Chapter 2005 The King's Past
Fan Wuyou lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She propped herself up with her hands, slightly raised her head, and looked at Zhou Shiyue with tears streaming down her face, feeling both wronged and incredulous.
"Your Majesty, how could you treat me like this? You never used to be violent towards women. I've always been around you, and you just pretended not to see me. Why are you hitting me now?"
While crying, Fan Wuyou asked this question with a sense of grievance.
Lu Zhaoling: "......"
However, she did confirm one thing from Fan Wuyou's words: even in her past life, Fan Wuyou did revolve around Zhou Shiyue, and Zhou Shiyue never paid any attention to her.
Therefore, there is no ambiguity or private affection between them.
Lu Zhaoling walked over, reached out, and personally helped Fan Wuyou up.
While helping Fan Wuyou up, he brushed the dust off his clothes and asked, seemingly casually, "Did your king ever get married back then?"
"Quite a few young ladies wanted to marry him, and the Emperor had already chosen a principal wife and a concubine for him. Their horoscopes had been matched, and it was said they were a perfect match. The plan was to hold the wedding after his great victory in battle, but he couldn't make it back..."
After saying this, Fan Wuyou became wary and quickly stepped back, avoiding Lu Zhaoling's support.
"Don't pretend."
They were just saying they'd throw her in boiling oil, but now they're being so friendly to her. Is it all just to find out about Wang's past?
Fan Wuyou then looked at Lu Zhaoling and asked, "Don't you think you've taken advantage of a loophole and gotten a good deal? How could you possibly marry our king?"
Zhou Shiyue spoke coldly, "I think just being boiled in oil isn't enough. Do you want to be whipped with fire whips...?"
"No, no, no," Fan Wuyou quickly waved her hands and said sadly, "Your Majesty, I won't say it anymore, okay? I know you like her, I won't say it anymore. I just forgot that you don't like others getting close to you, I won't dare to do it again."
She lightly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, a gesture that was undeniably alluring.
Lu Zhaoling thought that a girl like Fan Wuyou, who used to be the emperor's adopted sister, would probably be very popular and would likely be sought after by many families.
But he too died from the Jade Bone Arrow.
Lu Zhaoling always felt that this matter was not so simple.
"I heard that the younger brother of the former Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty was also shot by the Jade Bone Arrow. The Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty also said that the arrow was stolen by someone else, not by her?" Lu Zhaoling asked Fan Wuyou.
She didn't care much about whether Zhou Shiyue had any romantic relationships before. Anyway, he had died and been reincarnated. He was Zhou Shiyue, not the tragically deceased king of the Great Jin Dynasty.
In this life, Zhou Shiyue belongs to her, and she will never let him face any danger again.
“It shouldn’t be her. She and her brother have a very good relationship. How could she send someone to assassinate her own brother?” Fan Wuyou said.
"So you took the arrow for your sworn brother voluntarily? Are you sure they wanted to assassinate the Emperor of Jin, and not you?"
Fan Wuyou was stunned, and even forgot to shed tears.
"Why bother? Why try to assassinate me? I'm not some big shot; it's just that my uncle is somewhat capable..."
Fan Wuyou paused again as she spoke, as if she had just realized something.
Lu Zhaoling looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
What does your uncle do?
"He became a monk, a high-ranking monk, and even saved the king. Everyone in the world said that his eyes could see through the workings of fate..."
This time, it was Lu Zhaoling's turn to be stunned.
Is Fan Wuyou's uncle actually a highly respected monk?
"He also saved a king of a different surname. How did he do it?" Lu Zhaoling turned to look at Zhou Shiyue and saw that he was deep in thought, his gaze fixed on something.
"I heard that he was the one who first showed Wang the way. It was Wang's first journey. Wang was a scion of a family of meritorious officials, but his family suffered a great upheaval, leaving him all alone."
Fan Wuyou then looked at Zhou Shiyue.
Lu Zhaoling noticed that her eyes were filled with heartache at that moment.
"Back then, he had two choices: stay in that city, change his name, and never step out of the city gates again. In the city, he could be free, do whatever he wanted, marry and have children, and almost live a peaceful life."
"The other way is to leave that city, but you have to roll over eighteen boards of nails and break a leg bone in order to escape with your life."
Lu Zhaoling and the other young people's expressions changed upon hearing this.
"why?"
“Because there was a sorcerer back then,” Fan Wuyou said again. “Of course, at that time, that sorcerer was revered by the world, and everyone believed that what he said would surely come true. The king’s grandfather did something, and once there was a strange phenomenon in the house, with a beam of light suddenly shining on their front door in the dark night.”
"That sorcerer said that their family had been guided by the Heavenly Dao and that an emperor would be born into their family in the future. How could the royal family allow that? So they found a reason to confiscate their property."
"Is that the Great Jin Dynasty?"
"Ah, it was the Great Jin Dynasty, but the old emperor was on the throne at that time. He was old then and had taken too many elixirs. My uncle said he had become confused."
Fan Wuyou then looked at Zhou Shiyue and said, "Anyway, my sworn brother wasn't in power back then, otherwise none of this would have happened. Wang Ye was still young then, only twelve years old."
Twelve years old.
Did he experience such a huge tragedy?
Is he the only one left of his clan?
Moreover, they left him with two paths: one was to psychologically break his wings and crush his dignity, and the other was to almost ruin him.
Fan Wuyou suddenly looked at Lu Zhaoling.
"Which path do you think our king chose back then?"
"leave."
Lu Zhaoling answered without even thinking.
Zhou Shiyue would never choose to live without dignity. Just like when he was cursed, no matter how painful it was, he would never submit to anyone because of the curse, even if it meant traveling the world to find a way to break free.
Zhou Shiyue looked at her, his eyes bright.
Fan Wuyou looked at Lu Zhaoling in astonishment, "Do you know how terrifying the nail boards were back then? Rolling over just one board would leave you covered in wounds. If you rolled over eighteen boards, your whole body would be riddled with bloody holes, turning you into a bloody mess!"
Lu Zhaoling gritted her teeth.
"And if you break a leg bone, you'll be a cripple!"
Fan Wuyou seemed unable to understand why Lu Zhaoling would think this way. "Although staying here means no dignity, does being a cripple bring dignity? Besides, there's no guarantee of survival if we go out."
"Tell me which path he chose back then," Lu Zhaoling said, her heart aching as she spoke.
Zhou Shiyue sighed inwardly.
He said that it's best not to dwell on things from the past life, otherwise it will only make people unhappy.
Lu Xiaoer is unhappy now.
