Chapter 41: It Was Actually Him

She remembered that she and Dongli Lucang were only doctor and patient. When did their relationship become so good? He not only called her “Zhizhi,” but also looked at her with that kind of gaze.

“How did you get here?” Yunzhi regained her senses and asked in confusion. Before, Dongli Lucang left without saying goodbye, and she thought they would never see each other again. But she didn’t expect to meet him here, under these circumstances.

She didn’t know what Dongli Lucang came here for. He wouldn’t be here to save her because he knew she was in danger, would he?

Not to mention whether he had that kind of ability, just the fact that he had just barged into the inner courtyard was not a good thing.

If people found out and spread the word, his reputation would be ruined.

“I heard you were captured, so I came to see.” Dongli Lucang said, turning his gaze towards Wang Shi and Wang Yuzhen.

She didn’t know why, but when he looked at them, both Wang Shi and Wang Yuzhen dared not breathe, their legs even went weak.

At this time, An Xiuyuan, who had received the news, also left the guests and rushed to the Ci’an Courtyard. When he saw Dongli Lucang standing in front of Yunzhi, confronting his mother and wife, he almost stumbled and fell.

It was the attendant beside him who was quick-witted and helped him up, preventing him from making a fool of himself.

He quickly entered the room and immediately knelt down in front of Dongli Lucang, saying, “Your humble servant pays his respects to the Regent.”

As soon as the words “Regent” came out, not only did Wang and Wang Yuzhen’s faces turn pale, but Yunzhi was also full of shock. She never dreamed that the man in front of her was her fiancé, the Regent who was second only to the emperor.

Lucang, Dongli Lucang.

Yesterday, she had suspected it, but she didn’t expect that they were actually the same person.

Dongli Lucang looked coldly at An Xiuyuan kneeling before him and said, “Marquis Dingyuan, you have quite the ability. You dare to detain someone without authorization.”

“No, no. Your Highness, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.” An Xiuyuan waved his hand and immediately denied it. He was joking, he could tell from the Regent’s expression that he and Yunzhi not only knew each other, but their relationship was also not shallow.

He was tired of living, so he would detain Yunzhi. Not to mention that he didn’t have the guts, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn’t dare.

Dongli Lucang didn’t speak, but his gaze fell on Wang and Wang Yuzhen. The meaning was clear, he wanted them to give him an explanation.

An Xiuyuan saw this and thought to himself, “This is bad.” He knew what his mother was like. She must have felt embarrassed about today’s incident, and seeing Yunzhi come to his wedding banquet, she blamed it on her.

But he couldn’t admit it.

So, he winked at Wang and Wang Yuzhen while saying, “Your Highness, it must be that Mother missed Yun Shi, so she specially invited her over to talk.”

Wang immediately reacted when she heard this and echoed, “Yes, yes, yes, what Yuan’er said is right. I did miss Yunzhi, so I invited her over. We just finished talking, and I was about to have someone send her out.”

The mother and son sang in unison, it seemed quite plausible. But Yunzhi didn’t give them face, her gaze fell on Wang Yuzhen’s hand, and she said with a smile, “Old Madam did miss me, she missed me so much that she wanted to harm me. Look, the poison is already prepared.”

Wang Yuzhen heard Yunzhi mention poison, and she hurriedly tried to hide the medicine in her hand. But it was too late, not only Dongli Lucang saw it, but An Xiuyuan also saw it.
