Chapter 1870: Flat Denial
Yan Ruyu took the vase and put the new branches in it.
While arranging the flowers, he said, "Sit down."
Wei Luting bowed and said, "Meet the princess."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Do you recognize this princess?"
Wei Luting smiled lightly: "Who in Youcheng doesn't know the princess? Although I am ignorant, I have heard of the deeds of the prince and princess."
Yan Ruyu continued to arrange the flowers, and after she was done, she turned around and sat down.
"What's the matter with you coming to the palace? Just tell me directly."
"It's not to praise this princess."
Wei Luting said, "I came here to thank the princess."
"Oh? Where do you come from?" Yan Ruyu was puzzled.
"Princess, is there a person named Lou Tingyu in your mansion?" Wei Luting asked, observing Yan Ruyu's expression as he spoke.
Yan Ruyu frowned and thought for a moment: "No."
Wei Luting said again: "Perhaps, let me put it another way. Has the princess saved anyone in these days?"
Yan Ruyu nodded, and Wei Luting's face lit up with joy.
"That's a lot. Many people in West City have been saved by my princess."
"This princess has always loved doing good things, and I don't remember these things. I don't do things just to leave a name for myself."
Wei Luting was stunned. What was said... he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Before he could make up his mind, Yan Ruyu said, "Not only this princess, the prince, but also the guards, servants, and maids in the mansion, all like to do good deeds."
"We rescued a lot of people, not just humans, but cats, dogs, and ducks as well."
"I wonder who you are talking about?"
Wei Luting: “…”Who was I talking about?
Oh, Lou Tingyu.
Didn’t you say that before?
Wei Luting placed his hands on his knees and clenched them slightly: "Princess, you are kind. What I want to ask is, Lou Tingyu."
"he……"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "I haven't heard of them, but I have heard of Ergou, Sanpang, Wuhou, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu."
Wei Luting was silent for a while.
These weren't hard to understand, but he just felt a little... confused.
Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Who are you? Why are you looking for someone in the palace? How do you know that the person you are looking for is in the palace?"
Wei Luting answered subconsciously: "I am Wei Luting. I went out with a few brothers to do some work. We encountered bandits on the way and were robbed and separated. I heard that he appeared in Youcheng a few days ago."
"Youcheng respects the prince and princess, and both of you are heroes and righteous men. If my brother is rescued, he will definitely be in the palace."
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "What you said... is just rumors. It doesn't sound accurate."
"The governor of Youcheng is Governor Cao, and the commander of the city defense army is Li Chengshi. How can you respect the prince? The prince is in the court, not a commoner, so how can you say he is a hero?"
"Just now, this princess said that the people of Youcheng are all kindhearted. If they see someone in trouble, they will definitely help. If your brother is rescued, he may not be in the palace."
"How about this, you go to the governor's office and ask them to issue a missing person notice, maybe you'll get something."
Wei Luting stood up and said, "Princess, my brother should be in the palace."
Yan Ruyu raised her head slightly: "Oh? Why are you so sure?"
There was some hesitation in Wei Luting's eyes, as if there was something he was not sure how to say.
"It may sound absurd, but it is true."
"He and I are from the same mother. Although we are not twins, we can telepathically sense each other and know where he is."
Yan Ruyu thought to herself that this was nonsense.
She laughed briefly and said, "This princess has indeed heard of telepathy, but it does exist between twins, and you and him obviously don't."
"Besides, what did you say just now? His name is Lou Tingyu."
"Yes."
"Your name is Wei Luting. Are you two brothers?"
Wei Luting: "... one of us takes our mother's surname, and the other takes our father's surname."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows and laughed.
Then his smile disappeared and his eyes became cold.
"You crazy bastard, how dare you talk nonsense in front of this princess? Come, drag him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane."
Song Ping stepped forward immediately. Wei Luting saw this and said quickly, "Princess, Princess, please allow me to report."
"Lou Tingyu and I are indeed not brothers. He is a traitor to our family. He fled the clan because of a serious mistake. The clan leader ordered me to find him."
"I heard that someone had seen him, and I also heard that he was lucky enough to be saved by the prince and princess, so I came to visit him rashly."
"Because I'm afraid the princess might misunderstand me, I'm...please forgive me."
"This princess will not forgive me," Yan Ruyu said coldly, "You lied just now, who knows if you are lying again now?"
"Come here, take him away and keep him in the courtyard for now."
"Yes."
Song Ping led him away, and Yan Ruyu added, "Begin by beating him with thirty boards."
"Yes!"
Wei Luting: “…”
The man was taken away, and Yan Ruyu looked at the small door next to him and said, "Come out."
Yinding brought Lou Tingyu out.
Yan Ruyu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Did you hear that? Do you know him?"
Lou Tingyu's face looked pale and he said, "I know him. His name is Wei Luting."
"The person is real, the name is real, what do the words say?"
Lou Tingyu paused: "Of course it's fake."
He laughed at himself: "He and I are not brothers, and I have never betrayed my family."
"He didn't mention the trace silk," Lou Tingyu said, "which is understandable. He was probably afraid of leaking the news. This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can have."
There are many other explanations for leaving traces without mentioning the silk, but Wei Luting mentioned the two most unfriendly ones.
Some say they are brothers, but they don't look alike and even have different surnames. Who would believe it?
Second, he is a traitor, and the disadvantages of this are needless to say.
Lou Tingyu had already realized that Wei Luting's trip was not to find him or save him, but to harm him.
Yan Ruyu asked, "Then what do you want?"
Lou Tingyu laughed to himself: "Of course I won't go with him."
"Since he is ruthless, then I don't have to worry about anything. I am willing to help the princess find out who is behind him."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "He has injuries on his body, probably because he was caught and tortured."
Lou Tingyu understood: "So, I was injured a few days ago because of the trace thread. Then three days passed and there was no response. After such a long time, it should have started again and found me."
"Princess, I am willing to try my best."
"it is good."
……
Today, a landmark building in Xicheng District added a roof to its roof. Everyone heard from the abbot that this is called "towering" and is a very important matter.
Therefore, make something delicious and add more dishes to celebrate.
There will be a snack in the palace tonight, and the kitchen has prepared seafood.
It's going to be lively.
The palace was bustling with activity, but a few small courtyards were away from the hustle and bustle.
Wei Luting endured the pain and looked at the bowl of cold porridge in front of him. He had no desire to eat.
This result is really unexpected.
He had known for a long time that Lou Tingyu was in the palace, but he had been observing her for the past few days and had not rashly come in.
Who would have thought that after careful consideration, I arrived at the palace and before I could say a few words, this would be the outcome.
