After Lu Che left, Lu Zheng said to Rong Zhen: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, I have something to discuss with you." Logically, Rong Zhen had something to do with his current embarrassing situation, but Lu Zheng did not blame Rong Zhen. He felt wronged by Lu Che and their attitude, but he was very calm towards Rong Zhen.

Lu Zheng carefully considered his future. He definitely could not stay in the Ministry of Justice. In this case, it was not appropriate for him to stay in Yanjing. But now that he needed Rong Zhen's protection, he had to have the awareness of a subordinate, so Lu Zheng said everything he thought without reservation.

Rong Zhen just felt like something stuck in his throat.

Lu Zheng was analyzing without noticing anything: "If there were detailed information, maybe we could just..."

"Lu Zheng!" Rong Zhen suddenly interrupted Lu Zheng.

"Hmm?" Lu Zheng looked at him in confusion.

"I said I would protect you, not because of your ability."

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his expression slowly changed.

Seeing that he was about to turn around and run away, Rong Zhen grabbed his wrist and said, "Don't you dare to listen?"

Lu Zheng didn't dare to turn around, and only felt that the place where his wrist was held was hot. He almost gave up and said, "Your Highness, King Chu, this joke is not funny!"

Then he felt a huge force on his wrist, and his body fell back involuntarily, and then was held by an arm. He opened his eyes wide, and something soft pressed on his lips, and his nose was full of the fragrance of pine wood. Because he was too shocked, Lu Zheng didn't react for a while, and didn't reject Rong Zhen at the first time.

Rong Zhen didn't push it any further, but just kissed his lips gently again.

Lu Zheng stood there blankly, feeling his lips tingling. What was even more frightening was that he didn't feel any hatred.

Rong Zhen looked at him and said, "Think about it carefully. No matter how you answer, I will always protect you."

Lu Zheng returned to the guest house in a daze. He didn't expect Rong Zhen to have such thoughts about him. In his opinion, Rong Zhen was a man with a deep mind and was difficult to understand. Lu Zheng was indeed in awe of him, so when Rong Zhen teased him occasionally, he just thought it was the feelings of an elder towards a younger person, but he didn't expect...

Lu Zheng remembered what happened at the Peach Blossom Banquet before. He always thought that he was just a tool used by Rong Zhen to deal with Princess Dai'er, but now that he thought about it carefully, did he really not know that he was hiding behind the rockery? He had plenty of ways to dispel Su Yidai's thoughts, but why did he use such an excuse that could easily give people a handle?

The more he thought about it, the more headache Lu Zheng felt. He thought he would live a more peaceful life after leaving the Duke of England's Mansion, but now he realized that he had thought too much.

Although Lu Zheng claimed to be a straight man, he was not averse to homosexuality. It's just that this kind of thing suddenly happened to him, and he always had a subtle discomfort.

Just like Jian Yu's feelings for him, Lu Zheng first sensed it through the emotions left in the original owner's body. Later, when he really realized this feeling, he realized how deep the original owner's feelings for Jian Yu were. The original owner died with all the memories between him and Jian Yu. Therefore, Lu Zheng could not accept Jian Yu's feelings for him. No matter whether Jian Yu likes the original owner or him, this will be a huge thorn between the two.

Speaking of the devil, Lu Zheng just thought of Jian Yu, and he saw Jian Yu jumping down from the wall.

Lu Zheng was stunned: "Why are you here?" Jian Yu

said: "I was worried about you, so I came to see you."

Lu Zheng was about to speak when he heard a voice on the wall shouting: "Boy, you have to hurry, otherwise I can't save you if you are discovered!"

Lu Zheng and Jian Yu turned their heads at the same time, only to find that it was Song Zhiyi who was waving a folding fan. He actually greeted Lu Zheng: "Long time no see, if you have something to say, please say it quickly. I'll keep watch for you." Lu Zheng

looked at Jian Yu in confusion. Jian Yu lowered his head. He did not tell Lu Zheng that the King of Chu had rejected his request to see him, so he had to come to see him in this way.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Jian Yu hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm leaving Yanjing for a while."

Lu Zheng replied very calmly, "Have a safe trip."

Jian Yu took out the token again and handed it to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng didn't take it, but asked, "Why?"

"I know you are not him, from the day I realized my feelings." Jian Yu confessed, "But I always deceived myself, thinking that he was just grown up, but now I can't deceive myself anymore."

"I'm always a step slow. I didn't realize my feelings until he left, but I couldn't make a choice between you and him, which led to the current situation." Jian Yu's face showed a trace of frustration. "You seem innocent and ignorant, but you see so clearly. So I know there is no possibility for me and you, but I just can't resign myself to it."

Lu Zheng didn't say anything. He could understand Jian Yu's feelings. As a life that was not expected by anyone, the feelings that the original owner had invested in him were like a glass of water in the desert. Even though it was so insignificant compared to the desolation in his heart, it was so precious that he couldn't give it up. Lu Zheng didn't know what happened between the two of them, but he could feel the strong emotions for Jian Yu in this body. Even though he could rationally abandon this feeling, he inevitably felt a little depressed.

Lu Zheng saw Jian Yu's hardships. When his identity was revealed, he suddenly became sensitive to emotions. He could feel the original owner's strong love for Jian Yu, and he did not ignore his own affection for Jian Yu. He seemed to become an outsider, calmly examining his feelings for everyone he met. But even so, his weak affection for Jian Yu could not override his reason.

Jian Yu looked at him: "It would have been great if I had met you earlier."

"If I had met you before, maybe we would have only passed by each other." Lu Zheng told the truth bluntly and cruelly.

Jian Yu smiled bitterly: "I know what you mean." After saying this, he suddenly asked, "If it was the King of Chu, how would you answer him?"

Lu Zheng was stunned.

"If it was him, how would you answer him?" Jian Yu asked again.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but think of the kiss, and suddenly felt his ears a little hot. He looked away unnaturally: "What are you talking about?"

Jian Yu saw his red ears, as if he understood something. He didn't ask any more questions, but said: "The King of Chu is too thoughtful. If you really... be more careful about everything, you can come to me if you have something. Even if there is nothing else, we can still be good brothers, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded solemnly: "If we meet again, I will buy you a drink!"

Jian Yu suddenly smiled, he stretched out his hand: "A gentleman's word."

"A whip for a fast horse!"

Lu Zheng tapped his palm with his, and the two smiled at each other.

Jian Yu left the Prince of Chu's Mansion and looked at Song Zhiyi who was following him. He frowned and said, "Lord Song, do you have anything else to say?"

Song Zhiyi chuckled and said, "You are very brave to dig into my cousin's corner!"

Jian Yu's face turned cold and said, "Lord Song, just say it if you have something to say."

"Commander Jian has been in the Red Armor Guard for some time. Have you ever heard of Han Zhu?"

Jian Yu's mind moved, but his face remained expressionless: "No, why?"

"Some old things, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it." Song Zhiyi laughed and tried to get away with it.

Jian Yu asked, "I wonder what the connection is between this man and our Red Armor Guard?"

Song Zhiyi looked at his expression and weighed whether he should tell it. When he was investigating the King of Wei, he found out about this Han Zhu. This man was the commander of the Red Armor Guard twenty years ago. Later, the King of Wei committed treason, and he was responsible for hunting down the King of Wei. However, he disappeared in Baiquan Mountain with the King of Wei. Song Zhiyi didn't know why Rong Zhen asked him to investigate the King of Wei, but he still did as he was ordered. When he found out about Han Zhu, he felt a little strange, so he wanted to ask Jian Yu. Coincidentally, Jian Yu had something to ask him, so he went along with it.

Song Zhiyi finally said: "This man was the leader of the Red Armor Guard 20 years ago. Later, when he was chasing the King of Wei, he disappeared with the King of Wei in Baiquan Mountain."

"King of Wei?" Jian Yu's expression was a little strange. Since he found out that he might be the son of the King of Wei, his feelings towards this man have become a little complicated.

Song Zhiyi did not notice this, but continued: "I want to check some old things related to Han Zhu. I think it's a bit strange that he disappeared 20 years ago, so I want to ask Commander Jian if he knows any inside story?"

Jian Yu said: "Among the leaders of the Red Armor Guard, there was indeed a person named Han Zhu, but unfortunately he died 20 years ago."

"Dead?" Song Zhiyi frowned, "But we clearly haven't seen his body, how can we be sure?"

Jian Yu suddenly asked, "What exactly does Lord Song want to say?"

Song Zhiyi hesitated for a while before lowering his voice and saying, "Commander Jian, do you know that the Red Armor Guard was also the most prominent among the three guards, and it only gradually declined twenty years ago. But Han Zhu is a very scheming person. As the commander of the Red Armor Guard, he would never let the Red Armor Guard fall into such a situation. In addition, his disappearance that year was very strange. I guess he might have done it on purpose."

"Then why did he do this?"

"Why don't you guess, Commander Jian?"

"I can't guess." Jian Yu said directly, "Since Lord Song wants to ask, you'd better make it clear."

Song Zhiyi did not hide it: "I suspect Han Zhu is the King of Wei's man."

"Why do you think so?"

"It's hard to say." Song Zhiyi was reluctant to tell him that this was just his speculation, and said, "I suspect that the King of Wei is not dead at all, and Han Zhu is the one who helped the King of Wei escape death!"
