Chapter 428: The Emperor's Arrival
Chapter 428: The Emperor's Arrival
Meng Qianqian decided to follow Yan Madam to the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion.
Chen Long's expression turned sour.
After coming out once, his sister had been taken away by someone else. Who could understand this feeling?
"I'm going too."
Chen Long said.
Yan Madam replied, "I'm not even happy to bring her alone."
Meng Qianqian was also worried that if Chen Long went to the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, he might not be able to resist the urge to confront Gongsun Yanming for revenge.
She repeated her previous words, "You can seek revenge, but you must not destroy everything."
Gongsun Yanming didn't have the face to take a life for a life.
"Brother, you should return to the Yu Family."
Chen Long didn't want to go back.
"The Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion is very dangerous." He looked at Yan Madam with a complicated expression, "I don't trust her."
Yan Madam was once again surprised by the siblings, "If I wanted to harm her, I wouldn't have helped her just now. And were you pretending when you thanked me earlier?"
Chen Long spoke solemnly, "I thanked you because you lent a helping hand, but that doesn't mean I trust you. Who knows what your intentions are?"
Yan Madam rolled her eyes, "You should know that she's insisting on going."
Chen Long had no words to refute.
He turned to Meng Qianqian, "Why do you insist on going to the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion?"
Meng Qianqian hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth, "I feel like going there might help me regain my memories."
If Meng Qianqian had given reasons like gathering information or protecting Shang Wuyou, Chen Long could have argued, but regarding the matter of regaining her memories, he had no way to stop her.
"Are you done discussing? I'm hungry!"
Yan Madam impatiently rolled her eyes several times.
"Brother, I'll be careful."
Living a second life, she wouldn't let herself die without understanding the reason.
She shook the Divine Maiden's token in her hand.
This was to show Chen Long that she had the protective charm given by Liuying, and in a desperate situation, she would abandon her mission to protect her life.
Yan Madam spoke sternly, "Let me be clear, if you go to the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion and cause trouble, don't expect me to save you again."
Meng Qianqian nodded in understanding, "I know."
Yan Madam took Meng Qianqian to the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion.
Meng Qianqian looked at the Anji Hospital, which was now guarded by even more officials, and asked, "Should we go and greet my senior sister, whom I've never met before?"
Yan Madam replied calmly, "If you want to join the commotion, go ahead."
Meng Qianqian started walking.
"Come back!"
Yan Madam gritted her teeth.
Meng Qianqian innocently returned to her side, "What's wrong? You told me to go."
Yan Madam said, "A couple is there helping the injured, and you want to join in? My disciples are not so ignorant of the rules."
Meng Qianqian sighed.
She just wanted to take the opportunity to see the National Guardian Qilin.
Yan Madam led Meng Qianqian onto the carriage.
Meanwhile, after Lu Yuan learned from Yu Zichuan that Meng Qianqian was going to Safehaven Hospital to meet Tan'er, he immediately headed there.
But that fool Yu Zichuan gave Lu Yuan the wrong directions.
They went in the opposite direction, heading east of the city.
"This seems to be... Safehaven Hospital," Yu Zichuan said, emphasizing each word.
Lu Yuan pointed at the signboard above, "I see it! Yu Zichuan, are you doing this on purpose?"
Yu Zichuan thought about it and chose the latter, as it sounded smarter.
In any case, he would never admit to being foolish.
Lu Yuan was so angry he felt like punching someone.
This time, Lu Yuan didn't let Yu Zichuan lead the way anymore, "You go your way, I'll go mine."
However, when they finally reached Safehaven Hospital, Meng Qianqian had already left with Yan Madam to return to the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion.
Seeing Lu Yuan's face turn ashen with anger, Chen Long's gloomy heart suddenly cleared up.
Lu Yuan, his face dark, stepped out of the courtyard.
At that moment, Lu Qi also emerged from Safehaven Hospital.
Having finished his medical consultations for the children and ordinary citizens, Lu Qi escorted Gongsun Liuying, who wore a veil, to her carriage, adhering to etiquette and displaying elegant manners.
One a National Guardian Qilin and the other Heaven's Chosen Daughter, who wouldn't praise them as a divine couple upon seeing them?
"Hmph!"
Lu Yuan scoffed and swaggered over to Lu Qi's carriage.
"Can I hitch a ride? Won't you mind?" he asked.
A group of officials immediately swarmed around Lu Yuan, surrounding him.
Without even twitching an eyelid, Lu Yuan said, "Are you that petty?"
The original text can be found at Book 9@Book/Bar!
Lu Qi resisted the impulse to lose his temper and said to the officials, "All of you, step back."
"Yes, Marquis," they replied.
The crowd retreated to the side.
Lu Qi turned to Lu Yuan and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Yuan replied nonchalantly, "Nothing much. Just killing time and strolling around."
Lu Qi furrowed his brows.
He didn't want Lu Yuan to get on the carriage. But if he left Lu Yuan here, he didn't know what kind of trouble Lu Yuan might cause after returning to the Crown Prince's Mansion.
"Get on the carriage," Lu Qi said.
Lu Yuan climbed into the carriage without the slightest courtesy.
Lu Qi took a deep look at Lu Yuan and then boarded the carriage as well.
He sat across from Lu Yuan and asked sternly, "Who exactly are you?"
"Didn't my father tell you?" Lu Yuan asked.
Lu Qi stared at Lu Yuan without blinking, "My father said you were an old acquaintance, but when you entered the mansion, you clearly claimed to be his son. So, which one is the truth?"
Lu Yuan hooked his lips into a smirk, "Which one do you want to be true?"
Lu Qi narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Whether you are my father's son or not, I don't mind having another sibling."
Lu Yuan laughed, "I prefer you call me Mr. Lu."
Lu Qi paused before saying, "If you're willing to stay in the mansion as a strategist, when I hold power in the future, there will definitely be a place for you in the Imperial Court."
Lu Yuan's laughter grew, "Thanks."
Lu Qi had been asking questions for a long time, but Lu Yuan's responses were as tight as a drum, and even his attitude was hard to read.
"Are you the Crown Prince's biological son?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked.
Lu Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of alarm, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yuan replied casually, "Just asking. No need to be so tense. What's real can't be fake, and what's fake can't be made fake. What do you think?"
Lu Qi asked coldly, "Are you questioning my lineage?"
Lu Yuan looked at him askance, "Can't I?"
Lu Qi said coldly, "I advise you not to overestimate yourself. I am the only prince of Great Liang. Questioning me is questioning the entire Great Liang Imperial Family. Even if my father protects you, he has superiors, including the Emperor. With a single word from him, no one can guarantee your safety."
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered.
Above the Crown Prince was the Liang Emperor.
Was this kid trying to tell him that the Liang Emperor was above the Crown Prince, or was he implying that the relationship between the Emperor and the Crown Prince wasn't as close as imagined? If it was the latter, this kid was too cunning.
Could it be that he had been acting like a pig to eat the tiger?
Lu Yuan smiled, "Don't use the Emperor to pressure me. How long have you been the Emperor's grandson? The Crown Prince has been his son for decades. What makes you think the Emperor will favor you more?"
Lu Qi spoke arrogantly, "Because I am the sole heir to the Great Liang Empire."
Lu Yuan leaned lazily against the carriage wall and said, "Maybe I am too."
Lu Qi scoffed, "You?"
"Long live the Emperor!"
New year, new journey, and a new month, still need your precious monthly vote!
