Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"You mean His Majesty also knows about this matter?"

Jiang Lianzhu was surprised.

After the news that Liao Yunchuan was buried in the sea of ​​​​fire came out, His Majesty Long Yan was furious. For this reason, he asked the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Third Prince to investigate the matter. Jiang Lianzhu suspected many people, but she did not suspect that His Majesty knew about the matter.

"If you think about it carefully, if it weren't for His Majesty who saved me, why would he let you enter the palace to diagnose and treat the prince at this juncture?"

Liao Yunchuan smiled to answer the question.

After what he said, Jiang Lianzhu understood.

Concubine Xi was infected with cold, and she was not allowed to go to the palace to see a doctor because she missed Liao Yunchuan and died.

But the prince's frail health was no longer a matter of a day or two. She had expressed this to His Majesty before, but at this juncture, the Emperor still called her.

"No, how did you know that when I entered the palace today, I was going to treat the prince?"

Just as I figured something out, another question hit me.

Although His Majesty announced her admission to the palace today, he did not explain to her in advance the matter of treating the prince. People outside the palace probably did not know her whereabouts today.

"After your Majesty rescued me, he hid me in the palace."

Liao Yunchuan saw Jiang Lianzhu sitting in front of the window. Although the moonlight was beautiful outside, it was winter now, and the cold wind blew in through the wide open window. He closed the window lattice before continuing to speak.

"While you were diagnosing the prince's pulse, I was hiding in the dark room next to the prince's bedroom."

Kyoto is full of informants, and it is not safe for Liao Yunchuan to hide in any corner of Kyoto. But the palace is different. Except for members of the royal family, no one without a palace badge can enter.

There is no doubt the best hiding place.

"Were you next door?"

At this moment, Jiang Lianzhu felt uncomfortable.

After the explosion and fire, she blamed herself for not being able to rescue Liao Yunchuan from the fire. When she saw the burnt body at the six doors later, Jiang Lianzhu almost felt heartbroken.

She desperately hoped that the news that Liao Yunchuan was not dead would come.

Now listening to Liao Yunchuan's calm voice, saying that he was hiding in the dark room of the East Palace today, how could Jiang Lianzhu feel calm?

Jiang Lianzhu put away the wooden box, stood up and gathered her clothes.

Then he walked to the door and opened it.

"Governor Liao, since your whereabouts should not be exposed, you should leave quickly. If you stay in my Lihua Garden any longer, your life may be in danger."

Jiang Lianzhu's words were filled with anger.

How could Liao Yunchuan not see it?

He stepped forward, took the person in his arms, closed the door, and held the person in his arms to apologize.

"It's my fault, Lianzhu."

"I shouldn't have kept the news that I'm still alive from you, but I was in a coma when I was rescued by His Majesty's secret guards. I just woke up today."

Liao Yunchuan valued Jiang Lianzhu and the child in his heart. Whenever he woke up, he would crawl back to Lihuayuan even if he had to crawl.

"You don't know how excited I was when I heard your voice in the East Palace today, but His Majesty warned me that people have many eyes, and the news that I am not dead cannot be revealed for the time being. In the end, I can only come to Lihua Garden to see you late at night. ."

When he woke up, he had heard the people taking care of him talking about the rumors in Kyoto in the past few days.

He saw Jiang Lianzhu's love and care for him from the mouths of others.

When Jiang Lianzhu heard that he was "buried in a sea of ​​fire", he was devastated and cried bitterly. People in Kyoto praised Jiang Lianzhu for their deep love with him, but Liao Yunchuan was worried about Jiang Lianzhu's health.

Joy, anger, sorrow and joy are the most damaging to the body and heart.

He and Jiang Lianzhu have the same heart. In this life, he only hopes that she can be safe, happy and worry-free.

"Lianzhu, I'm sorry for making you sad, but I'm still very happy to hear that you care about me."

In this fake death, Liao Yunchuan really saw Jiang Lianzhu's affection for him.

"Who cares about you?"

Jiang Lianzhu pushed away Liao Yunchuan who was holding her, walked to the bed on her own, and argued hard.

"Don't believe the crazy rumors circulating on the street. Since you have asked Xu Rong to give me a note, I will naturally make this matter impossible to deal with."

After the autopsy was completed that day, the note written by Xu Rongsai asked her to make the matter bigger.

"I do not believe!"

Liao Yunchuan's eyes were burning. He followed Jiang Lianzhu and sat on the edge of the bed. Facing the bright candlelight, Liao Yunchuan stared into her eyes.

"You said that after Xu Rong gave you that note, how do you explain the things you did for me before?"

Sometimes telling the truth is actually easy to explain.

If Jiang Lianzhu really didn't care about him at all, she would never be heartbroken.

"I know that you rushed into the fire without hesitation when you heard that the patrolmen failed to rescue me. I also know that you burst into tears when you heard that I lost my life. Don't even think about lying to me."

Jiang Lianzhu's face turned red when Liao Yunchuan said these words. Fortunately, it was late at night and she could still hide her face in the dark night.

In fact, when doing these things, Jiang Lianzhu didn't think anything was wrong, she just did it as she thought.

But now that it was said through Liao Yunchuan's mouth, Jiang Lianzhu felt embarrassed.

"Lianzhu, you care about me."

Liao Yunchuan looked at Jiang Lianzhu with bright eyes, vowing to get the long-awaited words from her mouth.

Jiang Lianzhu turned her head away when the man stared at her.

"It's not like you don't know that I'm good at acting, Liao Yunchuan, it seems you were also deceived."

She denied it in a panic and waved her hand as if unintentionally.

"Actually, even without the note from Xu Rong, I still know that the body lying in the six-door compound is not yours."

When Jiang Lianzhu fainted in the sea of ​​​​fire and woke up again, she was afraid and sad.

But when Yang Fei led her to see the charred corpse of Liao Yunchuan, she discovered the clues.

"When did you find out?"

Liao Yunchuan was surprised.

"The charred corpse was specially treated, and the wounds on it were exactly the same as the wounds I had on my way back to Beijing."

"Yes, those new injuries are indeed the same as those described in the letter you sent, but it was the old injuries on the body that made me recognize that the scorched corpse was not yours."

Jiang Lianzhu once pounced on the scorched corpse to look at it. At that time, others only thought that she was grieving because of the loss of her husband, but in fact Jiang Lianzhu was checking the mark.

"You also left injuries when you rescued me. I didn't find that old injury on the charred corpse."

Therefore, the charred corpse lying there could not be Liao Yunchuan in any case.

What happened later only further confirmed her suspicion. The note that Wu Zuo thrust into her when she was crying made Jiang Lianzhu realize that she was not the only one who knew that the charred corpse was not Liao Yunchuan.

"Xu Rong knew that you were not dead. He asked me to make things worse in the note. I thought about it and thought it would do no harm to you. So, after waking up, I deliberately took down a few intentional things on the street. Those who are looking for trouble are taken to Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and redress their grievances...".
