Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan were affectionate for a long time and finally coaxed him into submission. Finally, he relented and agreed to see Lu Tingzhi. If it weren't for his injuries, Ye Zhen felt that she wouldn't be able to go out and see anyone today.
"Restrain yourself if you are injured." Ye Zhen glanced at his lower abdomen and stuffed a sweet date into his mouth. "I'll be right back."
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. When his injury healed, he would let her know the consequences of abstinence.
When Ye Zhen came to the main hall, she found that most of the people here were gone. After asking, she learned that Fang Shaoming had arranged for the uninjured people to go down the mountain to help. Those people saved their lives under Fang Shaoming's reminder. Now, they were obedient to Fang Shaoming's arrangements. They only hoped that they could go home and pick up some belongings, otherwise, they would really have nothing.
Lu Tingzhi's injury was very serious, and he was injured because he was saving people. Therefore, he did not live in the main hall like the others, but was arranged to stay in the wing room.
When Ye Zhen came over, a little monk was bringing medicine to Lu Tingzhi. He drank the medicine silently and thanked the little monk politely. When he looked up, he saw Ye Zhen standing by the door.
The woman who once haunted him was dressed in an elegant plain dress, but it could not hide her bright and moving appearance. She was as dazzling as the little girl he had been attracted to. After so many years, he had long been physically and mentally exhausted. He seemed to have aged a lot, but she seemed to have not changed at all.
At that time, he didn't know her life experience, let alone the taste of love. He only knew that every time his sister appeared, she would attract his eyes. Although he didn't say a few words to her and she didn't seem to notice him, he just liked to look at her.
Later, he learned that it was love.
He used to feel inferior and ashamed because of his thoughts, hating himself for being shameless and obscene. Later, when he learned of her life experience, he still felt that he was as humble as dust and not worthy of her at all.
He saw her once in the capital and thought he would never see her again in this life.
His eldest brother hurt her like that … She must hate him too.
"How are your injuries recovering?" Ye Zhen didn't know what Lu Tingzhi was thinking. She walked in and looked at him with clear and calm eyes.
"Ah!" Lu Tingzhi returned to his senses and bowed his head in embarrassment. "It's much better. I heard from Lord Fang that you saved me. I … I am very grateful."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Third brother, you are too polite."
Third brother? Lu Tingzhi looked up in surprise, "Yao Yao, do you still recognize me as your third brother?"
"I was raised by the Lu Family. Although we aren't related by blood, since my parents are from the Lu Family, I naturally have to call you Third Brother." Lu Lingzhi's true identity was also not that of the Lu Family. The only reason why she still addressed Lu Tingzhi as Third Brother was because of Old Madam Lu.
She would never forget Old Madam Lu's feelings for her.
"Yaoyao, I … am very ashamed." Lu Tingzhi said guiltily.
"Yao Zhi," said. Ye Zhen sat down, staring calmly at Lu Tingzhi. After Lu Lingzhi had died, she and Mo Rongzhan had gone to the Xuantian Continent. She didn't know what had happened to Lu Tingzhi and the Liu matriarch.
Lu Tingzhi nodded lightly. "I'm at the Hanlin Courtyard in the Qi Kingdom. My mother is with me. Although we aren't very wealthy, we can still get by."
"Why not stay in the Jin Kingdom?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. Lu Tingzhi was brimming with talent. If he stayed in the Jin Kingdom, she believed that Lu Shiming would certainly help him.
"I don't have the face to stay." Lu Tingzhi smiled bitterly. What face did he have to continue staying in the Jin Nation?
Ye Zhen looked at him. "What Lu Lingzhi did has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. He is not a member of your Lu family."
Lu Tingzhi said self-deprecatingly, "Even so, he was still my big brother for over thirty years. Also … what Shuang 'er did to your sister, I don't know how I can make it up to him."
"She has paid the price." Ye Zhen did not hide that she had retaliated against Lu Wushuang. "You are you, and they are them. However, whether you choose to stay in the Qi Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, no one has the right to interfere. I just hope that you can be open-minded. My parents and I do not blame you."
Since she called him Third Brother today, she did not care about it. Lu Tingzhi's heart softened. "Thank you."
"How did you happen to pass by here?" Ye Zhen no longer mentioned the past. Since Lu Lingzhi's death, the past has become the past.
Moreover, Lu Wushuang is still locked up in the harem of Yuan Kingdom. I am afraid that her fate will not be good.
Lu Tingzhi whispered, "Last month was the anniversary of my father's death. I went back to pay my respects and passed by An He Town. I didn't expect that there would be a flood. My entourage was separated from me. I don't know if he was washed away by the water."
"Have you asked Lord Fang to inquire about it?" Ye Zhen asked.
"I have." Lu Tingzhi was a little uncomfortable and explained in a low voice, "When Lu Lingzhi was sent to the wilderness, my mother and I followed him. He … arranged for me to enter the academy. I concealed my identity and met Fang Shaoming there."
Ye Zhen smiled. "Zhao Rao knew your identity, but she still let you stay in the Hanlin Academy. It shows that you are talented."
"At that time, it was Duanmu Ya who helped me." Lu Tingzhi lowered his eyes. Thinking of his former friend, his heart surged with grief.
"I killed Cheng Zheng. Zhao Rao knows your identity. I am afraid you will not have a comfortable life in the Kingdom of Qi." Ye Zhen said. Even if Zhao Rao wanted to put Lu Tingzhi in an important position before, she must have a gap with him now because of her relationship with him.
Lu Tingzhi smiled and said calmly, "I have already resigned. It is not bad to be a private tutor in the future."
"Go to Yuan Kingdom." Ye Zhen said lightly, "If you want, I will arrange it."
"Didn't you give up your position to Shui Yichen?" Lu Tingzhi was stunned. He did not understand why Ye Zhen would let him go to Yuan Kingdom.
Ye Zhen smiled. "Yes, at this time, Shui Yichen should be thirsty for talent. If you go, you will certainly make a difference."
If not for Shui Yichen, she would still be the Heavenly Princess of Yuan Kingdom. Now that she has given up her position, it will be difficult for her daughter to take over Yuan Kingdom in the future.
Yuan Kingdom and Jin Kingdom can no longer be as close allies as before.
If Lu Tingzhi had not experienced these years, he might not have been able to see anything. However, he felt that Ye Zhen would not ask him to go to Yuan Kingdom for no reason.
"I … will think about it." Lu Tingzhi whispered, not refusing.
Ye Zhen looked at him. Lu Tingzhi was indeed a sensible person.
"You are seriously injured. Stay here and recuperate. My brother is the Imperial Envoy. He will come over in a few days. At that time, you brothers can get together." Ye Zhen said.
"Good." Lu Tingzhi smiled when he heard that Lu Xiangzhi was the Imperial Envoy.
