Chapter 200 Xiling
Xiling.
After entering Xiling, Lu Chenzhou gave Lin Zhaoyue the antidote to the muscle softening powder as he said.
Not only that, he also showed some consideration, allowing her to get off the carriage and personally taking her for a stroll through the streets of Xiling City.
But perhaps because he was worried that her overly eye-catching face would bring unnecessary trouble, Lu Chenzhou ordered Mingxi to put a light veil on her.
"Every time you appear before those young masters of aristocratic families in the capital, their eyes, without exception, want to climb into your bed." Lu Chenzhou's deep voice was particularly clear amid the hustle and bustle of the streets. "If you have many concubines in your backyard... believe it or not, those men will flock to you like flies."
Mingxi frowned and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye where Lu Chenzhou couldn't see.
Lin Zhaoyue seemed to have heard nothing. Her face beneath the veil was as calm as water, and her eyes were focused on the scenery on the streets of Xiling.
"Yue'er, you are so beautiful." Lu Chenzhou's voice suddenly softened. "If you were really Princess Zhaohua, there would be even more people coveting your position. Power is just a plaything for you, so why cling to the princess status? I can give you much more than that."
[Heh, you're just a plaything.]
Come on, my ex-husband isn't even qualified to be a plaything.
[Liking princesses isn’t just about beauty, do you understand?]
[The princess is too noble, you can't reach her, so you want to pull her down from the altar and make her your canary, right? ?]
Do you know what you call someone who dreams of picking the moon? Wishful thinking.
[Men's bad nature is exposed]
Lin Zhaoyue smiled: "Can you give me the position of Crown Prince's Consort?"
Her cold tone carried a condescending air, "Lu Chenzhou, you're not trying to turn me into a canary to be tormented by you just because you can't reach me, are you?"
She suddenly stopped walking forward.
Her beautiful eyes are flowing, and her eyebrows are full of nobility and unparalleled.
"Even if I die, I will still be the noble Princess Zhaohua of the Great Xia Dynasty. A dirty man like you is nothing more than a loach wallowing in the gutter, not even worthy of carrying my shoes. If you want me to be your canary, you should at least consider your own worth."
Lu Chenzhou's knuckles were clenched white, but the anger surging in his eyes froze when it touched the corners of her raised eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the shout of "Tanghulu" from the front, and he walked towards the hawker in coarse cloth clothes.
When I came back, my slender fingers were holding a crystal clear candied haws.
He said softly, "In the past, when we went out together to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, you would always buy a string of candied haws..."
But before he could finish his words, Lin Zhaoyue had already walked forward and away.
Before Lu Chenzhou finished speaking, he tightened his fingers around the candied haws.
[How could this princess be a captive? She is clearly a master.]
[The princess can't bear any grievances at all, hahahaha]
[Have you forgotten that the princess was so badly injured after falling off the cliff, and she still treated Lao Xiao like a dog? Hahahaha]
"That can't be helped. My princess has never learned how to be humble."
[I love this kind of princess woooooooo]
[But Princess, won't this drive Lu Chenzhou crazy?]
[He couldn't send any hair. He thought the princess was sick and didn't dare to touch her.]
[Fuck, could it be that the princess even considered her own illness as a chess move?]
[Even if she's so hard on herself, the princess will succeed in everything she does.]
Lin Zhaoyue already disliked Lu Chenzhou, so naturally she couldn't give him a good face.
If he spoke more nicely, perhaps she would be kind enough not to scold him.
But as soon as this man opened his mouth, she felt like slapping him to death.
However, she also wanted to see how long he could tolerate her.
She observed the scenery of Xiling and the situation in Xiling City without leaving any trace.
Xiling consists of a total of six cities, among which Lingzhou City is the central city of Xiling, which is also the location of Xuanping Hou Mansion.
The five cities lean against each other firmly, their walls connected, almost merging into one.
The city where Xiling had sacrificed his flesh before was the most remote and the poorest of the six cities.
Lu Chenzhou's patience was stronger than Lin Zhaoyue had imagined. He had just been scolded, but he acted as if nothing had happened.
When she sat down in a teahouse, he sat opposite her with a normal expression, his eyes lowered with a hint of disappointment.
Her voice was gentle: "If you don't like those words, I won't say them anymore. You...don't always get angry with me and say those things, okay?"
"I'm just too jealous. I can't bear the thought of someone else taking you away from me..."
Lin Zhaoyue's veil twitched slightly, but she didn't respond to his words. Instead, she asked, "The news from the capital can't reach Xiling?"
"Outside Xiling, you're a wanted criminal." Lin Zhaoyue tapped the edge of the table with her slender fingers and said slowly, "But here, I just saw several people greet you."
It seemed rare to hear Lin Zhaoyue not scold him. A bright light flashed in Lu Chenzhou's eyes, and he answered her questions very actively.
"Naturally, news from the capital will be intercepted. Xiling has its own world, like a pure land, a paradise. The people here only know about the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and respect it as the most important place. News from the capital will never reach their ears."
Lin Zhaoyue: "You're telling me this now. How is it any different from treason?"
But he suddenly smiled, his eyes piercing through her, "Yue'er, since I brought you into Xiling, the charge of treason has already been more than just this one. Even if there wasn't treason, I'd already been guilty of it. So, what's the harm in telling you this?"
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "You are honest."
In other words, outside Xiling, Lu Chenzhou is a wanted criminal, but in Xiling, he is the master here.
Her spies had once reported back Xiling's interception of news from the imperial court, but now that she had actually come here, she truly felt as if this place was a country of its own.
This was something she could not feel while far away in the capital.
Lu Chenzhou's eyes softened as he coaxed her gently, "I have nothing to hide from you now. I can tell you anything you want to know."
Just at this moment, the sound of someone talking was heard in the teahouse.
"Our Xiling Crown Prince has endured humiliation and hardship in the capital for these years. If he doesn't stay in the capital, I'm afraid the court will suspect that we Xiling have ulterior motives. How will we ordinary people still have a good life then?"
"Of course not."
"Yes...it's hard for the prince."
"The prince has been in the capital for many years, and I don't even know what he looks like..."
"This is what the prince looks like. Come, take a look..."
…
They were sitting a little to the side at this time, so they had no contact with other people, but they could hear the conversation coming from the other side.
See Lin Zhaoyue looking over there.
Lu Chenzhou curled his lips, "Yue'er, do you understand now?"
But his eyes were fixed on hers.
Lin Zhaoyue's calm eyes showed no emotion. "When did you ever have any rebellious thoughts?"
