THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 54. Secrets of Bai Lu
***Li Chang Le Bedroom***
Tan Xiang stood guard outside the room door because Ying Ying reasoned to want to make some more medicinal herbs to be brought to Queen Wen's palace tomorrow.
The truth was that Ying Ying wanted to have a private talk with Li Chang Le's spirit regarding something very important, she said, while Bai Lu and Chang Ru headed to Chang Ru's room to wait for the pregnancy-preventing medicine cooked by A Ling, before they went to buy a new hanfu.
Li Chang Le's spirit realized Ying Ying's demeanor was turning more serious after getting the invitation so it thought Ying Ying was worried about meeting Queen Wen tomorrow morning.
"Ying Ying! Do you pretend to be sick tomorrow so you don't have to go to the palace?" ask Li Chang Le's spirit.
"It's okay Chang Le. I did indeed want to meet in person with Queen Wen! Now I have magic power so I can protect myself."
"Right as well, but it looks like something is troubling your mind right now."
"Does Brother Chang Le still remember the man who tried to kill me in the palace pond?"
"of course! The man dressed in black and wearing the face-covering cloth was extremely cruel. When I saw that you and Tan Xiang were about to drown, I tried to ring the bell pendulum for help. It's a good thing that the bell was heard by Prince Wei Bu Yi so you two can survive." Li Chang Le's spirit replied at length.
Li Chang Le's spirit was just an ordinary ghost that had no power so it could absolutely not save Ying Ying and Tan Xiang inside the palace pond.
"So Brother Chang Le didn't see the man's face?"
"Yes!"
"I suspect Eunuch Ma is the killer;" Ying Ying said.
"Eunuch Ma, the eunuch of Queen Wen's confidence?"
"Yes, Chang Le! Eunuch Ma's pair of eyes was exactly the same as the eyes of the assassins in the palace. Moreover, on the back of his hand were five small dots."
Ying Ying clearly remembered him stabbing the back of the killer's hand with five silver needles of gift from Wei Bu Yi. The five silver needles were of a thicker size so they definitely still left a trace.
"Maybe your guess is right, Ying Ying! Eunuch Ma's posture was also the same as that of the assassin."
"It is fitting that the head of the palace guard did not manage to find the murderer because Eunuch Ma had already returned to Queen Wen's side!" said Ying Ying.
Wei Bu Yi had told Ying Ying about A Mu and the court lady who was made a scapegoat for the assassination attempt on him so that the case was closed by the head of the palace guard on the orders of Emperor Wei.
Of course Li Chang Le's spirit also knew that as it had always been inside Ying Ying's bell pendulum during the return trip from Qing Qiu.
"Ying Ying! I'm afraid Bai Lu and Chang Ru have some more evil plans. I'll watch them now!"
"All right, Chang Le!"
***
Li Chang Le's spirit arrived in Chang Ru's room when Chang Ru was taking the pregnancy-preventing medicine delivered by A Ling, without realizing the medicine was just a normal concoction medicine.
"A Ling! Tomorrow morning you accompany Chang Ru to the palace to see Queen Wen. You must take good care of Chang Ru!" bai Lu's Order.
"Okay young lady!"
A Ling left the room while carrying the already empty medicine bowl.
"Don't worry Chang Ru! I'm sure that tomorrow morning Chang Le will not speak in front of Queen Wen!"
"What have you promised to jal*ng?"
"He asked for all his mother's wedding dowry."
"What about my wedding dowry? I don't want my wedding dowry less than Chang Le. I'm the crown princess!"
"Calm down, Chang Ru! I'll persuade your father to prepare a large wedding dowry for you!" bai Lu's Promise.
Although Bai Lu himself was not sure General Li Jin would agree to it, but Bai Lu's words could calm Chang Ru's heart at this moment.
"Chang Ru's! Tomorrow you should try to take the heart of Queen Wen and act as a good daughter-in-law. Whatever Queen Wen says, you must obey her!"
"Yes, Mommy! Chang Ru understands!"
Li Chang Le's spirit followed them from behind.
***
Li Chang Le's spirit saw Bai Lu bending over and pressing a button that fused with the bottom of the bed so that the small secret room opened.
Chang Ru was curious so she approached Bai Lu quickly. Inside that little secret room was a box. Bai Lu opened the box.
Chang Ru observed several small bottles of different colors. In addition there were some precious jewels belonging to Bai Lu.
"Mother! What's in those bottles?"
Bai Lu smiled and picked up one of the smallest sized bottles, then gave it to Chang Ru.
"A few drops of this medicine can make the crown prince crazy about you. You take it to the palace tomorrow!"
"Good mom!"
Chang Ru understood Bai Lu's intentions. If he was lucky to meet Wei Wu Xian at Queen Wen's palace, then he could use the medicine.
The sooner he came into contact with Wei Wu Xian, the position of the crown princess could not be taken from his hands anymore.
"Mother! Is there a deadly poison?" asked Chang Ru with a cynical smile.
Bai Lu knew Chang Ru wanted to use poison to kill Chang Le.
"Nothing! But these two drugs you can keep just in case!"
Bai Lu gave the blue and red medicine bottle to Chang Ru.
Bai Lu explained the usefulness of the two medicines. "The medicine in the red bottle is an anesthetic, while the medicine in the blue bottle is to make a person's body weak and not powered."
Chang Ru's pair of eyes twinkled after hearing Bai Lu's explanation.
"Chang Ru's! Mother suspected that there was a secret soldier Prince Wei Bu Yi who was protecting Chang Le secretly in this house. You should not use this medicine against Chang Le while at home. Don't get caught in your own trap again!"
"What my mother said was very true. My trap yesterday must have been thwarted by the secret soldier Prince Wei Bu Yi!" inner Chang Ru.
"Don't worry, mom! I won't act stupid anymore!"
Chang Ru believes that Prince Wei Bu Yi's secret soldiers could not possibly enter the palace.
Moreover, if he was near Wei Wu Xian, he would, prince Wei Bu Yi's secret soldiers would not dare to act because Wei Wu Xian also had some great bodyguards who followed Wei Wu Xian every day.
Therefore, Chang Ru was looking forward to tomorrow arriving quickly. Chang Ru would use the medicine at the right time.
Bai Lu took out two gold necklaces from the box before closing the secret room.
"Chang Ru's! This secret room only mom and you know it. You have to keep a secret!" bai Lu's Message.
"I'm definitely keeping this a good secret!"
"Let's go buy a new hanfu for you. You should appear more beautiful, graceful, and luxurious than Chang Le!"
"Good, mom!" chang Ru replied with a wide smile.
