First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

Chapter 500 Dragon Onion Gu

Lu Shian sneered: "Why is your prince still unwilling to give up? Do you think I am the one hiding the assassin?"

"Have you searched this room before? Or can the assassin transform himself? Turn into a cat or a dog, or even become invisible?"

Lu'er was choked and coughed repeatedly.

Since there were only two people in the room, Lu Shian didn't want to argue, so he let Lu'er eat with him.

Seeing that Lu'er was choking, Lu Shi'an considerately handed her a glass of water. She frowned and asked, "Are you uncomfortable eating with others watching you?"

"I'm not used to being stared at like this while eating."

"Did you hear that? My people said she doesn't like being stared at while eating."

The maidservant still stood there looking straight ahead, as if she didn't hear Lu Shian's words.

Lu Shian: ...

Well, Lu Shian threw his chopsticks on the table and said, "I'm not going to eat anymore. I want to go out for a walk."

The maid bowed and said, "Miss Shi'an, do you want to go for a walk in the courtyard? I will ask the prince for permission right away."

Snapped

"You want to ask the prince for instructions, right? Well, well, if that's the case, you might as well lock me up in jail."

"What's the difference between here and in prison? At least in prison, I don't need someone to watch me eat."

The little maid did not answer, but bowed and saluted, then left directly. It was obvious that she was going to ask Li Hongyu for instructions.

royal palace.

Li Hongyu stood in front of the dragon bed, looking down at the emperor. The emperor glared at Li Hongyu viciously, hating himself for not killing this rebellious son earlier.

"Father, are you feeling better today?"

"Rebel..."

"The imperial physician said that it would be best if Father did not get angry, lest his condition worsen."

"Where is Qinglu?"

Qinglu was the maiden name of the imperial concubine.

"It's already this time, and you're still thinking about that woman. Father, you're too biased."

"I ask you, where is she and what have you done to her?"

"Father, please think about yourself first and think about how you should apologize to my mother."

"Hmph, your mother, I have already shown mercy by sparing your life. How dare you ask me to apologize to that woman?"

"Why apologize? Why apologize? If you hadn't banished her to the cold palace, how could she have died so early? If you hadn't believed the slander, how could she have died unjustly?"

"Humph, died unjustly? Her death is not a pity. I didn't sentence her to death because she gave birth to you. How dare you question me now?"

"You're talking nonsense. My mother is not that kind of person."

"Humph, why don't you check it yourself and find out?"

The emperor closed his eyes and didn't want to look at his son again.

"Hmph, old man, don't play dead. I will investigate the matter you wrongly accused my mother. Now I want you to write an imperial edict in person, announcing to the world that the Imperial Noble Consort's moral conduct is shameful and she will be demoted to a commoner. Then you will posthumously confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort Naruhito on my mother."

"dream."

Li Hongyu chuckled: "Old thing, I am giving you a chance now, let you write it yourself. If you don't want to write it yourself, it's okay. I am willing to help you."

"what are you up to?"

"There is a poison in Miaojiang called Longcong Gu. If you are infected with it, you will obey anyone's orders."

"You, you, you rebellious son, the Great Abyss Nation has issued a clear ban on poison, yet you dare to break the law knowingly."

"Breaking the law knowingly? Haha, this law will be repealed soon."

"The treasonous son, the treasonous son..."

"You are the emperor after all, and you can only say 'rebellious son'? You are so much worse than the Imperial Concubine. When the whip was whipping the Imperial Concubine up the mountain, she screamed so ecstatically."

"What, you, you... ahem, you actually tortured her, you are so outrageous, she is my imperial concubine, my imperial concubine."

"She is the Imperial Consort. What about my mother? Do you remember the woman in the cold palace?"

Li Hongyu roared loudly: "At this point, don't you think you did something wrong?"

"Why do you think your mother was sent to the cold palace? What is the reason for your indignation..."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "If you want revenge, you must at least know the truth of the matter."

"The truth? The truth is that my mother died in the cold palace, but you and that woman are still alive and well. Now your retribution has come. Your most valued son and your most beloved woman will both suffer a fate worse than death, and all of this is because of you."

The emperor knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. His son hated him and everyone.

"I'm giving you one day. No, today. You must write the edict before dark today, or I will do it myself."

Li Hongyu's eyes were filled with coldness: "I advise you to write it down yourself, otherwise the woman you love most will suffer more pain and be whipped more."

Li Hongyu left after saying this, and the emperor sighed helplessly.

After Li Hongyu came out from the emperor's place, he went to the imperial concubine's residence.

Li Hongyu acted so quickly that he had taken control of the palace before anyone in it could react.

The emperor claimed to be ill and refused to see anyone, and the imperial concubine was also "ill" and was confined to her own bedroom.

As for other concubines, no one is allowed to move around without permission. Yesterday, a concubine wanted to ask for help, but was caught by Li Hongyu's men and beheaded on the spot.

There was no servant in the Imperial Concubine's bedroom. They were all locked up. Only the Imperial Concubine was there. She had just woken up from a coma. She struggled to get up from the ground and stood up with the help of the table.

Her hair was a little messy, and she no longer had her usual elegance and grace. Her face looked very ugly, and her clothes had traces of being whipped, with faint bloodstains covering her entire back.

She was a little thirsty, but there was no water in the kettle on the table.

She licked her lips and decided to go out and get some water.

She walked out to the clay jar in the yard and scooped up some water.

The lotus flowers planted in the clay pot are in bud at this moment.

After drinking the water, she felt much better. She didn't know how many days she had left to live. She was worried about her son, the emperor, and the queen mother...

"Cough cough..."

She coughed twice, then scooped up some water and took two sips.

Papapa

There was applause from behind. It was Li Hongyu.

The imperial concubine didn't want to look at him, so she drank some water, turned around, and slowly dragged her injured leg into the house.

"Who would have thought that the extremely noble imperial concubine of the Great Abyss Kingdom would actually drink dirty water? Tsk, tsk, tsk, who would believe it if I told anyone?"

The Imperial Concubine said coldly and continued to move into the house.

"Didn't the Imperial Concubine hear what the prince said?"

"What are you listening to? Your ears only listen to what you want to hear."

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? I saw my mother die in front of me."

"You are her child. There are some unpleasant words that I don't want to say. Please leave."

Li Hongyu stepped forward, grabbed the imperial concubine's wrist and threw her out with force. The imperial concubine was whipped every day for the past two days.

Although there were no injuries to the bones or muscles, the wound had already shown signs of inflammation because there was no imperial physician to help treat it.

In addition, she had not eaten well and had not slept well in the past two days, and she was already very depressed.

This time she fell hard to the ground. She slowly raised her head and looked at Li Hongyu: "Prince Duan, do you know what you are doing? This is treason. Even if you seize the throne, you will be despised by the world."

"Do you think I care about this? I am not you. You are extremely hypocritical. You are willing to fabricate rumors and destroy my mother for your own benefit. Today I am just letting you taste the bitter fruit of your own making."

"Really? Is that really the case?"

The Imperial Concubine propped herself up and sat up: "Now that you are the winner, you probably won't listen to anything I say to you. In that case, you might as well just kill me."

"You want to die, Imperial Concubine, are you willing to die? Are you willing to give up your wealth and splendor?"

"I have lived a life of luxury and wealth. Even if I die now, it's worth it."

"Okay, in that case, please do as you please, but...if you kill yourself, the Crown Prince, oh no, not the Crown Prince, I should call him Li Hongting, I will send him down to see you immediately."

"How dare you, a prince, depose the crown prince?"

"Of course I dare. You know, I am the Prince of Duan now. Who knows in a few days."

"You killed your father and brother. How can you be worthy of inheriting the throne?"

"The son of a despicable person like you can be the crown prince, so why can't I be the crown prince?"

"He is following the will of the people, you are seeking power and usurping the throne, how can you be the same?"

"Shut up. He followed the will of the people because the old man made him the crown prince. If I were the crown prince, I would also follow the will of the people."

The Imperial Concubine laughed: "Haha, hahaha...you are not worthy of being the Crown Prince, hahaha...your mother had an affair with a guard, just based on this matter, you will never be able to be the Crown Prince."

Hearing the Imperial Concubine insulting his mother in such a way, Li Hongyu became furious. He raised his foot and kicked the Imperial Concubine, who had barely sat firmly, down again.

"Shut up! You dare to slander my mother? I will kill you now."

The Imperial Concubine was not afraid at all. She was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed: "Will you let me go now? Haha..."

At this point, Li Hongyu also laughed: "You are right, I really don't intend to let you go."

"Your Majesty..."

"The Emperor wishes to see you."

When Li Hongyu heard that the emperor wanted to see him, his facial features relaxed: "It looks like my wish is about to come true."

Li Hongyu came to the dragon bed again, and the emperor said only one sentence: "I want to see Ting'er."

"Old man, it's already this time, and you still want to see him."

"If you want me to personally issue an order to vindicate your mother, then let him come."

After saying this, the emperor slowly closed his eyes again.

Prince Duan's Mansion.

Lu Shian didn't wait for Li Hongyu's permission to go out for a walk. She stayed in the room feeling very bored.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the house is stuffy. She really wants to go out for a walk.

She was holding a novel with a new cover. She was holding the book but was in a daze.

"Hey, when will this day end?"

Lu Shian twisted her neck. She felt that she had gained weight in the past few days. Although she didn’t eat well, she was still okay.

She stared at the vases on the shelf opposite for a long time. Suddenly she stood up, walked to the shelf, and touched each vase one by one.

Lu Er thought she was bored, so she followed her and asked, "Miss, do you want to clean the vases?"

Lu Shian didn't say anything and just continued with what he was doing.

Whether on TV or in novels, ancient people always liked to use some mechanisms, and the switches of the mechanisms were often vases, or a few books, or a painting.

She wanted to try if this was true.

She touched the vases on the shelf one by one. Good, they were all decent vases.

Lu Shian pinched his waist in frustration: "Too much, not following the routine."

She cast her eyes on the bed without giving up: "Lu'er, come and help me..."

Just as the two were about to lift the quilt, they heard knocking sounds from under the bed. They were startled and stepped back together.

The two looked at each other and saw the bed being pushed open from the bottom.

Shen Teng's head appeared so bright and clear.

"Shen Teng!!!"

Shen Teng was both happy and scared. He made a gesture to Lu Shian to keep quiet: "Shhhhhh..."

Lu'er went to the outer room without saying a word.

Shen Teng climbed up from below: "Shian, do you know where Nanxing is?"

Lu Shian asked at the same time: "How do you know there is a tunnel here?"

Shen Teng: "Money makes the world go round."

Lu Shian: “I don’t know!”

They asked the question at the same time and answered each other's question at the same time.

The two looked at each other and spoke again in unison.

"You first."

"You first."

In the end, it was Shen Teng who spoke first and told them what was happening outside.

"The Emperor announced to the public that the Crown Prince's rebellion had caused him to be too sad to attend court affairs, and that he needed to rest for a few days. The Yongkang Marquis's residence was surrounded, and the Wei residence was also guarded by the Imperial Guards. The Princess was stopped several times when she tried to enter the palace, and the situation in the palace was even worse. The Queen Mother and the Imperial Noble Consort were imprisoned, and now no one except Prince Duan can see the Emperor."

"but……"

"But what?"

"The Prince Consort is very strange. He seems to have some dealings with Prince Duan."

"How is this possible? The Prince Consort does not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. How could he have any dealings with Prince Duan?"

Shen Teng shook his head: "I don't know."

Shen Teng sighed deeply: "Ever since the prince was divided, my cousin has disappeared, and I don't know where he went."

Lu Shian smiled awkwardly: "Haha, your cousin is so skilled, he will be fine."

"I hope so."

"By the way, Shi'an, are you all right here? Did Prince Duan do anything to you?"

"Except for not letting me go out, everything else is fine."

"That's good."

"Shen Teng, you are here to look for Nanxing, right?"

Shen Teng nodded: "I haven't seen Nanxing for several days."

He went to Yu's house, but the servants were hesitant and refused to say anything. He knew something must have happened, so after repeated questioning, Shitou told him that Nanxing had been kidnapped.

Thinking about what had happened during this period, he immediately guessed a possibility.

That is, Prince Duan captured Nanxing.

So he spent a lot of money to buy the map and secret passage of Prince Duan's Palace from others.

After trying to find the wrong exit several times, I finally found Lu Shian.

Shen Teng briefly explained the matter to Lu Shian, who frowned as he listened.

Of course she hoped that there was some secret passage or secret room to help her escape, but when she saw Shen Teng actually crawling out of the secret passage, she felt it was unreal.

Shen Teng heard her doubts and waved his hands nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? This kind of secret passage is very common among aristocratic families. This Prince Duan's Mansion was previously the residence of Prince Rong. Prince Rong renovated the mansion. It's normal that Prince Duan doesn't know about it."

"Is that so?"

Lu Shian was still skeptical.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you."

"If that's the case, then it wouldn't be easy to find Nanxing."

Shen Teng knew what Lu Shian meant, so he quickly took out the blueprint...
