Chapter 538 The Real Behind the Scenes
"On the surface, this is a normal clinic. The father and daughter depend on each other for survival. After his wife passed away, they came to Jiangnan from their hometown to settle down. All their past can be traced..."
Shen Yu quickly scanned the account book and answered honestly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Cao, I didn't see the problem, but the person who kept the account was obviously not simple. He remembered every income clearly. If I didn't know that this was the account of the clinic, I would have thought...Huh?"
After looking through it again, Shen Yu finally realized something was wrong, because the accounts showed the repeated purchase and sale of about twenty or thirty kinds of medicinal materials. This was a clinic, not a medicinal material wholesale store!
Seeing that she understood it immediately, Uncle Cao nodded with satisfaction, "Very strange, right? What's even stranger is... we can't find the source of his goods."
He quickly checked with Lu Yingxing and found that it was indeed dark when they waited. "Cangyu, send someone to interrogate the doctor again. We must find out the source of the medicinal materials!"
"Yes! Princess!"
"Yes! Yes! Ha!" Tiantian clapped her hands excitedly and shouted in response.
The old gang leader couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this. He quickly asked people to prepare dinner and left with his two children.
The old master was so focused on taking his kids out for a walk that he had no interest in work. Uncle Cao also said that this was a headache for him.
Lu Yingxing also finished reading the account book silently. Shen Yu saw that he looked serious and couldn't help but feel nervous. "What's wrong?"
He shook his head and said, "No, we have always suspected that the Queen Mother and the Yun family were in cahoots, but Prince De confirmed that it was actually the Emperor's people who sent the concubine out of the palace..."
He pointed to the seven kinds of medicinal herbs in the account book and said, "Madam, do you still remember the medicinal herbs business that the Yun family did with the Beirong people?"
"You mean... this small clinic is the source of supply?"
Supply source? It was another new word, but it didn't affect his understanding.
Lu Yingxing nodded slightly and handed the list to Uncle Cao for review. "I originally thought that the Yun family was cautious in doing business, and all the medicinal materials were collected separately by different families before being sent out of the customs. Of course, our people didn't pay serious attention to the source of the goods. This was our negligence. But if this store is the source, does it mean that the person who really cooperated with the Yun family... is someone else?"
Shen Yu was not surprised by this. These layers of identities were in line with the character of the Dog Emperor in the original book.
She was careless. When did she start to let her guard down against him?
She closed her eyes and started to sort out the clues about the emperor from the time she married Lu Yingxing...
It was only after the appearance of Prince De that she believed the emperor was trustworthy. After all, if it weren't for the deep brotherly love, who would hand over the huge intelligence network of Linyue Kingdom to a paralyzed person? Not to mention that he also controls the external industries of the royal family...
and many more!
At that time, the King of De couldn't even move freely...
Shen Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide and his expression immediately became serious. As a person with limited mobility, was the information he collected really collected on his own initiative?
Now thinking back, who was the emperor showing off his hatred of the enemy to during their last meeting in the palace before leaving Luo City? She asked herself if she didn't have such a big face, so... was it Prince De?
I finally found the answer to that weird feeling I had before!
It wasn't her illusion. The emperor in front of Prince De seemed like a completely different person. How could she explain it?
Just like a sinister hypocrite suddenly becomes cheerful and down-to-earth?
Is this possible? Tsk! It seems that the movie stars of their Lu family are all mass-produced!
"If the Empress Dowager is the scapegoat used by the Emperor, then what about Prince De?" Shen Yu did not think that Prince De would lie to him. The affection he showed to his mother did not seem fake, and the love he showed to the twins came from the heart, so the question was, did he know what kind of person the Emperor was?
Lu Yingxing obviously thought of this, but he thought more deeply. After all, if nothing happened to Prince De, he would be the legitimate heir to the throne...
Uncle Cao did not exchange pleasantries with them any more. Some things were not something he should ask about in his position. After dinner, the family of four returned to the Gu Mansion. However, when she saw that Prince De was actually waiting for Tiantian and Chenchen to come home in the front hall, she swallowed back the questions she had prepared in the morning.
Well, his life has been miserable enough...
The pride of heaven fell into the quagmire in one day, lost the throne, his legs were crippled, and his beloved was indirectly killed by his own mother...Why should she follow his last thoughts of brotherhood?
Let him think that he is a friendly brother. Anyway, since the emperor has to pretend in front of him, if he can pretend for the rest of his life, what difference does it make whether it is true or false?
They had originally planned to rest in Jiangnan for a few days, but since they had discovered the clues, it would not be appropriate to stay for long, so as not to alert the enemy.
Ten days later, the group finally returned to Prince Zhuo's mansion in Luocheng. Even Prince De stayed there with great fanfare, obviously not considering himself an outsider.
Shen Yu was filled with emotion when he stood in front of the folding fan door again. At first he thought it was just a place to enter and walk through, but he didn't expect that he would be walking there for the rest of his life.
The day after they arrived at the palace, their scumbag father Shen Nian came to visit? He said he was here to visit Prince Zhuo, but Shen Yu knew that he must have heard the news. After all, the emperor had always known Yu Mu's identity...
After they returned to Zhuocheng, they discovered the Mohe people and sent the Beirong people to Youcheng. If the emperor was not stupid, he would have been very dissatisfied with this, especially... they directly skipped the emperor and announced to the public that the area outside the pass would be included in the territory of Zhuocheng.
After all, the area outside the Great Wall is more than twice as large as Zhuocheng. I believe that any king who gets this news will be unable to sleep peacefully. Today, Zhuocheng has no external worries, let alone internal troubles, and its territory is not much less than that of the imperial capital Luocheng...
Alas! Sometimes being too good also makes people hate you!
When Lu Mu learned that Shen Nian was coming, he hurried over. Seeing his sister in deep thought, he pursed his lips and wanted to speak but hesitated.
Shen Yu looked at the older brother in front of her. He was only eight years old, but he was exactly like her male version. As long as she had seen the two siblings at the same time, how could she not notice the problem?
"Just say what you want to say. What do you want to say?"
Lu Mu raised his head, took a deep breath and asked, "Does that person know of my existence?"
Shen Yu nodded, "I probably know, then what?"
"Who told him? Isn't my name Lu Mu? Did someone betray us?"
Shen Yu shook his head, "It shouldn't be, there is no evidence to support it, but the emperor has always known your true identity..."
Then he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What do you think the Prince of De feels about the Emperor? Does he truly trust this brother?"
Lu Mu frowned. What does this have to do with his godfather?
But he was used to listening to his sister, so he tried to recall it. However, personal feelings were very vague. If he really wanted to figure it out...
"I think it's trust, but not as much as trust in you."
