Chapter 244 Summoning Her to the Palace
"Watch out for what?"
Wu Wei was suspicious.
"Never mind, maybe I'm just being paranoid. It should be fine!"
Ru Feng didn't give a clear answer, and turned to leave.
I watched as Ru Feng left.
Lingfu asked curiously, "Auntie, what exactly did Rufeng want to say? He left without explaining!"
Wu Weiwei pondered for a moment.
He seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't say anything to Lingfu.
Just then, Wanqiu came in to report, "Auntie, the young master has arrived."
The prince strode into the courtyard.
I noticed his cold face; he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Wu Weiwei greeted him with a smile, "Young Master, Weiwei heard that you captured a member of the Black Hawk Gang."
An important person. Isn't this something to be happy about?
Why are you unhappy now?
Lu Hanting looked up at her.
Then he pulled her hand and sat her down.
"Wei'er, you've probably guessed that Yan'er has returned..."
Wu Weiwei looked at him and nodded.
"She was disfigured."
He calmly recounted He Yuyan's disfigurement, as if it were nothing to him.
It's no big deal.
Wu Weiwei was genuinely shocked by He Yuyan's disfigurement.
"Disfigurement? Who did it?"
Shen Bazhi.
Who is Shen Bazhi?
Wu Weiwei asked.
Hearing this, Lu Hanting realized that Wei'er did not know Shen Bazhi.
Ha, what's wrong with me?
He actually came to Wei'er to complain about Yan'er's disfigurement.
Seeing the hint of bitterness on Lu Hanting's lips, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Is this a setback?
It's just disfigurement, what, you can't accept that?
Isn't she the white moonlight?
Is it no longer appealing after being disfigured?
Wu Weiwei looked concerned.
She said softly, "Your Highness, if there is anything you need, you may speak with me. Perhaps I can help."
I can help you share your worries...
Seeing that Wu Weiwei's concerned expression didn't seem fake.
Lu Hanting then lowered his guard and said, "Wei'er, do you know?"
Yesterday, when I saw Yan'er's face, I suddenly felt terrified.
I initially thought I didn't care about her disfigurement, but when she asked me if her face could recover...
When I returned, I lied to her…
Lu Hanting told Wu Weiwei.
The poison on He Yuyan's face was not ordinary poison, but a kind of witchcraft from the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Yes, she was bewitched.
The owner of that bowl was the Red Widow he brought back.
The Red Widow's body contains the Mother Gu, while He Yuyan's body contains the Child Gu.
Once the Red Widow dies, He Yuyan will be permanently disfigured.
No one can solve it.
What he just said about finding a master to heal her was actually a disguised way of coaxing her.
Thinking about having to face such a face in the future, he was afraid he would find it difficult to face it.
After hearing this, Wu Weiwei smiled to herself.
Haha, that's just the inherent weakness of men.
When men and women meet, they are often attracted by each other's physical appearance.
Only if someone is attracted to another person's appearance will there be further contact.
Thus, their story began.
In appreciating each other's outward appearance, they slowly explore the harmony deep within their souls.
She didn't know whether to pity herself or the female lead.
"Your Highness, is that unconscious Red Widow the one who cast the spell on Sister He?"
"Yes. If she dies, then the curse on Yan'er will be unsolvable."
No solution?
This means that if the Red Widow dies, the female protagonist will be permanently disfigured.
Haha, interesting.
Wu Weiwei's lowered eyes flickered.
After playing a game of chess with the prince, Lu Hanting actually fell asleep with his head on his lap.
Looking at the man's handsome face, which seemed to have been meticulously sculpted by God, Wu Weiwei sighed inwardly.
What a waste of such a handsome face.
If Lady Hou hadn't sent someone to find him, the young master would probably still be sleeping.
Touching her numb legs, Wu Weiwei felt a little annoyed.
"Veer, I find myself enjoying coming here more and more."
With Vera by his side when he sleeps, it seems he can only sleep peacefully.
Wu Weiwei scoffed at his explanation.
As they stepped out of the courtyard, Lu Hanting suddenly turned around and glanced back.
But then Wu Weiwei turned around and smiled at him.
Lu Hanting felt his heart suddenly skip a beat.
He looked at Wu Weiwei's bright and beautiful face, and realized what he was doing...
Until the crown prince's figure disappeared into the distance.
Wu Weiwei then stepped back into the house.
At this moment, Lingfu chuckled.
"Lingfu, what are you laughing at?"
"Wanqiu, you didn't see it! Just now, the young master almost collapsed when he saw our concubine!"
"Nonsense, the young master did not fall!"
Wu Weiwei flicked Lingfu's forehead.
"Yes, yes, the young master didn't stumble. I was exaggerating. It should be called being distracted..."
"Hehe, who wouldn't be mesmerized when they see our aunt!"
Wanqiu smiled and said.
However, the expression on the young master's face today was something Wanqiu had never seen before.
Could it be that the young master has finally realized the goodness of his concubines and has repented?
Or was it because he was devastated by his cousin's disfigurement and wanted to find solace?
Seeing the two maids making fun of her, Wu Weiwei didn't bother to say anything to them.
However, when it came to He Yuyan's disfigurement, she suddenly had an idea.
"You two come here..."
Wu Weiwei was whispering something in their ears, and the two nodded repeatedly.
The news that Lu Hanting brought back two women from Wei County has spread throughout the capital in the past two days.
Everyone began to speculate about the identities of the two women.
I heard that one of them even moved into his Green Pine Garden.
Commander Lu was unmarried, and his household originally consisted of only two concubines.
One of the favored concubines reportedly died of smallpox in prison a few days ago.
So what kind of woman would he bring back to live in the courtyard?
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Commander Lu, I heard that you have recently taken two new concubines back to your residence?"
As an emperor, one should not concern oneself with the family affairs of one's subjects.
The timing of bringing it back was just too coincidental.
Besides, everyone in the capital knows that Lu Hanting is a devoted lover; how could he possibly take two concubines at the same time for no reason?
He doesn't believe there's no inside story behind this.
"Your Majesty, those two women are not my concubines."
However, these were just weak women whom I rescued from outside, and one of them was even injured.
He's still unconscious... This isn't what outsiders are saying..."
Lu Hanting stepped forward and responded in a deep voice.
"Oh, is it so?
But I heard that one of your deceased concubines is among them?
The rumors are so convincing, I'm really worried that Commander Lu might do something foolish..."
If Lu Hanting dared to deceive him, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Although he cannot execute him, he can make him lose the power he holds.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I absolutely guarantee that every word is true."
"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you may summon that woman to the palace now!"
At this moment, Lu Hanting suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, Yan'er was disfigured; otherwise, if the emperor wanted to see her, he probably wouldn't have been able to explain himself.
He claims he broke into the prison?
Or is it that he knew nothing about all of this?
The emperor's sharp eyes were fixed on him.
Consort Ji told him that Lu Hanting was not a trustworthy person.
He was arrogant and conceited.
Once they have grasped power, it is very difficult to make them relinquish it.
The emperor initially didn't believe it, but he couldn't resist the constant encouragement from his concubines.
It was hard for him not to have doubts.
Why would Commander Lu, who has always been averse to women, suddenly rescue two vulnerable women?
He watched him without showing any emotion.
"Commander Lu, since you have said so, then summon her to the palace!"
