Chapter 429 Grandfather and grandson meet

Emperor Liang is coming?

Lu Yuan lifted the car curtain.

At this time, their carriage had arrived near the Prince's Mansion. After hearing the eunuch's announcement, the guards at the door knelt down and saluted. Steward Jia was even more so, as if he was on a hot wheel. He rushed out and knelt down in front of Emperor Liang's carriage.

Lu Qi's carriage also stopped.

Because of the angle, Lu Yuan only saw a pair of dragon boots and a wide sleeve embroidered with dragon patterns.

He then looked at the figure falling to the ground again.

Emperor Liang was not young at all, and was about the same age as the retired emperor, but it was obvious that Emperor Liang had a more sturdy and upright figure than the retired emperor, and his steps were more steady and powerful.

When he was the King of Qin, he was called "King Wu" because of his bravery and military prowess.

Even though they were so far apart, Lu Yuan could still feel the other person's powerful deterrence and aura.

Emperor Liang was a ruthless man.

His thundering methods shocked the southwest for decades. It was not so much that those separatist leaders were kings themselves, but rather that Emperor Liang had no intention of competing with them for the world.

But once he made up his mind to become emperor, which of those forces would dare not submit to Emperor Liang?

Such a ruthless person happened to become the umbrella of Qianji Pavilion.

Lu Yuan didn’t dare to think about it. If he could snatch Emperor Liang from Qianji Pavilion, how powerful would his power in the southwest be?

Lu Qi had no time to compete with Lu Yuan at this moment, and hurriedly got off the carriage to see Emperor Liang.

Lu Yuan also wants to go.

Just as he leaned half of his body out, he was stopped by Ji Feng.

Ji Feng was breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

Lu Yuan curled his lips: "What a coincidence, Master Jifeng."

Ji Feng suppressed his sternness and asked, "Why did you leave me behind?"

Lu Yuan said calmly, "Master Jifeng, you lost me because of your poor martial arts skills and betrayed the Crown Prince's trust in you. How dare you blame me?"

Ji Feng choked hard: "..."

"Excuse me, give way."

Lu Yuan pushed away the arm that was blocking him and got off the carriage leisurely.

Ji Feng took a step forward and stopped him again: "What do you want to do?"

Lu Yuan said confidently, "Your Majesty is here, I have to go and pay my respects to His Majesty. Otherwise, I will be disrespectful to His Majesty and will be charged with a crime, right?"

Ji Feng said: "His Highness has ordered that you are not allowed to offend His Majesty."

"Why would I..." Lu Yuan said halfway through his words, looking at Ji Feng meaningfully and saying, "It seems that your Highness didn't receive the news that His Majesty would come to the Prince's Mansion before he went to court."

Ji Feng glanced at Lu Yuan and silently stepped aside.

Lu Yuan looked at the prince behind him and smiled: "Hey, Dad, you're here."

The prince said, "Don't shout, Jifeng, take him back to the yard and keep an eye on him. Don't let him come out."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ji Feng bowed in response.

The prince walked towards the palace.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to follow, Ji Feng's sword was unsheathed.

Lu Yuan asked in surprise: "You want to kill me?"

Ji Feng said calmly: "If necessary."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "Is this outrageous?"

Ji Feng said: "Your Highness only said that he was watching you, but he didn't say that you must be alive."

Lu Yuan: ...You are making excuses.

Making too much noise here would be bad for the first impression, so Lu Yuan decided to pretend to agree first.

After returning to the prince's courtyard, he was surrounded by a large group of experts, and even someone followed him to the toilet.

Unexpectedly, what he did to Shang Wuyou turned out to be a boomerang on himself.

Lu Yuan knew that Ji Feng and the others were determined to protect him, so it would be difficult for him to meet Emperor Liang today.

He stood up and walked back.

Ji Feng followed.

Lu Yuan turned around and looked at him speechlessly: "I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Ji Feng brought three palace masters into Lu Yuan's house.

Lu Yuan swept the four people with a cold gaze.

Being so cautious, how afraid was Lu Zhaoyan that he would speak nonsense in front of Emperor Liang?

Lu Yuan lay on the soft bed.

"The curtain."

He ordered calmly.

Ji Feng lowered the curtain for him.

Emperor Liang went to the Prince's Mansion today to meet Mr. Ziwu.

Mr. Ziwu was originally from Wushan, and was a senior fellow apprentice of the Miao Goddess. His abilities were no less than those of the Miao Goddess.

With Mr. Ziwu, Daliang had its own divine messenger.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ziwu was so badly injured by Lu Yuan's vertical descent that he lay lying in his room after sleeping for a day and a night, unable to get out of bed to see Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang was not dissatisfied with this. Instead, he immediately asked the imperial physician to take Mr. Ziwu's pulse.

"It's just overwork. Just rest carefully."

The imperial doctor said.

Emperor Liang's expression relaxed: "In this case, let the master have a good rest. I will come to visit you another day."

Emperor Liang had not seen his only grandson for several days. After leaving Mr. Ziwu's courtyard, Emperor Liang went to Lu Qi's study, tested Lu Qi's homework, and asked Lu Qi to write a policy essay.

Although Lu Qi lived among the people for many years and suffered hardships, he never gave up studying.

Not only was he brilliant, he also knew the Four Books and Five Classics by heart and had unique insights on major national affairs. His views were not empty talk, but genuine and profound.

Emperor Liang was very satisfied.

To govern the country, one needs someone who understands the sufferings of the people, and his grandson is the best choice.

God bless Daliang.

"Thank you for your hard work these years."

Emperor Liang said to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi bowed and answered respectfully: "All my hard work is for the purpose of assisting my grandfather and father one day. It is all worth it."

Emperor Liang nodded: "Your mother taught you very well."

Lu Qi said softly, "These years, mother has indeed suffered."

Emperor Liang turned to the Crown Prince and said, "Qi'er's mother has moved into the Crown Prince's Mansion for a while now. What do you think?"

The prince looked at Lu Qi, then at Emperor Liang: "Father, what you mean is--"

Emperor Liang said calmly: "What do I mean? Don't you understand? Don't pretend in front of me. Don't I know you?"

The prince did not respond.

Emperor Liang said, "Qi'er is your only son and my only grandson. I plan to confer the title of Crown Prince on him after he gets married."

Lu Qi was shocked: "Royal grandfather!"

Emperor Liang raised his hand, signaling him to calm down, and continued to say to his son: "His mother raised Qi'er with great difficulty. Now that Qi'er has made progress, it shouldn't be just me, his grandfather, who loves him. Shouldn't you also give him the status of a legitimate son?"

Lu Qi's breathing stopped.

The status of the legitimate son... Does this mean that the Royal Grandfather is going to make his mother the Crown Princess?

Emperor Liang said to the Crown Prince, "Let's settle this matter before their wedding, so that Qi'er's mother can meet guests from various countries as the Crown Princess."

Emperor Liang was an autocratic person.

There is no room for negotiation on matters he decides, even if it involves his own son.

Just as Dou Qingyi arrived at the study door with a tray of tonic soup, she heard the good news that Emperor Liang was going to appoint her as the Crown Princess.

She was so excited that she nearly fell down the stairs.

She is going to be the Crown Princess!

"If you have no objection, I will issue an order now—"

Before Emperor Liang finished speaking, there was a sudden huge commotion outside the courtyard.

Then, the servants roared: "There's a fire—there's a fire in Mr. Ziwu's yard—"

If someone else's yard was flooded, the servants would never dare to shout or scream.

But Mr. Ziwu is His Majesty’s guest of honor. If anything goes wrong with him, I’m afraid all the servants in the Prince’s Mansion will be buried with him!

When Emperor Liang heard that something had happened to Mr. Ziwu, he immediately waved his sleeves and left the yard without looking back.

The prince followed closely.

The situation was urgent and neither of them noticed Dou Qingyi standing beside them.

It wasn't until Lu Qi left the house and saw Dou Qingyi that he asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you here?"

Dou Qingyi closed her eyes. It was almost there. It wouldn’t have happened earlier or later, but it had to happen at this critical moment.

She was furious and took several deep breaths before she calmed down and replied, "I made some tonic soup for you. Go and take a look and see what happened."

"Ah."

Lu Qi hurried there.

He also felt that this fire came at the wrong time, as he almost became the crown prince.

Although whether he is a legitimate son or not does not affect his inheritance to the throne, being a legitimate son is different after all.

Who doesn’t want to have a perfect background?

Mr. Ziwu's yard is right next to Lu Qi's yard. Yesterday, Lu Qi was still feeling grateful that he had the advantage of being close to Mr. Ziwu and spending more time with him. Now he feels a little regretful.

Even if he lived a little further away, his mother would have become the Crown Princess.

Unfortunately, he could only think about these words in his heart. If he really said them out loud, it would definitely displease his grandfather and father.

After Emperor Liang rushed to Mr. Ziwu's yard, he jumped into the fire without saying a word.

"His Majesty--"

Eunuch Yu's face turned pale with rage.

For the first time in his life, he did something against the will of heaven and reached out to pull the emperor.

However, he was still a step late.

Emperor Liang was a martial artist, so how could his reaction be compared to that of a eunuch like him?

Not to mention him, even the imperial guards accompanying Emperor Liang couldn't stop him.

Emperor Liang's figure was instantly engulfed by the fire.

"Royal grandfather——"

Seeing this, Lu Qi also rushed in desperately, but was stopped by two palace masters.

Lu Zhaoyan looked at the billowing smoke calmly. He did not act impulsively, but directed his subordinates to put out the fire in an orderly manner.

"Father, my royal grandfather has gone in..."

Lu Qi said anxiously, "Let me go in and save Grandfather Huang!"

Lu Zhaoyan did not answer.

He felt that there was something wrong with the fire.

It looked like a severe burn, but no one was burned.

"Where's Mr. Ziwu?"

he asked.

"Here..."

An old man lying on the ground raised his hand tremblingly.

Everyone turned their heads and were all stunned.

You...are not at the fire scene?

Mr. Ziwu was also confused.

He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by the cold. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the grass.

It seemed as if there was a big commotion somewhere, and the surroundings were in chaos and noise, completely drowning out his voice.

If the prince hadn't asked a question at this moment and everyone had quieted down, I'm afraid no one would have heard him even if he had shouted at the top of his lungs...

Lu Qi walked over quickly and helped Mr. Ziwu sit up: "Mr. Ziwu, what happened?"

"hu~hu~"

Mr. Ziwu fell asleep.

Lu Qi: “…”

However, after Emperor Liang rushed into the yard, he found that the fire inside was not as fierce as he had imagined. Instead, it was the woodshed on both sides and several empty rooms where no one lived that were burning.

boom!

There was a loud noise coming from Mr. Ziwu's house, as if something had fallen heavily to the ground.

"gentlemen!"

Emperor Liang kicked open the door and rushed into the fire.

All the tables and cabinets in the house were burned, but because it was an open flame, there was not much smoke.

Emperor Liang did not think for a moment whether there was anything wrong with the fire.

He saw a figure trapped by a broken beam.

"Mr. Ziwu!"

He rushed forward and rescued the man from under the beam.

The man's face was so dark that it was impossible to tell what he looked like originally.

But the moment Emperor Liang held the person in his arms, he clearly realized something was wrong.

This is not Mr. Ziwu!

It's a young man!

Emperor Liang looked at his head again.

Sure enough, his hair was also jet black and he wore a hair crown. He was obviously a young man in his twenties.

Emperor Liang frowned and asked, "Who are you? Where is Mr. Ziwu?"

The young man in his arms slowly opened his eyes.

How to describe those eyes?

Deep, like an endless abyss, and full of pity and sadness.

Emperor Liang was suddenly stunned.

The young man opened his mouth weakly and asked in a hoarse voice: "Am I dying soon? Why... I seem to have seen my grandfather in my dream..."

Emperor Liang was completely confused.

This child must be injured and is talking nonsense.

He quickly helped the young man up: "I'll take you out!"

The young man just stood up and fell to his knees again.

"I...can't...walk...my legs...can't...move..."

Emperor Liang is the emperor, and all the people of Daliang are his subjects.

He couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

He glanced around and saw a bucket full of water beside him. He picked it up and poured it all over the other person.

Then he hugged the other person and walked out of the yard with a stern look on his face.

When Eunuch Yu saw Emperor Liang come out in one piece, his expression relaxed and he broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty! Mr. Ziwu is outside... You...ah...this is..."

Eunuch Yu saw the young man being carried out of the fire by Emperor Liang and shouted, "Someone come!"

Two palace masters stepped forward and reached out to take the young man in Emperor Liang’s arms.

Unexpectedly, the other party grabbed Emperor Liang's clothes tightly.

Emperor Liang was a military general with a sturdy build. It’s not that we were worried that he was tired, but he was the emperor!

Where did this kid come from? How dare he be so rude to Your Majesty?

"grandfather……"

Eunuch Yu’s tiger body trembled!

Don't kill!

Who do you call grandpa?

Is His Majesty the grandfather you can recognize?

The prince clenched his fingers.

He knows...
