By the time Lu Qu and the others arrived at the Red Garden, the guards from the General's Mansion had already surrounded the entire Red Garden.

The guests and girls were all frightened and didn't know what was happening. They were silent for a moment, and the originally lively Red Garden fell into an eerie silence.

"Do you, the Lu family, want to rebel?"

Seeing Lu Pingdan and the others arriving, a court official spoke.

As soon as these words came out, as if a fuse was lit, other people with prominent backgrounds also started shouting.

"That's right, why do you Lu family surround Hongyuan?"

"Is the Lu family relying on the general's power?"

"Lu Pingdan, who gave you the courage to surround us all?"

"Why can't I leave here?"

……

All of a sudden, everyone was talking and it was very noisy.

Just as Lu Pingshan was about to make a move, Lu Qu took the lead and knocked the ground heavily with his sword. His eyes swept across the crowd with a stern expression.

"The Madam of Hongyuan murdered my unmarried wife and now hides the body in Hongyuan. In order to prevent further trouble, I will let you go when I find the body.

But before that, I hope you all will stay quiet. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! "

As soon as he finished speaking, someone spoke.

"Lu Pingdan, are you just going to let your son do whatever you want? Believe it or not, I will report it to the Holy Emperor and take a copy of your Lu family's book to punish you for treason!"

The person who spoke was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and he was very senior in the court.

"Nonsense?" Lu Pingdan looked over and stared, "My son's fiancée was killed, is this nonsense?

Besides, we are just trying to find the body and catch the murderer, so it won't have any impact on you. Lord Shangshu, please stop yelling. "

"you…"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue choked up. Even though Lu Pingdan was usually easy to talk to, if he got into a hurry, there was almost no one who could resist him.

"Where's the madam?"

Lu Qu scanned the crowd and found that there was no sign of the madam.

The guards on the side immediately grabbed a girl and pulled her to Lu Qu.

"I...I...I don't know where my mother...went. General, spare your life!"

The girl was so frightened that her body couldn't stop trembling.

"Go and search, dig three feet into the ground, and find her for me! If you find her, catch her immediately!"

Just as Lu Qu finished giving the order, he heard someone shouting.

"Fire! There's a fire! Put out the fire!"

He looked up and saw thick smoke billowing from the fourth floor, and there was already a fire.

"Oops!"

Lu Qu cursed secretly, dropped the sword in his hand, and rushed upstairs regardless.

Lu Ping was shocked and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Song Huaiqing.

"Old General Lu, let me go."

This fight is getting a bit loud. I believe people from the government will come soon, and Lu Pingdan will have to stay and take charge.

After saying that, Song Huaiqing also rushed upstairs.

"Master!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Fangchi quickly shook off Liu Yunmeng and followed him.

"Why are you still standing there, putting out the fire!"

Lu Pingdan shouted.

Hearing this, the guards hurriedly took action.

The fire was started in the madam's room. Combined with the fact that the madam was nowhere to be seen, it didn't take much to figure out that she was the one who set the fire.

"Cough cough."

The thick smoke made Song Huaiqing cough uncontrollably and made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Qu ran very fast, and the smoke filled the air, and he could no longer be seen.

"Master, I checked and found nothing. I don't know where the secret room mechanism is hidden. Now the situation is urgent. We have to find the bustard first."

Xiao Fangchi said, silently grabbing the corner of Song Huaiqing's clothes, for fear of losing him.

"you…"

Song Huaiqing turned his head and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a cough and a cry for help coming from the left front.

It was a female voice, probably the Madam.

Sure enough, the two of them followed the sound and saw the madam huddled in the corner.

"Help...help..."

The madam's bun has all come loose. She may have inhaled a lot of smoke and looked like she was about to faint.

Xiao Fangchi stepped forward and slipped away, "Tell me, where is Wen Yuer's body?"

"I have no idea."

"Not telling the truth?"

Xiao Fangchi said as he prepared to throw the madam out.

"I said!" The madam was shocked, "Yes, the trap is under my bed."

Song Huaiqing was heartbroken.

No wonder Xiao Fangchi couldn't find it. He hid the mechanism under the bed board and covered it with bedding. Normally he wouldn't think of checking the bed board.

Moreover, time was urgent, and Xiao Fangchi did not have much time to investigate carefully.

"You take her out first, and I'll go find Lu Qu."

The fire has become much smaller and will probably be extinguished soon. It is not dangerous to go inside now.

After saying that, Song Huaiqing went straight in without waiting for Xiao Fangchi's reaction.

His movements were so fast that Xiao Fangchi had no time to stop him. He could only give the madam a cold glance, and then reluctantly went downstairs.

After a while, the fire was completely extinguished.

Song Huaiqing and Lu Qu also successfully entered the secret room.

In the center of the secret room, there is an ice coffin.

"Yu'er..."

Lu Qu swayed slightly and walked towards the ice coffin. His steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he walked very slowly.

Finally, he walked to the ice coffin and saw the face he had thought about day and night.

Wen Yuer's body was placed in an ice coffin and did not rot.

The face of the person in the ice coffin was peaceful. Except for his extremely pale face, he looked like he was asleep.

"Yu'er..."

Lu Qu stood quietly in front of the ice coffin, his eyes full of sadness. His heart seemed to be torn apart, and the endless despair enveloped him.

The person he once loved deeply, the person who once illuminated his life, was now lying alone in this ice coffin.

His mind flashed back to the happy times they had had, and those beautiful memories seemed so far away.

He once promised to protect her and give her happiness, but now, she has left forever, and he is powerless.

Lu Qu's body trembled and he let out a shrill cry, as if he was pouring out the pain deep in his heart.

He knelt down as if he was out of strength, and stroked Wen Yu'er's cheek as gently as he did before. His lips trembled as he softly called Wen Yu'er's name.

Wen Yuer's cheeks were icy and cold. She didn't answer him either.

Lu Qu could no longer suppress his sadness, and tears poured out like floods bursting from a dam.

At first it was a suppressed, choked cry, and the sound gradually became louder and later turned into a howl.

"Yu'er... I'm late. Please, please open your eyes and take a look at me." Lu Qu cried until his eyes were red and his face was full of tears, like a child who lost his beloved toy. "I was wrong, yes I'm late, I beg you to wake up..."

Looking at Wen Yuer's lifeless face, Lu Qu was devastated. He stretched out his trembling hands and gently brushed her cold cheek, trying to warm the skin that had lost its color. But no matter how hard he tried, the warm touch could never return to his fingertips.

His heart seemed to be torn apart, and he was in agony. Tears fell uncontrollably and fell on her pale face.

He choked with sobs and called Wen Yu'er's name again and again.
