Chapter 668: Gave Herself Up As A Retainer Sacrifice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Could Lu Yunshuang be the one who sent that person to rescue Chen Xuping?
However, Chen Xuping had previously tried to expose Lu Yunshuang. Would she be so forgiving?
However, if Lu Yunshuang did not know that Chen Xuping had planned to sell her out, that would be a different story.
After all, Chen Xuping had done a lot of things for her, and she had used him to her heart’s content. Would she be willing to let a pawn like Chen Xuping lose his purpose so easily?
If it was as she imagined, then the person who appeared in the Duke Chen Mansion last time to snatch the ledger must not have been sent by Lu Yunshuang.
However, if it was not Lu Yunshuang, then who could it be?
Who wanted to help Lu Yunshuang without letting her know about Chen Xuping’s rebellion?
She suddenly felt that there might be another mastermind hiding in the shadows behind Lu Yunshuang.
Who could it be?
Was it Long Chi or the Empress Dowager?
Apart from Lu Yunshuang, who would care about that ledger?
Once that ledger was presented to the Emperor, Lu Yunshuang would be sentenced to death, and at the same time, Long Chi would be implicated too.
Lu Yunshuang and Long Chi were in the same boat, and the misfortune of one would be shared with the other.
However, if Long Chi had sent the person to snatch the ledger, he would not have kept the fact that Chen Xuping tried to expose Lu Yunshuang from her.
Therefore, Long Chi could be excluded as well.
If it was not Lu Yunshuang and Long Chi, then the only person she could think of was Empress Dowager Xiaojing.
Only the Empress Dowager would help these two.
Based on her various assumptions, Lu Liangwei felt that it was most likely that the Empress Dowager was the one who had sent that ledger robber!
All her past confusion seemed to clear up all of a sudden.
She turned and asked Long Yang, “Your Majesty, does the Empress Dowager have any martial arts experts serving her?”
Long Yang was caught by surprise. “Why? Have you thought of something?”
Lu Liangwei explained her speculation to him.
“You think that the person who snatched the ledger from Chu Jiu is working for the Empress Dowager?”
Lu Liangwei nodded. “I also suspect that Lu Yunshuang is involved in Chen Xuping’s abduction.”
Long Yang nodded and said thoughtfully, “Your speculation makes a lot of sense. There is indeed a martial arts expert working for the Empress Dowager.”
“Who is it?”
“Liu Fu.”
“Liu Fu?”
Long Yang caressed her shoulders and explained, “The Empress Dowager used to command a group of covert guards, but all of them died except Liu Fu. This Liu Fu is also the Empress Dowager’s most trusted confidant, and he’s been working for her behind the scenes for many years. When the late Emperor was still alive, the power struggles in the harem were intense, and Liu Fu secretly eliminated a lot of concubines for the Empress Dowager.”
Lu Liangwei’s chest tightened when she heard this.
Were the power struggles in the harem that intense when the late Emperor was still alive?
Back then, Long Yang was still a child and only a prince. There was his mother, too…
He must have had a difficult time living in such a whirlpool.
She could not help reaching out and putting her arms around his waist. “Your Majesty…”
“Huh?” Long Yang turned and looked at her. Seeing her downcast expression, he paused and reached out to grasp her chin. “Do you feel sad for me?”
Lu Liangwei shook her head quickly in embarrassment. “No.” She wanted to withdraw her arms, but he held them in place. “That was all in the past. I actually can’t remember it clearly. Back then, my mother protected me well and didn’t expose me to too much of the filth outside.”
“Then how did your mother…” Lu Liangwei wanted to ask how his mother passed away, but after thinking briefly, she decided against it.
Long Yang kissed her on the forehead. “It’s nothing I can’t talk about. I already said that it’s all in the past. My mother… She gave herself up as a retainer sacrifice.”
Lu Liangwei was startled.. “Gave herself up as a retainer sacrifice?”
