Chapter 612 Did he like her that much?
Not long after Zong Que left, Yin Yueling returned, lively and energetic.
Upon meeting, before Lu Yangyang could even speak, Yin Yueling said to her with a constipated expression, "You won't believe how perverted those old geezers are! They actually want me to marry that Ming Ruo and have some kind of heir for them! Just you wait, if they want an heir, I'll let them have their own!"
Lu Yangyang muttered in surprise, "They really are going to get married..."
Yin Yueling asked suspiciously, "You know?"
Lu Yangyang pulled her into the room and briefly told her about Zong Que's visit earlier.
Yin Yueling blinked: "So after all this time, Ming Ruo is actually one of us? I thought he was a traitor!"
Lu Yangyang nodded.
Today was too rushed. Before coming to Yuechuan Palace, Lu Yangyang was not sure if the person who entered the palace with Mingruo was Zong Que. So she planned to talk about it after seeing Mingruo. Unexpectedly, after arriving at Yuechuan Palace, she did not see Mingruo first, but saw Zong Que first.
Therefore, he has not yet had the chance to explain Mingruo's situation to Yinyueling.
Of course, she was even more surprised that the Yuechuan royal family would actually want Mingruo and Yinyueling to get married. This was truly outrageous!
Thinking of this, Lu Yangyang hurriedly asked Yin Yueling, "What happened next? What happened?"
Yin Yueling told her about what had happened at the council meeting, including what King Yuechuan said: if she didn't want to have children, she should just kill Mingruo.
Lu Yangyang was slightly surprised: "Then it seems that your brother's descendants are not important to King Yuechuan."
“That’s not important, but there’s something very important,” Yin Yueling raised an eyebrow: “Master has promised me that he will take you to see her tomorrow.”
Lu Yangyang looked at Yin Yueling thoughtfully. In the eyes of King Yuechuan, Mingruo, her brother's descendant, was not important, but he was kind and gentle to Yin Yueling, supported her, and was even willing to fulfill her requests.
This is why?
Silver Moon Silk waved its hand in front of her eyes: "What are you daydreaming about?"
Lu Yangyang shook her head: "It's alright, I'll know when I see King Yuechuan tomorrow."
"Okay, you can think about it slowly. I'm going to continue communicating with my little darlings." Yin Yueling squatted down next to the table and continued to fiddle with the Gu worms she had acquired in the past two days.
……
The next morning, Lu Yangyang went to see King Yuechuan with Yin Yueling.
Even though she already had some guesses in her heart, Lu Yangyang still couldn't help but lose her composure and her eyes reddened slightly when she saw King Yuechuan.
Then he hurriedly bowed to King Yuechuan: "Yangyang greets King Yuechuan."
"So you're the doctor Yue Ling mentioned? You're quite promising for your age." King Yue Chuan's voice was gentle, like that of someone very easy to get along with, but his eyes were extremely indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever.
She looks so much like the princess, but her eyes are completely different.
The eldest princess's eyes were warm and bright, like the rising sun, but King Yuechuan's eyes were like ice and snow that had been frozen for thousands of years, indifferent and empty.
Perhaps because Lu Yangyang's gaze was too direct, King Yuechuan beckoned to her: "Come closer, let me take your pulse."
Lu Yangyang walked over and squatted down next to the throne where King Yuechuan was leaning, placing her fingertips on King Yuechuan's pulse.
Lu Yangyang noticed that the hand that King Yuechuan stretched out was exceptionally long and slender, with particularly distinct knuckles.
"Yue Ling, you should do your homework first. I'd like to have a chat with your friend," King Yue Chuan said.
Yin Yueling was a little worried about Lu Yangyang, but since King Yuechuan had already spoken, she couldn't stay. She could only look at King Yuechuan with her big, innocent eyes and say, "Master, Yangyang is my best friend. You must take good care of her for me."
King Yuechuan chuckled softly, "Alright."
Yin Yueling then reluctantly left.
After Yin Yueling left, King Yuechuan lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Yangyang, who was taking his pulse: "Do I look a lot like her?"
Lu Yangyang's eyelids flickered slightly.
He thought to himself, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from King Yuechuan."
“Yes,” Lu Yangyang replied, “They look very alike, but according to seniority, the Princess should call you Aunt. Since you are aunt and niece, it’s not surprising that she looks like you. I just never thought that I would see such a familiar face again in my lifetime.”
"Princess, what is her name? Do you like her very much?" King Yuechuan asked casually.
Lu Yangyang was slightly surprised. Wasn't it said that King Yuechuan wasn't interested in his brother's descendants? Why would he ask her about the Eldest Princess? Was it simply because she was distracted when she saw her earlier?
However, there's nothing wrong with saying these things. "I only learned her name after she passed away. She was the eldest princess of the Great Zhao Dynasty, with the title Zhaoyang and the given name Zhi."
“Branch…Bright Moon Branch.” King Yuechuan said softly, “It is a beautiful name, but unfortunately, the more beautiful something is, the more illusory it is.”
Lu Yangyang withdrew her fingers from Yuechuan Wang's pulse. "Your body... is severely depleted. Do you often have trouble sleeping?"
"It's a case of both qi and blood deficiency, like a lamp running out of oil," said King Yuechuan.
Lu Yangyang didn't know how to start the conversation.
She never imagined that although King Yuechuan looked only a little thin and seemed to be more than twenty years younger than his peers, in reality... he had already exhausted his energy and didn't have much time left.
"When I came to Yuechuan, I saw many exotic flowers and rare herbs, most of which were precious medicinal materials. If I take good care of myself, I can still..." Lu Yangyang wanted to give a timeframe, but found that she couldn't say it at all. At most, it would only take a few months. Even if all the rare treasures that could be found in the world were piled up, it wouldn't last until this winter.
King Yuechuan's current physical condition is like a beautiful empty shell. He looks no different from an ordinary person on the outside, but in reality, he is extremely weak inside. With what Lu Yangyang has learned so far, she doesn't even know how King Yuechuan is keeping himself alive.
Your Highness said that Queen Yuechuan wanted to start a war because... she knew her days were numbered?
If that's the case, why must it be done?
Lu Yangyang couldn't help but look up again and glance at that familiar face.
There are mixed feelings in my heart.
King Yuechuan chuckled: "Looking at me like that again, do you like her that much?"
Lu Yangyang nodded gently: "I was born with few relatives and was separated from my parents and family for many years. When I was young, I fantasized about many scenes about my mother. The first time I felt truly loved by someone like a mother was when I met the Princess. At that time, I was very envious and also very satisfied because I met such a gentle elder. She would care about us, chat and gossip with us like a friend, and take us out for drinks and late-night talks. These most ordinary intimacy were things that I had never had before and never imagined I would have."
