Luoyang Brocade Chapter 157: Surrender (2)
"The Lu family is powerful, but the Ling family is far behind. What's more, I'm just a weak woman with no power to tie a chicken. It's as difficult as climbing to the sky to avoid Lu An and seek revenge. I think about it. I wanted to go, so I finally made up my mind to come to the capital."
"I never expected that I would encounter gangsters on the way to the boat. I never expected that I would be rescued by His Highness later. Your Highness was kind to me in saving my life, and later rewarded me with a famous post, so that our siblings could meet Wei Wei as soon as possible. Imperial physician. I will never forget these kindnesses in my life."
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes to look at the emperor's grandson, her eyes were slightly red, but her eyes had returned to calm: "Your Highness, this is my biggest secret, and it is also the greatest humiliation and pain in my life. Regardless of whether Your Highness is willing to help me, please do it for me. I keep it secret."
The emperor's grandson exhaled a long breath, his face as cold as an ice sculpture, exuding a breathtaking chill: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it secret."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ling Jingshu bowed politely and thanked her, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The first step has been taken. Next, she still has a lot to do.
"It doesn't take much effort for me to help you deal with the Lu family." The emperor's grandson had recovered from the shock and regained his usual calmness and sharpness: "But, why should I help you? ”
The emperor's grandson stared at Ling Jingshu closely and asked slowly: "In other words, what price can you pay for revenge?"
It doesn't matter that she doesn't like him now.
As long as she agrees to marry him, he will avenge her and completely eradicate the Lu family. He will give her all the favor and make her live a life of food and clothing, prosperity and wealth.
There will be plenty of time in the future for her to slowly fall in love with him.
The emperor's grandson's eyes were blazing, like an eagle staring at its prey.
His eyes were so explicit, clearly revealing his thoughts.
Ling Jingshu's heart sank slightly.
Fortunately. She had never underestimated the shrewdness and formidability of His Royal Highness. This situation has been anticipated for a long time. So there was no panic at this time.
Ling Jingshu did not avoid the emperor's grandson's gaze, raised her eyes and looked back, and the clear words passed into the emperor's grandson's ears word by word: "As long as your highness, the grandson, is willing to help me avenge my hatred, from now on, I will This life belongs to Your Highness. No matter what your Highness orders, I will obey. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness, no matter what."
The emperor's grandson looked a little stiff. He frowned.
He had heard such expressions of heartfelt surrender so many times.
Ling Jingshu looked determined. His words were firm and he obviously meant them sincerely.
However, this was not the answer he wanted at all.
What he wants is her person and heart. Not her life and loyalty.
"There are a thousand guards in the Prince's Palace, and I have five hundred personal guards. They are all agile, obey my orders, and are loyal to me. There are many secret guards outside the Prince's Palace who hide their identities. . They secretly act as spies everywhere, and carry out tasks for me to find out information."
The emperor's grandson's voice contained a hint of undetectable anger. The words also seemed harsh and hard to listen to: "As for the officials who are privately loyal to the Prince's Mansion, there are countless. They have different official positions and serve in various ministries. When I give an order, there will be people to carry out errands for me."
"You are just a weak woman who cannot lift your shoulders and resist. I can't imagine how accepting your surrender will be of use to me in the future."
"You just surrendered in exchange for me taking action against the entire Lu family for you. This wishful thinking is too loud! What gives you such confidence? Make you think that I will agree to this A ridiculous plea?"
When he finally spoke, his tone was almost bitter.
To be humiliated and scorned so ruthlessly. Ling Jingshu did not become angry in shame, nor did she hide her face and run away crying.
"Your Highness's concerns are justified." Ling Jingshu's voice was very calm: "There is nothing in this world that can be obtained for nothing. No matter how shameless I am, I would not dare to have such extravagant expectations. I am indeed just a weak woman, not as good as the guards and those secret servants. Guards, let alone those officials. However, I also have my advantages."
"Oh? What advantage?"
The embarrassment of being rejected before, mixed with the resentment and unwillingness in his heart, made the emperor's grandson's tone become more cold and harsh: "Do you mean to say that your beauty can seduce people, such as the Sixth Emperor's Uncle? ?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the emperor's grandson.
This is undoubtedly a great humiliation for a girl who has not yet left the cabinet. He just... was just out of anger for a moment, and that's why he said such angry words.
What's more... King Yan is really interested in her. What if he rejects her surrender and she becomes disappointed and turns to King Yan?
No matter how powerful the Lu family is, it is still just a family. For the aloof prince and grandson, it is not difficult to get rid of the Lu family.
With King Yan's temperament, in order to please the beauty, he would only act faster and more ruthlessly than him.
Unfortunately, words spoken are like water thrown out, and it is impossible to take them back.
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes, looked at the gloomy-looking grandson of the emperor, and said softly: "Your Highness misunderstood. I never had any intention of surrendering to King Yan. From the beginning, the person I wanted to surrender to was Your Highness."
The emperor's grandson's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes lit up and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, Lu Ping has secretly defected to King Yan, and the Lu family can be considered as members of King Yan. If I want to take revenge and deal with the Lu family, I will never go to King Yan."
Ling Jingshu continued: "The King of Yan will not attack one of his own people just because of a stranger. Once this kind of thing spreads, it will lose the hearts of the people. The King of Yan has ambitions and a city, so it is impossible to do this. Such a stupid thing to destroy one's reputation. If King Yan reveals his secret to Lu Ping, not only will I not be able to take revenge, but I will also alert him. ~IndoMTL.com~ Therefore, I have always kept a distance from King Yan. I have never thought of taking refuge in him."
The corners of the raised lips of the Emperor Taisun twitched a few times, and he snorted imperceptibly: "You are very considerate."
I don’t know if it’s sarcasm, praise, or both.
Ling Jingshu restrained her expression and responded calmly: "I am a weak woman with no helpers and no background. But I am not willing to be humiliated and want to take revenge, so I have to work hard and think carefully."
"You are too self-effacing."
The emperor's grandson didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed: "If you are a weak woman, you may never find a tough-minded woman in this world."
How could Ling Jingshu, who stood upright in the rain of arrows and remained motionless and took advantage of the moment when the gangster was injured to kill the gangster with a sharp knife, be a weak woman?
How can Miss Ling Jiu, who is smart and calm and unyielding to the rich and powerful, be comparable to those ladies from famous families who recite poems and paint all day long? (To be continued.)
