935 Astonishing (4)
No matter how curious everyone was, Prince Rui’s mansion was like an impregnable wall. They did not know anything and could not find out anything.
In the Lu mansion, Lu Wan’er was pacing back and forth in the room. She said to Madam Lu, “Mother, I want to see Prince Yu. I wonder how he is doing. What if he’s seriously injured?”
Madam Lu comforted her. “It can’t be that serious. If it’s really serious, they will be inviting all the doctors in Long Ye over. There’s not much movement in Prince Rui’s mansion at all now. I think the situation is under control. Why do you want to go over to join in the fun?”
“But I feel very uneasy.” Lu Wan’er said, “It’s all Shen Miao’s fault. She’s simply a jinx. As soon as she married Prince Rui, something happened to him. She’s the jinx! They have to get divorced as soon as possible. If they continue to live together, something might really happen to Prince Rui.”
Madam Lu smiled and said, “Yes, yes, yes. However, you can’t go over now. When Prince Rui is better, ask your sister to think of a way to let the two of you meet. Don’t cause trouble now.”
Lu Wan’er said, “Mother, don’t lie to me.”
After Lu Wan’er left, the smile on Madam Lu’s face darkened. She instructed the maid at the side, “Keep an eye on Miss and don’t let her go out for the next few days. If she causes trouble, I’ll punish you!” At the end of her sentence, her tone was ruthless and her face was ferocious, just like the fierce-looking General Lu Zhengchun.
The maids lowered their heads repeatedly in agreement.
On the other side, in the Prime Minister’s mansion, Madam Ye and Master Ye were also talking about this.
Madam Ye was playing chess with Master Ye. Ye Maocai was completely different from Lu Zhengchun. Lu Zhengchun was a typical martial artist. One look and one could tell that he was someone who had been on the battlefield. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and his fierce appearance was probably enough to scare a child to tears. On the other hand, Ye Maochun looked harmless and amiable like a scholar.
However, the fact that Emperor Yong Le didn’t dare to fall out with him openly meant that he was definitely not a harmless person.
Madam Ye placed a piece down and said with a smile, “Prince Rui’s mansion is like a metal bucket. We can’t find out anything at all. I wonder what Prince Rui looks like now. I can’t eat or sleep well. I’m really frustrated.”
“Madam, don’t you already have a plan in mind? Why are you troubled by this?” Ye Maochun smiled and placed a piece down.
As she placed the chess piece, Madam Ye said, “No news is bad news. Prince Rui is high-profile. As long as he can, he will show up. The reason why he hasn’t shown up for a long time is probably because he can’t.”
Ye Maochun smiled. “Maybe he’s trying to confuse us.”
Madam Ye said, “I don’t think so.”
“Oh? Why is that?”
Madam Ye looked at the chessboard and said, “I’m not sure about Prince Rui, but the emperor is not hiding it. He has already started to deal with the Lu family. From the looks of it, Prince Rui must be seriously injured.”
Ye Maochun laughed out loud. “Madam, I didn’t know you could see through everything in the imperial court. Then why don’t you take a guess and see what I plan to do?”
