"Kang 'er, you heard it too. Lu Yuan is loyal and devoted. Why would he assassinate someone?”
At this moment, Consort Sun spoke again.
However, Liu Yixuan stood up as soon as he finished speaking.
"Imperial Mother, the assassination is happening right in front of our eyes, how could we be mistaken…"
Liu Yixuan looked like he was complaining. It was obvious that he was not slow in speaking to Consort Sun.
After all, he had long disliked Lu Yuan's actions.
Now that he finally had the chance to punish Lu Yuan, how could he let Consort Sun ruin his plans?
Hearing Liu Yixuan's words, Imperial Consort Sun was naturally furious.
This son of his!
Why couldn't he differentiate between friend and foe?
One had to know that the reason why she colluded with Lu Yuan was to make plans for Liu Yixuan!
"Xuan 'er, shut up. I'm talking to your elder brother. You have no right to interrupt!”
Consort Sun immediately shouted,
To prevent Liu Yixuan from causing trouble again.
Liu Yixuan naturally didn't dare to say another word in the face of Consort Sun's scolding.
Even Liu Yixuan was like this.
The others naturally did not dare to interrupt.
At this moment, Imperial Consort Sun turned around again.
He looked at Liu Yikang.
However, Liu Yikang remained calm and composed from the beginning to the end.
Since he wanted to teach Lu Yuan a lesson…
How could she be stopped by Imperial Consort Sun?
So when he saw Empress Sun looking at him, Liu Yikang immediately chuckled and said,
" Consort Dowager's words make sense. In fact, I don't believe that Lu Hujun would assassinate me. However, as the saying goes, there's no telling what's in a person's heart…How about this? As long as Lu Hujun swears that he has nothing to do with these assassins, I'll believe him. I believe that even if this matter spreads, no one will suspect that Lu Hujun has any ill intentions…"
Liu Yikang said lightly. His request was extremely simple.
Even Lu Yuan was surprised.
He was stunned.
As long as he swore an oath, he could prove his innocence?
Wasn't it too simple?
"Lu Yuan, Kang 'er has already said so. Aren't you willing?!”
Seeing Lu Yuan in a daze, Empress Sun could not help but shout,
At this moment, Lu Yuan's father, Lu Yandi, also hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.
"Yuan-er, Your Highness, have mercy. Aren't you going to agree quickly?”
Lu Yuan had a hint of hesitation on his face. He kept feeling that there was something wrong.
However, he could not tell the specific reason.
In the end, he agreed.
"If Your Highness can trust me, Lu Yuan is willing to swear an oath to prove his innocence!”
Lu Yuan said righteously because he had no other choice.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had agreed, Consort Sun and Lu Yan's younger brother thought that they would be able to sneak in just like that.
A hint of relief flashed across their faces.
However, they didn't notice that Liu Yikang's face had a wicked smile on it.
The fish had taken the bait!
" Today, I, Lu Yuan…"
At this moment, Lu Yuan raised his hand high and pointed out,
However, just as Lu Yuan opened his mouth, Liu Yikang's voice sounded again, stopping Lu Yuan.
"Lu Hujun, since you swore to make this king believe your intentions, shouldn't you do as this king asked?”
Liu Yikang smiled.
However, Lu Yuan felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
His intuition told him that a conspiracy led by Liu Yikang was approaching him.
"What's wrong? Lu Hujun was afraid? Lu Hujun, don't worry, everything I said is reasonable. If Lu Hujun is upright, he doesn't need to be afraid of the shadows. If Lu Hujun really colluded with the assassins…then…"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was hesitating, Liu Yikang continued to speak.
Liu Yikang didn't finish his words, but his meaning was self-evident.
Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly, then he agreed immediately.
"Alright, we'll listen to Your Highness's arrangements!”
Because of Liu Yikang's words, he was once again forced into a desperate situation, leaving him with no other choice.
Seeing that Lu Yuan agreed again, the smile on Liu Yikang's face grew wider.
"This Prince's request is very simple. Lu Hujun only needs to swear that he did not know that the people tonight were assassins. Also, since Consort Dowager trusts you so much, you can swear on Consort Dowager. If you lie, you will make Consort Dowager lose her sight, have her chest pierced, and die a horrible death!”
Liu Yikang spoke again.
In fact, there was a deeper meaning behind it.
After all, he was clear that although Lu Yuan had never colluded with Shen Lige and the rest, he had long known that Shen Lige and the rest were assassins.
It was because of this that he heard Liu Yikang's words.
Lu Yuan's expression changed immediately, but he hesitated for a moment.
However, he still agreed.
"Alright, Lu Yuan is not afraid of a crooked shadow. I'm willing to listen to Your Highness 'arrangements!”
The reason why Lu Yuan agreed so readily this time was naturally because the person who swore the curse was Empress Sun.
What did Imperial Consort Sun's life and death have to do with him?
Hearing Liu Yikang's words, Imperial Consort Sun's expression changed drastically.
Lu Yuan swore. Why did it involve him?
Furthermore, he had sworn to lose his sight, to have his intestines pierced and his stomach rotted, and to die a horrible death.
Imperial Consort Sun wanted to retort, but she didn't know what to say.
After all, she was trying her best to protect Lu Yuan. If she doubted Liu Yikang, wouldn't that mean that she didn't trust Lu Yuan?
And Lu Yuan agreed so readily.
At this moment, she could only firmly believe that Lu Yuan really had nothing to do with the assassin.
