Chapter 140 The Liu Family of the Past, the Lu Family of Tomorrow

Lu Yuan didn't expect that Xu Qiuyue could trick Xuan Yi away with just a few words.

He actually underestimated Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue was silent here.

At the critical moment, she faced the arrogant Xuan Yi without showing any fear.

Although there is a reason why Xuan Yi really wants to find out the truth.

But it was not easy for Xu Qiuyue to sort out her thoughts in such a short time.

No, Xu Qiuyue is not kidding.

The Ye family is very important.

The Ye family was not implicated.

The Ye family is most likely not innocent.

It’s not that the assassin chose Ye Ling, it’s possible that the Ye family had already chosen the assassin.

That poem was the evidence, it was the assassin’s reward to the Ye family.

And he didn't even know where the Gu Yue Bookstore was.

Xu Qiuyue had just arrived in Beijing, but she knew this place and also knew that this was a place for ghostwriting.

Judging from Xuan Yi’s expression, he actually knew this place.

Xu Qiuyue said that she was not talented enough and was afraid of bringing shame to her husband's family, so she wanted to go to such a place to find someone to write for her.

But Xu Qiuyue had already said it, so she was not afraid of being embarrassed at all.

Could anything be more embarrassing than this?

Moreover, Xu Qiuyue did not shy away from her identity as a peasant girl. Whenever asked about her academic ability, she would always say that she was studying and learning to read.

Things have come to this point, how could anyone let Xu Qiuyue write poetry.

Xu Qiuyue clearly said that she could hardly recognize any words.

If Xu Qiuyue were still asked to write poetry at this time, wouldn't it be forcing her and deliberately making things difficult for her?

Another thing is that Xu Qiuyue never attends these banquets and will postpone ordinary banquets if possible.

Because Xu Qiuyue claimed to the outside world that she was just a peasant girl.

This was also the first time that Lu Yuan took on such a big case, and his mind was very confused.

He knew he had made mistakes. The first mistake was that he carelessly let the people from Ning'an Palace go.

Lu Yuan felt that there was no value in questioning the remaining people.

"Ma'am, do you think we can find any clues among the remaining people?"

This time, Lu Yuan did not call Xu Qiuyue's name.

Lu Yuan actually had some doubts about Xu Qiuyue in his heart.

Because Xu Qiuyue told him that someone would assassinate the emperor at the Qiuyue Banquet, and asked him to take the blame for the emperor.

It just so happened that his seat was so perfect, sitting together with the princes.

He has a chance.

But Lu Yuan didn't expect that someone would really assassinate him so quickly.

Lu Yuan had suspected Ye Ling at the beginning, but Ye Ling did not assassinate him when she presented the piano, so he thought that Ye Ling might not assassinate him, because when she left, it was not a good opportunity.

If the prince did not block the knife, the emperor would most likely die.

Xu Qiuyue actually knew about such a carefully planned assassination in advance.

But even if he knew it in advance, he wouldn't react that quickly.

The prince's reaction was a little too quick.

The prince had long known that this woman would assassinate the emperor.

That's why the prince was able to block the knife in time.

The assassination of the emperor, such an important matter, could actually leak out.

And it can be known by so many people in advance.

The key is that it almost succeeded.

This is so unrealistic, but it all happened.

Lu Yuan's mind was confused.

Just when Lu Yuan’s mind was a little confused.

"No one is perfect, and it is a great honor to know one's mistakes and correct them. My husband, since you just missed some news due to carelessness, it should not be too late to correct it now. If you can sort out the case in the process of investigation, you will not be too incompetent when you apologize in front of His Majesty!"

Xu Qiuyue reminded Lu Yuan.

Xu Qiuyue deliberately spoke in a low voice.

His Majesty must know everything that happens in this palace.

In the previous life, the Ning'an Palace had nothing to do with the assassination case.

But the Ning'an Palace is not necessarily innocent.

Lu Yuan did make a mistake.

Ye Ling was brought in by Zhu Xing'er.

Lu Yuan did not ask any questions about such matters and let the people from Ning'an Palace go.

And His Majesty has always been somewhat wary of the Ning'an Palace.

This matter must never be ignored.

I can only take the initiative to admit my mistake to His Majesty in advance.

But now the prince is dead.

His Majesty has feelings for the Prince.

In his previous life, the prince did not die so early.

When the prince died, the emperor was also deeply saddened.

Because of the Crown Prince’s death, the Emperor was ill for a long time before he recovered.

No one can be sure whether there are any suspicious people among the remaining people.

Although there is basically nothing suspicious.

However, the Ning'an Palace had a mistake because of Lu Yuan's assumption.

If he continues to take things for granted and make mistakes, Lu Yuan might even lose his life.

If Xu Qiuyue didn't want to sell herself into slavery at that time, she would have to flee.

The Liu Xiuer of the past is the Xu Qiuyue of tomorrow.

That day Xu Qiuyue felt sorry for Liu Xiuer, but who else could pity her?

Xu Qiuyue sighed and continued to say to Lu Yuan: "My husband, in the past you pitied the Liu family and were able to help the Liu family. In the future, I don't know who will pity you and me. Investigating a case depends on being careful, cautious and patient. The commander of the imperial guards and the general manager have handled many cases in the palace. You can ask the commander and the general manager more often when you encounter problems."

Lu Yuan was just an eighteen-year-old boy at that time.

This is the first time I’m directly responsible for such a big case.

He was still a little panicked.

Another reason is that Lu Yuan is a little conceited. He feels that since the emperor has put him in charge of this case, he does not need to rely on other people for help.

However, Xu Qiuyue didn't need to teach him the proper etiquette of the world. He sent exquisite gifts to the chief eunuch and the commander of the imperial guards.

At this time, Lu Yuan already understood what Xu Qiuyue meant.

Xu Qiuyue wanted Lu Yuan to give the next major task of interrogating people to the chief eunuch and the commander of the imperial guards.

Lu Yuan's head was throbbing with pain.

He never stopped and was exhausted.

He dared not let anyone go, as they were most likely assassins.

It’s a pity that after all the busy work, I still don’t look at things as carefully as Xu Qiuyue.

If Xu Qiuyue hadn't taken Xuan Yi away, he would probably have continued to quarrel with Xuan Yi here.

The key is that he has now realized the seriousness of the problem.

If he fails to handle this matter well, it will not be as simple as losing his official position.

If the Ning'an Palace is really connected to the assassination.

If he is exiled at that time, he will be lucky.

I’m afraid that the Lu family’s fate will be even worse than that of the Liu family. The Liu family of the past will be the Lu family of tomorrow.

Although what Xu Qiuyue said sounded pitiful.

But Lu Yuan knew that Xu Qiuyue would never be taken to Huaishu Street to be sold.

If that moment really comes, Xu Qiuyue will definitely run away in advance.

Xu Qiuyue placed her fingertips on Lu Yuan's temple, pressing gently, and said to Lu Yuan: "Relax a little. Since His Majesty has chosen you, it proves that His Majesty believes that you have the ability to handle this matter."
