The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

The retired emperor was really worried that as they spent more time together, Lu Zhaoling would gradually see through Zhou Shiyue completely.

In the end, she discovered that there were some aspects of Zhou Shiyue that she could not accept.

"Xiao Lingzi is also a very decisive person. I'm just worried that if she sees something she can't accept, she will quickly withdraw."

The emperor sat down beside the bed. At this moment, he was like a worried old father, worried that his son was dumped.

Zhou Shiyue frowned and said nothing.

"You've actually only been together for a few months, so you don't really know each other that well."

"Time doesn't tell you anything."

Zhou Shiyue said calmly, "Some people, after living together for decades, still don't know what the person next to them is thinking, while some people, even after just being together for a few days, already know what kind of person the other person is."

"Xiao Lingzi isn't easily frightened, and I've already controlled myself."

Although he said so, Zhou Shiyue still added, "I will be more careful in the future."

The Supreme Emperor nodded.

"I've told you before that you're not the one who's going to take that position, so it's good enough that you have the ability to protect yourself. You don't have to learn any overly cruel methods. If you do learn any, just teach them to Aze."

Zhou Shiyue looked at him.

"I hope you can live a happy life. If you use those tricks, you will still be unhappy."

"You always think that Aze is kinder and simpler than me."

Zhou Shiyue asked, "If that's the case, do you think Aze will take that position?"

"He can be a benevolent ruler."

The retired emperor felt somewhat relieved when he thought of his eldest grandson.

"Besides, Aze is the smartest of your brother's children, and he's also the eldest son. If you don't make him the crown prince, do you want that idiot A Ling to be the emperor?"

The emperor thought about it and sighed again.

"However, our Great Zhou was fine before. It seemed stable and the capital was peaceful. In fact, it was only after my death that I discovered that there had been some flames underneath the peace. For example, those ministers you killed a few years ago, we didn't know they had done so many evil things behind the scenes until you dealt with them."

"When I was in the palace, I didn't know that every month in the capital, someone died tragically, someone had an accident, or someone went missing. As long as the number did not reach an alarming level, these would not be exposed in a short period of time."

"And the dragon vein is also being damaged bit by bit, and something serious will happen slowly. Your brother may not have noticed it, otherwise he wouldn't have let you out to check the southwest garrison."

The retired emperor felt that the emperor had also noticed something.

"Your brother, although he is not smart and not very respectful to me, his nature is not bad, and he is still capable of maintaining the status quo."

The emperor said, "Otherwise I wouldn't have really handed over the position to him. I was able to hold on to it because I wanted to temper his temper. If he had really sat on that position when he was young, he would have really done something reckless. But by the time he reached middle age, his temper had been tempered to a certain extent."

"I was thinking that he could still protect Aze's kingdom for a few more years."

The retired emperor thought of the dragon vein and couldn't help but instruct Zhou Shiyue.

"Now that the dragon vein is damaged, it is better to let your royal brother stay in that position for a few more years so that Aze can study hard. No matter what happens, Aze will not be hurt."

Zhou Shiyue couldn't help but look at him, "No, he really is your biological son."

This is truly my dad.

For the sake of the emperor's eldest grandson, if anything happens, it's okay to hurt the emperor first, but don't hurt A Ze first?

If his royal brother heard this, he would probably cry.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyue felt a little gloating.

"He is already so old. Even if something happened to him, it is better than hurting the young Aze." The emperor felt guilty. "Besides, I think that if our Great Zhou wants to be better, it still depends on Aze. If your brother continues to sit in that position, no matter how many years he sits there, the Great Zhou will not be better. Instead, it will go downhill."

Zhou Shiyue didn't say anything.

The emperor said a few more words and then changed the subject back.

"Speaking of Xiao Lingzi, you have to be more careful and don't scare her."

"She won't."

Although Zhou Shiyue said this, he was still a little shaken in his heart.

He thought about what he heard today.

What on earth is Xiao Lingzi trying to pull out?

What is there in him that can't be taken away?

Thinking of this, he sat up straight, looked at the emperor, pointed at himself, and said, "Father, look at me."

The emperor looked at him, "What are you looking at? Because you are handsome?"

"Besides being handsome." Zhou Shiyue's face turned cold, and he asked seriously, "Can you see anything on me? Like merit or something?"

The emperor widened his eyes.

"What the hell? Do you think I'm a master? Can I see that? Besides, do you have any merits? Aren't you always doing bad things?"

Just today, someone burned down a house.

"You are the wicked one!"

Zhou Shiyue was furious. "Tell me, what's the use of your soul? Can't ghosts see this? How come you can't see it at all? Then let me ask you, do you know what merit is?"

"Of course I know. Doing good deeds will bring you merit." The emperor didn't know what he wanted to say.

"Then, can this kind of merit be fully reaped?" Zhou Shiyue asked again.

The emperor was confused again.

"Can merits still be taken away?"

He reached out and grabbed a handful of Zhou Shiyue's hand, then opened his hand and looked at it.

"There's nothing here, how can I get it?"

He really doesn't know.

Zhou Shiyue felt that he couldn't continue talking to him.

"Can it be completely pulled out? I mean, if it can be pulled out, what will happen after it is finished?"

The emperor thought about it and guessed, "Then this person has no merits. After all, he won't die, right? Can't he just cultivate merits?"

Zhou Shiyue didn't know what to say for a moment.

He waved his hand and said to the emperor, "Why don't you go back? I want to sleep."

He didn't care at all about losing his merits, but he really wanted to know, if he really had no merits and Lu Xiaoyi could no longer gain such merits from him, would she no longer want him?

Or, will she find someone else?

If holding hands and being close are her ways of gaining merit, then does she have to be so close to other people who have merit?

This is not possible!

He will never allow it!

The next day, before Yin Yunting opened the door, Zhou Shiyue rushed in.

"Junior Brother Yin!"

Yin Yunting was startled.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

Why did you break into his room so early in the morning?
