Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 30 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (30)

"Just like those bones under the garden, if they hadn't vanished mysteriously, who would dare to say anything? And what if King Lu recovers and finds out we searched his alchemy room and secret room, and then comes back to blame us?

The alchemy room is an absolute taboo for King Lu.

No one can enter without his permission.

The last time two people broke in, they were beaten to death on the spot.

Normal people might consider that we are helping them, and even if they don’t reward us, at least they won’t blame us.

But King Lu is obviously not normal!

I told you, you might not dare to search!"

Doctor Wang did not obey Zhai Hongxia just because he was the county magistrate. After all, they were not from the same system.

Moreover, his life was saved in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Lu's tongue suddenly grew bigger and his four legs turned into pig's trotters, he would have been dragged away and chopped to pieces by Prince Lu's men.

How could he survive till now?

Nowadays, every second of life is earned.

"This..." Zhai Hongxia was not angry, but just a little hesitant. According to rumors, Prince Lu might indeed be a bit abnormal. The other princes at most looked like unruly monarchs, but Prince Lu did not look like a human being.

This kind of neurotic prince and royal family.

It only appeared more frequently during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

He never changes his ways in order to make elixirs. It is conceivable that the alchemy room must be very important to him.

"How about asking King Lu for his opinion?"

Another smart person has made a suggestion.

Doctor Wang rolled his eyes, while Dong Huaide gave a helpless smile: "Although the prince's hand has turned into a pig's trotter, at most he can't hold a brush, but he can still write with the pig's trotter dipped in ink. As long as he tries to control his tongue, he can also barely speak a few words.

But the prince still can't accept it.

The slightest stimulation would injure his tongue, let alone communicating with him or asking him to write. Even if he could occasionally yell out a few unclear words, it would most likely kill him."

Although his words were obscure, everyone present actually understood that Prince Lu was currently in a very unstable mood. If they asked directly and then provoked him, it would be hard to say whether he would first say yes or not, or first say to kill the person who suggested entering the alchemy room.

Do they listen or not?
"Then let's search secretly. When the time comes, have everyone pay attention and remember where things were originally. After the search, put them back to their original places. I think after what happened to Prince Lu, even if he can recover, it will be difficult for him to remember the layout of the alchemy room clearly. As long as the error is not too big, it should be fine."

Zhai Hongxia thought about it and decided to search. At worst, he would just keep the Prince of Lu from finding out. Anyway, the Prince of Lu couldn't move and could only stay in his own palace. He also needed to drink tranquilizing soup frequently to make him drowsy, lest he couldn't handle it after waking up and went crazy.

As soon as he spoke, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, he is the one with the highest status and position here. If he doesn't make the decision, who can take the responsibility?
Moreover, he was indeed the best person to make the decision in this matter, because he and Prince Lu were not from the same system. No matter how angry Prince Lu was, if he wanted to take action against him, he would have to do it secretly, or at most assassinate him. He would never dare to beat to death with a stick as he did to the people in Prince Lu's mansion.

The prince killed local officials without authorization.

No one would believe if you said you weren't rebelling!
Immediately afterwards, Zhai Hongxia asked his confidant Zhou Hui to go out and instruct the people he brought with him to search the places that had not been searched before, and to carefully check whether there were secret rooms or secret passages in the places that had been searched. He also asked the old people in the Prince of Lu's Mansion if they knew about the relevant situation.

Dong Huaide also sent people to ask for active cooperation.

And they gathered together to continue discussing various possibilities, analyzing motives, etc. In the absence of conclusive evidence, analyzing motives first is not a wrong direction, such as who hates King Lu the most and has the ability and opportunity to take action against him.

And who might benefit from this?
"If we talk about hating Prince Lu, then the scope is too broad and too wide. To be frank, the number of people who died because of Prince Lu is simply too numerous to count. This includes his close associates, the Chief Secretary and a series of auxiliary officials in the palace, as well as those who died from refining the elixir and the princess who was just sentenced to death.

These dead people naturally hated him.

As for these people's surviving relatives and family members, I don't think they would have any good intentions towards the King of Lu."

"Some people have been dead for several years. It's impossible for their families to wait for several years to come back for revenge. Besides, those people probably don't have the ability to do so."

"It's hard to say. It's precisely because I don't have much ability that I need more time to prepare."

"Let's not talk about the distant things, let's discuss the near things first."

"The closest ones should be the Princess and the Imperial Physician. The Princess was sentenced to death. It is impossible to say that the Shu family has no complaints at all. At most, they dare not say it. At the same time, their family also has the ability to do such a thing.

He should be capable, after all, he is a powerful person.

Isn't Duke Shu a branch of the Meng family? If you trace back to Mencius, your ancestor is still Mencius, and the family lineage has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

It should be normal and reasonable if you have some background!"

"That's impossible. If the Shu family really didn't want to, they wouldn't harm Prince Lu. At most, they could secretly replace Prince Lu's wife. As long as Princess Lu remains anonymous and never shows up again, she won't appear.

I don’t think His Majesty will delve into this matter further.”

"Yeah, the person is dead, what's the point of seeking revenge? It might even cost the lives of your entire family."

"Wait, what's going on with Doctor Wang?"

"Oh, yes, if you must say so, Doctor Wang did have a lot to do with Prince Lu's condition. When blue, purple, and black spots appeared all over Prince Lu's body, it was Doctor Wang who was performing acupuncture on him. When Prince Lu regained consciousness and discovered he had been acupunctured, he flew into a rage and immediately called in the guards. They dragged Doctor Wang out and beat him to death with a stick. The guards had already entered by then.

As a result, Prince Lu's tongue suddenly grew larger, and he couldn't speak or give orders. Then his limbs turned into pig's trotters and couldn't move. Then everyone's attention was drawn to Prince Lu's transformation. I thought that since Prince Lu had become like this, it would be more convenient to have an imperial physician in the palace instead of going out to find a doctor to help.

So they did not continue to carry out King Lu's order.

Moreover, the order of Prince Lu was not in compliance with the law. After all, the imperial physician was not a servant of the palace, so how could he be beaten to death at will?

Therefore, Doctor Wang's life was saved.

Now that I think about it, it’s a bit too coincidental.”

After discussing for a while, Dong Huaide couldn't help but turn his suspicious eyes to Doctor Wang. Could it be that Prince Lu was right, and it was really Doctor Wang who was secretly harming him?

That's why King Lu was so angry and wanted to kill him.

Doctor Wang could no longer remain calm at this point, and his voice trembled as he argued:
"It's unfair. You said it all before. I gave Prince Lu acupuncture after all the spots appeared on his body. As for the changes afterwards, how would I know what happened?

If only my acupuncture had this ability.

Do you think you can just be an ordinary imperial physician?"

Doctor Wang was really a little panicked, because he seriously suspected that Dong Huaide really couldn't find any clues and wanted to take the blame on him. If he really wanted to take the blame on him.

Then it’s not a question of whether he can save his own life, but whether the lives of his entire family can be saved?
So how could Doctor Wang not be panicked?
