Huang Yudie's death once again hit Yu Yuqian hard. In the course of a day, two of her closest people died one after another, and one was missing. Now she's alone. Although she is not dead, she feels that God has abandoned her, and she does not know how to live her life in the future.

After cremating Huang Yudie and Liu Ziming, Yu Ren gently said to Yu Yuqian, "Come with me!" ”

Yu Yuqian obediently followed Yu Ren, and the man in front of her has now become her only motivation and hope to live. Without him, she really didn't know what the point of living was there.

Everyone cleaned up the battlefield, set up a few graves for the dead on the island, and went to Yanzhou with Lu Yue.

King Lu received Yu Ren ceremoniously, and then held a banquet in the palace. After the banquet, King Lu wrote a letter exposing Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, assassinating the heroes, and being jealous of his talents, and he wanted to write to Yu Ren to ask for credit. Because Yu Ren did not have fame and official position, King Lu was afraid that the court would not use him, so he specially wrote a letter to Zhao Nanxing, praising Yu Ren as an immortal talent in the sky and on the earth, and a general star who only comes out once in five hundred years.

Of course, King Lu also heard about the relationship between Yu Ren and Zhao Nanxing, and also heard Yu Ren talk about the unhappiness of the two of them in the past. But King Lu thinks that it must be a family, and no matter how unpleasant things are, it has been so long, and no matter how angry they are, they should be gone. Therefore, King Lu was very sure to order people to send these letters to the capital.

"In less than half a month, you will no longer be clothed. At the very least, it has to be a town commander. King Lu patted Yu Ren on the shoulder and said with confidence.

Yu Ren did not refuse King Lu's kindness, but in his heart he did not believe that the imperial court would appoint him. If Zhao Nanxing is not here, maybe it's okay. But with this stubborn old man, Yu Ren knew that this hope was still very slim. From Zhao Rui, Yu Ren heard a lot of things about Zhao Nanxing, and he knew. The old man was notoriously stubborn, and the last thing he could tolerate was for his own children to enter officialdom through his connections. In the officialdom, if there are his own children, not only will he not promote them by the way, but he will even deliberately suppress them.

However, for those of his disciples and protégés, he had a completely opposite attitude. For these disciples and protégés, Zhao Nanxing has always spared no effort to promote them, help them, and even be willing to act as their protective umbrella.

Yu Ren didn't know what to say about Old Man Zhao's stubbornness. But there was one thing he couldn't help but admire, at least the old man had never worked for his family. Compared with those mainstream officialdom who think that they are seeking personal interests for themselves and their families, Old Man Zhao's performance makes everyone can't bear to blame him no matter what kind of wrong things he does.

After finishing his business, King Lu sent the clerk away, leaving only Yu Ren and him in the study.

Yu Ren knew that King Lu must have something to say to him, and he vaguely guessed something, but he didn't want to take the initiative to mention it.

Sure enough, after King Lu sent the secretary away, he took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and then said to Yu Ren, "There is a private matter, I have always held it in my heart and did not talk about it. Now, it's time to speak up. ”

Yu Ren didn't have an interface, he had already guessed what King Lu was going to talk about, but he pretended not to know, because he also felt that this fact was a headache.

"Actually, there's one thing I've never been honest with you." Speaking of this, King Lu took a sip of tea fiercely, and then said as if he had made up his mind, "Lu Yue is actually my daughter, and the emperor once canonized her as the lord of Mochizuki." Her full name is Zhu Yueyue. ”

Yu Ren still didn't speak, just nodded.

Although King Lu felt that as a prince, he had to deign to take the initiative to speak to Yu Ren, an unofficial and tasteless boy, for the sake of his daughter's marriage. But he hinted at it many times, but this kid always pretended not to know, he just mentioned it himself.

For the happiness of his daughter, compared with his own face, King Lu finally chose his daughter's happiness.

"Yueyue's mother was one of my former servants. From beginning to end, she failed to marry into our Zhu family. Although I have married several princesses, she is the only one I really love. ”

When King Lu said this, his face showed infinite tenderness.

"Then why don't you marry her?" Yu Ren asked puzzled.

"When I wanted to marry her, my father was still alive at the time, and my father strongly objected, thinking that Yueyue's mother was humble and could not marry into our Zhu family. In order to dispel this thought, my father ordered someone to quietly send Yueyue's mother out of the palace.

But at that time, she was actually pregnant with my child.

Although I tried my best, I didn't find out the whereabouts of Yueyue's mother.

It wasn't until my father passed away that I finally found their mother and daughter and took them back to my own mansion, when I was still King Changde. I wanted to make up for what their mother and daughter had lost over the years. However, Yueyue's mother became seriously ill the day after returning to the palace, and finally fell ill. Soon he left me and Yueyue and left alone. ”

When Zhu Shouhong, the king of Lu, said this, he sighed.

Yu Ren originally thought that Zhu Yueyue was a daughter who had been pampered in the palace since she was a child, but she didn't expect her life experience to be so tortuous, no wonder she followed her for a while and suffered a lot, but she didn't complain at all.

After listening to King Lu's narration, Yu Ren couldn't help but ask curiously, "Since the rise of Wang Xue in our dynasty, hasn't the former kind of respect and humility and Confucianism been diluted a lot?" Why does the old prince still care so much about the identity of one of your concubines? ”

Zhu Shouhong sighed, "My father was a bad party in my grandfather's life, and his reputation was bad, and he almost removed the title for the emperor. After he was enthroned, his father tried his best to change the impression of the people and the court on King Lu, so he sold the palace property many times to support the poor.

Although I have done so many good deeds, I know very well that my father actually dislikes these poor people in his heart. He did this only because of the pressure left over from his grandfather's evil deeds. So, the more good deeds he does, the more he hates those poor people.

But the father is afraid of being denounced, and he is still very good to the people under him on the surface. It's just that inside, he asks us to absolutely draw a line of separation from these subordinates. This is also the root of why he is so opposed to me marrying Yueyue's mother as a concubine. ”

Yu Ren stopped talking. It seems that this old King Lu is actually just a poor worm. His contempt for his subordinates was only to preserve his dignity as a prince. And Zhu Yueyue and her mother are the tragic products of this mentality.

"Yueyue has lived with her mother since she was a child and has suffered a lot. So, I hope she can be happy in the future. That's why I never married her off.

Perhaps, you've heard about it too. At the beginning, I took a fancy to Li Rubai's son Li Xianzhong.

At that time, I thought that this kid was dashing and had a good family background, and if Yueyue married him, he would definitely be very happy. Although Yueyue herself does not approve of this family business, I still plan to make this matter a priority.

But then Li Rubai had an accident. I quickly stopped it. Fortunately, I haven't finalized this matter yet, otherwise it would have really hurt Yueyue.

After going through this, I figured it out too. Yueyue's marriage, in the end, has to let her choose. I can only refer to it as a reference. The choices I made for her were unlikely to make her happy in the end.

So, I ...... Leaving you today.

……”

When King Lu said this, he really couldn't go on. He must be a prince after all, and if he wants to take the initiative to beg Yu Ren, this kid, to marry his daughter, he still can't open his mouth. He can only keep hinting. I hope that Yu Ren will come to his senses one day and take the initiative to raise the matter with him. And today, he felt that he had made his words obvious enough.

But Yu Ren still pretended not to understand. "Ah......h

When King Lu saw Yu Ren's reaction, he flicked his sleeves angrily. Walked away without saying a word.

Seeing that King Lu was gone, Yu Ren also followed him and slowly walked out of the study. "I can't help it!" Yu Ren shouted in his heart. A beauty like Zhu Yueyue is liked by everyone, but liking and love are two different things! Like can be as simple as doing nothing and not being responsible. But love is responsible.

"If you don't have to be responsible for me, I'll take your daughter in, it doesn't matter!" Brother Yu Renzhu's thoughts.

Of course, he had already seen that King Lu wanted to marry his daughter to him, but he had already married two, and if he wanted to marry another one, it would be a bit unusual. What's more, this Zhu Yueyue is still a county lord. If you really marry her, then Li Ying and Zhao Rui can only retire to the concubine position. This is unacceptable to Yu Ren.

Yu Ren lowered his head, walked out of the prince's study, and was about to go out to return to his residence, when he saw a man in his fifties suddenly walk out of the courtyard on the side.
