Chapter 328 He killed himself!
Chapter 328 He killed himself!
Lu Hanting, who had arrived from behind, was shocked to see this scene.
That is……
It really was Yan'er.
Then who was it that he sent Liuyun to escort him to the northern frontier?
They watched as Lu Hanting and the others rushed towards them.
Seeing He Yuyan's energetic performance, Wu Weiwei smiled.
"He Yuyan, you want to put on a show for Lu Hanting, right? Then I'll make the performance perfect for you!"
Wu Weiwei walked towards her step by step.
"What...what do you want to do?"
She did stab herself, but she was careful not to hurt any vital parts.
"What are you going to do? Guess!"
Wu Weiwei stepped forward and, before He Yuyan could react, quickly pulled out the dagger from her body and then stabbed her in the heart!
"Of course I'll grant your wish!"
"vomit……"
Blood gushed from He Yuyan's chest.
"Wu Weiwei, you bitch, you actually dared to..."
He Yuyan stared at her with wide eyes, seemingly thinking that this would make Wu Weiwei let go.
"Heh! Why wouldn't I dare?"
They watched as Lu Hanting rushed towards them.
Wu Weiwei said coldly, "You gave me this opportunity. If I don't seize it, wouldn't I be letting you down?"
As she spoke, Wu Weiwei pushed the knife forcefully, straight to her heart.
The Goldman Sachs team, who were besieging the area, were shocked to see this.
Taking advantage of Jiang Li and the others' momentary lapse in concentration, Lu Hanting broke through and reached He Yuyan's side.
"Yan'er, how are you?"
"Your Highness, Wu Weiwei, she...she's a vicious woman..."
Looking at the bright red blood gushing from her chest, He Yuyan felt her breathing becoming weaker and weaker.
"Your Highness, is Yan'er about to die...?"
He Yuyan had never been so afraid of death, but this time it seemed she was really going to kill herself!
"No, you won't die, the princess is still waiting for you..."
"Shi, Shizi..."
Upon hearing her mention the Eldest Princess, He Yuyan suddenly became excited.
Yes, she was originally the daughter of the eldest princess, a high-ranking county princess, but now she had actually died at the hands of a lowly woman...
He Yuyan grabbed Lu Hanting's hand, but her eyes were fixed on Wu Weiwei.
"Your Highness, you promised Yan'er that you would avenge her..."
At this point, He Yuyan suddenly tightened her grip on Lu Hanting's clothes.
Lu Hanting looked at Wu Weiwei with a conflicted expression, only to see her staring at them coldly.
"Your Highness, Yan'er is about to die. Please lean closer. There is something I must tell you..."
Even if it meant death, she wanted to plant a thorn in their hearts.
"Yan'er, stop talking. I'll take you to a doctor to treat your injuries!"
"No, Yan'er doesn't want you, Your Highness, to be deceived by her again..."
All the people saw was her whispering something into Lu Hanting's ear, and then they saw the young master looking at Wu Weiwei with a chilling expression.
He Yuyan breathed her last after uttering those last words.
"Wu Weiwei, you poisonous woman!"
Lu Hanting put He Yuyan down, but instead picked up his sword and pointed it at Wu Weiwei.
He had thought everything that had just happened was a setup, but when he saw Wu Weiwei insert the dagger into Yan'er's body, he realized that what Yan'er had said before about the Wu family wanting to kill her was true.
Thinking back to what Yan'er had told him before she died, Lu Hanting's gaze toward Wu Weiwei turned icy cold.
Look at the resentment in Lu Hanting's eyes.
Wu Weiwei gave a cold laugh.
"Lu Hanting, do you want to avenge your Yan'er?"
"Was it because Yan'er knew your secret that you killed her?"
Lu Hanting placed the sword against her neck.
Wu Weiwei glanced at him sideways.
She should have guessed that He Yuyan had just told him about the child in her womb!
However, when it came to the children, she was unwilling to explain to him, and even less inclined to do so.
Wu Weiwei raised her eyes and confronted him coldly.
"If you're unwilling to explain, then that proves what Yan'er said is true?"
Unexpectedly, she had a child with Qingzhu behind his back. Since that's the case, why should he care about their past affection?
"Mrs. Wu, you forced me to this..."
Lu Hanting used the back of the knife to deliver a powerful blow to her abdomen.
"Your Highness, no, Aunt Wu, she..."
Ru Feng was about to step forward to stop it, but before he knew it, it had already happened.
Wu Weiwei collapsed softly, clutching her abdomen.
As she fell, a patch of bright red blood was seen between her skirt sashes...
"Master Wu!"
Seeing this, Jiang Li quickly stepped forward to help her up.
"Jiang Li, it's me, my child..."
Is she going to lose her baby?
Wu Weiwei gripped Jiang Li's hand tightly, as if he were her lifeline.
Jiang Li looked away, "I'll take you to see a doctor!"
Listening to their conversation, Lu Hanting said coldly, "Wu family, do you think you can escape from me?"
Hearing his words, Jiang Li gave him a cold glance.
"Commander Lu, do you think you can get us to stay with just a handful of people like you?"
They have now reached the border of Chulong Prefecture, and the Black Hawk Gang members are probably on their way.
Looking at Jiang Li's hands supporting Wu Weiwei, Lu Hanting wished he could chop them off.
“Mrs. Wu, I only helped you get rid of the bastard in your belly.”
If you obediently return to the capital with me now, I can forgive you for killing Yan'er, and I will not hold it against you for being pregnant with that servant's child..."
Lu Hanting spoke in a tone that sounded like he was bestowing a favor.
Hearing Lu Hanting's words, Wu Weiwei looked up at him with her delicate face expressionless.
"Hehe, Commander Lu is truly magnanimous! Even though I am pregnant with another man's child, you can still forgive and forget!"
"By the way, don't you think I should thank you for sparing my life?"
As the contractions returned to her abdomen, and mucus continued to gush from between Wu Weiwei's legs, she knew that the fetus in her womb was truly gone.
"Hmph! It's precisely because you can still please me that I think you'd still be alive today."
Although he knows that his feelings for Wu Weiwei are different, he is still stubbornly refusing to admit it.
This made Ru Feng, who was standing to the side, very anxious.
Some time ago, he received a letter from Liu Yun, in which he said he suspected that Aunt Wu was pregnant with the prince's child.
But the prince's sword strike just now severed the only connection between the two.
This……
He didn't know how to persuade her anymore!
If we don't advise him, the prince will definitely regret it later.
Ru Feng looked at his master, whose expression was dark and gloomy.
"Your Highness, I have something I wish to say to you..."
But Lu Hanting, who was in a fit of anger, was not going to listen to Ru Feng.
With a single, sharp glance, he silenced Ru Feng, preventing her from saying anything.
"Ms. Wu, I'm giving you one last chance. Will you come with me or not?"
Wu Weiwei looked up, but her face was frosty.
"Envoy Lu, even if I die at the hands of the Black Hawk Gang today, I will never go with you!"
He severed the connection between them today, which is the best decision God has made for her.
From now on, when we meet again, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other!
good good!
Seeing that Wu Weiwei would rather be a prisoner than go with him, Lu Hanting's face darkened.
"Ms. Wu, you will definitely regret the impulsive decision you made today!"
Watching Wu Weiwei leave with the Black Hawk Gang without looking back, Lu Hanting still felt resentful.
"Ru Feng, bring her back to me!"
However, just as Ru Feng was giving orders, they saw countless black dots swarming toward them from afar.
"Your Highness, what is that?"
Ru Feng was shocked. Could it be that the Black Hawk Gang had set up an ambush here in advance?
"It must be Master Shen! He's sent people to meet us!"
Xue Ping shouted.
Jiang Li watched, but his face did not show any sign of relaxation.
Ru Feng stepped forward and whispered in Lu Hanting's ear, "Your Highness, although our people are not afraid of battle..."
But most of our brothers are stationed in Qingquan Town. Unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn't confront Shen Bazhi's men head-on.
Given the Crown Prince's current situation, his decision to send troops to Chulong Prefecture is neither legitimate nor justifiable.
If the imperial court knew that the Crown Prince had led the Tiger Family Army and the Black Eagle Gang into a fight, they would probably arrest the Crown Prince, not Shen Bazhi.
After all, the double he left in the capital might be discovered by the Empress's people, and if that happened, the Crown Prince would probably be in real trouble.
Lu Hanting understood that Ru Feng was right, but he was still unwilling to accept Wu Weiwei's situation.
"Your Highness, should we preserve our strength and retreat first?"
Seeing the prince staring at Wu Weiwei's extremely dangerous eyes, Ru Feng hurriedly advised.
After hesitating for a while, Lu Hanting finally gave in.
"withdraw!"
Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief when Lu Hanting's men disappeared.
"Jiang Li, if it weren't for Master Shen sending people to save us, we might really be dead here today!"
Goldman Sachs said with lingering fear.
"Ha, there's no Master Shen, they're just a bunch of savage bulls..."
Jiang Li sneered.
"What did you say? Those dark, dense dots, they... they're a herd of cattle?"
Why don't you take a closer look?
Hearing Jiang Li's words, everyone looked ahead with curiosity.
They saw cows rushing towards them, but in front of them, several people were controlling the herd from a distance.
"Manager Jiang, you're amazing! How did you know they were cows and not people?"
"This... as expected, Manager Jiang is the best at making decisions."
From a distance, I really thought it was our people riding over on horseback, but it turned out to be…
Monkey Three had never seen such a spectacular sight.
"Manager Jiang, if Lu Hanting and the others insist on staying, then shouldn't we..."
Xue Ping looked at Jiang Li.
However, Jiang Li did not explain much to them.
"Let's go! If we don't get there soon, Lu Hanting will realize they've been tricked and turn back..."
Hearing Jiang Li's words, everyone quickly mounted their horses.
"Master Wu, hold on a little longer. Once we reach Chulongzhou, I'll fetch a doctor for you..."
"Well then, I'll have to trouble Steward Jiang!"
Wu Weiwei gave a wry smile.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, he was truly in a predicament.
After Wu Weiwei and her group left, Lu Hanting returned with his men, looking furious.
Lu Hanting had never been so angry with himself before.
He actually got tricked by Jiang Li, such a nobody.
"Your Highness, it's all my fault. I never imagined they were just a herd of cattle..."
From a distance, they did indeed look like reinforcements that Jiang Li and his group had brought.
"By the way, Your Highness, there is something I'm not sure if I should say..."
Seeing Ru Feng's swaying movements, Lu Hanting felt even more aggrieved.
What good is feeling aggrieved? Now that things have turned out this way between him and Madam Wu, she'll probably only avoid him more in the future.
Lu Hanting glanced at Ru Feng before quickly saying, "Your Highness, Liu Yun once told me something about Consort Wu's unborn child..."
Unexpectedly, when Lu Hanting heard Ru Feng mention the lost fetus, he looked disgusted and said, "What's there to say about that bastard child from the Wu family?"
If he hadn't already aborted the fetus, he would probably be even angrier now.
Hearing the prince's tone, Ru Feng's heart trembled.
He looked up.
After carefully observing the young master's expression, she cautiously said, "Young master, the child in Concubine Wu's womb is very likely not a bastard, but rather, rather..."
"What is it?"
Lu Hanting looked at him sharply.
"I heard from Liu Yun that he suspects the fetus is your bloodline, Your Highness!"
As Liu Yun said this, he lowered his head as low as he could go.
He was prepared to face the Crown Prince's wrath.
However, after waiting for a long time, he did not receive the prince's anger.
"Ru Feng, are you joking with me? How could the child in Wu's womb be mine?"
It must be said that Ru Feng's words did give his heart a sharp jolt, but only for a moment.
Like the wind raising its head.
"Your Highness, do you... not believe me?"
"You said this was told to you by Liu Yun, but does he have any evidence to prove that the child in Wu's womb is my bloodline?"
After all, when she left the Marquis's residence that day, Wu Shi had been given thirty strokes of the cane. If she had been pregnant at the time, she would have died long ago. How could she have survived?
"evidence?"
Ru Feng thought for a moment, and realized there was evidence: it was Granny Mei…
But Granny Mei is now dead, and the child in Concubine Wu's womb has been aborted by the young master.
It's impossible to confirm the exact month of Aunt Wu's pregnancy.
No, he had heard Liu Yun mention that the old woman who used to work in the Wu family mansion might be able to confirm the gestational age of the fetus in Aunt Wu's womb.
"Ru Feng, never mention such things in front of me again, understand?"
Seeing that Ru Feng remained silent for a long time, Lu Hanting assumed that Ru Feng was just feeling sorry for Wu Weiwei and wanted to see him regret it.
Seeing the prince's self-deceiving appearance, Ru Feng sighed inwardly.
This matter will eventually be proven, and the Crown Prince will definitely regret it then!
Beijing.
After the Empress discovered that Lu Hanting had substituted someone else for another, she was furious.
If he had escaped, that would have been fine, but news came from the northern frontier that the Princess's 300,000-strong army was outside Baizhou City. The Princess had only one goal: to get her to release Lu Hanting.
Furthermore, many ministers in the court, persuaded by Grand Tutor Liu and Consort Jing, submitted memorials urging the Crown Prince to release Lu Hanting.
Refusing to release them would be a violation of the imperial edict, a disruption of the government, and even a disregard for the lives of the people of the Great Wei.
Although the Empress's side refused to yield, they were forced by circumstances to reach an agreement with Grand Tutor Liu and his group.
The Empress issued an edict pardoning Lu Hanting's crime.
Thus, Lu Hanting remained his Lu Dushi.
However, because of rescuing Lu Hanting, Liu Shuning, the daughter of Grand Tutor Liu, entered into a marriage agreement with the Crown Prince and officially married into the Eastern Palace ten days later.
Because of this, Liu Shuning couldn't sleep at night.
Then, thinking of her beloved, Liu Shuning felt even more pain in her heart.
Finally, one night, he kicked off a stool and hanged himself at home.
