Chapter 1734: A Fight Broke Out
Should we seek revenge against the Empress Dowager?
Zhou Shiyue had just thought of this question as well.
"Even if I want revenge, I'll wait three months," he said slowly.
Does that depend on the date?
Lu Zhaoling was still a little confused, but Zhou Shiyue looked at her and said, "We're newlyweds."
Therefore, during these three months, he will not get his hands dirty with blood.
Lu Zhaoling didn't know what to say for a moment.
He attached great importance to the wedding.
“Besides, so many years have passed, three more months won’t make a difference,” Zhou Shiyue said. “However, we can try to get some answers from her about what exactly happened back then…”
Kim Hee's grandmother stumbled upon it by accident back then; only the Empress Dowager knew the full story.
Lu Zhaoling said, "The Emperor Emeritus probably doesn't know about this, otherwise would he have spared the Empress Dowager back then?"
“At that time, he was very busy with state affairs, and the old man might not have been able to attend to them. If my mother really felt no discomfort the next day, given her personality, she could very well have the people around her keep it from the old man.”
Consort Long is a very gentle person, and she loves the Emperor Emeritus very much.
At that time, she was already extremely favored in the palace, and there were many people making trouble in the harem and the court. The retired emperor had to face and deal with many things at that time, and Consort Long would try her best not to say anything to him about her grievances.
She didn't want the retired emperor to go and settle scores with people again because of her, and to offend the families behind them again.
Therefore, Zhou Shiyue also believed that the retired emperor was unaware of this at that time.
"Ah Ling." He looked at Lu Zhaoling, paused for a moment, and asked, "Tell me, what kind of person was I before?"
At this point, Zhou Shiyue couldn't help but start to doubt his own identity.
His use of "before" naturally refers to his previous life.
After all, he has already met so many people with past lives, so it's not surprising that he also has a past life.
However, he was unaware that he had already shown unusual behavior while still in his mother's womb.
Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling thought the same thing. When Jin Xi mentioned that matter earlier, they were already certain that the reason Consort Long was safe and sound that time was because she was pregnant with Zhou Shiyue.
Lu Zhaoling turned to look at him.
She wanted to examine his face more closely. "Or should I take a good look?"
But before she could get a good look, Zhou Shiyue turned her face away again.
"Forget it, you'd better not look."
He always remembered what Yin Yunting said: if Lu Zhaoling were to have her face read by an emperor, it would not be of any benefit to her, and might even harm her fate.
As a member of the royal family, he hadn't thought much about it before, but now that he knew his past life might be extraordinary, he suddenly panicked, fearing that his appearance couldn't be judged casually.
She was afraid that if Lu Zhaoling looked too closely, she might hurt herself.
"what happened?"
“Let’s investigate this matter first,” Zhou Shiyue said.
Lu Zhaoling did not force her.
"How about we have our junior brother check if Jinxi's grandmother is still in the underworld? Weren't there so many ghosts who hadn't been reincarnated yet? Maybe she's still waiting in line there."
Lu Zhaoling remembered the long lines of ghosts she had seen in the Netherworld when she went down there before. "If we can find her, we can ask her more questions."
"it is good."
Zhou Shiyue nodded.
He changed the subject, "Our junior brother is interrogating Duan Fan right now. Duan Fan is from Nanzhao. Our junior brother said..."
"Your Majesty!"
Qinglin walked quickly over.
Judging from his expression, it seemed like something had happened.
"what happened?"
"The Princess Consort is here too, and a fight has broken out in the West Courtyard!" Qinglin said, slightly out of breath.
"Who started the fight?"
“Young Master Yin and Qi’a!” Qinglin said.
He wasn't really sure who this Qi'a-like man, who looked like a general, was; he just happened to appear suddenly in the west courtyard.
He hadn't approached, but suddenly heard a loud bang from inside, followed by Young Master Yin saying in a deep voice, "Qi'a, you can't just take him away like this."
Then Qi'a spoke up, her tone quite forceful.
"I've been looking for him for years, and I'm determined to take him down today."
Then the two of them started fighting.
A moment later, Duan Fan was thrown out, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
When Qinglin saw this scene from outside, he quickly went to find Zhou Shiyue.
The most important thing is to find Lu Zhaoling.
"Your Highness, please go quickly. I feel that Lord Qi'a is very skilled. I wonder if Young Master Yin is his match?"
"Brother Frog was there too, as was the Emperor Emeritus, but they couldn't get close, let alone stop the two of them," Qinglin said.
"I'll go take a look," Lu Zhaoling said, and ran off in that direction.
I had only run a few steps when I was picked up and the wind was whistling past my ears.
"I'll take you there."
Zhou Shiyue carried her and used his lightness skill to get there, which was much faster than Lu Zhaoling running on her own.
Seeing this, Aoki and the others quickly followed.
When they arrived outside the west courtyard, they saw Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi rushing over.
The person who was helped up and sat on the ground was none other than Duan Fan.
Duan Fan still had blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was clearly unconscious.
Frog Brother and the Emperor Emeritus were anxiously looking inside from the courtyard gate, but the gate was tightly closed, and black mist swept up from a little higher in the air, almost filling the entire west courtyard.
There were loud bangs and crashes inside, one after another, sounding like a fierce fight.
Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi arrived just then.
"How is this going?"
They suddenly started fighting?
Lu Zhaoling patted Zhou Shiyue, "Take me to the top of the wall so I can have a look!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Shiyue darted over, grabbed her, and leaped onto the courtyard wall.
They glanced into the yard.
At first glance, the courtyard was shrouded in ghostly mist, making it impossible to see any figures. Every now and then, a cold wind would blow, and fallen leaves and withered flowers would fly wildly through the courtyard.
Upon closer inspection, two figures were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
One of them had a faint black and silver light flashing around him from time to time.
That might just be the sheen of the judge's pen.
Lu Zhaoling watched for a while, then shouted, "Stop!"
No one heard the first sound; the two continued to fight fiercely.
Lu Zhaoling got angry, took out the Golden Ling Pen, held it in her hand, and swung it down sharply.
"Mysterious light appears!"
A flash of golden light cleaved through the black mist, suddenly becoming dazzlingly bright.
The two figures were suddenly propelled backward and separated.
Zhou Shiyue immediately grabbed Lu Zhaoling and jumped down.
Lu Zhaoling wielded her golden pen again, "Clear the universe! Disperse the fog!"
The ghostly mist in the abyss quickly dispersed.
Yin Yunting immediately took action to withdraw the evil mist.
Another patch of black mist, different from the others, was also collected by Qi'a.
The west courtyard, which had been completely obscured, quickly regained its clarity.
Yin Yunting and Qi A each stood on one side.
Lu Zhaoling glanced at Yin Yunting and, seeing that he wasn't injured, felt a slight sense of relief.
She immediately turned to Qi'a, her pretty face darkening.
"Qia, what do you mean by this?"
They actually came to her place to beat up her junior brother?! Did they think she wasn't there?
