Chapter 985: Pretending to be a decent person
When the little maid passed something into her palm, Wan Shufang began to guess her identity.
However, the aggressive guards made Wan Shufang's guess change, and she mistakenly believed that the maid was a cover sent by Liu Yaoyao.
The purpose is to trick her and make her make the wrong decision in a hurry.
The maidservant suddenly died from a collision with a knife, and the guards were extremely cold and indifferent to her. Wan Shufang had to doubt whether her guess was wrong.
But Chen Changli is not a cruel person, and the secret guards he trained do not need such methods to convey messages for him.
Wan Shufang tore the note into pieces, stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it, but her thoughts were racing.
If the little maid was fine, then the fact that she was determined to commit suicide meant that Prince Rong had been targeted by the Emperor, and that Prince Rong himself knew about it.
In order to avoid danger, he deliberately found a way to stay in the general's mansion.
As a great general feared by the emperor, Chen Changli is definitely having a hard time now.
"Prince Rong is too treacherous." Wan Shufang was thinking wildly, and some bad thoughts came into her mind, and she couldn't help but show some of them on her face.
"What about Liu Yaoyao? What has she been doing recently? Is she deliberately trying to deceive me by being so quiet in Prince Rong's Mansion?"
Wan Shufang felt uneasy and a little unstable.
She wanted to test other people and learn what was happening outside from their mouths.
However, after two days, these people were like stubborn gourds. No matter what topic she brought up, they were like deaf and dumb. They listened to nothing and said nothing.
Even if she found an excuse to look for Liu Yaoyao, she couldn't find her. She could only be trapped in the side yard, like a trapped beast, worrying about what was happening outside.
"We can't go on like this." Wan Shufang poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Not only did the anxiety in her heart not subside, but it became even more intense.
She stroked the teacup with her fingers, wondering what she could do to get out of this predicament.
Before she could figure out what was going on, He Zhiming suddenly came to her and brought her a piece of news.
"The lady that Liu Yaoyao brought back has been getting much better recently. Liu Yaoyao happened to be away, so she found me."
He Zhiming glanced at Wan Shufang subtly, his tone full of sigh.
"She wants to see you through me. In order to prevent you from doing something to hurt her, I will accompany you to find her."
After hearing He Zhiming's last words, Wan Shufang looked at him strangely and said in a puzzled tone: "If that lady wants to see me, she can come to me. Why does she want me to go to her? And she has to let you accompany her."
"Doctor He, you don't suspect that the lady has something to do with me, so you want to monitor us, right?"
She spoke bluntly with the intention of making He Zhiming explain things clearly so as not to let her meet the lady without knowing the whole story.
He Zhiming laughed and said, "Don't you really trust me?"
Wan Shufang said with certainty: "If you were trustworthy, Prince Rong wouldn't have gone so long without seeing me."
"Do you want to see His Royal Highness Prince Rong?" He Zhiming asked in a puzzled manner.
"Prince Rong is the host here, and I can barely be considered a guest. Isn't it normal for a guest to meet the host, or for the host to meet the guest?" Wan Shufang asked back immediately when she saw him pretending.
Choked by these words, He Zhiming didn't know how to refute. After a moment of silence, he said, "The leader of the White Lotus Sect has died. His Majesty has granted her grace. Your husband is organizing her funeral. Your Royal Highness Prince Rong's father had some relationship with the Xu family, so His Majesty specially asked His Royal Highness Prince Rong to send the leader off."
Xu Qinglu died? Upon hearing the news, Wan Shufang's heart was beating wildly. Wan Shufang knew what Xu Qinglu meant better than He Zhiming.
The emperor actually gave her grace. Did he not care about her identity as a traitor? Or did the emperor care about her very much, and that's why he humiliated Chen Changli and Prince Rong in this way.
"Why did your majesty suddenly make such a decision? Your Highness Prince Rong has never met Xu Qinglu, nor has he ever been with her. It seems a bit strange that he is going to see her off."
"What's more, Xu Qinglu is a traitor. It is well known that she helped the remnants of the previous dynasty to rebel. Your Majesty, don't you care about this?"
Wan Shufang felt that she had overlooked something. Noticing that He Zhiming was unhappy, she knew that He Zhiming also disliked the arrangements made by the emperor.
"Your Majesty's mind is as changeable as the weather in June. Who can guess what he is thinking?"
"If anyone could guess his thoughts, you wouldn't be in this situation."
He Zhiming looked at Wan Shufang meaningfully and said with a smile.
His smile was somewhat twisted and strange, as if he was mocking Wan Shufang's wild imagination, and as if he was mocking the emperor's unscrupulous behavior.
Wan Shufang's heart tightened slightly, but she remained calm and said, "I'm not a worm in His Majesty's stomach, so how can I guess what he is thinking? I'm just curious why Prince Rong had to be arranged to have such an accident?"
Glancing at He Zhiming and taking in his indifferent expression, Wan Shufang continued, "My husband once told me that Xu Qinglu was taken away by the White Lotus when she was very young. Her becoming a rebel was both the White Lotus's claim and her choice."
"Even if she came to Luoyang City, she would not stay still. Your Majesty is not very kind-hearted. Xu Qinglu's death might have been your Majesty's intention."
"Prince Rong is a member of the royal family. Why would Your Majesty want to associate him with a traitor? Could it be that you know that Prince Rong has secretly trapped me here?"
Wan Shufang's last sentence was full of tentative meaning. He Zhiming noticed it and said without hesitation: "Prince Rong's lineage is a king of a different surname. Although they are also regarded as royal family or clan, their different surnames are enough to make the current emperor wary and on guard."
"To be honest, the current emperor was quite wise and powerful when he was young, but he has become more and more confused as he gets older. He is not even as good as a hair of the previous emperor."
"Although the late emperor was confused when he was old, he only targeted the Crown Prince Mingde, who he raised, and not the other princes or the royal family. In order for the Great Jing to continue, he could even weigh the pros and cons and select an heir to train again."
When talking about the late emperor, He Zhiming's expression was somewhat sad, as if he was grieving for the late emperor who died early.
"If the current emperor had a bit of the ability of the last emperor, Dajing wouldn't be in such a precarious situation with constant wars."
There was a subtle tone in He Zhiming's voice, and Wan Shufang heard it. She was about to continue talking along the lines of He Zhiming and try to get him to reveal more information, but her idea was instantly stopped.
She deliberately got angry: "Even if your majesty is confused, there is still the Crown Prince in Dajing. No matter how dissatisfied Prince Rong is with your majesty, he should see the Crown Prince and give up the unrealistic thoughts in his heart, instead of pretending to be a decent person on the surface, but doing treasonous things in private."
