Chapter 854: The Engagement Is Wrong
According to Jiang Ren, Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue did gain something.
It was already midnight when we came out.
After returning to the commander's camp, Lu Zhaoling thought about it and said to Zhou Shiyue, "Many of Jiang Ren's decisions were controlled by Fu. It can be said that since Jiang Yongyi came to his side, his mind has not been clear."
But at that time Jiang Ren himself didn’t understand.
"Including being tempted by the art of immortality, it was actually because his mind was not clear. Did you hear it just now? Now that his mind is clear, Jiang Ren himself actually doesn't believe in this art of immortality."
"Besides, he doesn't have much hope of living forever."
Zhou Shiyue nodded, "I see."
"I heard that Jiang Ren was a good commander of the army in the past, and he also saved the emperor once when he entered the palace. Do you think it is possible that the emperor will pardon his death sentence?"
She looked at Zhou Shiyue.
This depends on Zhou Shiyue. Whether he wants to tell the truth to the emperor or not, and say that many of Jiang Ren's mistakes were made when his mind was not clear.
If we really want to exonerate him, he can be said to have no choice.
In a sense, he is also a victim.
Jiang Ren’s initial mistake was that he listened to the barbarians and agreed to bring people to help.
Moreover, after finding Jiang Yongyi, he completely trusted her and lost his vigilance.
If he had been alert enough, he would have had a chance to escape at the beginning.
For example, he would not drink the medicine nine times in a row.
For example, if it concerns your own biological son, you should go and check on him in person.
Also, he had a chance to save those soldiers who died in the barracks if he had a stronger sense of responsibility towards the barracks.
Although the Sixteen Yu Ci Guards were concealed the truth by Ying Tong and others after they were recalled, and there was also the evil cultivator named Gong who interfered, Jiang Ren was the highest commander in the army and gave Ying Tong and others too much power at that time.
He himself is missing.
Although these are debatable, it still depends on what the emperor thinks.
"I will tell the emperor the truth." Zhou Shiyue said, "There are too many spies in the army. It's useless to hide it. If one wrong word reaches the emperor's ears, the emperor will be too suspicious of me in the future."
Therefore, Zhou Shiyue had already decided that he would basically report everything that happened here truthfully.
"How the emperor decides to deal with it is his business. What worries me is your ability. How can you hide it when you are so capable?"
Zhou Shiyue walked up to Lu Zhaoling, reached out and pinched the soft flesh on her cheeks, pulling them to the left and right.
"Tell me how you are so capable. When I asked the emperor to grant me a marriage, I said you were useless. Your family background was also poor at that time, so the emperor granted me a marriage so straightforwardly."
"Now that you are becoming more and more powerful, I'm afraid the emperor will start to have some tricks up his sleeve. That marriage certificate..."
He had a headache. "You and Zhou Ling were originally engaged. If your ability gets to his ears, who knows if he will go back on his word and have evil thoughts again?"
He knows his royal brother very well.
It is not impossible to find some other opportunity in the future and let Lu Xiaoer marry Zhou Ling again, saying that the marriage promise must be kept.
"For example, he is likely to send someone to find the master who said that your fate is very compatible with Zhou Ling's, and invite him to the capital to talk nonsense again, trying to pair you with Zhou Ling..."
The more Zhou Shiyue spoke, the heavier his expression became.
It is possible that his royal brother could really be so shameless.
At that time, let the master talk about the serious consequences, saying that if the couples are matched up randomly, it will be bad for the royal family, bad for him, bad for the emperor, bad for Zhou Ling, and bad for everyone, and the marriage contract must be returned to its original state.
I guess there are actually ministers who would agree with this.
Although he could make a fuss, he couldn't stand the thought of that possibility.
He was afraid that he would lose control and twist Zhou Ling's head off.
Oh no, this might really piss my father off.
The more Zhou Shiyue thought about it, the more headache he got.
He really didn't expect that while others were worried that their princess was useless and incompetent, he would one day worry that his princess was too capable.
"I definitely don't have an engagement with the Second Prince. There is no connection at all."
Lu Zhaoling slapped his hand away and said this at this time.
There really isn't.
Her body hadn't recovered at first, so nothing could be seen.
But after her body fully recovered, although it was still difficult to calculate her own affairs, she could still see whether there was any karmic connection or connection between her and others.
Zhou Shiyue was stunned for a moment.
"No? You mean, it's impossible that the original marriage certificate states that you and Zhou Ling are engaged?"
"Yes, impossible."
After Lu Zhaoling said this, he was also stunned.
That is indeed a valid marriage certificate.
She is also the eldest daughter of the Lu family and the prince.
She is the eldest daughter of the Lu family. If the man is not the second prince, who could it be?
A light suddenly lit up in Zhou Shiyue’s mind.
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"Lu Er!" he suddenly called out.
Lu Zhaoling glared at him, "What are you doing?"
She was just about to think of something, but his sudden shout interrupted her inspiration.
At this moment, Zhou Shiyue was unwilling to think about that possibility at all.
He endures.
"When we get back to Beijing," he took a deep breath, "I'll take you to have a good look at Zhou Ling after we get back to Beijing."
Maybe she saw it wrong?
Yes, that's right. After all, Lu Er hadn't seen Zhou Ling many times, and Zhou Ling's stupid look might have been offensive to Lu Er when he saw him, so he immediately looked away.
It's possible. Very likely.
"Starting today, keep a low profile." He patted Lu Zhaoling's head. "If you need anything, you can always ask Junior Brother Yin to help you."
Zhou Shiyue thought of another thing.
"By the way, didn't you say that Lu Lao Er has great talent? We are going to the north, let's take him with us."
In this way, when necessary, Lu Laoer can be used.
"Qingmu also has talent. You can teach him next. I think that boy also wants to learn the mysterious art."
Zhou Shiyue thought hard to see if there was anyone else who was suitable.
Take whatever you can.
"There is also Lu Yuan, who is under Su Qianhu. You are okay with him. Is it because he also has talent? I asked Su Qianhu for this person. Let him follow us to the north."
Who else can use it?
Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue who was racking his brains and laughed out loud.
"How come you forgot about yourself? Why don't you learn it too?"
Zhou Shiyue's eyes lit up first, "Can the king learn it too? That's ok... No."
He changed the subject.
"This prince is already very powerful. The emperor will not tolerate me learning the mystical arts. This prince is the same as you. I am a person who needs to keep a low profile."
