In the imperial study room, Liu Ying knelt on the ground, and all the shadow guards also knelt down.

Lu Xing also looked at the dark shadow guards, as if he was used to them returning home in vain every time.

"Tell me the specific story."

Liu Ying then told the whole story.

They sent Liu Fangru to the Jokhang Temple and secretly sent people to monitor Liu Fangru. After confirming that she had successfully told part of the truth to the princess, they quietly sent her back.

But on the way, he was robbed by a group of men in black.

Liu Ying was still cautious. Just in case, Liu Fangru's sedan was sent to someone else. The real Liu Fangru took another way down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped without any mistakes.

Therefore, in order to kidnap Liu Fangru, the other party should have made arrangements a long time ago and just waited.

Lu Xingyi didn't care that much about the loss of Liu Fangru. What he cared about was: "How did Gu Changling escape?"

How could he not have any worries? Liu Fangru was actually his bait.

Lu Xingchuan must be moved by the Liu family and the Sui family.

I must have investigated it a long time ago, and I must also want to use Liu Fangru to sell favors.

Therefore, it was within his imagination that they would go to the rescue.

He put all his troops on Liu Fangruna openly, but secretly set up a dragnet in the Jokhang Temple just to wait for one person.

It was impossible for Gu Changling not to go. After all, Weiwei wanted to know the truth.

He wasn't curious about Weiwei's reaction or the child in Weiwei's belly?

Therefore, the main reason why he let Liu Fangru out was to catch Gu Changling.

Liu Ying said: "After Liu Fangru was robbed, a fire suddenly broke out in the Jokhang Temple. The scene was chaotic. Gu Changling... should have taken advantage of the chaos and ran away..."

The Jokhang Temple was full of incense and a fire broke out. So many pilgrims ran away in panic. No matter how well they arranged the encirclement, they couldn't take action rashly.

He could only watch the crowd dissipate, and in the end there was no trace of Gu Changling.

Lu Xingyi heard the fire and stood up suddenly, "The Jokhang Temple is on fire? Where are the women?"

Liu Ying said: "Master, don't worry, my subordinates sent people to relocate those people immediately. Only one fish that slipped through the net took the opportunity to escape, but my subordinates have already sent people to catch them."

"Even if you can't catch her, master, don't worry. The woman was in a coma when she was sent to the Jokhang Temple. Even if she ran out, she wouldn't know the whole story and wouldn't reveal anything."

How could Lu Xingyi not be worried? He wouldn't worry about anything related to Gu Changling.

Besides, how could a temple like the Jokhang Temple catch fire by mistake?

It must be related to Gu Changling.

But he did this in such a secretive manner that he was confident that Gu Changling's current abilities would make it impossible to find out, absolutely impossible.

So was today's incident an accident?

Gu Changling set the fire just to create chaos and escape?

Lu Xing also knew that he always had a halo, even if Gu Changling ran away, he was not that angry.

But if those women were involved, it would be a big deal.

He rolled his sleeves angrily, "There are so many of you, why did you let him run away? It's really no good. Can't you capture Weiwei and threaten him temporarily? Do you want me to teach you?"

Even if he no longer loves Weiwei, he should have guessed that the child in his belly is his. Do you really want to show no affection at all?

Liu Ying said: "But the scene was too chaotic at that time. The pilgrims rushed to run down the mountain. Unfortunately, the princess was also involved in the crowd. The subordinates were also powerless to find the princess."

You can't use a sword or a sword, it will cause more panic.

Weiwei was involved in the chaos?

Although there was only one main road down the mountain from Jokhang Temple, couldn't she avoid it at all? Were the secret guards around her freeloaders?

Lu Xingyi rubbed his eyebrows. There were too many surprises, none of which were really expected, which made him feel more and more powerless.

Liu Ying did not find anything. He stayed in the dark, followed the evacuating team, and accidentally discovered Lu Hongyuan hiding in Suirong Inn.

When Lu Xingyi heard Lu Hongyuan, his expression became serious, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"

Liu Ying said: "I have seen Lu Hongyuan before, so I am sure I saw it right."

Lu Hongyuan really came to the capital.

The vassal king was not allowed to enter the capital privately without any reason. King Pingnan would not have known it, but he just let Lu Hongyuan come...

The purpose was very clear. He was incited by Lu Xingchuan to come to Beijing to spy on the situation.

No wonder Gu Changling insisted on revealing his reputation as a patricide in order to confuse Lu Hongyuan.

King Pingnan and his father are siblings. As long as King Pingnan believes that he killed his father, King Pingnan will definitely support Lu Xingchuan.

Gu Changling and Lu Xingchuan were really good at planning.

Now he doesn't have much power, but he can still run around without any effort. It turns out that he placed the bet on King Pingnan.

Lu Xingyi said: "Lu Hongyuan is here, so Lu Xingchuan should be nearby too. Didn't you find him?"

Liu Ying shook his head, "No, my subordinates guess that he must have disguised himself."

Lu Xingyi frowned: "Then why doesn't Lu Hongyuan disguise himself?"

"When my subordinates rushed there, Lu Hongyuan was stained with dirt. He happened to come out of the shower. He probably forgot to disguise himself."

Shen Qinglan's disguise skills were impeccable, but she couldn't see the water, so Lu Hongyuan took it off, but Liu Ying happened to see it when he came out.

Lu Xing also mentioned Shen Qinglan, which was enough.

Without her messing around, he would still be unable to catch anyone?

"Since the gangsters are becoming more and more rampant, they burned down the Jokhang Temple and sealed the city gates. Anyone who goes out must be scrutinized. In addition, Prince Pingnan has come to the capital. I should do my best to be a landlord."

"Bring him to the palace and have fun for a while."

After all, the prince is young and can easily be misled. Naturally, it would be better to clarify this misunderstanding in person.

Liu Ying understood and immediately ordered people to "invite" the Crown Prince.

Lu Xingyi said again: "Who ran out, have you found out?"

Liu Ying said: "This is Su Mei, the concubine of the Marquis Wu'an family."

Why did she run away!

He deliberately designed her to be kidnapped, why did she still run away?

Lu Xing also ordered, "If you find Su Mei, kill her. You must kill her, and then find someone else to take her place."

"Yes."

He sat back again, his tone becoming tired, "Is Yiran coming soon?"

"If nothing else, it will be here in two days."

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes."

Shen Qinglan, if you insist on stirring up trouble and helping them hide in disguise, then he will have no choice but to force Shen Qinglan into the open.

The main hall is empty, the curtains are blown lightly by the wind.

Lu Xing also leaned on the dragon chair and remained motionless for a long time, not knowing what to think.

Until a shadow guard came to report that the empress had taken a bath and rested after dinner and had not gone anywhere.

He waved his hand and said, "Continue to keep an eye on Weiyang Palace and don't let go of everyone who comes in and out."

"Yes."

The shadow guard left, and Lu Xingyi slowly closed his eyes.

Jiaojiao, you lied to me too...

When he came to the Imperial Study Room, he ordered people to keep an eye on Jiao Jiao's every move.

Because when Jiaojiao heard that she might have been poisoned, she didn't even ask Sun Yi and Ye Mengruo.

She clearly knew that these two people were the best at bewitching, and she also knew that neither of them should be in the capital.

If she was poisoned, she should ask Ye Mengruo and Sun Yi about her situation. Was there an accident there that caused her to be poisoned?

But her first reaction was to care about the child and she didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Xingyi guessed that Jiaojiao might know something...

But she said nothing.

The setting sun sets on the dragon chair.

The armrests on both sides of the dragon chair are carved with golden dragons circling. The dragon head and body are inlaid with gems of different sizes. Under the waves, they look magnificent and often enchant people's eyes...
