Qi Yuning asked: "Is it really that serious?"
Lu Ze said, "When I went there this time, I saw many graves that were built three years ago. At that time, many people sold their children."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "If this world is not peaceful, this tragedy will not only happen in Shanzhou, but will be seen all over Dasheng."
Lu Ze paused, "I just hope we can find out soon why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot ascend the throne."
Qi Yuning nodded. "I actually think the King of Shu must be guilty. Although I was young at the time, I knew that Uncle Huo An was my grandfather's most proud disciple. He had been lurking in the Shu Palace for over ten years. There must be something fishy going on in the Shu Palace."
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Yeah."
As they walked, they came to a mountain stream. The stream was so clear that you could see the bottom. Next to it was a persimmon tree full of orange-red fruits.
The red persimmons hanging on the tree trunks are extremely tempting.
Qi Yuning walked to the persimmon tree and stood on tiptoe to pick the fruits. She was considered tall among her daughters, but even so, she still lacked the ability to reach the persimmons.
"Prince Lu, please help me pick some persimmons."
Lu Ze walked to the side of Qi Yuning. He was taller than Qi Yuning, so he raised his hand, picked up a persimmon and handed it to Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning peeled the persimmon, smelled the fragrance of the persimmon, took a bite, and chuckled, "Prince, pick one and try it too. These persimmons are quite delicious. I'll pick a few more for Lingling later."
Lu Ze reached out and picked two more. He took a bite and they were indeed sweet.
Qi Yuning was greedy, so she asked Lu Ze to pick several fruits for her and ate them all while standing under the tree.
Seeing Qi Yuning's gaze still wanting to eat, Lu Ze looked at the persimmon in front of him and said, "I can't reach it. It's too high."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze with her phoenix eyes and smiled faintly, "Climbing this tree shouldn't be difficult for Master Lu, right?"
