Zhu Yunye looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, with a cold look in his eyes. The purpose of coming to see Lu and his son was to find out who was behind them, not to really ask Zhu Yunwen to join the feudal clan.
"Get up." Zhu Yunye lost his smile and his tone was cold.
The mother and son who were lying on the ground looked at each other one after another, with nervousness in each other's eyes.
The reason why they dared to make such a request was because they wanted to take a gamble. But gambling is risky. If the emperor is angered, today next year may be the anniversary of their death.
Fortunately for Lu, she is not young anyway, and even if she continues to live, she may not have a few more years left.
Zhu Yunwen was in his prime, and even though he had been making small moves from the beginning, when it came time to see the end, his body under his robe actually began to tremble.
He is scared!
But the current situation didn't give him any time to be afraid.
Lu stood up, and Zhu Yunwen had to follow. .??.??
Lu smiled flatteringly and said first, "Is this your permission, Your Majesty?"
"Who said I was right?" Zhu Yunye looked at Mr. Lu with cold eyes.
Mrs. Lu was so frightened by this sudden look that she couldn't even speak for a moment.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen had regained his composure at this time. He raised his hands and said sternly, "Your Majesty, I don't want anything. I don't want the palace, I don't want personal guards, and even the king's title can be taken back by the emperor. I just want my mother and concubine to live a long life."
, please give your permission!”
After saying that, he knelt down in front of Zhu Yunye and looked at him with satisfaction and sincerity.
Mrs. Lu was caught off guard by her son's sudden move, which was completely different from what they had planned.
If you don't want anything, even if you throw away the king's title, doesn't that mean you will be demoted to a commoner?
Although Ms. Lu had never lived the life of a commoner, she had seen it with her own eyes. She could not survive a single day of such miserable life.
No, absolutely not!
"No!" Lu shouted loudly.
Pointing at Zhu Yunwen, he angrily scolded him for his failure to live up to expectations, "You are the eldest son of the late emperor and a rich man. You deserve all this. How can you ask for nothing?"
When Zhu Yunye heard that his half-brother would rather give up the title of king and leave the palace, he felt a feeling of admiration for him in his heart.
Even the determination he had already made in his heart was slightly loosened at that moment. If it hadn't been for Lu's words, Zhu Yunye might have really softened his heart for a moment and agreed to let him leave the palace.
But Lu's words reminded Zhu Yunye and made him wake up instantly.
According to the Lu family, since Zhu Yunwen deserves the title of king, do they think that Zhu Yunwen also deserves the throne? Although Zhu Yunwen is not the legitimate son, after all, he occupies the status of the eldest son.
Zhu Yunwen felt bad when he heard what his mother and concubine said. But at this time, he had no courage to distract his mother and concubine, because he knew that as long as he showed the slightest abnormality, Zhu Yunye would definitely find out.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunye's eyes never left Zhu Yunwen's eyes. After a moment, when he saw that Zhu Yunwen was unmoved, he withdrew his eyes.
It's just that Zhu Yunye no longer has any soft-hearted thoughts. He slowly leaned his back on the chair, looked at the two of them and said calmly, "When my father passed away, he took my hand and asked me to promise to give you something."
Wang Jue."
Having said this, Zhu Yunye looked at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Your title was not given to me by me, but by your father."
As he spoke, he was observing Zhu Yunwen's reaction.
When Zhu Yunwen heard his father being mentioned, he immediately lost control of his emotions, covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.
"Father"
Zhu Yunye looked at Zhu Yunqi who was crying, paused and then continued, "So, I will not take back your princely title."
Perhaps because he believed in Zhu Yunwen, or perhaps because of his father's affection, Zhu Yunye did not take back Zhu Yunwen's royal title in the end.
"Your Majesty, do you agree to grant me the title of vassal?" Mrs. Lu was overjoyed when she heard this and asked without thinking.
Hearing that his mother-in-law said something wrong for the second time, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but glance at her secretly, even though he was crying. His heart felt cold.
Zhu Yunye shook his head and refused without hesitation, and said with an implicit smile, "I will seriously consider the vassal issue. However, I still need to discuss with the courtiers about which place is suitable, so let's put it aside for now."
If you let it go first, does that mean you are not agreeing?
Zhu Yunwen was naturally disappointed. He didn't know if he would have another opportunity like this if he missed it this time.
Mrs. Lu finally understood what Zhu Yunye said. She stood there blankly, looking back and forth at Zhu Yunye, not knowing what to say.
"Yes, everything is subject to the emperor's orders." Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to pretend to be happy and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Zhu Yunye smiled and nodded slightly.
Then he clapped both hands on his legs, stood up and sighed, "Okay, I passed by here today to see you. Since you are living well here, I am relieved."
With that said, he ignored the two of them and walked out directly.
Of course, the two of them did not dare to say anything and could only bow to Zhu Yunye's back.
"Your Majesty."
By the time the two people straightened up, Zhu Yunye had already left the palace.
Zhu Yunwen watched the heavy palace door close again, and the huge vibration dropped dust. His legs went limp and he sat on the ground, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His chest rose and fell violently, and he kept breathing heavily.
She didn't have any extra energy to pay attention to Ms. Lu beside her, so she muttered in a low voice, "It's over, it's over."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she glanced towards the palace door, squatted down and asked, "It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
When Zhu Yunwen heard about the reputation, he turned to his mother-in-law with a sad smile on his face and asked, "Why not? Does the mother-in-law think we still have a chance? Today is the best chance and the last chance, but"
Having said this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes gradually became fierce as he looked at Lu, with a ferocious look on his face.
He suddenly grabbed Lu's shoulders with both hands, shook him fiercely and said, "It's all because of your words that made him alert. It's all you!"
Ms. Lu only felt severe pain in her shoulder. Fortunately, she was calmer at this time and hugged Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to struggle, but was hugged tightly by Lu.
Ms. Lu leaned close to his ear and gritted her teeth and said, "What are you crazy about? This palace is full of his eyes and ears. Do you want us, mother and son, to die without a burial place?"
After hearing these words, Zhu Yunwen suddenly relaxed and stopped struggling.
Slowly, Ms. Lu let him go. Seeing that he had recovered, she whispered, "Go back to the house if you have something to say." Granting land is impossible!
Zhu Yunye looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, with a cold look in his eyes. The purpose of coming to see Lu and his son was to find out who was behind them, not to really ask Zhu Yunwen to join the feudal clan.
"Get up." Zhu Yunye lost his smile and his tone was cold.
