Lu Chongyuan didn't believe Xiao Yan's words at all. He also held Emperor An's hand and knew the shady secrets of Emperor An's past.
The Lu family has in-laws all over the family. How dare Emperor An kill all the Lu family? Isn't he afraid that they will kill them all? !
This eunuch must have lied to him!
Lu Chongyuan thought of what he knew and how Emperor An had given in many times before, and he tried his best to stay calm.
"You just want to provoke me and make me admit those unfounded charges. Let me tell you, don't even think about it. I will never believe you. You have no idea about His Majesty's friendship with the Lu family. He will never do anything like that. The thing about the bird hiding behind the bow..."
"Is it the old friendship, or is it something the Lu family is holding on to, thinking it can shake up His Majesty's throne?"
Bang——
The cell door shook violently, and Lu Chongyuan's face turned pale.
"Or is it Lu Jiu'an who went to King Pingshan's fiefdom early, thinking of inciting King Pingshan to rebel so that your Lu family could change the dynasty and proclaim himself emperor?"
Lu Chongyuan's eyes were full of shock, and the last trace of blood on his lips disappeared.
Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to straighten his sleeves: "It's hard to persuade someone who wants to die. I originally thought that if you could confess your sins honestly and bring out what Lu Jiu'an did, I might be able to intercede with Your Majesty on behalf of the female members of the Lu family. But who would have thought that at this time, you would still want to blackmail His Majesty with the information in your hand."
"My trip was really wasted."
His expression turned cold, and he lost the leisurely expression he had when talking to Lu Chongyuan just now.
"Your Majesty has an edict. Lu Chongyuan deceived the emperor, repeatedly violated imperial prohibitions, and even collaborated with King Pingshan to plot rebellion. His crime is unforgivable."
"In memory of his assisting service, Your Majesty spared his dignity and gave him poisonous wine."
Someone came in with an exquisite wine cup from outside. The wine inside made Lu Chongyuan stumble to the ground. He did not expect that Emperor An actually knew about Lu Jiuan and Pingshan King.
"You can't kill me. Jiu'an is still in the south. If I die, he will raise an army..."
"Clang."
The cell door was opened directly, and the two men carrying drinks walked straight in.
Lu Chongyuan backed away desperately. Seeing the poisoned wine being delivered to him, he no longer had any luck.
Lu Chongyuan said sharply: "How dare you kill me? I am the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor. I saved your majesty's life... uh uh..."
He was caught and the poisoned wine was put to his lips.
Lu Chongyuan's face turned pale and panicked: "Xie Tianyong, Xie Tianyong, you are crossing the river and destroying the bridge. Xiao Yan, you asked Xie Tianyong to come to see me. If it weren't for the Lu family, how could he ascend to the throne? If it weren't for me, he would be just the meanest prince."
"He forgot how he asked the Lu family to help him plot against Mrs. Ru..."
Click!
His jaw was crushed, and the words in Lu Chongyuan's mouth were suddenly cut off. The person who delivered the wine stepped on Lu Chongyuan's legs and wrists, and grabbed the hair of Lu Chongyuan, who screamed in pain, forcing him to raise his head.
All the poisonous wine was poured into Lu Chongyuan's mouth, which could barely close. He desperately tried to push it out with his tongue, but his throat was firmly pressed and he was forced to swallow it.
Within a moment, severe cramping pain arose, and Lu Chongyuan fell to the ground with a bang, his body twitching.
He kept vomiting blood from his mouth that he couldn't close, and his screams escaped from his throat, which seemed particularly breathtaking in the dark cell.
Lu Chongyuan's face gradually turned purple due to the distortion, and there was blood on the ground.
The screams in his throat became weaker and weaker, and after a long time, Lu Chongyuan fell to the ground in an extremely twisted posture, motionless.
"Lu Chongyuan committed suicide out of fear of crime and will keep everyone in the prison under guard tonight."
"Yes, Lord Overlord."
Xiao Yan turned around and walked out without even looking at Lu Chongyuan who was lying in the prison. After he left, the two people who delivered the wine also packed their things and planned to leave.
But when one of them arrived in front of the cell door, he found that the other person was still behind him and had not followed.
"Cen Liang, what are you doing?"
The man named Cen Liang quickly withdrew his hand to test Lu Chongyuan's breath: "It's nothing, it's just that the blood was accidentally spattered just now, it's a bit disgusting."
The man outside immediately laughed: "What's so disgusting about a little blood? Hurry up, Commander Cang and the Governor still have something to explain."
"coming."
The two of them walked out of the cell door quickly.
All the people on duty in the prison tonight were put under guard by Cang Lang and his men. There was no one in the dark cell. After a while, a figure came out from the dark corner.
"Girl, I will stay here, you only have time for two cups of tea."
Tang Ning, wrapped in a cloak, said "hmm" in a low voice and walked quickly towards the cell door.
The prison smelled fishy and was full of messes. Tang Ning ignored the signs of struggle on the ground and walked straight to Lu Chongyuan, who had expired.
She grabbed the porcelain bottle she took out from her sleeve, poured out two pills, and stuffed what Madam Qin had prepared earlier directly into Lu Chongyuan's mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and within a moment, Lu Chongyuan, who had just lost his breath, suddenly trembled, his throat came out with a rough gasp, and he actually recovered.
Lu Chongyuan still felt severe pain in his abdomen, his face was still purple, and the poison even seeped into his ears and nose bit by bit.
The despair of struggling to die just now made him full of panic. When he saw Song Tangning so close at hand, Lu Chongyuan's eyes shrank even more, as if he wanted to speak, but his crushed jaw made him say nothing.
Tang Ning lowered her eyes and looked at him: "There is no cure for the poisonous wine given by Emperor An, and what I feed you can only support you for a little while."
"After your death, Emperor An will definitely wipe out the roots to protect Zhou Quan. No one in the Lu family will survive. But if you are willing to leave a confession of guilt for what you did with Emperor An back then, my brother and I can promise to protect you Lu." The lives of the married women of the family and other distant relatives of the Lu family besides your three clans."
Lu Chongyuan's eyes widened and he gasped for breath. He endured the pain of the knife in his abdomen and looked at Tang Ning.
"Xiao..."
He tried his best and spat out a vague word "Xiao".
Tang Ning seemed to know what he wanted to ask: "The Lu family is not innocent to my brother. Now he is to blame for his own fate. If you think that my brother is vicious, you should first ask the thousands of people in the He family back then why you and Emperor An were connected. None of the children would be let go."
Lu Chongyuan lay on the ground with trembling eyes.
He family...
It turns out to be the He family!
Xiao Yan is actually from the He family! !
He said why Xiao Yan would bite the Lu family and not let him go. It was obvious that being a eunuch and fighting with the aristocratic family had no benefit to him. It turned out to be because of the He family. It was actually because of the He family!
Seeing Lu Chongyuan's eyes darkened, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, and his face even more ferocious. He didn't know whether he regretted why he didn't kill the He family and left such trouble, or why he didn't find out earlier that Xiao Yan was actually related to the He family. Let him push himself to this point.
Tang Ning ignored what Lu Chongyuan was thinking and just said:
"You only have time for a cup of tea, and then you will be poisoned and die. Emperor An's people will personally check your body. Even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, they can't save you."
"Leave a confession, protect the Lu family's blood, and send the treacherous Emperor An to be buried with you, or drag everyone in the Lu family to die with you, it's your choice."
