313. Chapter 313 Lu Ling's Plea

Kyoto, Imperial Study Room.

Lu Lingzhi knelt down on the ground with fine sweat on his forehead. He came to plead guilty to the emperor.

"Marquis of Anyang, I didn't understand what you just said." Mo Rongzhan looked at Lu Lingzhi coldly, with two beams of anger jumping in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it was Lu Guiren who passed away. I wanted someone to tidy up the things in her boudoir and be buried with her. Only then did I discover the letter left by her late father. That's why... I realized that she was pretending to be the emperor's savior. Your majesty, please You see that Shuang'er is infatuated with you, so forgive her for deceiving the emperor." Lu Lingzhi kowtowed.

Mo Rongzhan looked at Lu Lingzhi sharply, wanting to know how true his words were. After he exposed Lu Shuanger's true face, he immediately sent her to the Nianci Temple. Lu Lingzhi had no chance to meet her at all. Therefore, Lu Lingzhi definitely didn't know that he already knew about it.

"What did you write in your father's letters?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.

There was grief on Lu Lingzhi's face. After struggling and hesitating for a long time, he took out a stack of letters from his arms, "Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive the late father for what he did wrong out of love for his daughter."

Ford used to bring the letters in Lu Ling's hand to Murong Zhan, and Murong Zhan looked at them one by one, his thin lips were tightly pressed, but the anger in his eyes became more and more intense, "Your father sent the real one The little girl is hiding?"

"Go back to the emperor, that's what it said in the letter, I haven't looked for anyone yet." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice.

"Yanzhi, do you know the consequences of handing these letters to me?" Mo Rongzhan seemed to have frost in his eyes. He never forgot the little girl who saved him back then. When he thought Lu Shuang'er was her, he doted on Lu Shuang'er lawlessly. Later, he found out that Lu Shuang'er was not her. He wanted to find the real Xiao Yaoyao, but he couldn't find her at all. He thought she was dead, but now Lu Lingzhi was holding these letters to tell him that Xiao Yaoyao Still alive, and was placed under house arrest by Lu Shide somewhere.

A flash of pain flashed in Lu Lingzhi's eyes, "I want to hide it from the emperor, but I am afraid that the truth will be revealed in the future, and it will affect the entire Lu family..."

Mo Rongzhan asked coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will make your Lu family pay the price?"

"I just hope that the emperor can spare the lives of our Lu family." Lu Lingzhi kowtowed.

"Have you ever sent someone to find her?" Murong Zhan asked in a low voice. He actually didn't quite believe what was said in these letters. What if this was another fake?

Lu Lingzhi said, "I just found these letters yesterday, I haven't checked them yet, and I don't know... that little girl still..."

Mo Rongzhan slapped the table with his palm, "I shouldn't have easily spared Lu Shuang'er in the first place!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Lu Lingzhi kowtowed in horror, his forehead was sweating more and more, his face was more and more painful, and his hands that were supporting the ground were already trembling slightly.

"Marquis Anyang, if the person your father imprisoned is really the little girl who saved me back then, I will definitely make your Lu family pay the price." Mo Rongzhan said coldly.

It took Lu Lingzhi a long time to grit his teeth and say, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly. Why did he feel that there was something wrong with Lu Lingzhi? In the past, thousands of troops and horses faced the enemy without changing their faces. Are you afraid of being like this when facing him today?

Ford's sharp eyes noticed Lu Lingzhi's strangeness, and he said hastily, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with the Marquis of Anyang."

"Lu Lingzhi?" Mo Rongzhan called him sharply.

Lu Lingzhi really wanted to speak, but the pain in his body made him unable to utter a word. He opened his mouth, and his whole body twitched uncontrollably, "I'm... sorry..."

"Quickly pass on to the imperial doctor!" Seeing him like this, Mo Rongzhan's face changed suddenly, and he understood that Lu Lingzhi was poisoned.

Soon, Yuanshang Gong rushed over, Qi Jin and Huangfuchen were not in the capital, Yuansan Gong continued to treat Lu Lingzhi's illness, but the effect was not very good, the residual poison could not be cleared, and the effect of pain relief was not as good as once. Now, he could barely reduce Lu Lingzhi's pain, there was nothing else he could do.

After half an hour passed, Lu Lingzhi gradually stopped convulsing.

Mo Rongzhan's original anger was mostly dissipated because of Lu Lingzhi's poisonous hair. He remembered that Lu Lingzhi was poisoned on the way back from the great victory. He made a lot of military exploits.

Forget it, when he finds the little girl back, if he is safe and sound, he can still spare the Lu family. If... the Lu family will be like this in the future, and it is impossible to go any further. This is a reward for Lu Lingzhi's meritorious service .

"Have someone escort Anyanghou back, and let him recuperate at home." Mo Rongzhan ordered lightly.

Ford responded, thinking that if the emperor brought that girl back, what changes would happen in the palace.

Mo Rongzhan looked at the letter on the table, according to the place written in his heart, the place where Lu Shide imprisoned Xiao Yaoyao was in the outskirts of Kyoto, and this time he wanted to find her back himself.

Huaijiang City, at the entrance of the village.

As soon as Ye Zhen came out of Wangjiang Tower, she heard that there was an accident here. She rushed over and saw Xu Ji's men holding swords at the villagers. It turned out that those villagers wanted to leave the village, but Xu Ji's men Stop them and don't allow them to cross the fence half a step.

"Master Xu, what's going on?" Ye Zhen walked over to ask Xu Ji.

Xu Ji snorted coldly, "These people want to leave the village, so the general will naturally stop them."

"Even if you want to stop them, your soldiers shouldn't treat them with swords." Ye Zhen said angrily, "They didn't have typhoid fever, so why treat them so harshly."

"When they leave the village and infect other people, you will feel that such harsh treatment is nothing." Xu Ji said with a sneer.

Ye Zhen wanted to say something more, but Xu Ji had already walked over and ordered the soldiers, "Whoever dares to break through the fence, kill!"

The word "kill" immediately frightened the villagers. They looked at each other helplessly, fearing that they would be killed by the soldiers, and also afraid that they would be infected with the plague if they stayed in the village.

"We're going out!"

"Yes, we're getting out of here, let us out!"

"We don't want to stay here waiting to die, let us out!"

Those villagers all cried out. They felt that their village had become a dead village, and if they didn't leave, they would die too.

"This is retribution, it's punishment! We know we were wrong, and we will stop talking nonsense about the plague in the village..."

"God, we were wrong, we were wrong."

A few villagers cursed at those who were crying, "It's you, who always talk nonsense every year. There has never been a plague in our village, but you always say that there is a plague every year..."
