Chapter 1804 Make her dizzy
Lord Chen took a moment to come over and report the casualties to Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling.
"Your Highness, you should go back first. It's a mess here right now, with too many people around. If you stay here, someone might take the opportunity to cause trouble. I'll handle things here."
Although Lord Chen came to report to Prince Jin, he actually spoke to Lu Zhaoling first about everything and considered things primarily from her perspective.
"I just overheard someone saying some inexplicable and infuriating things. Your Highness, please don't take it to heart."
Lu Zhaoling was a little curious when she heard Lord Chen say that. Didn't saying that meant it was directed at her?
"What did you say?"
Lord Chen knew that since she had asked, there was no point in not answering. He also knew that Lu Zhaoling was not the kind of fragile woman, so it was okay to tell her. So he said frankly, "They said that such a disaster happened to you right after you married into the Prince of Jin's mansion. Is it because you are not suitable to enter the royal family?"
Before Lu Zhaoling could speak, Zhou Shiyue's tone suddenly turned serious, "Who said that? Has anyone been arrested?"
“Your Highness, I have people keeping an eye on them. I think there must be someone behind this rumor at this time,” Lord Chen quickly said. “So I didn’t want to alert them. I just had people keep an eye on them and then arrest all the suspicious people and those who had contact with them.”
Let's follow the clues and find the source.
This is utterly absurd! Those people clearly don't know that the Prince of Jin is incredibly fortunate to have married a princess like Miss Lu! They know nothing and yet they're spouting nonsense.
Not to mention that the prince won't let them off the hook, Lord Chen won't let them off either.
"Hmm, keep an eye on them. I need to know who's behind this. If you don't dare to make a move, come and tell me."
This time, Zhou Shiyue glanced at Lord Chen with an appreciative look.
However, he also knew that those who dared to play dirty tricks on them were probably not ordinary people, and the person behind them was very likely someone that Chen Deshan dared not touch.
"Yes." Lord Chen nodded.
To be honest, Your Highness, that's exactly what I'm planning.
Anyway, if it turns out to be a big fish that he wouldn't dare to touch, then we'll ask the prince to take action himself.
Since someone has already spread such rumors about Lu Zhaoling, Zhou Shiyue doesn't want Lu Zhaoling to stay here any longer.
He felt that if anyone said anything unpleasant to her later, she would feel wronged.
If she had arrived earlier today, and if she weren't from the First Mystic Sect, many more people would have died.
Because of the timely rescue efforts, so many injured people were able to receive prompt medical treatment.
Lu Zhaoling and the others have already done what they were supposed to do; it's impossible to leave them here to handle the cleanup and treatment as well.
Zhou Shiyue now has an idea: although the First Mystic Sect is powerful, their Great Zhou royal family must not develop the habit of relying on the First Mystic Sect for everything.
The First Mystic Sect owes them nothing.
"Sir, Lord Lin has arrived as well," the officer called out from the other end.
Sure enough, Lin Rong also arrived with his men.
"Perfect timing, Lord Lin, take those people to the Dali Temple. We can go with them and ask them questions." Yin Changxing thought of the people they had just arrested.
He thought about it and realized that Xiao Ling'er was newly married. Although she was living in the Prince's Mansion, it was still a bit unlucky for them to arrest so many people and bring them back to Huaimen on the day she returned to her parents' home after her wedding.
Just then, Lin Rong arrived, making it the perfect opportunity to interrogate him at the Dali Temple.
"Master, those people you just arrested..."
"Senior Sister, don't worry about it. Go back with the Prince first, and we'll go back to Dali Temple with Lord Lin," Yin Yunting said.
Since everyone said so, Lu Zhaoling had no choice but to agree.
She and Zhou Shiyue then returned to the Prince's Mansion.
The green trees and elms were borrowed by Yin Changxing.
When they returned to the Prince's mansion, Uncle Yun and Granny Qing were shocked to see that they had come back looking disheveled.
"How did our homecoming turn into this mess?"
"What happened?"
Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue and said, "I just said let's go back to Huaimen to pack up first. Look, you scared Uncle Yun and Granny Qing."
Hearing her words, Uncle Yun quickly said, "Don't be scared, don't be scared, it's alright, Your Highness. If anything happens, just come home. Don't worry about anything."
"Prepare some water, let's go wash up first." Zhou Shiyue didn't offer any further explanation.
Everyone in the Prince's mansion was busy.
After they had all washed and changed their clothes, Qingfeng also changed his clothes and stood in the garden looking at the stone table in front of him.
He placed the item he brought back on the stone table and put it in a large bowl.
"Your Highness." Qingfeng saw Lu Zhaoling approaching, feeling both apprehensive and inexplicably expectant, because he was about to find out what this thing was.
But Qingyin and Qingbao arrived at this time.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Fifth Princess has not yet woken up."
Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue. They had gone to wash up separately. On the way back in the carriage, Zhou Shiyue had told her about the Fifth Princess, but he hadn't mentioned that he had asked Qingyin and Qingbao to bring her back as well.
"Didn't you have someone send her back to the palace?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
“No, but I sent someone to deliver a message to Consort Yu,” Zhou Shiyue said. “Let’s see how Consort Yu reacts.”
What was Consort Yu's reaction?
After receiving the news, Consort Yu hurriedly left the palace and went to the Yu family to find them. She took her brother and two nephews with her and rushed to the Prince of Jin's residence.
"Should I go check on her first?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
“Take a look at this first, so you’ll have a better understanding later,” Zhou Shiyue said. “If she’s feeling dizzy, let her stay dizzy for now.”
"She's your niece, how can you be so cold?"
"It's really hard to say whether she's my niece or not," Zhou Shiyue replied.
Lu Zhaoling didn't support it. What he said earlier was right. Let's see what this thing is first.
She walked towards the stone table, and Zhou Shiyue and Qingfeng instinctively followed and gathered around.
Lu Zhaoling sensed it, stopped, and looked at them.
"Please all step back a bit."
“Your Highness, we must protect you,” Qingfeng said. But even he himself didn’t believe what he said.
It's really hard to tell who's protecting whom.
“No need. This thing looks a bit dangerous. You might not be able to handle it. Let’s move back a bit. I’ll be careful,” Lu Zhaoling said.
Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to retreat.
Zhou Shiyue, however, remained standing beside her.
“I’m right here,” he said.
Before Lu Zhaoling could speak, he added, "I've already experienced it once, so I know what I'm doing."
Besides, he wanted to smash Qingfeng before, but he certainly didn't want to smash Lu Xiaoer.
(Qingfeng: For my peanuts!!!)
"Then be careful, and get out of there if anything goes wrong," Lu Zhaoling said.
As she spoke, she first took out the Jinling pen and placed it aside.
