Chapter 314 He is the Lucky One
Yuan Wanru laughed out loud, "It's okay. You'll probably be very busy after returning to Beijing. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Although she was trying to play a trick on him, she was also playing it safe.
The wound is close to the heart, and it really needs to be taken good care of. Life is so long, and she wants to go further with him.
Lu Jiangnian hugged her and pinched her nose helplessly, "You really don't feel sorry for me at all."
Yuan Wanru raised her eyelids and gave him a coquettish look: "Oh, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Lu Jiangnian laughed and pecked her slightly raised lips: "Nonsense, I'm just too satisfied with you, so I'm greedy, but you insist on torturing me."
Although it was a complaint, the tone was full of doting.
Yuan Wanru just smiled and said nothing.
Lu Jiangnian held her soft body in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
She just said that she was very lucky.
However, he felt that he was the luckiest one because she came into his life.
He never expected that one day he would tie all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness to another person.
But he was willing to do it.
-
Capital city, the Second Prince’s residence.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. The second prince was holding a cup of tea and was reluctant to move.
After a long time, he put down his tea and picked up the book at hand, but he couldn't read a single word.
After enduring for a while, he put the book down in annoyance, picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and found it too sweet. He immediately flew into a rage: "What kind of rubbish is this? You send it here! Who made this cake? Give him ten lashes immediately to teach him a lesson. If he dares to fool his master like this again, the punishment will be doubled."
The Second Prince's wife was taking off the red hairpin on her head with the help of her maid.
When the maid heard the Second Prince's angry rebuke, she trembled with fear and pulled the Second Prince's wife's hair. The pull touched her scalp, causing her great pain.
She immediately frowned and wanted to scold him, but she held back.
Just this look made the maid's legs go weak.
The Second Prince's wife suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Back off."
The maid trembled and left the room. The Second Prince's wife then walked up behind the Second Prince, gently pinched his shoulders, and said softly, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
The Second Prince put his hand on hers and pulled her to sit down. "You don't need to do these things. You might get tired."
The Second Prince's wife always feels particularly good after hearing such thoughtful words.
She smiled even more tenderly: "What is it that is bothering you so much?"
To be honest, the Second Prince's wife is not particularly good-looking, but the Second Prince does have some genuine feelings for her.
Perhaps it was because this woman had always supported him unconditionally since she married him, and no matter what deviant, dark and sinister plots he had made, she had never changed her mind.
The second prince was somewhat touched.
Therefore, this couple can be said to be quite close to each other, and there are not many secrets between them.
"You know, I sent people to kill Lu Jiangnian. Calculating the time, there should be news back by then."
"But, until today, there has been no movement. Could it be that those people failed and were strangled to death by Lu Jiangnian?"
When these things were mentioned, the second prince's eyes gradually turned cold.
The Second Prince's wife pondered for a moment, and naturally would not pour cold water on the Second Prince.
“There are many variables on the road, and many things are unpredictable.”
"However, the people sent out by His Highness are all elite. I think no matter how powerful the people around Lu Jiangnian are, they can't escape."
unless……
Like them, Lu Jiangnian also trained a lot of people privately.
No matter how powerful the guards of the nobles are, they have their limits.
The Second Prince had spent so much effort and money to raise such a group of people. She was absolutely confident that she could take Lu Jiangnian's life.
However, there are always unexpected events. If they secretly raise assassins, wouldn’t others be secretly training them too?
The second prince actually thought of this as well.
However, when the final news did not come, he still held on to hope.
The Second Prince's wife took his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Perhaps the news will arrive tomorrow."
"Maybe. It's late at night. Let's get settled."
There was no point in being anxious, he could only hope that he would get good news.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Just as they were about to turn off the lights, someone arrived.
"Your Highness, there's a letter from the south."
The couple put on their coats again and hurriedly called someone in.
The second prince received the secret letter and read ten lines at a glance. Actually, there were not ten lines, only a short sentence: "Lu Jiangnian was seriously injured and is now approaching the capital. It is expected that he will be able to enter the capital in three days."
Lu Jiangnian is still alive, which means that his people have failed.
The second prince swept away everything on the table.
"The Emperor even praised him for his loyalty and uprightness. I really should let him see what kind of person he favors is!"
"Lu Jiangnian definitely has a group of people hidden."
But what good is it to know the truth? He has no evidence.
The second prince now regrets very much. He had always wanted to win over Lu Jiangnian and tried to control him, but missed many good opportunities to get rid of him.
Unexpectedly, all the plans against Lu Jiangnian came to nothing.
Although they haven't fallen out openly, they have already become enemies behind the scenes.
"The prince definitely knows. Lu Jiangnian and the prince have such a good relationship, there's no way he wouldn't tell the prince."
These days, they have been observing the prince's reaction.
The Eastern Palace was calm and peaceful, with no changes at all. They were not sure how much the Crown Prince knew.
Since Lu Jiangnian has someone on his side with unfathomable strength, he would never let the prince be kept in the dark.
"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace and ask my mother to take action immediately."
They have reached an alliance with Madam Zhaohua. It seems that they need to speed up their actions. They must take advantage of the fact that Lu Jiangnian has not returned to the capital to defeat the prince.
-
In the quiet of the night in the Eastern Palace, candlelight was still on in the prince's study.
In his hands, he held two pieces of paper with many names densely written on them.
The prince looked at it carefully for a long time before he sneered, "I never thought there would be so many suspicious people around me."
He raised his eyes and looked at the man opposite him: "I used to think that the East Palace was an iron bucket and no one could get involved."
The person sitting opposite was Sun Huanzhi.
"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Over the years, it's not just the Crown Prince who has misjudged Concubine Liang. Even a wise emperor like him hasn't seen through her true colors."
The prince has already told Sun Huanzhi about the matter. The detailed origins of the people on the list were screened by Sun Huanzhi.
The Second Prince and the others have already learned that Lu Jiangnian has been cured of the poison, and they will definitely pay more attention to the Eastern Palace.
Therefore, if this matter is handed over to Sun Huanzhi, it will not be so conspicuous.
Sun Huanzhi said, "Your Highness, one of these two lists is irrefutable evidence and is indeed someone else's spy."
"The other list is a possibility. Based on the information I have so far, I cannot conclude whether they are someone else's people."
The prince picked up the list of suspected individuals and said, "I think the people here are the ones we should focus on."
