Agil's sudden concern left Lu Zheng completely bewildered.
Didn't you used to despise and look down on me? What's with this sudden concern?
Agil saw through his thoughts and said, "I am very pleased that you, a woman with no strength, have come. I have heard from the Queen's maids that you begged and pleaded to come and check on my safety, to share my joys and sorrows. Rest assured, I have seen your loyalty. So, from now on, just follow the maids. If you are afraid of anything else, then don't go and see."
Lu Zheng: "!"
What did those women say?
After they were sent to prison, they were separated into different cells, the men in one cell and the women in another. How could he not know that he had cried and begged to come and share the hardships with them?
Lu Zheng was lying.
Agil, seeing Lu Zheng's bewildered expression, smiled for once and summoned two maids to keep Lu Zheng company.
Lu Zheng smiled awkwardly. Well, he'd better go back and quickly ruin the Yunhai royal family, otherwise, this misunderstanding will become huge.
After meeting his wife and daughter, King Yunhai was finally at ease.
The father and his two sons gathered together to talk, while Yunhai King's men went to handle the affairs of the entire Liangjing Kingdom.
Lu Zheng witnessed the tragic state of Liangjing Kingdom for three whole days, yet remained completely unmoved. He had seen too many such clear-headed observations; the victor is king, the loser is villain.
Perhaps because he wanted to expand the Yunhai tribe, King Yunhai did not exterminate Liangjing Kingdom. Apart from the royal family, he would give everyone else a way out as long as they submitted.
However, most of Liangjing Kingdom's resources were also taken away by the Yunhai tribe, and the lives of both nobles and commoners may not be as prosperous as before.
On the fourth day, the soldiers who had accompanied the eldest prince to the battlefield of Gorgon finally arrived.
He had barely slept for days and nights. Upon seeing King Yunhai and his two sons, he knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, the eldest prince… he has died in battle!”
The three members of the Yunhai King family froze for a moment, then the Yunhai Queen stood up and lifted the messenger up: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The messenger trembled: "The, the eldest prince... he's dead in battle!"
Queen Yunhai tossed the person into a corner with a wave of her hand.
Agil walked over and asked, "You said your brother died in battle?"
The messenger wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, he's dead. Prince Gorz launched a night raid on the camp, and the eldest prince was killed by Prince Gorz!"
Agil's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked in Gorz's direction: "Helian Yi!"
...
Because the eldest prince had an accident, the family of three did not stay in Liangjing Kingdom for long and returned home that same day, leaving the affairs of Liangjing Kingdom to their subordinates.
On the way back, Agil called Lu Zheng into his carriage.
After getting into the car, Lu Zheng kept his head down and didn't make a sound, which was very much in line with his persona.
Agil said in a deep voice, "I see you're quite good at accounting in my mansion. When we get back, I'll send you to the palace to take stock of all the grain and fodder that Yunhai can provide."
Lu Zheng looked up in surprise: "Your Highness, I am still inexperienced and I'm afraid..."
Ajir interrupted Lu Zheng: "My brother is in trouble. I suspect there's something fishy going on in the palace. I don't believe Helian Yi could kill my brother; it must be someone close to him. There have been a series of incidents in the palace recently, so it must be due to internal reasons. Keep an eye on things for me while you're on your way. Don't worry, you're one of my men; no one in the palace will dare to do anything to you."
