Zhao Yong looked sharply at Lu Lingzhi. His eyes were full of judgment and probing. He was trying to figure out the meaning behind Lu Lingzhi's words. Zhao Ning wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom, so his personal attendants were very important. He had also thought of selecting capable people to go to the Jin Kingdom so that he could use them. After all, he had other plans for the Jin Kingdom.
But this Lu Lingzhi … what did he want to do in the Jin Kingdom?
"Lu Lingzhi, do you know why I want Princess Ning to go to the Jin Kingdom?" Zhao Yong asked word by word.
"I hope that the alliance between the two countries can be more stable until the Dark North Kingdom is completely defeated." Lu Lingzhi's smile looked like a spring breeze, but in reality, it was so cold that it made people feel cold. "This commoner knows what to do."
Zhao Yong was sure that he understood. He was even more suspicious of Lu Lingzhi's intentions. "I know the grudge between you and Mo Rongzhan. If you want to use Princess Ning to take revenge, I will not agree."
"This commoner will not use Princess Ning to take revenge." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice. "I only want to help Your Majesty take Mo Rongzhan's Jin Kingdom. That's all."
"For revenge, you will even give up your pride as a man?" Zhao Yong asked.
Lu Lingzhi's eyes flashed. "This commoner has already been seriously injured by Mo Rongzhan. My pride as a man … is long gone."
Hearing this, Zhao Yong understood why he wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom.
Lu Lingzhi would follow Princess Ning to the Jin Kingdom and become his pair of hands in the Jin Kingdom … it was indeed the most suitable.
"If you go to the Jin Kingdom, you will be recognized." Zhao Yong said. "Mo Rongzhan will not tolerate you."
"Duanmu Ya will help this commoner change my appearance. No one will recognize me. As for my identity … Lu Lingzhi does not exist anymore, as long as Your Majesty gives me a new identity." Lu Lingzhi said.
Zhao Yong looked at him deeply. "I will consider it."
Lu Lingzhi bowed. He knew that Zhao Yong had already agreed in his heart. He would let him go to the Jin Kingdom.
"This commoner will take his leave," he said.
"The Imperial Concubine has always wanted to get you back. There must be many things for you to do." Zhao Yong said lightly.
At the mention of his sister, Lu Lingzhi's eyes darkened. He did not really want to see Lu Wushuang.
"If you want to go to the Jin Nation, she probably won't agree," Zhao Yong said.
"This commoner will make her give up and never look for me again." Lu Lingzhi said softly.
Zhao Yong's lips curled into a smile, "Let's go see the Imperial Consort."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Lingzhi knew that Zhao Yong wanted him to see Lu Wushuang for the last time. After that, Lu Lingzhi would no longer exist in this world.
Lu Lingzhi retreated from the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The winter sun was bright and beautiful, casting a layer of warm light on his body, making his skin look even paler. However, the sunlight seemed unable to shine into his eyes, making them look as cold and sinister as ever. He was clearly such a fragile person, yet he still made others feel a trace of fear.
"Lord Lu …" The chief eunuch called him softly.
Lu Lingzhi didn't have any official position, but everyone was used to calling him Lord Lu.
"I'll have to trouble Gonggong to lead me to see the Imperial Consort." Lu Lingzhi said in a cold voice.
Lu Wushuang, who was in the Yi Kun Palace, heard that her brother had returned. The gloomy mood of the past few days was swept away. She personally went to the palace gate to wait for Lu Lingzhi. Seeing a slender figure in the distance, she ran over happily. "Big Brother."
Seeing Lu Lingzhi again, Lu Wushuang was shocked by his thinness and paleness. "Big Brother, how did you become like this?"
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly and bowed to Lu Wushuang indifferently. "Imperial Concubine."
"Big Brother, let's talk inside." Lu Wushuang didn't accept Lu Lingzhi's bow. She didn't bother to ask about his physical condition and hurriedly invited Lu Lingzhi into the hall to talk.
"Yes." Lu Lingzhi lifted his eyes and looked at his sister, who had not changed even after so many years. There was no longer any sadness or joy in his heart. He only had one thought now, and that was to snatch away Mo Rongzhan's Jin Country. As for the rest, it was not something he cared about. He had done enough for the Lu Family and his family.
Lu Wushuang was very happy. The Emperor hadn't come to see her these days. She was about to fall out of favor in the palace. Now that her brother was back, he would definitely make plans for her. "Big Brother, now that you're back, don't leave again, okay?"
"How are you doing in the palace?" Lu Lingzhi didn't answer her, but asked lightly.
"Not good." Lu Wushuang frowned and said, "The Emperor has given the power of the palace to the First Princess. Recently, he only dotes on Liu … Liu Guiren. Big Brother, I can only feel at ease when you are in the capital."
"Wushuang, I have done a lot for you. If you can't seize the opportunity, I can't be by your side forever." From the Imperial Consort of Jin Kingdom to the Imperial Consort of Qi Kingdom, he had done too much for his sister.
So much that he forgot to think for himself. It made him forget that he could fall in love with someone else.
Lu Wushuang frowned unhappily. "Big Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Duanmu Ya said that I'm seriously injured and won't live for long." Lu Lingzhi said lightly. "I just came to see you and mother, and then I will leave."
"What did you say?" Lu Wushuang suddenly stood up. "Are you going to leave me and mother?"
Lu Lingzhi saw her anger, but his face was still calm. "You and mother can take care of yourselves."
"Big Brother!" Lu Wushuang shouted at him. "Do you really have the heart to leave us alone?"
"Wushuang, you don't need my protection anymore. You haven't needed it since you were a child." Lu Lingzhi whispered.
Lu Wushuang looked at Lu Lingzhi in shock. She could feel his determination. He was really going to leave her.
"Big Brother, you really don't want us anymore?" Lu Wushuang asked in a daze.
"Wushuang, I want to live for myself." Lu Lingzhi whispered. He stood up. "It's getting late. I have to go back to see mother."
"Big Brother …" Lu Wushuang's tears welled up in her eyes. Looking at Lu Lingzhi's determined back, she knew that no matter what she said, he would never look back.
Lu Lingzhi walked out of Yikun Palace with firm steps. He might never appear here again in this life, and he should never see Lu Wushuang again. He didn't want to be soft-hearted anymore.
"Young Master." Not long after coming out of Yikun Palace, Lu Lingzhi heard a shocked sob coming from the other side. He turned his head and saw a gorgeous and charming face. It was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recognize who she was.
Liu Qiao 'er didn't expect to see Lu Lingzhi again in her lifetime. She hurried up and bowed deeply. "Young Master, it's me. I'm Liu Qiao' er. You taught me how to write in the Lu family. You gave me the name Qiao 'er."
"It's you." Lu Lingzhi was a little surprised to see the servant girl he thought was dead here.
