Chapter 205: My Curses Are Always Harsh
There was something else behind Lu Shi's words. "The princess seems to be enjoying herself in the Marquis' Mansion. I heard that she had a good rest these past two days."
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "If I'm not content, what do you think I should do?"
She paused slightly. "Or do you think I should make a scene, scream and groan? Beg you to let me go? Or curse you, traitors, and damn you to death?"
"If the Marquis likes to hear it, then a few words of scolding from me are harmless." Lin Zhaoyue smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "After all, I have always been good at scolding people harshly."
As expected, Lu Shi's expression turned a little uglier after hearing Lin Zhaoyue's words.
He had long heard of Princess Zhaohua's reputation. When he first went to the capital, he had also seen Lin Zhaoyue when she was a young girl.
By then, her reputation for tyranny was already known throughout the court.
[Princess: Are you looking for a scolding? I'll satisfy you.]
[Laughing to death, I don’t dare to provoke you at all]
[Otherwise, why would Lu Chenzhou keep coaxing the princess? Isn’t it because he’s afraid of being scolded? Hahahaha]
[Who can resist the princess's indiscriminate attack?]
[Don't even mention them, even Lao Xiao can't bear it, hahahaha, just grasp the opponent's pain point precisely and step on it to death]
Naturally, Lu Shi wasn't so shameless as to come and get scolded.
He walked slowly to the other side of the stone bench and sat down.
"Princess, you're right. You're of noble status, so you're naturally not like an ordinary woman." Lu Shi said in a low voice, "Otherwise, Zhou'er wouldn't have fallen so deeply in love with you back then, even going so far as to stay in the capital as a hostage."
"In order to facilitate your marriage, I am also willing to never leave Xiling during your marriage, as a token of my sincerity and loyalty."
"To be honest, Princess, I am very satisfied with your marriage to Zhou'er."
Lu Shi told the story of their marriage.
"But unexpectedly, your marriage was suddenly thrown into disarray, leading to divorce." He spoke with a touch of regret, but his emotions remained calm. "But men always make mistakes, and emotions... can be messy. The fact that he risked his life to bring you to Xiling is enough to show how important you are to him."
Lin Zhaoyue understood.
Lu Shi came here to lobby for Lu Chenzhou.
At the same time, he was also testing her.
She suddenly remembered that Lu Shi had indeed been very supportive of her marriage to Lu Chenzhou.
She even offered him not to step out of Xiling as a betrothal gift for their wedding, to reassure the court and her father.
For a vassal king, this is undoubtedly like imprisoning himself.
Even when the emperor held Xiling accountable for the Chu Yinyin incident, Marquis Xuanping's response was that he did not want the two of them to divorce.
But in the current situation, killing myself secretly would actually be most beneficial to them.
As long as I die, the court will be in chaos.
Moreover, there is no evidence to prove that she was abducted by them, so Xiling can deny it to death.
But he didn't.
Instead, he came to act as a lobbyist for himself.
[Because Lu Laodeng himself was not with the queen, he transferred his feelings to the princess. He had already regarded the male protagonist as himself to make up for his regrets.]
[No wonder Lu Laodeng initially agreed to the princess and her ex-husband getting married.]
He thought Lu Chenzhou was himself, so if Lu Chenzhou got the princess, it would be like he got his own White Moonlight Queen.
[Both father and son are a bunch of bastards, right?]
After hearing the explanation in the subtitles, Lin Zhaoyue finally understood why Lu Shi had such a reaction.
She also understood why Lu Shi had insisted on arranging her marriage with Lu Chenzhou.
Lin Zhaoyue smiled coldly and said, "My Lord, are you talking about Lu Chenzhou or yourself?"
"If emotions could be confused, then my mother wouldn't have married my father, right? It's because my mother resolutely chose my father that I am born, isn't it?"
These words seemed to hit Lu Shi with precision.
His expression turned cold. "So what if she chose your father? Didn't your father choose her as his only choice? The women in the harem are nothing!!"
His eyes were vicious, filled with anger and unwillingness, "She would rather choose a man with a harem than me! It was obviously me who fell in love with her first!"
[My defense is broken, my defense is broken, I am exactly the same as my ex-husband]
Who told you to keep the Queen hanging? You're flirting with your childhood sweetheart while keeping the Queen hanging, you big bitch!
[While flirting with childhood sweetheart, he told the Queen, "You two have nothing?"
[At least the Emperor's feelings for the Empress are pure. What's pure about you?]
[Although I don’t like the emperor’s love for the queen and the harem…but this is a feudal dynasty! The women in the harem are also closely tied to the interests, there’s nothing we can do about it.]
[That's right, actually, the Emperor also gave the Empress a choice, but it's clear that the Empress values spiritual purity more...]
…
Lin Zhaoyue didn't expect that just a casual word from her could stimulate Lu Shi to say what was in his heart.
It can be seen that this matter is indeed very important to him.
It can even be said that this is his pain point.
The subtitles are correct.
Although my father has a harem, everyone can see that he favors my mother.
He almost mindlessly sided with his mother.
It was also her father who made her understand one thing.
In the face of absolute favoritism, any conspiracy or intrigue is futile.
The women in the harem did everything they could to win favor at the beginning, and naturally some of them framed their mother.
But my father's preference for my mother made all these tricks to win favor seem ridiculous.
Regardless of right or wrong, even if it is to frame the Queen Mother, the false evidence has been placed in front of the Emperor.
The emperor only dealt with those who obtained the evidence and those who knew about it.
He said: Even if it was the Queen Mother who did it, it was what those people deserved, because the Queen Mother was very kind and would not let those who did not deserve to die die.
When she was a child, she once asked her father, what if her mother really did something bad?
My father said that if my mother really did something bad, it would be his fault.
Because he was sorry to his mother, and he didn't have the ability to make her the only one in the harem.
