Chapter 1758 -1751: Lu Mian’s Awakening

I’m afraid even the Crown Prince cannot bend the rules!

Mo Qi has battled through life and death for so many years to earn his current status. If it’s ruined by her, she’ll feel guilty for the rest of her life.

“Mo Qi may have been used by your uncle, but it doesn’t mean he gained nothing from it,” Yun Sijin helped Leng Muling dress and gently wiped her forehead with a handkerchief.

She spoke softly, like a mother, “The child in Mo Qi’s household may not be his, and that Hong Lian… there are many hidden ties behind it.”

Now, with the emperor and empress absent from the court, Beiling City’s powers are formidable, and in the jianghu, Ting Chao Ge is full of hidden dangers. In the entire Great Cheng Dynasty, whether among the public or in the royal court, no one can remain unaffected.

Mo Qi is no exception.

Leng Muling always felt that Zhuo Junli was hiding many things from her. When she asked, Zhuo Junli would say her mind was not yet capable of understanding his plans, so he wouldn’t tell her.

Leng Muling was not convinced before; she was a smart girl, and having been influenced by her uncle, she learned some court matters.

But when she saw Lu Mian brought back, covered in whip marks, she still felt she was too immature.

Lu Mian’s mother woke up from a shock, and just after Leng Muling helped her drink her medicine, Lu Mian returned. She hurried to check on him, and seeing him covered in wounds, she almost fainted in anxiety.

But after all, she was a woman from a noble family, not a weak person.

She comforted Leng Muling, telling her to sleep, and then kept watch in Lu Mian’s room all night.

No one in the Lu residence knew what Lu Mian’s mother discussed with him that night, but when Lu Mian woke up, it was as if he had become a different person.

Leng Muling fulfilled her duties as a madam, bringing soup and medicine to him. Her face was cold as she placed the medicine in front of Lu Mian, her voice laced with undisguised sarcasm, “If Lord Lu wants to live long and continue to fight my uncle, you should drink the medicine and eat the porridge.”

Lu Mian’s face was pale, and his lips were also colorless. When his lips trembled, he appeared slightly fragile and broken.

Leng Muling watched and actually found it very amusing.

How tender-hearted she was to feel Lu Mian’s pallor was pitiful.

Lu Mian was neither deaf nor blind. He could see every trace of mockery in Leng Muling’s eyes and on her lips, but he did not retaliate. Instead, he took a letter from the drawer and handed it to Leng Muling.

Leng Muling looked at him mockingly, “What? Poisoned paper? Is Lord Lu trying to drag me to death with you?”

Lu Mian’s expression was blank, “This is a letter the emperor wrote for the attack on Qiongzhou City, and Mo Qi went to support. He wrote it for you before he left. I intercepted the letter, planning to ruin your marriage and then kill you to take revenge on Zhuo Junli.”

Initially, he had torn the letter, but later kept it, thinking that if Leng Muling didn’t die, he would use it to torment her.

But now, such use was ultimately not possible.

When Leng Muling unfolded the letter, she saw it had been pieced together and re-attached to a membrane sheet. Although the handwriting was blurred, she would never mistake Mo Qi’s writing.

Mo Qi said that the war situation was urgent and he had to quickly go support the emperor. When he returned, he would certainly give her an explanation about Hong Lian and asked her to wait for him.

At the time, having not received the letter, she thought Mo Qi had betrayed her and resented him for a long time.

After he returned, no matter how he tried to explain, she refused to listen, only intent on ending things with him.

But never did she think… that Lu Mian intercepted this letter!

“Lu Mian, you despicable person! Does it make you so happy to see our suffering?” Leng Muling, in a rage, grabbed the medicine bowl and splashed it in Lu Mian’s face.
