Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 206 The man behind the scenes

Nan Feng hurriedly followed, but just as he got closer, he heard his master say to Lu Yunzheng in a calm voice, "Get in the car."

Nanfeng's face changed when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something to persuade him, Lu Yunzheng had already gotten into the carriage with a numb expression.

"Sir, that Lu Yunzheng——"

"No problem, Nanfeng, you should still drive to the palace. It's still early, so go through Chaotian Street."

Jiang Xun gave some instructions and got on the carriage.

Seeing this, Nanfeng said no more and immediately sat on the carriage to drive the horse, but he did not dare to be careless. He kept his nerves tense and was always on guard against Lu Yunzheng.

Jiang Xun lifted the curtain and walked in. Before he could even sit down, he heard Lu Yunzheng's hoarse voice say, "I want to see Shen Jiasui."

Jiang Xun looked up and saw Lu Yunzheng's bloodshot eyes in the dim carriage.

"Why? Do you want to admit your mistake, apologize, repent, or beg for mercy?"

Jiang Xun raised his lips slightly, no longer the cold and reserved person he was in front of outsiders. There was a hint of sarcasm and coldness at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yunzheng's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and then his expression changed in shock, "She really told you everything!"

If it was just because of the broken engagement in this life, Jiang Xun would not have said words of repentance and begging for forgiveness.

"So, those letters from the Command Department were indeed written to me by you and Shen Jiasui under the name of Prince Xiang?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xun leaned back slightly, leaned against the car wall, and responded very straightforwardly.

Lu Yunzheng suddenly gritted his teeth, his face grim, and said quickly, "I've found out everything now, I know everything. You led me all the way to investigate, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Do you want to see me in pain and despair, want me to admit my mistakes, or do you want me to kill Gu Xizhi with my own hands?"

The atmosphere in the car was very tense.

Jiang Xun leaned against the car wall, his entire face almost hidden in the inky light. Only occasionally a ray of light sneaked in from the car curtain and lightly swept across his tall nose.

"Looking at you like this, Gu Xizhi doesn't know that you have discovered everything?"

Jiang Xun opened his mouth, but his words were irrelevant.

Lu Yunzheng was slightly stunned.

When he left, he did put all the letters back in their original places, and even straightened out the corners of clothes in the suitcase that were raised because of him. He was so cautious that he believed he had left no flaws.

If he had killed Xizhi in his impulse last night, everything would have been over, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

And Prince Rui...

Prince Rui already knew about the existence of the letter. If he destroyed it rashly, Prince Rui would definitely not let it go. Then I'm afraid that my father and the Lu family would be implicated again...

Lu Yunzheng was in a state of confusion and couldn't make any sense for a moment. The only instinctive thought in his mind was to restore everything to its original state.

He needed time to breathe, calm down, and figure out his past and present life clearly before considering how to deal with it all.

After doing all this, he fled from the villa, and finally found the Anyang Earl's Mansion after wandering around.

As soon as Jiang Xun saw Lu Yunzheng's expression, he knew the answer and nodded immediately, "This is much simpler."

Lu Yunzheng suddenly raised his head upon hearing this, his expression slightly distorted. "What exactly do you mean? Jiang Xun, what exactly do you and Shen Jiasui want to do?"

Jiang Xun raised his eyes and looked directly at Lu Yunzheng, his face covered with frost and his voice was cold.

"Do you want to see Sui Sui because you truly know you were wrong? Do you feel guilty and have a bad conscience, and want to be forgiven?"

"Or are you eager to get out of this current quagmire and whirlpool, and then wave your sleeves and start over?"

Lu Yunzheng's thoughts were exposed by Jiang Xun.

He was indeed prepared to have a frank talk with Shen Jiasui, and he was willing to apologize for what he had done in his previous life.

But the purpose of doing this is to get rid of everything in the capital, get rid of the past life, and get rid of Shen Jiansui's hatred.

He wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, fight the enemy openly and honestly, and start over.

The sarcasm on Jiang Xun's face made Lu Yunzheng feel a little at a loss. He opened his mouth, realizing that he was always at a disadvantage in front of Jiang Xun, and couldn't help feeling a little angry and embarrassed.

"Since Shen Jiasui has confessed to you, there's nothing I can't say."

"Everything in my previous life was led by Prince Xiang. I was wrong, and I don't deny it."

"But now that Prince Xiang has been imprisoned for life, as long as the letter is destroyed, the Shen family's disaster will naturally be resolved."

"What else does Shen Jiasui want? Do you want me to pay you back with my life again?"

"Everyone makes mistakes. Now God has given me the opportunity to make amends and repent. Shen Jiasui can get what he wants, so why does he have to keep pestering me?"

"Do you, Jiang Xun, dare to say that you are perfect and have never made a mistake?"

Lu Yunzheng raised his voice slightly, as if trying to give himself more confidence.

Jiang Xun sneered and slowly sat up straight.

"Be lenient with yourself and strict with others, Master Lu, you are really lenient with yourself."

"You call your actions, such as disregarding the lives of entire families for your own selfish desires, 'wrong'?"

"This is clearly a sin, a crime, and an evil!"

Jiang Xun's lips turned slightly pale due to anger, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his whole body was wrapped in a sharp edge.

Anyone who saw him like this could clearly feel the rage surging in his heart.

Lu Yunzheng's momentum weakened, and a guilty look flashed in his eyes. He was about to retort, but Jiang Xun continued in a cold voice:

"You just said that everything in your previous life was led by Prince Xiang?"

When Lu Yunzheng heard this question, his expression changed and he asked back, "Isn't it?"

Jiang Xun's lips curled slightly when he heard this, "What if I tell you that, whether in the past life or this life, the person Gu Xizhi has always followed is Prince Rui?"

Lu Yunzheng was slightly startled, and subconsciously retorted: "How can this be--"

The next words suddenly stopped.

He took it for granted that the letter was in Prince Xiang's hands, and that the person Xizhi had relied on in her previous life was Prince Xiang.

But if Xizhi had been following Prince Rui from the beginning to the end, this... was a much bigger game than he had imagined!

He works for Prince Xiang, and Xizhi works for Prince Rui.

He did not hide anything from Xizhi, which meant that Prince Rui knew everything about Prince Xiang's actions that involved him.

In the previous life, Xizhi gave those letters to Prince Rui. Prince Rui did not do it himself, but instead tried every means to deliver the letters to Prince Xiang.

Prince Xiang was no pushover, and he planned to get rid of my father and the Shen family, and help him take the throne so that he could seize the military power.

It was originally thought that with the military power in his hands, Prince Xiang would have a good chance of winning.

But the Shen family is innocent after all, and those letters were not left by Shen Zhengsheng as a traitor.

Therefore, Prince Rui only needs to find a suitable opportunity to "rehabilitate" the Shen family after the Shen family is eliminated, and then the "truth" will become -

Prince Xiang is so crazy that he fabricated false evidence and framed loyal officials in order to seize military power!

As an accomplice of Prince Xiang in framing the Shen family, he will probably end up... dead without a burial place!

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng's heart began to beat wildly, his breathing became heavy and rapid, and he almost couldn't sit still.

If this is true, then when he returns to the capital, his death will probably be not far away.

And Xizhi... From the moment Xizhi hooked up with Prince Rui, she has been pushing him towards death step by step without mercy!
