Duanmu Ge didn't continue, but it was obvious.
Lu Zijia looked at Duanmu Ge with a deep gaze for a while. After a while, she smiled and didn't say anything else.
Duanmu Ge looked indifferent on the outside, but he was a bit frustrated in his mind.
With Lu Zijia's reaction, was she just asking a few questions, or did she really see something?
"Your… Your Highness, even though Madam Su is my concubine's daughter, our relationship is like fire and water. So, I don't know anything about Madam Su assassinating Your Highness at all. Second Prince, Your Highness, please understand!"
Cheng Zhong, who finally found an opportunity, hurriedly spoke up to get himself out of trouble.
A dark look flashed through Duanmu Ge's eyes after his thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
"City Lord Cheng, don't worry. If it really has nothing to do with the Cheng family, I definitely won't make things difficult for you," Duanmu Ge said with an upright look.
Hearing that, Cheng Zhong immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Even though she already knew that her father was a heartless person, Cheng Xin'er still didn't feel good after witnessing it with her own eyes again.
Duanmu Ge was the Second Prince and also the person with the highest status in the royal family present. Therefore, Duanmu Ge was responsible for dealing with Duanmu Chun's assassination.
Lu Zijia and the others left overnight and Duanmu Ge sent them off personally.
"I thought that Eldest Brother was just a bit domineering and ostentatious. I didn't expect him to frame others."
As Duanmu Ge sent them off, he shook his head and sighed. "Patriarch Liang, Array Master Mu, Alchemist Lu, I apologize to you on behalf of my Eldest Brother. I hope you don't take it to heart. And Fourth Brother, you've suffered. However, Eldest Brotherhas already passed away. I hope you won't be too persistent about it. Otherwise, it won't be good if it affects your state of mind in the long run."
Duanmu Ge guided Duanmu Heng like a qualified brother.
When Duanmu Chun was alive, Duanmu Heng indeed hated him, but now that he was dead, there was nothing for him to be stubborn about.
Instead, he felt like the dust had settled.
However, he had never thought that Duanmu Chun would die in such a way.
"Second Brother, thank you." Duanmu Heng replied.
Liang Zongxing also said, "Your Highness, you don't have to do this. You're you. The eldest prince is the eldest prince. You can't be compared to him."
Obviously, he meant that Duanmu Ge wouldn't be implicated because of Duanmu Chun.
Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan didn't say anything, still maintaining the silent attitude of watching from the side.
After that, Duanmu Ge sensibly didn't bring the topic to them again. Instead, he talked to Liang Zongxing and Duanmu Heng about going to the imperial city.
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the relay station. A few carriages were already waiting here.
"What are you thinking about?" After getting into the carriage, Mu Tianyan took his wife's hand and played with it, as he asked her casually.
Lu Zijia looked at Duanmu Ge outside through the window of the carriage. "I keep feeling that there's something wrong with this Second Prince."
However, she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Mu Tianyan's cold gaze also glanced at Duanmu Ge. "His disguise is very good."
Lu Zijia looked surprised. "Disguise?"
"Yeah."
Mu Tianyan nodded slightly. "His face has been slightly modified, so it's different from his original temperament, which makes him look out of place."
Lu Zijia frowned slightly. "Changes?" Why didn't she see it?
Her mental power was stronger than Duanmu Ge's. Whether Duanmu Ge used external objects to disguise himself or used pills to change his appearance, she should be able to see some clues.
However, after observing for a long time just now, she couldn't see any flaws on Duanmu Ge's face.
