mtl008 Chapter 341 Confession
Chapter 341 Confession
In the study, Lu Hanting held a black chess piece, unsure whether to place it or not.
He had just discussed with Grand Tutor Liu for a long time, and Grand Tutor Liu's idea was for him to hold back for the time being.
They were just waiting for Chen Furong from Nanzhao to ask for help after her defeat. At that time, the Empress and the others would have no choice but to turn to him for help.
As for the eldest princess, the fact that he returned safely this time shows that she did not truly want to break ties with him.
After figuring it out, he gently placed his black piece next to the white piece, employing a diversionary tactic.
Looking at this chessboard instantly reminded him of his past with Wu Weiwei.
In the past, when faced with difficult decisions, she would always try to cheer herself up and play chess with him to relieve her boredom, but now...
Thinking of Wu Weiwei, Lu Hanting felt as if his heart was being slowly tortured with a blunt instrument. Her resolute expression that day made him ache.
Just then, there was a knock on the door from the outside.
"Enter!"
"Sir!"
"How's the task I assigned you coming along?"
If he remembered correctly, he had just asked him to investigate Wei'er's return to the capital.
"Your Highness, I have discovered that Consort Wu was escorted back by a woman named Qin Yanmei..."
Liu Yun told Lu Hanting that Qin Yanmei was a member of the Mingyue Gang.
It is said that she was highly skilled in martial arts and was also the guardian of Fox Mountain Ridge in Chulong Prefecture.
In retaliation for He Yuyan's death, Shen Bazhi threw Wu Weiwei into Fox Mountain Ridge, leaving her to fend for herself there.
For some unknown reason, Wu Weiwei caught Qin Yanmei's eye.
Not only did they rescue her, but they also escorted her back to the capital.
"How is Madam Wu now? Is she alright?"
Thinking about how he had knocked her child out that day, Lu Hanting suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
Hearing the prince's words, Liu Yun said with a strange expression, "Speaking of this, Your Highness, I just found out some things..."
"what's up?"
Liu Yun placed the things she had just collected on the desk.
"what is this?"
Lu Hanting frowned.
"This is the confession of the old woman who used to work at Consort Wu's residence. As for this other one, it's the will left by Granny Mei before she died. Young Master, you'll understand when you see it..."
Although he didn't know what Liu Yun was up to, Lu Hanting still opened the letter.
After only a few lines, Lu Hanting's hand gripped the paper tightly, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yun spontaneously took a few steps back.
He was still shaken by the incident where the Crown Prince hit him on the head with an inkstone.
After a while.
The prince took a deep breath and put down the letter.
Why has this letter only arrived now?
Liu Yun only heard Lu Hanting's cold voice.
There was no warmth at all, yet it made Liu Yun tremble, feeling extremely cold.
"Your Highness, it was delivered a couple of days ago. Manager Huang from Chengde Manor only discovered it while tidying up Granny Mei's bedding, so he hurriedly sent it over!"
Two days ago?
Thinking of the bloodline he had mistakenly killed that day, Lu Hanting felt as if an invisible hand was choking his throat, making it hard to breathe.
Wei'er was carrying her own child, but he ruthlessly killed it.
The regret in his heart was like the water of the ocean, overwhelming him.
"Liuyun!"
"Oh, Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Hearing the prince's weak and listless voice, Liu Yun couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Give that Manager Huang a hundred lashes, then throw him out!"
Thinking that if she had discovered the letter earlier and sent it over, perhaps the child in Wei'er's womb would not have been lost.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Liu Yun went out, he wiped his forehead and found that it was covered with fine sweat.
Now that the Crown Prince has punished Huang Caiying, he shouldn't take his anger out on others anymore, right?
After Liu Yun came out, a loud bang was heard from the study.
Liu Yun turned around and looked behind her, feeling somewhat relieved.
Ru Feng, who was guarding outside, looked inside with a puzzled expression.
Chess pieces were scattered all over the study floor, but this still couldn't quell Lu Hanting's anger.
He actually killed his and Wei'er's child with his own hands because of He Yuyan's words. Thinking of this, Lu Hanting felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Thinking of Wu Weiwei's ruthless and heartless expression that day, does Wei'er hate herself?
Lin Fan and his group came to congratulate Wu Weiwei.
"Congratulations on your return, boss!"
"Congratulations on your return, boss!"
"Please, everyone, don't be shy, have a seat!"
Looking at everyone, Wu Weiwei was filled with emotion.
Although she was captured by Shen Bazhi's men, Lin Fan still managed to control everything according to their original plan, and it must be said that he did a very good job.
"Boss, the entire construction of our Yulu Central City project has been completed. When do you plan to open it?"
Everything that Wu Weiwei had instructed has now been completed. They are just waiting for Wu Weiwei to choose a date so they can reopen for business.
"Lin Fan, you did a great job! But this isn't urgent, we need to wait a few more days!"
Lin Fan looked at her in surprise.
The owner was so eager to open for business before, but now that everything is ready, why isn't he in a hurry anymore?
Seeing everyone's confusion, Wu Weiwei smiled and said, "I have an important prescription. I'm just waiting for Sister Chen to develop the medicine. When that happens, it will be a great opportunity to promote our Jade Deer Central City, and the effect will be even better!"
Upon hearing this, Fat Tuo asked curiously, "Master, what is the prescription?"
"Hehe, you'll see when we get out!"
She had Qin Yanmei collect the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Fruit guarded by the spirit snake, and after bringing it back, she had Sister Chen and the others study it.
It was discovered that this spiritual fruit not only contains substances that slow down aging, but also has the ability to promote the regeneration of human cells.
Such a miraculous substance will likely produce extremely effective pills.
However, there weren't many of those seven-colored holy spirit fruits in total. Apart from leaving a small portion for the guardian spirit snake, Qin Yanmei picked most of them and now they are all carefully stored in her storeroom.
With these ingredients added, I believe her beauty and skincare pills will be even more effective.
Of course, Wu Weiwei couldn't possibly give away such an important spiritual fruit.
Instead, they plan to add a small amount to beauty products to enhance their medicinal effects.
Upon hearing what Wu Weiwei said, Hao Tuo's eyes immediately lit up.
"Master, is this Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Fruit you mentioned really that miraculous?"
Wu Weiwei nodded.
Hearing Wu Weiwei say this, Lin Fan suddenly had an idea.
He looked at Wu Weiwei.
"Master, I have a bold suggestion. Since this spiritual fruit is so miraculous, why don't we offer this enhanced version of the An Sheng Bao Ji Pill to the emperor to save his life?"
