Lu Yun froze for a moment.

He didn't say anything. Luo Lingyu looked at him and burst into tears. The young man sitting with her in the bed tent had long hair on his shoulders, his jade crown tilted slightly, and his robes were torn in a mess. However, he had a handsome face and beautiful features. No matter how messy his clothes were, they still showed a kind of chaotic beauty on him. He was so handsome... Luo Lingyu thought more and more, lying on the bed and shivering: "Tell me, did you have something with another girl, and the truth was exposed, and you are afraid that I will be angry? Did you touch her hand, or, did you sleep with her..."

Lu Yun: "What do you mean by sleep? How can you say such vulgar things..."

He was angry and amused, and pulled her into his arms: "No, I didn't do that... I only like you."

Luo Lingyu cried in his arms: "Oh, you admitted it!"

Lu Yun said: "What did I admit?!"

Luo Lingyu raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "You only denied what happened between you and the other girl, but not the others. Admit that you did something to let me down, Lu Yun, you bastard..."

Lu Yun was upset and had a headache because of her crying. But he was really guilty and didn't want to promise that he hadn't let her down. Zhou Yangling made Lu Yun anxious. Luo Lingyu was suspicious and wondered if he had changed his mind. Unaware of how scared she was, Luo Lingyu was about to be sad, but she saw Lu Yun rubbing his forehead and looking down.

Lu Yun: "Whether I have changed my mind or not, my sister will know once she does it."

Luo Lingyu choked up: "What...what did you say...ah!"

She was immediately pushed down on the bed by him. Without saying anything else to her, he pushed in directly. Luo Lingyu screamed, but her lips were blocked by him.

…

The situation was very intense that night, and the Third Young Master's wife begged for mercy several times. At first she cried, then she whined and called "good brother" sweetly, and in the end she was dying and said "spare me, brother".

I had a good night's sleep and was sweating profusely.

Luo Lingyu confirmed that Lu Yun still loved her very much even though he was like this in bed. The little cherry on her nipple was extremely red and swollen the next day... He was so emotional at night, it was definitely not because he felt guilty after having an affair with someone else.

So, what had he done to offend her?

Luo Lingyu was puzzled and asked Lu Yun, but he refused to say anything, leaving Luo Lingyu full of doubts.

At this time, the affair between King Zhao and the enemy finally came to an end.

Yue Zihan confessed everything. Even though Prince Zhao Liu Huai hid in his father's bedroom, he was still convicted. Prince Chen was merciful and did not kill Prince Zhao. He only demoted his brother to a commoner and never allowed him to enter Jianye. Prince Zhao finally cried in his father's bedroom, but the old emperor was now lying in bed all day long. Even though he was extremely anxious, he could not plead for Prince Zhao.

King Zhao and the other princes cried one by one, feeling discouraged and scolding King Chen together: "My fate today is your fate tomorrow! He didn't kill me just for the sake of reputation. He will use the same method to deal with you."

The princes were alert. The incident with Prince Zhao made them think that Prince Chen was not a simple person. Unknowingly, Prince Chen controlled the military of Jianye. Several princes felt a sense of crisis and wanted Prince Chen to return power to the old emperor, but the old emperor's body did not allow it. A single prince could not fight against Prince Chen, so the princes joined forces and gathered their own forces to deal with Prince Chen first.

The great families of Jianye were torn by the fierce and intense struggle among the princes, and they were wavering and closed their doors one after another.

The Lu family, which only had a superficial relationship with King Chen, now fully supported King Chen and became the backbone behind him. However, the Lu family alone could not be the enemy of all the noble families in Jianye. King Chen's situation became not so smooth for a while.

King Chen remained calm and slowly engaged in a tug-of-war with them.

In early July, several large temples, including Kaishan Temple in Zhongshan and Jianchu Temple in Jianye, jointly invited King Chen to preside over this year's Yulan Festival ceremony, subtly expressing Buddhism's support for the next generation of emperors. This made the princes even angrier. Jianye ushered in the most prosperous Yulan Festival in more than a decade, but the princes and the forces behind them refused to participate, unwilling to give King Chen face. There was no big fight, but the success of this ceremony was related to whether King Chen could stabilize his power in Jianye.

Even though he was humiliated like this, King Chen still did not get angry.

On the eve of the Ullambana Festival, Luo Lingyu followed her husband Lu Yun to Zhongshan and lived in Kaishan Temple, representing the Lu family to support the ceremony hosted by King Chen. The day before the festival, Luo Lingyu took great pains to invite some girls she was close to to play with. But even so, the number of men and women from the gentry was still small.

Under the pavilion in the mountains, the young men and women sat around the water, playing "Qushui Liushang". Chen Wang Liu Chu was also present. Several young men suddenly came up the mountain to watch them play "Qushui Liushang" and to watch Chen Wang laugh, wondering how he could preside over this ceremony with so few people.

King Chen remained calm.

Luo Lingyu looked at the few people in the mountains and couldn't help whispering to Lu Yun: "Is everything really alright? What if no one comes at night? What will happen to King Chen?"

Lu Yun smiled mysteriously: "No one will come. Just wait and see."

Some watched the joke, some played games, some played games, the springs in the mountains gurgled, and several young men gradually lost their patience. One of them stood up and wanted to represent his brothers to mock King Chen in a hypocritical manner: "Old Fifth, if no one comes, this ceremony tonight will definitely not be held. Why don't you go and apologize to the hosts now? It's not too late. We are all brothers, and we can't bear to see you lose face. Wouldn't that also be a loss of face for the royal family?"

King Chen remained motionless.

The young masters were unhappy: "Fifth brother, please don't make things difficult for us."

Suddenly, a servant came in hastily and whispered a few words in the ear of King Chen who was sitting by the water. King Chen raised his eyebrows and after being laughed at for a long time, he stood up and personally greeted the young masters in their confusion: "Please invite the gentleman to come in--"

Everyone standing up by the water under the pavilion watched Prince Chen walk down the steps quickly and head in one direction to meet him. Luo Lingyu, standing beside Lu Yun, looked curiously and saw a group of gentlemen in white clothes coming out from the green trees. Walking down the hillside, the leaves of the trees brushed against their heads, the leaves of the flowers fell to the ground, and the bushes reflected their figures. Looking at the group of people walking majestically, solemnly, the wind blowing through their robes, they all had the demeanor of celebrities.
