Chapter 467 You have to do it
"I'll give my life for the life of a servant?"
"Wei'er, are you sure you're not saying I'm joking?"
At this moment, Lu Hanting exuded an aura of terror.
However, Wu Weiwei is now a powerful figure in her own right, so how could she possibly be intimidated by Lu Hanting!
"Your Highness, do you think I'm joking with you?"
"Hahaha……"
Seeing his unrestrained laughter, Wu Weiwei frowned.
"Wu Weiwei, do you think that I, Lu Hanting, can't live without you?"
Lu Hanting looked down at her from his high position.
It seems that I have been too lenient with her, which has given her this misconception.
"Lu Hanting, you're wrong. I never thought that way!"
Whether in the past or present, she has never thought that anyone is indispensable to her.
"If that's the case, then order your men to retreat!"
"I'm sorry, I can't do that!"
Listening to Wu Weiwei's firm voice.
Lu Hanting walked towards her step by step.
"You can try!"
It looked like a war between the two was about to break out.
Just then, a soldier rushed in to report.
"It's terrible, Your Highness! Lu Mingcheng has escaped!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Hanting paused in his steps.
"What did you say?"
"Your Highness, we originally thought Lu Mingcheng had no outside help, but who knew that a large number of troops would suddenly attack from outside the city."
We had no choice but to let him escape because we were dealing with them…
Upon hearing this, Lu Hanting looked at Wu Weiwei.
"Wei'er, is this still your subordinate?"
"Yes!"
Her strength is undeniable; there's nothing for her to hide.
"I'm giving you one last chance to have your men withdraw, otherwise..."
"how?"
As soon as Wu Weiwei finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind flash before her eyes.
A strand of hair from her forehead then gently fell down.
"monarch!"
Chunxiao drew her sword and stood guard in front of Wu Weiwei.
Chunxiao had just lowered her guard because she thought the Crown Prince wouldn't harm their monarch.
"Heh, I thought you were going to stab me through the heart!"
"Veer, do you really think I would treat you like this?"
"Don't you?"
Wasn't the original owner scared to death by his sword piercing her heart when she first entered the manor?
"of course not!"
After Lu Hanting finished speaking, he looked at Ru Feng.
"Go, bring Meng Guang here to me!"
"Sir..."
Does the Crown Prince really intend to kill General Meng?
Do I have to repeat it again?
"Yes, sir, I'll go right away!"
Seeing the prince's gloomy face, Ru Feng hurriedly left.
"Wei'er, I've already sent Rufeng to escort the person away. Are you satisfied now?"
"Lu Hanting, if I were still just a concubine in your household, would you have done this today?"
Lu Hanting frowned as he listened to Wu Weiwei's words.
If Wu Weiwei were still a concubine in his household, he certainly wouldn't have killed his subordinate for her sake.
It can only be said that times have changed, and after a few days apart, Wu Weiwei has indeed impressed him!
"Your Highness, Meng Guang has arrived!"
"Meng Guang greets Your Highness. May I ask what important matter Your Highness has summoned me for?"
Meng Guang was unaware of what had happened and thought the prince wanted to reward him for his recent meritorious service.
Seeing Meng Guang's excited expression, Lu Hanting sighed inwardly.
"Meng Guang, did you order the shooting of the people on the boats docked at Honghu Ferry yesterday?"
Honghu Ferry?
Why would the Crown Prince care about this? Could there be a spy on this ship?
Thinking of this, Meng Guang said with annoyance, "Your Highness, yesterday I did indeed order men to intercept those ships, but just as I was about to give the order, Lu Mingcheng's men fired arrows at them ahead of time..."
"What did you say?"
Wu Weiwei looked at him with a suspicious expression.
Upon hearing that it was Lu Mingcheng's men who did it, Lu Hanting's face suddenly showed a hint of excitement.
"Deputy General Meng, are you serious?"
Seeing the prince's excitement, Meng Guang scratched his head.
"Your Highness, did I let the spy go?"
"Meng Guang, did you know in advance that Lu Hanting was going to deal with you, so you deliberately said this?"
The lie was so perfectly crafted that Wu Weiwei couldn't help but suspect that Ru Feng and he had coordinated their statements.
After all, Ru Feng had just investigated, and it was he who gave the order.
"What punishment? Why should I be punished?"
Meng Guang looked towards Ru Feng.
But Ru Feng avoided his gaze and said to Lu Hanting, "Young Master, there may be a misunderstanding. I'll be right back..."
Watching Ru Feng speed away, Wu Weiwei looked at Meng Guang.
Could there really be a misunderstanding here?
It takes about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Ru Feng led several soldiers in.
"Your Highness, it was my fault. I misunderstood General Meng because I hadn't investigated properly..."
According to Ru Feng, these people were from Meng Guang's hometown.
Out of jealousy for Meng Guang's rapid rise in rank, she deliberately fabricated evidence to confuse the facts when she learned that Wu Weiwei had come to confront her, in order to frame Meng Guang.
Based on the Crown Prince's usual conduct, he probably wouldn't punish General Meng too harshly.
But today is different.
The prince almost fell out with Consort Wu because of this matter.
To be honest, Ru Feng felt quite guilty.
If it weren't for me, the young master might have been able to marry Consort Wu today.
Furthermore, he seemed to feel somewhat guilty towards General Meng.
He glanced furtively in Meng Guang's direction, only to see the latter glaring back at him fiercely.
Ru Feng, that good-for-nothing, almost got me beheaded because of him.
If it weren't for the Crown Prince valuing his talent, he would probably have lost his life here.
He'll make sure Ru Feng suffers a terrible defeat when he gets the chance!
……
Now that the matter has been investigated and clarified, Wu Weiwei naturally has nothing to say.
"Weier!"
As Wu Weiwei and her entourage were preparing to leave, Lu Hanting called out to her.
"Young Master Lu, is there anything else?"
Lu Hanting pointed at the Empress and her son.
"What do you suggest we do with these three?"
Seeing them reminded Wu Weiwei of the Seventh Prince, whom she had just rescued from prison.
If she hadn't been told, she would have almost forgotten about it.
"Chunxiao, please invite the Seventh Prince up."
"Seventh Prince?"
Wu Weiwei nodded.
"He didn't poison the emperor, so why did you release him?"
Lu Hanting only issued the order to attack the capital after receiving news of the emperor's death.
"No, the Seventh Prince is innocent."
The emperor's death was caused by poisoning by Consort Ji on the orders of the empress, and had nothing to do with the seventh prince..."
"What did you say? It was Consort Ji who did it?"
Wu Weiwei nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lu Hanting looked at his foolish subordinate.
"Ru Feng, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Go and bring Consort Ji here!"
"Yes, prince!"
Being so scorned by the Crown Prince, Ru Fengtou felt the frustration of Liu Yun for the first time.
After Ru Feng left, Wu Weiwei looked at the Empress, whose eyes were sparkling.
"Empress, what will happen to you if I were to publicly accuse you of plotting against the Emperor?"
"Wu Weiwei, do you think anyone would believe what that idiot says?"
Everyone knows that the Seventh Prince Li Chenghuai's IQ is equivalent to that of a three-year-old child. Who would believe what such a person says?
Seeing the Empress's confident expression, Wu Weiwei's lips curled up.
"Believe it or not, you'll know when the Seventh Prince arrives!"
