Chapter 204 - 202. Suspicion II (1/2)

Third-person POV

Seeing that Weisheng and Lu Ping were going to discuss something very important, Qiyi immediately cast a soundproof barrier around them.

For the culprits to target Da Qi's strongest point yet also weakest point, they must be very knowledgeable about Da Qi.

Lu Ping: ”The timing for every event is ridiculously perfect. Just after Great General Xu lost more than half of his military power, he was captured for treachery. Someone must plan all of this for a long time. However, only a few of us know about Great General Xu's secret base.”

Weisheng: ”How many people know about it?”

Lu Ping: ”The royal family, Lu family, and…. Wei Yunru…. Don't tell me.”

Weisheng also didn't want to believe that Wei Yunru was the mastermind of everything that had happened.

Lu Ping: ”The three of us have been friends since we were young, it is unbelievable that he betray us like this. He is a very composed and reasonable man, what made him do this?”

Weisheng: ”I wonder.”

Qiyi: ”Your Majesty Emperor, please forgive this servant for being nosy but this servant feels that this is quite important.”

Weisheng: ”Speak.”

Qiyi: ”Wei Gongzi often meet-up with Miss Murong.”

Lu Ping: ”Miss Murong? That Murong Qing?”

Qiyi: ”Yes. It was only the two of them and the location they chose was…”

Lu Ping: ”Inn? Did they spend their lone time in the room?”

Qiyi: ”Yes, they did.”

Lu Ping sighed and turned his eyes towards the frowning Weisheng, he needed to investigate everything once again to make sure his assumption.

Lu Ping: ”No wonder Murong Qing could slip into the palace and found. So what are we going to do?”

Weisheng: ”Like you said, he is our friend. No matter how cold-hearted I am, it is hard for me to kill my childhood friend.”

Lu Ping's eyes immediately turned solemn.

Lu Ping: ”What would you do if I say he is trying to kill the Empress?”

Weisheng widened his eyes in shock as he whipped his head towards Lu Ping. Weisheng fully trust Lu Ping as Lu Ping is his cousin and he himself wasn't an idiot, he exactly knew what Lu Ping was trying to say.

Lu Ping: ”Why do you think he annihilated Great General Xu's power and got him arrested under the imperial decree? It is to distract Her Majesty Empress's attention.

Both of us aware of how vicious he is. He will do anything to obtain his desired thing and it is Murong Qing that he desires upon.

And that Murong Qing wants you.”

Weisheng silently listened to his cousin's exposition with a grim expression.
