Chapter 126 Some Parents Can’t Be Wake Up
Lu Chenyang shuddered. "Prince Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Xing suddenly asked, "Do you like Zhao Xi?"
Lu Chenyang was stunned: "Huh?"
His stunned expression didn't seem fake, and Yan Xing felt that he was overthinking it.
Because Lu Chenyang had always shown love and indulgence towards Zhao Xi, a bit like a brother towards his sister, he didn't see any trace of love between men and women.
If it is a love between a man and a woman, it can be seen in the eyes and actions.
My eyes can't help but follow that person, and I can't help but want to touch him.
Neither of these two people have.
Zhao Xi obviously cared about and even valued Lu Chenyang, but something was missing.
A little less... possessiveness and affection.
Lu Chenyang felt the same way towards Zhao Xi. He only had pure concern for her, without any affection between men and women.
When Yan Xing thought of this, his expression looked a little better.
Yan Xing looked calm, "Nothing." He changed the subject, "Are you really going to use Zhang Qian?"
Lu Chenyang nodded and said as a matter of course: "Of course, you don't know how smart this girl is."
Lu Chenyang didn't help Zhang Qian just because of the method she came up with, but because he told him something else.
"Why do you think the Prince of Nanyang was so determined to save Concubine Cui?" Lu Chenyang asked. He gave him a direct answer: "Because Concubine Cui was backed by the aristocracy." After hundreds of years of dynasties, the aristocracy had experienced many ups and downs. Most of them had been exterminated and their influence was gone.
However, the reason why the nobles were nobles was because they valued inheritance. Before the catastrophe, many nobles gave away their fire just to continue their bloodline.
After being suppressed, the once powerful noble families united and developed together. Now, there are signs of a resurgence.
Concubine Cui came from a noble family. She was not from the famous Qinghe Cui family, but from the Boling Cui family.
Nowadays, the Cui family of Boling has become the leader of the aristocratic families.
The Prince of Nanyang was determined to save Concubine Cui and her two children, which was a deal he made with the nobles.
The Cui family's two children were the foundation of the aristocratic family, so the King of Nanyang had to save them no matter what.
Because of this, Prince Nanyang favored Concubine Cui. Princess Nanyang was worried that it would affect her son's status, so she did not take her with her when she fled.
I have to say, this is also a cycle of cause and effect.
Lu Chenyang said, "I was wondering, where does the King of Nanyang get the confidence to rise up? Now that Concubine Cui is in my hands, the relationship between the nobles and the King of Nanyang is no longer so close."
Yan Xing's eyes flashed: "Concubine Cui is in your hands now. If they can come to support you..."
Lu Chenyang frowned and sighed, "It's difficult. After all, the King of Nanyang gave birth to a son and a daughter for the nobles. What do I have?"
Yan Xing glanced at him and said, "Lord Lu is so handsome, why don't you follow the example of King Nanyang and marry a girl from the Cui family? It won't be difficult."
Lu Chenyang said with a righteous look on his face, "Selling my body is not acceptable! How can I, the top scholar with the highest score of the sixth place, live off a gigolo?"
Yan Xing agreed wholeheartedly: "That's right, I knew Chen Yang Ji Yue Qing Feng would not resort to such crooked methods. We can still do it without relying on marriage!"
Lu Chenyang agreed: "That's right, absolutely. Alas, they always want to send me women, as if I can't do anything without marriage."
In fact, marriage is the simplest, fastest and most convenient way to bundle interests, which can turn strangers into family members.
But Lu Chenyang felt that if the partner was reliable, they could still reach a cooperation agreement without resorting to this method. Otherwise, wouldn't someone like the King of Nanyang abandon his wife and children?
Yan Xing then asked, "What do you plan to do with Cui and the other concubines of the Prince of Nanyang?"
Lu Chenyang thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep them for now. Let them do whatever they can. There's no need to involve our family in the matter between us and the King of Nanyang."
Yan Xing couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "You are still kind."
Lu Chenyang shook his head: "It's not that I'm kind, but because there's no need. They are no longer of any value, why should I go to the trouble of targeting them? It's unnecessary."
If Lu Chenyang could use them to gain some benefit, he would do it. But they were all discarded pawns, completely useless.
Yan Xing's eyes were gentle, perhaps because he was kind. Some people killed people without caring whether they would gain any benefits or not, they just liked killing by nature.
Some parents cannot be woken up.
Yan Xing said, "I have ordered the collection of Chen Jiangnian's body. Later, you must write a memorial to the emperor and have the body sent to the capital."
Lu Chenyang nodded.
Lu Chenyang began writing a letter to the emperor, expressing his sorrow at Chen Jiangnian's death. He also said he was confident that he would recapture Quzhou to enhance the prestige of the country and bring honor to the emperor.
After writing the letter, Lu Chenyang asked someone to take Chen Jiangnian's body back to Beijing. In order to show seriousness, Lu Chenyang also bought him a fine coffin, spending a lot of money.
Lord Lu was extremely distressed.
