Concubine Rong was stunned for a long time, frowning and not answering.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice beside him: "Is your Majesty going to say that you don't know anything about this matter? I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with you. The Lu Shilang family suffered an unprovoked disaster, I think most of it has something to do with you. Otherwise, it would have nothing to do with you.
How could he be killed so well and his whole family was almost burned to death?"
Concubine Rong glared at Lin Jue and said coldly: "Are you determined to force me to tell the whole truth today? I'm afraid you can't bear it. I advise you not to ask any more questions. Knowing these things will be very helpful to you."
No good at all."
Lin Jue said coldly: "My Lady, do you think I want to know these secrets? If it had nothing to do with Lu Wu at this time, I would not bother to know these things at all. However, this matter is related to Lu Wu's life experience. Lu Wu is doing well.
A family is just gone. Don’t we have the right to intervene? Who has the right to decide a person’s life and death? To decide the direction of a person’s destiny? Do you have this right? No one has the right to decide the life or death of others, and no one can influence others.
Destiny. The things you have done and the mistakes you have made will eventually be dug out and you have to pay the price!"
Concubine Rong said angrily: "Even if I tell you the truth, what do you think? Don't you want to avenge him? Can you avenge him?"
Lin Jue looked at Concubine Rong quietly and said: "Concubine Rong, have you ever sacrificed for others in your life? Have you ever risked your life for others and taken huge risks? Shilang Lu is willing to take huge risks for you. That's his fault."
I have deep love for you. But what have you done for him? Besides causing him harm, what did you give him? He was killed, and you don’t even have the courage to tell the truth. It’s really pathetic. I
I really feel worthless for Mr. Lu. If Mr. Lu knew better, he would definitely regret everything he did for you, because you are completely unworthy of him paying so much for you. You are just a selfish person, and you can’t realize that you have devoted yourself wholeheartedly to you.
The joy of others giving.”
Concubine Rong's face turned pale, she stared at Lin Jue for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "It's not your turn to judge the matter between Lu Feiming and me. It's a matter between me and him, so who do you think you are? Why?
Who are you qualified to accuse me? But since you want to know so much, I will go out of my way to tell you everything today. I hope you will not regret it."
Lin Jue sneered and didn't answer. Lu Wu held Lin Jue's hand nervously. She wanted to know what happened at home ten years ago, but she also felt faintly panicked. The feeling of tearing open the scar again was really scary.
and pain.
Concubine Rong reached out and grabbed the tea cup on the table, raised her neck and drank all the tea. She drank like a vulgar woman in the market, with tea dripping from the corner of her mouth. She stretched out her sleeves to wipe it off randomly, completely losing her usual elegance.
"...I don't know how things got to that point, and I didn't want it to happen. But, it happened. How could I stop it? I have indeed spent a few years since I had... my son.
Peaceful life. Although I feel sorry for Lu Wu, after having a son, the prince treats me really differently. My status in the prince's mansion has also increased. Guo Hao... is smart and makes the prince happy. He can recite at the age of three.
In many poems and poems, the prince would take him with him wherever he went, and would show off to everyone he met. But... some things are not as good as God's. The older the child grows, the less his face and appearance look like the prince's. Originally, I
After having a son, I became jealous, and Concubine Mei and the others hated me to the core. So soon, there were rumors in the palace that Guo Hao was not the prince's son. Someone was secretly investigating what happened the night I gave birth to my son. What I knew about that night
In fact, the only people who knew about it were the Princess Wen and Lu Fei Ming. I killed Po Wen and the maid that night, and they couldn’t prove it even if they tried to find out. I know that the Princess and Mr. Lu would never say anything. These people are really like flies.
They kept staring at me and refused to let me live in peace. I wanted to kill them all. Unfortunately, I could only watch them investigate behind my back, and could only turn a blind eye to the rumors."
Concubine Rong gritted her teeth, her eyes flashed with hatred, and the expression on her face began to distort.
Lin Jue frowned. There is no airtight wall in the world, and there are no eternal secrets. If you search carefully, there will always be clues to follow. Now that the news has come out, I am afraid that the prince will also become suspicious.
Sure enough, Concubine Rong continued softly: "What worries me even more is that the prince also has doubts. He often stares at Guo Hao's face carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. I think he must also feel that the child is indeed
It's not quite like him. I can only ask people to tell him how this child looks like him, so that he can feel at ease. But I can feel the doubts in his heart. If I wasn't perfect when I married him, I'm afraid
He had already begun to question me. But even so, I knew that the doubts in his heart were getting stronger day by day. One day, I overheard him talking to himself to Guo Hao. He said that Guo Hao was very...
Like a person, he said, I hope your mother has done nothing wrong to me, otherwise, he will tear our mother and son into pieces..."
Concubine Rong's body was trembling slightly, and her voice was dry and hoarse. Now that she recalled the day she heard these words, she was still sweating on her back, and she was still terrified.
"...I was scared to death. Although he didn't name the person, I knew who he was talking about. He was talking about Lu Feiming. They had met before, and he also knew that Lu Feiming and I had been engaged before.
The child became more and more like Lu Feiming, and he began to have doubts. I lived like a frightened bird. Whenever Guo Hao behaved like Lu Feiming, I would scold him and not allow him to do such actions. I
I deliberately asked him to walk and talk like the prince, hoping to dispel his doubts. But all this was in vain. I could see that the child looked more and more like Lu Feiming, as if he was carved from the same mold.
Moreover, Concubine Mei sent people to find clues secretly. Someone saw Lu Feiming appearing outside the back door of the Prince's Mansion that night and lingering there for a long time. Concubine Mei thought there must be some article here. The maid I placed in Concubine Mei's room
Telling me this news, I was almost scared to death. I knew that the matter could not be hidden for long. Hey! After all, it is the cleverness that leads to the misunderstanding of the cleverness. How could I hide this kind of thing? I was too stupid. I didn’t do it in the first place.
That’s what should be done…”
Concubine Rong lowered her head and sighed, her body huddled in the chair. Her whole body looked weak and weathered, withered and thin. There was no trace of the concubine's grace, luxury, and aloofness.
After all, Lu Wu had a soft heart. When she heard that the situation was so urgent, she asked nervously: "My dear, what should you do? It would be terrible if they found out."
A smile appeared on Concubine Rong's pale face, and she said softly: "My son, thank you very much. You can worry about my mother, and she is very happy."
Lu Wu said softly: "You are not my mother, don't call me that."
Concubine Rong sighed softly, sat up straight, and said softly: "I won't force you. Regardless of whether you recognize me or not, I am your mother. This is a fact. Lin Jue can testify, and many people can testify."
Lu Wu frowned and said nothing. Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Madam, please continue talking. How should you deal with that situation? I think you have no one to turn to, I'm afraid you have to go to it.
Mr. Lu has discussed it."
A look of surprise appeared on Concubine Rong's face. Lin Jue was really smart, he had already guessed her behavior.
"Yes, I have no one to discuss with. At that time, Sister Akui...oh, the princess...she was in Hangzhou, and I had no one to turn to for help. No one could tell him about this matter, and no one could help me.
I had no choice but to take the risk and go to Lu Feiming to discuss it. I met Lu Feiming in Changuang Temple on the pretext of going to the temple to burn incense. I told him my situation and wanted to ask him what I should do. He told me,
He actually felt that something was wrong. Because for more than half a year, there were people spying around his mansion. There were also people who asked some questions intentionally or unintentionally, as if they wanted to take something out of his mouth. He felt that sooner or later, the prince would
I will come and ask him these questions in person. He also feels worried, but there is nothing he can do."
"That day, we talked in the Zen room for more than an hour, but we couldn't reach an outcome, so I had to go back home. But who knew that two days later, the bad news came that he was actually killed after having a banquet at night.
When I heard about this, I was like a thunderbolt. It wasn't that I didn't want to save him, but when I learned the news, something had happened to him, and there was a fire in his house. It was said that everyone died in the house. I was very sad and sad.
Besides, what else can we do? I have also sent people to check your whereabouts, but found nothing. There is nothing I can do in the prince's residence."
Concubine Rong burst into tears, her face was sad, and she began to cry sadly.
Lu Wu burst into tears, covering her face and crying. Although she already understood in her heart that Lu Feiming was not her biological father, she remembered her father's kindness to her. Although the memory was very blurry, the emotional bond she had when she was a child was still there.
I couldn't help but shed tears.
Lin Jue frowned and thought. He felt that there were many unreasonable things in Concubine Rong's narrative. According to Concubine Rong's narration, she seemed to want to lead the matter to the prince. She seemed to want to express that it was the prince who
Suspicion arose, so he sent people to kill Lu Feiming, and burned down Lu Feiming's house to destroy the family. If it was the prince who did it, it means that the prince had determined that Lu Feiming and Concubine Rong were having an affair, and Guo Hao was not his biological son.
.If that's the case, it is understandable to kill Lu Feiming to vent his anger, and it is reasonable to destroy Lu Feiming's whole family. However, if it was the prince who did it, how could Mrs. Lu be allowed to escape from the capital with Lu Wu and another pair of children? The prince
It is absolutely impossible for his subordinates to act in such a sloppy manner.
This was actually Lin Jue's biggest doubt when he heard that Ma Bin and Shen Tan found out what happened to Lu Shilang's death. Assuming that the incident was done by the prince, no one in Lu Feiming's family would be spared. How could such a thing leave a living person and cause trouble?
, with Guo Chong’s character, how could he allow Lu Feiming’s wife and children to survive. That was the biggest insult to him. Therefore, for a long time, Lin Jue firmly believed that this matter was definitely not the work of the prince, no matter what
There are huge loopholes in both human nature and methods.
In Lin Jue's mind, it seemed like someone deliberately opened the door and let Madam Lu escape with Lu Wu and others. This feeling has been lingering in Lin Jue's mind.
