Chapter 207 He Can't Wait Any Longer
Lu Shi also frowned at Lu Chenzhou's willingness to comply with Lin Zhaoyue's every request.
"Even though she's a princess, she's still a woman after all. Maybe she'll just be one of the women in your backyard in the future. If you dote on her like this, won't that make her even more aggressive?"
Lu Chenzhou's expression also turned cold, and he was even a little confused by Lu Shi's words. "So what? If I don't pamper her, does Dad want to see me being scolded every day?"
Lu Shi: “…”
Lu Chenzhou looked at the direction where Lin Zhaoyue left, and his voice became deeper. "As long as she treats me well, I will give her whatever she wants. I have already lost her once, and I can't lose her a second time."
He couldn't stand her disregard and disgust for him. Rather than the indifference in her eyes, he would rather she make demands on him. As long as she didn't leave his side, he was willing to satisfy her no matter what she wanted.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. If he made a fuss about asking for something, he would be flattered.
It made him feel a little better.
Lu Shi's face also looked a little ugly.
Although he was willing to help them be together, he didn't want his son to take her too seriously.
After all, Lin Zhaoyue is not an ordinary woman at all.
She is so good at manipulating people's hearts.
He was totally exploiting his son.
"Aren't you afraid that she came to Xiling on purpose?" Lu Shi frowned.
Lu Chenzhou curled his lips, "Whether she did it on purpose or not, it doesn't matter. She's already in Xiling, by my side. As long as this result is what I want, it's enough."
He turned and looked at Lu Shi. "Dad, I hope you understand. I want both the kingdom and the beauty. I can't lose her. If you try to do anything to her... or if you develop inappropriate feelings for her because she looks like your unattainable lover, I will be unhappy."
There was a hint of sinisterness in his last words, and his tone was unusual.
Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, because in his impression Lu Chenzhou was not like this.
Lu Chenzhou now looks like a cold blade tempered with venom.
Dangerous and deadly, extremely cunning and suspicious.
He no longer had the same respect for his father as he had when he was young.
Or rather, yes, but not many.
Lu Shi's expression didn't look too good either.
Could it be that what she just said made him suspicious?
"The Emperor must have already discovered your affair with the Queen Mother. He's just been hiding it for the sake of the royal family's reputation. I don't want this to get out, lest it bring shame to Xiling." Lu Chenzhou said calmly, "After all, having an affair with the Queen Mother is not a good thing to say."
Lu Shi's face turned pale and blue.
In fact, Lu Shi felt a little sad about the death of the empress dowager.
After all, she is the woman who has loved him so deeply for so many years.
Even though he regarded her as a tool to be used, he still had some feelings for her.
and……
"She treats you..." Lu Shi hesitated.
Lu Chenzhou's voice was cold and emotionless, "She and I have nothing to do with each other."
From Lu Chenzhou's words, Lu Shi already understood his attitude.
He actually didn't quite understand why his son had become so sentimental yet so heartless.
At this point, he couldn't understand him anymore.
But right now, he didn't want to argue with him about these things anymore.
"Forget it. You just need to know what the most important thing is right now." Lu Shi stopped talking about these things and said in a deep voice, "Xiling's army is about to arrive at the city. We can't delay any longer."
Lu Chenzhou's voice turned a little colder, "I know."
Although the situation in Xiling is not good now.
But they also relied on the complex terrain of Xiling, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they were not worried.
In particular, Xiling is a long way from the imperial court.
Once the war starts.
The enemy's reinforcements will definitely not be able to provide support in time, and food and grass are also a big problem. There are many bandits around Xiling, and there is also a rebel army on this border.
They calculated that even if a war broke out, Xiling would not be in danger.
The fact that the other party was waiting for the army and food was enough for them to do a lot of things.
In addition, Xiao Tingye must know that Lin Zhaoyue is in Xiling, so he dare not act rashly.
That's why the father and son were so calm at this time.
Needless to say, the foreign aid they sought has also been negotiated.
Outside Xiling City.
"Sir, the person has been brought here."
The subordinate was holding a woman with disheveled hair. His appearance could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen that she was very thin and had fainted.
"When we found her, she had just packed her bags and ran away. She was drugged and didn't wake up during the whole journey."
Xiao Tingye glanced at her and said coldly, "Throw her into Lingzhou City."
The subordinate nodded, "Yes."
After his subordinates took the woman away, Xiao Tingye also looked forward.
His eyes were as dark as a cold pond covered with snow.
"Do you want me to wait?"
"But... I can't wait any longer..."
He spoke each word in a low and hoarse voice, as if each word was squeezed out from his throat, desperately suppressing the impulse and anger in his heart.
Those pupils that seemed to be covered with snow also had a faint crimson color, and they stared coldly ahead...
Lin Miao, who was planning a trade route with his subordinates at the border, accidentally overheard the discussion among his subordinates.
"Did you know that the Prince of Xuanping has returned to Xiling? It's said he brought back a stunning beauty!"
"Yes, yes, I heard that too. Prince Lu asked everyone to call her the Crown Prince's Consort."
"Isn't this prince a consort? Why did he bring another woman back to be his consort?"
"Don't you know? This Xuanping Hou's son and the princess have already divorced, so the one he brought back must be that vixen Chu Yinyin..."
Lin Miao had a group of shopkeepers working in border areas, both men and women, and he called them all over to discuss important matters today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we got together, we started discussing the latest gossip.
This border city is not too far from Lingzhou City.
It is adjacent to the Xiling area, so the news spread so quickly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Miao stopped studying the trade routes.
"What? Lu Chenzhou returned to Xiling?"
"Yes, Master, it is said that Prince Lu has escaped from prison. Now everyone is saying that Xiling might be about to rebel. When I passed by Xiling a few days ago, I saw the imperial army. It looks like a war is about to break out."
One of the shopkeepers said.
They are all businessmen, so they are naturally a little sensitive about these things.
Although the ages of these shopkeepers range from their twenties to their forties, there are both old and young.
But without exception, they all obeyed the boss in front of them, even the little girl who looked only in her teens.
He also respected her very much.
Lin Miao has been negotiating trade routes with some prominent families in other countries outside the border for some time, but he knows very little about what is happening within Daxia.
So I only learned about Lu Chenzhou now.
She frowned and joined in the gossip, "That woman can't be Chu Yinyin, she's not a stunning beauty."
