Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 865 The plot matches ([-])

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect Lu Mingyong to admit such a thing. If this matter was done behind closed doors in his own room, the emperor would not be able to control the backyards of the people.

But if it happened in the palace, it would be different. The first one involves the serious crime of desecrating the palace, and the second one is Princess Zhenli, a member of the royal family. If he is convicted of these two crimes alone, he will shed his skin even if he is not dead.

But he dared to speak out. Did he live too long, or was he hiding something else?
No one said anything, waiting for him to continue.

Lu Mingyong knelt straight, but people could see the deep sadness, and he continued to state in a calm tone.

"I met Princess Zhenli at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet last year. As everyone knows, Princess Zhenli had a secret love for me and even chased me south to Yangzhou."

"I am a stubborn person with a dull head. I have been shackled by the injustices of the nine Lu families all my life. I have never understood that true love is the most precious thing in this world. However, Princess Zhenli is very disappointed."

"But Princess Zhenli did not give up. She always treated her wholeheartedly, regardless of worldly views. Even if I am a stone that has been frozen for thousands of years, I should be covered by her sincere heart."

"I have her in my heart, but I don't know it. Until some time ago, there were rumors outside that the woman I was happy with was actually my sister. Princess Zhenli came to see me with a pot of wine. She Let me marry her so that the rumors can be stopped."

"It was the sincerity without any impurities and without asking for anything in return that made Chen Qing fall involuntarily."

"I want to marry her and promise her everything I can give. I will respect her, love her and protect her all my life, and will not let her get a single trace of the wind and rain of the world."

"But at that time, rumors were flying all over the sky, and I didn't want her to suffer any injustice. I didn't want outsiders to maliciously assume that she was just a cover for me to hide my shame, so I had to suppress the matter and prepare to wait for some time to wait until the rumors subsided before I came to propose marriage. .”

"Since then, I have been in frequent contact with Princess Zhenli, but it has always been based on emotion rather than etiquette. I have never done anything rude or disrespectful."

"The will of God is unpredictable. I don't know why I fell into the eyes of the eldest princess. She ignored my wishes several times and forced me to become her consort. Although I clearly told her that I already have someone in my heart, she still refused to give in. He even threatened to destroy the woman I admired if I couldn’t get it.”

"Later, Her Royal Highness the Princess believed the rumors and thought that I was having an affair with Princess Qi. She rushed directly to Princess Qi's room and forced Princess Qi to hand over the minister. This caused Princess Qi to have fetal contractions. This made a big fuss. , almost everyone present knows it.”

"At that time, I had clearly refused, and Her Royal Highness the Princess had already been punished. I thought she would just give up, but unexpectedly..."

The Queen Mother wanted to speak, but was stopped by Emperor Yuanwu's stern eyes.

Lu Mingyong continued to talk: "Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not give up. Instead, she became resentful because of this, and even set her sights of hatred on Princess Zhenli."

"Last night at the palace banquet, she put a strong drug of joy on Princess Zhenli's cup. The Northern Qi envoy went to toast Princess Zhenli. When he went to rescue Princess Zhenli, he accidentally drank the drug. /Happy medicine.”

"As soon as I returned to my seat, I had a reaction, so I left quickly and jumped into the pool in the garden to find the antidote. I originally wanted to go to the imperial doctor, but given the situation last night, I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

"However, I underestimated the power of this medicine. Even if I was immersed in the cold and biting water, I couldn't regain any consciousness. Just when I was about to burst my blood and die, someone came to my side."

"At that time, I lost consciousness, maybe I was about to die! I don't have any memory of what happened next. When I woke up, I knew that someone had detoxified me, but the scene was so clean that it seemed like it had been cleaned deliberately. More than average." "I left there and wanted to find someone who could detoxify me, but it happened that I discovered Princess Zhenli's Bu Yao in an inconspicuous corner under the rockery."

"Immediately afterwards, Zi Qing, the female officer next to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, found me and said that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was inviting me. Something like that happened before, and I didn't want to go at all, but Zi Qing said that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess knew everything about last night."

"I had no choice but to change my clothes and go to see Her Highness the Eldest Princess. Unexpectedly... Her Highness the Eldest Princess came up and told me about Princess Zhenli's detoxification for me. She threatened me to marry her, otherwise I would be punished. If the matter gets out, Princess Zhenli will be ruined."

"Of course I will not obey. I have already harmed the woman I love. How could I not compensate her properly and marry someone else? I never expected that my attitude would eventually anger Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"She rushed up to me and took off my clothes, trying to make me take the blame for scorning her, and then I had to marry her. Fortunately, she didn't have the skills, so I escaped/escaped, and many palace people saw this scene. Here, they can all testify."

"After I escaped from the palace of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, I met Bei Qianhu, who knew that I and Princess Zhenli were connected. He informed me that Princess Zhenli had been invited to Qingning Palace by the Queen Mother."

"Because Her Royal Highness the Princess told me that she had informed the Queen Mother about me and Princess Zhenli, I knew something was wrong, so I hurried to Qingning Palace, only to see my beloved jumping off a tall building."

"I can't imagine what terrible things would happen if I were one step too late? Zhenli was willing to sacrifice her own innocence to save my life. How could she be forced to have a will to die and want to jump off the building in order to find relief? Please, Your Majesty Make the decision for Zhenli!”

After the eldest princess heard this, her anger slowly subsided. As a senior palace fighting expert, she was shocked to realize that it was not only women who could kill people without showing blood.

Lu Mingyong behaved like this, and the eldest princess was naturally not to be far behind. She slowly broke away from Changsun Tao's grasp, walked to Lu Mingyong's side, and knelt down seriously.

"Your Majesty, Zhenli didn't come back after leaving the table last night. I was about to go looking for him, but I received news from King Wu. When I rushed to the palace where King Wu was, I found Zhenli's maid Qingluo. He was lying on the ground without making a sound."

"The King of Wu confessed his mistake to his concubine, saying that he accidentally killed Qingluo because of drunkenness and sexual promiscuity. Later, I learned that when Zhenli discovered that the Duke of Yue was suffering from the drug, he asked Qingluo to report to me. Unfortunately, Qingluo But my life was lost in vain, and the letter was not delivered to my concubine."

The King of Wu had sex after drinking and accidentally killed the princess's maid?

This amount of information was a bit large, and everyone couldn't accept it for a while, but Emperor Yuanwu and the Queen Mother knew how many secrets were hidden behind it.

However, the eldest princess did not focus on it and continued: "The situation last night was really special. I didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so I ordered people to keep Qingluo's body in check first to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in and being frightened by the body." arrive."

"Because I was wearing complicated palace clothes and it was difficult for me to move around, and I didn't want to alert the guards, I returned to the banquet and took advantage of the toast to inform King Qi about Zhenli's disappearance, and asked King Qi to go find Zhenli."

"About half an hour later, King Qi sent someone to tell his concubine that Zhenli had been found. However, due to greed, she caught the cold, so she found a soft sedan and carried her back to the house, taking Qingli away with her. Luo’s body.”

"But when we arrived at the mansion, I discovered... I found Zhenli..." The eldest princess couldn't continue talking anymore and started to cry softly.
