Chapter 786 [Under the Brocade 82]
Youyou has been trapped in this small, enclosed space for a while, and she is becoming increasingly anxious. She knows that being imprisoned here like this is not a long-term solution, and she must find a way to escape from this place.
However, the reality was extremely cruel. She was secretly given a muscle softening powder, and her limbs were weak and powerless. Even if she could barely move her body, it would be difficult for her to move quickly, let alone run away. If she moved a little, she would probably be noticed by the guards soon.
On the other hand, Lu Ting's health was getting worse day by day. He knew that he didn't have much time left, but his biggest concern was his son Lu Yi. Lu Yi, on the other hand, stayed up all night, busy with official duties at the Northern Pacification Office. Lu Ting felt sorry for his son's hard work, and repeatedly told him to rest and take care of himself.
At this time, a shocking piece of news came like thunder - the Zhanxing Temple collapsed! The emperor was furious when he learned about this and immediately ordered Lu Ting to come to the palace to see him. Upon hearing this, Lu Yi hurriedly put down his work and rushed to the scene of the accident.
After arriving at the scene, Lu Yi happened to see the workers preparing to discard the discarded wood that was damaged by rain. The workers shook their heads and sighed, saying that these woods that had been eroded by rain could no longer be used.
Afterwards, Lu Yi went to visit Lan Qingxuan without stopping. It turned out that the emperor had specially asked Lan Qingxuan to predict the incident. However, in the face of Lu Yi's questioning, Lan Qingxuan was evasive and vague. After just a few irrelevant words, he mysteriously asked Lu Yi to meet somewhere else.
Lu Yi stared at Lan Qingxuan sharply and said firmly, "Lan Qingxuan, I want to hear the truth!" He thought to himself that there must be something fishy about this batch of wood. At the same time, Shangguan Xi and Xie Xiao were busy preparing to escort this batch of wood to Beijing, and they planned to set off early tomorrow morning.
In the Lu Mansion, Lu Ting's condition is getting worse, but Lu Yi is always concerned about him and comes to deliver medicine to his father. However, Lu Ting's physical condition is getting worse and worse, which makes people worried.
On the other hand, Lu Yi has not given up the investigation of the Starry Sky Temple. After an in-depth investigation, he was surprised to find that the Ministry of Works actually cut corners in the construction of the project, which is undoubtedly a serious violation of the law. Yan Shaoqiong, who has the closest contacts with the Ministry of Works, has been very active in recent days. Not only did he dismiss many servants, but he also removed many of the originally magnificent decorations. Lu Ting speculated that the silver embezzled by the Ministry of Works may have flowed into Yan Shaoqiong's pocket. Thinking of this, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes, and he turned to Lu Yi and said, "Son, this is a rare opportunity, we must seize it."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ting solemnly instructed Lu Yi to read all kinds of files carefully, and announced that from now on, the files of the cases he handled would be written by Lu Yi.
Far away in Yan Song's residence, Yan Song was worried that Lan Qingxuan would often speak to the emperor and bring disaster to the Yan family. But Yan Shifan seemed to be indifferent to this and did not seem to take it to heart.
Since returning to the capital, Lu Yi has not been able to see You You, whom he missed so much. He knows that Yan Shifan must have imprisoned her, but considering the current situation, it might be best for the two sides not to contact each other for the time being.
