Chapter 306 The Secret of the 3nd Prince
"Take her away and keep an eye on her. Don't let her run away, and don't let her die."
Leng Qingyu suddenly spoke.
"Yes!"
The housekeeper followed the instructions and asked the servant to take the man away.
Leng Qingyu stepped forward and held Lu Zhiyi's hand lovingly.
"Zhiyi, don't be afraid. Mother will find a doctor to cure you."
Ye Xinran sneered, "Mother, this poison has entered the heart meridian, even a god can't save it."
"shut up!"
Leng Qingyu shouted.
"Don't say such things in front of Zhiyi."
"Mom, just protect her, but what's the point of lying to her now? She'll still die in three days!"
After Ye Xinran finished speaking, she turned around and left the room in angrily.
With this scolding, Lu Zhiyi finally came to his senses. This was the first time that Leng Qingyu scolded Ye Xinran for himself. Lu Zhiyi was a little at a loss.
"Mom, she..."
Leng Qingyu's face was gentle as she comforted him, "Don't worry, your sister was just angry for a moment and she will be fine soon. The maid has gone to boil the medicine. You will be fine after drinking it in a while."
Listening to Leng Qingyu's soft and gentle words, Lu Zhiyi felt a comfort he had never felt before.
But it was too late.
"I know I won't live long." Lu Zhiyi said, "Mom, you don't have to comfort me."
"I never thought the Third Prince would treat me like this! I did so much for him before, but I never thought that in the end I would be betrayed and murdered.
Does he really want me to die?"
Lu Zhiyi became more and more excited as he spoke.
"He must be afraid that if I'm alive, his secret will be exposed!"
"You know his secret?"
Leng Qingyu couldn't help but ask.
Lu Zhiyi smiled bitterly, "Mom, these people, on the surface, look nobler and more knowledgeable than anyone else, but in fact, they are the darkest and most despicable people.
For their own interests, they can murder their brothers and sisters and even sell out the city of Daliang.
Tell me, if I knew these things, wouldn’t he want me to die the most? "
Leng Qingyu was shocked when he heard this.
Everything that happened before was under her control.
Let Lu Zhiyi draw a clear line between himself and Ning Yuer, and have Ning Yuer personally deny the fact that Lu Zhiyi and Lu Changning are siblings.
Then he led the fake coach to suspect the relationship between the two, and further used Yunniang's ventriloquism to mislead the fake coach to confirm that the two had an dirty relationship, and then spread the matter to the ears of the third prince.
In Leng Qingyu's opinion, although the Third Prince was suspicious by nature, given his status, he would definitely not bother to verify the truth of this matter.
He couldn't tolerate such a thing happening to his woman.
He will break off the engagement with the Lu family and find ways to kill Lu Zhiyi.
Unexpectedly, the third prince did not cancel the engagement directly, but chose another marriage and demoted Lu Zhiyi to a concubine.
Leng Qingyu was very dissatisfied with this result.
If Lu Zhiyi was allowed to marry, she might turn around and take action against the Lu family.
So Leng Qingyu released Chuntao.
The indentures of Chuntao's entire family are in Leng Qingyu's hands.
Her parents and younger brother lived in a manor in the suburbs, and only she, because she looked smart since she was a child, was left with Lu Zhiyi.
Chuntao and Lu Zhiyi have a good relationship, but under Leng Qingyu's threat, she still chooses her parents.
The poison was put in Lu Zhiyi's food.
This is not a fatal poison, but it can make people feel extremely painful for a short period of time.
Ye Xinran deliberately said that there were only three days, just to put more pressure on Lu Zhiyi.
What Leng Qingyu wanted was for Lu Zhiyi to come personally to cancel the engagement.
She knew that Lu Zhiyi had a secret connection with the Third Prince, and she wanted to completely sever the relationship between the two, both openly and secretly.
Only after completely stripping away the Third Prince's Mansion could she easily get rid of Ning Yuer and her son.
However, Leng Qingyu had never expected that Lu Zhiyi also knew the third prince's big secret.
“Since the Third Prince wants to kill you and silence you, he definitely doesn’t want these secrets to be known.
These secrets must be very important to him, right? "
Leng Qingyu asked tentatively.
"Of course."
Lu Zhiyi's smile was bleak.
"These secrets could land him in jail at best, or cost him his life outright.
He thought I knew only a little bit, but he didn't know that my father had already revealed the seriousness of the matter to me.
The purpose is to give me something to check and balance him in the future.
It’s just that my father and I are too kind.
I didn’t expect him to kill someone so ruthlessly.”
As Lu Zhiyi spoke, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
The pain in her body suddenly became less suppressed, causing her to twitch uncontrollably.
"Quick, call Xinran over."
Leng Qingyu gave instructions to the servants.
Upon hearing this, the little maid ran out quickly.
After a while, Ye Xinran hurried over.
The mother and daughter exchanged glances. Ye Xinran quickly stepped forward and used silver needles to help Lu Zhiyi control the effects of the drug again.
Lu Zhiyi has lost the ability to think at this moment.
There was only hatred in her heart.
She hated the Third Prince for being cruel to her, and hated herself for trusting others and not being on guard earlier.
"Mother, I am an unfilial daughter. I am dragging you down before I die."
She took two rough breaths, "But my daughter really can't accept this. I can't accept that I was harmed like this and can't get revenge.
The third prince has been secretly communicating with the enemy country and attempting to murder Daliang's loyal ministers. Even if I cannot survive, I will drag him down to be buried with me!
Please help me, mother! "
Leng Qingyu took a breath of cold air.
"Collaborating with the enemy? You can't just say that!"
Lu Zhiyi leaned against the bed rail and sneered, "It's already this time, how could I say anything nonsense."
She raised her arm and pointed at her dressing box and said, "There is a letter in the secret compartment of the box. It is written by the leader of the Kesi tribe in the northern border to the third prince."
Upon hearing this, Ding Qiao immediately picked up the box and opened the secret compartment in no time. As expected, she found a letter inside.
She handed the letter to Leng Qingyu, and before Leng Qingyu opened it, she heard Lu Zhiyi say, "This letter was originally given to me by my father for self-defense.
He was afraid that I would be bullied after marrying into the Third Prince's mansion, so he specially kept some evidence of the Third Prince for me.
If the Third Prince knew that I had something on him, he wouldn't dare to offend me easily. It's just a pity..."
Lu Zhiyi laughed out loud when he said this.
The voice was sharp and shrill, as if it carried endless hatred.
"It's a pity that this handle hasn't come in handy yet, because I have to go downstairs to meet my father.
But I am unwilling to leave like this, mother, please help me get justice!"
Leng Qingyu's mind was now entirely on this letter.
She had always wanted to find a way to check and balance the third prince, but she didn't expect to get it so easily.
Because she was too excited, Leng Qingyu didn't notice that beside her, Ye Xinran was staring at the letter more anxiously than she was.
