Chapter 22 – Conspiracy

Lu Ruoqing nodded, “En, I am not willing.”

“Ruoqing!” Mrs. Gu opened her eyes wide and looked at her daughter in disbelief.

“How did you know His Majesty King Huan? Mother can let go of the matter of His Majesty King Huan calling you to go there. But, since the His Majesty King Huan has set her eyes on you, how can she allow you to reject it?! ”

Lu Ruoqing spread out her hands and said: “That’s why I said I wanted to think of a way for him to retreat after knowing the difficulties.”

“Why?” Mrs. Gu still didn’t understand. “Let’s not talk about His Majesty King Huan’s esteemed identity, just considering his talent, I heard that he is also extremely handsome. She is still young, and even likes you. Why wouldn’t she be willing?”

“Qi Dafu.” Lu Ruoqing could not reveal the true reason.

“How can you say that?” Mrs. Gu shook her head, “Mother has always been worried about your marriage. Now that I have such a good candidate for the position of His Majesty King Huan, why do you still reject it?”

Lu Ruoqing was slightly agitated in her heart, and said impatiently: “Second consort is only a concubine.”

“How can it be the same?” Mrs. Gu disagreed, “If it’s an ordinary concubine of another family, of course not. But, for royal Second consort, it would be a different story altogether. ”

Lu Ruoqing didn’t want to argue with her mother, so she remained silent.

Mrs. Gu continued, “Ruoqing, Mother naturally understands that Second consort is not as dignified as an official wife.”

She sighed, “But according to the Lu family’s background, it’s impossible for you to become a Princess Huan. Furthermore, Mother is more worried that your rejection will offend the King Huan and cause trouble for you! ”

Lu Ruoqing still persisted, “Don’t worry, I won’t directly reject you.”

“You’re really not interested at all?” Mrs. Gu did not understand her daughter’s resistance and found it hard to understand.

“Even if you feel that Second consort is a concubine, then His Majesty King Huan s are still incomparable to ordinary prince Second consort s.”

She lowered her voice, “They all say that His Majesty King Huan wants to be the crown prince.”

Lu Ruoqing understood what her mother meant.

If King Huan became the crown prince, he would become the emperor in the future.

Then his Second consort would be given the title of concubine, and the prince he would have would also have the possibility of becoming an Ascendant.

Naturally, it was a road of wealth and prosperity.

Lu Ruoqing pondered.

She had no way to voice out her hatred from her previous life, so she couldn’t convince her mother.

Since that was the case, why fight with his mother over the position of a fake Second consort?

So he pretended to be moved and said hesitantly, “If …” According to what Mother said, it’s not impossible. ”

Mrs. Gu heaved a sigh of relief, “Yes, this might be your good marriage.”

What a fart! Lu Ruoqing’s anger rose again.

A flash of disappointment passed through Mrs. Gu’s eyes, “Is His Majesty King Huan not serious enough to let you be the Second consort?”

Lu Ruoqing chuckled, “Who knows? I’m not sure about that. ”

Why would the King Huan in his previous life, who would rather contradict Su Shufei and make her his wife, be willing to let her be only a Second consort in his current life? Why?

Logically speaking, it was impossible for a person’s personality to mutate.

Then, very suddenly, King Huan and Su Shufei had a huge argument. They insisted that she be made an imperial concubine and even found and agreed to be conferred the title of emperor.

What was the reason for King Huan to suddenly make such a decision?

Looking back, there was no special incident back then.

Lu Ruoqing was confused.

At this moment, King Huan received her ancient painting and letter, a smile curving on the corner of his mouth.

It was hard to find an ancient painting, but what was even more difficult was that Lu Ruoqing must have thought of him a long time ago, which was why she was able to find an ancient painting in the past.

This made him extremely proud and confident.

As far as men were concerned, being able to be admired by a devastatingly beautiful woman was also a matter worth being proud of.

And Lu Ruoqing’s letter was even more interesting.

In her letter, she said that she had met her younger sister, Lu Zhenger, in a difficult situation when she went home.

Not only did he push her down and injure her, he even refused to forgive her, insisting that she go to the Amphibiscus to meet a man privately to spread rumors and ruin her reputation.

Therefore, she hoped that he would go to the Lu family to thank her for the painting and help her solve her predicament.

“Hehe, this woman …” He had actually learned how to use his power.

King Huan couldn’t help but smile.

And what surprised him the most, was that Lu Ruoqing had specifically instructed him to wear his usual attire, find a chance to cause Lu Zhenger trouble, and then punished him for offending a prince.

He had seen many women with scheming eyes. This was the first time he had encountered someone who didn’t hide anything.

King Huan felt that this was Lu Ruoqing’s honesty towards her.

What he did not know was that Lu Ruoqing did not hide it from him on purpose, but wanted to make him hate her, think of her as malicious, and dispel the idea of taking her as Second consort.

However, Lu Ruoqing had miscalculated.

The King Huan’s taste was different from all the others.

He didn’t like simple, brainless girls. He had the throne of the emperor, and on the contrary, he liked even more scheming women. Only then would they be able to help him in the future!

Hence, he was even more interested in Lu Ruoqing.

“Go out and prepare the carriage.” King Huan instructed.

He followed Lu Ruoqing’s warning and specially changed into a low-key casual attire. Even the jade pendant on his waist and the thumb ring on his hand were removed from his body.

But even so, it couldn’t hide his brilliance.

He rode all the way to the Lu Manor.

Coincidentally, Amphibiscus’s shop assistant was also called to the Lu Manor, just in time to arrive.

King Huan revealed his identity at the door, and did not allow anyone to enter the door to report it.

When he just arrived at the inner court, he heard a hubbub inside.

If it wasn’t Lu Ruoqing, most likely, it was the that was born from a concubine.

Lu Ruoqing did not answer.

“Talking?” Lu Zhenger said aggressively, trying to intimidate her non-stop.

“Exactly.”

Another young woman chimed in, “Ruoqing, do you think we can avoid talking about it? Even if you refuse to admit it, you can forget about getting away with it! ”

Lu Ruoqing still did not speak.

“Ruoqing, what’s going on?”

An aged voice sounded. It sounded very old, and it should be Lu Ruoqing’s grandmother, Grand Lord Yun.

Grand Lord Yun said: “Yesterday you kept saying that Zheng Er slandered you, and now it seems that you were lying.”

Lu Ruoqing finally opened her mouth and replied: “That’s right, I am indeed lying about this matter.”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I knew it! ” Lu Zhenger shouted.

“You admit to lying?” Grand Lord Yun asked in a deep voice.

“I have my reasons.” Lu Ruoqing replied.

“Difficult? “Haha …”

Lu Zhenger acted as if she had heard a great joke and laughed at him loudly, “You secretly met a man and you still have trouble? It’s probably because my heart is thumping, but I can’t say for sure. ”

“No.” Lu Ruoqing denied it and then explained, “That young master’s identity is special, he didn’t want me to reveal it, that’s why I didn’t tell him the truth.”

She avoided the crucial point with ease, and never revealed the identity of the King Huan.

But how could Lu Zhenger know the inside story?

He thought that Lu Ruoqing was just making it up and became more proud of herself.

She immediately called out, “Grandmother! Now that the witness is here, and big sister has also admitted to meeting the man in private, then it means that all of this is her fault! ”

“By doing so, she has tarnished the reputation of the Lu Family. She must be severely punished. She should be sent to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days and three nights!”

King Huan took a step forward and leaned towards the window, casting his gaze over.

They saw that Lu Ruoqing was dressed in a white silk garment with blood on her shoulders. Her face was pale white and did not have any makeup on, making her look even more frail and haggard.

Especially her eyes, which were so dark and moist that it seemed as if they could burst into tears at any moment.

I really pity her when I see her.

On the other side of her, Lu Zhenger was dressed in peach-colored clothes, her eyebrows were slanted inwards and her almond eyes were opened wide.

The contrast was too obvious.

King Huan could not hold back his laughter, “Tch …”

“Who?” Who’s laughing? ”

Under the clear sky, there was actually a strange man who intruded into the Lu family? Impossible.

Even the Mrs. Gu was a little worried and shouted in a probing tone, “Mu Bai, did you come back?”

King Huan casually walked into the courtyard.

In accordance to Lu Ruoqing’s request, he intentionally wore a low-key, dark blue robe. It was plain and unadorned, and there was nothing decorative on her body.

But the moment he appeared, it was a stunning scene!

King Huan’s face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were like the wind, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, as if he was filled with love.

That air that was like a tall pine tree, that charm of being alone in the green bamboo, and that natural elegance was enough to bring down the hearts of all women in the world.

Don’t say that Lu Zhenger saw her as an idiot.

A flash of surprise also flashed past the eyes of the Yun Family and the Mrs. Gu.

Even the Grand Lord Yun could not help but take a few more glances before frowning and saying, “Sir, who are you? Why did you barge into the Lu Manor so casually? This doesn’t follow the rules, right? ”

“You …” “Who are you?”

She looked at King Huan with infatuation.

“Young master, why are you here? What’s the matter? ”

The eyes of the servant of the Amphibiscus lit up, and she exclaimed, “Ah! It’s him! ”

“Him?” Lu Zhenger still did not understand.

The servant quickly said: “It’s this young master, he went to Amphibiscus to meet the young miss of the Lu family!”

Then he slapped his thigh, “Um …” “I’ve already recognized the person standing in front of me. If you guys have anything to do with me, just end it yourself. I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, he quickly left.

Everyone in the yard was shocked.

The expression in Lu Zhenger’s eyes was especially complicated.

He looked at King Huan, then looked at Lu Ruoqing, and asked with jealousy: “Yesterday, you were meeting with this Young Master? It’s really him! ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled and said: “It’s him.”

Lu Zhenger was so jealous that she was about to burst into flames, she gritted her teeth and said, “Very good! “You’ve finally admitted it!”
