Chapter 900: Fighting in front of the palace
Lu Yanshu returned home and had not even had a sip of water when he was summoned back to the palace by the eunuch who served the new emperor.
The eunuch was sweating profusely and said, "Master Lu, please follow me into the palace as soon as possible."
"Prince Dong Ling entered the palace late at night and asked to marry the adopted daughter of the Rong family with the title of the double queen. He is now in the palace asking Your Majesty to grant him the marriage."
"You also know that His Majesty wants all nations to live in peace and fight against the above together."
"I've been waiting for Dong Ling to give in."
A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Yanshu's eyes. He suppressed his anger and turned to his mother and said, "Mom, go back and accompany your sister. I'll go to the palace."
"Don't tell your sister about this, lest you pollute her ears."
Lu Zhengyue frowned: "Brother, I will go with you. Mom, don't worry."
Lu Zhengyue felt heavy in his heart and hurried to catch up.
The new emperor, Xie Chengxi, had cold eyes and a handsome face, but his temperament was extremely cold. It seemed that all his privileges were given to Chao Chao, who was offered as a sacrifice.
Although he was still young, the court officials were extremely respectful of him.
The majesty of the late emperor is not enough to compare with his.
But it is also possible that he was once Chao Chao's disciple and a supreme god, and his aura was enough to overwhelm everyone.
The gods are eyeing the human world covetously, and all the countries need to gather together to overcome the difficulties.
The Lu family has always been in power in the South Country, and they have no ulterior motives.
Xiyue and Fan Kingdom also firmly followed Beizhao and resisted together.
Only Dong Ling stayed out of the matter. It seemed that he didn't care whether the world was destroyed or whether mortals would perish.
King Dong Ling is a complete lunatic.
Lu Yanshu was very calm and didn't say a word the whole time. He walked in front, and Lu Zhengyue walked behind, unconsciously slowing down his pace.
For some reason, he is becoming more and more afraid of his elder brother.
It was strange. He was obviously an elder brother who grew up with him, but now he had an inexplicable sense of awe and strangeness towards him.
After entering the palace, the eunuch hurriedly led the two to the meeting hall.
The lights in the meeting hall were brightly on, and the palace servants outside the hall were solemn and cautious, not daring to make a sound.
King Dong Ling's slightly ostentatious voice could be heard faintly: "If Your Majesty grants the adopted daughter of the Rong family to Dong Ling as the queen, from now on, I, Dong Ling, am willing to be subordinate to Bei Zhao. Your Majesty wants the four kingdoms to unify and fight against the God Realm. I, Dong Ling, have no objection!"
"Also, to show my sincerity, I am willing to cede ten cities as a betrothal gift and never invade the border of Beizhao! Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"I have already inquired about it. The Rong family has only known each other for a short time and they don't have much affection for each other. Isn't it worth it to give her ten cities as a betrothal gift and make her the Queen of Dongling?"
"She has no blood relationship with the Rong and Lu families. I don't think the Rong family will object."
"Trading a woman for many benefits, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
King Dong Ling looked at the new Emperor Bei Zhao and was distracted for a moment.
A bit of bitterness rose in my heart again.
Xie Chengxi, Chongyue, hahahaha, he is so stupid, he is really stupid.
He was born in Dongling, but fate sent him to Beizhao as a hostage. He blamed everyone and everyone, resenting the injustice of God, but he never realized that God had already sent him to the place he expected.
Chong Yue accompanied Lu Chaochao in her reincarnations and protected her time and time again, but she never recognized him or Chaochao.
Whenever he thought of offering sacrifice again, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Obviously, fate had brought her to his side, but he was pushed away.
This time, whether she is or not, he will not give up again.
He was betting that Xie Chengxi had never met the Rong family's new adopted daughter.
Xie Chengxi sat high on the dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed at this moment, his handsome face looked like a god descending. Although he looks handsome, he gives people a sense of coldness, making people intimidated and afraid to approach him.
Lu Yanshu couldn't even wait to report and kicked open the door of the palace.
He pounced on him and started fighting with King Dongling.
The man who held great power and was usually calm and self-possessed was so angry that his eyes turned red: "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask to marry my girl! Even if she is my adopted daughter, I will not allow you to be so presumptuous!"
"How dare you have two queens!!"
"When Bai Hehua married you, she was a beautiful young lady. Now you have tortured her to the point where she is no longer human. Do you feel guilty? How dare you ask for my hand in marriage?"
"Get out of here! Miss Bei Zhao won't marry! No matter if she is my sister or not, I won't marry her!"
"I, Bei Zhao, am not even close to selling my daughter for fame!"
Although Lu Yanshu is a civil official, he has practiced martial arts for many years and is not at all inferior to the wolf-like Xuan Jichuan.
A hint of cruelty flashed across Xuan Jichuan's eyes, and the two of them started fighting each other in public.
The new emperor Xie Chengxi was stunned for a moment. In his eyes, Lu Yanshu was steady and mature, and an extremely reliable person. At this moment, he was as impulsive and irritable as a teenager.
Xie Chengxi ordered his men to separate the two men, both of whom were injured.
King Dong Ling did not pursue the matter, but simply bowed to the new emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you and I are both kings, so I think we will weigh the pros and cons."
"I only sincerely ask to marry the queen, and I hope your majesty will give me an answer as soon as possible."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Yanshu coldly and sneered, "Master Lu, I owe your Lu family a favor, and I will pay it back with these few punches."
"If there is a next time, I, Dong Ling, will never let you off easily!" If Xuan Jichuan hadn't been concerned about marrying his daughter, he would never have given up with his personality.
Lu Yanshu knelt in the hall with a livid face.
His back was straight and his thick eyebrows were slightly stern.
"I am guilty, Your Majesty, please punish me severely. But my sister will never marry Dong Ling!" Lu Yanshu faced the new emperor's gaze without fear.
The palace maid in front of the new emperor was shaking her head at him.
He grew up serving Xie Chengxi, so he naturally understood that the new emperor was not in a good mood at the moment.
Beating Emperor Dongling in public could provoke a fight between the two countries at any time.
Once the other party pursues the matter, Bei Zhao will no longer be able to stand his ground.
"My dear Lord Lu, you disappoint me greatly." Xie Chengxi rubbed his brows gently, revealing a bit of fatigue.
"It is urgent for all countries to unite, but Dong Ling is the only troublemaker. Now that he has finally given in, do you know how big a change will happen if you act so impulsively?"
"You are already a senior official in the court, and you are deeply trusted by the late emperor, so he entrusted you with the important tasks of the court. Why are you so impatient?"
"The adopted daughter of the Rong family, if he wants her, just give her to him."
"Why are you doing this?"
"You disappoint me so much!!"
"Your calmness has been eaten by a dog!!" Xie Chengxi was very angry. For Dong Ling, he had been struggling for several years.
"Can't you calm down? Use your brain before doing anything. You actually beat up Emperor Dong Ling in front of the palace. Do you still want to keep your head?!"
Xie Chengxi couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Lu Zhengyue was outside the palace gate and wanted to go in to plead for mercy, but was stopped by the servants.
"Master Xiao Lu, please don't add fuel to the fire."
Lu Yanshu knelt on the ground, frowned and remained silent for a long time before he stood up.
"I have something to say to your majesty."
The emperor saw that he did not seem to be pretending and that his expression was solemn, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
