Confiscated the property and exiled? I emptied the warehouse and fled the famine.

"Not only that, this was his agreement with the Emperor of Dongling at the beginning, but as time went on, his heart became more twisted, and he wanted to rule Dongling and Lanyuan. In that battle, the Lu family was ostensibly killed, but in fact, they had been lured away by him. I don't know which young master of the Lu family you are talking about, but what she said just now about there being someone from your Lu family in Lanyuan is indeed correct."

As soon as Xiangling said this, Ruan Yunsheng immediately grasped the key point, "Do you know where they are?"

"I know. After all, I am a princess. No matter how perverted the emperor's uncle is, I am his only niece."

Ruan Yunsheng's eyes lit up, "Can you tell us?"

Xiangling smiled softly, "Since sister wants to know, Xiangling must be completely clear. The old general Lu she mentioned is indeed in the underground dungeon of Lanyuan State. His condition is not very good. I heard that the emperor's uncle cut wounds on all visible parts of his body and imprisoned him in a water dungeon. He put all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the water. If he can't hold on, the emperor's uncle will have people feed him medicine to keep him alive.

There is also a couple who were trained by the emperor's uncle to be poisoners. The emperor's uncle secretly trained a group of poisoners. The poison in their bodies all came from these two people. It can be said that these two people are their poison father and mother. Every day, they are fed countless kinds of poison by the emperor's uncle to maintain their identity as poisoners. There is also a person who was trained by him to be a corpse and helps him kill people by his side without the slightest consciousness.

As for the last one, even the uncle didn’t know where he was. He escaped one day and the uncle couldn’t find him since then.”

The more Lu Zhizhou listened, the deeper his frown deepened. "You mean there's still someone missing in my Lu family? Is your uncle trying to make poisonous people in order to take over Dongling Kingdom?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, I think if you really want to know the truth of the matter, you and your sister should go to Lanyuan to find out for yourself."

Xiangling's call of "brother-in-law" touched Lu Zhizhou's heart. Lu Zhizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Shengsheng, I think what she said makes sense."

Ruan Yunsheng was speechless when he saw Lu Zhizhou's expression, but Xiangling was right. If he wanted to know the truth, he had to go to Lanyuan in person. But now their identities...

"Originally I didn't want to show my strength so soon, but now I have to do it. Lu Zhizhou, I think it's time for us to redeem ourselves."

"Borrowing? Didn't we just arrive in Southern Xinjiang? And don't we have so much money?" Lu Yunruo looked incredulous. She knew that the laws of Dongling Country allowed exiled prisoners to redeem themselves, but redeeming themselves right after arriving in Southern Xinjiang...

"Well, there is no other way to rescue father and brother as soon as possible, but we can't be in a hurry right now. We must solve the matter of the Fengcheng County Magistrate first as a top priority." Lu Zhizhou comforted Ruan Yunsheng. He was more anxious than Ruan Yunsheng, but now was not the time to be in a hurry. He also wanted to rescue his father and brother as soon as possible, but he was also responsible for the lives of all the people behind them.

"What Zhizhou said makes sense. Saving people is important but the lives of so many people are also important. Given the current situation in Fengcheng, even if you redeem yourself, it may not be easy to leave. In this case, why not resolve all the issues before making a decision." Madam Lu's lips had long lost their color. When she heard the miserable condition of her husband and son, she wanted to rescue them immediately. But she couldn't. She couldn't do that. If she did that, she would be leaving the lives of her daughter-in-law and others open to be slaughtered.

"Mom is right. Now is not the time to rush. After all, we already know where father and brother are. It is only a matter of time to rescue them." Lu Zhizhou clenched his hands at his sides.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. But I have to go out tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" Lu Zhizhou guessed where she was going, "Okay."

"Mother, the court of Dongling Kingdom has long been corrupt. Since my Lu family has created this fate, why don't we see it clearly? Qingran is the real prince. If this is the case, why don't we push him to the throne? Otherwise, how many lives can we have to avoid being framed again and again."

Lu Zhizhou's expression was a little heavy, there were some things he didn't want to start so early. His father and brother were the last fuse that crushed him. If the emperor was unkind, he would overthrow the emperor. If the court was unjust, he would overthrow the court.

"I can't control the affairs of you young people. I am old and just want to take good care of my husband, son and future grandchildren."

As soon as Mrs. Lu said this, Lu Zhizhou knew what she meant, "The ancestral precepts of the Lu family..."

"That's what your father promised them. What does it have to do with you?"

There was a glimmer of cunning in Lu Zhizhou's eyes. Ruan Yunsheng was also stunned when she heard what Old Madam Lu said. It was the first time she saw Old Madam Lu like this after spending so much time together.

"My son knows."

"Chen Qingran is the prince, so he and our family..." Lu Yunruo suddenly blurted out. The Lu family's sisters-in-law gave her a grateful look and asked the question they dared not ask.

"Chen Qingran's identity was replaced by someone else. The second prince in the palace was actually a fake. I think he himself should know his identity. When he was in Furong City, he came to Lu Zhizhou to reminisce about the past and to find out whether Chen Qingran knew his identity."

"Shengsheng is right."

Lu Zhizhou looked at Ruan Yunsheng, and they smiled at each other.

Lu Yunruo was a little confused, "If that's the case, why don't you just tell the emperor directly?"

Lu Zhizhou didn't want to answer her stupid question. Ruan Yunsheng sighed, "Who is the Chen family related to?"

"Of course it's our Lu family." Lu Yunruo looked proud.

"Ah."

"Hmm?" Lu Yunruo still didn't quite understand. She looked at Ruan Yunsheng and Lu Zhizhou, who didn't seem to be explaining any further. She then looked at her two sisters-in-law, who both had understandable expressions. Lu Yunruo wondered why she was the only one who didn't know.

"Xiao Ba, you should read more of the Four Books and Five Classics and learn how to be a good queen."

Ruan Yunsheng held back her laughter and looked at Lu Yunruo. It was hard for her to imagine what it would be like if Lu Yunruo really became the queen with her personality.

"What? Queen? Me? What's going on?"

Ruan Yunsheng smiled but said nothing, while Old Madam Lu looked very disappointed.

"Are you serious?" Lu Yunruo looked at everyone. At first she thought they were joking with her, but when she saw the expressions of her seventh brother and mother, she knew that this was no joke.

"Xiao Ba, I've asked you to stay with Qing Ran since you were a child. Do you really think I'm just trying to entertain you?"

"But why me?" Lu Yunruo didn't understand. It seemed that there was nothing outstanding about her.

"A young boy will always have some palpitations, but his status is not ordinary and does not allow him to have any bad stains or troubles. Letting you stay with him is also to prevent Qingran from having any palpitations."

Lu Yunruo listened in a daze. She seemed to understand but also seemed not to understand.

"Yun Sheng, Yun Sheng, Chang Feng has woken up but seems a little abnormal." Meng Yanan hurriedly pushed open the door.
