Chapter 122 Lu Xingzhi, intentional
Nymph looked up at him.
Because the rocky terrain is high, he seems to be looking down from a high vantage point. Lu Xingzhi's eyes are much colder than his usual considerate look.
"Cousin Ning takes care of people like this. If many people were to receive care from Cousin Ning, I'm afraid many would be moved." Meng Ze did not notice Lu Xingzhi, and teased him vaguely.
This is quite interesting. He is not speculating about others, but is clearly talking about himself. In fact, he is just flirting with Nymph.
Lu Xingzhi glanced at the man under the rock, then looked up at Nymph without saying a word, as if he was waiting for her to explain.
Nymph paused for a moment before disassociating herself from the matter and said, "The Sixth Prince was bitten by a wild beast, and I happened to see him."
She had to take care of this, otherwise if anything happened to Meng Ze, she would be held accountable.
Lu Xingzhi's expression did not ease at all.
Only then did Meng Ze realize that someone was coming, but he was too weak to look up.
"The guards saw the fireworks you set off and are on their way." Lu Xingzhi said.
Meng Ze recognized the voice as Lu Xingzhi's and narrowed his eyes.
Then he heard the footsteps of the man coming down from the rock. Lu Xingzhi glanced at him indifferently and saw the wound that Nymph had bandaged carefully for him.
"What kind of beast bit the Sixth Prince?" Lu Xingzhi looked at him and asked.
Meng Ze glanced at Ning Fu and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. It would not be a good thing if Ning Fu knew that he was bitten by a sow wild boar.
He felt a little displeased. Why did a small commander come to question him?
However, Lu Xingzhi showed no fear of him at all, and said calmly: "There are many wild boars wandering around here, which can be considered as fierce beasts. Other beasts will avoid them. Your Highness was bitten by a sow with piglets, right?"
Nymph paused.
Meng Ze was almost vomiting blood out of anger. It was obvious that Lu Xingzhi did this on purpose. He wanted to make him look bad in front of Ning Fu. His mood became even gloomier, but he was powerless to argue with him.
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince should have been accompanied by servants. Why did you dismiss them and not let them come with you?" Lu Xingzhi asked again.
Men knew each other's thoughts very well, and this deliberate pointing out made Meng Ze feel a little angry.
This Lu Xingzhi is really too disrespectful to him.
But Ning Fu understood the deeper meaning. She was afraid that Meng Ze was coming for her, so she asked everyone around him not to follow him. As they were alone in the mountains, she would not be able to explain even if something happened.
In this life, although Meng Ze did not force her like he did in the previous life, he would probably not give up on thinking about her. Now that his father has been promoted, he can put a lot of effort into it. Even if it is to alienate his father and Meng Che, marrying her will be beneficial to him.
"Fourth Miss, you go up and wait. Since there is a wild boar's nest here, there may be danger again. I will guard Your Highness the Sixth Prince." Lu Xingzhi said.
Nymph nodded.
Meng Ze glanced at the sword on Lu Xingzhi's waist, the bow on his back, and then at his face.
There was actually a warning on that face that was neither humble nor arrogant.
That aura actually gave him a sense of familiarity, which made him really angry.
This is totally contrary to Tian Gang. How could a son of the Lu family, a small family, have the confidence to warn him?
But soon Meng Ze felt exhausted, sleepy and passed out.
Lu Xingzhi just lowered his head and looked at him coldly without saying anything.
In just a moment, the guards arrived, and with them came Emperor Jingwen.
Meng Ze was injured, and Emperor Jingwen was furious: "You are all good-for-nothings! If anything happens to Old Six, you will all be buried with him!"
The servant who followed him turned pale with fear, fell to his knees on the ground, and trembled.
This was the first time that Ning Fu saw Emperor Jingwen look so sinister.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is not in danger of his life." The imperial physician said after examining Meng Ze.
Emperor Jingwen's expression eased and he said, "Take Lao Liu back first."
He looked at Nymph again and said kindly, "This time it's all thanks to Afu."
"Uncle, please take Sixth Cousin back first. There's no need to worry about me." Ning Fu said.
Emperor Jingwen glanced at her, and considering Meng Ze's injury, he did not linger any longer. When he left, he said, "This place is dangerous. You escort the fourth girl back. If anything happens, you will be held accountable!"
Ning Fu felt a little creepy in her heart. After learning that Meng Ze was not in danger of his life, Emperor Jingwen did not dismount to see Meng Ze. It didn't seem like he was worried about his son, but rather that he was afraid that his only heir would also be gone.
Although we know that the royal family is cold and indifferent, seeing it with our own eyes still makes people feel cold.
Lu Xingzhi said: "Let's go."
Because she was surrounded by guards, Nymph did not speak. When she arrived at her residence, she said with emotion: "Being a prince may not be easy."
Lu Xingzhi paused and said seriously: "It's not just the royal family. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. When you hold power, anyone can be abandoned for the sake of the entire family."
"My father would never do that." Nymph looked at him and said, "No matter how powerful my father is, he will never abandon me."
"But you can sacrifice yourself for the Duke's Mansion." Lu Xingzhi also looked at her.
"Active choice is different from passive choice," said Nymph.
Lu Xingzhi's eyes were somewhat complicated, and he said: "Well, there are also people who, whether they choose actively or passively, will only have one result."
"It's probably painful to know you're going to be sacrificed, even though you're prepared," said Nymph. Then she thought of something else and said, "The prince in the previous life also encountered a similar situation."
In the year that Zong Si disappeared, could it be that King Xuan was also prepared to sacrifice him?
Ning Fu's mood became a little more complicated. Could it be because of this that Zong Si's temperament became so cold and indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything and was so cold that it was difficult to communicate with him?
Although he was willing to sacrifice himself for Prince Xuan's palace and die for Dayan, when he learned that King Xuan had given up on him, although he understood, he must have felt pain in his heart.
Lu Xingzhi said nothing more, and after a long while he said, "Maybe."
"In the previous life, I actually hoped that he would be fine rather than having a future in Prince Xuan's Mansion. Every time he left the capital, I was terrified. Sometimes I thought that he might as well find a leisurely job in the capital, at least his life would not be in danger." Ning Fu couldn't help but sigh.
It’s a pity that Zong Si is not someone who is willing to give up power.
Lu Xingzhi's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.
"After the Fourth Miss passed away, I heard from Dongzhu who was by her side that every time the Crown Prince left the capital, the Fourth Miss would secretly shed tears." Lu Xingzhi said.
"It happens a year before the wedding, but not afterwards." Ning Fu smiled with relief.
Lu Xingzhi said: "It's because the prince doesn't know how to cherish the fourth lady. He doesn't know that the fourth lady is the only one in the palace who puts him first."
Ning Fu said: "Mr. Lu was angry with me just now"
"I'm not angry with the Fourth Miss, I'm just worried that the Fourth Miss was deceived by the Sixth Prince." Lu Xingzhi said, "Although he is good-looking and... powerful, he is not a good person."
"Well, Mr. Lu is a good man."
Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, then said calmly: "What does the fourth lady mean?"
Ning Fu smiled and said, "Master Lu, please figure it out yourself."
Lu Xingzhi took a step forward, approached her, and said: "Fourth Miss, is it my character and behavior that you admire, or is it just my appearance?"
“What’s the difference?”
"For me, it's a huge difference." Lu Xingzhi said after a long silence.
