Lu Chen stood outside the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, M's cold and meaningful voice kept swirling in his mind - "Go find Leng Yiyao, otherwise, you won't survive this month."
How did he know Leng Yiyao, and how did he know the truth behind this "assassination"
The uneasiness in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. He took a deep breath and looked up, only to see that the guards at the door were motionless.
Even though everyone in the empire now recognizes his face, here in the Marshal's Mansion, it seems that this group of people can shut out anyone as long as they don't have Hemo's consent.
Soon, footsteps sounded inside.
He settled down and listened for a while, then looked up slightly disappointed.
Sure enough, the person who walked out was not Leng Yiyao, but Frei, Hemo's personal guard.
Frey turned a blind eye to the other party's obvious disappointed expression. On the contrary, the expression on his face was slightly apologetic: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Miss Leng said she wanted to change her clothes and come over immediately. Let me take you to the front hall first. .”
Lu Chen paused at his feet...
Get a change of clothes….
What was Frey hinting at
The guards around him seemed expressionless, but almost at the moment Lu Chen lowered his head, everyone took a deep look at Frey, and almost immediately gave Frey a thumbs up from the bottom of their hearts! What you said is so impressive!
Although they stayed in the Marshal's Mansion every day, watching the Marshal watch and eat, the words "change clothes" came out of Frey's mouth, just like the mistress before lazily coming out of the bedroom. , temporarily changing into formal clothes.
When it comes to the art of speaking, I have to praise you as a "big boss"!
"Okay." Lu Chen closed his eyes and seemed not to be ready to ask another question. He just nodded and then followed Frey to the front hall.
When Leng Yiyao changed her clothes and went to the front hall, Frey had just made tea and by the way, helped Leng Yiyao heat up the milk.
"You're looking for me?"
Leng Yiyao glanced at Lu Chen who was holding the teacup. Well, he was quite calm. He didn't look like he suddenly ran over in a panic. So, why did he run out of the palace to look for her at this time? Is there anything that you can't communicate on the phone
Lu Chen raised his head, and at that moment, he looked straight at Leng Yiyao. He wanted to ask how she knew the Ice Domain tribe and how she knew M, but when it came to his lips, it turned out to be another sentence. "You know?" Do you know the truth
Faced with his ridiculous words, Frey couldn't help but frown, a little confused.
Leng Yiyao, on the other hand, didn't need him to finish his words to understand the meaning of these four words. You knew already? Do you know the truth about the assassination in the palace in the early morning
"Well, I understood it when I saw your wound." The armor-piercing bullet only pierced a hole in his body instead of blowing through all his internal organs. What a blessing. What's more, the origin of the bullet is too unusual. Who would murder someone and leave such evidence at the scene
The corners of Lu Chen's lips trembled, and his eyes seemed to suddenly become cold and silent.
It was a kind of sadness that was seen through from beginning to end. Ironically, he thought that he had counterattacked all the weaknesses with this move, but in her eyes, it was clear without even a question. All the ins and outs.
So, no matter how fast he grows, in her eyes, he can only see through it at a glance
M’s words made it so clear. It was because he was familiar enough with Leng Yiyao that M could understand what she was really thinking without her having to say a single word.
So what about yourself? In her eyes, he was just like an idiot. He was obviously making up his mind, but he deliberately didn't tell her the truth.
"I..." Lu Chen held his hands tightly. For a moment, he felt that his dignity as the heir to the royal family for so many years was falling apart. It was a heartfelt feeling of shame, whether as a man or as her admirer, it seemed that even the courage to speak had been withdrawn.
Frey suddenly looked at Lu Chen pitifully. Although this man sometimes had the pride of the royal family, he was not essentially bad. The strange thing is that he is facing an extraordinary person.
Except for his own marshal, he has never seen anyone whose vision and city can compare with Leng Yiyao.
Leng Yiyao actually had no intention of exposing it in person, but now that Lu Chen asked, she wasn't going to hide it. However, she was a little curious as to how this person could react so quickly and she guessed the truth. But that doesn't matter right now.
"Since you're here, you don't have to make a special call to remind you." She tapped her fingertips on the table, and her long black windbreaker was draped behind her back, which made her face even more unearthly. With a touch of indifference overlooking life.
"What?" Lu Chen murmured back, his mind was in chaos.
"Do you still remember when I took you all the way back to the Imperial Capital from City D?" In fact, it wasn't that long ago, it was only about a month or so. At that time, from the female assassin at the gas station, to the ambush and explosion on the road, and even the pursuit and interception along the way, if you take a closer look, most of Lu Chen's entourage died, and it was really not easy to survive. In the end, he relied on his grandfather to arrange a special flight and arrived in the imperial capital as he wished. Unfortunately, his reliable grandfather has now returned to his hometown and is no longer heard from.
"Remember." Lu Chen frowned, not quite understanding why Leng Yiyao suddenly brought up this topic.
"Do you still remember how we split into two groups just before arriving at Karta?" Leng Yiyao smiled. At that time, it was clear that Lu Chen had only ordered a dozen or so of his closest confidants to follow him. However, he encountered two ambushes on the road. Seeing that they were all about to be wiped out, she suggested that they go separately to avoid the target being conspicuous.
At that time, she, the captain of the guard, and two other people were following Lu Chen, and the other four people were in another group.
Lu Chen looked deeply at Leng Yiyao. At that time, they stopped a tour bus on the road. On the highway, they saw two "traffic accidents" along the way. Either someone was overtaking and the vehicle in front was unable to avoid it, causing the two cars to collide, or the car collided at a corner and stalled one after another...
There were no "accidents" along the way, and even the old man on the tour bus couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Can these people know how to drive?"
Yes, can you drive? It turned out that every time there was a car accident, the car model was very similar to the one they were riding in. If they hadn't listened to Leng Yiyao's suggestion and changed to the tour bus, maybe they would have been hit and killed in the car.
"At that time, you reminded me to pay attention to another group of people on the road." Lu Chen's voice became deeper and deeper. At that time, they were divided into two groups. There were five people in their own group, and four people in the other group. , among them, there was the imperial doctor whom my father trusted!
However, his two attendants came down and sat at the windows of the bus, one on the left and the other on the right, watching carefully along the road.
The result is... No trace of the four of them was found!
Logically speaking, the five of them set out last, so if there was a car passing by on that road, they would be able to spot it. But from the time they set off on foot to the time they hitched a ride, the tour bus was the only vehicle passing by, so where did the four of them go...
"I didn't go into detail at that time because I thought you had already remembered it." Leng Yiyao shook her head. Although Lu Chen's trick was indeed equivalent to putting his two uncles on the grill. But his thoughts were obviously not deep enough. At the beginning, she had warned him that he might have already looked beyond the horizon.
"You might as well think about it carefully now." She looked at him deeply.
We split into two teams and found no trace of the other four of them. In fact, there were only two possibilities:
First, there was indeed a spy among the four people who left first. Someone took the opportunity to contact the mastermind behind it, so the other party pursued and intercepted them all the way without stopping.
Second... .
That is, the other party is not all on the same team. If there are two forces behind it among the four people, it will form a situation of mutual restraint. No one wanted to leak the truth first, so everyone got to the imperial capital in peace.
As far as the current situation is concerned, no matter what the two Grand Dukes do, it is like the bearded Grand Duke Lu Yun who comes forward, but in fact, she does not think that the younger Grand Duke Lu Chong is a simple character who picks up the slack.
The most likely scenario is that Grand Duke Lu Chong is taking the opportunity to stir up trouble and pull things off from behind, while his eldest brother has been kept in the dark.
"You mean, my father's imperial doctor was originally a spy?" So, why did the other party know about my father's physical condition so quickly, and why did he attack me when my father was at his weakest
After thinking about it this way, many things that I didn't understand suddenly became clear.
Why did his two uncles uncharacteristically ask the police to investigate that night? That was to root them out completely.
He was the one who was in the same room as the imperial doctor. The next day, the imperial doctor died mysteriously. The place of death was still in the underground palace, and only the orthodox heir could know that underground palace.
Therefore, the death of the imperial doctor was arranged in advance by the other party for the purpose of framing him!
Leng Yiyao smiled. The other party was not too stupid and knew what she was talking about: "Whether it was the female assassin on the way back to the capital, a sniper, or someone in the downtown area who was planning to attack me, they should all be there." It was your uncle and third uncle who teamed up to do it. However, they are also wary of each other. I am afraid that your uncle is just a puppet who thinks he is smart in front of your third uncle." Even being beaten by others When the target is used, you don't even know it. I thought that all these things were just because he arranged them properly. In reality? He was the one who took action openly, and it was his good third brother who cleared the obstacles behind his back and even contributed to the situation unconsciously.
The deceased imperial doctor should have been a traitor in the first place, and his usefulness has been exhausted. The emperor has almost run out of gas, so what is the use of keeping him
According to her speculation, the imperial doctor was an informant who was buried next to the emperor from the beginning. However, the imperial doctor was also a little clever in his heart and never showed his flaws in front of the emperor.
Seeing that when Guard Chief Lu died that night, the emperor was seriously ill and the royal family was in chaos, so he was eager to escape. Who would have thought that he would not escape the sad ending of rabbit death and fox death...
Although in principle, the secret passages and underground palaces should only be known to the prince. But His Majesty's own position had a wrong origin. At the beginning, the old emperor should have told the fourth prince everything about the underground palace. It is not difficult for the two brothers to get some information from a child who is not yet underage.
Using the imperial doctor to directly kill him in the underground palace, and then blaming Lu Chen for it, this kind of trick is so easy that you can even think of it with your eyes closed.
The corners of Lu Chen's lips trembled, and his eyes suddenly blurred as dark as thick ink.
Leng Yiyao could finish the plot and conspiracy hidden in it in just a few words. However, no one could understand how cruel it was for those who lived in that conspiracy.
Leng Yiyao knew that this was the most difficult hurdle to pass. It's like a process of completely denying all your past, completely breaking your soul, and then reorganizing it. Outsiders cannot help or interfere. The more arrogant a person is, the more difficult it is to accept this time.
She shook her head, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Frey's expression pale slightly, and she couldn't help but feel amused.
The news in the military circles is all over the world. It is feared that Frey and Helmer will know exactly what she went through when she brought Lu Chen back to the empire.
Frey was indeed shocked. It was not because he felt the swords and blood in the royal family, but because he thought that when Leng Yiyao followed His Highness Lu Chen all the way from D City to the imperial capital, she had sent him a text message "asking for help". However, the marshal did not agree at the beginning. On the contrary, he seemed extremely cold and asked Miss Leng to "reliance herself."
Frey shuddered. Now that he heard her telling the previous events like a story, for some reason, he felt a chill in his back. I always feel that Miss Leng clearly saw the marshal's attitude back then. If this is a settlement after the fall...
Thinking about it, in addition to the eight-year age difference, there was also such a big "old debt" hanging over him. He suddenly decided to shift the object of sympathy from the eldest prince Lu Chen to his marshal.
Which woman can tolerate her man "doing nothing to save her"
Although, she doesn't need it. However, this is a matter of mind, mind, mind!
Frey wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and wondered whether he should sneak out quietly and report to the marshal to make a plan.
Just as he was slowly retreating, he suddenly heard Leng Yiyao chuckle.
His feet froze, and he thought Leng Yiyao had noticed his movements, but he saw the other party put down the milk in his hand and quietly raised his chin towards Lu Chen: "Since the imperial doctor is a traitor, based on his character, I guess I should have kept evidence to save my life. After all, staying with the emperor as an internal agent is not something ordinary people can do. You might as well search his family background, maybe there will be unexpected surprises."
If a person is willing to do such a life-threatening thing, he must have an agenda. No matter what he wanted, the messenger of the Lord must have promised him a benefit that he could not refuse. Following this line of investigation, the two Grand Dukes were definitely not roasted on the fire rack by Lu Chen now...
Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he suddenly looked at her blankly.
It turns out that everything M said was true. She thinks much more deeply than he does!
