Chapter 334 He Won’t Live Long
Du Liang was originally a staunch supporter of the eldest prince. Song Junhe was able to secretly raise troops thanks to the help provided by Du Liang in terms of silver, money and supplies.
Song Junhe had been disliked by the emperor before, and he was able to extricate himself in time thanks to the emperor's preference and protection for him.
He was also decisive. He immediately cut off contact with Song Junhe after he left the capital. The situation in the court had been changing over the past year, and he had been observing the weight of several princes in the emperor's heart.
Privately, he preferred the Third Prince Song Junhua, but was afraid that he would make the wrong bet again this time, so even though he had already made up his mind, he was still prepared to wait a little longer.
[Well, Prince Jin is indeed a good choice. After all, the dog emperor likes it, and he and Song Junhe grew up fighting each other. ]
[But if you choose sides now, do you think the emperor is too weak to live for many more years? ]
[It is not wrong to think so. The emperor is just weak right now. He is drinking poison to quench his thirst. He has to take the aphrodisiac. But it won't work if he takes it. Tsk.]
emperor:"……"
How come he doesn't know that he won't live for many years!
All the doubts and tentativeness in my heart turned into anger and panic because of this sentence.
How could this guy say he wouldn't live for more years?
Can that system even see these?
His expression changed again and again, and he no longer cared to ask about the details of today and what Du Liang had done over the years.
Lu Xinran secretly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and when she saw that his face was as dark as if he had been poisoned, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the emperor was suspicious and his mind was changeable, so he was always attracted by her next words.
Then she turned around and forgot what she had said before. Of course, it can’t be said that she had forgotten, but she just forgot to explore it at this moment, and this was enough for her.
She secretly tugged at Song Junyan's sleeve, wanting to ask him if he needed to continue flipping through Du Liang's booklet.
Song Junyan glanced at the emperor who was already beginning to be frightened, and drew the word "no" on her palm with his finger.
Given the emperor's current state of mind, even if he were to go over in detail all that Du Liang had done over the years, he would probably not be in the mood to listen.
Lu Xinran secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she no longer needed her father Du Liang's booklet.
I can't say too much key information, but I can't say nothing either, and I have to grab the emperor's attention... It's so difficult.
The emperor felt uncomfortable all over his body, especially somewhere in his lower body. Thinking of what Lu Xinran said about taking her pill, he had to take it or not, a surge of evil fire surged towards his lower body.
At this moment, he just wanted to go to the harem to find a concubine and try again whether he could still show his virility.
The couple watched him quickly leave Wenhua Hall, and then stood up from the ground together.
"Can we go home now?"
"Let's go."
If the emperor has new ideas in the future, given his current unscrupulous way of doing things, he will summon them into the palace again.
Under Du Liang's astonished gaze, the two of them walked away hand in hand.
Du Liang slumped on the ground, looking at the bluestone slabs in a daze. They were gone...what should he do?
If the emperor comes back later, won’t he have to face the emperor’s wrath alone?
The two of them left Wenhua Hall and quickly left the palace, got on the carriage and returned to Prince Wei's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard that Lu Xinlan came here. Lu Xinran was surprised and immediately left Song Junyan and ran to the main courtyard to look for someone.
"Why is my sister here?" Lu Xinran asked, and a thought suddenly came to her mind: "But is Liu looking for trouble with you again?"
Lu Xinlan's face darkened. Thinking that it would be difficult to hide what happened in the mansion from her, she picked out the key points and told them again.
"This old thing! She's been looking for trouble with you!"
They were in such a dangerous situation in Ruyi Tower today. Any normal person would have been concerned, but Liu actually took the opportunity to attack her!
Why didn’t I realize that this person was so narrow-minded before we got married?
"She has been in charge of the Tang family for many years. Her mother-in-law is soft and easy to control. Mr. Tang has been working in the Dali Temple all year round and rarely returns home. Other people in the mansion respect her in every way. She hasn't had anyone disobey her like this for a long time."
"You don't want to have a child right after you get married. Is this considered disobeying her? Who the hell is she? You are the only one who can risk your life for the descendants of the Tang family?"
Lu Xinran became even angrier, and rolled up his sleeves to go to the Tang Mansion to fight with Liu.
Lu Xinlan hurriedly pulled her along: "This matter is not urgent, and there is no need to talk about it. Right now, it is more important to solve Yunsong's troubles."
"But Liu is a person who cannot bear being bullied. If you come out like this and threaten to divorce me, do you think she will go to the Lu Mansion and complain to Grandmother?"
When Lu Xinran thought about how after careful selection she still chose such a crappy family for her good sister, she felt guilty and distressed.
Lu Xinlan, on the other hand, didn't care. "She will go, and grandma won't make things difficult for you and me. Don't worry, grandma is no longer the old lady of the Lu Mansion. If Liu goes... I'm afraid she will scold grandma and mother."
Considering Pei's sly way of speaking and Zhao's original intention to compete with Liu, if Liu really went to Lu's house, she would be furious.
And if she really made a scene at the Lu residence, then the marriage would be settled with divorce.
Life is but a few short years, and she doesn't want to waste the rest of her life entangled with such a mother-in-law.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, Lu Xinran was still worried, but he changed the subject just in time when Song Junyan came in.
"I have already sent a message to the Yun family, asking them to find a chance to leave the capital today, put everything in the capital aside for the time being, and find a safe place to hide first. My uncle has already replied to my message, saying that he will take his family out of the capital today."
"Great!"
Lu Xinran originally wanted to send a message to the Yun family, but after she came back, she had been looking for Yun Song's flaws, and was suddenly summoned to the palace by the emperor, so she had no time to send a letter to the Yun family.
As long as the Yun family can escape the disaster temporarily, even if Yunsong's identity can no longer be concealed in the next few days, they will not have to worry about their lives for the time being.
She recounted in detail what had just happened in the palace, especially the emperor's thoughts.
"The emperor's body is weaker than the last time I entered the palace. He must have secretly taken the aphrodisiac again."
Did you steal it again?
Lu Xinlan and Song Junyan both looked solemn upon hearing this.
"Wouldn't that mean it would be difficult to maintain for several years?"
"Yes, unless he can completely stop thinking about it and concentrate on recuperating, otherwise, ah."
Although Lu Xinran didn't understand what the imperial physician meant by that long paragraph about pathology, she could feel his helplessness and the emperor's growing madness.
"We have to prepare early."
