Lin Yuyan didn't show off, and made her intention clear straight to the point.

"I haven't thanked the General's Mansion for the donation of medicine before, but this time, my son has been imprisoned, and I really don't know how to save him."

The queen obviously didn't believe that Lin Yuyan could do anything, but she was still quite polite to Lin Yuyan because of her previous gift of medicine, but she still had no energy and her words were weak.

"The person who framed the prince behind his back took action one after another, not wanting to give the prince any room to breathe. Just because he acted so eagerly, it shows that his plan was not very perfect."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Because the case has not yet been tried, and there is not enough evidence, it is best for the Queen to remain calm in front of the Emperor. Only when the other party loses his composure and exposes loopholes can the Crown Prince be rescued."

Lin Yuyan actually felt sorry for the queen like this. As a mother, she naturally knew how worried the queen was about the prince.

But Lin Yuyan was not soft-hearted. She knew that Lu Youyou's statement that the general's family might be wiped out because of the prince was not groundless. So today, she not only came to cooperate with the queen, but also to negotiate some conditions.

"But how can I remain calm? Since Rui'er was imprisoned, I have contacted many people, but if the tree falls and the hozen disperses, how can they still remember that there is such a prince?"

"Many of the officials who originally supported the prince have switched sides, including your cousin."

The queen had known Lin Yuyan's cousin for a long time. After the couple began to support the prince, the prince also supported their family, rising from a minor official to a fourth-rank official.

But they didn't care about any kindness at all. They had just switched to Sheng Jingxuan's camp as soon as the prince was imprisoned.

"That's just my distant cousin. We don't have much friendship with her on weekdays, but I just took this opportunity to let the prince see if the people around him are sincere."

"Oh?" The queen felt that what Lin Yuyan said was a bit ridiculous, "Could it be that the general's wife wants to say that you were unwilling to join the prince's camp when the prince was not born, but now that the prince has fallen, you are willing to join, right?"

"Not really."

Lin Yuyan was very sober and would not let the queen lead her by the nose.

"We will definitely do our best to help His Royal Highness escape, but at the same time, the General's Mansion has a condition that we want to discuss with the Queen."

The queen naturally knew that they would not help the prince for no reason. She was a little flustered at first, but when she heard Lin Yuyan put forward the conditions, she reluctantly calmed down.

"The general's wife said it doesn't matter. As long as I can help the prince escape, I will do my best."

"The conditions are also very simple. After His Highness the Crown Prince escapes, he must not mention the help provided to him by the General's Palace in front of anyone. From the beginning to the end, the General's Palace has never intervened in this matter. This is not only for our sake, but also for the future of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's that simple?"

The queen obviously couldn't believe it.

"In addition, I also hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will take into account the General's Mansion's need to come to the rescue. If the General's Mansion is in dire straits in the future, I don't ask the Crown Prince to come to the rescue, but I only ask the Crown Prince not to add insult to injury."

Lin Yuyan made her words very clear. Although the queen didn't understand it very well, she already had some confidence in her heart.

Since she could talk to this point, it proved that she was sure that she could save the prince.

"Okay, even if I agree to these two things, what should we do next?" Lu Youyou actually didn't expect the prince to remember the kindness of the General's Mansion when he came out. Lin Yuyan said this because of Let the queen rest assured. If she really doesn't mention any conditions, I'm afraid the queen won't feel at ease either.

"But do you already know who is behind the scenes? Isn't it Lao Qi?"

Looking around, among the many princes, he is the one who always has trouble with the prince.

"If only one seventh prince can really send the prince directly to jail? There is inevitably someone else's handiwork involved."

Lin Yuyan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. There were some words that she couldn't explain clearly, but the queen should be able to understand them.

The queen was still cautious and did not immediately agree to Lin Yuyan's request. She returned to the palace to prepare for her own investigation.

It's a pity that the queen has been in the palace for many years, and after all, she has long since lost her hands and eyes.

But after Lin Yuyan reminded her, she began to pay attention to the people around her, and she didn't expect that she actually discovered the clues.

It turns out that the deep love between husband and wife that I thought was just a show played by the emperor in front of her. After being the queen for so many years, she actually had an informant arranged by the emperor.

Because she discovered that someone was watching her, the Queen's movements were restricted in every way. After several attempts to send people out to investigate to no avail, she decided to agree to Lin Yuyan's request.

It was only after Lu Jingyuan got the news that he asked Lu Wushuang to investigate the matter.

Lu Wushuang has been out all year round and has good skills, but he has little experience in investigating cases. In order to confirm the cause of death of the Minister of Civil Affairs, he went to Yizhuang first.

Because the prince was involved, even the corpses in Yizhuang were guarded by dedicated personnel. Lu Wushuang walked around several times before finding an opportunity to sneak in.

It looked no different from an ordinary poisoning death. It was dark and Lu Wushuang didn't dare to turn on the light. Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth. He could only confirm that apart from the poisoning, he had no other fatal injuries on his body.

"I don't understand pharmacology, so I can't see any problem at all."

Lu Wushuang returned to the general's mansion out of breath and drank several sips of tea before he recovered.

"Generally, the symptoms of poisoning and death are similar. If you are not proficient in pharmacology, you will not notice any difference at all."

Lu Zhiyan also knew that the third brother would not gain much from going this time.

"Let's take another look. Fortunately, the guards are only soldiers from the yamen. Their skills are average, but there are many people, so it doesn't take much effort to get in."

At any rate, I stepped back a little bit and came back, so it’s not like I got nothing.

"Why don't I go there with you another day?"

Lu Zhiyan always felt that if he continued like this without a breakthrough, he would not be able to save the prince.

"It's better not to alert the enemy yet. We'll go to the minister's house tomorrow and have a look before making a decision."

Lu Jingyuan was not prepared to let Lu Zhiyan get involved in this matter. He had encountered too many bad things a while ago, and he was not a member of the imperial court. If someone caught him again, it would be difficult to escape. .
