Chapter 1971 Unable to Stay
Qian Dingxing nodded. "Yes, I can see it."
It smells of flour.
"Oh, she's not human, right?" Qian Dingxing suddenly realized.
Zheng Ying: Waaah! At least the clay figurine has the character for "person" in it, but now you're saying she's not human! You could just call her a ghost. "Not human" sounds like an insult.
“Her name is Zheng Ying,” Rong Jingjing said.
"Please forgive me, Miss Zheng." Qian Dingxing bowed to Zheng Ying and apologized.
"No, it's okay."
Zheng Ying was actually quite curious about him.
It looks like a living person.
But she didn't show herself, yet he could see her, and even see that she was made of dough.
Although it's not clear and I couldn't tell that only half of it was flour, it's still quite impressive.
"Xiao Liu, arrange a room for Young Master Qian Ding," Rong Jingjing said to Ma Xiao Liu.
"Yes."
Qian Dingxing was thus settled in Huaiyuan.
At the Prince's Mansion.
After watching over Lu Zhaoling for a while, Sheng San Niangzi was relieved to see that her breathing was gradually stabilizing.
"Your Highness, I'm going out to talk to Xiaohan. Just call me if you need anything."
"Go."
Zhou Shiyue has also calmed down.
The Emperor Emeritus had been guarding this place the whole time. When he came in earlier, he saw that Zhou Shiyue looked somewhat somber, but now he saw that he had recovered. He asked him about it, but Zhou Shiyue didn't say anything.
“Ah Yue,” he said, standing to the side, “why don’t you go have dinner? I’ll stay here and watch over Master Ling. You can come back after you’ve finished eating.”
He knew it was impossible to persuade Zhou Shiyue to leave, but she still needed to eat.
He's still injured; how can he not eat properly?
“I’ve already asked Qingfeng to bring the food over,” Zhou Shiyue said. “I’ll eat here.”
"That's fine too." The Emperor Emeritus sighed.
He sat down on a chair and looked at Lu Zhaoling.
"No one expected that even someone as powerful as Master Ling would suffer a backlash."
Zhou Shiyue remained silent.
He also wanted to say that after such a long period of investigation, they all guessed that Lu Zhaoling's father had a higher cultivation level and was more powerful, but he encountered great trouble and even had to send his daughter to the First Profound Sect for foster care. How could Lu Zhaoling not be injured?
She still has a major tribulation ahead of her.
When he saw her vomit blood and collapse, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest; he was almost scared to death.
For a moment, he thought her greatest calamity was about to befall her.
Although she is now out of danger, he truly experienced the fear of thinking something bad was going to happen to her.
He still has some discomfort in his heart.
He was genuinely worried.
Moreover, if she wants to investigate his past again in the future, will she get hurt again?
What if we investigate her father?
If her father and Yama are the same person, how powerful must that person be?
Yan Jun and Lu Ming are people that Lu Xiao'er absolutely cannot ignore, which means that she will be facing much stronger opponents than before.
With this in mind, Zhou Shiyue couldn't relax no matter what.
"Father, are you alright?" He put these matters aside for the moment and looked at the Supreme Emperor.
Actually, my father is already dead, so there is no longer such a title as the Supreme Emperor. But since he has become a ghost, everyone can still see him.
"What could be wrong with me?" The Emperor Emeritus shook his head. "I'm fine. I even went to the palace to see your brother and Aze."
The retired emperor sighed.
"I never expected that so many things would happen in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty in such a short time while I was recuperating."
"Are you unhappy? Don't want to see me help Aze ascend the throne? Do you think I've been too cruel to my brother?" Zhou Shiyue asked calmly.
The retired emperor glared at him.
"Do you really think I'm that old-fashioned and conservative?"
Is not it?
The Emperor Emeritus sighed and said, "If this had happened before, I would have been somewhat resentful towards you. After all, they are father and son. It is definitely not what I wanted to see when father and son fought for the throne and things turned out like this."
"But after this experience, I've come to understand that your elder brother is indeed no longer suitable to sit on the throne."
"Besides, do you think I don't feel sorry for you?" The Emperor Emeritus patted his chest lightly. "Your brother actually thought of killing you! How could I possibly let him sit in that position?"
Actually, he had thought about it while he was recovering. He thought that once he was better, he would just send that bastard a nightmare and scare him to death. That way, he could take him away with him.
To avenge A Yue.
At the same time, he also handed over the throne to Aze.
He never expected that when he returned, the throne would have already been taken by someone else.
This also made him realize that A Yue had never intended to take action before; if he had wanted to, the throne could have been changed overnight.
So, A-Yue had really been giving in to his elder brother all along.
Now the Emperor Emeritus thinks, "From now on, I will leave these matters to you and Aze, and I will definitely not say anything more."
"I'm too old to concern myself with these things anymore."
Zhou Shiyue casually replied, "No, you're not old."
"You are dead."
The retired emperor almost jumped up.
"I'm going out!"
He originally wanted to stay with Master Ling and keep him company, but now he simply couldn't stay any longer.
Qingfeng brought in dinner.
"Your Highness, would you like to eat over here?"
"But bring it over here."
Qingfeng hadn't expected that the prince would eat while sitting on the bed.
He put the tray down.
Zhou Shiyue then told him to go outside and stand guard.
After Qingfeng left, Zhou Shiyue held Lu Zhaoling's hand in one hand and ate with the other.
He didn't want to let go for even a moment.
Although he knew that such a short time difference was insignificant, he felt that this would allow Lu Zhaoling to accumulate more merit.
Actually, he realized it himself.
The things Weng Songzhi said before had some influence on him.
But Zhou Shiyue's mind was also quick; he soon came up with all the merits he had accumulated.
Although he didn't understand as clearly as the people in the Xuanmen sect what such merit represented, Lu Zhaoling needed it, and she could use it.
At least there will be some kind of outcome, and he can use all his merits to atone for his sins.
So, he felt relieved.
In any case, nothing can make him let go of Lu Zhaoling.
Once he understood this, he calmed down.
He ate quickly, though he couldn't really eat much; he just ate a little to get by.
"Qingfeng".
He called Qingfeng in to tidy up.
Just as Qingfeng took the tray away, Zhou Shiyue suddenly felt a slight itch in his palm.
He suddenly looked down at Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling slowly opened her eyes.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has woken up!" Qingfeng saw it too and exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah Ling!"
Zhou Shiyue immediately reached out and touched Lu Zhaoling's face. "You're awake? Can you hear me?"
