Chapter 153

The emperor smiled with relief when he heard the speech. "If he still wants to see me, he will come. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to come. I don't owe him."

Lu Sheng pursed his lips and nodded silently.

Royal Hospital.

"Princess, our eye liner said that the prince's Royal Highness sent someone to take the king into the palace. Do we want to go to the palace to pray for the emperor?"

Caifu glared at the talking maid and smashed a teacup. "Nonsense! When will there be a son-in-law in the palace!"

The maid quickly covered her mouth and stepped back trembling.

"The royal highness of the princess disappears, and the girl says no reason," the mammy came in from the door. "You haven't been married for a day. You are the unmarried wife of the king. Now your majesty is dying. It's a good time to push back the engagement."

"Return home?" Caifu sneered, "and then find a small country to marry this palace? You dream!"

"What else does the princess want? Now that you are broken and can marry to be a queen in a country, you have picked up a great bargain. Do you still want to be an old girl all your life?" the mammy sneered. "Now it's urgent to terminate the engagement as soon as possible, otherwise... If King Cheng is demoted to a small place to be a powerless and idle king, the princess will have to suffer with the past."

"Your Highness, let's think about it," said the old slave.

Caifu saw that she turned and left without hesitation. She hated her teeth itching and couldn't take the mammy appointed by the imperial brother. She could only smash a room of porcelain and beat and scold several servants. She felt better.

In the palace.

Lu Rong sat in the dark and cold palace with stubble on his face, and a touch of despair flashed in his eyes.

The father emperor is dead. Lu Sheng's position as Prince is stable, and he is like this

What will Lu Sheng do with himself? Is it better to settle a crime for a lifetime, or to find a way to end yourself, and then claim to have died of illness?

Lu Rongyue thought worse and worse, and walked restlessly around the room.

The old wooden door creaked, and a little eunuch came in with a lantern.

"Your Highness King Cheng, your Highness Prince, please."

Lu Rong looked at the visitor with a gloomy face, a little silent, got up and went out with him.

A team of royal guards were waiting in front of the door. When they saw him coming out, they didn't even salute. They just surrounded him for fear that he would fly with wings.

Lu Rong sneered. Even without these forest guards, it would be difficult for him to escape from the heavily sealed deep palace.

He has nothing left.

Lu Sheng was sitting in the imperial study dealing with political affairs. When he saw him coming, he didn't speak. He just stopped his movements and looked at him without saying a word.

Lu Rong didn't salute. He just stood like a scoundrel.

"Thin." Lu Sheng said this after a long time, with a dark look.

Lu Rong sneered. His face full of stubble showed a mocking expression. When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse. "With the blessing of his royal highness, I ate plain tea and rice every day and experienced the hardships of the people. My king was very comfortable."

"I don't want to quarrel with you," Lu Sheng rubbed his forehead wearily. "Your father doesn't have much time. If you still have a heart, go and see your father."

Lu Rong's heart was tight, but he didn't care on his face. "There is a big filial son like you around his father, who still needs me..."
