Chapter 136 Memories
Since his rebirth, Lu Xingzhi seldom thought about his previous life.
At this moment, I couldn't help but recall.
At the beginning, he really didn't like Nymph, and of course the same was true for other female monarchs. To him, there was no difference between all people.
No matter how deep the feelings are, what can it do? Even his father wants to take his life, and his brother is forcing him to death. What's more, he has no blood relationship with his wife. It will be the same no matter who he marries. When it comes to interests, they will all flee when disaster strikes.
Only power, when held in your hands, is the most real.
Therefore, almost all the power of Prince Xuan's Palace was in his hands at that time. He sidelined Prince Xuan and marginalized Zong Ting. Everyone in Prince Xuan's Palace dared to be angry but not to speak out, and had to demonstrate the unity of Prince Xuan's Palace to the outside world.
And he just happened to need to act in the name of Prince Xuan's Mansion, so he never denied it. Even when facing his humble father and brother, he still gave them enough face in front of others.
All this is just for profit.
And the marriage with Nymph was a coincidence.
He had seen Meng Ze "bullying" her, such as pushing her into a corner. The two of them behaved very intimately, with her hands resting on his chest, her ears flushed, and she looked charming and boneless.
This reminded him of when she rescued him, she took off his clothes, and when she applied medicine on him, her hands gently stroked his chest.
At that moment, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart, so he witnessed the whole process.
He wanted to see how Fourth Miss Ning would refuse, but unfortunately, although her eyes were red, she did not stop Meng Ze. He didn't know if she was trying to refuse but was willing, so he did not go forward.
Later, in Prince Xuan's mansion, he ran into her sitting alone in the pavilion, and asked her for no reason: "Do you want to marry Meng Ze?"
Even he didn't know why he asked this question.
Miss Ning said she didn't want to.
He thought the question was boring, so he just said "hmm" and didn't linger.
Not long after, Madam Ning came to discuss marriage with him. He refused the first time, but the second time, Madam Ning's eyes turned red and she told him that Meng Ze was forcing her to marry for profit and she was afraid that her daughter would die under Meng Ze's scheme.
Naturally, he did not want to see Meng Ze get the support of King Jin. Besides, Fourth Miss Ning had saved his life. To him, it made no difference who he married. After much thought, he agreed to the marriage.
The purpose of marrying anyone is just to have a child. In case he dies, she will guard the Prince Xuan's Palace for him, and the reward will naturally be the interests of the Prince Xuan's Palace. If he dies, everything will belong to them, mother and child.
At least he would keep Ning Fu safe, just as she saved him. The future of the Ningguo Mansion was worrying, and Meng Ze might really take her life.
Until the wedding day, she was so beautiful that he had some thoughts in his mind, so much so that he was a little absent-minded after the wedding ceremony. A man may have evil thoughts sooner or later, and after all, she was his wife, and it was reasonable for him to take her.
But Meng Ze poured cold water on him.
Meng Ze was drunk, his eyes red as he smiled provocatively at him: "It's a pity that the one my cousin married also surrendered to me. The fourth lady's body is so beautiful that I can't help but linger. If there was no scar on her chest, she would be more perfect, but it's enough to make me lose control."
Meng Ze had no interest in forcing women to sleep. He always liked to coax women into submitting willingly and giving their bodies to him.
"She likes me, but she's afraid of being used by me. In order to protect the Duke's Mansion, she married my third cousin." Meng Ze smiled, his eyes reddened, "But I didn't do it entirely for profit. I didn't do it entirely for profit. I like her very much."
Zong Si's thoughts were relieved.
Ning Fu saved him without knowing who he was, and there was no guarantee at the moment whether Meng Ze deliberately placed her next to him. After all, many women would do anything for the man they loved.
On the wedding night, he did not enter the bridal chamber.
Afterwards, he asked his subordinates to find out that Ning Fu had indeed stayed out overnight with Meng Ze.
After two months of busy work, he almost forgot about her.
Until that day, Nymph came to him holding Zhuoyao and called him "My dear" obediently.
Her eyes sparkled as she said delicately, "I will give Zhuoyao to you, but you have to go back to my room. Is this deal feasible?"
"I only want to give Zhuoyao to my husband." She added, "If anyone else asks me for it, I won't give it to them."
She was obviously shy and her whole body was blushing, but she was afraid that he would refuse her, so she looked at him straight, with "please" almost written on her face.
In fact, he didn't care much about Zhuo Yao. He had no shortage of good bows, and there were countless bows more valuable than Zhuo Yao.
But he enjoyed her advances and liked to try them out not only mentally but also physically.
That night he returned to their bedroom.
Jinghua Residence was under her care and exuded the scent of gardenia, but it was not unpleasant and he did not reject it.
Seeing his indifference, Nymph didn't get angry. Instead, she took out her treasures and said with a red face, "My dear, please choose."
This is simply asking for him to be bullied.
His reaction was almost immediate.
It was almost instinctive for the man to do this, and even though he had no experience, he still made her soften into a puddle of water, looking at him with her watery eyes.
He also felt a bit of pity. It had nothing to do with love, but was also a man's instinct at this moment.
So he taught her riding and archery. She was very smart, and he was more patient than she thought. Even when he was impatient, the two of them would struggle for a while at night, but they would be fine the next day. He even had the energy to study for her what kind of skills were suitable for her, and he almost taught her everything he knew.
Before he left for the North, he found out that Yuhuan was Meng Ze's woman. He knew that a woman had to be so in love with him that she would become a maidservant during the marriage. This was arranged by other men. He found many letters written by Meng Ze to Nymph from Yuhuan, all of which were placed in a small box by her.
Ning Fu met Meng Ze in private, but she did not mention it to him. He kept waiting for her to speak, but she disappointed him.
He even asked him about Meng Ze's recent situation in person, showing great concern.
He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. It was true that he was not very happy, and he even wanted to kill Meng Ze.
Especially a few days later, Meng Ze said: "She didn't want to marry me because of the Duke's Mansion. She was afraid of dying in my hands. It's not that she doesn't like me. If one day I ascend to that position, she will come back to find me."
All she likes is power.
He was not surprised, everyone was like this, all they loved was power.
He was not a man who was greedy for feelings. He had some tenderness towards Nymph, but he withdrew his affection quickly. Compared to fame and fortune, and power, love had no place in his heart.
She didn't take the initiative, and he didn't force it.
And when he asked his mother to deal with Yuhuan, she protected her with all her might and refused to do so. She was even willing to sacrifice herself. For Yuhuan, she knelt in front of his mother's courtyard for several days.
Later on, I let it go.
She was his savior, so if she was willing, then he would let her do it. She missed Meng Ze, and if she wanted to leave in the future, she would leave. All he could do was to protect her safety.
He has always been an only child, and is abandoned by everyone. It is normal for everyone to want to pull him down and make him live a life worse than death.
Only when the night is quiet, I sometimes think of the loving times I had with her.
I stayed in the north for more than half a year.
After the two of them returned, they seldom spent time together, and they only had sex for the sake of having children. He did want offspring, and their children were generally not bad.
This has been going on for two years.
It was not until the third year that Dongzhu told him in a letter that Ningfu missed him very much and told him that his Crown Princess liked him and it was not just a rumor, and asked him to be nicer to her.
It's not that he was bad to Nymph, he was just a mentally twisted person who didn't know how to get along with others. He just thought that he was letting her choose the way she liked.
He pondered for a few days, then wrote a letter back to Beijing in advance, telling her the day he would return.
But when he returned to the capital, all his lieutenants were waiting to be greeted by their wives, leaving him alone.
So that night, when he returned home from the palace, he demanded her very harshly, with resentment in his heart. He had clearly written her a letter.
But she was too lazy to say a word to him, and even asked in her sleep whether the Sixth Prince was going to become the emperor.
He didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. Of course, he was never a person who was willing to open his heart. He was cautious and indifferent to everyone and didn't trust anyone.
Zongduo described him as a cold-blooded madman, which was quite appropriate.
But he also cared a lot about Meng Ze. Although his relationship with her was cold, he cared more and more about her and Meng Ze. It was like a thorn in his heart, and he wanted to get rid of it very much.
When he returned to the North, he did not say hello to her again, just like in the past two years. In fact, when he first went to the North, he insisted that she see him off, fearing that it would be the last time they would see each other, but later their relationship faded and he did not keep his promise.
But I didn't know that this would be the last time we see each other.
As soon as the entourage arrived in Danzhou, people from the palace came riding at full speed.
"Prince, the Crown Princess is gone." The man was already in tears.
At that moment, he couldn't help shaking.
I couldn't believe it either.
