This was the first time Lü Luo had heard of the Emperor's name. He had to admit that this numerical name was really strange …
"This name is a little interesting!"
"Are you surprised by the number?"
"Yes, such a name is indeed rare."
"It's not rare because the previous generation of princes and princesses all had such numbers.
The First Prince is called Wuyi, the Second Prince is called Wuyi, and Wuqi means that the Emperor Father is ranked 71st among all the siblings. "
Lü Luo was slightly shocked. Could such a name be given?
This was the imperial family. Wasn't this a little too casual?
"This name is indeed very unique!"
Lü Luo, who didn't know how to respond, could only say so.
"Unique? Isn't it laughable? Haha, but no one laughs at the imperial family. Those who do are basically all killed.
However, Lü Luo, have you ever thought about why the imperial family would give their descendants such names? "
"Why?"
"Because although the imperial family has many branches, they won't inherit the surname Wu.
Only the Emperor's branch can inherit the name Wu, which is the true imperial family.
If a male inherits, he will have more children. If a female inherits, she will be adopted from the same line.
The imperial family only needs the most outstanding children, so arranging them by number is actually the best way to label them.
There won't be any mistakes, and it will also let the people who stand know better.
My Emperor Father is the winner. He became the Emperor, and our competition will be exactly the same as their generation. "
Although Wu Yi spoke very calmly, the contents of his words still shocked Lü Luo.
This method of nurturing the next generation was no longer as simple as raising Gu.
"What a cruel life of an Emperor!"
"Cruel? I don't think so. We have enjoyed the resources, benefits, and status of the imperial family. We should indeed contribute to the imperial family.
These are only a part of our contributions. "
"So you still approve of this method."
"Regardless of whether I approve or not, we can't change anything. Since there's no way to change it, we should comply and find a breakthrough from the limited rules. What do you think?"
Lü Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Liji.
"Hey, you're also a princess. What do you think about this matter?"
"Me? Do you know that I've been imprisoned for almost two months because of you? "
"Because of me?"
"Yes, even we, the little princes and princesses, can't interfere in the game of the superiors.
Because of Emperor Father's closed-door cultivation, the entire imperial capital is in chaos. No one knows what will happen in the end. "
Hearing the two girls mention their father, Lü Luo's interest in this new Emperor.
"Then, I'll have to wait for your father to come out of seclusion before I can make a clear arrangement?"
"Yes, and no!" Wu Yi continued the conversation.
"What do you mean?"
"Right now, your situation is actually not that bad. The one who asked you to stay outside is one of the ancestors of the imperial family, Wu Dixian."
"Wu Dixian" Lü Luo remembered this name, but he knew nothing about this person. Why would this guy interfere with his affairs?
He thought about it. In the imperial capital, other than the imperial family's summons, he didn't seem to know anyone else.
Wu Dixian's name was unlikely to be related to the Bai family.
Therefore, Lü Luo didn't quite understand how he could be related to such an ancient member of the imperial family.
"Yes, for some reason, this old ancestor pays special attention to you.
He specially instructed the various forces to keep a distance from you, so you can stay here.
Do you understand? "
Hearing this, Lü Luo was even more puzzled. What did this Wu Dixian mean?
Did he know him?
"Can I see this person?"
"This person? This person's reputation isn't very good. Many people don't want to see him.
Although they know that he's currently in the imperial palace, no one knows where he is now.
Perhaps my father knows, but my father … has yet to come out of closed-door cultivation. "
Lü Luo faintly felt the worry in Wu Yi's tone.
This worry wasn't about her father, because she had never seen her father more than a few times since she was young.
It couldn't be said to be any additional emotions. The imperial family's nurturing didn't have anything to do with emotions.
What she was worried about was her future.
If something really happened to the Emperor, then they, the princes and princesses, would face a great crisis and choice.
"Is that so …"
Lü Luo pondered for a moment, then looked at Wu Liji. No matter what, Wu Liji was the first imperial family member he knew.
Furthermore, the cooperation between the two was very pleasant. Lü Luo also felt very sorry that he had implicated her this time.
"I'm sorry this time, I've implicated you."
"What are you saying? If not for you, I wouldn't have walked out of the gray robe."
"Alright, what do you guys have to say? Can we talk about it later?
Bringing Liji out requires me to bear a great risk. Can we confirm the matter at hand as soon as possible, and then consider the personal matters between you two? "
Wu Yi was clearly dissatisfied, and Lü Luo also nodded apologetically.
"Alright, then tell me, how do we cooperate?"
Lü Luo maintained a catered attitude towards cooperation.
The current him didn't know much about the imperial family. He really needed a platform, a guide to help him understand this place.
Wu Yi's ability and sphere of influence were obviously much stronger than Wu Liji's.
He was indeed a very reasonable partner.
"It's very simple. Join the inspection department, the department directly under me."
"That's it?"
"The cooperation between us is only a verbal agreement. I know that I don't have any binding force on you, and I don't want to use any contract or anything like that to bind you.
That's meaningless. I just want to tell you that in a place like the imperial capital, many things can't be done with strength. "
Lü Luo nodded again. Wu Yi was right. Although he didn't agree with the statement of strength, he still didn't have the strength to ignore the rules.
Moreover, he also needed the strength of the empire.
"Alright, I'm willing to join. Then, what do I need to do next?"
"Accompany me to the various official occasions of the empire."
"Accompany you? Don't you need to fight? "
Lü Luo was a little surprised. He thought that joining Wu Yi's camp was to continue to head to the borders and expand the empire's territory.
This way, he could accumulate a large amount of military contributions and obtain a substantial and reasonable identity.
In the long run, he would have the capital to establish himself in the imperial capital.
After all, no one could blame a valiant warrior, a hero.
This was also Lü Luo's original intention.
Wu Yi's current intention seemed to be to bring him on a tour …
Lü Luo instinctively resisted such a thing.
"Fight? Let's talk about this later. Do you know what's the most important thing now? "
"The most important thing? Shouldn't it be to determine a reasonable and legal identity for myself? "
Wu Yi's eyes lit up. Lü Luo was very smart.
She nodded.
"Yes, what you need now is a reasonable and legal identity."
"Then why do we have to go on a tour?"
"I don't like the term 'tour', and this isn't really a tour. I'm bringing you on a tour and entering official occasions to let others know that you're one of my people.
You're now my guard, an official member of the Inspection Department. Do you understand?
This method will also clarify your identity and won't arouse suspicion. It's faster and more effective. "
Wu Yi's explanation was a little far-fetched. Lü Luo narrowed his eyes and immediately thought of the reason.
"I'm afraid that's not your goal, right? In addition to clarifying my identity, you also want me to be labeled as one of your people.
After all … I'm still a free person.
After going to various official occasions with you, there's a high chance that I'll become one of your people in the eyes of others. Am I right? "
"Can't this be done? We're in a cooperative relationship, and this is part of our cooperation. "
Lü Luo didn't immediately answer. He didn't refuse, but he didn't directly agree.
Wu Yi's method was reasonable, but he also felt a little uncomfortable.
Going to various official occasions could indeed give him a clear identity.
However, it was also easy to label him as a reward.
Wu Yi wasn't a thick thigh. Lü Luo was very sure of that.
She was only Sixth Grade. In terms of potential, she couldn't even compare to Princess Wu Handing, whom he had killed earlier.
A role like that was only a role.
Lü Luo didn't think that Wu Yi could reach the top, nor did he think that she was strong enough to establish herself in the imperial capital.
Thus, if he were to label himself as one of Wu Yi's people, then in the future …
"Lü Luo, are you doubting my strength?"
"Yes, you're very weak. I don't think you have the ability to fight for what you want."
Lü Luo was only speaking the truth, but Wu Liji looked at him worriedly.
If their negotiations broke down now, Lü Luo's situation would continue to worsen.
However, Wu Yi didn't seem angry at Lü Luo's words. She nodded calmly.
"I know that I'm not strong enough. I don't even have a Seventh Grade expert here.
However, it's precisely because of this that you have absolute freedom with me. You can do whatever you want and do whatever you want.
Our cooperation is equal. You can do whatever you want. I won't interfere or hinder you.
You won't be able to get such conditions from anyone else.
Thus, while being weak is my disadvantage, it's also where you can trust me. "
One had to admit that Wu Yi's words were very clever. She was definitely an ambitious woman.
Lü Luo thought about it carefully. Wu Yi's promise was no different from a pie in the sky.
She wasn't strong enough to restrain him. It wasn't that she didn't restrain him.
If she truly had the ability to restrain her subordinates, then it was inevitable.
However, Lü Luo wasn't willing to become someone else's subordinate. He just needed a place to stay.
"You're very good at talking. Moreover, you've convinced me.
So be it. Your Highness Wu Yi, Lü Luo, await your orders. "
"Hehe, I knew you would agree. Lü Luo, our future is bright."
"I hope so!"
Wu Yi was in high spirits after receiving Lü Luo's affirmation.
Logically speaking, she should be talking to Lü Luo about the details of the cooperation and what they were going to do next.
However, the smart Wu Yi didn't do that. She took the initiative to look at Wu Liji.
Then, she gave time and space to Wu Liji and Lü Luo.
"Alright, there's still some time before Liji returns. You two can have a good chat and reminisce about old times."
Wu Yi took the initiative to leave and gave space to Lü Luo and Wu Liji.
Wu Liji smiled and flipped her hair.
She walked to the edge of the camp while waiting for Lü Luo. She knew that Lü Luo would follow.
"Have you been under a lot of pressure recently?" Lü Luo saw that Wu Liji hadn't spoken, so he took the initiative to speak.
However, Wu Liji simply shook her head.
"It's alright. Actually, life under house arrest isn't as bad as you think.
It's just that I'm not free. If I keep cultivating, I won't feel any depression. "
"That's alright."
Lü Luo didn't know what to say. He wasn't particularly close to Wu Liji, so the atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward.
"She thinks I like you …"
"Uh, and then?"
"Actually, I do like you a little, but … I don't think I'm a bootlicker, but a cat."
The word bootlicker was still a little shocking when it came from the mouth of a princess. Lü Luo scratched his head in embarrassment.
After all, it was very distressing to be liked by others all the time.
"I know that you're a bootlicker, but what do you mean by a cat?"
"A cat probably means that I can like you and know that I like you, but if you hinder my ideals and pursuits, I will still let you go without hesitation.
Lü Luo, I only have a little good impression of you. We really haven't reached that stage. "
It was unknown if Wu Liji's words were meant for Lü Luo or for herself.
Lü Luo could only nod at this time.
"I know, I know. Then what do you want to do next?"
"When I'm free, I'll pursue my own ideals."
"Ideals … Are you still like Gray Robe, wanting to subvert this country?"
"I'm not that radical anymore. In the past two years, I've been thinking about whether my previous actions were right."
"And then? What did you think of?"
"Change can be subtle."
"What do you mean?" Lü Luo suddenly felt that Wu Liji seemed to have changed.
However, he couldn't tell what had changed.
He didn't know if Wu Liji's change was good or bad.
"You will know, Lü Luo. We will all know.
Just like what you said just now, we all have a bright future.
You will witness my growth and the rise of my ideals. "
Lü Luo:???
