Chapter 154 He Didn’t Leave
The subtitles floating before her eyes made Lin Zhaoyue take a sip of tea calmly.
I wonder how Xiao Tingye would feel if he knew that a group of guys treated him as their own child.
But they are right.
The Xiao Tingye in the original plot they mentioned was actually the villain who targeted the male and female protagonists most of the time, and did excessive things to them.
Apart from that, he has never done anything truly unfaithful.
But it is true that this person is cruel and ruthless.
Anyone who provokes him will be killed without a complete body.
As for going crazy, there is no rationality left.
Therefore, Xiao Tingye in the later part of the original plot killed people like crazy, was brutal and cruel, and was no longer a normal person. He took pleasure in torturing and killing people.
She saw someone analyzing Xiao Tingye's behavior in the subtitles.
It was said that he had accumulated a lot of violence in his heart and needed a way to vent it.
Killing is his way of venting his anger.
They call this behavior perversion.
"Lu Shi did it on purpose, didn't he?" Lin Zhaoyue frowned. "Why did he get seriously injured at that exact moment?"
Qiao Qingfeng's voice was cold and gloomy. "Who knows if it's true or not? Ever since your mother got together with His Majesty, this brat has always liked to secretly trip you up. Later, when he heard that your mother had gone to the border and that her injuries had healed somewhat, he led his troops to the northern border despite his so-called serious injuries."
Lin Zhaoyue understood. Judging from her grandfather's tone, Lu Shi might have done it on purpose.
They deliberately allowed war to break out in the northern border.
This person probably already had such evil ambitions back then.
"Grandpa, have you ever heard anything about what happened between the Empress Dowager and Lu Shi?" Lin Zhaoyue asked.
Qiao Qingfeng pondered for a moment. "I'm not entirely sure about this, but the Empress Dowager entered the palace when Your Majesty was still the Crown Prince. She was only a few years older than your mother when she entered the palace. As for the connection between the Empress Dowager and Lu Shi, it's that they were neighbors. The Empress Dowager was the daughter of the Minister's mansion, and the house where Lu Shi lived at the time was only separated by a wall.
But the Empress Dowager seems to have always been against the reduction of feudal fiefdoms, and has shown a particular fondness for Lu Shi and his son. When Lu Chenzhou asked to marry you, it is said that the Empress Dowager was also strongly opposed, and even had an argument with His Majesty. Later, a letter arrived from Xiling, in which the Marquis of Xuanping asked His Majesty to grant the marriage for Prince Lu, and the Empress Dowager finally relented.
Lin Zhaoyue knew about this, but she didn't think much about it at the time.
The Queen Mother had never liked her and had always liked to make trouble for her since she was a child.
But Lin Zhaoyue is not someone who would just accept things passively.
So the Queen Mother never gets any favor from her.
Lin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, "The Empress Dowager is quite special to this father and son."
[It’s special, an old lover]
Lu Chenzhou is just like his father, a complete scumbag.
[They all say they love Bai Yueguang, but in fact they have been sleeping with other women behind her back]
[Could Lu Chenzhou really be the son of the Queen Mother and Lu Shisheng?]
[I don't know. The original text mentioned it very vaguely, but I guess it is. Otherwise, why would the Queen Mother have been secretly helping them?]
Qiao Qingfeng didn't dare to say anything, but his face darkened.
Lin Zhaoyue thought for a moment and had a rough idea of what happened that year.
"Why are you asking about the Queen Mother?" Qiao Qingfeng sensitively noticed something.
Lin Zhaoyue raised the corner of her lips slightly, "Nothing, just asking casually."
Some secrets do not need to be made public.
It doesn’t matter whether it is known to others or not.
What matters is whether its presence can cause them trouble.
As for the truth behind her mother's death, she now has no evidence.
So she couldn't say much to her grandfather for the time being.
At this moment, a young man's voice sounded.
"Aunt Princess!"
As soon as Lin Zhaoyue looked over, she saw a handsome young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old wearing soft armor walking in.
The boy was filled with excitement, and his already tanned face was now tinged with red, making people laugh.
Lin Zhaoyue was a little surprised, "Yang'er has grown so big."
She remembered that the last time she saw Qiao Yang, he was still a half-grown child.
Qiao Yang scratched his head. "Aunt, you've been away for two years, and you didn't see me when you came back. How can I not grow up?"
Lin Zhaoyue also laughed when she heard this, "That's true, your body has become stronger too."
Qiao Qingfeng looked at him and said, "This kid has been training in the army for the past two years. He keeps asking to go to the border. I think in a few years, he won't be able to stay."
Qiao Yang immediately said, "Great-grandfather, I'm already a lieutenant! As long as I fight on the battlefield and earn some military merit, I can become a general like you!"
Qiao Qingfeng frowned, "You still want to be a general, you are still far from it."
Lin Zhaoyue looked at Qiao Yang, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
[This child is a good seedling. I hope he won’t die at the hands of Lu Chenzhou in the later plot.]
[The original text states that the Zhenguo Mansion was destroyed after the princess died, and Qiao Yang rebelled against it, leading to his death by Lu Chenzhou. As long as the princess survived, Qiao Yang would definitely not die.]
[Even after the princess died, this child continued to feel sorry for the princess and kept looking for trouble with Chu Yinyin, which indirectly implicated the Duke's Mansion.]
[After all, Qiao Yang has admired the princess since he was a child, and he can be considered the princess's little fanboy.]
[Actually, Qiao Yang also admires Lao Xiao, but because he's the princess's rival, Qiao Yang has always disliked Lao Xiao. This protective attitude is exactly like the princess's...]
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes softened as she slowly said, "Yang'er, of course you can be a general."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yang immediately became proud.
"Great-grandfather, did you hear that? My aunt said I can be a general!"
Qiao Qingfeng was annoyed, "Don't praise him, his tail is almost up to the sky."
Lin Zhaoyue just smiled and said nothing.
After Qiao Yang arrived, Lin Zhaoyue exchanged a few pleasantries with him and asked about his recent situation.
Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said goodbye.
Originally, Qiao Qingfeng wanted to keep her for dinner, but although she was close to the Duke's Mansion by blood, their relationship was not that close in reality.
Their relationship is one where they protect each other and care about each other, but there is always a lack of personal connection.
Lin Zhaoyue herself is not someone who can easily get close to others, and there is always some distance between them.
But with my own identity, I am afraid that they will feel uncomfortable.
So I left early on the pretext of having something to do.
As soon as Lin Zhaoyue was sent out of the princess's mansion by Qiao Yang, she saw the familiar sedan chair.
It’s really as the subtitles say.
Xiao Tingye did not leave.
"Isn't this someone's carriage?" Qiao Yang didn't recognize the sedan chair, but he recognized Yinchuan.
He frowned and said, "Aunt, do you want me to blast him away?"
Lin Zhaoyue retracted her gaze and said, "No, you can go back."
Qiao Yang nodded obediently, but still gave the sedan a strange look.
Lin Zhaoyue turned around and walked directly towards her carriage.
With the help of Mu Ying, he just got on the carriage.
The man in the sedan had already gotten off and was striding slowly towards Lin Zhaoyue's carriage.
Mu Ying immediately stopped him, "Master Xiao, what are you doing?"
Xiao Tingye glanced at Mu Ying indifferently, but his calm gaze and the aura of majesty without anger made Mu Ying feel cold all over.
But Mu Ying did not retreat, and her expression became more alert.
However, at this moment, Xiao Tingye moved and got on the carriage.
Before she could even react, Xiao Tingye had already lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Princess!" Mu Ying was startled.
