Chapter 264: The whole court eavesdropped on the inner thoughts
"Heartbeat?" Lu Chaochao murmured in a low voice.
She tilted her head in confusion and looked at Xie Chengxi puzzledly: "Hey, it really beats, it beats into my heart..."
"It's fun, very fun..." Lu Chaochao narrowed his eyes in surprise.
"It belongs to you."
"It is... returned to its original owner." A brief return of the property to its original owner.
"We must return before dawn." The world cannot leave Bei Zhao's heart for the time being.
The prince carried her out of the nine-story pagoda. Lu Chaochao patted her chest curiously: "Boom, boom, boom... It seems like thunder in my heart."
"Brother Prince, it seems like thunder is roaring..."
"Huh..." The little guy yawned with red eyes.
His head was dizzy and he leaned weakly on Xie Chengxi's shoulder: "Mom... I miss mom..." He muttered to himself with a half-asleep look in his eyes.
"I'll take you back to find her."
When the prince arrived in front of the palace, the Sixth Prince and Xie Yuzhou were hanging their heads and did not dare to go in.
"Brother Crown Prince..." The Sixth Prince looked at Lu Chaochao worriedly.
He glanced inside the hall. At this moment, all the ministers were furious, and Lu Yanshu was standing alone opposite all the officials.
"Although Lu Yanshu passed the imperial examination with the highest honors, he is still young and not qualified enough to be the prince's personal tutor..."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Filial piety is more important than anything else. Lu Yanshu is the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but now he has divorced his mother and ignored the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Your Majesty, how can he be the prince's teacher if he only has talent but a bad character?" Lord Wang said.
The eldest princess couldn't hold back her anger and wanted to speak.
But he was stopped by his husband, Lord Chen: "You can't interfere in politics. If you speak, they will be more afraid of you."
The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that his face turned purple: "What you said is really interesting. Zhongyong's concubine's son is the same age as the eldest son. He is a concubine's son, and he himself crossed his children out of the family tree and wrote a letter of severance. What does this have to do with Lu Yanshu?"
"Lu Yuanze has already kicked him out of the house and cut off all ties with him. How can this be considered unfilial?"
"Lu Yuanze deserves what happened to him. It's retribution!" The Duke of Zhenguo was furious. I have been looking forward to having a daughter-in-law for many years, and you are opposing her! !
He wished he could chop them all into pieces.
Lord Wang's face was serious: "Father is still father after all. Even if he made mistakes, he is still my father!"
"Xu can divorce, but Lu Yanshu cannot be ignored. Lord Lu gave him life, how can a piece of paper take away his blood relationship?"
"This is unfilial!"
"He is unfilial and unfraternal, so he cannot be the prince's teacher!"
"You bastard, don't think I don't know what you are thinking!!" The Duke of Zhenguo was furious on the spot.
"It's nothing more than seeing that my Rong family has made outstanding military achievements and Yan Shu has won the top three places in the imperial examination. If I become the prince's teacher, will I block your way in the future?"
"Stop putting the blame on Yanshu, he is a good boy!" The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that his eyes turned red. The white-haired old man had long been indifferent to worldly affairs, but today he was furious.
Rong Che took a deep breath and stood up.
He strode to the front of the hall, bent his knees and knelt deeply on the ground.
"Your Majesty, my marriage has nothing to do with the court officials or Beizhao. It is my private matter!" He glanced at the ministers, and they all turned their eyes away and did not look at him.
“If you gentlemen are afraid of the Rong family, I, your humble servant…” Rong Che took a deep breath.
"I am willing to resign."
"Your Majesty, please grant my permission."
When Rong Che said this, everyone in the room was shocked and everyone looked at him in a daze.
Xu knocked over the teacup at hand.
Tears fell down.
She clenched her fists tightly, stared at Rong Che, and kept shaking her head at him.
The old lady of the Rong family held her hand and gently pried open her fingers. Seeing that her nails had pinched her palm to bleed, she frowned in pain.
Take out a clean handkerchief and wrap it for her.
"It's not worth it, not worth it, it's really not worth it." Xu murmured in a low voice. She had never thought that Rong Che would give up his military achievements.
That was the official position he earned by fighting on the battlefield for many years and at the cost of his life.
She had been married to Lu Yuanze for many years, but Lu Yuanze had never returned her such love.
"It's worth it, why not? As long as Che'er is willing, everything is worth it. Don't worry..." The old lady patted Xu's hand, her brows full of kindness.
"Nonsense!" The emperor was so angry that his head hurt.
What should have been a great birthday banquet turned out to be such a stalemate.
"The Southern Kingdom is eyeing you covetously, and the border of Dongling is in turmoil. You are the God of War of Beizhao, and you cannot resign!" The emperor refused without any hesitation.
"Sir Rong, love between young people is a small love. The country is the great love." Sir Wang could not help but advise.
"Don't tell me that family is unimportant. How come you don't have no descendants?!" The Duke of Zhenguo shouted angrily.
Lord Wang's face turned dark.
Rong Che knelt straight on the ground with a determined look in his eyes.
He is serious.
"Rong Che lived for Beizhao in the first half of his life. Wherever there was war, there was Rong Che. But now, Rong Che wants to live for himself. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish..." If he had not been in a hurry to go to the battlefield back then, Yunniang would not have married Lu Yuanze!
He had already missed her once, and he couldn't miss Yunniang a second time.
Mrs. Xu was already in tears, with big tears falling down her cheeks.
"Don't cry, if a man can't even protect the woman he loves, what kind of man is he!"
"It would be better to have him castrated and become a eunuch. If he doesn't have the courage, I would look down on him." The old lady was open-minded and advised Yunniang instead.
"But, in the future you can't despise him for only being the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo." Prince is just a title, but the general who guards the country holds great power.
Mrs. Xu kept crying, and Rong Che felt heartbroken when he saw it.
Lu Chaochao only felt a noisy sound in her ears, which was extremely uncomfortable.
She covered her ears with her hands and her little face was twisted into a ball.
[Stop arguing!] Stop arguing! ! It’s so noisy that I can’t sleep! 】Lu Chaochao’s mind was screaming.
Suddenly...
The court officials were silent.
Rong Che widened his eyes slightly and touched his ears in confusion.
Was he hallucinating because he was angry?
The emperor's eyes narrowed and his brows frowned. What happened? He seemed to hear Chao Chao's milk roar.
But morning...
Lying on the prince's shoulder, she lazily didn't even open her mouth!
The emperor opened his mouth, feeling...
I have a bad feeling.
"Did you hear any sound?" the Queen Mother asked the Queen in a low voice.
[Noise, noise, noise, what is there to be noisy about!] I’m so annoyed, so annoyed…】
All the civil and military officials swallowed their saliva. Why did they hear Princess Zhaoyang's voice? ?
The prince was slightly startled when he saw everyone's stern expressions.
Then his face changed drastically! !
He had long discovered that there was a drawback to Chao Chao's reincarnation this time! !
Those who are related to her by blood or have a deep bond with her can hear her voice.
Fortunately, only her family and part of the Xu family could hear it.
Now, she is Princess Zhaoyang, and has been recorded in the imperial edict by her father, making her a real princess.
At this moment, the heart returns to its place...
The prince glanced at his father, then at the confused civil and military officials, and his eyes went dark...
Won't……
Did you hear what she was saying? ? ? ?
