Chapter 203: Not Changing

As if sensing the anxiety and uneasiness conveyed by Lu Qing's pinch, Zhu Yu finally spoke.

However, Lu Qing did not wait for an answer, but heard Zhu Yu next to him throw another question: "Suppose, you and Lu Chao's plan is implemented very smoothly, and finally it is successful and becomes a great thing.

By then, will you think that I am no longer useful, just an unloved concubine of the Shuo Kingdom prince, not a good match for you at that time, so you will kick me out and find another woman who is more worthy of your status and position and more suitable to be the Princess of Xiaoyao?"

"No." Lu Qing answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation. "As long as there is Prince Xiaoyao in this world, the Princess Xiaoyao can only be you. This has nothing to do with the imperial decree granting the marriage."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu firmly grasped the back of Lu Qing's hand with two fingers and twisted it. "If that's the case, why is it that you, Your Highness, are a noble and upright gentleman who is loyal to his wife, while in your eyes, I am a treacherous person who abandoned his allies in times of crisis and jumped ship to escape?"

Lu Qing was stunned. He felt that she was really angry, otherwise she would not have gritted her teeth and deliberately spoken respectfully to him.

"If, regardless of the final victory or defeat, you do not choose someone else to be Princess Xiaoyao, I have no intention of finding another husband."

The piece of flesh on the back of his hand that was pinched was twisted painfully by Zhu Yu, but Lu Qing felt an indescribable sense of security in his heart, and even his mood became better, as if he was suddenly fed a big mouthful of rock honey, and he felt so light that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

He waited until Zhu Yu loosened her grip before he took her hand in his palm and said, "Okay, no change, no change at all."

Zhu Yu tried to pull his hand away several times, but failed to break free from Lu Qing's grip, so he gave up.

Neither of them said anything else. They just sat there quietly in the darkness, but they both had the answer in their hearts.

That night, Zhu Yu slept particularly peacefully and comfortably. It was the first time she had lived so comfortably since she left Xiaoyao Palace.

Or maybe it was because she finally knew the reason why Lu Qing didn't tell her many things before, because he didn't want to implicate herself too much. Now that things have been talked about, the two of them have a common goal, which makes her more relaxed. So she had a dreamless night. When she woke up, Lu Qing had already gotten up and had just put on the fake skin on his face. Even hers was ready, just waiting for her to get up.

Zhu Yu quickly sat up and rubbed his eyes: "Did I get up too late?"

"That's fine. Yan Daoxin said it wouldn't hurt to let Pang Yuzhen wait a little longer, so she wouldn't take him, a miracle doctor, less seriously." Lu Qing signaled Zhu Yu not to rush. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhu Yu nodded and couldn't help yawning again.

Lu Qing looked at her, his pupils shimmering with a soft light. He waved at Zhu Yu, motioning her to sit at the table, and helped her put on her clean Taoist robe over her undergarment. "It's still a bit cold in the mornings and evenings in the Shuo Land. Don't catch a cold."

After saying that, he began to help Zhu Yu stick fake skin on her face.

Zhu Yu closed her eyes and felt Lu Qing's gentle fingers. The fake leather was a little cold when it touched her face, which made her get goose bumps all over her body.

But even though her eyes were closed, she could clearly feel Lu Qing's eyes painting her face like a paintbrush.

When Lu Qing stopped moving, Zhu Yu opened her eyes and met his deep, dark gaze, which made her heart tremble violently. "Hey, are you two done?" Yan Daoxin's voice came from outside. "I just asked Fu Lu to ask the servants waiting outside. They said that Zhu Yu's mother is still in the main house, helping Princess Shuo with her morning makeup. She hasn't left yet.

From what they said, Prince Shuo never told Princess Shuo about their joint consultation for Zhu Yu's mother.

We're going there at the perfect time. We can maintain the proper dignity and not bring too much disgrace to my master and my reputation, but we also won't have to wait too long for Princess Shuo to find a pretext to send Zhu Yu's mother away."

"We're ready too." Zhu Yu responded quickly, quickly gathered his hair with both hands, put on his Taoist robe and walked out.

Lu Qing followed her closely.

Fortunately, he had fake skin on his face, so Zhu Yu didn't have to worry that Yan Daoxin would notice his unnatural expression and make fun of him.

Fortunately, Yan Daoxin didn't notice anything. He looked at the disguised effects of Zhu Yu and Lu Qing and was very satisfied: "You have to say, Lu Qing's skills are quite good.

If I hadn't seen you two like this before, I would have been really scared when I saw you coming out of this room just now! "

The three of them left the Li Garden and followed the servants of Prince Shuo's Mansion who were guarding outside and did not dare to disturb them, to the Zhu Garden - the courtyard where Zhu Cheng and Pang Yuzhen lived.

When he got outside, in front of outsiders, Yan Daoxin stopped chattering in private, pursed his thin lips slightly, and had a cold and handsome face. He immediately gave off a sense of aloofness and otherworldliness.

The servants didn't know the origins of these Taoists, but they knew that they were no ordinary people to be arranged to live in Liyuan. Even the prince went to chat with them until late at night as soon as he returned to the mansion the day before, and the steward was also very respectful to them, which further strengthened the servants' speculation.

In this way, the three people were brought to the door of the main house of the garden, where several maids who were not good-looking but had extremely arrogant expressions were standing at the door.

The servants who led the way were all elders in the palace, but when they saw the maids at the door, they politely stopped and said to them, "The miracle doctor invited by the prince has arrived. Please tell the princess if it is convenient to let him in now."

One of the maids, who was dark and strong, frowned and looked at Yan Daoxin, then looked at the two young Taoist priests behind him who looked well-behaved and unremarkable. Probably because Yan Daoxin's temperament and appearance were too confusing, she didn't feel comfortable to show off, so she nodded and turned to go in.

After a while, he came back, nodded to Yan Daoxin, turned around and walked in with the three of them.

After passing a screen, there was a round table with carved rosewood. A sickly-looking middle-aged woman in fancy clothes was sitting there with a frown and closed eyes, supporting her forehead with one hand on the edge of the table.

Behind her stood a woman of similar age, but she was dressed much more simply, had a thin figure, and a slightly yellowish complexion. She was massaging the shoulders of the woman in front of her.

Zhu Yu quietly looked at the two people.

Needless to say, the person sitting there was Pang Yuzhen.

The person rubbing her shoulders behind her was Zhu Yu's mother, Miao.
