It wasn't a secret that the King of Qin disliked his wang fei. Everyone around him knew this, including Lu Lingzhi. Before coming to the King of Qin's Fu, he had imagined that the King of Qin would be an extremely unpleasant person with an unruly and willful personality. But when he saw the King of Qin slowly walking over, with a warm smile on her beautiful face and clear eyes that were like the morning stars he had seen on the grasslands, Lu Lingzhi's heart sank.
"May I ask who you are?" Yao Yao was a little timid. She knew that Prince Qin valued his confidants around him, so he did not dare to put on airs. But she really did not know who the person in front of her was.
Lu Lingzhi returned to his senses and bowed with a smile. "Greetings, Princess. My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Lingzhi. I am the advisor of Prince Qin. This time, I came to the capital under the order of Prince Qin. I am afraid that I will temporarily stay in the mansion to disturb Prince Qin."
Mo Rongzhan stood in front of Yao Yao. He knew too well what Lu Lingzhi was doing in the capital. In addition to preparing food and fodder, he also wanted to use Princess Qin to deal with the Ye family. These were secondary. If Lu Lingzhi stayed, he would know her secret and let Lu Wushuang replace her to gain Prince Qin's trust.
How could he watch Yao Yao be used and hurt by Lu Lingzhi?
"Yao Yao, don't believe him. Let him go." Mo Rongzhan shouted.
"It turned out to be Childe Lu." Yaoyao returned the greeting with a smile. "Since you've come back on Prince Wang's orders, you will naturally be staying in the residence. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."
Lu Lingzhi was secretly surprised. Princess Qin was such a reasonable person. Why didn't Prince Qin like her? "Thank you, Princess."
Yao Yao didn't see Mo Rongzhan's angry look. She seemed a little restrained. "Childe Lu, please sit down and have some tea."
"Thank you, Princess." Lu Lingzhi sat down and his eyes flashed on Ye Zhen's face.
He did not know many people, but he had seen all kinds of beauties in the world. But he had never seen one as beautiful as Princess Qin.
Prince Qin was really wasting God's gift.
As a fellow man, how could Mo Rongzhan not see the amazement in Lu Lingzhi's eyes. He wanted nothing more than to kill Lu Lingzhi and not allow him to look at Yaoyao in such a manner. However, he was powerless, and could only watch as Lu Lingzhi deceived his Yaoyao.
"Young Master Lu, I wonder if His Highness … is doing well in the military camp?" Yao Yao asked in a low voice. She really wanted to know about Qin Wang's situation, but no one had ever told her. She also didn't dare to ask her father. She was afraid that her father would know that she had been neglected by Qin Wang. At that time, he would definitely bring her back to the Ye family.
She hadn't been able to let the King of Qin know that she was the Yaoyao he had met in the Hundred Flower Garden all those years ago. How could she retreat just like that?
Lu Lingzhi could tell from Lady Qin's tone that she was very concerned about King Qin. He smiled and said, "King Qin is doing very well. On the battlefield, King Qin is an invincible general."
"Is he … very busy every day?" Yaoyao asked in a low voice. Was he so busy that he didn't even have time to think about her? She had written so many letters to him, but he didn't reply to any of them.
"His Highness is very busy sometimes," Lu Lingzhi said.
That meant there were times when he wasn't busy. He wasn't so busy that he didn't have time to read her letter. He just didn't want to reply to her.
Did Qin Wang … really hate her that much?
"Yaoyao, don't listen to him. It's not that I don't want to reply to your letter. I was just too stupid and conceited in the past. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mo Rongzhan saw the light in her eyes gradually dim. His heart twisted into a ball.
"Has His Highness been injured in battle?" Yaoyao couldn't hear Mo Rongzhan's words at all. Her heart was on Lu Lingzhi. She desperately wanted to know if Qin Wang was injured on the battlefield and if he was doing well outside.
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. "Wang fei is very concerned about His Highness."
Yaoyao lowered her head. "He is a King. Of course I have to care about him."
"Don't worry, Wang fei. His Highness is very skilled in martial arts. He will receive some small injuries on the battlefield, but they aren't serious. They are all superficial wounds." Lu Lingzhi said. In reality, Mo Rongzhan had indeed received very serious injuries. However, he had ordered that he couldn't tell outsiders. To Qin Wang, Wang fei was probably still an outsider.
"That's good." Yaoyao sighed in relief. "Young Master Lu, I'll have someone bring you to the guest room."
"Thank you, Wang fei." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan could only go berserk at the side. How could he let Lu Lingzhi come back that year … How could he treat Yaoyao like this …
"Wang fei, you can rest assured now. His Highness is doing well in the military camp. You are the only one who isn't doing well," the maid said helplessly.
Yaoyao glared at her. "Go tell the kitchen to prepare a few delicious dishes for Young Master Lu tonight. They are all eating simple food in the military camp. They definitely won't be able to eat much."
"Yes, Wang fei."
Mo Rongzhan wanted to hold Yaoyao's hand. "Yaoyao, don't get close to Lu Lingzhi. He will harm you."
In the following days, Mo Rongzhan didn't get to see Yaoyao stay away from Lu Lingzhi as he wished. Instead, in order to find out more about Qin Wang, Yaoyao would take the initiative to ask Lu Lingzhi about it. As time went by, they gradually became familiar with each other.
"Brother Lu has been in the capital for some time now. Have you finished your work?" Yaoyao asked in a low voice. She wanted to ask Lu Lingzhi to bring a message to Qin Wang.
"Now that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War are under Ye Yisong's control, His Highness's army is really short of provisions. I have been back for so long, but I still haven't been able to gather enough provisions. Sigh." Lu Lingzhi sighed.
Yaoyao's heart tightened. Although she didn't know how to fight, she knew that provisions were important to the military camp. "Then what should we do?"
"Now, I can only bring the provisions back first. I will come back in a few days to think of a solution," Lu Lingzhi said.
"Is Uncle still making things difficult for Qin Wang?" She clenched her hands. "Brother Lu, wait for another two days. I will think of a solution for the provisions."
Mo Rongzhan suddenly looked at Yaoyao, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The provisions that Lu Lingzhi brought back that year … Yaoyao helped him gather them? He even thought highly of Lu Lingzhi because of this matter. Lu Lingzhi said that the Lu family had gathered the money, but it was a lie!
After being married for more than half a year, Yaoyao asked Ye Yiqing for help for the first time. She needed to prepare provisions for Qin Wang.
Ye Yiqing's heart ached for his daughter, but he didn't think too much at that time. When he found out that Qin Wang didn't sleep with his daughter, he felt even more relieved. He thought that Qin Wang was understanding that his daughter was still too young.
In less than half a month, Ye Yiqing really gathered the provisions.
Seeing all this, Mo Rongzhan's feelings couldn't be described with just regret.
What … did he do to Yaoyao?
Lu Lingzhi returned to the border with the provisions. At the same time, he also brought Yaoyao's letter to Qin Wang. He handed the letter to Qin Wang, but he didn't mention anything about the provisions.
Unfortunately, Qin Wang threw the letter into the fire. He didn't even look at it.
