Yu Wenjue looked sad when he met the gaze he met.
The smile that had been on my lips since I woke up in the morning gradually dissipated.
While sighing, he took Liang Huan's hand. "I didn't do it."
Liang Huan was startled and wanted to explain: "I——"
"No need to say it, I understand everything." Yu Wenjue interrupted nonchalantly, raising his hand to tuck the hanging hair behind her ears.
Liang Huan felt uncomfortable. She knew that that moment of doubt was extremely hurtful.
However, he just told himself last night that he had other plans. If he heard such news today, how could he not be reminded of him?
It is true that he is Lu Xiu, but he is indeed that Grand Master Lu.
When she decided to come to Yuezhou that day, she knew what she was about to face.
Likewise, it was also because of this that she thought about leaving.
The problem is not with Yu Wenjue, but with her.
Liang Huan lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry."
Yu Wenjue sighed, regardless of the presence of outsiders, and gently took her into his arms. "Wanwan, we are husband and wife, why do we need to be so open-minded?"
Liang Huan didn't understand why. Just as he was about to say more, someone announced outside the door that it was the Yuezhou governor who wanted to see him.
Yu Wenjue let go of his hand and sighed: "Don't worry, I will send someone to check."
Liang Huan watched his figure disappear from the door, and she naturally used the breakfast for herself.
Even the things I like to eat on weekdays can't taste the slightest bit.
Liang Huan took a few sips hastily, then put down his chopsticks and went to Yao Lu.
After all, she didn't come to Yuezhou just to feel sad about spring and autumn.
*
The valley is cold and cold, and the temple is quiet.
The autumn wind was slightly cold when I woke up in the morning, gently blowing the bamboo forest that was no longer green and lush. The dense and sparse bamboo leaves rustled. From time to time, scattered dead leaves fell, adding a bit of desolation to the peaceful scenery. .
Lu Wan stood leaning against the window. In this Yuetai Temple, the only sound of chanting day after day has never changed, just like the day he first came.
She stood on tiptoes, trying to look at the end of the bamboo forest.
Unfortunately, the end of the bamboo forest is still a bamboo forest...
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, which seemed extremely clear in this empty room.
"Toffee."
The person knelt down a few steps away.
Being disturbed, Lu Wanying frowned and looked back impatiently. It was Ruizhu and an unfamiliar face.
Her cool gaze swept across the face of the passerby. "How?"
"...Man, he ran away."
"What? Ran away?"
"Yes." The person lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice.
"Not even the palace man was caught?"
"Yes..."
Lu Wan smiled angrily: "How dare you say yes to me if you are really good at it? I don't know what my brother is doing by raising waste like you!"
Ruizhu took a look and said carefully: "There are many guards in the palace, and even they have to work hard to get in. How could this Liang family disappear out of thin air? This is really unfathomable. You said, if it weren't for the help of With the strength of others, how could it be possible with her alone? When I think about it, I’m afraid——”
Lu Wan greeted her with cold eyes: "I'm afraid the Peony Seal is in her hand, so she must have secretly used Lu's secret power."
Ruizhu watched silently and said nothing.
Lu Wanying thought carefully for a moment, but still felt something was wrong.
"Earlier, I thought she was trying to take back the position of Queen Mother by sabotaging my good deeds. Who would have thought that she would actually give up the throne to Meng. But if not for power, what else did she want? Is she really just trying to stop me from killing Gao Hao? She could have killed me, but she kept me alive, didn't she just want to control the Lu family in secret? But now she has disappeared inexplicably. Where did she go and what did she want to do? ”
Ruizhu probed: "This Liang family has always been scheming. Who knows if he is scheming to reap the benefits?"
She thought for a while and then said: "Have you forgotten? After the poisoned chamberlain committed suicide out of fear of crime, your Excellency sent people to investigate. As a result, the chamberlain backed down before the battle and did not act according to our plan at all. Even the servant The bottle of medicine given to him was buried intact in the flower pot at his residence, but this Liang happened to come by such a coincidence that day." Lu Wanying thought about it carefully, and it was because of this that it was difficult to understand.
The poisoning incident must be related to Liang Huan. Unfortunately, on the day of the incident, she was sent to this hellish place and never had the chance to find out...
Suddenly, Lu Wan's eyes fixed on the wooden box on the ground.
She frowned, took two steps closer, and kicked the wooden box with her toes. "What is this?"
The visitor quickly raised his head: "We searched all over the wooden house, but we still couldn't find the peony seal. There was nothing special in the house. Only this box looked a little different."
Lu Wanying raised her eyebrows: "Open it and let me have a look."
The visitor opened it as instructed and found a large cloak inside.
Lu Wanying smiled coldly, quite disdainfully. “It’s just a big cloak, so what’s so rare about it——”
Her laughter stopped, her expression changed, and she stared at the wooden box.
Ruizhu took out the cloak doubtfully and carefully shook it open. "This cloak belongs to a man, why is this Liang——"
When he raised his eyes again, he saw Lu Wanying's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and he immediately swallowed his words.
“Is there something wrong with this?”
Lu Wanying said nothing and pulled the cloak over.
Ruizhu was startled, and when she looked carefully, she saw chrysanthemums and butterflies embroidered in an inconspicuous corner of the cloak.
The chrysanthemums are 'green peonies', and the butterflies are embroidered with kingfisher blue silk thread.
She vaguely remembered that she met someone from Si Yisi at the entrance of Hanguang Palace last year, saying that he was sending embroidery thread to Mr. Liang...
Looking at Lu Wanying again, he was holding on to his cloak as if he was possessed by a demon, staring blankly.
"Ruizhu..."
"The slave is here."
"What did you see?"
Ruizhu bit her lip and took a closer look at the cloak in front of her: "This slave does not look like it came from the palace, but the pattern, fabric, and workmanship are not what ordinary people can..."
< br>
Lu Wanying came back to her senses a little bit and nodded gently: "Yes, you have been in the palace for a long time, and you can tell the difference at a glance."
Her throat was dry and hoarse: "Why do you think she embroidered green peonies on this big cloak?"
Ruizhu looked at Lu Wan's trembling hands and timidly shook her head: "Slave, I don't know."
Lu Wanying's eyes were dull and she laughed twice: "In the past, I could always see a silver peony on Aweng, my aunt, and his clothes."
Ruizhu had served in Renshou Hall, so she naturally knew. "But this... is not a peony, it is a chrysanthemum."
Lu Wanying nodded, narrowed his eyes, looked at the cloak tightly held in his hands, and laughed in a low voice. "Yes, it would be fine if it were really a peony, but it is just his favorite chrysanthemum...with butterflies."
As he said that, he seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the ground with his big cloak in his arms.
In order to find the Peony Seal, she and her brother searched all the Lu family members.
What is puzzling is that it had only been two years since the death of Marquis Anding, but the records about Lu Xiu in the palace seemed to have been erased by life.
She looked through all the records and found only one simple sentence.
In the tenth year of Guanghe's reign, Marquis Anding was defeated and buried in Pingzhou.
It's so simple that it doesn't even have a name.
It was obviously someone who did it on purpose.
But who has so much power to do this?
"She can be asked to keep it so carefully and have it with this embroidered picture. Who else can it be in this world besides his..."
Ruizhu and the visitor looked at each other in confusion, lowered their heads, and did not dare to answer casually.
The room was quiet for a long time.
"Go and check for me!" (End of Chapter)
