Chapter 429 Come to Propose Marriage

Marquis, are you alright? Lu Lingzhis young manservant asked in a low voice.

Go to Marquis Jing Nings mansion. Lu Lingzhi ordered quietly, mind still entrenched.

Perhaps, it was because Lu Yaoyao looked a little too much like Ye Zhen that he couldnt help but have her image constantly in his mind

If Lu Yaoyao is not with the Lu Family, perhaps everything will be alright.

Lu Lingzhi mused on his way to find Tang Zhen. When he arrived, he happened to meet him as he was about to go out.

Lingzhi, why are you here? Tang Zhen asked, surprised to find Lu Lingzhi at his doorstep. What a coincidence. I was on my way to see you. I heard that your poison broke out again. Does Mr. Chen have a way to treat you?

At his friends concern, Lu Lingzhi faintly smiled and said. Lets go in and talk.

Not having reason to refuse, Tang Zhen led the other back to his study. Then, after having tea, he asked in a low voice, What matter is there that prompts you to come to see me today?

Recently, isnt the situation back in the palace not very stable? Lu Lingzhi inquired as he touched the rim of the tea cup and looked at the other with a smile.

Lingzhi, you do know that without the emperors order beforehand, I cannot tell you too much. Tang Zhen felt somewhat in a bind. He and Lu Lingzhi were once friends who were willing to risk life and limb for each other, but in the face of the imperial power, he now had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Lu Lingzhi nodded. I understand. Im just asking casually. Now that Im not in court, I shouldnt ask so many questions. Its just the weather in the capital is unpredictable, so you should also be careful.

Seeing that his friend did not blame him, Tang Zhen felt relieved and spoke with a smile. There is the emperor here, how can the capital be unstable? The rumors outside cannot be believed.

So, the emperors injury isnt serious at all?

There was a glimmer of light in Lu Lingzhis eyes as his mind began to turn.

The emperor obviously did not trust the Lu family as much as before. Shuanger now has become a Daoist nun

Before he left, Lu Lingzhis second uncle had talked to him and told him that he wished to send Lu Jing to the palace to help Shuanger. And though he did not promise at that time, off late, he wavered a little.

If there were girls from the Lu family in the harem, then they would be able to help Lu Wushuang when they were favored. They only needed to mention her (LWS) in front of the emperor, and she might still have a chance to return to the palace in the future.

When I get back, Ill discuss this matter with Grandmother. Today, I came to see Tang Zhen for another matter.

Lu Lingzhi put the thought away for the time being and opened his mouth. I have sounded out Third Aunts mind about what you told me last time.

Tang Zhen was stunned when he heard his words.

What had I said to Lu Lingzhi last time? Wasnt it about his wish to marry Yaoyao?

Lu Lingzhi looked at him and smiled as he said, Third Aunt has a very good impression of you and is very happy to hear your intention. If you really have a heart for Yaoyao, then you can directly ask the Third Aunt for her hand.

Lingzhi Tang Zhens heart felt sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy at the same time.

Whats with the look on your face? Dont tell me that you regret your words? Lu Lingzhis expression changed.

Tang Zhen immediately refuted. How can I change my mind about Yaoyao? Its just, Yaoyao is now a princess. Even if Third Madam Lu agrees, will will the emperor agree?

He did not dare to say what the emperor did to Lu Yaoyao. After all, they were brother and sister, as such he did not have the heart to reveal and hurt him.

As long as you propose, Grandmother will naturally enter the palace and ask the empress dowager to confer marriage for you two. And you can tell the emperor yourself. Lu Lingzhi said, I will talk to Third Uncle.

Can I really marry Yaoyao? Between her and the emperor

Thinking back to the scene in the hunting grounds, his heart suddenly felt a deep heartache. Lingzhi, I really want to marry Yaoyao, but will she be willing to marry me?

Why wont she be willing? Dont worry. Just go ahead and propose.

If I want to get rid of the demons in my heart, then its imperative that I marry Yaoyao off. Otherwise, Ill think of her day and night, and inevitably hurt her sooner or later.

Tang Zhens heart immediately beat harder. Then, Ill ask for the Third Young Misss hand from Third Madam Lu.

Lu Lingzhi smiled and said, Alright, then Ill wait for your good news.

Lingzhi, I dont think itll be easy to settle the marriage Shes a princess. Although that was what he said, what Tang Zhen was more worried about was that she had the emperor in her heart, so she would refuse to marry him.

Yaoyao is a princess, but she is also a daughter of the Lu family, Lu Lingzhi said with a smile.
