Chapter 1867 They were all terrified
This time, Zhou Shiyue almost died.
Although Lu Zhaoling now thinks that he is not someone who dies easily, and that his merits are not so easily dissipated, Zhou Shiyue did indeed make a life-or-death journey.
He'd been fine even after she'd stolen so much of his merit before, but this time...
Thinking of this, Lu Zhaoling's eyes reddened again.
Seeing her like this, and hearing the slight tremor in her voice, Zhou Shiyue felt heartbroken.
"Did I scare you?" he asked.
"Am I that easily scared?" Lu Zhaoling said. "At most, I'll start rethinking my future..."
"Hmm, like, for example, remarrying and having a bunch of kids with someone else?" Zhou Shiyue asked rhetorically.
Lu Zhaoling's eyes widened.
No, you really heard it?
And did he really remember those words?
"Zhou Shiyue, you didn't actually wake up after hearing me say those things, did you?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Shiyue held her hand. "I won't give you that kind of chance."
Lu Zhaoling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
“My master said that you might be able to hear what I was saying, so I said those things on purpose to provoke you.”
“I know,” Zhou Shiyue said. “I think you won’t find a husband as handsome as me. After you have me, you won’t be interested in any other men.”
Before Lu Zhaoling could call him arrogant, Zhou Shiyue continued, "But I really wouldn't bear to let you experience the pain of losing me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Even in the next life.
"Me too, I don't want to lose you either, so you have to take good care of yourself. Even if I'm in danger, your first priority should still be your own safety. If you're okay, I'll be okay too, and I'll do my best to protect my own life."
They both need to protect themselves for each other's sake.
Lu Zhaoling felt a slight tingling in her nose.
Hearing his words, she bit her lower lip, looked at him, and asked, "So, did you really protect yourself this time? I clearly told you that you would wait for me to come back, so why did you fight with that Master Yu?"
"Wasn't that an accident?"
Zhou Shiyue's memory of what happened in the palace that day is still a bit hazy.
However, since Lu Zhaoling brought it up, he asked about what happened after that day, and also, "Where are Master Yu and his junior sister?"
Lu Zhaoling said, "We've caught them. Don't worry, we won't let them get away."
The two disciples, Master Yu and his sister, have harmed Zhou Shiyue to this extent. How could Lu Zhaoling and the Crown Prince possibly let them off the hook?
"Really? You're the one who won them over?" Zhou Shiyue looked at her, a smile in his eyes. "Our Ah Ling is really something."
"You're amazing." Lu Zhaoling glared at him and said, "It was your final burst of golden light that stunned them all, which is why the Crown Prince was able to arrive with his men and take them down."
His golden light?
Zhou Shiyue recalled the last moment of his memory, but couldn't quite remember it.
"I don't know what happened back then."
“Yes, you were probably protecting yourself unconsciously at that time,” Lu Zhaoling said again. “However, Master Yu is on the Emperor’s side, so this time, could the Crown Prince use this as a starting point to force the Emperor to abdicate?”
"This time, he has no choice but to comply."
Zhou Shiyue's eyes turned slightly cold.
After this incident, he will not allow his elder brother to sit in that position again.
“Father…” He thought of the retired emperor, and his expression changed slightly.
"The Emperor Emeritus is alright."
Lu Zhaoling quickly told him about the retired emperor.
Zhou Shiyue was finally relieved.
"Actually, it's fine if Father really has to reincarnate." He can ask his father which family he was born into later and then go and see.
Although that would be very strange.
"I was afraid you'd really die this time." Lu Zhaoling leaned closer, hugged him, and pressed her ear against his chest.
Listening to his heartbeat now makes me feel really at ease.
It feels good.
"It's better for people to be alive, at least their bodies are warm and their hearts are beating."
Lu Zhaoling looked up at Zhou Shiyue again, "There won't be a next time. If you really become a ghost, I'll consider myself a widow!"
There was no way she would stay with her dead husband.
Zhou Shiyue was both amused and exasperated.
"It seems we're still in the underworld."
Saying such things in the underworld always seems unconvincing, making death seem less terrifying.
Lu Zhaoling paused.
It seems that this is really the case.
She spoke a few more words with Zhou Shiyue before Yin Yunting came over.
Seeing that Zhou Shiyue had truly regained consciousness, Yin Yunting breathed a sigh of relief.
"My senior sister is extremely worried this time."
Yin Yunting said to Lu Zhaoling, "Now that the prince has woken up, you two should hurry back to the mortal realm. Two living people can't stay in the Judge's Hall forever."
"After you get back, Senior Sister, you should also get a good night's sleep. You haven't slept soundly for the past two or three days, and you've even developed dark circles under your eyes."
When Zhou Shiyue heard that Lu Zhaoling hadn't slept well while watching over him, he touched Lu Zhaoling's face with heartache.
"Who said that? I even took a nap in the King of Hell's palace before." Lu Zhaoling denied it.
However, regardless of whether she admitted it or not, Yin Yunting still sent them back to the mortal realm.
As for himself, he will remain in the underworld for a few more days.
Lu Zhaoling opened the gates of hell and brought Zhou Shiyue back to the palace.
Qingyin and Qingbao had been waiting outside their new house for the past few days. When Lu Zhaoling opened the door, they immediately stood up upon hearing the sound.
Lu Zhaoling was surprised to find the two of them still sitting on the threshold. She was almost startled by them.
"princess!"
The two maids were not frightened when they saw Lu Zhaoling suddenly come out of the room; on the contrary, they were very excited.
"You're finally back!"
"Why are you two sitting here?" Lu Zhaoling was both amused and exasperated. Seeing that they both had large dark circles under their eyes and looked much more haggard, she felt a pang of guilt and heartache.
"You two idiots, you could have gone back to sleep before I got back. What are you doing guarding this place?"
"This servant is afraid that if the Princess needs us, she won't be able to find us when she returns."
"If I wanted to find you, would I be afraid I wouldn't be able to?" Lu Zhaoling shook her head and sighed. "How long have you been sitting here?"
“This servant doesn’t sit here all the time; we take turns sleeping here at night.”
Qingyin and Qingbao were also frightened this time and were really worried.
They had followed Lu Zhaoling for three and a half years and had never encountered anything so serious. No matter what happened, Lu Zhaoling always had time to give them instructions. This time, however, there wasn't even a word of explanation. The prince and princess went straight to the underworld.
Although Aoki later returned and said that there was news of Young Master Yin, not being able to see the Prince and Princess in person was a big deal for them.
Taking turns sleeping? That means at least one person will be here to watch over things at night.
