Lu Lingzhi had indeed detoxified the poison, but the process of detoxification was probably a pain he didn't want to recall in his life.
He rushed back to the capital immediately after detoxification, thinking that he could see the little cousin he had missed for a long time. However, when he returned to the capital, he found that Yao Yao was still missing. Even Huangfu Chen was nowhere to be found. The subordinates he sent to find Yao Yao also had no news.
"Marquis, Marquis Jingning is here." Leng Mei, dressed in black, came in from outside the study and whispered to Lu Lingzhi standing by the window.
"Invite him in." Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. He had just returned to the capital, but Tang Zhen knew the news so soon.
Tang Zhen strode in from outside and saw Lu Lingzhi, who looked much better than before. He shouted with joy, "Yanzhi, you look good. Where have you been these days?"
"I went to the Western Frontier." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile and motioned for Tang Zhen to sit on the other side of the tea table. "I met a poison master in the Western Frontier and asked him to relieve me of the seven days of pain."
"Really?" Tang Zhen was overjoyed. "So, there is no poison left in your body?"
Lu Lingzhi smiled and nodded. What he didn't say was that although he didn't have to suffer from the seven days of pain, his body was not as good as before. He still needed to work a hundred times harder to restore his martial arts. "Is there anything recently?"
He naturally asked about the capital and the palace. In fact, he wanted to know the situation in the palace. After giving Ye Yaoyao to Mo Rongzhan, would Mo Rongzhan dote on her as much as he doted on Shuang 'er? If he could forget Yao Yao because of this, his goal would be achieved.
"It's nothing. The emperor should be back in a few days." Tang Zhen whispered, "He should bring Yao Yao back."
Lu Lingzhi's face changed slightly. "Yao Yao?"
Tang Zhen whispered, "Yes, you don't know this yet. Yao Yao went to Zhao Island with Mr. Huangfu. A while ago, Zhao Mingxiao of Zhao Island declared that he wanted to establish a country. It happened that the emperor went to find Yao Yao, so Zhao Island was conquered. It may be delayed for a few days, but now Yao Yao should be with the emperor."
"Zhao Island?" Lu Lingzhi tightly gripped the teacup in his hand. The emperor and Yaoyao were together … given the emperor's determination towards Yaoyao, would he let her off?
At the thought of his little cousin becoming Mo Rongzhan's woman, Lu Lingzhi's heart was filled with the urge to kill.
Tang Zhen told Lu Lingzhi what he knew. "… You should have heard that the biological mother of the former emperor was under house arrest on Zhao Island. Zhao Island is surrounded by stone arrays. Yao Yao entered the island with their island master. The emperor really cares about Yao Yao, otherwise, he would not have gone to find her in person."
Lu Lingzhi had naturally heard of the Zhao Family Island and knew that the Island Master of the Zhao Family Island was not a simple person, but … this was not right! How could the Emperor still have the mood to care about Yaoyao? What about Ye Yaoyao? Ye Yaoyao was the one who saved his life. Wasn't the woman the Emperor cared about the most his previous life savior?
"The emperor personally went to find Yaoyao?" Lu Lingzhi asked again in disbelief.
"Yes, so you don't have to worry about Yaoyao falling out of favor in the future." Tang Zhen smiled reluctantly. He could only comfort himself in this way. It was not a good feeling to watch his beloved woman being spoiled by another man.
Lu Lingzhi gently put down the teacup. It took a while to suppress the shock and mania in his heart. "How could the emperor put aside the things in the capital to find Yaoyao …"
"The emperor did so," Tang Zhen said.
"…" Lu Lingzhi was silent for a long time. In this way, Yaoyao was more important to the emperor than he thought.
Tang Zhen patted Lu Lingzhi's shoulder. "Now that you are back, you can share a lot of things for me. Dongqing is going to send an envoy, and then there will be a lot of things to do."
"What about Ye Yaoyao?" Lu Lingzhi asked in a low voice. He remembered that Mo Rongzhan had already asked someone to bring Ye Yaoyao into the palace. Hadn't he made her a concubine?
"If it weren't for Ye Yaoyao, Yaoyao wouldn't have gone to Zhao Island." Tang Zhen said helplessly, "Yaoyao thought that the emperor wanted to make her a concubine, so she went to Zhao Island in anger. The emperor has sent Ye Yaoyao out of the palace, but the Empress Dowager often lets her enter the palace to accompany him."
Lu Lingzhi had been back in the capital for less than two days. He deliberately didn't inquire about Ye Yaoyao's news because he thought that she had become Mo Rongzhan's concubine. He didn't want Mo Rongzhan to know that he was paying attention to Ye Yaoyao, but he didn't expect to miss such important news.
"Ye Yaoyao … lives outside the palace?" Lu Lingzhi frowned. There wasn't even a reward?
Tang Zhen laughed. "This woman is not important. The most important thing is that Yaoyao is about to return to the capital. Maybe when she comes back, it will be the day of her wedding with the emperor."
Lu Lingzhi's eyes darkened. He would never marry Yaoyao to the emperor.
He had lost it once, and he didn't want to lose it a second time.
After sending Tang Zhen away, Lu Lingzhi hesitated in the study for a long time before finally deciding to find Lu Shiming.
Since Lu Wushuang was abolished, the status of the Lu family in the capital was somewhat subtle. Originally, it was not an aristocratic family. It was just a title conferred by virtue of Lu Wushuang, and because Lu Wushuang was once favored, it was unparalleled in the capital for a while. But in the end, the good times didn't last long. There were many people who looked down on the Lu family, and there were also many people who hit them when they were down. Therefore, with Lu Lingzhi's departure and Lu Yaoyao's disappearance, the Lu family became even more silent in the capital.
Fortunately, Old Madame Lu was a calm and far-sighted person. She ordered everyone in the Lu family to be careful about their own behavior and to go out as much as possible, so they didn't have to listen to many people's ridicule.
Lu Shiming was talking with the old madame in the room. He just learned the news of his daughter and immediately told the old madame so that she wouldn't worry about Yaoyao day and night.
"I said, Yaoyao will not be in danger with Mr. Huangfu." Old Madame Lu said with a smile.
If there was no danger, the emperor would not go to her in person! Lu Shiming was afraid that the old madame would worry, so he didn't tell the other truth. What's more, the fact that the emperor went to find Yaoyao was a secret. No one else in the court knew. If Yaoyao wasn't his daughter, the emperor would certainly not reveal it to him.
"He will be back in a few days. Now he is also in the capital. Our Lu family will be happy after suffering." Lu Shiming comforted Old Madame Lu. These days, the Lu family was in a panic. He saw it in his heart. Although he had tried to make everyone feel at ease, Lu Lingzhi's absence still felt like something was missing.
Old Madame Lu nodded with a smile. Now she didn't want the Lu family to be rich and powerful. As long as the children and grandchildren were safe and sound. As for whether Yaoyao could be the empress in the future, she felt that it was up to fate. There was no need to force it.
As they were talking, Lu Lingzhi came in from outside.
