Chapter 226 The old scumbag is very sinister
He took a deep breath and stared at the woman in front of him for a while.
"No wonder Your Highness the Princess has been able to sit firmly in the imperial court for so many years. Even if your reputation is completely ruined, it still cannot shake your position in the court."
Lin Zhaoyue did not have a very good reputation in the past.
It's not just a political tactic, but also because no one who goes against her has ever had a good ending.
In addition, as the eldest sister of the prince, Lin Ye, as the prince, obeys his sister's words.
Naturally, there were rumors that Princess Zhaohua was abusing her power and manipulating the prince.
What's worse, there were ministers in the court who slapped those who spoke rudely to her.
Therefore, Lin Zhaoyue's reputation was not good either among the people or in the government.
It can even be said to be bad.
But at that time, Lu Chenzhou just liked her and was madly obsessed with her.
He tried every possible means to become her consort.
After getting married, Lin Zhaoyue became more and more manipulative, but two years after marriage, Lu Chenzhou, the son-in-law of the emperor, had not gotten anything useful from her.
He didn't know what her hidden power was, nor did he know who her spies in the court were.
The princess party is for others to see in public, but no one knows about it behind closed doors.
Of course, the so-called bad reputation of Lin Zhaoyue was only in the past.
I don’t know when Princess Zhaohua’s reputation began to change.
By the way, it was after Chu Yinyin got involved with his son.
Princess Zhaohua, who was originally cruel and intolerant, suddenly became generous and kind.
To the people, she is kind, willing to divorce and help lovers, and magnanimous.
In the court and the country, she was the one who killed her own relatives for the sake of the country and the people of Daxia. She was also the master chosen by the mermaids. She brought peace and tranquility to the world. She was also the one who made the princess party proud. She had the strategy and means to find the real culprit of the assassination. And she was the one who planned and strategized Princess Zhaohua...
Overnight, all the rumors about Princess Zhaohua seemed to have been cleared.
Everyone is praising Princess Zhaohua.
And the beginning of it all——
It was the incident of Princess Zhaohua catching an adulterer in public at Zuihua Tower.
Even Xiao Tingye, who was once her almost mortal enemy and occupied half of the court with endless political struggles, now seemed to have a close relationship with her...
Hearing Lu Shi's praise, Lin Zhaoyue chuckled.
"Then I will reluctantly accept the Marquis's praise." She accepted it happily and generously, without any modesty.
This attitude not only does not make her look arrogant, but makes her look even more noble and unparalleled.
After all, given her status and ability, it is only natural for her to receive such praise.
Lu Shi's eyes darkened. "But you are still a prisoner in Xiling, aren't you? A wise man knows the current situation. I hope Your Highness will recognize the current situation."
The smile on Lin Zhaoyue's lips turned cold, and frost appeared in her eyes.
"Princess, you should understand that this stalemate is of no benefit to anyone." Lu Shi continued, "I came here today to discuss a mutually beneficial deal with Your Highness."
Lin Zhaoyue became interested.
Lu Shi stared at her and spoke slowly, "You should know that without preparation, Xiling wouldn't have reached this point. There's bound to be a war between Xiling and the imperial court. I can assure you, Princess, that the imperial court cannot crush Xiling."
He spoke with confidence and assurance.
"Without thorough preparation, we cannot possibly meet the enemy. No matter how skilled Xiao Tingye may be at commanding his troops, this is Xiling, our Lu family's territory." Lu Shi said word by word, "Xiling's hidden cards are far beyond the imperial court's imagination."
[I don't believe it, unless you go fight Lao Xiao now and see if he kills you]
[I can give you the ability, old scumbag]
[The princess and Lao Xiao have already figured out your stuff, why are you being so arrogant?]
[Princess, don't believe him. He's just bluffing. But don't let your guard down. This old scumbag is very sinister.]
He continued, "The princess and Chen Zhou are husband and wife, so they should be of one mind. He is so devoted to you that he even risked his life to bring you back. Even though he was a prisoner, he obeyed you in every way. Isn't this kind of affection enough to move Your Highness?"
He patiently counseled, "No matter how much a woman manipulates power, no matter how powerful she is, she will ultimately have to take care of her husband and children. The princess desires the most honorable position, and so does my son. In fact, there is no conflict between you. I can grant the honor your Highness seeks. If he ascends the throne, you will be the queen, and you will still rule the country."
"Different paths lead to the same destination. If you two work together and help him become emperor, the princess won't have to constantly be caught up in the maelstrom of power struggles, and will be able to relax a lot. And power is something that should be handled more appropriately by men. What do you think, Princess?"
He looked at Lin Zhaoyue, observing her expression and response.
"In this way, if you help him become emperor, you can preserve your relationship as husband and wife while enjoying the honor and glory. This is also the most beneficial option for Xiling and Daxia."
After he finished speaking, Lin Zhaoyue didn't say anything for a long time, but just casually fiddled with the Dankou on her fingertips.
But the invisible aura of the superior made Lu Shi's mind a little confused, and his expression was difficult to read. Instead, he was not as calm and composed as her.
That was why he had no idea what Lin Zhaoyue was thinking at this moment.
After a long while, she spoke coldly, "Is this the cooperation that the Marquis mentioned?"
Lu Shi frowned slightly.
Before Lin Zhaoyue could say anything, the subtitles had already started cursing for her.
"What are you talking about? The princess gets whatever she wants. Why would you pretend to give her charity?"
[It's hard to imagine how much shit is in your head to say such stinky words]
[No wonder the Queen Mother didn't choose you. Do you really think a man's gold-inlaid pendant is so precious?]
[The Qing Dynasty died early, but you are still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period! ]
[It is recommended to look at the urinal to see if it fits you! ]
[This is so funny, shouldn't the Empress be the Empress?]
[My face is as big as a basin, and I feel powerless to slap it]
[Old Biden, die for me! ! ]
Lin Zhaoyue sneered and spoke with a playful tone.
"Does the Marquis think that I have reached this position today just to support my husband and raise children in the future?"
Lu Shi's expression also turned somewhat ugly.
"You're trying to win big with a small investment. You're using your beggarly, sporadic benefits to try to buy the Great Xia Empire from me... Your Majesty, you're truly shameless. Even the Lord of Hell has heard your plan," Lin Zhaoyue sarcastically said. "It seems that over the years, Your Majesty has not only grown older, but also become more shameless. You're so thick-skinned that I'm shocked."
She flicked her sleeves lightly, her tone cold, her eyes sharp, "Or do you think I'm easy to control? Do you want me to let my father pass the throne directly to your son, Lord Lu?"
Her tone suddenly changed, and her words were even harsher. "Oh no, old man. Have you not yet recognized your and your son's identities? You, such a traitor, dare to speak nonsense in front of me. If you don't have a mirror at home, you must pee, right? Before you come and speak nonsense in front of me, why don't you first look at yourself and see what kind of person you are!?"
She almost laughed out loud, but her cold voice shook her heart. "As expected of a father and son, even the combined walls of Xiling wouldn't be as thick-skinned as you two. You want me to be your stepping stone... are you worthy?"
Lu Shi's heart suddenly trembled, and his already ugly face became even darker. "You are so stubborn, haven't you thought about the consequences?!"
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "Given your shameful appearance, it's ridiculous that my mother would even fall for you."
This sentence successfully broke down Lu Shi's psychological defenses.
The speech that he had prepared was completely disrupted by Lin Zhaoyue.
At this moment, I couldn't even say the words to confront her.
His eyes turned red with anger, and he glared at Lin Zhaoyue with a cold expression.
But it seemed that in the end he took into consideration that Lin Zhaoyue was his junior after all and her mother was his beloved, and he gradually calmed down.
