"Actually, I'm just like you. I used to be so arrogant and thought I had everything under control, but in the end, I couldn't control anything!"

Lu Yuan comforted Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue complained in her heart.

Lu Yuan didn't know anything in the first place.

When his father was alive, it was Father Lu who took care of him. How could he ever control Father Lu?

Now, Lu Yuan is just like her, trapped in the chess game.

Xu Qiuyue knew in her heart that since she had obtained the Blood Witch's Fountain of Immortality, she was destined to bear the karma of the Blood Witch.

"Qiuyue, believe me, I will definitely protect you. I will take the initiative to present this technique to His Majesty, and then all the attention will no longer be on you."

"It's useless unless someone can quickly master this technique. Your Majesty can't wait any longer, and neither can those who want to regain their youth.

When truth is false, falsehood is true too. Who can tell the truth from the false?

As long as there is any suspicion about me, those big shots will not let me go.

Now that I have entered this chess game, I can only give it a try. If I win, everyone will be happy.

If you lose, that's your fate.

At least I fought, and that's enough.

Lu Yuan, help me secretly find out what the Fountain of Youth that the Blood Witch once used looks like, as well as the items used in the sacrifices, and find out what effects those people had after using the Fountain of Youth.

I believe that they are definitely not truly rejuvenating. The Fountain of Immortality does have an effect, but it should not be that magical.

Since they think I am the descendant of the Blood Witch, then I am the descendant of the Blood Witch."

this moment.

Lu Yuan felt that Xu Qiuyue seemed to be emitting a brilliant light.

Xu Qiuyue's mind is too clear.

She already had a thorough plan.

"Okay, I will definitely help you."

Lu Yuan promised Xu Qiuyue.

He was avenging his father, but he didn't even know why his father died.

He died for such a ridiculous reason.

It was because Prince Ning'an wanted him to divorce Xu Qiuyue and marry his cousin.

He didn't believe it.

He felt his mother was hiding something from him.

He couldn't believe that his grandfather's family had become his enemies in an instant.

The mother hanged herself in despair.

She hanged herself with the determination to die.

Lu Yuan could feel Zhu Rong's sadness.

He could only bury his father and mother together.

When King Ning'an came to pay his respects, Lu Yuan almost lost control of himself.

He didn't understand why King Ning'an did this.

Today, there has not been much progress in the revenge for the parents.

However, Xu Qiuyue's life experience was leaked by Prince Ning'an.

Lu Yuan also wanted to make up for it.

Lu Yuan knew how good Xu Qiuyue was at pretending and she was never willing to reveal her martial arts skills. Apart from King Ning'an who discovered her internal strength, no one else had ever figured out that Xu Qiuyue knew martial arts.

Moreover, Xu Qiuyue later practiced the aura concealing technique given by King Ning'an, and almost no one could tell from her martial arts skills.

When Prince Ning'an came to pay homage, Lu Yuan asked him why he had to reveal Xu Qiuyue's identity and put her in danger.

In fact, Lu Yuan wanted to ask why King Ning'an wanted to kill his father.

But he knew that if he asked this question, he and the Ning'an Palace would be completely at odds.

Now the emperor’s attitude towards him is unclear.

If he were to fall out with Prince Ning'an directly, he would never be able to defeat Prince Ning'an.

It is precisely because of this.

Lu Yuan could only ask about Xu Qiuyue first.

Prince Ning'an just calmly replied to Lu Yuan: "This is the truth. No one knows why she hides her strength. I am doing this for your own good.

Now that she is exposed to the sunlight, everything will become clear, including her purpose and the forces behind her.

Yuan'er, your mother once wanted you to marry your cousin, Zhu Lian'er. She has now been adopted as the Crown Prince's Consort and is also the legitimate daughter of the Ning'an Palace.

If something happens to Xu Qiuyue, then she is not worthy of being your first wife, and the position should be taken by someone new."

Lu Yuan sneered in his heart.

He didn't expect that King Ning'an actually wanted him to marry his cousin.

But it was clear that the Ning'an Palace had always been unwilling to marry into the Lu family.

Otherwise, Mother Lu would never let him marry Xu Qiuyue.

Before he married Xu Qiuyue.

Lu's mother had already helped Lu Yuan go to the capital to discuss marriage.

No one was willing.

Therefore, Lu's mother followed Lu's father's example. Since she couldn't marry a girl from a prominent family, there was not much difference between marrying a girl from a merchant family or a girl from a peasant family.

Otherwise, even if Father Lu wanted to repay the favor.

Mother Lu would not let father Lu propose marriage either.

Without the approval of Lu's mother, Lu's father would not dare to let Lu Yuan marry Xu Qiuyue.

Think of this.

Lu Yuan asked Xu Qiuyue, "When you came back, did you hear any rumors about me?"

Lu Yuan wanted to know why King Ning'an suddenly changed his attitude towards him.

Is it just because he got the top score in the imperial examination?

"I heard a rumor that your father is the son of Emperor Sheng, and you should be the grandson of Emperor Sheng. But I am not sure whether this is true or not.

You don’t have to take it too seriously.”

Lu Yuan was startled and asked Xu Qiuyue, "Is there any story?"

Lu Yuan actually wanted to prove it.

But he was too embarrassed to ask so bluntly.

“I don’t know, it happened too long ago.

I think your father and your mother might know something, you can look through their belongings and see if there is anything left.

However, if that is the case, you have to fight even if you don't want to, perhaps to serve as a stepping stone for the prince, or perhaps to become a capable minister in the emperor's heart, an orphan who is only loyal to him.

The prince died, but Xuan Jiuqing was still alive, and Concubine Li was pregnant with a new prince.

Xuan Yi is also still alive.

Perhaps, it would have been a better choice for you to do business in Taohua Town.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have allowed you to take the imperial examination."

“This is my own choice. Even if I do business, I am not free. Without an official position, it is easier for others to control my fate.

If you hadn't helped me pass the imperial examination, I would have been even more helpless and desperate right now.

It’s not too desperate now, as I have a lot of people I can trust.

I will investigate this matter in secret.”

Where to start investigating this matter.

More than forty years have passed.

The time of the Blood Witch was twenty years ago.

Still able to find some clues.

But as for his father's affairs, I'm afraid that many people who knew the truth have already died of old age.

And he suddenly investigated his father's background.

This matter is a bit too blatant.

By then, Xuan Jiuqing and Xuan Yi, who were enjoying the fight, might turn their guns on him and join forces to kick him out first.

Lu Yuan planned to change his clothes and go meet Emperor Sheng first.
