"Third Prince, why did you come to me?"

Shen Yun'an, who came hurriedly, was confused by Ye Zimo's intention.

Ye Zimo glanced at Shen Yun'an, and then uttered a few words, "Xu Yuan is dead."

"What...what?"

Shen Yun'an was shocked and stood there, with disbelief in his eyes, "Third Prince, are you kidding me?"

"Humph, I am so leisurely and elegant."

"In addition to telling you these things, I also want to tell you about the buying and selling of official positions involved by my grandfather." Ye Zimo

's eyes fell on Shen Yun'an, "Some things are inconvenient for me, and after thinking about it, you are the most suitable."

Shen Yun'an was still immersed in the fact that Xu Yuan was dead. He knew that the third prince had no need to lie to him about such a thing.

But wasn't Xu Yuan the savior of the Regent King, and the apprentice of Bai Guzhu of Yaowang Valley, not to mention that Xu Jing was there, how could such a change happen.

Before leaving, Shen Yun'an couldn't help but ask Ye Zimo, "Third Prince, may I ask you one more question about why Xu Yuan died?"

Ye Zimo sneered, "Why, Lord Shen wants to help Xu Yuan get revenge?"

"I dare not."

Shen Yun'an replied.

"Xu Yuan should have thought of this end when he promised to let my eldest brother stand up."

"Lord Shen, you are a smart man, don't play with fire."

Shen Yun'an, who returned to the Marquis' Mansion, was still thinking about what Ye Zimo said. Xu Yuan deserved this end, but for some reason Shen Yun'an felt very complicated.

If this woman could be more obedient to him like Rou'er, why would it be like this? Would

n't it be better for her to raise a child for him and Lu Rou obediently, and she would not lose anything in terms of food, clothing, and status? She had to make so many things happen.

Now, she has lost her life as well.

"My Lord, it's not good. Aunt Lu has not eaten or drunk since she was confined. Now she has passed out."

Shen Yun'an frowned and quickly went to the courtyard where Lu Rou was. When he arrived, Lu Rou had already woken up from her coma, and she looked even more aggrieved when she saw Shen Yun'an.

"Rou'er, what are you doing?"

After all, she was the woman he loved. Facing Lu Rou's tearful appearance, Shen Yun'an said helplessly.

"Brother Yun'an, please don't put me in confinement, okay? I just want to see Yi'er, and I don't want to make a big deal out of it."

Lu Rou begged Shen Yun'an, "Brother Yun'an, think about it, since Xu Yuan knows about the substitution, how can he be good to our Yi'er."

"You don't have to worry about it in the future."

Shen Yun'an replied. He was silent for a moment, and replied in Lu Rou's puzzled eyes, "Because Xu Yuan is dead."

"Ah?"

Lu Rou was shocked for a while, and then showed a surprised expression. It can be seen that Shen Yun'an frowned and did not dare to show his joy too much.

"Brother Yun'an, since Xu Yuan is dead, when can we bring the child back?"

"Let me think about this carefully."

Shen Yun'an always felt that this matter revealed something strange, especially Xu Jing's side.

With Xu Jing's care for his daughter Xu Yuan, how could there be no movement at all? Logically, the Duke's Mansion has been in turmoil for a long time.

Shen Yun'an didn't want to say too much to Lu Rou. He just comforted her a few words and released her from confinement when he left.

Knowing the news that Xu Yuan was dead, Lu Rou had long forgotten the previous unhappiness.

The first thing she did after being released from confinement was to come to Chun'er's courtyard.

Chun'er was obviously a little surprised by Lu Rou's arrival. Seeing that Lu Rou was not alone and had a maid behind her, she knew that Lu Rou was able to come out because Shen Yun'an released her confinement.

"Lu Rou, what are you doing here?"

Chun'er frowned, wary of Lu Rou's behavior.

Lu Rou winked at the people she brought with her, signaling them to leave first, and then she said to Chun'er complacently, "Chun'er, have you already known about the child swap, and you still want to be Xu Yuan's accomplice?" "

Did the Marquis tell you this?"

Chun'er snorted coldly, "Chun'er, I've said before that you are just a maid, and I've been with Brother Yun'an for many years. Brother Yun'an even agreed to swap Xu Yuan's child, so how could he care about you?"

In front of Chun'er, Lu Rou was full of the attitude of a winner.

"But even if you are Xu Yuan's accomplice, it doesn't matter. Xu Yuan is dead now."

"What did you say?" Chun'er was obviously shocked by Lu Rou's words. It can be seen that Lu Rou's appearance does not seem to lie, which makes her suspicious.

"This is what Brother Yun'an told me personally, Chun'er, I came here to tell you that you are no longer useful, you'd better be quiet, otherwise Xu Yuan's death will be your fate in the future!"

Lu Rou finished speaking harshly to Chun'er, and then left happily.

During this time, Xu Yuan stayed in a separate courtyard in the capital in order not to attract attention.

Her engagement with Ye Siyan was thus finalized. Except for her father and Bai Guzhu, other people in the capital only knew that the regent was going to marry a princess, but the specific candidate was unknown.

"Miss, I and Bai Guzhu are here to see you."

Cui Liu and Bai Guzhu entered the house from the back door. Xu Yuan was not worried about being discovered by others. One reason was that Ye Siyan secretly sent more people, and the other was that there was a mechanism. If someone did not know the mechanism, others would be injured if they entered.

"Master."

Xu Yuan came and his eyes fell on Bai Guzhu.

Bai Guzhu nodded, "I have asked the regent to take the antidote. The remaining toxins in his body have been resolved with your previous treatment."

"As for Yi'er, he is the same."

Bai Guzhu brought two good news to Xu Yuan as soon as he arrived.

"Also, Shen Yun'an once came to me and wanted me to treat his mother. What do you think about this?"

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Master, the poison that Shen Yun'an's mother was poisoned with is extraordinary, and because of her physical condition, it has long been slowly infiltrated."

At the beginning, she saw what Lu Rou did, and wanted to remind Shen Yun'an, but Shen Yun'an didn't know how to respect her.

What happened now is what he deserves.

"Master, if you could be in the Marquis' Mansion, I think Shen Yun'an would take some action."

"Master understands."

Master Bai Gu quickly understood Xu Yuan's intention.

In the palace.

The emperor was furious when he learned about what the Shangshu Mansion had done.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince wants to see you."

The emperor raised his hand.

The eldest prince in a wheelchair was pushed in, and the guards walked out quickly.

"Father, I have a piece of evidence here, which is about the assassination that year and the evidence of my leg disease."

After hearing this, the emperor stood up and came to Ye Zilan, took the letters, and was furious when he saw the contents on them.
