Zhou Shiyue had some intention of pursuing the matter.

"Why did you let her enter the ancestral temple casually?"

Sometimes the retired emperor would come to the ancestral temple and sit in this hall for a long time. He would indeed let the guards rest first. After all, it was in the ancestral temple, and he thought there was no danger, so he didn't need anyone to follow him around all the time.

But where did Shen Xiangjun come from?

"You don't know, the girl from the Shen family is very good at making incense."

The emperor said, "She made a kind of Penglai incense, which has a unique smell and can calm people's hearts. After burning, the incense ash can form a flower-like shape."

Making incense?

Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised. Shen Xiangjun had such ability?

"Moreover, it is said that this skill of making incense is her own hobby. She has been thinking about it since she was young. A few years ago, with the guidance of Song Zhi, she was able to create Penglai Incense."

"This Song Zhi..." Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue, "Before, Shen Xiangjun said that she wanted to go to Yingshan to find Qiu Yunzhen. She also said that she learned the ability to find people from Song Zhi, right? Also, she was able to concoct Luo Ziying. This skill was also taught by Song Zhi, right?"

"I forgot." Zhou Shiyue lied with his eyes open. Why did he remember about Shen Xiangjun?

"So this Song Zhi is very powerful?"

"Rumor has it that he is knowledgeable and versatile. There is nothing he doesn't know. Moreover, he has traveled all over the world, visited various countries and tribes, and is knowledgeable and experienced. It is normal for him to know more. But I heard that he has been looking for someone in recent years." The emperor explained.

Lu Zhaoling nodded, "We'll meet again someday if we have a chance."

She is also very interested in talented people.

"The Penglai incense made by Shen Xiangjun is never given to others. It is always sent to the palace. That woman likes it very much. I also think it is good, so I allowed her to send some Penglai incense to the ancestral temple every once in a while. Didn't you notice that the main hall always burns Penglai incense?"

It can be said that Shen Xiangjun has been providing incense sticks to the ancestral temple for free.

Then it is no surprise that she appeared in the ancestral temple and discovered in time that the emperor had fainted here alone.

As they were talking about this, there was a noise coming from not far away outside.

It seems like someone is coming.

Qinglin and several others were guarding a place far away from the side hall and stopped the person who was coming.

Lu Zhaoling opened the door, took a look, then immediately turned around to look at Zhou Shiyue.

"Shen Xiangjun is here."

Is it such a coincidence? Speak of the devil.

If Shen Xiangjun didn't come for Zhou Shiyue, she would have broken the tablet of the retired emperor.

Zhou Shiyue’s face turned cold.

"I always hate people who don't understand what others say."

What she meant by not understanding what he was saying was that he had already said that he had no interest in Shen Xiangjun at all, but she pretended not to understand and kept pestering him.

After returning to the capital, Zhou Shiyue had heard those rumors.

He said Shen Xiangjun had been waiting for him for so many years, so they hadn't talked about marriage yet. Moreover, those people in Changning all thought that Shen Xiangjun should be the Princess of Jin.

When hearing this, Zhou Shiyue couldn't understand where they got such confidence from.

He would never believe that it wasn't Shen Xiangjun who created this result for them.

Therefore, he didn't like Shen Xiangjun, and he didn't like her scheming. What's more, he hated Prime Minister Shen.

"I really came here to deliver incense. I didn't know that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was here beforehand."

At this moment, Shen Xiangjun was explaining softly to Qingfeng and Qinglin.

"But now that I know His Highness is here, I must of course go over to pay my respects and burn some incense for the late emperor."

"No need. The prince and princess are chatting with the emperor, they probably don't want to be disturbed by outsiders." Qing Feng refused expressionlessly.

Shen Xiangjun gritted her teeth secretly.

With just one sentence, she was hurt several times.

How can you be called Princess if you haven’t gotten married yet?

How come you're chatting with the emperor emeritus when you haven't even gotten married yet?

Don't want to be disturbed by outsiders? She is an outsider?

The guards in this palace are really as cold-blooded and heartless as Prince Jin, and they are also bad at speaking.

But this was Prince Jin's personal bodyguard, so Shen Xiangjun could only continue to smile and speak more softly.

"Since Miss Lu is here too, that's great. I also have something I want to talk to Miss Lu about, but I haven't found the opportunity yet."

"She is Miss Lu." Qinglin corrected.

Shen Xiangjun came here in a hurry to chase Prince Jin because she knew about the big event that happened in the Lu family.

She felt that this was her chance!

Now that the Lu family has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, Lu Zhaoling might also be convicted. How can she still be the Princess of Jin?

Take this opportunity to abolish the imperial decree granting marriage. It is a great opportunity!

If Prince Jin is willing, he can go to the palace and talk to the emperor, and it will definitely be feasible.

She didn't dare to ask Prince Jin to choose her right away, but being able to ruin his relationship with Lu Zhaoling first was also a big step forward.

"Yes, Miss Lu, I have also heard about the Lu family's affairs, so I wanted to talk to her. Please pass on the message."

Shen Xiangjun felt that she was really humble enough.

The emperor touched his nose and said, "At that time, I felt that my time was coming to an end. I also thought about how she often made incense to offer to the ancestral temple, and the fun things that happened during the one-year-old ceremony. In addition, Ah Yue had not liked a girl for so many years, so I thought about pairing them up. At least he could have a family."

"So, I promised this girl in the last few days, saying that I would marry her to Ayue when he returned to Beijing..."

He felt very guilty as he spoke, and his voice lowered.

Although it was just a remark, "I also said that we have to wait for Ayue to return to Beijing and ask him what he thinks."

"But the girl may think that if I want to see Ayue get married while I am dying, Ayue will definitely not refuse, so this matter is set in stone."

Lu Zhaoling held his forehead with his hand.

In Shen Xiangjun's opinion, this marriage is indeed inevitable?

"In the end, I showed up and intercepted her." Lu Zhaoling shook her head, "No wonder she was angry. It was as if I was stealing her husband."

Zhou Shiyue's face darkened.

"I have never agreed to it, but it was just a one-sided statement from the old man. How can it be said that he is stealing someone?"

"Even if you weren't there, if the old man had asked, I would have definitely refused outright. Regardless of whether you were there or not, this marriage would never have been possible."

"Let me call Prime Minister Shen my father-in-law? Is that possible?"

With a cold face and cold voice, he lifted up Lu Zhaoling's face and looked at her steadily, "You have never robbed anyone's husband. This king has only promised you one."

Lu Zhaoling had her chin pinched by him and couldn't move.

Zhou Shiyue looked a little angry.

"Her husband, try saying that a second time."

"No more talking." Lu Zhaoling's eyes were clear and she responded obediently.

Emperor Taishang: No, can a master be so obedient? Shouldn't I use the talisman to hit Zhou Shiyue? Ask him, what's the harm in trying?

"I'll go out and see what she's here for." Lu Zhaoling slapped Zhou Shiyue's hand away and quickly walked out of the hall.

Zhou Shiyue looked at the emperor.

Just as he was about to say something, the emperor disappeared in an instant.

The Xuanguan Soul-Fixing Talisman has expired.
