Another point that puzzled Lin Jue was: if the prince suspected that Lu Feiming and Concubine Rong were having an affair, or even had a child, even if he would not publicize the matter because he wanted to keep the family scandal in public, his attitude towards Concubine Rong would definitely be
It was extremely cold. In fact, Concubine Rong's status did not decrease, nor did she fall out of favor. After Guo Chong ascended the throne, he also gave her the title of Imperial Concubine, which was an extremely honorable matter. Even for the sake of the Queen Mother.
, Guo Chong is unlikely to endure such humiliation. Who can be so open-minded in a different place? This is obviously unhuman and logical.
Concubine Rong deliberately brought this matter to the prince. In Lin Jue's view, it was obviously to hide something.
"Concubine Rong, according to you, who did this? Does it sound like it was the prince?" Lin Jue asked in a deep voice.
Wei Yourong's eyes flickered and she wiped her tears and said: "I...I don't know, I don't know anything. How could I know who it is? Maybe...maybe it's him. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else."
After doing this, Lu Feiming has no quarrels with anyone and no enemies, so who would want to kill him? I really can’t understand."
Lin Jue frowned and said softly: "Concubine Rong, do you want to hear my thoughts? I think there is another mystery."
Wei Yourong said in a panic: "What do you know?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "It's just a guess. Do you want to hear it?"
Wei Yourong said obediently: "You can just say what you want. You don't know the inside story, but you can't make random guesses. The court has not found out who the murderer is after three years of investigation, so how can you guess it?"
"
Lin Jue looked at Concubine Rong and became even more sure that there was something fishy about this matter. Based on the relationship between Wei Yourong and Lu Feiming, she should really want to know the truth about Lu Feiming's death. However, her performance seemed to be unreasonable.
He was willing to listen to Lin Jue mention this matter more and wanted to explain it away vaguely. This only increased Lin Jue's suspicion.
"As it relates to the death of Lu Wu's father, I have to think more about it. I think it is unlikely that the prince will kill Lu Feiming. If the prince goes to the point of killing people, doesn't it mean that he already knows the whole inside story. But what about the empress?
Can you live in peace? And if the prince takes action, he will definitely eradicate the roots with the fury of thunder. How can Mrs. Lu escape from the capital with Lu Wu and two younger children?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Wei Yourong panicked and shouted: "How do I know? You ask me who should I ask? I said, I am just guessing. I can only suspect that it was him. As for the doubts you mentioned, how do I know the reasons?
"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Why should Concubine Rong be so excited? I just raised my suspicions, not asking for an explanation. In my opinion, the death of Mr. Lu... is probably a suicide."
"What?" Lu Wu shouted in surprise.
"Suicide? This...I don't know...I don't know if that's the case. What do you think?" Concubine Rong was also a little surprised, but there was some happiness in her surprise.
"Think about it, Mr. Lu has a deep love for the empress. The empress was in a crisis, so she went to Mr. Lu to find a way. But he couldn't think of a good way. In order to save the empress from the crisis, Mr. Lu probably had the only choice
One way is to cut off the possibility of the prince finding out the truth. If the prince finds him and forces him to tell the truth, he may be tortured and it will be difficult to resist. Only one death will be solved once and for all, and this secret will be forever.
Buried in his heart. Although the prince has suspicions, he has no way to prove it, so he can only give up. The empress will be saved." Lin Jue pinched his chin and said.
Concubine Rong and Lu Wu were both silent.
Lin Jue continued: "Given Lu Shilang's infatuation for Concubine Rong, it is reasonable for him to take the huge risk of having a baby for Concubine Rong, and to sacrifice his life for Concubine Rong. He protected Concubine Rong with his death. Concubine felt that this
Isn’t that reasonable?”
Concubine Rong frowned and said: "I...I don't know, maybe...what you said makes sense. It is indeed possible for Lu Feiming to do this. He is indeed sincere to me. If he really committed suicide, I can't completely disbelieve it.
.But if this is the case, my conscience will be greatly disturbed. He treats me like this, and I will repay him in the next life...the next life."
Lin Jue laughed and said softly: "Do you agree with my guess?"
Concubine Rong smacked her lips and said, "I don't really believe it, but your analysis makes sense. I know Lu Feiming. He will indeed do such a thing. Maybe it is really the case..."
"My Majesty is really able to speak to the point. Then I ask your Majesty, if it was suicide, why did Mr. Lu die tragically on the street with more than a dozen stabs in his body? What happened to the fire in the Lu Mansion? He didn't have to think about himself.
His wife and children will be burned to death, right? Where does the so-called reasonableness come from?" Lin Jue sneered.
"This..." Concubine Rong was stunned and speechless. After a while, she said angrily: "You said he committed suicide. I didn't say he committed suicide. Why did you ask me? I said, I don't know what the answer was.
Seriously, what are you forcing me to do?"
Lin Jue sneered and said: "I was just testing your Majesty. Unexpectedly, your Majesty immediately followed my words. Your Majesty didn't seem to be interested in the cause of Lu Shilang's death. In other words, I felt that your Majesty was hiding something."
Concubine, what happened today has reached this point, so why do you have to hide anything? Why not tell them all? Isn’t it uncomfortable to keep those secrets in your heart? Tell it. Lu Wu and I will not spread it, we just want to
Just know the truth of the matter."
Concubine Rong scolded angrily: "What am I hiding? I have told you all the circumstances. I have nothing to hide. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do. I have said everything I need to say."
Lin Jue stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky and said softly: "Concubine Rong, there is a god three feet above your head. Minister Lu is watching you in the sky. Have you slept peacefully at night for so many years? Don't you know what you have done?"
Concubine Rong looked up in panic, her eyes full of fear. She suddenly woke up and scolded: "Lin Jue, what are you talking nonsense about? How dare you do this to me? I am the imperial concubine, and what you did today is enough.
The nine tribes have been exterminated."
Lin Jue sneered and said: "Exterminate the nine tribes? Kill your daughter too? You are really cruel. But I believe you can do it, because your heart is indeed cruel. You don't even have a deep love for you."
Even Mr. Lu could kill him ruthlessly, what can't you do?"
"What did you say...?" Concubine Rong froze on the chair, staring at Lin Jue. Her eyes were full of surprise and embarrassment.
"Young Master... what did you say? You just said... that she killed... my father?" Lu Wu looked up at Lin Jue blankly, her mind buzzing. The Young Master's words almost made her feel sad.
She was frightened and stunned. "Lv Wu, my good daughter, don't listen to his nonsense. He is crazy. This man is talking nonsense. Don't believe him." Concubine Rong shouted.
"I wish I was talking nonsense, but what I said is exactly the truth. If you don't want to say it, I will say it for you." Lin Jue sighed and whispered.
Concubine Rong looked at Lin Jue blankly. She felt that Lin Jue was simply a monster. No one knew the secret she had buried in her heart. How could he know it? How did he know it?
Lin Jue began to narrate softly, but Concubine Rong didn't listen to a word. Her thoughts returned to the afternoon in the Zen room in the backyard of Changuang Temple, the afternoon when she met Lu Feiming.
…
The Zen room was very quiet, and Lu Feiming's smile was as warm and handsome as it was many years ago. Concubine Rong and him were sitting there, just like how they often sat opposite each other when they were in love. But their moods were already complete.
different.
Concubine Rong told Lu Feiming that the matter was about to be revealed, and asked Lu Feiming to find a way. Lu Feiming's smile disappeared. He frowned and sat there in silence, thinking like an old man in his twilight years.
"Help me think of a way, Lu Lang. I really can't think of a way. I'm afraid the prince will go to you for questioning soon, and then everything will be over. The child is so much like you that Concubine Mei and the others are also secretly looking for it.
There are clues, the matter will be exposed soon. Lu Lang, please help me, save me." Concubine Rong said these words to Lu Feiming.
Lu Feiming said: "Yourong, I don't know how to help you. I really have no idea this time. But if there is a way, I will naturally help you."
"Yes, there is a way. Lu Lang, there is a way, but I'm afraid you won't agree. I came to you because I have already thought of a way. I'm afraid you won't agree."
"What method, you tell me. But I can do it, I will definitely do it, and I will definitely help you."
"Lu Lang, the prince will go to you and force you to tell the truth, and then he will cut me into pieces. So, you can't say it, you must not say it."
"Don't worry, how could I say it? Wouldn't it hurt both you and me? I won't say it."
"No, you will say that you don't know the prince's methods. No one can survive his methods of extracting confessions. No matter how strong a person is, he can't escape his methods. He will pull out your teeth one by one.
He will smash your fingers into pieces with a hammer. He will use a knife to cut your flesh piece by piece. You can’t stand it. I know you, you will never stand it.”
"...Then what should I do? I really can't stand this. What should I do? Tell me."
"Lu Lang, when things have reached this point, only the dead will not speak. Are you willing to die for me? If you die, he will never be able to ask anything. After much thought, this is the only way."
"...Yourong, you are so cruel, you actually want me to die. Do you have the heart to take my life? I really didn't expect...you would actually want me to die."
"Lu Lang, I'm not cruel, I'm thinking about the overall situation. For your son, for my daughter, for me and my Wei family, for your wife, children. I could have died, but I died,
Without his mother, Guo Hao will be bullied by others, and he may not be able to save his life in the future. As long as I am here, no one will dare to bully him. So if I can't die, then the only one who will die is you. If you don't do it for me,
, can you die for your son? If the truth is revealed, both he and I will be cut into pieces. Think about it, is this reasonable? "
"..."
"Lu Lang, I know this is difficult, but tell me, is there any other way now? Don't worry, I owe you everything in this life, and I will repay you in the next life with a grass ring. I swear, your wife and children, I
I will order people to take good care of them. I will not let them suffer. If I had any way, why would I come to beg you? Lu Lang, if you think I owe you, you can have my body now, that's all.
It's your regret. Today we will be husband and wife for a day, fulfilling your wish back then. Okay?"
"..."
"Lu Lang, please say something, don't do this. Tell me, what exactly do you think? Are you unwilling to save me? Are you unwilling to save your son? Are you afraid?"
"...Yourong, it's time for me to leave. I'm sorry, I can't promise you. I'm really crazy about you, and I'm willing to do everything for you. But I can't help you this time. It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's inherent in people
I'm not afraid of death at all. If I were afraid, I wouldn't have agreed to do this treasonous thing for you. But I can't die now. Because, I understand, you are just like me to me.
It was a beautiful dream I had. I have been lost for this dream for a long time and lost too much. Do you know? My wife gave birth to another son and a daughter for me. With your Qingping, I have three children.
I was sitting in the back garden, watching them running around among the flowers, watching them laughing, and I knew how happy I was. And my wife Axiu, I married her
, she gave birth to three children for me, and she didn’t blame me when I gave her son to someone else. She only took care of me wholeheartedly and worked hard for me. She also treated Qingping as her own. She never blamed me.
I have done so many unreasonable things for you. Do you know how sorry I feel for her? My life now is not my own, and I am not living for you. I am doing it for Axiu and my three children.
If I die, the children will have no father, and Axiu will have no husband. My family will be gone. In the future, Axiu and the children will have to live on the streets and have to live under the shelter of others. You said you take care of them, but how do you take care of them?
In order to avoid suspicion, I will not go to see them at all. So... Yourong, I can't help you this time. But I promise you, I will resign and leave the capital in a few days. I will go as far as possible to a remote place.
If I go to live in the mountains, the prince will not be able to find me, and there will be no danger."
"...Lu Lang, you..."
"Yourong, I have to go. It's Axiu's birthday today, and I promised to eat longevity noodles with her. The children are also waiting for me to go back. I have to go. I will leave the capital in a few days. Don't worry, I will
I will never appear in the capital again, and there will never be any trouble again. Just take it seriously,"
"Lu Lang!"
"Yourong, I'm sorry, I should go."
…
"Empress Rong Fei, Concubine Rong."
Lin Jue's words brought Wei Yourong back to reality from that afternoon. She shuddered and looked at Lin Jue in confusion: "What?"
Lin Jue frowned and looked at her. He said so many words, but it seemed that she didn't hear a word.
"Concubine Rong, according to my analysis just now, do you admit that you killed Shilang Lu?" Lin Jue said coldly.
Wei Yourong was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said: "That's all, I'll tell you the truth. At this point, there's not much point in hiding it. One of you is my daughter, the other is my son-in-law, and I
My dearest relatives in the world, I don’t want to lie to you. I simply tell you everything.”
Lin Jue said softly: "Your Majesty, please tell me, we are all ears."
Wei Yourong glanced at Lu Wu, who was frowning, with a trace of love flashing in his eyes. He then turned to look at Lin Jue, who was staring at him, with a wry smile on his lips, sighed softly, and spoke quietly.
"I killed Lu Feiming. Lin Jue, you are very smart, you actually guessed it."
"What? You... why did you kill my father? He loves you so much and has done so much for you, but you actually killed him. Why? Why is this?" Lu Wu exclaimed.
Wei Yourong sighed: "Lu Wu, you don't understand, I can only kill him. I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. The prince will go to him soon to ask, and he can't resist the prince's methods."
, he will tell the whole truth. In order to keep the secret, he must die. That day in the Zen room in the backyard of Zenguang Temple, I came to him to discuss how to deal with it. I asked him if he was willing to die for me, but he refused.
This is the first time in his life that he has rejected me. He has never rejected me before. He said that he has his own life, a wife and children, and he wants to live for them. He can no longer live for me.
. He is still so bookish and naive. He said that he would take his wife and children away from the capital and live in seclusion in the mountains. Then the prince would not be able to find him. Haha, this world belongs to the Zhou Dynasty. The prince wants to find someone.
Even if he digs three feet in the ground, he will find it. He thinks he can hide away. He is so naive and childish. I used to like him like this, it's really funny to say."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "But you killed him to silence him. Your heart is indeed cruel. After all, he is the person you like, and he is also the person who treats you wholeheartedly. I'm afraid he is the only person in the world who cares about you so much.
.”
The muscles on Wei Yourong's face twitched, and his expression suddenly turned ferocious. He said in a deep voice: "He has changed his mind. He said he will never do anything for me again. He said that the most important thing to him now is his wife and children.
, and I am no longer the motivation for his life. He is no longer the person who treats me wholeheartedly. How dare he do this? How dare he betray me? He can't do this. He is the person I, Wei Yourong, like,
He can only live for me and do everything for me. If I want him to live, he will live. If I want him to die, he will die for me immediately. He actually rejected me, and he actually said it in front of me.
The wife he loves said that he has nothing to do with me anymore. He...it was he who betrayed me first. I can't stand it...absolutely not!"
Lin Jue and Lu Wu both looked at the excited and incoherent Wei Yourong in surprise. Suddenly, Lin Jue understood Wei Yourong's inner thoughts. He still underestimated the relationship between Wei Yourong and Lu Feiming. Before.
He felt that this was an unequal relationship. Wei Yourong naturally took the initiative, while Lu Feiming was at a disadvantage. But that was all. However, now, Lin Jue suddenly understood that the relationship between the two seemed to be
It is an almost perverted sadomasochistic relationship. Wei Yourong not only takes the initiative, she seems to be an emotional slave to Lu Feiming. She is as high as a queen, and Lu Feiming accepts her orders unconditionally and works for her
To do anything, Wei Yourong needed Lu Feiming to come and go as soon as he was called. She could not allow Lu Feiming to resist at all.
Lu Feiming must be in love with Wei Yourong, but the way of expressing this love is completely unequal treatment, abnormal and crazy. In other words, that is not love, that is abnormal love. This can also explain why
After the two became husband and wife by no means, Lu Feiming was still controlled by Wei Yourong, and even did the extremely unfavorable thing in the world for her to get rid of the baby.
Is Wei Yourong's feelings for Lu Feiming love? Lin Jue feels that it is just a kind of occupation. She regards Lu Feiming as her slave and can take it from her. If there is an element of love in it, this kind of love is also a kind of madness.
.We can see from Wei Yourong's request how selfish and unreasonable she is. She even asked Lu Feiming to die for her. In her opinion, Lu Feiming should die for herself.
However, Lu Feiming woke up, he had woken up. He may have understood what he should cherish and who he should protect. So he refused. If not, he might really be willing to die for Wei Yourong. But after all, he still
Awakened. Wei Yourong attacked Lu Feiming, partly to protect herself, but more importantly, she probably regarded Lu Feiming's behavior as a betrayal of her. She couldn't bear that Lu Feiming was no longer enslaved by her, so she wanted to
Punish Lu Feiming.
Thinking about these things, Lin Jue broke out in a cold sweat. People with insufficient life experience may think that there is no such relationship in this world. But Lin Jue knows that there must be, and it is reasonable. There is no need to take the world.
There is nothing surprising about it, this is human nature. Human nature is complex, fickle, and elusive, which are the most difficult things to understand in the world. If people become crazy, they can really do anything.
"Then... you will kill him?" Lin Jue said hoarsely.
"Yes, I killed him. I secretly found someone to ambush near his mansion. On his way home from a banquet that night, he was killed by my people. The person who killed him was not the people around me, nor the people from the Prince's Mansion.
, let alone from my Wei family. They are people from the world who I paid a lot of money to hire. They kill people for money and escape from the world. They don’t know that the person behind them is me, and I never know them. That’s why the court can’t investigate after only three years.
Tell the truth." Wei Yourong said softly.
"Your heart is as poisonous as a snake and a scorpion. You are so cruel. Daddy, I was killed by you like this. You will...have no good retribution in the future. Daddy really refuses to die in peace." Lu Wu's tears rolled down her face, and she gritted her teeth and screamed angrily.
Said. She had never been so angry or cursed so viciously in her life, but today, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Lvwu, I am your mother, how can you say that to me? Lu Feiming is not your father, and there is nothing wrong between me and him. Your father is the current emperor. You are doing this for someone who has nothing to do with you.
Curse me?" Wei Yourong asked sadly.
"You are not my mother. I don't have such a cruel mother. My father is Lu Shilang, and I am not anyone else's daughter. You must give up on this idea." Lu Wu cried and cried.
Lu Wu was really heartbroken. If her previous stubbornness was because she was shocked and resisted when she suddenly learned that she was the daughter of Concubine Rong, then at this moment, she felt pain for having such a heartless and vicious mother. She actually
If she kills her father, she will be her father-killing enemy. Lu Wu doesn't know what to do anymore.
