Chapter 221: Self-directed and self-acted
With what Cui Fang just said, Lu Qingmeng now has a pile of incriminating evidence in Lu Xilong's hands, but none of them can put him to death.
After thinking about it, since the evidence of the crime that killed Lu Xilong does not yet exist, fabricating it out of thin air is not a bad way.
"It seems that we still have to start with the simple Jiaojiao." Lu Qingmeng sat alone in the room, and a gloomy smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Don't you like to find someone to follow me?" Then this last time I'll let you follow along. ”
Thinking about it like this, Lu Qingmeng simply walked towards King Chang's Mansion in broad daylight.
This time she was alert, and when she went out, she noticed that someone was following her, but she didn't care, after all, this time she wanted them to follow.
Lu Qingmeng quietly observed all the way, and there were always two people who followed him, but when he walked to the door of Changwang's mansion, there was only one left, thinking that the other was probably in a hurry to go back and inform Lu Jiaojiao to capture the evidence.
is so good, everything is expected by Lu Qingmeng.
King Chang is now being punished by Emperor Liang Qin for being grounded in the palace because of the previous failure to frame Lu Xuan, and he is worried that he has nothing to do, and the beauty he thinks about day and night is here.
As soon as he heard the report from the people of the palace, King Chang's tired eyes instantly emitted a bright light: "Sister Qingmeng is here?" Come in, come in. ”
The subordinates hurriedly went to summon him, and King Chang hurriedly arranged his outfit and face in front of the bronze mirror.
After a while, I saw that Lu Qingmeng was as well-behaved and gentle as usual, and when he came up, he saluted King Chang softly, and the ordinary sentence of "I have seen His Highness" simply made his bones crispy.
King Chang has always pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade, and was reluctant to bend the waist of the beauty, so he immediately stepped forward to help Lu Qingmeng up with his own hands: "Sister Qingmeng doesn't have to be polite in front of His Royal Highness. ”
Seeing that King Chang was still interested in him, and without waiting for him to ask about his intentions, Lu Qingmeng suddenly cried in a low voice.
King Chang couldn't stand the tears of the beauty the most, and the pearl-like teardrops seemed to fall on his heart one by one, smashing his chest painfully.
King Chang hurriedly asked with a nervous face: "Sister Qingmeng, what's the matter, don't cry, who bullied you, you told His Highness that His Highness would definitely take out this evil breath for you." ”
After getting King Chang's words, Lu Qingmeng's purpose of this trip was half achieved, and she pretended to cry pitifully: "Qingmeng is guilty, please punish Your Highness." ”
King Chang was at a loss when he heard this: "What are you guilty of?" ”
"Qingmeng was threatened before, and he did something sorry for His Highness, and he had no shame to face His Highness." The more Lu Qingmeng cried, the more aggrieved he became, which really made King Chang unable to take care of accountability.
After a pause, Lu Qingmeng held back his tears and confessed to King Chang: "The previous incident of the Lu family's concubine seducing His Royal Highness is actually related to Qingmeng. ”
After a cursory recollection, King Chang remembered that Lu Qingmeng had mentioned her relationship with Lu Jiaojiao to him, but he was still surprised: "Your Highness knows that she is your cousin, but what does what she does have to do with you?" ”
"Before, she tried to confuse His Royal Highness with her beauty, and the medicine in the incense burner was bought and put in by her, Qingmeng was young and didn't know His Highness, so she and His Highness were in love, how could she ...... expected," Lu Qingmeng said and cried again.
Although King Chang is disgusted with others deceiving him, he can't bear to reprimand her pitiful appearance now.
After thinking for a moment, King Chang still helped Lu Qingmeng to sit down, and comforted her with kind words: "She forced you to do this, naturally it doesn't mean that you are sorry for Your Highness, but it's been so long, why did you suddenly come to explain this matter to Your Highness?" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Qingmeng cried even more aggrieved, and instantly knelt down towards King Chang again: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Qingmeng came to ask Your Highness for help today because of this matter!" ”
"Help? Who would dare to hurt you? King Chang's expression instantly became fierce.
Only then did Lu Qingmeng tell about being followed by Lu Jiaojiao recently: "She has been sending people to follow Qingmeng, saying that Qingmeng seduced His Royal Highness, and the scar on Qingmeng's side neck was also scratched by her." ”
Lu Qingmeng showed his scar to King Chang as he spoke, which is also bullying King Chang's straw bag, if it is replaced by others, they can see at a glance that this is a new injury.
However, it is difficult for Lu Qingmeng to be so open-minded, and he did not hesitate to harm himself in order to deal with Lu Jiaojiao, and he was really not afraid of ruining the appearance of this closed moon shy flower.
But right now, compared to Lu Qingmeng, it seems that King Chang is more distressed about her appearance.
I saw that King Chang was furious after checking Lu Qingmeng's injury: "How can this be reasonable!" Your Highness thought of letting her go for the sake of her being your cousin, and she was so unrepentant that she dared to hurt you. ”
At this point, Lu Qingmeng hurriedly added oil and vinegar: "Yesterday, she brought someone to the house again and threatened to kill Qingmeng, Qingmeng was helpless, and my brother did not dare to abuse lynching, so I could only come to ask His Highness to save her, please ask Your Highness to save Qingmeng." ”
A beautiful woman with such a national color and fragrance cried so much in front of herself that which man was willing to refuse?
King Chang immediately made a decision and sent someone: "Someone! Go and arrest Lu Jiaojiao's demon girl to His Royal Highness! ”
Seeing King Chang's order, Lu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief, and a sinister smile couldn't help but appear on his lowered face.
He paused for a moment before speaking: "Your Highness, it is inconvenient for Qingmeng to meet Jiaojiao here, so she will retire first." ”
King Chang responded to Lu Qingmeng's requests, she spoke, he naturally would not refuse, and immediately sent someone to escort her back.
At this time, Lu Jiaojiao had been waiting outside King Chang's Mansion for a long time, and as soon as she saw Lu Qingmeng coming out, she immediately rushed up and slapped her: "You slut!" And said that you did not seduce Your Highness! ”
Lu Qingmeng had expected this slap, but she didn't dodge it, because she deliberately wanted to show it to someone behind her who was reluctantly watching her.
Sure enough, a slap fell, and a man's angry voice immediately came from the courtyard: "Bold! ”
Seeing that the person who came was King Chang, Lu Jiaojiao immediately restrained her arrogant and domineering appearance, and turned to salute him meekly.
Can Lu Jiaojiao's current dignity be compared to the fairy-like Lu Qingmeng in the eyes of King Chang?
King Chang didn't say a word, he came up and kicked Lu Jiaojiao's Xiaofu fiercely, and then looked at Lu Qingmeng with gentle concern: "Qingmeng, are you okay?" ”
Lu Qingmeng shook his head aggrievedly, but the fiery slap print on his face said it all.
King Chang was immediately annoyed, and turned to glaring viciously at Lu Jiaojiao, who was kicked to the ground by him: "You shrew! You ......"
He was about to say something, but was stopped by Lu Qingmeng: "Your Highness, this is outside the mansion, it is inevitable that someone will pass by for a while, don't ruin Your Highness's reputation." ”
In fact, Lu Qingmeng was just afraid that an acquaintance would pass by here and report her whereabouts to Lu Xuan, judging from her words, anyone who heard it was indeed thinking about King Chang.
Such an empathetic Lu Qingmeng formed a stark contrast to the shrew-like Lu Jiaojiao, and King Chang instantly made a decision in his heart.
King Chang immediately ordered Lu Jiaojiao to be taken back to the palace, but Lu Qingmeng didn't want to stay for a long time, so he had to order someone to escort her back.
Originally, King Chang was eager to send the entire palace to protect Lu Qingmeng, but because she repeatedly shirked it, she only asked him for two in the end.
Walking to an uninhabited alley close to the courtyard of the Shuzhi Mansion, Lu Qingmeng suddenly stopped and spoke to one of the palace guards: "I have a purple sachet that seems to have fallen halfway, can you bother the prince to turn back and look for me?" ”
Lu Qingmeng is now a celebrity in front of King Chang, where will her request be refused? Nian had another guard who could protect her, and the guards who had been named immediately turned back.
It wasn't until the guard walked away that Lu Qingmeng stopped and surprised the only remaining guard beside him: "Oh, my sachet is here, that son must not have gone far yet, go and remind him." ”
The guard was turning to look back when he heard this, but something seemed to have been stabbed heavily in the back, and he lowered his head, only to see something sharp and bright seem to come out of his chest.
The sudden pain caught him off guard, and before he could see the murderer, he fell to the ground, and the last scene he saw in front of him was only a beautiful but intimidating face.
"I'm sorry, if you want to blame it, blame you for quick success, dozens of guards are what you want to get the reuse of that straw bag through me the most, greed is really not a good thing." Lu Qingmeng secretly said to the dead man at his feet.
Then he hurriedly cleaned up the blood stains on his hands and went up to Lu Xilong's mansion.
"Uncle, uncle, something is wrong!" Lu Qingmeng rushed into the courtyard in a panic.
Seeing that it was her, Lu Xilong's face suddenly lost a good look: "What are you doing here?" ”
Time was pressing, Lu Qingmeng did not delay, but hurriedly said: "Jiaojiao ran to Changwang's Mansion to make a fuss, and now she has been arrested by His Royal Highness and is ready to be punished, uncle, go and take a look!" ”
Lu Xilong loved his daughter very much, and as soon as he heard that Lu Jiaojiao had an accident, he ran in the direction of Changwangfu without saying a word, and Lu Qingmeng followed.
It wasn't until she walked to the place where she hid the guard's corpse that Lu Xilong suddenly heard a muffled sound behind him, and turned his head to see a dagger already inserted into Lu Qingmeng's abdomen.
Lu Xilong was taken aback, and hurriedly walked over to Lu Qingmeng: "What's wrong with you, who did it?" ”
He was in a panic, and Lu Qingmeng caught a glimpse of the guards who had been tricked by her into looking for the sachet not far away, and suddenly dodged backwards with a panicked face.
"Uncle, I beg you, I beg you to let me go, I really didn't hurt Jiaojiao, I really didn't." Lu Qingmeng suddenly reacted like this.
Seeing that Lu Xilong was at a loss, he hurriedly took two steps closer to her: "Qingmeng, what are you doing." ”
Lu Qingmeng dodged even more: "Don't come here, don't come over, help!" ”
Seeing this, the secret guard of the palace not far away instantly fell into Lu Qingmeng's trap, and he didn't have time to think about it, thinking that Lu Xilong intended to hurt her, so without saying a word, he pulled out his saber and stabbed him in the back.
