Chapter 172: I Keep Myself Clean
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes turned slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyes, just covering up the surprise that flashed across her eyes.
She shifted her gaze towards Lu Chenzhou in the center of the hall, but unexpectedly bumped into a pool of deep, cold water.
Lu Chenzhou was actually staring at her.
Those eyes were so deep and bottomless that it was impossible to understand what he was thinking.
Lu Chenzhou now seems to be hiding himself a little deeper than before.
His face was full of respect and humility.
Even his acting skills have improved compared to before.
But when he stared at Lin Zhaoyue, there was still a hint of burning possessiveness in his eyes.
If you say that Xiao Tingye used to treat her like a ferocious beast hiding in the dark, always coveting her.
Then at this moment, Lu Chenzhou stared at her with eyes that were like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, making her spine cold.
Although the former made her frightened and even worried, it did not make her as disgusted as Lu Chenzhou.
Fortunately, she was determined to divorce Lu Chenzhou as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she really couldn't imagine what Lu Chenzhou would do to disgust her if they were still husband and wife.
Lin Zhaoyue withdrew her gaze coldly and didn't look at him again.
Today is an important day for Xiling to reply to the letter, so she also went to the court.
Since the crown prince was deposed, she has been attending court more often.
But he did not attend court every day. He would only go to the court when there was something important happening.
Just as he looked away, he met Xiao Tingye.
There was a hint of resentment and sadness in his eyes.
It left her confused.
But what Lu Chenzhou said in court today was indeed a little beyond her expectations.
Although she could monitor Lu Chenzhou's every move.
But not everything is known.
She didn't know the content of the letter sent by Xiling.
However, she had guessed that Xiling would not take the initiative to declare war at this time.
Therefore, some superficial efforts will definitely be made to calm the matter down and save Concubine Chun's life.
And what she and her father wanted was exactly this superficial effort.
If he wants to put on a show, he has to clip his own wings.
What she wanted was for Xiling to cut off his own wings.
However, she didn't expect that the other party would break it off so harshly.
Even Lu Chenzhou had to stay in the capital as a hostage.
You know, it is not wise to stay in the capital as a hostage at this time.
The emperor was also surprised. He calmly glanced at Xiao Tingye on his left, and then at Lin Zhaoyue on his right.
"Prince Lu actually asked to stay in the capital..." Xiao Tingye tucked his hands into his wide sleeves, his posture casual, but his eyes were filled with coldness. His tone was meaningful: "I don't know if it's to show his loyalty, or because of something dirty and shameful in his heart."
Lu Chenzhou curled his lips coldly and said in a deep voice, "Master Xiao, for the dirty and shameful things in your heart, haven't you done enough?"
Xiao Tingye's eyebrows slightly raised, and a condescending look appeared in his eyes.
"When it comes to being filthy, I can't compare to the dissolute and amorous Prince Lu."
"I am a single man, without a wife or concubines, and I have always kept myself clean. Your Majesty and the court officials all know this." He turned to look at Lin Zhaoyue, his lips curled slightly, and his tone was seductive: "Your Highness, am I right?"
The court officials: "???"
What did Lord Xiao say?
Why do you say you are clean?
Is this something to be proud of for a man in such a high position?
But this also reminded the ministers.
Lord Xiao has indeed not been interested in women in recent years.
No woman who comes to your door will have a good ending.
Even the people behind him were not spared.
Lord Xiao usually never talks about this matter, so why is he so... flirtatious in the hall today?
Perhaps using "fengshao" is not clear enough.
It should be said that it is showing off.
The emperor held his forehead.
Damn boy, will he have to suffer this kind of pain for every day he is not with Yue'er?
