Contract Prince

Concubine Qu had always wanted to get rid of Yu Liang, so she specially arranged for a few eyeliners with strong martial arts skills to secretly monitor his every move outside Lu's mansion, and by the way, also spy on Gu Yunjing and the others' movements clearly.

This eyeliner has been secretly following the crowd and found out Gu Yunjing's whereabouts. Then he quickly returned to Wanchun Tower and reported the situation to Concubine Qu.

Wanchun Building, in the Accord.

After Qu Feiqing went to Heifengzhai to persuade those bandits, she was in a good mood.At this time, she was playing a game with Liu Qing'er, when she saw the man in black enter the room, she put down the white pieces in her hand and asked, "You mean that both Yu Liang and Lu Lin are dead?"

She narrowed her venomous eyes. For her, this is really great news. She took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Gu Yunjing really did me a big favor this time. Other than that Besides, did you find out anything else?"

The man in black said respectfully: "The subordinates followed all the way and found that they had left the bank, collected Lu Lin's body, and then rushed towards Lu's mansion without stopping. After staying in Lu's mansion for half an hour, they rode their horses towards Lu's mansion again. Dali Temple."

"Oh." Qu Feiqing asked, "What are they going to Dali Temple for?"

The man in black shook his head: "This subordinate doesn't know."

Concubine Qu put down her cup, and thoughtfully said: "Lv Zhong asked Zhan today, Gu Yunjing must have gone to Dali Temple to look for him. Why are you looking for him? It must be to find out about Chun's heart from Lu Zhong's mouth .”

She analyzed on her own: "Before Lu Zhong didn't bite us out, he must have had some scruples. But now that everyone in the Lu family is dead, Lu Zhong has no scruples. If Gu Yunjing tempts us a little bit, say Maybe he's going to break the news about us."

The more Concubine Qu analyzed, the more fear grew in her heart. She couldn't sit still anymore, and suddenly stood up, "The court pointed the finger at us before, but there is no evidence. Now it seems that the Wanchun Tower It’s hard to escape this disaster.”

Liu Qing'er heard the words, her face showed panic, "Sister Qu, what should we do now?"

Concubine Qu's eyelids were drooping, her slender fingers were faintly white, she thought for a while, and then said: "The soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, what can we do now, we can only cut off the tail to survive, and abandon the Wanchun Tower."

Liu Qing'er hesitated.In her eyes, Wanchun Tower is not only a romantic place, not only a place to spy on news, but also her nominal and spiritual home.

When she was young, she lived on the street and almost froze to death in the ice and snow.It was Qu Feiqing who saved her and brought her by her side. It was the first time she experienced the concept of family.After arriving in the capital, the Wanchun Mansion opened soon after. Concubine Qu was very busy, so she handed over all the affairs of the Wanchun Mansion to Liu Qing'er.Over the years, Wanchunlou has formed a deep relationship in her heart.

Hearing that Concubine Qu wanted to abandon Wanchun Tower, Liu Qinger's bright face showed a look of unbearable, she whispered: "Sister Qu really wants to abandon Wanchun Tower?"

Concubine Qu let out a breath slowly, her dim eyes flickering slightly, "There is no way to do this. Gu Yunjing and the others are going to find out here soon, take the sisters through the secret passage in the secret room Go, go to Master to avoid the limelight."

Liu Qing'er didn't want to be separated from Concubine Qu, she asked, "What about you?"

"Gu Yunjing's target is me, so I can't stay in Xiao Country's capital. I will go to Cangzhou and bring those recruited from Heifengzhai with me."

Cangzhou is located on the border of the east, which is the most barren place in Xiao Kingdom.Dusty and sandy, extremely dry, and rarely populated.Although the conditions are not good, the geographical location is very important, because after crossing the eastern border, it is the Beiming Kingdom.Therefore, the armored army of the imperial court is stationed on the edge of the eastern border.

"Sister Qu, Cangzhou is full of wind and sand, it's not a place for people to stay. Besides, there are troops from the Xiao Kingdom stationed there, in case you show your feet..."

"Don't worry, I have my own plan. The court's troops are coming soon, so let's go without delay." Qu Feiqing asked, "How many explosives are there in the secret room?"

Liu Qing'er replied: "All those have been shipped to Mr. Huangfu before, and there are still ten packs left."

Qu Feiqing nodded, her voice was harsh: "Ten packs are enough, enough to blow them to pieces."

Liu Qing'er looked at her reluctantly, and begged, "Sister Qu, I don't want to be separated from you, please let me go to Cangzhou with you."

"No." Concubine Qu shook her head, "Master, there is still a need for someone here, so you stay and help her. Among so many sisters, I trust you the most."

Liu Qing'er was puzzled: "People from the imperial court have seen me too, wouldn't it be a bad thing for me to stay here?"

Qu Feiqing patted her and smiled slightly: "Your stay here is very useful, I won't talk about more, Master will arrange it when the time comes. Go."

Liu Qing'er looked back at this delicate woman while walking, a few tears fell from her eyes, and she didn't look back until she left the room.

…………

Near noon, the sun was a little dazzling.After Gu Yunjing arrived at Dali Temple, he ordered his soldiers to wait outside, while he and Xiao Muxue hurriedly dismounted and rushed to Tianzihao Prison.

At this time, Lu Zhong had already been changed into a clean prison uniform, and the proud son-in-law of the past turned into a frail and extremely destitute person in an instant.

His messy black hair was draped over his shoulders, and he was being escorted out of prison. He was handcuffed with heavy chains on his hands and feet, and he could hear the cold and crisp sound of the chains hitting every step he took.

After seeing Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue, he was startled for a moment, and then let out a low and hoarse sneer, his scarlet eyes were filled with coldness, like a leopard that would pounce on him at any time.

"Gu Yunjing, even if I die, a ghost will not let you go! Do you think you are very capable? Just wait, I will become a ghost, harassing you day and night, endlessly!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of loud laughter, which made people feel horrified.

Xiao Muxue glanced at Lu Zhong's crazy appearance, then looked deeply at Gu Yunjing, probably trying to persuade her not to forgive Lu Zhong, because this man is simply crazy and hopeless!

Gu Yunjing knew what Xiao Muxue wanted to express, so she waved her hand lightly. The princess knew what the son-in-law meant, and she sighed helplessly.

The son-in-law took two steps forward, very close to Lu Zhong, because his hands and feet were already chained, so even if he wanted to do anything unfavorable to Gu Yunjing, he would have no chance.

However, Gu Yunjing seemed to have underestimated Lu Zhong's hatred for her, even though her hands and feet were handcuffed.Lu Zhong didn't stop either, his whole body was furious, his body moved forward, he waved his arms, shook the heavy chains, and wanted to hit Gu Yunjing.

Seeing this, the jailer hurriedly kicked Lu Zhong to his knees on the ground, and the two of them held down the maniac him.

Gu Yunjing lowered his eyes, looked at the prisoner kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt infinite emotion.

"Lu Zhong, do you still have no intention of repenting today? It wasn't me, nor the princess, who put you in prison. It was you, and your so-called loyal servant Yu Liang!"

Lu Zhong roared wildly, cursing: "Fuck your mother! I will become a prisoner, and everything is thanks to you!"

Gu Yunjing withdrew her eyes, took two deep breaths, and tried her best to control her emotions: "I didn't come here today to scold you, I intended to let you live, but you are still so obsessed? See? There is no need to spare you."

"Stop f*cking cats crying and rats pretending to be merciful! You will spare me, hum, you are nothing more than trying to deceive me and get some news out of my mouth! Let me tell you, don't dream, even if I die, I won't reveal it." One word!"

Gu Yunjing folded his hands in his sleeves, his face was very calm, and he said with gazing eyes: "I will find out about the matter of Chunxin, even if you don't tell it, it's just a matter of time. I came here today to tell you, your father, Duke Ning, Lu Lin, has... passed away."

Lu Zhong's face froze, and his angry face suddenly became very dull.On weekdays, Lu Lin has strict requirements on him, so he hates his father a little bit, but after all, they are father and son, blood is as thick as water, no matter what, this family relationship cannot be wiped out.

After entering the death row in Dali Temple, Lu Zhongcai discovered that his father was wholeheartedly for his own good.If he hadn't been so arrogant and domineering when he was young, and had followed his father's teachings seriously, how could he have ended up like this today?In fact, Lu Zhong regretted it in his heart. Of course, he would not show any regret in front of Gu Yunjing.

"What did you say?" Lu Zhong asked incredulously, "Is this another trick you used?"

In Lu Zhong's memory, his father Lu Lin paid great attention to health preservation and was in good health. How could he pass away suddenly?

Gu Yunjing's voice became a little low, and she emphasized it again: "The matter of life and death is of great importance, how can you speak wild words? I didn't lie to you, Lu Guogong really passed away."

"He was a noble teacher of the emperor, and he was highly relied upon by His Majesty. He was so glorious during his lifetime. However, when he passed away, it was indeed very embarrassing. His son was imprisoned and could not send him to his death."

Lu Zhong's eyes were fixed on Gu Yunjing, as if he wanted to catch the change in the other's face, but he looked at the son-in-law with a serious look, and he didn't seem to be lying.Lu Zhong panicked and asked eagerly, "Why did my father die suddenly? What happened?"

"Do you still remember that you have a good servant, Yu Liang? He was the one who killed the Duke, not only the Duke, but also the entire Lu family. No one survived."

"What? How did this happen?" Lu Zhong looked more excited than before. He wanted to get up from the ground, but his body was still firmly held down by the jailers, unable to move.

Gu Yunjing said: "Let him go."

The guards looked embarrassed: "My son-in-law, this..."

"He has chains on his hands and feet, so he can't hurt me. Go down first."

After hesitating for a while, the jailers let Lu Zhong go, obeyed the order of the son-in-law, and walked out of the prison to guard the gate.

Xiao Muxue was still worried, after all Lu Zhong was just a mad dog, he would bite anyone if he was in a hurry.She was worried that her son-in-law would be hurt, so she also took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Gu Yunjing.

Gu Yunjing said in a deep voice: "If you want to know the ins and outs of the matter, you must first control your emotions. Can you do it?"

His father and his family all died, no matter how rebellious Lu Zhong was usually, no matter how big-hearted he was, he would still be saddened to hear the news.He no longer has the mind to insult Gu Yunjing anymore, he just wants to know what happened at home.

Although he was unwilling to listen to Gu Yunjing's order, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Gu Yunjing's eyes darkened, and she told Lu Zhong everything seriously, without hiding anything.Including Lu Lin blocking the knife for her.

Lu Zhong tensed his face: "So my father died to save you!"

Gu Yunjing took his hand away from his cuff, rubbed his fingers gently between his palms, and nodded slightly: "Although the Duke was not killed by me, his death is indeed related to me."

Lu Zhong's voice suddenly turned cold, as if the coldness was about to seep into his bones: "Then have you figured out how to pay for your life?"

Xiao Muxue looked at Lu Zhong expressionlessly: "Even if the Duke-in-law hadn't blocked the sword for the son-in-law, he wouldn't survive. Yu Liang had already given him the poison before that. The death of the Lu family will save everyone from death." It fully proves this point. Therefore, this death has nothing to do with the son-in-law."

"Although Lu Guogong had conflicts with his son-in-law, at the critical moment, he still showed his righteous side. You are father and son, but you are not even one percent of your father. If something happens, you will Blame others, never blame yourself."

"Not only that, you are also selfish and narrow-minded, and you will use all means to achieve your goals. Lu Lin is really ashamed to have a son like you. His old man's reputation has also been ruined by you." Xiao Muxue The words became more and more fierce, "Lv Zhong's matter has been up to now, you still don't know how to repent, and put all the faults on the son-in-law."

"The son-in-law's heart is kind and doesn't care about you, but I didn't expect you to be more aggressive! The most brazen person in the world is you! If it weren't for the son-in-law, you would have been on the guillotine by now. Do you still have the opportunity to scream in front of us? ?”

Lu Zhong has always coveted Xiao Muxue's beauty, the princess' words are indeed more useful than the concubine's.After listening, he restrained his emotions slightly, and fell silent for a while.

There was a moment of silence in the prison.

Gu Yunjing said: "Your parents passed away one after another today. According to human ethics and morality, you, a son, should send them off for the last time. I will release you from prison and go to see them off."

Her voice paused: "If you have the intention of repenting, I will ask His Royal Highness King An to release you. If you have no intention of repenting, just stay in this dark prison for the rest of your life."

Lu Zhong was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Do you know why Yu Liang killed my father and family? It can't be just for money."

Gu Yunjing thought for a while, and replied: "I don't know either. The Duke was poisoned at the time and was stabbed in the abdomen. He passed away before he could tell me the details."

"But I thought about it carefully. Yu Liang stole Ku Yin from the imperial court. Maybe your father found out about it, and then he wanted to kill people to silence it."

Only now did Lu Zhong know that Gu Yunjing regarded Yu Liang as the murderer who stole Ku Yin.He hesitated for a while, and kept muttering in his heart, should he tell her the truth?

Even though Gu Yunjing told Lu Zhong the truth of the matter, he still hated the son-in-law in his heart.Therefore, he didn't want to reveal the truth to Gu Yunjing so quickly, even if he wanted to say it, he had to negotiate a condition with the other party.

Gu Yunjing didn't know about Lu Zhong's flamboyance, she said: "Let's go, go back to Lu's mansion and meet your parents. Before they die, they will definitely miss you very much."
