However, when the old lady was about to go down the mountain, the second lady immediately asked her personal maid to look for Lu Linglong. However, she did not find her, but instead brought back the news that Lu Linglong had been captured by the Jinyiwei.

The second wife was horrified: "Say it again! Who captured Linglong?"

"Jin, Jinyiwei!" the maid replied fearfully, "And the eldest young master's wife and her maid Tan'er, they were also captured."

Master Lu frowned and asked, "Why did the Jinyiwei arrest Qianqian and the others? Did you make a mistake?"

The maid choked up and said, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

Master Lu asked hurriedly: "Where is the person?"

The maid raised her hand and pointed: "Just...just left the temple!"

Master Lu hurried after him, and soon came back with a serious look on his face.

"how?"

The second lady asked anxiously.

Master Lu sighed, "It was the Imperial Guards. The Grand Commander was attacked in the temple, and Linglong and Qianqian happened to be nearby. The Imperial Guards suspected that they led the assassin here."

The second lady was surprised: "The Grand Commander is also in the temple?"

Master Lu said, "The child just now... is the daughter of the Governor's Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

The baby that Meng Qianqian held for the entire afternoon... turned out to be Lu Yuan’s daughter?

No wonder that maid was dressed so elegantly; she was obviously a servant, but she dressed no worse than the ladies of wealthy families.

The Second Madam said, "We didn't know she was the daughter of the Lu family... and what does this have to do with Linglong? Linglong didn't hold the child... She left the meditation room because the child was noisy! We should have listened to Linglong and stopped meddling in other people's business! Now look what happened! She was caught as an assassin! And Linglong was implicated! Why does she always cause trouble for the family?"

Mother Lu didn't like what she heard, so she asked sternly, "How did Qianqian implicate Linglong? I think Linglong followed her on her own, right?"

This is not the first or second time that Lu Linglong likes to find fault with Meng Qianqian.

The second wife retorted: "She provoked the child! She didn't provoke anyone from the Governor's Office, but she could get herself into trouble!"

The old lady said coldly, "That's enough! Buddhism is a peaceful place, what's the point of quarreling? Go back first and think of a solution!"

The second wife whispered: "Mother is afraid that she will be arrested by the people from the Governor's Office..."

Master Lu glared at her.

The old lady was asleep and this incident did not alarm her for the time being. Lu's mother hired a sedan chair outside the temple and carried the old lady down the mountain.

After Lu Xingzhou took Lin Wan'er to meet the young emperor, he immediately went down the mountain. It was only when the Lu family returned home that he realized what had happened after he left.

He is with Lu Lingxiao.

After listening to the servant's report, the father and son fell into deep thought.

Lu Xingzhou said thoughtfully, "The Grand Commander was assassinated not long ago and was seriously injured. Your Majesty thought he was recuperating at home, so he left the palace secretly. I didn't expect that he would be in Hanshan Temple! This man is really cunning! Could it be that... he found out that Your Majesty had summoned Wan'er and deliberately gave our Lu family a warning?"

Lu Lingxiao frowned and said, "Father, are you taking Wan'er to see His Majesty? Doing so will put Wan'er in danger!"

Lu Xingzhou said: "The Lu family will protect her, and His Majesty will also protect her!"

Lu Lingxiao clenched his fist and said, "Your Majesty has not yet taken charge of the government, and every move is restricted by Lu Yuan. I'm afraid Lu Yuan will take action against Wan'er!"

Lu Xingzhou said: "She is useful, Lu Yuan will not kill her."

Lu Lingxiao still disagreed with his father's approach. Although he also hoped to eliminate Lu Yuan as soon as possible for His Majesty, he absolutely did not want to involve Wan'er.

He threw back the covers and stood up.

Lu Xingzhou asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Lu Lingxiao took the clothes and said, "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion."

Before Lu Xingzhou could say anything, Lu Lingxiao had already put on his clothes and went out.

At the door, he met Lin Wan'er who came to visit him.

He was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come? I'm covered in gold wound medicine, which is not good for the fetus."

Lin Wan'er, wearing a veil, said in sign language: The general's injury has not healed yet, why are you so anxious, is it because of the eldest young master's wife's matter?

Lu Lingxiao did not deny it.

Lin Wan'er went on: The innocent are innocent. I think the eldest young lady will be fine. Once the commander-in-chief finds out the truth, he will release her.

The logic is correct, but Lu Lingxiao always feels that something is weird.

Lu Lingxiao shook his head: "You don't know Lu Yuan. He is cruel and merciless, and abuses private punishment. If Meng and Linglong fall into his hands, they will be tortured..."

Lin Wan'er asked: Are you worried about being tortured into confessing?

Lu Lingxiao was stunned.

He hadn't thought about this, he just didn't want the women of the Lu family to be tortured by the people from the Governor's Office.

Lin Wan'er looked into his eyes and gestured: If Lu Yuan let her slander you, would you blame her?

The "she" here naturally refers to Meng Qianqian.

Lu Lingxiao finally realized something was wrong. There were clearly two people who were captured, but she only mentioned Meng Qianqian.

Lu Lingxiao took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Wan'er, I went to save her because she is my wife and I have a responsibility to her."

Lin Wan'er's eyes were red: When you were unconscious, she stayed with you for three days and three nights. Do you really not have any feelings for her?

"She kept me here because..."

It would be fine if we don’t mention this, as Lu Lingxiao will get hurt internally again if we mention it.

But he couldn't explain anything, after all, he also had to save face.

He held Lin Wan'er's hand: "Don't worry, you are the only one in my heart. I will never fall in love with another woman."

Lin Wan'er snuggled gently into his arms and wrote on his palm: General, Wan'er only has you.

Governor's Mansion, Tinglan Garden.

Lu Yuan has woken up and is sitting lazily on the exquisite and luxurious official hat chair.

The imperial physician rebandaged the back of Lu Yuan's hand, looked at the blood on the white cloth, and said to Lu Yuan: "Grand Commander, this is Loulan Sha, one of the three great poisons in Miaojiang. It is extremely poisonous. If you can't detoxify it within three hours, you will die from the poison."

The Jinyiwei commander's face changed drastically: "Then the Grand Commander--"

The imperial physician said, "Fortunately, the Grand Commander was sealed with silver needles, which protected his heart meridian in time and dispersed a lot of toxins. Otherwise, even with this old man's antidote, it would be too late."

Lu Yuan nonchalantly played with the silver needle in his hand: "Go down."

"I am resigning."

After the imperial physician left, the commander of the Jinyiwei wondered, "Mrs. Lu knows medical skills? Does Lu Lingxiao know that his wife is so secretive? Also, why did you save her? She broke in on her own, so if she was killed by mistake, it's just a mistake..."

Lu Yuan raised his eyes calmly: "Have you caught all the assassins? Have you found out the mastermind behind the scenes? Have you had enough of living?"

The commander of the Jinyiwei rushed out of the door: "Yu Zichuan! Where have you been? It's time to interrogate the prisoner!"

In the side room, Tan'er fell asleep lying on a bench.

Lu Linglong woke up once in the middle of the night, and was frightened to learn that she had been captured as an assassin and brought to the Governor's Mansion, and she fainted again.

Meng Qianqian sat quietly in the room, thinking about what happened in the Zen room, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

It's not surprising that Lu Yuan was assassinated. There are so many people who want him dead. He can only blame himself for being unlucky.

Lu Yuan saved her, probably out of Bao Shu's consideration, but he could have pushed her away, so that he could have saved her without getting hurt.

Could it be... that he was testing her?

Test her martial arts, and even... test the poison on himself to test her medical skills.

Meng Qianqian clenched her fingers little by little.

Isn't he afraid that he might be wrong?

What a madman!

Boom, boom...boom.

While thinking, Meng Qianqian heard a very strenuous knock on the door.

Meng Qianqian's eyes moved, and she quickly got up and opened the door.

Baoshu, dressed as a tiger cub, was seen sitting cross-legged on the ground in an extremely handsome pose - with her cute face tilted to the side, her little chin raised proudly, and a small flower in her mouth.

"Wow~"

It seems to be saying, is the baby beautiful tonight?
