Chapter 120 How cruel I was back then, how much I regret now



Seeing Song Yushu's attitude, Lu Zhixing knew that what happened in the morning was not a dream, but he couldn't understand why Song Yushu's attitude changed so quickly.

"You, why are you suddenly..." She was so enthusiastic that she was unlike the Song Yushu before. Lu Zhixing stared at Song Yushu closely, not missing a single expression on her face.

"It was an impulse. If Your Highness feels troubled, I apologize." Song Yushu pretended to stand up.

Lu Zhixing quickly held her down and said, "It's my fault, don't be angry."

He knew that Song Yushu was angry because he had fled in the morning, but the incident happened suddenly and he really couldn't react for a while.

"You said you liked me, and I wanted to get close to you when I figured it out, but you ran away, ran away?" Where would my face be then? Song Yushu snorted and put down the dishes in his hands.

Lu Zhixing knew he had no way to refute it, so he could only force a silly smile.

A man in a high position and with great power, a proud man, could actually coax a girl in this way. Song Yushu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It's just that he laughed so loudly that he accidentally showed his teeth.

"Be careful." Lu Zhixing nervously placed his hand gently on Song Yushu's chin to stabilize her head. "Don't tear your wound again."

The large palm held most of Song Yushu's face.

The warm touch on the delicate skin made both of their ears turn red at the same time.

"You didn't go on duty this morning, so you must go in the afternoon." Song Yushu coughed lightly and changed the subject.

Lu Zhixing reluctantly put down his hand and said, "Okay."

"Your Highness, do you think the Crown Prince should be punished for this matter?" Song Yushu seriously discussed the business with Lu Zhixing.

Lu Zhixing shook his head. "Given Father's favoritism, the worst that can happen to Fourth Brother is just a few days of house arrest."

I didn't expect that the emperor would favor the prince so much. My godfather had said before that the emperor was particularly caring for the prince because he did not have the blood of the Lin family.

"As long as the Lin family doesn't fall, the prince won't fall either." Song Yushu sighed. If the emperor wanted to balance the situation, he would never abandon the prince.

"Then bring down the Lin family. They have enjoyed too much and really think they can control the government for thousands of years." Lu Zhixing's eyes turned cold. He no longer had any feelings for the Lin family.

Song Yushu asked Lu Zhixing tentatively, "But they are your relatives after all..."

"Being powerless is the greatest punishment for them. Death is the most comfortable thing." Lu Zhixing snorted coldly.

Lu Zhixing's counterattack is the biggest threat to the Lin family. Once they know that Lu Zhixing has been fighting back secretly, they will definitely not show mercy. Song Yushu sighed lightly. Power is really dazzling.

"If the Crown Prince shows weakness, His Majesty will surely strike back. We can use this opportunity to weaken the power of the Lin Mansion." Song Yushu nodded slightly. "I received a letter a while ago saying that there is an incident related to the Minister of Works."

Shi Xiuyuan, the Minister of Works, is a disciple of the old man of the Lin family. He has always followed the lead of the Lin family and is another money bag of the Lin family.

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhixing looked at Song Yushu's hand on the table, feeling itchy and eager to take action.

"When the palace on Linzhou Mountain was being built, a lot of inferior materials were used. It even collapsed once during the construction process, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many craftsmen. Later, they wanted to cover up the incident and silence most of the craftsmen." Song Yushu became more and more angry as he spoke, and suddenly he disliked Lu Zhixing.

This matter was known thanks to Hu Luyi. Wenchang Tower took in a down-and-out scholar, who mentioned this matter vaguely when chatting with others, and Hu Luyi took it to heart.

He immediately asked Song Yushu for instructions and asked him to send someone to investigate. The investigation uncovered a shocking murder case.

Lu Zhixing was also furious. He had not expected that after Lin Zong took over the family, he would become more arrogant, lawless, and indifferent to human life.

He keenly noticed the change in Song Yushu and said quickly, "This matter will never be easily overturned. Fifth Brother and Uncle will definitely learn a lesson."

But this matter needs to be planned carefully and we can't act carelessly.

Song Yushu glanced at Lu Zhixing's hand holding hers, "Prince, your hand..."

Lu Zhixing played dumb, he would never let go of the hand he had finally grasped. "What?"

Song Yushu stared at him straight, but finally gave in and couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, you didn't treat me like this before."

When talking about this, Lu Zhixing felt guilty. He regretted it now as much as he had been cruel to Song Yushu before.

But if it happened again, he would definitely act the same way. After all, at that time, he was not only affected by drugs, but also suffering from blindness. The people around him were not trustworthy, and his relatives wanted to kill him. If he had not acted carefully, he would not be alive today.

Song Yushu understood all this, but she still couldn't help but complain.

"I was blind at that time and couldn't recognize your kindness." Lu Zhixing didn't even blink and began to belittle himself.

Song Yushu, who had been indoctrinated by her godfather to be loyal to Lu Zhixing for more than ten years, actually couldn't stand to hear this. She glanced at Lu Zhixing and changed the subject.

In the next few days, Song Yushu stayed in the mansion to recuperate from his injuries. Apart from being on duty, Lu Zhixing stayed in Song Yushu's yard, never leaving him for a moment.

When the people in the mansion saw this situation, they immediately changed their minds. It seemed that the prince's beloved had been replaced by Miss Nie, but now looking at the situation, Eunuch Song still had the upper hand!

Soon this news reached Lin Zhiyao's ears. She had always been paying attention to the developments in Prince Jing's Mansion. Lu Zhixing had caused a lot of trouble in the city before, and everyone knew that he could even contradict the emperor for a girl from the northern border.

Lin Zhiyao was already so angry that she smashed everything in the room. Now when she heard that Lu Zhixing favored Song Yushu again, she became even angrier.

She didn't understand. Lu Zhixing could even favor a eunuch, so why didn't he even give her a good look?

The maid kneeling beside her tremblingly gave Lin Zhiyao advice, "Miss, it's a good thing that the eunuch is favored again. Nie Yiyue will definitely be jealous and will definitely retaliate."

"If we give her help, we will definitely be able to turn Prince Jing's Mansion upside down."

After hearing what the maid said, Lin Zhiyao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and felt that this was a good idea. She couldn't stand seeing anyone around Lu Zhixing, and when she thought of Lu Zhixing smiling at others, she became jealous and crazy.

"Very good, then go and get ready."

The maidservant immediately started to act, but perhaps because Prince Jing protected Nie Yiyue too well, she was unable to contact Nie Yiyue. In a moment of carelessness, she alarmed the people in Prince Jing's mansion.

Song Yushu immediately received the news that Lin Zhiyao's informant was active and always wanted to contact Nie Yiyue.

Upon hearing the name, Song Yushu and Song Chun looked at each other and realized that they seemed to have forgotten something.
