After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 137 Fang Yuemei Arrives in Beijing

"It's okay if Fourth Brother hears it, as long as others don't know." Wen Chengxuan didn't seem to care. "Besides, I've always been like this. It's okay if I don't have a share in the throne, but as long as there is a chance, I will definitely fight for it. They know that, and even if it comes to the court, I can explain it clearly."

Wen Chenghua sighed.

Even when his sixth brother fought for the throne, he did it openly and honestly and never engaged in any conspiracy behind the scenes. However, it was this style of behavior that made it easier for others to find fault with him.

It is because His Majesty is kind-hearted and unwilling to harm his brothers, otherwise he would not be alive today.

Seeing that his fourth brother just sighed and didn't say anything, Wen Chengxuan knew that he had upset him again, so he pursed his lips and stopped yelling.

Wen Chenghua didn't want to say more. At such a sensitive moment, saying one more word would be a fatal sin, and no one was exempt.

But he couldn't persuade his sixth brother, so he could only reason with him in other ways.

"Think about the last time, the capital was also in chaos, but what was the final result?"

That was all he had to say.

Wen Chengxuan thought about the last banquet for officials. He heard that there was chaos in the palace, the empress dowager and the emperor were both seriously ill, and the government was in jeopardy. So he summoned troops to Beijing, intending to seize the throne in the chaos.

But who would have expected that it was a trap. Fortunately, he reacted in time and killed the woman who bewitched and deceived him, thus saving his life.

Thinking about it now, I’m really scared.

A chill rose up behind Wen Chengxuan.

Not only did he shiver, he also subconsciously said "cold".

The follower looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and thought to himself, how could it be cold in such weather?

……

Mu Xiaoxiao came back from Jiangzhou early and brought someone with her.

Yuan Qing was shocked when he saw that man.

She walked forward and took a closer look before asking, "Is it Fang Yuemei?"

The woman nodded and opened her mouth, but no words came out.

She pointed to her throat and said silently "sorry".

Yuan Qing hurriedly invited them in.

Mu Xiaoxiao helped Fang Yuemei sit down and said to Yuan Qing, "She was like this when I returned to Jiangzhou. Then I took her pulse and found that the poison in her body had worsened, and..."

Yuan Qing stared at her nervously.

Mu Xiaoxiao's throat rolled, and her voice was not as clear as before, "She was also infected with the Yin Yang Gu."

Yuan Qing looked at Fang Yuemei in surprise.

Fang Yuemei bit her lip, took out a piece of paper and pen, and wrote: [Someone came to see me.]

Yuan Qing clenched his hands, "Who is it?"

Fang Yuemei suddenly raised her head, her pale face showing unconcealed anger: [Those who killed my sister]

Yuan Qing was shocked. Did they find out so quickly? !

Fang Yuemei kept her head down as she wrote. She had a lot to say but she couldn't open her mouth. Her handwriting was fast and messy.

[Just after you left, a man suddenly broke into my room and said he wanted to tell me the cause of my sister's death. He lied to me and said you were the culprits. In order to avenge my sister, I deliberately followed his words and pretended to hate you. Then he fed me a poisonous insect and told me to lurk around you and do things for him. I didn't dare to resist, so I could only watch the insect enter my body.]

She seemed to remember that scene, and couldn't help the nausea in her heart. She turned over and lay on the mat, vomiting.

Mu Xiaoxiao handed her a handkerchief and poured her some water. "Don't think about it for now. Drink some water to calm your nerves."

"When did you get poisoned?" A man suddenly spoke behind the crowd.

Yuan Qing immediately turned around and found that it was Lu Zhao who had disappeared for many days.

He came out of the secret passage and heard this as soon as he came out.

Fang Yuemei looked at him blankly and stretched out six fingers.

It has been six days since I was poisoned.

Lu Zhao's brows relaxed.

Yuan Qing pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Do you have a solution?"

"I'm not sure if it will work, after all, I haven't done any experiments before." Lu Zhao said, "Now I have a live Yang Gu worm in my hand. Whether she is willing to do it depends on her own willingness."

Hearing his words, Yuan Qing's heart suddenly relaxed.

She saw Lu Zhao off, went back to the room and sat down in front of Fang Yuemei.

"I have a method. Although it cannot get rid of the poisonous insect, it can free you from its control. What do you think?"

Fang Yuemei looked up suddenly.

Just now, Lu Zhao told her that the Yin Yang Gu cannot stay in the body for more than one month, otherwise it will take root in the bones and will be impossible to remove.

But now the court is in turmoil, and Lu Zhao has heavy responsibilities, so he cannot show up at this time, so he can only delay the time.

Fang Yuemei didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better.

She stared at Yuan Qing blankly and asked again unsurely, "Really?"

Yuan Qing nodded: "Really."

After settling Fang Yuemei, Mu Xiaoxiao went back into the room and sat down next to Yuan Qing.

"Although Lu Si exposed the crime in time and proved Lu Jiankang, she still had a crime she couldn't escape. And for Madam Lu, she took the three-year sentence on herself. Madam Lu was only charged with imprisonment in the mansion, which was a bargain for her!"

"It can't be helped. No matter what Madam Lu is like, she is still Lu Si's biological mother. Filial piety has always been the most important thing. It has happened before that a son has suffered for his mother." Yuan Qing nodded. "Although Lu Si is a good girl, she has to take on the responsibilities she should take on. There are many hardships on the road, and she is a girl. Her cousin Lu Mu is my friend, so I should take care of her."

"This subordinate has already considered this and sent people to follow her secretly. Unless her life is in danger, the people in the dark will not dare to interfere until she completes her sentence."

Yuan Qing said: "You have thought of this before."

Mu Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly, "Besides that, I have something else to tell my master."

Yuan Qing raised his head.

"The eldest daughter of the Lu family has gone."

Yuan Qing hurriedly asked her, "How did you get there?"

Mu Xiaoxiao told her the whole story.

"It is said that the magistrate ordered his servants to detain Lü Pan in advance in order to protect himself. When the verdict came down, he secretly ordered his men to force Lü Pan to commit suicide and then threw him back at the door of the Lü family."

Yuan Qing clenched his fingers, "Hasn't the county magistrate also been convicted?"

"That's right," Mu Xiaoxiao paused, "but unfortunately, the eldest young master's wife also returned to the Lu family that day."

Yuan Qing immediately stood up, walked closer and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
