After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant
Chapter 24 Becoming a wise ruler
Before being discovered by Wen Hemian, Xie Lang restrained his abnormal behavior as quickly as possible.
He finally understood what it meant to be unable to express himself.
There are some things that cannot be confided even to the closest people, and even if he had the courage, he would definitely not be able to say it.
In front of someone like the Grand Tutor who is always as cold as ice and snow, graceful and calm, telling those dirty things would only defame her ears, and Xie Lang didn't have the face to do so.
Xie Lang said sullenly, “I know.”
The Grand Tutor has said many times that one should be a wise ruler. Xie Lang was a little tired of hearing it, but he never raised any objection.
He was able to survive in the deep palace because he was perceptive since he was a child. He understood why Wen Hemian came, so he would not go against her wishes. He was mostly pretending at the beginning, but now, he has completely transformed into being sincere.
He is willing to become a wise ruler for the sake of those who expect to love and care for him.
Even if he is not suitable, he will learn it.
Wen Hemian always kept a line in her heart. She kept in mind her responsibility to guide. At least for now, it seemed that Xie Lang had been taught very well by her, and his twists and turns in some individual matters were harmless.
She glanced at the depressed young man and wanted to cheer him up, so she said, "The weather is nice, so I'll check on your Majesty's horseback archery skills."
Wen Hemian has not practiced martial arts as long as Xie Lang, but it is purely because of his advantage in talent that he has not made any progress but has instead regressed. In fact, he should be able to fight Xie Lang to a draw now.
This is a great way to divert attention.
Xie Lang said without hesitation: "Okay."
-
The sun shines and the wind rustles the grass.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the people inside lifted the curtain and tried to go out.
At this moment, an arrow came from nowhere and flew straight towards Lu Zishen's face, but just halfway, it was blocked by a knife coming from the side, and was intercepted halfway with a bang.
The man who landed silently in front of him was dressed in black, with a cold and serious expression. Only the patterns on his arms revealed his identity - he was a member of the Imperial Guard.
The man clasped his fists towards him and said, "We are sent by His Majesty to protect Lord Lu. Lord Lu, please rest assured."
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't scared. Lu Zishen came back to his senses and regained his composure: "Thank you all."
The man nodded and hid back in the darkness without any reluctance.
Liu Qiongyue heard the carriage stop outside. She didn't see anyone coming in. Her heart skipped a beat. She came out to see what was going on. She saw Lu Zishen standing there in a daze, halfway up the carriage. He seemed to have realized something. "What happened just now?"
Lu Zishen's expression was difficult to describe: "He was assassinated, but was saved by His Majesty's people."
He is not stupid. These people are around him to protect him and also to monitor him. On the one hand, it expresses His Majesty's attention to him, and on the other hand, it also serves as a warning to him.
Liu Qiongyue's face also changed slightly, she suppressed her emotions: "It's good that you're okay, don't just stand there, come in first and talk."
Lu Zishen nodded and followed her in.
After becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination, Lu Zishen asked the emperor for a blessing and officially married Liu Qiongyue in the same year. They bought a house in the capital and lived there most of the time.
It was only after entering the court that Lu Zishen completely understood the identity of the "Master Wen" who had negotiated with them at the beginning - the current Taifu, the emperor's teacher.
Perhaps it was from that time that they were destined to stand on the same side, including some of the cooperation between Liu Qiongyue and the palace in recent years, which has also become increasingly close.
After entering the mansion, Lu Zishen sighed lightly, his face solemn: "Did Lord Wen really give you the method of making the telescope?"
"Yeah." Liu Qiongyue smiled gently, much calmer, "It's not just the telescope, there are other things too. Tell me, how come Lord Wen is so amazing? He always thinks of things that we can't think of?"
"The Wen family is very powerful. Maybe if they are not from the same family, they will not marry into the same family." Lu Zishen said, "Since it has been given to us, we must keep it secret. If this thing falls into the hands of the enemy, it may cause disaster."
"I can see that." Liu Qiongyue stared at Lu Zishen for a while, "My husband, you spoke for Lord Wen a few days ago, and he must have remembered it."
The martial arts world and the imperial court are so similar. Liu Qiongyue has been traveling around the country with the caravan for so many years and is no longer a girl who knows nothing. Naturally, she knows how dangerous what Lu Zishen is doing is.
"It's okay. If I can find a wise leader and bring peace to the world, even death is a pity."
When Lu Zishen talked about this, his eyes were filled with a mixture of smile and worry: "Lord Wen has taught His Majesty very well. With her here, that day won't be too long. His Majesty's people are watching over the palace. I'm only worried about you. If you go out, remember to bring good people with you."
He held Liu Qiongyue's hand, and it was obvious that he was still feeling uneasy.
When Liu Qiongyue heard what he had just said, she felt her heart skip a beat and said softly, "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
She smiled gently, her eyebrows like a crescent moon. Seeing Lu Zishen's gloomy face, she raised her hand and twisted his arm: "Okay, husband, now that you have made up your mind, don't shrink back. Are you still afraid?"
Lu Zishen laughed: "That's not the case."
-
The martial arts training ground in the palace is big enough for them to do whatever they want.
It had been a long time since Wen Hemian had practiced horse riding and archery seriously. It took him a while to get back his feeling. He ran a few laps on the horse's back and felt very refreshed.
Xie Lang stopped to rest, and Huo Ping told him about Lu Zishen's assassination attempt: "...In your opinion, does Lord Lu need to send more people?"
"Not yet, just keep an eye on him." Xie Lang frowned, looking at the hostility, he sneered, "Ning Hechu's men are all like this, assassinating people at every turn, do they think that killing people can stop everyone from talking?"
Huo Ping also wanted to say, who are you looking down on by always playing tricks like this?
"Lord Lu was assassinated?" Wen Hemian happened to be riding by and heard it. Seeing Huo Ping was there, he simply stopped his horse and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"
The clue was lost during the peach blossom viewing trip, which made the people around Xie Lang remember it. All the imperial guards under Huo Ping were warned, but not this time.
Huo Ping said: "It should not be someone sent by Ning Hechu himself. The assassination method was clumsy. It has been found out that it was someone who had a grudge with Lord Lu and was holding a grudge."
"Even if he didn't order it personally, he tacitly approved it." Wen Hemian said, "He was careless and let Your Majesty and I grow up. He definitely doesn't want to make the same mistake again."
The one who made the move was just a minor official from the Hanlin Academy. It was definitely not a loss to exchange one life for another and take away Lu Zishen, who had a bright future.
But he probably didn't expect that Lu Zishen was also protected by someone.
After all, he is the male protagonist. According to the law of male and female protagonists, there are always villains around him causing trouble. Wen Hemian took precautions and it really came in handy.
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Go check what the situation is like at that person's home."
Huo Ping understood, glanced at the emperor's expression that showed no objection, and nodded: "Yes."
