935 Astonishing (4)
No matter how curious everyone was, Prince Ruiâs mansion was like an impregnable wall. They did not know anything and could not find out anything.
In the Lu mansion, Lu Wanâer was pacing back and forth in the room. She said to Madam Lu, âMother, I want to see Prince Yu. I wonder how he is doing. What if heâs seriously injured?â
Madam Lu comforted her. âIt canât be that serious. If itâs really serious, they will be inviting all the doctors in Long Ye over. Thereâs not much movement in Prince Ruiâs mansion at all now. I think the situation is under control. Why do you want to go over to join in the fun?â
âBut I feel very uneasy.â Lu Wanâer said, âItâs all Shen Miaoâs fault. Sheâs simply a jinx. As soon as she married Prince Rui, something happened to him. Sheâs the jinx! They have to get divorced as soon as possible. If they continue to live together, something might really happen to Prince Rui.â
Madam Lu smiled and said, âYes, yes, yes. However, you canât go over now. When Prince Rui is better, ask your sister to think of a way to let the two of you meet. Donât cause trouble now.â
Lu Wanâer said, âMother, donât lie to me.â
After Lu Wanâer left, the smile on Madam Luâs face darkened. She instructed the maid at the side, âKeep an eye on Miss and donât let her go out for the next few days. If she causes trouble, Iâll punish you!â At the end of her sentence, her tone was ruthless and her face was ferocious, just like the fierce-looking General Lu Zhengchun.
The maids lowered their heads repeatedly in agreement.
On the other side, in the Prime Ministerâs mansion, Madam Ye and Master Ye were also talking about this.
Madam Ye was playing chess with Master Ye. Ye Maocai was completely different from Lu Zhengchun. Lu Zhengchun was a typical martial artist. One look and one could tell that he was someone who had been on the battlefield. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and his fierce appearance was probably enough to scare a child to tears. On the other hand, Ye Maochun looked harmless and amiable like a scholar.
However, the fact that Emperor Yong Le didnât dare to fall out with him openly meant that he was definitely not a harmless person.
Madam Ye placed a piece down and said with a smile, âPrince Ruiâs mansion is like a metal bucket. We canât find out anything at all. I wonder what Prince Rui looks like now. I canât eat or sleep well. Iâm really frustrated.â
âMadam, donât you already have a plan in mind? Why are you troubled by this?â Ye Maochun smiled and placed a piece down.
As she placed the chess piece, Madam Ye said, âNo news is bad news. Prince Rui is high-profile. As long as he can, he will show up. The reason why he hasnât shown up for a long time is probably because he canât.â
Ye Maochun smiled. âMaybe heâs trying to confuse us.â
Madam Ye said, âI donât think so.â
âOh? Why is that?â
Madam Ye looked at the chessboard and said, âIâm not sure about Prince Rui, but the emperor is not hiding it. He has already started to deal with the Lu family. From the looks of it, Prince Rui must be seriously injured.â
Ye Maochun laughed out loud. âMadam, I didnât know you could see through everything in the imperial court. Then why donât you take a guess and see what I plan to do?â
