Chapter 596 Song Tingshan is His Majesty's Bloodline
Lu Xiao's injury was not fatal, but he looked extremely embarrassed. The Lu family immediately sent a number of people to chase the assassins.
Unfortunately, the other party was well prepared. The Lu family chased them for a long time but failed to catch even a single person.
Lu Xiao asked a doctor to treat his wound and looked at his trusted men in front of him.
"How many people are there on the other side?" Lu Xiao asked with a serious face.
"At least twenty or thirty." one person answered.
"Twenty or thirty people, and you didn't leave any one behind?" Lu Xiao found it ridiculous. The Lu family had been working hard for many years, and although he had many experts under his command, they were definitely not inferior to others.
But now, the other party openly attempted to assassinate the General's Mansion, and not only did they succeed, but they didn't even leave a single assassin behind!
"General, these people are mysterious and are all top-notch experts. Many of our men were killed or wounded. It's really..."
The man felt ashamed when he was halfway through his words.
Another person said, "I think the other party doesn't want to leave any clues, so he would rather fail to complete the task than leave any clues."
Lu Xiao obviously agreed with this point of view. After all, the other party was not without an advantage, nor was he unable to succeed.
But they would rather give up and get away, and it is obvious that they don't want to leave any clues.
Who is he!
Lu Xiao felt heavy-hearted. The Princess of Changning County was just an unfavored daughter of the Shen family. How could she have such great abilities?
Who in the capital has so many experts under his command?
He couldn't possibly be completely unaware!
Or has someone already been eyeing the Lu family?
"Go check! All those who have had contact with Princess Changning must be thoroughly investigated!" Lu Xiao ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!"

After Ye Lan and Canghai returned, they reported the results of the battle to Xie Jingchi.
While Xie Jingchi was pouring tea, he said, "The day after tomorrow, someone from Jiangnan will arrive in the capital. You go to the dock to meet him and make sure he is safe."
"Yes!"
On the other hand, not long after Shen Shuyi returned home, he received a box of candies sent by Xie Jingchi.
She actually doesn't like sweet food, but this crystal clear thing looks beautiful.
"It would be great if this was a box of gems. It's hot in the room now, and the candy will melt if left alone for a while." Jinzhu complained as she put the things away.
Shen Shuyi smiled: "I think so too, gemstones are still beautiful."
Qin Xin and Jian Po looked at each other. Why did the master always send these things? Was there so many jewels in the warehouse waiting to give birth?
Yuping smiled and said, "Don't keep it in the house. Lock it up and put it outside. It can be kept for a long time."
At this time, Feicui hurried in from outside: "Miss, someone is coming from the palace."
Shen Shuyi originally thought that it was Tong Guan who sent someone to deliver the message, until he saw that the person was Aunt Songyi from Xiangfei's courtyard.
Qin Xin helped Shen Shuyi stand up: "Aunt Songyi, please sit down."
Song Yi looked at Shen Shuyi with a smile: "Your Majesty has been waiting for news. As long as the county lady survived yesterday, I will let this old servant give this thing to you."
As she spoke, Songyi handed out a box and pushed it in front of Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi opened the box and couldn't help but squint.
The jade pendant that the girl stuffed into her hand that day now had an additional circular outer ring. When put together with the rectangular jade pendant, it became a ring-shaped jade pendant, which was quite unique.
"The county princess sent someone to take this jade pendant to the Yuan family in Jiangnan. The Yuan family will definitely use all their strength to help the county princess." Song Yi said in a low voice.
Shen Shuyi picked up the jade pendant and suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is the real token of the Yuan family.
"Your Majesty is so righteous. I, on behalf of all the people in the world, thank you." Shen Shuyi spoke seriously.
Only then did she realize that Xiang Fei's failure to fully agree yesterday was also a test for her.
If she died at the hands of the Lu family last night, then all the promises made before would be in vain.
Nanny Songyi looked at Shen Shuyi and nodded with satisfaction.
"Please, Princess, find out the truth and give justice to the young lady and the late Second Prince!" Songyi stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Shuyi.
She is just a servant and doesn't have this ability.
But the young lady had been so kind to her in the past, and she didn't want her to die in such an unclear way!
"Don't worry, Ma'am. Shuyi will fight for her life." Shen Shuyi helped her up.
Caught in the vortex of power and desire, no one can guarantee that they will escape unscathed. She can only promise that as long as she lives, she will get to the bottom of it.
Look up and be worthy of heaven, look down and be worthy of earth, act without shame towards others, and be worthy of your conscience.
Nanny Songyi looked at Shen Shuyi, and a smile that was not very pretty appeared on her weathered face.
"A gentleman in the world should be like a county lady."
Shen Shuyi smiled: "There are countless people in the world who are just like Shuyi."

After Nanny Songyi left, Shen Shuyi gave the jade pendant to Qinxin.
"Go and send a message to Jiang Li, asking him to go to Jiangnan as soon as he is done with his work, find someone who is willing to go to Beijing to testify, and take the token from Concubine Xiang to the Yuan family to ask for help."
"Yes."
Then, Shen Shuyi looked at Jinzhu: "How is Lou Yulan and Song Tingshan's marriage going?"
"The news from Jiuchou says that the two families have already started the marriage negotiation process, and Lou Yulan has already calmly prepared her wedding dress at home."
"Where is Shen Jingyu?" Shen Shuyi leaned on the couch, seeming a little tired.
"Shen Jingyu moved out of the house that Song Tingshan had arranged for her to stay in, and hired a few people. She rarely shows up now, and has only been trying to find out the news in the capital."
Shen Shuyi sneered: "She is really patient."
In that case, let her help her make the decision.
Shen Shuyi stood up, took the pen and ink, picked up the pen with his left hand, changed the font, and hurriedly wrote a line of words.
[Song Tingshan is your majesty's bloodline, and was replaced by the wife of the Duke of Cheng during the Wen'an Rebellion.]
After writing, Shen Shuyi folded the paper, stuffed it into the letter, and looked at Jianpo: "Send it to Shen Jingyu, don't let her find you."
"Yes."
At this moment, Shen Jingyu was sitting at the desk, still struggling.
Now, she has no cards in her hand. The only chips left are the leverage over Concubine Rou and the five million taels of silver.
If she loses again, she will have no chance of survival.
Do you want to marry Song Tingshan?
Shen Jingyu thought for a long time but still couldn't make up her mind. Until then, a dart shot in from the window and hit the long table in front of Shen Jingyu.
Shen Jingyu's heart sank, and she looked carefully. It was a letter.
She stood up and looked out the window, not seeing anyone. She frowned and opened the letter.
When she saw that short line of words, her pupils shrank slightly.
Song Tingshan...is your Majesty’s son?
how can that be!
Shen Jingyu's heart was pounding non-stop. She felt nervous and excited. Her head was buzzing and even aching.
But if... this is true...
To her, that was simply God's mercy, and God gave her another chance!
It’s this face of hers…How can this face of hers win Song Tingshan’s favor?
Shen Jingyu hurriedly grabbed the mirror, but when she looked at her face full of pus in the mirror, she began to gag.
The pus scars on this face appear repeatedly. It is considered good when they form scabs, but otherwise they are mostly abscesses.
No, no, no...I shouldn't think about this issue now. If what this letter says is true, the most urgent thing is to marry Song Tingshan first.
