Chapter 92: Kinship Responsibility
Cangtao's voice was very calm: "He dreamed that you would marry him?" β
Lin Yu glanced at his expression, but the night was dim, and she couldn't see clearly.
Naturally, she would not reveal Zhu Rongzhan's abolition, but said, "Yes." β
"You also dreamed that you were married to him?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I seem to have dreamed of the same thing."
The memory of Zhu Rongzhan's life, although the only people who know it, Lin Yu and Li Ying, there are enough of them. Lin Yu felt that it was better to tell Cang Tao generously than to conceal it, and then insist that he had only dreamed of Zhu Rongzhan to avoid Cang Tao's possible self-explosion.
In case he also wants to talk about his past life in a dream, Lin Yu can directly say "How can there be so many dreams in this world" to refuse to believe it, pretending that he is deceiving people.
Cang Tao looked at her: "He said it was fate, so what about you?" Do you feel the same way? β
"I just thought it was amazing. However, the ending between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the dream was not good. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Maybe I was too deep in the dream, and I felt that with the guidance of the dream, I would definitely be happy in reality, but I thought, maybe this is the prince's ancestor reminding him that he shouldn't go down with me. β
"Well," Cang Tao sneered and nodded, "I think so, too." Zhu Rongzhan should have mistaken the revelation from heaven. His dream should have kept him away from you, but he wanted to go against the sky and find trouble for himself. β
ββ¦β¦ It's not that serious. β
"You should have been meant to be me. Have you only dreamed of him, but not of me? β
Lin Yu said in his heart, is it really here?
She deliberately showed a look of displeasure and annoyance and said: "I have never been masked with the King of Beirong, and I have never known each other before, how could I dream of Your Excellency?" Could it be that the king of Beirong also wants to say that he had a dream? β
Unexpectedly, he was not worried that he would be recognized as a liar by her, and was very direct: "Yes, I dreamed of you." β
Lin Yu shook his head: "King Beirong, don't just hear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a dream, so he imitates this kind of prodigal joke. This kind of magical thing is very rare once. β
Cangtao looked at her deeply. "Perhaps, the time has not yet come. Heaven watches over us, and even if you haven't dreamed it now, you will always dream it in the future. β
Lin Yu said lightly: "If I have to dream about everyone in the world, I can't dream of it." And you should have heard it on the beam at the time, I said, I already have someone I like. β
"That eldest son of the Li family?"
"Yes."
Cang Tao snorted lightly, and said proudly: "Even if it is the prince of Da Tu, this king doesn't take it seriously, let alone an eldest son?" Even if Zhu Rongzhan is willing to fulfill you, it is because of his so-called 'fate', which is just that, the destiny is mine, not him. β
Lin Yu sighed and looked away.
They are all uncles, one is more than the other. One is more arrogant than the other. This also has a superstitious bonus, which is more determined and convinced, and it is not easy to convince.
"Don't sigh," Cang Tao said, "Zhu Rongzhan has decided to give up on you, isn't this a good thing for you?" β
Lin Yu was stunned: "He decided to give up?" How do you know? β
"You left me on the beam of the house and left by yourself," Cang Tao said: "Zhu Rongzhan has been sitting below, and it didn't take long for someone to come looking for him." Zhu Rongzhan called him uncle. β
Zhu Rongzhan's uncle, Lin Yu thought, is the current prime minister Wushou. Is he finally ready to intervene?
Cang Tao said: "That old guy...... It looks gray-haired, but he has enough energy, and he is deafening when he speaks. β
Thinking of the scene at that time, he showed a shallow smile on his face that he had seen a good show: "As soon as he came in, he saw Zhu Rongzhan sitting there, and said with a straight face, 'The minister wants to ask His Highness, is it the position of the prince that is important, or is it a woman who is important!'" ββ
β¦β¦
After Lin Yu left, Zhu Rongzhan sat in place, just silently looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Cangtao on the beam was thinking about how long this guy was going to sit here, and in the next second, someone knocked on the door of the box, it was the one-armed guard beside Zhu Rongzhan: "Your Highness...... The black phase is coming. β
When Zhu Rongzhan heard the voice, he turned his face to look at the door with a blank face.
In the next second, the door was pushed open.
An old man who was over half a hundred years old walked in with a frosty face, Zhu Rongzhan came back to his senses, subconsciously stood up, and said a little cramped: "Uncle, why are you here?" β
"If I don't come, do I want to watch you destroy your future and cut yourself off from the court!?" Wu Shou walked in front of Zhu Rongzhan with an angry face and saw two teacups on the table. "Now that there are many discussions among civil and military officials, you still have a private meeting with the Lin family?! The minister wants to ask His Royal Highness, is it the position of the prince that is important, or is it a woman who is important! β
Zhu Rongzhan's face showed a hint of pain, he rolled up his sleeves, personally poured a cup of tea for him, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, sit down and talk." β
Although they are uncles and nephews, they are also monarchs and ministers. Zhu Rongzhan poured tea in person with the respect of the prince, and although Wu Shou still had a straight face, he couldn't help but admit it.
He sighed heavily and sat down in Lin Yu's previous position.
He said bitterly: "Your Highness, what do you think? Then the Lin family and the eldest son of the Li family are in love, why do you have to bear the infamy of taking his wife from his ministers?! Now that you are investigating Tang Chun's case, but you have run away from the thief, do you know how many people privately suspect that Tang Chun may not have gone out from the Star Gate, but you planted the blame on the head of the eldest son of the Li family? ! The fourth and third princes of the Li family, protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, if you do this, you will lose the hearts of the people! Concubine Li has another son, and now she is still young, you occupy the position of the eldest son, and you should be a brother and brother, but you are so targeted at the Li family, doesn't it make people think that you are afraid of a young child, narrow-minded, and can't tolerate others? β
Zhu Rongzhan listened silently.
"Now, the Lin clan is involved in Beirong again! The Son of Heaven may want to marry her off, do you have to oppose the Son of Heaven at that time?! As the crown prince, you don't put national affairs first, and you chase a woman all day long, what do you want the Son of Heaven to think?! What do you want to think of the officials?! What do you want the people of the world to think!? Before, you refused to fulfill the Li family, and the Son of Heaven didn't say anything, but you are so ignorant of the general situation, you have to compete with the courtiers and be jealous, will the Son of Heaven be happy when he sees it in his eyes!? Even if you get your wish in the end and marry the daughter of the Lin family as the crown princess, will the Son of Heaven and the queen be satisfied with you and her?! She married you, will she be happy again? β
Zhu Rongzhan lowered his eyes, he was already very good-looking, and he always looked like a radiant and fierce appearance, his complexion was burning, and his eyebrows and eyes were depressed and lost at the moment, which was more heart-wrenching and pitiful than ordinary people.
Seeing him like this, Wu Shou paused, and involuntarily softened his tone, "Your Highness, you were rebellious and willful before, which made me worried, not long ago I said that I was taught by the ancestors in a dream, and I learned that I was lost, the Son of Heaven, the Queen, and I, we are all very happy, but why have we relapsed in recent days, and even worsened?" If the Lin girl is really suitable for you, she should make you better, not like she is now...... It's disappointing for you like this! β
"As your uncle, I will rebuke you, and as a courtier, I will admonish you. You are the crown prince, but throughout the ages, there have been countless princes, but not every one of them can successfully ascend the throne! Do you know what happened to the deposed prince? Do you know what happened to the woman whose son was the crown prince but did not ascend the throne as emperor in the end?! You have great power, but don't forget your responsibility! Think of your mother! Even-Your Highness, I beg you to think about the Wu family! β
"I don't want the Wu family to be prosperous forever, I just want my children to at least live a safe life, but I am your uncle, and we are the prince's foreign family! If you can't become the emperor, we will be like chickens and dogs, we can be manipulated by others, and we can't resist by raiding our homes and exterminating our families. You can act recklessly now, but do you know how many people's lives and deaths can be involved with every move?! Except for the daughter of the Lin family, your mother, and your other relatives and dependents are not worth mentioning, not worth your bothering to bless and protect them, and not worth your efforts?! β
In the end, Wu Shou almost burst into tears.
The room was silent, except for the old man's mournful crying.
After a while, Zhu Rongzhan said in a dry voice: "Uncle thinks, what should I do?" β
Wu Shou immediately didn't care about the tears, and immediately decided: "Your Highness, please tell the Son of Heaven immediately, and say that you have decided to marry the Luo girl!" β
