Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Impossible, Meng Yunshang, you are clearly poisoned."

Lu Yuanjing was not convinced.

"Even if you have the ability to detoxify, the white fir can still kill you without a burial place. But how come you are fine?"

"Of course it's because Bai Cong was defeated by me, just like you will always be defeated by my prince."

"Impossible," Lu Yuanjing struggled desperately, "I haven't lost yet. Even if you, Meng Yunshang, are not dead, Lu Yuanqing will definitely die. Once he dies, this world will still be mine."

"Tsk tsk, you may not look pretty, but you think beautifully. How about you guess where my prince is now?"

Lu Yuanjing was shocked.

Lu Chenxiao was well-known for doting on his wife, so there was no reason for him to let Meng Yunshang come to him alone without accompanying him.

Unless he was delayed by something else.

Relating to Meng Yunshang's words...

Could it be that Lu Chenxiao was secretly guarding Lu Yuanqing?

If this is true, then Meng Yunshang being poisoned at the palace banquet, Lu Yuanqing issuing a list to find a miracle doctor, the brothers falling out, and Lu Yuanqing being forced to leave the palace to pray for blessings, all of these were actually performed for him.

Just to lure him out!

Damn it, he was totally unaware and was fooled.

Seeing his face pale and blue, Meng Yunshang sighed, "It seems that you are not too stupid. You understood our plan immediately. But it's too late after all. I wonder if you have thought about your own fate in advance?"

"Meng Yunshang!" Lu Yuanjing shouted in anger.

Meng Yunshang snorted and gestured to the Xuanyi Guards behind her.

Soon, Lu Yuanjing and his family of three were brought back to the dungeon of Prince Heng's mansion.

On Emperor Yuan Qing's side, they were almost halfway through the mountain road and if they persisted a little longer they would reach Huangjue Temple.

Suddenly, many huge rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain. While Lu Chi was still talking, Emperor Yuan Qing had been taken to a safe area by Lu Chenxiao, who was disguised as an imperial guard.

The two brothers looked down at Lu Chi, who was unable to dodge and was smashed beyond recognition by the huge rock.

He also saw with his own eyes several unfamiliar faces in the team, searching everywhere for Emperor Yuan Qing, with daggers shining coldly in their hands.

They were obviously prepared. If Emperor Yuan Qing was not hit by the boulder, they would be ready to stab him a few more times.

The two brothers looked at each other and saw solemnity and hostility in each other's eyes.

Lu Yuanjing!

He doesn't deserve to live anymore.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Qin Yimo discovered where Emperor Yuan Qing was and flew up.

Lu Chenxiao turned sideways, not planning to reveal his identity right away.

Emperor Yuan Qing blocked Qin Yimo's gaze tacitly, "I'm fine, what's going on down there?"

"The boulder was pushed down from the top of the mountain. I will escort Your Majesty down the mountain first, and then take people up the mountain to check the situation. Please approve it, Your Majesty."

"It takes too much time to go down the mountain and then up again. You should just take people up the mountain to check it out. Remember to leave some alive."

"But your safety is more important, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Qing waved his hand calmly, "With the secret guards here, you don't have to worry about my safety."

Qin Yimo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, then led his men to the top of the mountain.

Emperor Yuan Qing continued to look back at the place where Lu Chi was crushed to death.

Cui Cheng had already discovered that something was wrong, but he was a civil official and could do nothing about it.

He was soon targeted by the fake imperial guards holding daggers and was about to be stabbed.

Lu Chenxiao threw a few stones and successfully rescued him.

But he did not stop there. Instead, he wandered around fearlessly.

"What is he doing?"

There are still rocks being pushed down from the mountain. Wouldn't a normal person find a safe place to hide first after being rescued?

What does Cui Cheng mean?

Lu Chenxiao played with the remaining stones in his hand and guessed calmly, "He must have discovered that you were missing and was worried that you were in trouble, so he wanted to protect you beyond his ability."

Emperor Yuan Qing was very happy. "He is more loyal and intelligent than his father."

"Brother, what did you intend to do by deliberately keeping Cui Jian in the capital?"

Emperor Yuan Qing glared at him in disapproval, "You asked even though you knew the answer, didn't you?"

Lu Chenxiao's mouth twitched slightly, "I think you are looking for trouble."

Emperor Yuan Qing was full of questions, "Why do you say that?"

"Based on the evidence we have, Cui Jian is guilty but not punishable by death. If he had followed you out of Beijing to pray for blessings, he would have been very likely to protect you at this critical moment. When we later judge the merits and punish him, you can reward him with some money, and both the emperor and his subjects will be happy."

"But if you leave him in the capital now, he will not only cause trouble for Shang'er, but he may also become arrogant and make big mistakes."

"When he comes to you, will you punish him or not? If you punish him, how should you punish him? Should you include Cui Cheng in the punishment?"

Lu Chenxiao spoke slowly, simply and straightforwardly.

Emperor Yuan Qing understood it almost instantly.

But after I understood it, I had a headache.

"hiss……"

Why didn't he think of this at the time?

How to break this situation now?

Emperor Yuan Qing paced back and forth as usual, his brows furrowed in a frown.

Lu Chenxiao, like nothing had happened, leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

So angry!

I know that the emperor is not a human being.

After a while, Emperor Yuan Qing finally came up with a solution that was not really a solution.

"I think whether or not to punish Cui Jian depends on how big a mess he can make next. If he really goes to provoke my sister-in-law as you said, maybe my sister-in-law can help me deal with him directly."

Lu Chenxiao looked up in surprise.

It would be fine if he just let Cui Jian cause trouble for his wife, but he also plans to ask his wife to help deal with Cui Jian?

Is this what a king should say?

Emperor Yuan Qing felt uneasy at the sight of his cold gaze and fake-coughed twice to divert his attention.

"The more capable you are, the more work you should do. It's because my sister-in-law is so tough."

"I told you, my wife is very heroic and is as good as any man."

Not tough.

"Yes, yes, she is very brave and heroic, and she is as good as any man. So she can definitely help me deal with Cui Jian's problem."

Lu Chenxiao: "..."

I don't really want to talk anymore.

Hengwang Mansion

After Meng Yunshang instructed Lu Kang to keep a close eye on Lu Yuanjing and his family of three, she prepared to return to Hefengyuan to bathe and change clothes.

But Dan Gui stopped her with a serious face, "Princess, the prince has been studying in Yingxu Courtyard all day, why don't you go to Yingxu Courtyard to accompany him first?"

"???"

"Or you can go to the prince's Qingfeng Courtyard and sit there."

The corners of Meng Yunshang's mouth twitched slightly, "So, you blew up my Hefengyuan?"

Dan Gui smiled flatteringly, "It's not that the house would explode. It's just that Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi accidentally made the house smell of blood. I was afraid that you, Princess, would not like it, so..."

"Heh!" Meng Yunshang felt a little itchy.

"Don't worry, Princess. We have cleaned the house three times inside and out and are opening the windows for ventilation. It will probably be healed soon."

As long as the princess doesn't come into the room right away.

Meng Yunshang gritted her teeth and said, "Tell Xuanwu and Xuanqi to come see me!"

Dan Gui was immediately excited, "Okay, I'll go call them right away."

He looked as if he couldn't wait to jump up.

Meng Yunshang: “???”

Is she so happy to see Xuanwu and Xuanqi being humiliated?
