Chapter 40 You come and I go
Seeing Wang Su lying on the ground, the jailer's face turned pale, he came to his senses and knelt down in front of Lu Xiu. When he knelt down, the jailer and guards also knelt down. Go down.
The jailer almost cried: "Da Sima, Wang Su's case of secretly minting coins has not yet been concluded. If the Lord wants to mention someone again, what should the subordinates do——"
Lu Xiu stood up , put his hands in his sleeves, his eyes were as cold as a layer of frost, forcing him to retract what he had not finished.
He only turned his face slightly, and the guards immediately understood and grabbed the jailer and walked out. As soon as they left, several jailers also lifted up Wang Su and followed them, and the room returned to its previous quietness.
If it weren't for the eye-catching pool of blood on the ground, I would have thought nothing had happened.
Lu Xiu's eyes stopped on her face, "I thought you would care about your old relationship."
The tone was particularly disappointing, as if he had just watched a play. Not even enough.
Liang Han threw away the bloody sword in his hand, "My lord, I may have remembered it wrong. Wang Su and I only have hatred, not love."
"Who said anything about Wang Su?"
Lu Xiu tilted his head and looked at her curiously, his slender eyes were shining, but they were as dark as the deepest night.
"Who are you referring to?"
Liang Huan stood quietly, not only did not feel the pleasure of revenge, but he became more and more uneasy. Did Lu Xiu let her come to Dali Temple Prison just to see how she killed someone for revenge?
Liang Huan didn’t believe it. With the tyrant’s temper, he could only kill Wang Su in a few days, so why bother?
Besides, she just told him that when the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should not show off our courage for a moment, but need to borrow a knife to kill someone.
But after saying this, he turned around and put the knife into her hand. Like a hunter, he has already dug a trap and is standing by with great interest, watching how she falls into it step by step.
The corners of his lips raised: "Of course it's Wang Tingyue."
Liang Han's heart tightened, it turned out that he was waiting for her here!
I didn’t expect that he would still know about it even though I didn’t mention it at all!
Liang Huan squeezed her sleeves and pretended to be relaxed: "To be honest with you, I am indeed familiar with Wang Xiaolang, but this is just a childhood friendship, how can it be compared with the blood feud?
That day in Yulinyuan, when I was serving you as the master, I also said that except for you, other people have nothing to do with me, and I don't care. How can I still have any old feelings! "
Lu Xiu looked at her and nodded slightly: "But how did I hear that Wang Tingyue helped you escape capture that night? Oh, one more thing, you may not know yet, on the day they arrested Wang Su, they found Wang Tingyue in the dungeon of Sikong Mansion. ”
Dungeon?!
Wang Yansheng has a violent nature. He usually uses his status as a legitimate son to find ways to bully him. This time, in order to help him escape, he fell into Wang Yansheng’s hands. He really didn’t dare. Thinking about the torture he would suffer in the dungeon
Liang Huan's heart felt like it was being pinched so hard that she wanted to close her eyes, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Seeing the expected reaction, Lu Xiu narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. He liked to see her being so forbearing and restrained. In such a delicate and slender body, there was a hidden anger that was ready to explode, just like surging under the calm water. undercurrent.
Such a contradiction yet so consistent, Lu Xiu slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Thinking about it this way, Prime Minister Cao took over the Sikong Mansion and saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died in the dungeon! ”
Yes, wasn’t that why you desperately wanted Cao Xiang to take action that day?
Liang Huan said calmly: "Whether he can be saved or not is another matter. His death is only a day early or a day late. Wang Su's private coining is tantamount to conspiracy. He and his family are all He was to be executed in the city to serve as a warning. Since he was lynched, it would be better to die early to avoid suffering again than to live for another day!”
Lu Xiu pretended to be surprised: “At any rate, he has been! How can I be so ruthless to help you escape?" Liang Huan raised her eyes to meet his gaze and said in a cold voice: "Have you forgotten, sir? I put my life in your hands just for revenge. Such a desperado. How can he be a sentimental person?”
"But it's different now. Your revenge has been avenged, Wang Su is dead!" He looked at her and smiled slightly, but this smile was like the cold wind on a rainy night, chilling his heart.
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten again. I once said that I know a little bit about medical skills. If the sword is moved an inch to the side, he will definitely die. But now, he is just comatose due to excessive blood loss, but his life and death are really determined by fate. "
Liang Huan lowered his eyes: "Didn't you see it too? Otherwise, why would you order someone to check?"
Lu Xiu was speechless, only raising his eyebrows and taking a closer look. Holding her.
Silence is default.
Looking at it, he almost smiled: "Don't you mean ruthless? Why are you showing mercy?"
He thought he was taking Wang Tingyue into consideration, so he didn't kill Wang Su. Hand?
Liang Huan shook his head: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Since I serve you as my master, revenge is important, and your safety is equally important. The reason why I didn't kill him immediately was not for others, but just for your sake."
Lu Xiu was surprised: "For me?"
Liang Huan ignored the sarcasm in his eyes and said calmly: "I don't hide some things from you, sir. At the Peach Blossom Banquet, I promised to help Liang Jiao because I was sure that Wang Su would make things difficult for his uncle about the marriage. He is a man who will retaliate for his anger. I wanted to please you in public. It makes him feel even more embarrassed, and he will definitely look for an opportunity to humiliate me.
The birthday banquet is the best opportunity! I heard that Cao Jun will come to celebrate his birthday. The Cao family and the Wang family had some grudges in the past, but they took advantage of this opportunity. It’s not smart to use Shou’s name to secretly search for clues about Wang Su’s coinage.”
In his previous life, Cao Jun used this method to find the secret seal. Unfortunately, he didn’t know that Wang Su had an insight into them early on. In order to cooperate with him, he put on a play. After many twists and turns, the secret seal he obtained was fake. Instead, he was accused of framing an important minister and intending to commit rebellion.
Liang Huan continued: "In order to cater to Wang Su, Zhaoheng deliberately tampered with me while I was dancing. I took advantage of the situation and took this opportunity to remind Cao Jun and tell him that I had something he wanted. I'll send it over later."
Lu Xiu sat back and frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Liang Huan smiled: "Didn't your Excellency ask me why I didn't find the Lu family when I got strong evidence, but handed it over to the Cao family instead?
Now, the answer to not killing Wang Su is the same. I don't want to let Lu because of my own selfish desires. Wang Su is in danger and has implicated your lord.
Wang Su is already facing death. I can wait, but if I really kill him, how will your lord explain it to me when I return to the palace soon? "
Liang Han could see clearly that he was wearing official uniform. It was early in the morning, and there was no other possibility except to come here under the emperor's order.
Lu Xiu looked at her with an imperceptible smile: "Is there more?"
"I also know that your lord ordered you to come here specifically to check because you have doubts about Cao. In this case, I can't kill him, otherwise your lord will be jealous of you."
Lu Xiu smiled: "You are loyal to me."
Liang Huan's eyelashes trembled: "Of course, you are my protector, and I hope you are better than anyone else!"
