Lin Ru never expected that this person would still remember to cover up for his master!
That's quite interesting!
"Since your master is not feeling well, let him go back first."
“Since you have something to discuss, there’s no difference between you coming in and talking to me.”
"After all, you should know that your master looks down on a peasant girl like me!"
"There is no need for me, a farmer's daughter, to tarnish his lofty status!"
Looking at the unconscious Prince Kang behind him, Lu Ci knew that even if he let Prince Kang in now, it would only make him look even more humiliated!
It would be better if he went in first, said some nice things to the goddess, and increased the goddess's favor towards King Kang!
This will be more helpful for things to come!
So he ordered the guards beside him to take the Kangwang Mansion away, and he went in to discuss matters with the goddess!
But as soon as he went in, he was stunned by the scene in front of him!
This is no peasant's daughter! She's practically a fairy from a painting, a reflection of the moon in the water!
Her entire demeanor exuded an aura as if she were a celestial maiden from the heavens!
And that breathtakingly beautiful face, it's like a dream, the woman in front of me seems to be from another world!
Especially those eyes, they seem to see right through his every little thought!
He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at her!
Lin Ru looked at Lu Ci's performance with satisfaction. All those days and nights of cultivation had been worthwhile! Although he had only recovered one ten-thousandth of his former self's strength, it was enough!
She looked down at the old man below her from her elevated position!
"Speak! What brings you here this time? Don't give me any of that nonsense!"
Lu Ci had already planned how to gradually steer the conversation toward helping them resist the Marquis of Zhenbei!
But when he met the goddess and heard her say that, he had no choice but to get straight to the point!
"Goddess, to be honest, Changzhou is now at a critical juncture of life and death."
"I hope the goddess can come to my rescue."
Lin Ru sneered, "What can I possibly save? I can't even beat all of you. What can I possibly save? Otherwise, would I have been captured by you?"
"And I'm just a peasant girl!"
"And even if I had the ability, why would I save you?"
"Is it because Prince Kang hasn't given me any food for so many days, or because he's imprisoned me in this remote courtyard?!"
"Or perhaps they'll insult me like they did just now."
Didn't you think before you spoke?
"If it weren't for the fact that my men are somewhat capable, they would probably have starved to death by now!"
"Now you've come begging to me! Tell me, on what grounds do you think you deserve this?"
Lu Ci's face turned bright red from those words, and he lowered his head even further!
"Well, the Goddess has the world in her heart, so naturally she wouldn't abandon the lives of these people in Changzhou!"
"You should also know that when two armies clash, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most!"
"Natural and man-made disasters are occurring frequently these days!"
"If you step forward and tell the world that you voluntarily stayed in Changzhou, we can temporarily resolve our current predicament!"
"Once this predicament is resolved, I guarantee that when Prince Kang unifies the world, you will be the most honored woman in the palace!"
Lin Ru was somewhat disappointed when she heard him say such things! She had initially thought that this person was quite capable, and according to Wu Juan's recent inquiries, he was a rather upright and considerate person!
Don't even think about giving him a chance. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I might as well have just killed him! That would have saved me a lot of trouble!
But lately she feels her emotions are becoming increasingly out of control. If she continues killing like this, she fears she will only become a killing machine in the future!
She let out a long sigh!
"As expected, no matter how powerful a character is, there's only one arrangement for women: to bring them into the harem!"
"I feel this is an immense blessing for women!"
Did you even ask me if I was willing?
"You think that letting me marry Prince Kang is the greatest gratitude you can give me?"
"That's an interesting point of view."
"Go ahead! I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking."
After saying that, Xiaoyue very tactfully walked slowly in front of Lu Ci, and then used its big paw to slap him hard, sending him flying!
Xiaoyue moved incredibly fast. Before Lu Ci could react, he felt dizzy and disoriented. He quickly channeled his inner energy to try and regain his balance, preventing himself from falling too badly.
He didn't quite understand why the goddess was so angry.
In his view, for a woman as beautiful as a goddess to become the most honored woman in the harem was already the greatest honor for her!
Even if King Kang was indeed a bit slow-witted, who knows if the goddess might give birth to a child who could become the next king!
Moreover, he couldn't think of any other conditions. He watched as the goddess's door was about to close, clutching his chest and trying to suppress the urge to vomit blood!
He took a few steps forward!
It blocked the door from closing!
"Goddess!? What did I say wrong? Please enlighten me!"
"Are you not satisfied with this?"
"Or just tell me what you want."
"I, Lu Ci, will fight to the death to help you achieve this!"
"I only beg you to save the people of Changzhou."
"Even if you are no longer in Changzhou, the people are innocent!"
Lin Ru looked at him with utter disdain. "Do you really want to save the people? Or are you just trying to fulfill your own grand ideals?"
"Since you want to assist a wise ruler, why sacrifice a woman like me?"
"You must know what kind of person Prince Kang is, right?"
"He's a coward, but he always thinks he's something special!"
"And he's not exactly smart either!"
"Can such a person really become a wise ruler? Or do you really believe that you can assist such a person in unifying the world?"
"If you were asked to marry your daughter to someone like that, would you be willing?"
Lu Ci was at a loss for words and hesitated.
Lin Ru sneered: "See! You're not willing!"
"Why do you think that among these princes, only Prince Kang has the smallest territory and the weakest military force?"
"King Kang's birth mother was none other than the Imperial Noble Consort, second only to the Empress!"
"And he is especially favored by the Emperor! If this Prince Kang really has no problems, how could he be allocated such a small piece of land? And so close to the Emperor."
"You've probably noticed it lately, but ever since his mother's trusted confidants started dying one after another, his mind has become like a child's!"
