?
Mo Lingwei and Chen Shaobei looked at each other, both of them looking cold.
at the same time.
In the Xie Mansion, Shen Ningning couldn't sleep. Coincidentally, before half a cup of tea, Xie Mingxu couldn't sleep either. He found that the lights were still on in his sister's yard, so he invited Shen Ningning to go on a candlelight night out with him.
Xie Mingxu was walking outside holding a lotus lantern. Shen Ningning was holding his sleeve and following behind. The brother and sister were walking through the flower garden, surrounded by fireflies and moonlight. It was quiet and beautiful.
“Little sister, if something like this happens to Lu Shaoyuan, are you still going to marry him?”
Shen Ningning was startled, and her beautiful eyes flashed: "I...I don't care about this matter, but when it comes to marriage, I think I want to think about it again. Brother, if I propose not to get engaged at this time, Lu Shaoyuan will Don’t you think that I rejected him because of this?”
Xie Mingxu pursed his lips, stood still, and looked back with gentle and steady eyes.
"It doesn't matter what he thinks. You have to ask what you think in your own heart. Sometimes, I always feel that you pay too much for others and think too little of yourself."
"Have it?"
"Of course there is. For example, this time, the emperor asked you to separate from the prince. You took into account his situation and the difficulty of being a father, so you agreed, but you wronged yourself, didn't you?"
Shen Ningning was shocked and suddenly raised her beautiful eyes to look at her brother.
Xie Mingxu smiled slightly: "You think brother doesn't know?"
