Chapter 116 (One Hundred and Sixteen) Doubts
"Ah——" Liu Qimei screamed and woke up sweating profusely.
The maids rushed over immediately, lit lamps and wiped the queen's sweat. They knew that the queen had a nightmare, so they comforted her. The queen couldn't sleep anymore and wanted to get up immediately to visit King Jingyin's palace. As soon as she walked outside, she heard the footsteps of many people over there, and she was even more frightened.
"Did you find it?"
"No!"
"They shouldn't escape here, right?"
"Just do it if Mr. Lu asks you to do so. Why are you talking so much?!"
Liu Qimei heard the conversation between these people and felt that they were looking for someone and didn't know what happened.
"It's strange, we still haven't found them. Where did these two people escape to?" Lu Juefeng said.
When the queen heard that it was Lu Juefeng's voice, she felt relieved and immediately sent someone to call him over for questioning alone.
Lu Juefeng reported to Liu Qimei the entire story of how Sun Guye and his men besieged Yin Ruchen with a "preliminary arrest warrant" and Yan Moying appeared and escaped over the wall with Yin Ruchen.
Liu Qimei was thoughtful, then thought of the dream she had just had, and suddenly lowered her voice and asked Lu Juefeng: "You sent people to do the flying needles and arsenic, right?"
"Of course not! How dare Wei Chen do anything other than what is required? If Yin Ruchen is killed like that before His Majesty gets the third treatment, what will happen to His Majesty's body? Even if Wei Chen wants to vent his anger for the Queen, he will not You will ignore your majesty!" Lu Juefeng replied.
"Really?" Liu Qimei's slightly suspicious eyes made Lu Juefeng a little anxious.
"It's absolutely true! I swear to God right now, if I let my subordinates do anything other than the tasks given by the queen, I will die badly!" Lu Juefeng said firmly. "Well, that's good...but...are you sure your men didn't do anything other than what you ordered?" Liu Qimei looked at Lu Juefeng, with a sharpness in her eyes that made others dare not lie to her.
"The subordinate of the Weichen faction is always cautious in doing things and has never made any mistakes so far. He reported to me that he and Yin Ruchen stopped attacking after a few exchanges, and Yin Ruchen did not fight back against him. He also said After he conveyed the message, Yin Ruchen replied to him and left, never doing anything else there again," Lu Juefeng explained.
"What did Yin Ruchen say?" Liu Qimei wanted to know.
"She said: 'I never thought about getting close to His Majesty, you are overthinking.'" Lu Juefeng told Liu Qimei exactly what his subordinates told him.
"Oh?" Liu Qimei asked suspiciously.
Lu Juefeng immediately responded: "You don't have to believe this. Who doesn't know what the consequences will be if you admit that you want to get close to His Majesty in this palace. Even though this Yin Ruchen is from the common people, he is not stupid enough to think that he wants to get close to His Majesty." Tell me your motives!”
"But..." Liu Qimei hesitated and said, "You just said that Yan Moying suddenly appeared at Yin Ruchen's residence, which was shocking. From your description, it seems that this Yin Ruchen has an unusual relationship with Yan Moying?"
"Wei Chen also felt the same way at the time. The two of them really didn't look like ordinary friends..." Lu Juefeng told the truth.
"What does it look like?" Liu Qimei asked.
"Like...like a couple!" Lu Juefeng said.
"I had the same feeling when I listened to your narration just now. That is to say, it is possible that she really has no intentions towards His Majesty? Is it because I am too worried?" Liu Qimei said.
