An hour before that.

Zhu Xianyue has been brought into Tianling Palace.

She was wearing a thin red shirt for young men, which was very revealing.

Fortunately, there was a red cloak outside, covering up all the spring light.

But the more this happens, the more people want to explore the mystery.

The golden cage is also ready.

Zhu Xianyue was ordered to sit among them.

In the sleeping hall.

Zhu Xianyue grabbed the golden cage with her white fingers and looked out pitifully.

Then, he saw Lu Tingchen.

"duck……"

"Um?"

"Your Majesty! ...I am a hostage from Zhao State. I beg your Majesty's greetings."

Zhu Xianyue knelt down.

From Lu Tingchen's perspective, he could just see the layers of white cloth bound under her collar.

It was so big that it was really razed to the ground.

I don’t know if she is feeling depressed.

Zhu Xianyue pretended to be panicked.

She looked as if she had just realized that her duck was actually Emperor Lu Chao.

Lu Tingchen said to the palace servants, "From now on, this hostage from Zhao Kingdom will remain in Tianling Palace."

The implication is that he wants to have an affair with the hostage of Zhao State.

Or it's a man's quirk that tortures men.

The palace maid agreed.

Some people who didn't need to stay here went out with red faces.

Lu Tingchen opened the golden cage and pulled Zhu Xianyue out.

Then he picked her up and placed her on the dragon bed.

Zhu Xianyue whispered: "Your Majesty, I am a woman..."

"Shh, don't talk. If you want to live, cooperate with me."

Zhu Xianyue had no choice but to give up.

She was placed inside the dragon bed.

Lu Tingchen came up and bit her neck.

Zhu Xianyue was delicate and delicate, wanting to refuse but also to welcome.

In order to obtain evidence that Lu Tingchen was faking illness, Lu Jinrong broke into the hall despite being stopped.

"I'm worried about the dragon's health! What's wrong with coming to see my nephew?!"

But what I saw was such a "beautiful scenery".

"Uncle!"

Lu Tingchen pretended to be flustered and got off Zhu Xianyue.

Lu Jinrong: "...So you haven't been to court for so many days because you're hanging out with the Zhao Kingdom's hostage!"

"Uncle, how can this be considered fooling around? Don't you have quite a few male prostitutes in your house?"

Male homosexuality was prevalent in the Lu Dynasty, but men had no legal status.

Just treat it as a pleasing to the eye and keep it around.

Moreover, the higher the status, the more proud one is to have a male favorite, in order to show one's nobility.

Lu Jinrong is no exception.

For the first time, he was left speechless by the young emperor.

Lu Tingchen was already "doing a good job", and it would be against the rules for Lu Jinrong to go forward to check.

It will give people something to talk about.

"...Then I will not disturb the Emperor's good fortune!"

"Wait... Uncle Nine, why did you trespass into Tianling Palace? Don't you take me, the prince, seriously?"

"I dare not, I am just worried about the dragon's health!"

"Worried about my health? I should be more worried about my uncle, after all..."

Lu Tingchen's eyes became deeper and deeper.

"I heard that there are more than twenty handsome yet delicate men in the Emperor's uncle's house. I wonder if the Emperor's uncle is worthy of receiving such beauties?"

"How about this, I will go to Prince Rong's Mansion to see the beauties of my uncle."

Without waiting for Lu Jinrong to answer, Lu Tingchen had already raised his foot and left.

Zhu Xianyue was holding back her laughter behind him.

The political struggles of the Lu Dynasty were actually somewhat similar to those of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although it is messy, it is not that overbearing.

We are all reasonable people who get things done with our words.

All the fighting and killing should be done in private.

Since I can't convince you, I can only follow your ideas.

This is also closely related to the fact that the territory is shared among many heroes and everyone is evenly matched.

With this incident, Lu Tingchen entered Prince Rong's Mansion openly.
