Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Mu Qingli didn't say anything, staring blankly at the familiar handsome face, calm and composed. The pair of eyes that used to be frivolous now contained a frightening cold light.

The strong and calm self-control soon infected him.

He just felt that every move of Lu Zhanxing deeply attracted him.

Just like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples, the shock in his heart was far more profound than the ripples.

Sensing Mu Qingli's gaze, Lu Zhanxing looked over. Mu Qingli immediately lowered her eyes and avoided him. Reason told her not to have any improper thoughts about Mr. Lu, but her heart couldn't help wanting to get to know her better.

Lu Zhanxing didn't notice Mu Qingli's complicated expression, thinking that he was still blaming himself, and patted his shoulder: "Things are not what you want, don't blame yourself, just stay here for now, my cousin and Princess Yaoguang will cover for you, and I will handle the rest."

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Mu Qingli's response.

Mu Qingli looked at her back as she left, and her heart was deeply touched. It was the first time that someone walked in front of her to protect her from the wind and rain. This feeling... made her feel extremely safe!

He lowered his eyes and laughed lightly, then pinched his eyebrows in pain. What should he do?

Mr. Lu is too charming. If he does that a few more times, I won’t be able to resist it sooner or later!

Lu Zhanxing didn't know that he, as a man, was going to turn another man gay. She returned to her tent. Bai Jing saw that her young master had returned, so she consciously stood guard at the door and made eye contact with the guards, forcing the guard to look away.

After returning to the tent, Lu Zhanxing thought over his plan several times. Now the only thing he needed to do was to send a message back home to reassure his grandfather, or even send A'li away. The only one who could help him was Princess Yaoguang.

I just don’t know if Emperor Qian has sent someone to inform my grandfather, so she has to make preparations for both scenarios.

She was thinking of countermeasures, but the people arranged by Emperor Qian had already rushed to the capital with the purpose of informing the old Duke of the truth of what happened in the hunting ground.

Duke Anguo's Mansion

The old Duke has been in good health and full of energy recently. Huali said that the old Duke can maintain this condition for at least a year.

But today a young eunuch came, and upon learning that it was sent by the young master, the gatekeeper did not dare to be negligent and immediately went to Mo Yun Hall to report.

The old Duke's face darkened, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. What happened in the enclosure? Why did they send a little eunuch?

Although the dark cloud in his heart could not be shaken off, if his two grandsons got into trouble during the hunting, he would be the only one who could save them, so he must not panic.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Bring the person in!"

Soon, an inconspicuous eunuch was led into Mo Yun Hall, entered the inner room, and saw the old Duke lying on the bed.

He knelt on the ground immediately and said, "Your humble servant pays respect to the Duke."

"Who sent you here?"

"My Lord, it's the Second Young Master Lu. I was guarding the outer perimeter of the hunting ground, so I came here safely to report the news. This is the Second Young Master Lu's token."

The old Duke saw a folding fan, which his little grandson loved to play with the most. He asked Manager Yu to take it over and checked the fan, confirming that it was indeed his grandson's.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the old Duke believed him, the young eunuch said, "Master Lu was imprisoned for attempting to assassinate His Majesty during a hunt. Second Young Master Lu is in danger, so she asked me to sneak out and deliver a message to you. Please find a way to save Master Lu."

The young eunuch eloquently explained the whole story.

"What?" After hearing what happened, the old Duke was stunned and looked at the young eunuch: "My grandson tried to assassinate His Majesty?"

"Yes, on the first day of the hunt, Miss Lu San had an argument with Princess Ningyang, and Princess Ningyang's horse crushed her legs. Your Majesty did not punish Princess Ningyang, and Prince Lu might have been unwilling to accept it, so he did this heinous act. There are witnesses and evidence.

Now, Prince Lu has been taken to the Ministry of Justice to wait for His Majesty to return and deal with him. Now Second Young Master Lu has also been restricted in his freedom. Only you can save them."

What? His third granddaughter had her legs crushed by Princess Ningyang?

Changsun was imprisoned for assassinating His Majesty?

Is the little grandson’s freedom restricted?

Instantly, the Duke's blood boiled, and he could only shout in a trembling voice: "Asshole!"

The young eunuch didn’t know whether the old Duke was scolding Princess Ningyang, the two brothers of Prince Lu, or His Majesty?

He was just a messenger, and it had nothing to do with him.

Manager Yu saw that the old Duke looked strange, and the next second he saw that the Duke was so angry that he vomited blood and finally fainted. For the old and frail Duke, this was a fatal blow. He didn't know if he could wake up safely after this fainting.

"Huali, Liuxu, come quickly and heal the Duke..."

The two women were originally guarding in the side hall of Mo Yun Hall. When they heard Manager Yu's call, they immediately went into the inner room. Huali gave the old duke acupuncture with a silver needle, while Liuxu felt the old duke's pulse. She was startled at first, and then wiped the blood off the old duke as if nothing had happened.

Huali said anxiously, "The Duke was so angry that he vomited blood. I'm afraid he won't have much time left. Although I have protected the Duke's heart with acupuncture, there is nothing I can do. For now, we should let the prince and his men come back as soon as possible..."

"What should I do?" Chief Steward Yu was so anxious that he turned around and around: "I will go find the Second Master."

The Crown Prince and the Second Young Master were not there, so he could only think of Lu Jin. Manager Yu left in a hurry.

The young eunuch who came to deliver the message had a flickering expression. He already knew the old Duke's situation and said, "I can't leave for too long. I'll take my leave first!"

After everyone had left, only the two women and the old duke were left.

The old Duke, who had just been in danger, slowly opened his cloudy eyes.

"My Lord, how do you feel?"

Although Liu Xu had just taken the old Duke's pulse and knew that he was not really fainted, the vomiting of blood was real, and she could not help but worry.

The old Duke said slowly: "You did a great job!"

It was true that he was furious, after all, his eldest grandson and his younger grandson and granddaughter were in trouble. He fainted just to show the little eunuch. Although he didn't fully understand his little grandson, she was as filial as his eldest grandson and cared more about the Anguo Mansion family.

No matter how big the disaster is, they will not bother an old man like me who is bedridden, because they all understand that as long as I am alive, His Majesty will not dare to deal with the Anguo Mansion at will.

Although the eldest grandson was captured and could not inform the enemy, the youngest grandson was extremely smart. Even if he needed to find someone to inform the enemy, it would not be an unknown eunuch. Even if it was someone, there should be a secret letter or secret words hidden in the folding fan, right?

To take a step back, even if they found someone to tip off, they would not ask for help directly, but would give them a direction to seek the greatest benefit for their grandson.

It must be said that her little grandson's being a playboy was indeed deeply rooted in people's minds, and Emperor Qian actually ignored her completely.

Do you think your little grandson would be so stupid as to just ask someone to send a token of love to you and make you angry to death with just a few words?

It’s just a ridiculous dream!

At this time, Lu Jin and Luo Shi also rushed over: "Dad, how are you?"

Seeing this youngest son, the old duke got a headache. Why is this youngest son not smart at all?

Never mind, at least there is still the advantage of being filial.
