Chapter 406 Brothers Recognize Each Other
Mu Qing's eyes met with the masked man's and his whole body trembled slightly. Without any words, the twins' telepathy made him immediately understand that this was his biological brother - Lu Yunjue!
Looking back to the past, when he came to the Lu Mansion, Lu Yunjue was extremely handsome and was a noble young man who knew how to advance and retreat.
But he died for his biological brother Mu Qing. After his death, Mu Qing swapped faces with his and lived on in this world with his face!
Lu Yunjue also had a complicated look in his eyes and said softly, "Brother."
He smiled at Mu Qing, as if wanting to prove that he was living a good life, but how could that hoarse voice be hidden from everyone's ears?
Mu Qing took a step forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Yun Jue, are you really Yun Jue?"
Mother Lu's eyes were filled with tears: "It can't be wrong!"
She hugged Lu Yunjue, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "Son!"
Lu Yunjue gently patted his mother's back. He stared at the wrinkles around her eyes, his eyes filled with heartache. "Mom, didn't you agree not to cry? Now my brother and I are both alive and well. Our family is finally reunited. This is a great joyous occasion. You should be happy!"
"Is this the Cloud Technique?" The Emperor also looked concerned. "Why are you wearing a mask?"
Lu Yunjue said calmly, "I am now ugly and have no face to see anyone."
"Silly child," Mother Lu said tearfully, "How could I dislike your ugliness? You are the best child in the world..."
She reached out to remove Lu Yunjue's mask, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Over the years, there has not been a single day that she has not missed her son. She wanted to see what Lu Yunjue looked like now and wanted to know if he had suffered any hardship over the years.
Lu Yunjue sensitively avoided it. He grabbed Mother Lu's hand and said, "Don't look!"
He always spoke in a gentle tone when facing his relatives, and rarely spoke in such a harsh tone as he did now.
Mother Lu was stunned for a moment: "Yun Jue, don't worry, mother won't dislike you."
Lu Yunjue still refused to take off the mask.
Although no one had seen his face under the mask, they could guess roughly what he looked like and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Only the prince's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction. Although Lu Yunjue was still alive, so what? Wasn't this face still shameful?
Mu Qing took a step forward and guiltily held his brother's hand: "Yun Jue, I..."
"Brother, there's no need to say more." Lu Yunjue said gently, "In Yunjue's heart, I am only grateful for being able to reunite with brother, without any blame."
Of course he understood what Mu Qing was thinking, because although they had different personalities, they were spiritually connected.
Just by looking at his brother from afar, he could understand what Mu Qing was thinking.
Jiang Yao stood nearby, wanting to reach out her hand but slowly retracting it. She said angrily, "Yun Jue, your aunt will definitely avenge you!"
She looked at the emperor and the prince, her eyes burning with cold anger.
The prince smiled provocatively at her from where the emperor couldn't see, then said in feigned anger, "What do you want to do? Why are you looking at my father like that?"
But the emperor interrupted him directly.
He looked at Lu Yunjue who refused to take off his mask, then looked at the prince who was still scheming, and his expression was dazed for a moment.
In fact, as an emperor, how could he not see through the prince's scheming? He was just confused by the prince's filial piety in the past.
Now that his unconditional trust in the prince has been broken, he has completely seen how despicable his son is.
As the crown prince, he must be scheming, but that scheming should not be used for conspiracies and tricks, but for open schemes.
Otherwise, you will go astray.
Perhaps he was an incompetent father, which is why he didn't react until his son committed such a sin.
Thinking of this, the emperor even seemed to hunch over, and he looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
He smiled bitterly and said, "The Lu family's affairs were all caused by me. Not only will I not punish the Lu family, I am also willing to allow both of their sons to serve as officials in the court, promising the Lu family endless glory and wealth. I only hope that this can make up for the mistakes we made back then and also accumulate merit for the Crown Prince."
Jiang Yao sneered upon hearing this: "Can endless glory be worth the suffering my Lu family has endured over the years?!"
The emperor sighed, "You can't kill me. I don't want to punish the Lu family, but I won't surrender."
"We'll know whether we can kill him or not after trying!" Jiang Yao's eyes sharpened, but she heard Lu Yunjue's voice behind her.
Lu Yunjue advised: "Aunt, no!"
The emperor does not need to bear the primary responsibility for what happened back then.
Putting Lu's mother under house arrest, hunting down Jiang Yao, eradicating the Lu family...all these things were caused by Prime Minister Lu!
In a sense, the emperor did not intend to kill Prime Minister Lu, but was instead avenging Lu's mother and others.
It was the Crown Prince who caused the Lu family tragedy! If it weren't for the Crown Prince's ruthless actions, after Prime Minister Lu's death, Mother Lu would have regained her freedom and been able to reunite with her family.
Lu Yunjue was not blinded by hatred. Although he had suffered years of torture and was now stuck in the mud with an ugly face, he was still the upright nobleman in his heart!
It is because of this kind of person that he can earn the infinite admiration of the women in the capital.
He met the emperor's gaze. The emperor was a little surprised, but then he smiled with nostalgia and relief: "You really are Yun Jue."
The prince was completely defeated by the harmony between the emperor and his subjects.
He stopped pretending and asked the emperor grimly, "Father, have you had enough?!"
The emperor was startled by his son's sudden change of expression.
The Crown Prince's eyes were cold as he asked, "Why have I always been outshined by Lu Yunjue since I was little, yet you never praise me? I'm obviously your biological son, your heir! You're so protective of him, is he your illegitimate child?"
The emperor opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "What did you say?"
The prince seemed to be caught up in some inexplicable emotion and could not hear what others said at all.
He pointed a finger at the emperor's nose and complained, "After my mother passed away, I was officially appointed Crown Prince, but the comparisons between me and Lu Yunjue never cease. I've said countless times that I don't like him, yet you keep telling me I should be more tolerant!"
The emperor was stunned. He had never thought that his son would have such thoughts.
The prince's speech became increasingly rapid: "Okay, I'll endure it! But even the ministers in the court are gradually agreeing with you and praising Lu Yunjue. What about me? Where do you put me?!"
He still remembered how excited he was when he first attended the court meeting, but he could only watch Lu Yunjue shine...
He shouted angrily: "I've had enough of this life!"
Mu Qing growled and questioned, "Just because you're jealous of Yun Jue, are you going to send people to wipe out the entire Lu family?"
