Chapter 132: No Talent, No Virtue

"You should still remember what Lu Ze said to me before leaving." There was a hint of amusement in Lu Qing's tone.

Zhu Yu didn't say anything, he just felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart and spreading to every part of his body.

Yan Daoxin met up with them halfway and had no idea what had happened before. He looked even more confused now.

He looked at Lu Qing, then at Zhu Yu, and waited for a long time. He saw that both of them were silent, but seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, a little gloomy, which made him more anxious.

"I say..." He waved his hand in front of the two of them, "You two are so in tune with each other. If Master knew about this, he would probably feel very relieved.

But...can you at least consider my feelings a little bit?

What on earth is there that I don't know? Listening to you two talking is like playing a game of charades!"

"Before I left, Prince Shu Lu Ze came to my house and told me something." Lu Qing didn't tease Yan Daoxin at this moment. Instead of joking with him, he said to him solemnly, "Lu Zhang took the initiative to ask for permission from the emperor. Before I left, he had already rushed to the border between Jin and Shuo to inspect for the emperor."

Yan Daoxin was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he was quite familiar with Lu Zhang. He couldn't help but show disgust and spat: "Bah, why is he everywhere all day long! When I think of him, I don't even feel annoyed by those wheat pancakes!"

This earned Lu Qing a helpless smile, but Zhu Yu was a little confused and asked doubtfully, "Why is that?"

Yan Daoxin waved his hand in disdain: "Because he's uglier than a whole wheat pancake!"

Zhu Yu didn't expect to get such an explanation, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Really? I'm telling you, when you married into this family, Lu Zhang was already an adult, and he was probably acting like a decent, righteous man.

When the emperor went to Shanqing Temple to pay homage and took Lu Qing back with him, that guy actually followed him. When he arrived in front of the master, he tried every means to show himself, hoping that the master would think he was a genius and accept him as a disciple like he did with Lu Qing.

Fortunately, Master had a sharp gaze and didn't respond at all. I still remember the anger he felt when he left!"

Of course, Zhu Yu didn't know that such an incident had happened in the past, but when she thought about Lu Zhang's performance during those few appearances, as well as the status of Lu Qing and Yan Daoxin's master, Qiyunshanren, in Emperor Jin's mind, she didn't find it surprising at all.

"However, I am a little curious. Was it his own idea to become a disciple, or was it his clever grandfather's idea?" she said to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing lowered his eyes and chuckled twice. It was obvious that Zhu Yu had the right answer to this question again.

"You two are really generous!" Yan Daoxin had just casually mentioned the past incident of Lu Zhangduo causing trouble for others, but he didn't expect the two of them to start chatting. "Lu Zhang went to the border between Jin Kingdom and Shuo Kingdom to inspect. Could it be that he really had the good intention of helping his father share the government affairs?
Now, the officials in the Lizhou camp who have been poisoned have also been infected with the poisonous substance unique to Lai Jiao. Isn't it obvious that someone is setting a trap to bury you?"

"Indeed there is, but it may not be Lu Zhang." Lu Qing shook his head, signaling Yan Daoxin to stay calm.

"Who else could it be but him?!" Yan Daoxin felt that Lu Qing's brain must have been exhausted. How could he say such a foolish thing? "If it wasn't him, how could such a coincidence happen? How come he happened to be out on border patrol when he happened to encounter Lai Jiao, who is related to Shuo State, among the strange things happening in the Lizhou camp?" "Don't just think about Lai Jiao. Who told us about Feng Shen and Wu Yukou just now?" Lu Qing saw that he still didn't understand and felt a little helpless. "Even if you keep traveling around, you will eventually hear about who the emperor has arranged the marriage of the famous King Yi with, right?"

"Of course I know. It's the Jie Kingdom princess... Oh...!" Yan Daoxin finally came to his senses and grinned. "So, it's not really him who's doing the bad. At least two of the three poisonous weeds are from the Jie Kingdom. His new bride, his in-laws... Tsk tsk tsk, he can't even remove them all!"

Zhu Yu looked at Yan Daoxin, who had just realized the truth, and suddenly said to Lu Qing, "Now I know why you are my senior brother."

Lu Qing laughed out loud. Yan Daoxin knew that Zhu Yu was laughing at his lack of understanding, but he had no choice but to accept it. He stretched out his hand and nodded towards Lu Qing and Zhu Yu: "Okay, okay, you two are of the same mind, I can't argue with you!

But I have a question for you, please don’t worry.”

He said the following sentence to Zhu Yu, who nodded, indicating that he could say whatever he wanted.

"People outside say that the daughter that Prince Shuo Zhucheng sent to marry was an unwelcome concubine...Are you sure your father never harbored any ulterior motives?" Yan Daoxin asked, "After all, knowing both yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Your father never harbored any ulterior motives. So, Lu Qing's response is one way to deal with it. If your father had some thoughts of his own, then this might be another way to deal with him.

What if he had deliberately agreed to the marriage arranged by the emperor, pretended to be submissive to lull the emperor into submission, and then randomly picked a concubine who was not valued to marry him, and then planned to rebel when the time was right..."

Having said that, without waiting for Lu Qing and Zhu Yu to react, Yan Daoxin paused and waved his hand, repudiating his own opinion: "No, no...

Your skill in autopsy is so good that I guess you're almost there, if not one in a million!
With a daughter like this, Zhu Cheng would have to be crazy to send her to Jin State. If he were to cause trouble again, the loss would be too great! "

Zhu Yu remained silent. She knew very well in her heart that Zhu Cheng had no idea of ​​her abilities. Given Zhu Cheng's personality, if he really knew that she had such courage and means, he might not dare to marry her to the Xiaoyao Palace.

After all, in Zhu Cheng's opinion, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, otherwise she will easily get into trouble outside.

In his mind, the greatest quality of a good woman is that she should not cause trouble for men.

From this perspective, although Yan Daoxin and Lu Qing are very different in every aspect, both in character and appearance, they are indeed brothers from the same school - both of them unanimously concluded that her ability to perform autopsies is a rare skill.

Seeing Zhu Yu's silence, Lu Qing had no idea what she was feeling at the moment and thought Yan Daoxin's words had caused her to worry: "Why? You have feelings for your father, are you still unsure?"
