The study fell into deathly silence.

No one spoke, but everyone felt a tangible pressure.

Even Shangguan Ling broke out in a cold sweat for Luo San.

This guy has been fed some kind of drug by the Grand Commander. He really doesn't care about his life...

Lu Yuan maintained the necessary stubbornness and disappointment on his face, but not too much. After all, he was only inspired by Lu Yuan and did not become another Lu Yuan.

Today, he not only wanted to make the prime minister believe that he was Luo San, but more importantly, he wanted the prime minister to see a different son.

He doesn't want a son who obeys him in everything.

But once this son grew into flesh and blood, developed his own pride, and began to escape his control, he finally began to look at his son in the eye.

Luo San, Luo San, you used the wrong method before.

There is no use trying to please.

You must be an unruly beast.

Such a transformation requires an opportunity.

The autumn hunt is the perfect opportunity.

What he just said was not a lie, because the real Luo San had indeed changed.

He had lost his obsession with wanting to be recognized by his biological father, and he was merely showing Luo San's truest state.

The Prime Minister will definitely investigate what happened between Luo San and Lu Yuan during the Autumn Hunt, and the more he investigates, the more he will be convinced of Luo San's transformation.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Prime Minister will not kill himself tonight.

So, this is a big gamble.

"Let him go."

The Prime Minister spoke.

Xun Qi called out in disbelief: "Godfather!"

Lu Yuan clenched his fists.

Step one, win the bet!

The secret guard put away his sword.

Lu Yuan stood up, laughed coldly, turned around and left.

Shangguan Ling said with a click of his tongue: "So arrogant?"

Xun Qi looked at the other person's receding back and couldn't help but frowned.

He always felt that Luo San's identity was not simple. Not only did his adoptive father give him such an important task of framing the Chu family, but he also tolerated him so much.

My adoptive father was willing to kill even Lu Yuan.

You know, Lu Yuan is the adopted son that his adoptive father is most satisfied with.

Could it be that Luo San's status in his adoptive father's mind is higher than those of his adopted sons?

Lu Yuan must have discovered something, which is why he tried to sow discord between Luo San and his adoptive father.

Lu Yuan, have you seized the initiative again?

Why... am I always one step behind you?

Prime Minister Xun ordered the secret guards, "Go and find out what happened to Luo San during the autumn hunt."

"Yes!"

The secret guard received the order.

The Prime Minister stood up and left the study.

Xun Qi and Shangguan Linggong saw him off.

"Was Luo San so arrogant before?"

Shangguan Ling asked Xun Qi.

Xun Qi shook his head: "I don't have much contact with Luo San."

If you think about it carefully, Luo San has always been very mysterious. He is good at disguise and often changes the identities of his staff and retainers, making it impossible for people to recognize who he is.

But based on Xun Qi's observation of all the confidants around his adoptive father, except Chen Long who dared to ignore the Prime Minister, even Lu Yuan was respectful to his adoptive father before they completely broke off relations.

Shangguan Ling touched his chin and said, "This Luo San has a story!"

Luo San now lives in a small courtyard on the west side of the prime minister's residence.

Lu Yuan had lived in the prime minister's residence for many years, and during the years when the prime minister was away from the capital, he was the one who arranged people to take care of the residence. Therefore, when Luo San mentioned his own courtyard, he immediately understood.

He came to the yard with ease.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Ling chased after him.

"Luo San!"

Shangguan Ling called him.

Lu Yuan stopped, turned around and asked indifferently, "Jinyiwei Commander, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Shangguan Ling looked at him carefully: "Really, really like him!"

Lu Yuan said: "It's okay, I'll go in first."

"Hey - don't go!" Shangguan Ling reached out and grabbed his arm.

Lu Yuan nearly slapped him to death, but remembering that he was now Luo San, he gently held back.

Shangguan Ling looked around and whispered, "Is the Grand Commander really dead?"

Lu Yuan said perfunctorily: "Dead."

Shangguan Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! My Spring Breeze Painting is still hidden with him! Who can I ask for it if he dies?"

Lu Yuan: “…”

Lu Yuan resisted the urge to kill Shangguan Ling, and felt that his cultivation had reached a new level.

After sending Shangguan Ling away, Lu Yuan finally "returned" to his own courtyard.

The first thing he did was to ask the servants to replace the mattress and quilt on the bed with new ones.

Luo San probably had some authority in the eyes of the servants, so they changed seats swiftly and asked him if he wanted any midnight snack, saying that Shaodaozi had just arrived in the mansion.

Luo San turned out to be an alcoholic.

Lu Yuan asked for a jar.

He didn't drink it, but poured some on his clothes.

Then he lay down on the newly changed bed and began to think about what to do next.

He safely entered the prime minister's residence as Luo San, and successfully caused the prime minister to re-examine "himself", which meant that as long as he was not exposed, his life would not be in danger in the short term.

But the Prime Minister is definitely not someone who can be easily fooled. The longer you stay with him, the greater the possibility of being exposed.

He must find evidence of the prime minister's guilt before that.

Luo San told him that there was a secret room in the Prime Minister's residence, and he had accidentally entered it once when he was just brought back to the Prime Minister's residence by the Prime Minister.

He was still young and ignorant at that time, and he really didn't mean it.

If it was intentional, he would have died long ago.

Unfortunately, it was the middle of the night and he was sick, so he didn't remember where the secret room was.

The only thing that is certain is that there is enough evidence in the secret room to bring down the Prime Minister.

Luo San can testify against the Prime Minister, but if there are only witnesses, the Prime Minister cannot be brought to justice.

Only when there is both human and material evidence can the prime minister's guilt be thoroughly proven.

He had a second purpose in sneaking into the prime minister's residence, which was to find out the whereabouts of the merchant's bloodline.

crunch--

As my thoughts were racing, the window frame was pushed open.

A furtive figure crept in and tiptoed to the bedside.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes.

The other party used the Embroidered Spring Knife to lift open the curtain, squinted at the "sleeping" Lu Yuan, slowly stretched out his claws, and grabbed the quilt on Lu Yuan.

Tucked the quilt into Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes.

Meng Qianqian, who was wearing a nightgown, was startled: "Husband, you are not asleep yet?"

Lu Yuan: "I was asleep, but you woke me up."

"Ah..." Meng Qianqian blinked, "I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Are you in any danger?"

Lu Yuan sat up and said, "You also know that this is the Prime Minister's residence. You broke in in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Meng Qianqian said nonchalantly: "If I'm discovered, I'll run away. Anyway, I have Chen Long as my accomplice..."

Lu Yuan's eyes were sharp.

Meng Qianqian changed her words in a second: "And you, my husband!"

Lu Yuan asked coldly: "Have you met Chen Long?"

Meng Qianqian swore to the heavens: "No, no, I came to find my husband first."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly.

Meng Qianqian sniffed him and said, "Husband, have you been drinking?"

Just as Lu Yuan was about to speak, a delicate voice came from outside the door: "Third Master, the snacks are here."
