C252 Crisis of Trust
"How is it?" Bai Ming gently twirled his hair with his fingers and laid on the bed diagonally. His clothes were arranged along the edge of the bed and scattered on the ground. His eyes were languid.
"It has already been settled. That palace maid was also executed by Consort Long." This was his hidden guard, an unremarkable woman, serving in the Imperial Palace.
"Go down." Bai Ming sat up and placed his hand on his knee. Blood Dao Child oozed out of his right shoulder. This was the injury he received when he went to the prince's mansion last time.
The woman looked at him worriedly, then immediately lowered her head. "This subordinate will take his leave."
Bai Ming did not care about the wound. He did not apply medicine and let it heal itself. He stood up by the window and looked at the dense bamboo forest. He could not help but laugh.
This time, he had made Yu Longzi's wife become a cripple. As long as he used the medicine a few more times, Princess Wanle would not live long.
Princess Wanle's epilepsy was not a simple spice that could make her fall ill. That spice was very ordinary, and even Imperial Physicians could not detect it.
The most important thing was the fragrance on Princess Wanle's wedding dress. Bai Ming had one who only cared about the Medicine Hall, and there were countless people who could make people fall sick.
His main purpose was to make Consort Long suspect Yu Longchen. He was very curious about what kind of good show it would be if two good brothers turned against each other.
Consort Long had always been wary of Yu Longchen. As long as she guided him slightly, she would suspect Yu Longchen and treat him as an opponent.
However, Yu Longchen, who was in the Imperial Residence, didn't know about all of this. Yun Xi returned from the Imperial Palace and did not go to see the two of them. Furthermore, she went straight back to her room.
When Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing heard the news, they were a little surprised. Why did a good person get sick? Was this Yu Longzi really restricting his wife?
They felt that something was wrong, but they did not have time to think about it. Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen had been missing for more than ten days. He couldn't find any trace of them.
"Princess, this is a invitation letter from the Faang mansion's madam." Lingyue seemed to have not served Mu Ruqing for a long time and recently she was only busy looking after Changxu. She could not help but feel guilty and heard the other girls say. Since she was not around, Mu Ruqing did not let the other servant girl serve her in close proximity.
"Bring it over." Mu Ruqing stretched out her hand and before she could say a second sentence, she was broken by the servant.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, Second Prince requests an audience."
"Yes." Yu Longchen acknowledged. Lingyue consciously stood behind Mu Ruqing.
Yu Longtang only brought one guard with him. There was no smile or any other expression on his face.
Mu Ruqing sent the rest of the people away, but Yu Longchen did not stand up. "Why is Second Big Brother here?"
"Look at your health." Yu Longtang sat down and looked at Yu Longchen. He finally had an expression of worry on his face.
"Do I look like a sick person to you?" Yu Longchen smiled in relief. Mu Ruqing only watched Yu Longtang from the side and smiled from time to time. She always felt that Yu Longtang was strange.
"That's good." Yu Longtang lowered his head and sighed. "You know about Princess Wanle?"
"I just found out. He restrained his wife. " Yu Longchen did not raise his guard against Yu Longtang, and he did not notice anything strange about Yu Longtang either.
" Oh. Do you have any ideas? " Yu Longtang asked, but he could not tell what he was thinking.
"I should thank Princess Wanle for her illness. If Second Big Brother makes a slight move, he will lose another helping hand." Yu Longchen narrowed his eyes and said sincerely.
Yu Longtang only felt a chill in his heart. When Consort Long told him that it was Yu Longchen who did it, he did not believe it because Yu Longchen would tell him whatever he did.
He could not rest assured today, so he came to confirm. Yu Longchen pretended to be stupid in front of him and remembered the matter of the post house. Yu Longchen did not tell him. He began to doubt it.
Yu Longchen had always said he wanted to help him, so Yu Longtang ignored Yu Longchen's power. Should he be on guard against Yu Longchen now?
Yu Longchen naturally did not know what Yu Longtang was thinking. Seeing him in a daze, he said in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with Second Big Brother?"
"No, I just feel that this is too much of a coincidence. I feel that it is a little strange." Yu Longtang stared at Yu Longchen, not missing a single expression on his face.
Yu Longtang was hinting to Yu Longchen that he already knew. It all depended on whether he would admit it or not.
Yu Longchen had never done it. He could not tell the meaning behind his words. He just thought that it was too much of a coincidence.
"Conspiracy depends on the person, and success depends on the heaven." Mu Ruqing interjected. She felt that Yu Longtang was hinting at something, but she could not guess it. "Since the heavens are helping Second Big Brother, it shows that Second Big Brother can achieve great things."
Only then did Yu Longtang notice Mu Ruqing. Hearing her words, his heart settled down a little. Based on the relationship between him and Yu Longchen for more than ten years, even if the matter was put on display, no matter what Consort Long said, he still did not quite believe it. If that was the case, it would be better to say that he didn't want to believe it.
"That's right. Did Princess Yun do anything?" Yu Longtang changed the topic, "She's Yun Meng's princess after all. If it wasn't something that could kill her, we can't touch her."
" I know. " Mu Ruqing nodded. As long as Yun Xi did not deal with her, she naturally would not touch Yun Xi.
"Sister-in-law, you must take good care of her. Princess Yun looked gentle and generous, but her heart was ruthless. She told Yun Meng that it wouldn't be good to investigate properly." Yu Longtang reminded her again. She couldn't move yet, so she naturally had to be on guard.
" In Second Prince's eyes, I am a bad person. " Yun Xi came in from outside the door with a gentle smile. She heard all of Yu Longtang's words.
Yu Longtang was a little embarrassed and angry. "Lateral Consort Yun didn't even need to report when she came in?"
"Report. How can you hear Second Prince's brilliant words?" Yun Xi smiled happily and turned to look at him. She did not seem to be angry with him.
Yu Longtang did not shrink back. If you were not here, I would dare to say it. If you were here, I would dare to say it too. "Is what this prince said true? The princess naturally knows."
"Indeed." Yun Xi blessed herself. This Yu Longtang indeed had the aura of an emperor. Then she said sarcastically, "I also know that Second Prince, who is rumored to be gentle and gentle in Dayong, is actually a long-winded woman. He likes the length of the Taoist behind him. He really makes me 'look at him in a new light'. "
" Thank you for the compliment, Lateral Consort Yun. " Yu Longtang was very generous and treated these words as compliments. He stood up and cupped his hands in front of his chest to express his gratitude to Yun Xi.
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched. Her skin was really thick. She did not continue to argue with him and looked at Yu Longchen and ___. With a wronged expression, she said, "I pay my respects to the Royal Highness and Princess. It's true that I admire the Royal Highness, but seeing the Royal Highness and Princess in love, he had never thought of stepping in. I just want to silently accompany the Royal Highness. "
Her pitiful appearance really made one's heart ache, but there was no one in this room who felt sorry for her.
"Then silently return to your room. There's no need for you here." Yu Longchen closed his eyes. He did not even want to give her an expression.
"But..." Yun Xi's eyes were clear and she looked at Mu Ruqing's stomach without a trace, "Older sister wangfei has been married into the Imperial Residence for a long time and there was no movement in her stomach. The Royal Highness should consider his son."
Yu Longchen's eyes suddenly opened and his gaze made Yun Xi shocked. It was rare that she said something wrong. But she had asked around and found out that Mu Ruqing indeed did not come out. Even the news of her pregnancy had not been spread.
Was it not a problem with Mu Ruqing or something? Yun Xi was also telling Yu Longchen that she could give birth to a child for him. It could be considered a form of teasing.
But looking at Yu Longchen's appearance, she was somewhat flustered.
