Chapter 421 You are Lu Heng
Mrs. He felt a note stuffed into her palm.
She clenched her fists and put her hands back into the quilt expressionlessly.
The doctor was taken away again.
Not long after, He Zhiyuan appeared.
He stood outside the screen, his slender body dimly illuminated by the lights in the room.
"If you die, what will we do when Jingyao comes back?" He Zhiyuan asked in a deep voice.
He actually didn't care much about the life or death of this woman, but he cared about He Jingyao's feelings.
Although He Jingyao seemed to be distant from her at home, He Zhiyuan knew very well that this woman was very important to He Jingyao.
"Can he come back?" Mrs. He's voice was hoarse and weak.
He Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said, "If I say yes, then it must be yes."
"Can I still trust you?" asked Mrs. He.
"Jingyao is the only descendant of the He family. No matter what the cost, I will save him." He Zhiyuan said.
"Take your medicine and take care of yourself."
Madam He clenched her hands tightly and said, "I understand."
When He Zhiyuan saw that she seemed to have taken his words into consideration, the frost in his eyes finally melted away.
He actually didn't have that much time to say these words to her, he had more important things to do recently.
But he couldn't let her die.
After He Zhiyuan left, Madam He asked the servants in the room to leave as well.
She slowly opened the note in her hand.
He Jingyao can be seen in the hunting ground.
Just a few words injected a stream of warmth into Madam He's almost exhausted body, and she felt as if every part of her body had regained vitality.
Madam He thought of Princess Chen.
She had a vague feeling that this little note was given to her by Princess Chen.
Is Princess Chen willing to return Jing Yao to her?
Mrs. He put the note into her mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it.
She has always been cowardly and has been tolerant and compromising all her life. But for her son, she can no longer retreat.
As a mother, she is strong, and she has to be stronger for her son.
"Madam, the medicine is ready." The maid brought the medicine in and gave it to her.
Ever since she went out last time, He Zhiyuan replaced all the people serving her.
She couldn't remember how many times this had happened. The maids around her never stayed for long. Sometimes it was a year, sometimes it was three years, and they always had to be replaced.
None of them could be trusted, they were all here to spy on her.
Madam He picked up the medicine and drank it all in one gulp, no longer drinking half and pouring half as before.
She has to get better first.
……
The second prince had a private garden in the northern suburbs. As he had not yet been crowned king, he did not have his own mansion. He discussed important matters with his staff in this private garden.
He did not meet with other aides today and only brought Lu Heng here.
This was the first time Lu Heng set foot in the second prince’s private garden.
"Lu Yingzhen, Prince Chen's people have been investigating you recently. Do you know why?" Fu Yuxuan looked at Lu Heng inquiringly with a smile.
Lu Heng lowered his eyes slightly, "I don't know."
Fu Yuxuan chuckled, "Lu Yingzhen, you are a very talented person. Last time, I did get the job I wanted according to what you said, but I still want to know why the King of Chen wanted to investigate you."
"Is it because of...your identity?" Fu Yuxuan stared at Lu Heng and asked.
Lu Heng smiled bitterly, "The Second Prince actually knows everything, so why bother asking again? If the Second Prince is willing to give me a chance to live, I will be grateful."
"Whether you are Lu Heng or Lu Yingzhen, it makes no difference to me." Fu Yuxuan lifted his robe and sat down in the main seat.
When he learned that Fu Jinyuan was investigating Lu Yingzhen, he immediately sent someone to investigate.
Sure enough, Lu Yingzhen turned out to be Fu Jinyuan’s former younger brother, Lu Heng, the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo of the Yong Dynasty.
"I heard that the second son of the Lu family is very talented and is the youngest top scholar in the Yong Dynasty. I feel sorry for you that you have ended up in such a situation." Fu Yuxuan clicked his tongue twice.
The legitimate son of the Duke's Mansion is a man of real talent and learning. He is obviously a child of destiny and his future should be better than Fu Jinyuan's.
"Have you ever thought that your current situation is all because of Fu Jinyuan?" Fu Yuxuan asked.
Lu Heng sneered, "My life shouldn't have been like this. It was indeed changed by Lu Yuan."
Fu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow, "You want revenge?"
"I want revenge! I also want to realize my ambitions. Second Prince, you are the future wise leader of the Southern Dynasty. If the Southern Dynasty falls into Lu Yuan's hands, it will be a misfortune for the people of the Southern Dynasty." Lu Heng said.
"Well said." A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Fu Yuxuan's eyes.
In fact, when he found out that Lu Yingzhen was Lu Heng, he was not angry at all about the secret.
Since he is Lu Heng, it is even more impossible for him to surrender to Prince Chen in the future. They have a relationship of life and death.
Lu Heng will only hate Prince Chen more than he does.
"Second Prince, I am willing to die for you." Lu Heng bowed and knelt on one knee.
Fu Yuxuan stretched out his hand and helped him up. "Now that Prince Chen is becoming more powerful, I was originally 80% sure, but now..."
"Your Highness, there seems to be no gap between the Queen and the Ruan family and the Prince of Chen. I believe you have thought about provoking the relationship between the Prince of Chen and the Crown Prince." Lu Heng said calmly.
"Hmph, the Prince of Chen is good at putting on a show. He and the Crown Prince still have a deep brotherly relationship." He absolutely did not believe that the Prince of Chen would treat the Crown Prince sincerely.
It was obvious that Prince Chen was the eldest son, so how could he be willing to give his crown prince position to his younger brother?
Lu Heng thought of Lu Yuan's previous behavior, and his eyes turned cold. "That's right, so we must not let him reveal any flaws when provoking him."
"Do you have a solution?" Fu Yuxuan asked.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has already ordered a spring hunt. In previous years, the Crown Prince never participated due to his poor health. Will he not participate this year?" Lu Heng said.
Fu Yuxuan's expression darkened, "The prince's heart disease has recovered."
He had originally hoped that the prince would die sooner. If the prince's illness was cured, he would finally get what he wanted.
"Have you thought of a way to do what I asked you to do last time?" Fu Yuxuan asked.
Lu Heng lowered his eyes and said, "We have already placed some people there, but we haven't succeeded yet. We still need some time."
"However, to deal with Prince Chen, it is better to start with the Crown Prince. If something happens to the Crown Prince in the hunting grounds, others might think that Prince Chen is jealous of his younger brother and wants to take back the position of Crown Prince from his younger brother."
Fu Yuxuan opened his eyes slightly, "Lu Yingzhen, you are too brave!"
He dreamed of killing the crown prince, but he had to kill the crown prince right under the noses of his father and Queen Ruan.
It is really……
Dangerous and exciting.
He was a little crazy and wanted to try it, wanting to see Queen Ruan collapse on the spot.
The Queen protected the Prince so well that she probably never dreamed that someone would dare to kill the Prince in the hunting ground.
"If Your Highness trusts me, I am willing to..." Lu Heng couldn't wait to make a contribution.
Fu Yuxuan waved his hand and said, "Your identity is too conspicuous to enter the hunting ground. I will discuss this with Prime Minister He."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Heng's eyes, "Yes, Your Highness."
"You'd better find a way to put the things where they should be." Fu Yuxuan ordered.
