Chapter 292: The Mystery Revealed (4)
Before leaving the palace, she secretly ordered Wu Zhong, Gu Yu, Wu Liu and the thirty secret guards who stayed behind to leave Luo City in batches.
If she and Lu Yingxing still don't show up at the meeting point outside the city at 3 p.m. tomorrow, they must give up the rescue and head directly north. If she and Lu Yingxing can escape, they will find a way to catch up.
At this moment, Lu Yingxing's palm tightened unconsciously, as if he wanted to engrave the slender hand in his palm into his heart. The moonlight poured on them, and the two smiled at each other. That smile contained thousands of words, which showed the unwavering trust in each other and the fearlessness of sharing life and death.
Prince De looked at the scene and felt both moved and relieved. Shen Yu was not Su Yixia. Even if Lu Yingxing really fell in love with another woman in the future, she would not let herself end up in humiliation. He was finally relieved.
"No, Shen Nian has been the Queen Mother's person from the beginning to the end..." Prince De sighed, her eyes full of self-mockery and powerlessness. She still didn't believe me.
Shen Yu turned around, her eyes full of shock. Obviously, this answer was beyond her imagination.
But after thinking about it, it seems reasonable? This answer seems more reasonable. After all, the person Shen Nian hurt was Su Yixia. If she was really the favorite of the King of De, he would have no reason to watch this happen... And the emperor was obviously on the same side as him, which only meant that this matter was beyond everyone's expectations.
"After I broke my leg, I was indeed in desolation and despair for a while. After all, the people who hurt me were actually my mother and my younger brother..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor retorted, "Hey! I have been shouldering this blame for many years. Didn't you already find out the whole story?"
Then she kept winking at Prince De and said, "Stop it, don't I have any face?"
Prince De glanced at him, obviously not intending to let him go. Although many years had passed, the resentment in his heart had long been replaced by relief. Even if it wasn't for this stupid brother, everything that followed might still be unavoidable, or even worse...
But this did not stop him from taking the opportunity to complain, "Back then, he was jealous of my extraordinary prowess and wanted me to embarrass myself in horse racing, so he gave my favorite horse chin beans, but they were replaced with drugs that made the horse crazy, which led to the accident... But later he confessed, and even said that this throne was just for me, and he would agree to all my requests, so you don't have to be nervous, as long as I'm here, he won't dare to touch you!"
He said this deliberately. Seeing that Shen Yu's face was still jumping, he had to continue, "Everyone thinks that I stay in the palace all day long. In fact, I have been managing the royal family's business all these years. Speaking of this..."
He looked at Shen Yu again, "Jin Yu Man Tang is our first cooperation." But she smiled faintly, and her smile was still cold, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.
"Okay, okay, let me continue. After I recovered from my broken leg, I learned that your mother had married and had a daughter. I was very shocked at the time, but I was already a useless person, so why bother to bother her? I admit that I was evasive, which is why I only knew that her husband was a scholar. But a few years later, his success in the imperial examination was indeed facilitated by the emperor, because he actually offered to help bring down Su Taifu..."
"So we just went with the flow. Also, he always thought that the person who contacted him in Jiangnan was also the emperor's man. So, I did know that his purpose in contacting your mother was not pure, but your mother always believed that she married a perfect husband, so I... But last time you said that she was not marrying voluntarily, she never mentioned this..." Prince De's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and blue veins were faintly visible under his skin.
"Why did the Queen Mother send Shen Nian to contact my mother?" Shen Yu asked. Shouldn't it be so? They had no intersection.
Seeing that his wife was stabbed without knowing it, Lu Yingxing gently reminded her, "I guess... it's because the Queen Mother wanted to see Prince De in pain."
Shen Yu understood that the old bitch was indeed a pervert. Not only did she break her son's leg, but she also wanted to harm his sweetheart. No wonder the brothers hated her so much.
"So, it is indeed me who has let your mother down. It was because I failed to hide my feelings that I harmed her..." Prince De choked.
Shen Yu disagreed with this statement, "You are blaming the victim, right? Isn't the murderer the one who should be blamed? Your statement clearly attributes the cause of the crime to the victim, which is not right! Are you blaming me for going out today because we were bitten by a dog while passing by? It was obviously the dog's owner who didn't discipline it well."
Upon hearing this, Prince De's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he asked more aggressively, "Then Yu'er, have you forgiven me?" His eyes revealed a bit of urgency and sincerity.
Shen Yu, “…………” It turns out that you were playing me just now.
I asked another question, "Excuse me, why did you tell Xu Yaying that the former Princess Zhuo was in your hands?"
"Oh, that was just something I said casually. Otherwise, she would be asking too many questions." Speaking of this, the emperor also reminded, "Don't worry about me training my son. We, the royal family of Los Angeles, don't need sheep!"
Shen Yu: “…………” So I say you are all crazy.
In fact, after hearing the story, she was not as nervous as she was at the beginning. The emperor's previous strange behavior was also explained. There seemed to be no deep hatred between them, and Prince De had indeed been secretly protecting her and her brother.
But, the fact that this group of people didn't care about Lu Yingxing's life or death made her very upset! !
When he met his wife's gaze, he immediately understood the struggle in her heart, and his heart felt warm again.
Although he no longer has the ability to read minds, the two of them have been together for a long time, and he has more or less figured out his wife's thoughts. "I am also very lucky. It is because of A Yu that I survived, so Madam..." He directly held her in his arms and said in his most reassuring posture, "You can't leave me. They don't care whether I live or die. Only Madam loves me."
"Lu! Ying! Go!" Prince De was furious. This kid was actually adding fuel to the fire. He was so shameless.
"Put your hands down!" He clenched his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Shen Yucai ignored them. Based on the clues she had learned and the plot of the original book, she couldn't help but speculate in her mind the version of the novel that she thought was closest:
In the original book, Shen Yu, the last bloodline of the Su family, had died long ago, and his younger brother naturally did not survive either. To outsiders, the Su family had long been wiped out and the Su family was extinct, which resulted in Lu Yingxing's unilateral bloodline becoming no longer important.
Xu Yaying originally wanted to become the queen, so she took the initiative to cooperate with the emperor and offered to help him deal with Prince Zhuo. The emperor's attitude was that it didn't matter whether he lived or died, so why not take back the fiefdom with a legitimate reason?
However, Prince De and Mu Hao said that they had tampered with the Heavenly Prison in advance, which proved that they also believed that someone would come to rescue him. Anyway, "Prince Zhuo" was dead and the fiefdom was reclaimed, so Lu Ying could just leave!
The problem was that the emperor and his men did not know that the old Prince Zhuo had been imprisoned in Luocheng by the empress dowager. So at the critical moment of the prison break, the person who threatened Lu Yingxing with the old Prince Zhuo to die should have been the empress dowager, and the emperor and his men did not care about seeing Lu Yingxing die.
So, Lu Yingxing in the book actually died in vain... He was destined to be cannon fodder!
So, it was really because I traveled through time that he became the male protagonist? Look, the treasure that suppressed the bloodline has been found!
