Shengjing Noble

Chapter 409: Planning and Frame-up

Next was the Seventh Prince Fu Mingchuan, who was even more of a transparent person. Even though he stayed in Shengjing due to illness, he never left the house.

If it weren’t for Doctor Xue, Su Lanyin might never have had any contact with him.

However, after getting to know him, she discovered that Fu Mingchuan was talented. If it weren't for his physical condition, he would have been a big threat to Fu Mingheng.

As for the eighth and ninth princes, they are twins, born to Concubine Lan, the most favored concubine in the palace, and are only three years old.

After calculating this way, Su Lanyin discovered a problem.

Any prince who has some abilities but no one to protect him is either dead or sick.

I heard that the second prince's mother is Concubine Hua, who is the niece of the Empress Dowager's maternal family. She has a noble status and strong support.

Originally, the Queen and the Crown Prince were the most hostile to him, and he was also the most likely candidate for the position of Crown Prince.

It's just that he didn't have any ambitions and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the princess, so when the crown prince was appointed, he took the initiative to ask to go to his fiefdom.

The Fourth Prince was indeed talented and ambitious, but he did not survive.

As for the others, it is really difficult to choose.

Su Lanyin looked at the name written on the paper with a sad face. She pondered for a long time and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Oh right! How could I forget the most important person! He is also a prince, but he is the prince of the previous emperor!"

She quickly wrote the three words "Fu Wuyang" on the paper!

If he is supported to become the next emperor, he will definitely do his best to protect the Lu family.

Then from now on, won’t everything be worry-free?

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin became excited, but then she turned confused.

He was loyal to his brother who was the emperor, so how could he possibly try to seize the throne from his nephews?

Moreover, he targeted the prince only because Fu Mingheng had done many bad things, not for his own personal gain.

This kind of person, even if the throne is really placed in front of him, I am afraid he would not even bother to sit on it.

Su Lanyin had a headache, and her eyes unconsciously fell on the three words "Fu Mingchuan" again.

If the poison can be cured, will he be qualified to take the throne?

With the strength of the Lu family, it should not be difficult to support a prince to seize the throne.

But what if it can’t be cured?

Su Lanyin thought about it and finally crossed out everyone's name, leaving only Fu Mingchuan and Fu Wuyang.

No matter what, the only ones the Lu family has to pay are the two of them!

After all, she doesn't understand other people. What if she supports an ungrateful person who then gets rid of him?

So, instead of placing your hopes on people you are uncertain about, you might as well bet on the people you know best.

After taking a last look at the name on the paper, Su Lanyin had already quietly laid a net in her heart. Then she picked up the paper, threw it into the charcoal brazier beside her, and burned it to ashes.

Su Lanxin, haven't you made up your mind to become the Crown Princess and then use Fu Mingheng to destroy the Lu family and destroy me?

Then I will completely shatter your dream of becoming the Crown Princess!

……

In a blink of an eye, more than a month later.

Shengjing City.

After a month of hard work, not only did Su Shengyan's health recover, but his martial arts skills also improved a lot.

He has been paralyzed for so long that all the meridians in his body have been blocked. The most important thing this month is to open up these meridians and restore his previous martial arts skills.

"The registration for the martial arts champion competition ends tomorrow. Son, are you sure you can participate with your physical condition? Otherwise, we have to wait another three years?" Lu Wanjun was a little worried.

After all, she was terribly scared.

The scene of Su Shengyan falling off the horse covered in blood three years ago is still vivid in my mind.

Now, her son has to return to the competition arena. How can she, as a mother, not be worried?

So she was very scared, and before Su Shengyan backed down, she already had the intention to escape.

Su Lanyin comforted him, "Don't worry, mother. Big brother will be fine as long as I'm here."

Su Shengyan nodded: "Yes, I was ambushed last time. This time, I will be careful."

Speaking of this, Su Lanyin asked, "Brother, when I asked you about the situation before, you always said you couldn't remember it clearly. But can you try to recall it again now? I'm worried that you will encounter the same danger."

Su Shengyan looked helpless: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I just don't know, because I was very careful throughout the whole process, but I didn't know which link went wrong. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late."

Lu Wanjun also agreed, "Yes, the emperor specifically ordered the Dali Temple Shaoqing to investigate the case, but they didn't find out what kind of poison Shengyan was poisoned with or where he was poisoned. In the end, they just said that he accidentally entered the restricted area of ​​the hunting forest and inhaled a large amount of miasma, which caused him to go blind."

"What about the tendons of the hands and feet?"

Su Shengyan recalled: "I did enter the forest at that time, but the hunting competition was about who could kill the biggest black bear, and the bear was hiding deep in the forest."

"When I was riding over there, I didn't see any poison barrier. Before I knew it, my eyes went dark and I fell off the horse, and then I lost consciousness."

"When I woke up, I found that I couldn't see and the tendons in my hands and feet were cut. I had no memory of what happened, and I didn't know who did it."

Su Lanyin had also asked about these things in her previous life, but to no avail.

So she gradually thought it was an accident.

But now thinking about it, everything was too strange. She would never believe that someone was not behind the plot.

The Su family does not have the ability to take action in the martial arts champion competition.

Then there is only one person who has this means.

Prince's tutor Mingheng!

As for why he did this, there was only one reason.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin asked, "Brother, before you participated in the Wu Zhuangyuan competition three years ago, did anyone approach you privately or hint at you anything?"

"Hint me..." Su Shengyan fell into deep thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes!"

"Is he the prince's man?"

"Yes! Yinyin, how did you know?"

Su Lanyin understood everything. She sneered and said, "Did you reject his suggestion?"

"You also know this? At that time, that person claimed to be an adviser to the prince. He said that the prince admired people who were both civil and military. If I wanted, he could introduce me to the prince."

"Then what did you say?"

"Of course I refused. This was obviously an attempt to get me to side with him. How could I be so stupid as to agree to his request? Wait, could this be the reason why I…"

"That's why!" Su Lanyin said in a very firm tone.

Hearing this, Lu Wanjun was furious: "What? That bastard prince actually poisoned and murdered someone just because they refused to see him? Does he know that he has ruined my son's life? If it weren't for Yinyin, my Shengyan would still be lying in bed, blind, with his limbs broken!"

As she spoke, she began to cry out of grievance for her son, and she was so heartbroken that she kept beating her chest.

"It's all because of my useless mother. If I had known this earlier, I would have taken precautions and would have sought justice for you. It's all because of my uselessness that my son has suffered so much for nothing..."

Su Shengyan quickly hugged Lu Wanjun and comforted her: "Mother, this is not your fault, it's their fault!"
