If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Meng Zhi looked at Lu Heng, whose expression was ferocious and furious. Thinking of how he had let the princess down, his eyes became even colder.

"The person is locked up outside the city. If the prince consort wants to see him, he may have to wait until tomorrow."

Lu Heng looked at him coldly.

"I order you to bring the person here immediately!"

Meng Zhi chuckled, "Prince consort, I only follow the princess's orders."

He is the chief guard of the princess, and he got the position of the princess's consort because of the princess. What right does he have to give orders to himself?

Lu Heng was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He had been a favored child since childhood and had never been looked down upon like this.

Anger, resentment, unwillingness, all the emotions were mixed up in his chest.

It almost took his breath away.

The Lu Heng in front of him was no longer as handsome and charming as he was when the top scholar was paraded through the streets.

"Lord Meng, since the prince consort is so anxious, go and bring the person over." Chu Zhi spoke.

Meng Zhi looked back and saw Chu Zhi pointing her chin towards the inner room, and he knew that this was the princess's intention.

"Okay, I'll give the order right away." Meng Zhi said.

Lu Heng gave Meng Zhi a cold look, then turned and left.

"Miss Chu Zhi, he kept a mistress behind the princess' back, and you're just going to let him go?" Meng Zhi asked unwillingly.

"Your Highness still needs him." Chu Zhi said lightly.

Meng Zhi clenched his fists. He didn't know what had happened to the princess. He only knew that she had a serious illness and was no longer the same.

He used to be a small guard beside Princess Guangning, and later the princess recommended him to join the Imperial Guard. This time, the emperor specially appointed him as the princess's chief guard, and ordered him to protect the princess at all times and in all places.

"I'll go see the princess." Chu Zhi said.

In the room, Guangning lay straight on the bed, her eyes wide open, staring upwards.

"Chu Zhi, the prince consort has a mistress and they gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but I'm not sad at all. This is not right." Guangning said softly.

She should be angry, jealous, and want to kill that woman.

But her emotions seemed to disappear inexplicably.

She even felt a little disgusted, disgusted with everything.

Chu Zhi was shocked, knowing that this was the result of the treatment. Before, the fortune teller from the Pacification Office hypnotized the princess and said that forcing her to forget that incident would be harmful to her.

I didn't see the problem before, but now it's revealed.

"When I saw Lu Heng being stabbed by an assassin that day, several scenes emerged in my mind." Guangning raised his eyes and looked at Chu Zhi.

"Chu Zhi, tell me, have I also encountered an assassin?"

"Princess, how could that be?" Chu Zhi tucked the corner of the quilt for her, "You are so scared that you are imagining all sorts of things."

Guangning rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, thinking about it gives me a headache."

"Send someone to bring Song's daughter here," she said.

"I can't possibly let my concubine into the house, but the child she gave birth to is Lu Heng's only bloodline. Send someone to bring him back, and I'll raise him."

Chu Zhi hurriedly responded in a low voice, "I will send someone to find the child right away."

"That concubine is not simple." Guangning said with his eyes lowered.

"I had the pleasure boat burned down, but she was still alive and gave birth to a child. Someone must have been helping her behind the scenes."

"Song was hidden in the family temple by Madam Lu. If the temple hadn't caught fire..." Chu Zhi gritted her teeth in hatred.

I don't know what Mrs. Lu was thinking. She actually helped her son hide his mistress. What did she want to do if she was not discovered?

But it was precisely because Song Xiuzhi was discovered that the Imperial Concubine began to suspect that the humiliation of Princess Guangning was related to Song Xiuzhi and Madam Lu.

Just find a little evidence.

There was no hope for their survival for either of them.

"Now that her children have been brought back, she doesn't have to live anymore," Guangning said.

Chu Zhi agreed with a smile.

Guangning finally fell asleep peacefully.

……

……

Lu Heng sat in the study for an hour, waiting until his drunkenness wore off.

My thoughts are becoming clearer and clearer.

He carefully recalled what Chu Zhi had just said over and over again.

He just felt that Concubine Yao's murderous intention towards him was all mixed in her words.

She was warning him.

It is easy to kill him. His only value now is to be a dog to amuse the princess.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Lu Heng's back.

He didn't expect that Song Xiuzhi was still alive and pregnant with his child.

Finally, the people who were locked outside the city by Meng Zhi came.

When Lu Heng asked, he found out that he was sent by his mother to tell him about Song Xiuzhi.

This man is called Zheng Jin. He is the confidant that Madam Lu brought from the Bai family. He did many dirty things for Madam Lu.

Lu Heng had never seen him before.

"Madam plans to keep the child, but as for the adult... I don't know how the young master wants to deal with him." The visitor had been locked up for a few days and was unaware that the situation in the capital had changed again.

"What else does mother want you to do?" Lu Heng asked.

"to be frank!"

"Madam asked you to be careful of Lu Yuan. If he finds out what Madam did to him, he might take revenge on you..." But he came too late.

Lu Heng's expression changed slightly, "What revenge?"

Zheng Jin told Lu Heng that Mrs. Lu had drugged Lu Yuan and that the matter had now been discovered.

"Since mother had the opportunity to drug him, why did she save Lu Yuan's life?" Lu Heng asked.

If Lu Yuan had died a few years ago, so many things wouldn't have happened.

"My wife also had some concerns at the time." Zheng Jin said.

"Go and kill Lu Yuan. This is what I mean. Go back and tell mother that Lu Yuan must die." Lu Heng said.

"If it weren't for him, my son wouldn't have died young. He was definitely responsible for the fire in the ancestral temple."

"Protect my daughter well and don't let anyone find out. I'll tell you everything after I get back."

Lu Heng made several requests in a row. He looked at Zheng Jin fiercely and said, "How many days have you been detained by Meng Zhi? Didn't he force you to say all these words?"

Zheng Jin shook his head, "No, they thought I was an assassin."

"He's not treating you as an assassin. He just doesn't want me to know the news so quickly." Lu Heng said coldly.

"Go quickly. You must find Song Xiuzhi and her daughter before Princess Guangning does and protect them."

Zheng Jin immediately agreed.

"Come back." Lu Heng called him again, "Does the princess's incident have anything to do with mother?"

"Master, what are you talking about?" Zheng Jin asked doubtfully.

Lu Heng looked at him sharply, "The princess encountered an assassin outside the city before, didn't you know about it?"

Zheng Jin shook his head, "Master, I don't know."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that this matter was also related to his mother.

"I understand. You should return to Beijing immediately and tell my mother what I mean. Let her rest assured that I am doing well in Huainan. Don't let her know that I am injured." Lu Heng said.

Zheng Jin cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Master."

After Zheng Jin left, Meng Zhi, who had been hiding on the roof, landed silently.

Go back and tell Chu Zhi these words.

"The Lu family is such a mess." Chu Zhi frowned.

What was Lu Heng thinking when he wanted to attack Commander Lu?

Can you get close?
