Although from the standpoint and motivation, the Queen Mother's actions are understandable, and the previous princes have not made any significant contributions to the cause of the family and the country, so the Queen Mother has not been in a hurry to take action. But now that Lu Xingzhou has made great contributions in recovering the northern border, the Queen Mother can no longer sit still.
The most ruthless people are the royal families. Although Lu Xingzhou understood this truth very well, he still felt sad when it happened to him.
The Queen Mother wanted to protect the eldest prince and the second prince because they had the blood of the Jiang family flowing in their veins. Although he had nothing to do with the Jiang family, he was also his father's biological child and the Queen Mother's grandson. Could the Queen Mother kill him so cruelly?
Tang Daozi knew that Lu Xingzhou was upset, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is often the case in imperial families. You don't have to be too sad."
In fact, Tang Daozi was a bit presumptuous in saying this, but he was in front of Lu Xingzhou, so he said whatever he wanted.
However, he is not afraid of the emperor because he does not want to get involved in political struggles. That is why he has stayed away from the court for so many years and would rather be a rich and idle person. So for him, even the emperor is nothing to be afraid of.
Besides, he doesn't care about those people in the palace. He only cares about his two disciples. Now there is also Chen Liyue, who is his disciple's wife and the person Tang Daozi cares about now.
Lu Xingzhou nodded silently: "Master, I know it in my heart."
Tang Daozi looked at Lu Xingzhou in front of him, but in the end said nothing.
Those in high positions are always lonely. Emperors of all dynasties who wanted to reach that position had to endure hardships that ordinary people had never experienced and saw the wickedness of human nature. If they had not experienced these, even if they reached a high position, it would be difficult for them to stay there for long.
Lu Xingzhou understood it in his heart, so he was silent for a moment, and his expression returned to calm and firm.
Tang Daozi was very satisfied. He believed that those who accomplished great things must be calm and composed and remain unperturbed by fame or disgrace. Seeing Lu Xingzhou adjust himself so quickly, Tang Daozi admired his disciple even more.
Tang Daozi pondered and asked, "Now that you guessed it was the Queen Mother, what are your plans?"
Lu Xingzhou thought for a moment and replied, "I don't plan to tell Father about this for now. First, although we suspect it was the Queen Mother who did it, we don't have any substantial evidence. Second, Father just learned about Lu Yu'an's situation. If I tell him that the Queen Mother attacked me, I'm afraid Father will be very upset."
Tang Daozi nodded. The fact that Lu Xingzhou thought this way showed that he not only had the ambition of an emperor, but also had human kindness.
Tang Daozi spoke slowly, "But you don't have to worry too much about your father. He's been through a lot, and he knows all this."
Lu Xingzhou nodded. The Queen Mother had forced him to marry the daughter of the Jiang family as his queen just for the glory of the Jiang family, regardless of his father's preferences. This had caused his father and mother to suffer for so many years, and his father was also dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.
After finishing the serious business, Tang Yidaozi put on a cheerful face again.
"I think your princess is a good one. I heard that she is good at business?" Tang Daozi asked with a smile.
Hearing his master's question, Lu Xingzhou was quite proud. "Yes, many shops in Wangjing City are hers. She was also the one who came up with the idea of signing an alliance with the Jin Kingdom."
If it weren't for the law in the Great Chu that women were not allowed to interfere in politics, Lu Xingzhou would have been willing to tell his father about this matter. However, in order to avoid any more trouble, Lu Xingzhou didn't say it this time. However, privately, Lu Xingzhou was very proud of Chen Liyue.
"Okay, okay." Tang Daozi smiled, "Then you won't be short of money in the future."
"Haha." Lu Xingzhou also laughed, "Could it be possible that we were missing a master in the past?"
Tang Daozi laughed heartily. He was just joking with Lu Xingzhou. With his own abilities, if he was willing, countless people would come to him for help. He would never be short of money.
Lu Xingzhou and Tang Daozi came out of the study and ran into Chen Liyue and Hong Ling, who was looking angry and sullen, behind them while walking on the path among the flowers.
"How did you get out?" Lu Xingzhou asked Shen Liyue with a smile.
Hong Ling spoke first, "It's still her! She insisted on walking out and was sweating all over."
"There's nothing to do sitting inside anyway, so I thought I might as well go out for a walk." Chen Liyue was not annoyed and answered Lu Xingzhou with a smile.
Lu Xingzhou walked over and naturally took Shen Liyue's hand, ignoring Hong Ling, turned around and said goodbye to Tang Daozi with a smile.
Tang Daozi never had the habit of having dinner. Moreover, he knew that Lu Xingzhou and Chen Liyue had just returned to Wangjing yesterday and must be tired, so he did not stay long. He waved his hand and told them to leave.
After Lu Xingzhou and Chen Liyue left, Tang Daozi called out "Hong Ling".
Hong Ling walked over with a pout and called out "Master".
Tang Daozi said sternly, "Do you really think your little tricks can't be seen by your master?"
Hong Ling's eyes turned red when she heard this, and a feeling of grievance instantly filled her heart.
"Master." Hong Ling's tone was a little coquettish. Master was a man, and there were some things she didn't feel comfortable saying to him, but she really didn't have anyone around her to talk to.
Tang Daozi sighed. He still loved Hong Ling, his last disciple, but there were some things in this world that could not be forced.
If Lu Xingzhou still has Hong Ling in his heart, he would be happy to see Hong Ling have a good home, so that he can go down and explain to his old friend after a hundred years.
But now it seems that Lu Xingzhou does not have these thoughts about her, and based on Hong Ling's personality, she is not suitable to marry into the imperial family.
Tang Daozi never married and was not very good at matters between men and women. He didn't know how to comfort Hong Ling for a while.
On the way back, Lu Xingzhou held Shen Liyue's hand all the time, and Shen Liyue did not struggle and let Lu Xingzhou hold her hand.
"You were sitting in the flower hall. Why did you come out for no reason? Is Hong Ling making things difficult for you?" Lu Xingzhou asked.
Chen Liyue glanced at Lu Xingzhou and said with a smile, "How could she possibly embarrass me? I just looked around and saw that there was nothing to do sitting there, so I might as well go out for a walk. But your little sister said I was rude and that I was wandering around her house."
Lu Xingzhou felt a little unhappy after hearing this. If he didn't want to say something today that he wanted to avoid Hong Ling, he really wouldn't want to leave Chen Liyue there alone.
"Then what did you say?" Lu Xingzhou asked again.
Chen Liyue chuckled. "What can I say? I'll just say that the deed to this farm is in my hands now. What's wrong with me coming to my farm to take a look?"
Lu Xingzhou laughed loudly, he knew that Shen Liyue would not suffer any loss.
But he should resolve Hong Ling's matter if necessary. If she was just an unimportant person, then Lu Xingzhou wouldn't have to care about her at all. But after all, Hong Ling was still his junior sister, and Lu Xingzhou didn't want his master to be caught in the middle.
