Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 132;

"Perhaps you don't know, bro, that the great prince's grandfather is the current Zhen Guogong."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Kang was shocked.

The Lu family has lived in Jiangdong for a long time, and they don't know much about the power in the capital. They only know that the eldest prince is from the empress of the main palace, but they never know that the empress of the main palace is from the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

But they have heard of the prestige of the Duke of this town.

Especially more than ten years ago, he helped the current emperor seize the throne and stabilize the court, which left him with a terrible reputation.

That is a more terrifying and fierce existence than the Gao family.

The Gao family is all playing tricks, and they are more or less concerned about their own reputation, after all, they are the gentry behind them.

But Duke Zhen is different. His reputation has always been domineering and vicious.

With the military power of Dongzhou in your hands, do things straight and straightforward. If you are unhappy, you will directly suppress it blatantly, and you will not give the slightest chance at all.

Even if the Gao family almost destroyed the Lu family, if a Zhen Guo government is added to this, then the Lu family may not have enough lives for a hundred lives.

"It's just that I was not blinded by wealth for a while, and I never thought that there are many dangers in this place."

"It's a good thing Yaoyao is smart"

Mr. Lu was also shocked into a cold sweat.

Although wealth and splendor are good, you have to live to enjoy them.

"No, since sister Lu has already rejected it, why is it still spreading?"

Wen Miaomiao frowned and asked.

When she opened her mouth, everyone was taken aback.

And Lu Yaoyao has been thinking about this question since he answered it just now.

She was in the imperial study that day, but she took the risk and rejected Emperor Hongwen, and it stands to reason that this matter should be stopped here.

But now, only the first half of the story has been reported, and no one has mentioned the latter part.

Did Emperor Hongwen do it on purpose, or did the person who sent the message only hear the first half?

or
"Boss, daughter-in-law, what did you say after the news you heard?"

Wen Songtao turned to look at Su Shi.

"It's just that His Majesty offered the Lord of Wanfu Township to the Second Prince in the Royal Study Room, but he never said a word about his refusal afterwards."

Hearing this, Wen Songtao frowned, and his eyes were solemn.

"Girl Yaoyao, what do you think of this matter?"

Suddenly being named, Lu Yaoyao turned to look at Wen Songtao, seeing his solemn expression, it seemed that he also thought of something wrong.

"It can't be true, since I have clearly rejected it."

"I believe His Majesty will not persecute me. As for who the person behind him is and what their purpose is, I can't see it for the time being."

Wen Songtao nodded, he had served Emperor Hongwen for many years, and he was a confidant of the emperor, so he knew him somewhat.

Now that it has been rejected, Emperor Hongwen would never mention this matter again if there were no unavoidable events.

It's just that he couldn't understand who the person who spread the news was and what his purpose was.

"Grandpa Wen, don't worry about this, everyone."

"It's just a false rumor."

"I see that the dishes are getting cold, so let's eat first."

Although Lu Yaoyao said so, everyone was hiding something in his heart, and he was a little absent-minded after eating this meal.

After lunch, Mr. Lu sat down for a while, drank a cup of tea, and said goodbye to Wen Songtao.

Knowing something was going on, Wen Songtao didn't try to persuade him too much.

He personally took the family members to send the Lu family to the gate of the house.

"Father, Yaoyao's incident is quite strange. Do you think it's the one who got the news and did it on purpose?"

Watching the Lu family's carriage going away, Wen Xuan turned to look at his old man.

"Hard to say."

"The position of the prince is pending, and some people will always think about it."

Wen Songtao shook his head, turned around and entered the mansion with his hands behind his back.

"Cousin, I still haven't figured it out. Isn't it great to marry into the royal family?"

"And it was His Majesty who offered the marriage in person. What an honor, why did you refuse it?"

In the carriage, Lu Mingxi looked confused.

She is just a young lady raised in a deep boudoir, and it is the first time she comes to the capital, so she is very ignorant of the outside world and the affairs of the capital.

This marriage that others can't even dream of, why doesn't my cousin like it?

"It's great to be able to marry into the royal family, but there are some things that can't just be seen on the surface."

"There are no outsiders in this car, so I'll explain it to my cousin."

Lu Yaoyao first introduced the current situation of the royal family to Lu Mingxi, as well as the situation of the empress and Duke Zhen after the eldest prince.

"Duke Zhen Guo has been asking the emperor to appoint a crown prince recently."

"But His Majesty didn't know why he didn't nod for a long time."

"As for the things I offered some time ago, my cousin should know a little bit, right?"

Lu Mingxi nodded again and again. Lu Yaoyao and Lu Kang had already explained this in detail.

When everything is promoted, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

"Because of these things, I can gain a lot of reputation among the people."

"These prestige is not very useful to us, but to some people in the royal family, it is really needed."

"Cousin should be able to understand?"

Lu Mingxi pondered for a while, then nodded slowly. Although she didn't think clearly, she could more or less understand the general idea.

"Your Majesty has not made the eldest prince the crown prince for a long time, and now he has the intention to marry me to the second prince."

"You mean, the emperor wants to establish a second prince?"

Lu Mingxi asked in a daze.

"No, it's hard to say who will be appointed, but if the eldest prince wants to get this seat easily, he will definitely not be as sure as the folklore says."

"Think about it again, if I agree to His Majesty's offer of marriage, it will be equivalent to joining the camp of the Second Prince. What will the First Prince's faction do?"

There is no need to ask, isn't it obvious that they want to confront each other.

Seeing her understanding, Lu Yaoyao continued; "Since ancient times, imperial power struggles have been full of bloody battles."

"Isn't it tantamount to courting death if I get involved?"

"And it will also implicate the Lu family."

"Our Gao family has not been resolved yet, and another eldest prince, empress, and Duke Zhen's mansion come, what will be the result?"

Now Lu Mingxi understood completely.

He also turned pale with fright.

"It turns out that there are so many dangers here, it's because my cousin is smart."

"What kind of cleverness is that? It's just being cautious and just wanting to save my own life."

Hearing this, Lu Mingxi turned to look at her, thinking of her cousin, who was lonely since she was a child, and surrounded by rich wolves, if she was not smart and cautious, how could she survive to this day.

"Cousin, you suffered in the past, but you will definitely get better in the future."

She stretched out her hand to hold Lu Yaoyao's hand, her voice was very gentle.

"Well, we'll be fine in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage that was driving stopped suddenly, and both of them swayed due to inertia.

Lu Mingxi slammed into the car even more heavily, and let out a dull cry of pain.

"Cousin, are you okay, did you hit there?"

After stabilizing his figure, Lu Yaoyao hurried to help Lu Mingxi.

"I'm fine, I just touched it."
