Lu Yanzheng said, "I will not touch Emperor Jingqing's head, but whether you can take revenge yourself is not something I can control."
If Xiao Rui hadn't appeared, he would naturally have tacitly allowed Qin Shen to kill Emperor Jingqing. But Xiao Rui is currently in the army, and Emperor Jingqing is, after all, his father. If Qin Shen were to kill Emperor Jingqing, Xiao Rui might try to stop him.
"Why does Your Highness say that?" Qin Shen's eyes widened, and his fists clenched suddenly.
Lu Yanzheng pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Xiao Rui is not dead."
"What?" Qin Shen was stunned. "He's not dead?"
That's not right. He clearly remembered that Xiao Rui was completely dead. How could he not be dead?
Lu Yanzheng explained the An brothers' situation in detail, "No matter what, I owe him a huge favor. If he wants to save Emperor Jingqing's life, I can't refuse."
This is also the main reason why he kept Qin Shen here at this time; he had to make things clear to him.
Qin Shen was well aware of Xiao Rui's help to Lu Yanzheng and the entire Northwest Army. Upon hearing this, he pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a long time.
Actually, the prince was wrong. It's not just that he owes Xiao Rui a huge favor. If the prince could successfully seize the throne, then the people of the world would also owe him a thank you. If it weren't for Xiao Rui's concession, many more people would have suffered.

Lu Yanzheng sighed inwardly and patted his shoulder, saying, "It's good that you've come to your senses."
Qin Shen pursed his lips, cupped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.
Just then, a messenger came to report, "Your Highness, the imperial court has sent peace envoys. Also, a letter has been delivered to Dingshui Village."
Lu Yanzheng was not interested in the court's actions, but upon hearing that a letter had been sent from Dingshui Village, he immediately said, "Bring the letter in."
A moment later, Qin Shen, who hadn't even left yet, was grabbed and shaken by Lu Yanzheng, "Qinqin is pregnant, I'm going to be a father!"
