Chapter 291: General Weiyuan turned against us?
Madam Lu lowered her eyes and turned around, intending to let General Weiyuan stay here alone and quietly for a while.

As a result, she had just taken two steps when she heard her husband's slightly hoarse voice behind her:

"you're right."

Mrs. Lu looked back suddenly, with a light of surprise in her eyes:

"You figured it out so quickly?"

"Nothing is hard to figure out."

General Weiyuan smiled bitterly:
“In fact, I have always known that Her Royal Highness is more suitable for that position than the Crown Prince.

It was just that I was blinded by the eldest prince's kindness in the past, and I didn't think about anything else except supporting the eldest prince.

It was not until you, Madam, just said that I was harming the country that I suddenly realized how wrong what I had done all these years was.

Madam, you are right. I cannot make the same mistake again."

"It's good as long as you figure it out!"

The heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. Mrs. Lu's mouth corners rose quickly, and then she forced it flattened.

She seemed a little unaccustomed to such sentimental scenes. After saying this, she turned around in a hurry and continued to walk out:
"It's getting late, I'll go ask if the food is ready!"

……

The next morning, before the morning court session began,
General Weiyuan, who appeared in Xuanzheng Hall with his head wrapped tightly with cloth, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the door.

"Who is this? What is this?"

"I don't know, how did he get wrapped like this? Look at his official robe, he's a military commander. Could it be that he poked his face when he was sparring with someone?"

While the ministers were discussing, General Weiyuan walked to his seat silently.

At this moment, the discussion in the palace became louder, and even the eldest prince came over to ask in a pretentious manner:
"What happened to General Lu?"

"nothing."

From a pile of cloth came the gruff voice of General Weiyuan:
"It doesn't look good."

"That's what I said,"

A civil official who was at odds with General Weiyuan heard this and immediately started to mock:

"It's not like you don't look good today."

"Lord Wang, be careful with your words!"

The eldest prince frowned and turned around to say something for General Weiyuan when he heard Li Dehai's familiar shrill voice.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The Xuanzheng Hall, which had been a bit messy, suddenly became orderly.

After everyone saluted, Lord Wang, who had just mocked General Weiyuan, was the first to stand up with his tablet in hand:

"Your Majesty, I have a report to make!"

"Accurate."

"minister……"

Before Lord Wang spoke, he subconsciously glanced at where Yun Shu usually stood, and was surprised to find that Yun Shu was not there today.

The words on his lips changed direction unconsciously:
"Your Majesty, I wonder why the Princess is..."

"The princess has asked for leave."

Having expected that someone would ask this question, Emperor Xuanwu glanced at General Weiyuan and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"As for why you asked for leave, you may have to ask Lord Lu."

Is it related to General Weiyuan?

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell back on General Weiyuan, whose head was wrapped in two. However, this time, everyone's guesses were different -

Could it be that General Weiyuan got hit on the head by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?
I feel like Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is truly capable of doing this!

Facing the strange and complicated gazes of the civil and military officials in the court, General Weiyuan slowly untied the cloth wrapped around his head.

"Oh my god!"

The one standing closest to General Weiyuan was curious about what happened to his face, so he leaned over to take a closer look.

He was caught off guard by a massive and powerful attack, which frightened him so much that he stumbled back, and he almost forgot that he was in the Xuan Zheng Hall, in front of the emperor!

Fortunately, Emperor Xuanwu did not pursue the matter of what he said reflexively.

The main reason was that Emperor Xuanwu was also shocked by General Weiyuan's face.

Before, I only knew that this person was poisoned by "Yingyang Powder" and had rashes all over his body, but I didn't know he had so many!
This is too...

No wonder Xiaowu said she was scared. This thing looks really scary.

Emperor Xuanwu coughed lightly. As someone who knew the inside story so well, he was able to remain calm at the moment.

Those who didn't know the reason all wished they could stay as far away from him as possible:

"General Lu, is it possible that he has contracted some disease? Could it be passed on to others?"

“It can’t be transmitted.”

After replying to the official without even glancing at him, General Weiyuan walked directly to the center of the hall and knelt on one knee:

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!
Yesterday, I was careless and was framed by a villain, who put a poison powder called "Yingyang Powder" on my body.

This powder will not kill people, but it will cause red rashes all over the body and cause unbearable itching. One must wait for seven days for the drug effect to wear off before recovery.

Yesterday, when I was unaware of this matter, I went to look for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Perhaps at that time, some of the remaining 'Itching Powder' on my body was accidentally blown onto Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess by the wind.

I hope your Majesty and your Highness will forgive me!"

"A villain plotting against you?"

He picked out four words from General Weiyuan's words and repeated them with deep meaning.
Emperor Xuanwu sneered:
"Did you catch the person?"

"Reporting to your majesty, he has been arrested."

General Weiyuan said without hesitation:
"This man's name is Qian Wanqing, and he is a servant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once gave to me."

"Oh?"

He actually gave away the identity of the eldest prince?
Emperor Xuanwu was surprised in his heart, but he showed no sign on his face. He just called out in an ambiguous tone:
"Boss, do you have anything to say?"

"Father, please understand clearly that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

The eldest prince was also very confused at the moment, and didn't understand why General Weiyuan would drag him into this.

Even if they really found out that Qian Wanqing was to blame and guessed the truth,
In front of his father, Lu Jingkun should pretend that he knows nothing!

Could it be that she felt that she was being used by him and was unhappy?

But this is too...

The eldest prince had no time to think about it. After being pointed out by Emperor Xuanwu, he quickly stood up and distanced himself from the matter:
"It is true that Qian Wanqing was given to General Lu by my son, but that was several years ago.

Moreover, it was General Lu himself who took a liking to Qian Wanqing, saying that Qian Wanqing was very smart and efficient at work.

I thought he was just a servant, so I said something casually and sent him to General Lu.

But after this man was sent away, I never asked about it again, and I don't know why he suddenly gave General Lu that 'itching powder'!"

The eldest prince said this with sincerity.
If you don’t know, you would really think he is very wronged.
