Chapter 1886 I will not forgive him
"Your Highness, is dinner ready?" The maidservant asked as soon as she saw Lu Zhaoling return.
They thought it was wonderful that the prince was getting married; now there was a mistress in the prince's mansion.
Unlike before, when the prince would go straight to his study after returning home, they wouldn't dare to go over there. They would have to ask Qinglin and Qingfeng when dinner would be served, and then wait for them to ask the prince before replying.
Sometimes, after asking the prince, he would change his mind, and they could only take the food back to warm it up.
Some of them wouldn't taste good if kept warm, and the prince frowned after taking a few bites.
This is really putting them in a difficult position.
Things were much better when the princess arrived. Whenever the princess called the prince to have a meal, the prince would immediately put aside any matter, no matter how important.
Moreover, as long as the princess is in the mansion, even if the prince himself is not hungry, he will think about mealtime and that the princess must be hungry.
So things are much easier and less troublesome for them in the kitchen now.
Lu Zhaoling had come back to dine with Zhou Shiyue. His injuries hadn't fully healed yet. He had gone to the Prime Minister's residence with Lu Anfan the day before yesterday, insisting on putting on airs, and then lay down again after returning.
She's not home today; I guess Zhou Shiyue is busy with something again.
“Get ready, we’ll eat in the backyard,” she said.
"Yes."
Lu Zhaoling walked towards the study, but Qinglin hurriedly called out to her, "Your Highness, the Prince is not in the study; he is resting in his room."
"Really? You've been resting all day?" Lu Zhaoling raised an eyebrow. She didn't believe it at all.
"Well, it was only Lord Qin who came, so the Prince went to the study to chat with him for a while." Qinglin said, his eyes darting around.
This is clearly telling Lu Zhaoling that he is lying.
But the prince wouldn't let him tell the truth, so he had no choice but to say what the prince ordered.
However, how one expresses oneself through their eyes is none of the prince's business.
Lu Zhaoling was both amused and exasperated by his reaction.
"Alright, you all go and have your meal first." Lu Zhaoling waved her hand.
She turned and went back to the backyard.
Zhou Shiyue was indeed reclining on the couch, putting on a convincing act.
"Ah Ling is back?"
Upon seeing Lu Zhaoling, Zhou Shiyue's eyes lit up, and he waved to her, "Come and sit for a while."
"Why are you sitting? Get up and prepare your meal."
Despite saying that, Lu Zhaoling still walked over and sat down next to him.
As soon as she sat down, she automatically found a good angle to snuggle into his arms, avoiding his injury.
Zhou Shiyue had just raised his hand, ready to pull her into his arms.
"Has Ah Ling already anticipated my moves?" He put his arm around her shoulder and chuckled softly.
Otherwise, why would they be so proactive?
"You were so reckless, you ended up hurting yourself!" Lu Zhaoling leaned against him, listening to his steady heartbeat, and felt peaceful and happy.
After experiencing his brush with death, she truly felt that simply leaning against him and listening to his heartbeat was already a source of happiness.
Everything else can wait. Whether it's political turmoil or the emergence of evil cultivators, as long as they're together, they can face it all together.
Zhou Shiyue also felt very happy.
Although Lu Zhaoling and Yin Yunting had never told him what the golden light of merit on his body was all about, he knew that he also had a secret.
This is something that Yin Yunting and Lu Zhaoling haven't figured out yet. Although he himself has some idea about it, he doesn't know what to say at the moment.
This was a rare moment of peace for them.
"What brings Lord Qin to see you today?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
Zhou Shiyue held her close and said softly, "Lord Qin is worried that after Zhou Ze becomes emperor, he will abandon the Qin family and hurt Miss Qin's feelings. The Qin family is not very ambitious and has never thought about fighting for power before, but this time, for Miss Qin's happiness, the whole clan is doing their best to help Zhou Ze."
He actually understood the Qin family's thoughts and actions.
Although he didn't particularly crave power, he still wanted his daughter to marry well.
If Qin Yuerong wasn't in love with the Crown Prince, they naturally wouldn't want her to enter the palace. What kind of place is the harem for pursuing happiness?
Unfortunately, Qin Yuerong was destined to be a phoenix, destined to enter the palace and become empress. So they could only accept their fate and try their best to succeed.
"Lord Qin is a good father."
After hearing his words, Lu Zhaoling added, "However, he doesn't need to worry about that. After all, I have already seen Miss Qin's destiny, and she will indeed become the Empress."
"So, in other words, Aze will also ascend the throne," Zhou Shiyue stated another conclusion.
"Yes, that's how it is if there are no surprises." Lu Zhaoling nodded.
This is why, despite the recent turmoil in the capital, she wasn't particularly concerned or worried.
Finally, Zhou will ascend the throne as emperor.
What she was more worried about was Zhou Shiyue, and also her own tribulation.
Of course, she also wanted to find King Yama and her father.
"Alright, get up and eat. You can have something delicious to eat today, aren't you happy?"
Zhou Shiyue chuckled softly.
It's like coaxing a child.
He's not the kind of person who would actually make a scene over food.
The maids brought over the food, and Lu Zhaoling took Zhou Shiyue's arm and led him to the dining table, helping him to sit down.
"You may all leave now. There's no need to serve the food. You can clean up later." Lu Zhaoling told them to leave.
"Yes."
A meal consisting of five dishes and a soup.
Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue ate together.
Each serving is not very large, but it looks exquisite and has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
The two of them didn't follow the rule of not talking while eating; they chatted as they ate.
Zhou Shiyue liked this very much.
"Father..."
He had not seen the retired emperor since he woke up.
"I asked my junior brother today, and he said the Emperor Emeritus will be fine and should be out in the next couple of days."
"That's good." Zhou Shiyue sighed and said, "He was probably traumatized that day."
"Did you get provoked? Because the Emperor wanted Master Yu to kill you?" Lu Zhaoling was still angry when she brought this up.
"Anyway, I've already said it here," she said angrily, "Even if the Emperor Emeritus still wants you to remember our brotherhood and not hold a grudge against the Emperor, I will not forgive him."
“I told my master that we agreed to enter the palace to save the emperor, but that was only for the sake of the crown prince and the bigger picture, not because we really wanted to save him.”
Lu Zhaoling snorted and said, "If I weren't unable to fight, I would have blasted him into a roasted black pig with a talisman."
Zhou Shiyue couldn't help but laugh when he saw how angry she was.
"Yes, yes, I know you're upset because you feel sorry for me. I won't forgive him either; we're only doing this for Zhou Ze's sake."
Zhou Shiyue felt a warmth in his heart that someone was doing this for him without trying to persuade him or worry about loyalty.
