Chapter Thirty-Nine: He's Not That Simple

"Your Highness is not joking with me?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Murong Zhan looked at Lu Wanting with affection in his eyes.

"Your Highness, don't say these things." Lu Wanting didn't look over, she didn't want to look at Murong Zhan's appearance at this moment.

"Don't you believe me?"

"You're my patient, I'm just the doctor who heals you." Lu Wanting turned her head to look at Murong Zhan's eyes and said.

"Last time, we were friends, weren't we?" Murong Zhan smiled lightly.

"I never dared to treat His Royal Highness as a friend, after all, you are the prince."

"Why do you say such things again?!" Murong Zhan was a little angry.

"Isn't it?" Lu Wanting stared at Murong Zhan intently and asked.

"Miss Lu, you know that I, Murong Zhan, am not the kind of person who cares about my identity, why do you want to say such things repeatedly to hurt me?" Murong Zhan was really angry, he had already told her this last time, but she took out the matter of identity as a reason.

"If Your Highness doesn't say anything like marrying me anymore, I can treat Your Highness as a friend."

"So, don't you want to be my princess?"

"I hope Your Highness understands." Lu Wanting blessed her body and bowed.

Murong Zhan was a little injured, he thought that Lu Wanting would be willing, he had never married before due to leg disease, after meeting Lu Wanting, he always felt that Lu Wanting was the same traveler as him, and she was the most suitable person for him, so he didn't want to let go and wanted to keep her by his side.

"Okay, maybe I'm too abrupt, so I make you feel a little uncomfortable, it's okay, I can wait for you, wait for the day you say yes."

"If nothing else, I'll take my leave." Lu Wanting didn't want to answer his words, she was really not used to Murong Zhan looking at her with such affectionate eyes, and she would only feel disgusted and want to vomit after watching too much.

"I'll let Huayang send you."

"No need, I'll just go back by myself."

Leaving Murong Zhan's mansion as if fleeing, Lu Wanting exhaled deeply, she felt more and more that the so-called beauty plan was too unwise, and she couldn't wait to draw a line with Murong Zhan immediately. But having come to this point, she is unwilling to investigate Murong Zhan's reasons for targeting the General's Mansion, but she has never been able to find a suitable opportunity.

After a day and a night of physical and mental torture, Wan Qiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and personally said that the person behind the scenes who instructed him to push Murong Qian into the river was the abolished prince Murong Fu.

When Murong Qian heard Xin Ji's report, he sneered, "Hmph, what? Do you have to pull someone on your back before you die? ”

He had guessed before whether it was possible that Murong Fu had done it, but he felt that he had been abolished, and there was no reason to jump around anymore. But now that he knew that he did it, he was not surprised, Murong Fu was originally a dog that would bite people when he went crazy.

He stood up, curled the corners of his lips, and said to Xin Ji: "Call Xin Qi, let's go visit this good eighth brother of mine together." ”

"Yes."

took Xin Ji Xin Qi to Murong Fu's mansion, Murong Qian looked for a long time before finding Murong Fu in the study, he locked himself in the study alone, and there were many papers scattered on the ground, all of which were written Murong Qian's name, and there was a powerful word "death" on the back of the paper.

Murong Qian picked up a piece of paper, smiled, and said to Murong Fu, who was drinking with his back to him, "I didn't expect the eighth brother to think so much about me to die." ”

Murong Fu heard Murong Qian's voice and suddenly turned his head, "Murong Qian! How dare you come to me! ”

"What is the eighth brother doing so loudly, it's not that I can't hear it."

"Murong Qian! Why don't you die?! Why didn't you die?! ”

Murong Fu's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of hatred and killing intent.

"Eighth brother, this is not a self-recruitment! Do you admit that you sent someone to kill me? ”

"What about me? You framed me for hiding weapons and deposed me, and it was light not to cut you with a thousand knives! ”

Murong Fu gritted his teeth and looked at Murong Qian, as if he was going to pounce on it and bite a few bites in the next second.

Murong Qian frowned, and asked with some doubts: "Where did the eighth brother start with this, when did I frame you for hiding weapons privately?" ”

"You're still acting with me here, didn't you buy that He Zizhong to let him frame me? And put that batch of ordnance in the princess's courtyard! ”

Murong Qian finally understood, and together with Murong Fu, he thought that he had framed him, and he thought that Murong Fu had really done these things and was exposed.

"What are you mad about? How could I frame you, don't wronged good people. ”

"Good guys? What kind of good person are you Murong Qian, haven't you always wanted to pull me down so that you can be the prince yourself? What are you pretending to be innocent with me here? ”

Murong Fu was about to be laughed at, and now that he has something to hide.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, Murong Qian is indeed the most suspicious person. Murong Qian thought about it himself, if he was framed, he would definitely be the first person who thought of Murong Fu.

"I admit that I want to be the crown prince myself, but I will never frame you, it is a big crime to possess weapons privately, and I am not so stupid as this."

Murong Qian felt that something was wrong, he wanted to go back and think about what the problem was, so he left in a hurry, forgetting what the purpose of coming to Murong Fu was in the first place.

"Calm yourself down, I'm only going to say so much, I really didn't frame you, believe it or not."

Murong Fu looked at Murong Qian's back as he left in a hurry, only when he was exposed and ran away, as for what he said, he wouldn't believe a word.

After Murong Qian returned to the mansion, he sat alone in the study and pondered.

How was the prince's secret possession of weapons discovered? He remembered that when Lin Yanqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was conducting a routine inventory of the warehouse, he accidentally found that the number of weapons did not match the number recorded in the book, and then he knew that a batch of ordnance was missing. So he went to the palace to report to His Majesty, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with all this.

The problem lies with Ho Zi Chung, the chief in charge of the armory. He Zizhong said that he was bribed by the crown prince, so he transported a batch of ordnance to the princess's annex, and in order not to be discovered, he did something to the booklet that recorded the quantity. The suspicion is here, He Zizhong, as the principal, should know very well that Lin Yanqing will definitely come to the treasury to count the quantity, why do he want to fake the booklet, as if he deliberately wants people to find out.

That's right! He deliberately wanted to be discovered! Murong Qian's eyes lit up, He Zizhong just wanted to be discovered on purpose, and then logically framed the prince! But who instructed him to do so?

Murong Qian's mind appeared the face of the sixth Murong Zhan, he was silent, thought for a while, then raised his head and summoned Xin Qi, and ordered: "You go to the jailer of the heavenly prison to ask, whether it is really confirmed that He Zizhong committed suicide in prison, and then go to find He Zizhong's corpse, and ask He Zizhong about the cause of death and appearance, as well as ......."

Murong Qian paused, and then called Xin Ji, "Xin Ji, you sent someone to secretly follow Lin Yanqing, the secretary of the military department, to see who he has been in close contact with recently." ”

"Yes."

After Xin Ji and Xin Qi went out, Murong Qian leaned back on the chair, took a sip of the tea that had been cooled through the teacup, and the cold tea entered his stomach, and he suddenly felt cold, but his heart was filled with more coldness.

If everything he thinks is verified, it proves that Lao Liu is not as simple as it seems, and he will definitely be his biggest opponent.

Murong Zhan has not been discouraged since he was rejected by Lu Wanting that day, and he ran to Lu Wanting's residence every three or five days, looking for her to play chess today, and looking for her to see her legs tomorrow, anyway, it was all a reason.

In addition to Murong Zhan, there is also Chu Yichuan who also ran happily to Lu Wanting's mansion, and Chu Yichuan's reason is always to help his mother deliver things.

The two of them ran to Lu Wanting happily, just like a race. But Lu Wanting was really annoyed to death, she didn't like this atmosphere, but on the one hand, she had to hang Murong Zhan to ensure that she could find the clues she wanted, and on the other hand, Chu Yichuan was the son of the senior sister, and he was indeed helping the senior sister send things, and she couldn't make the senior sister sad. At this time, Lu Wanting really wanted to say that she was too difficult!

After the rain after the weather turned cooler, Murong Zhan came to her again.

"Miss Lu, the weather is getting colder, I specially ordered someone to make a hand warmer for you, carry it in your arms when it's cold, you won't feel cold." Murong Zhan smiled gently at Lu Wanting and handed her the hand warmer.

After Lu Wanting took it, she found that it was hot, it should be that Murong Zhan had already put charcoal in it, and the bread outside the hand warmer was a layer of mink wool to protect her hands from being burned, and it was also very comfortable to touch. This gift was intimate, Lu Wanting did not refuse, and took it in her arms, Murong Zhan watched Lu Wanting hold the hand warmer in her arms, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

Murong Zhan looked around, turned around and asked Lu Wanting, "Why didn't you see Major General Chu today?" ”

"Oh, he's already here, I'll send him back."

"Hmm." Murong Zhan nodded, and continued: "Regarding the people in the General's Mansion, you should have less contacts. ”

"What's the problem? When I was treating Chu Yichuan's injuries in the General's Mansion before, the people in the Mansion were very good to me. Lu Wanting asked Murong Zhan with some puzzlement.

"General Chu has a very high reputation among the people, do you think, such a person, wouldn't my father be afraid of him? As a monarch, what you are most afraid of is that your subordinates will have high merit, and the General's Mansion is like this now, they are already in danger, and if you interact with them too much, you will only put yourself in danger in the future. You just saved Chu Yichuan's life, and if he wants to repay your favor, this period should be over, I advise you to cut off contact with him earlier. ”

Murong Zhan seriously analyzed the situation faced by the General's Mansion with Lu Wanting, and he didn't want Lu Wanting to be in danger.

"Your Highness Xie cares, I will." Lu Wanting smiled secretly in her heart, but her face was not revealing anything. This is not the case at all, the Donglin Emperor has no intention of targeting the senior brother at all, the senior brother has already told her this, on the contrary, the emperor's most trusted person is the senior brother except for Jiang Hai's father-in-law.

Lu Wanting scoffed at what Murong Zhan said, and sure enough, he was a complete hypocrite.

Hearing that Lu Wanting promised not to communicate with Chu Yichuan again, Murong Zhan smiled with satisfaction, in addition to jealousy, he was indeed worried about Lu Wanting's safety, because, in their plan, the General's Mansion must be eradicated.
