After Lu Jiuan left Tang Mansion, the anger in his heart was blown away by the hot wind outside, and he calmed down when his mind came to his senses.
He looked down at the red mark on his palm and couldn't help but frown. He shouldn't be so irritable.
"Erlangjun, are things going well?" Following him was Lu Chongyuan's confidant named Shuo Shan.
Shuoshan is not a member of the Lu family, but an orphan that Lu Chongyuan picked up from a zoo when he was young. He has been with Lu Chongyuan for decades and is loyal to him. He has also been helping the Lu family with some secret things over the years. The family was trapped, Lu Qin was exiled, and Lu Zhaowen was about to be executed, so Lu Chongyuan recalled Shuo Shan back to the capital.
Lu Jiuan knew Shuoshan's identity and treated him with great respect: "Xiao Yan must have been seriously injured."
"That eunuch is used to making plays." Shuo Shan said.
Lu Jiu'an shook his head: "Even if he makes a show, there is no way he can hide this from Imperial Doctor Zuo."
Imperial Physician Sun had some interactions with Mrs. Rong Guo, and he might help Xiao Yan cover up, but Imperial Physician Zuo was from the Lu family, and he would definitely not help Xiao Yan stage a show.
"The Imperial Physician Zuo looked at him and said that his pulse was weak and his internal organs were damaged, so he had to stay in bed for rest. Moreover, I had just noticed Xiao Yan's condition. When he talked to people, he was short of energy and his face was bloodless, and from the time I entered he I left, and even when he was angry, he never moved an inch."
Lu Jiu'an was different from other descendants of the Lu family. Lu Chongyuan intended for him to become a dark chess player and take over the dark network in the hands of the Lu family. He had naturally learned martial arts, so he knew what a person with damaged internal organs would look like.
"Uncle Shan, Xiao Yan's injury must be real, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hide it from Your Majesty."
Shuo Shan's face turned gloomy when he heard this: "I originally thought that if he cheated, I would be able to make up for it, but I didn't expect that this eunuch would actually go out of his way to plot against the second master!"
Lu Jiuan didn't look too good either. He clenched his fists, and the palms hidden in his sleeves felt a little tingly.
"I'm afraid there are no mistakes in what happened to Xiao Yan. His Majesty is indebted to him right now. He knows that he has no time to care about anything else after a month of recuperation, but he has no intention of taking away the power of the black-armored guard in his hands, and he also wants to seize the capital. He was also given the right to mobilize the Fourth Suburban Battalion. If Grand Master Liang and others had not tried their best to stop him, Xiao Yan might have been able to take advantage of this rescue to reach a higher level."
"Although he has been prevented from gaining military power now, His Majesty is even more eager to compensate him. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to move him. A slight mistake will remind His Majesty of the assassination, and the gains may outweigh the losses. "
When Lu Jiuan spoke slowly, his eyes were full of darkness: "And it's not just Xiao Yan, we have always underestimated Song Tangning. We thought she was just the knife in Xiao Yan's hand to deal with the Lu family, but today we found out that before The several times the Lu family suffered losses were probably her fault."
Shuo Shan frowned when he heard this: "Song Tangning?"
Lu Jiu'an said in a deep voice: "She is an extraordinary woman, deep-minded and extremely cunning, and there is a bit of Xiao Yan in her."
Her words and deeds may seem docile, but in fact, she must retaliate, and she must pay attention to every detail when confronting others. She is obviously no longer than Ji's age, but she can calculate people's hearts easily. Rather than saying that she is the knife in Xiao Yan's hand, it is better to say that she is just like Xiao Yan. It is a sharp blade with malicious intentions towards the Lu family.
A little carelessness will cause the Lu family to suffer a bloody blow.
"I previously thought that my father took action because of Xiao Yan, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid the problem lies with Song Tangning."
Shuoshan's expression darkened after hearing Lu Jiu'an's words: "But you want me..."
There was a look of obliteration on his face. The words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.
Xiao Yan couldn't be moved, but it was not difficult to kill a little girl.
Lu Jiu'an said quickly: "Uncle, please don't do it. Although Song Tangning has no clan protection, he is in His Majesty's eyes. Moreover, Xiao Yan protects his shortcomings. Behind her are Mrs. Rongguo, the Gu family of Zuozhou, and Rong Sheng." Now is the time for the academy to attract attention, and if she really touches her, she might get into big trouble."
The Qing Dynasty faction in the court, headed by Cao Dejiang, all praise Song Tangning very much. In addition, Rongsheng Academy is in full swing, and everyone in the capital is looking at the admissions of that academy. Lu Qin also "secretly harmed" Song Tangning in Previously, if something happened to Song Tangning at this time, it would undoubtedly stir up a hornet's nest.
Shuo Shan frowned when he heard this: "Then just leave it like this?"
"Of course not. Just because we can't move her doesn't mean others can't."
Seeing Shuo Shan raise his eyes to look at him, Lu Jiu'an said: "She is such a charming girl, and she holds Rongsheng Academy in her hand. There is always a shortage of ambitious and greedy people in the capital. When I just entered, I had already noticed four people. The prince treats her unusually..."
Shuo Shan: "Er Langjun is saying that the fourth prince wants to recruit Song Tangning?"
"Nine times out of ten."
Lu Jiuan said in a deep voice: "The queen and her son broke up with the Lu family, and without the help from the aristocratic family, they must find someone else to make up for the shortage in the court. During this period, Xiao Yan went in and out of Fengxi Palace several times. The fourth prince returned today. I came here specifically to visit, I’m afraid there might have been a connection between them.”
"Xiao Yan is an eunuch, and it is difficult to handle without relatives or reasons. But Song Tangning is different. If he can bring her into the fourth prince's backyard, he will not only get Xiao Yan's help, but also Rongsheng Academy in her hands. Even the Gu family in Zuozhou is afraid They will also lean toward the queen and her son."
only……
Lu Jiuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had met Song Tangning and probably knew Xiao Yan's temperament. They definitely looked down on the disfigured and lame fourth prince.
What's more, the fourth prince has already been married, and the fourth prince's concubine's mother-in-law has military power in her hands, and it is absolutely impossible for the fourth prince to give up.
Then he could only let Song Tangning marry him as his concubine.
But, is this possible?
Lu Jiu'an lowered his head and glanced at the blood stains on his palms. How could such a smart and shrewd woman treat her as a concubine? Xiao Yan probably wouldn't agree to it, but the fourth prince's attentive appearance just now clearly meant that Song Tangning was determined to win. ".
Although he hasn't been with the Fourth Prince for long, the Lu family knows the Fourth Prince's temperament and behavior better than anyone else. If he wants Song Tangning, he may have to use some other means, and with the Fourth Prince's ability, he may not be able to do it. In other words, the Queen?
What would the queen do under such circumstances?
Lu Jiu'an rubbed his palms, covered them with his sleeves, and said to Shuo Shan: "The queen is very scheming and unscrupulous in her actions. Since she and the fourth prince have their thoughts on Song Tangning, they will definitely not let go easily. , and many people in Beijing covet Rongsheng Academy."
The academy was Song Tangning's foundation and made her famous in the capital, but it was also a hot potato that could possibly ruin Song Tangning.
"Uncle Shan, maybe someone will avenge my father without us taking action."
"We just need to watch quietly and add fuel to the flames if possible."
It will not dirty their hands, but it will also ruin Song Tangning's reputation and avenge today's revenge!
