Chapter 756: The Truth Has Been Revealed
After a mont of silence, Ling Lihua said, “Now that Weiwei ntioned it, I rember that fourteen years ago, just a few days before I gave birth, I attended a banquet in the palace. I noticed that you seed a bit pale and showed symptoms of poisoning. I wanted to ask you about it, but the Empress Dowager stopped . Back then, I didn’t think there was anything wrong, but now that I think about it, the Empress Dowager was clearly trying to stop from saving you, Your Majesty.”
A mory suddenly flashed through Lu Liangwei’s mind, and she looked at Long Yang and said, “Your Majesty, do you rember what I told you that ti? Actually, I’ve already been suspecting that it was the Empress Dowager who had poisoned you.”
Long Yang rembered it too. Weiwei had indeed analyzed the case of Madam Ling leaving before, and at that ti, she had suspected that Madam Ling’s breakup with Lu Hetian was related to the person who poisoned him.
To stop Madam Ling from curing him of the poison, that person used Madam Zheng to drive a wedge between her and Lu Hetian so that she would leave the imperial capital out of disappointnt in her husband.
When Long Yang wanted to summon Madam Ling to the palace to cure him, he received the unexpected news of her death.
Now, it seed that Weiwei’s analysis was reasonable.
If everything coincided too perfectly, it would no longer be a coincidence but a deliberate plan.
It seed that Weiwei had really hit the nail on the head.
However—
“You an that the Empress Dowager was the one who poisoned ?” Long Yang’s eyes narrowed, a threatening hint in his voice.
Lu Liangwei nodded. “As of now, she’s the likeliest culprit.”
The Dowager Duchess was puzzled by their conversation; she was still unaware of Long Yang’s poisoning.
However, since Zeng Lunan was still there, she did not inquire further.
Long Yang got up and walked out.
Lu Liangwei could guess his intentions—he was probably going to dispose of the Empress Dowager.
After all, he had no reason to keep her around after she had used such a virulent poison on him.
As for her parents, they were forcefully separated for years because of the Empress Dowager’s wickedness. She was nothing but a despicable villain.
Zeng Lunan wiped away his cold sweat, not expecting to hear all this shocking news today. When he started to feel very uneasy, the Dowager Duchess broke the silence.
“Mr. Zeng, since you’re here to see Shuang’er, I’ll have soone invite her over now.”
Coming back to his senses, Zeng Lunan hurriedly got up and thanked her. “Thank you so much, Madam.”
The Dowager Duchess waved a hand. “It’s nothing. Shuang’er may not be the Lu Family’s flesh and blood, but we’ve raised her for more than ten years, after all. As her birth father, you’re naturally welco in our ho.”
Zeng Lunan was overco with sha, and for a mont, he was at a loss for words.
“You must be tired. Why don’t you get so rest first? When Shuang’er cos back, I’ll have soone fetch you over to et her. Is that all right?” the Dowager Duchess asked.
Zeng Lunan perford a fist and palm salute to her. “That’d be great. Thank you.”
The Dowager Duchess turned to Aunt Lan and instructed, “Get Mr. Zeng sothing to eat first, then prepare a wing room for him to stay.”
Aunt Lan nodded and led Zeng Lunan away.
After the outsider was gone, the Dowager Duchess imdiately took Ling Lihua’s hand, her voice full of guilt and distress as she spoke. “Lihua, you’ve suffered a lot all these years.”
Ling Lihua was snapped out of her daze and, looking into the old woman’s kind eyes, she sighed and said, “I only have myself to bla for being impulsive and falling into soone else’s trap. Besides, I was the one who foolishly invited Madam Zheng into our ho.”
Lu Liangwei put an arm around her shoulders reassuringly. “Don’t be so hard on yourself, Mother. How could you have known that Madam Zheng was up to no good? Thankfully, the truth has now been revealed. Lu Yunshuang’s not Dad’s daughter, and everything that had happened back then was Madam Zheng’s ploy.” After a pause, she asked softly, “Can you forgive Dad?”
The Dowager Duchess also looked at her hopefully..
