Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 437 Leaving Beijing (3)

“I heard that Mrs. Lu’s secret guards were wiped out overnight. Mrs. Lu fell seriously ill out of anger and now goes to Zhuangzi to recuperate. Is this true?” Wen Shucheng suddenly spoke.

 Originally, raising secret guards was not allowed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Lu Mansion was an exception.

At that time, King Annan sent hundreds of dead soldiers to assassinate the emperor, and many guards in the palace died under the swords of the dead soldiers.

Later, Lu Yuan had no choice but to bring the secret guards of Lu Mansion to fight against King Annan's dead soldiers, thus saving the emperor's life.

To outsiders, it may seem like they have no choice, but people who are familiar with Lu Yuan know that he did it on purpose. He chose to expose the secret guards of the Lu family at that very moment. By then, if they have successfully escorted them, the emperor will know that the Lu family is keeping secrets. Wei, don’t blame him.

As expected, the emperor allowed this and even issued an order allowing the Lu Mansion to train a large number of secret guards.

Therefore, if word spread that Mrs. Lu’s secret guards were wiped out overnight, no one would go to the emperor to read a book about the Lu family and his son.

Lu Yuan raised his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile, "I asked someone to dispose of the body. Do you think it's true?"

Wen Shucheng just looked at his expression and understood everything in his heart.

He pointed at him in astonishment and said: "Hey, Fourth Brother, to be honest, you shouldn't be the culprit, right?"

I just heard Lu Yuan say calmly: "My grandmother has been in charge of the Lu Mansion for many years and is tired. I just want her to live in peace and contentment."

Wen Shucheng raised his eyebrows, "With the temperament of the old lady, there is no way that she would be willing to leave the Lu Mansion and go to Zhuangzi to recuperate. Could it be that you were the one who caused the trouble?"

Lu Yuan glanced at him lightly and said, "There are some things that just need to be seen through. Don't ask too many questions."

Wen Shucheng touched his nose and didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Yuan has been resenting Mrs. Lu for many years. Wen Shucheng was not surprised that he would take action.

 But, after enduring it for so many years,...what is the reason for suddenly taking action? He was curious.

 Could it be... Wen Shucheng glanced in the direction of the carriage where Gu Panxia was sitting, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

“Isn’t that guy Lin Yan going to Qingyou Town? Why haven’t he seen anyone yet?”

Jiyue looked around for a long time, but still couldn't see Lin Yan's figure, so she couldn't help but smile.

Lu Yuan Yingfeng listened carefully, and his expression suddenly changed, "No, the third child is in danger!"

Before he finished speaking, the whip in his hand was thrown heavily on Chi Huo. Chi Huo was in pain and ran forward with a long cry.

Wen Shucheng reined in the horse's rope and said to Jiyue: "Jiyue, you and Zhao Bin are in charge of this place. The fourth child and I will go over and take a look."

Jiyue nodded and said in a deep voice: "Be more careful!"

Wen Shucheng nodded, flicked his whip, and the sound of horse hooves disappeared instantly.

In the carriage, Gu Panxia, ​​who had been concentrating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and saw that Lu Qi and Yanqi had fallen asleep. She moved gently and opened the curtain to take a look. In addition to her tense face and alert eyes, she saw Except for Ji Yue and Zhao Bin, the rest of the people have long since disappeared.

"Don't worry, Miss Gu. With the young master here, nothing will happen."

 Gu Panxia nodded. She wanted to take a look, but she was afraid that someone would make a surprise attack and accidentally hurt Zhou and Gu Dahai.

 She has already lost them once and doesn’t want to lose them a second time.

“Jiyue, Zhao Bin, you should also go and help. I’m here and there won’t be any trouble.”

Ji Yue shook her head, "No, if someone attacks you, how can you come here alone? Besides, if something happens to you, won't that boy A Yuan want to pluck out our skins?"

 Compared to Ji Yue's worries, Zhao Bin seemed much more relieved.

“Miracle Doctor Ji Yue, let’s go and have a look too. Just leave this to Miss Gu.”

 His responsibility is to be responsible for Lu Yuan's safety. Of course, he also fully believes in Gu Panxia's ability.
