Chapter 1870 Make her forget
Dr. Fu's concerns are not without merit.
The fact that the Emperor had a pair of fellow disciples, Master Yu and his sister, could no longer be kept secret.
That depends on how you define these two people.
If they are defined as heretical practitioners, then they would definitely need to seek help from people in the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect.
Now it seems that this is what the Crown Prince meant.
If Master Yu and his sister are proven to be heretical cultivators, the emperor's position will be in jeopardy.
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty only secured its rule with the help of the First Mystic Sect, which in turn took it upon itself to eradicate evil cultivators.
If the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty were to associate with evil cultivators, it would become a joke, and it would also be a disservice to the First Mystic Sect.
This point has now become the simplest and quickest way for the Crown Prince to overthrow the Emperor.
As for how to prove that the two senior and junior siblings were evil cultivators and not proper members of the Xuanmen sect, that would have to be done by Lu Zhaoling and the others.
Dr. Fu didn't explain it too clearly, but Lu Zhaoling understood it.
She was mentally prepared.
But she listened to Zhou Shiyue on this matter and waited for him to speak before taking action.
Master is still in the Netherworld Wasteland and hasn't returned yet; we have to wait for Master's order.
After seeing the doctor off, Qingyin and Qingbao brought over food. They gave Zhou Shiyue some soft and easy-to-digest congee and minced meat, but they didn't want to make Lu Zhaoling suffer, so they brought her a full six dishes.
Zhou Shiyue could already smell it.
His eyes swept across the table, and he saw a table full of food. Then he looked at the bowl of minced meat porridge that Qingbao had brought to him and said helplessly, "Can't I eat this?"
"Your Highness, the Imperial Physician also said you could eat something lighter, but the dishes prepared for the Princess Consort are all quite delicious and visually appealing..."
So isn't he better than everyone else?
Does this sound reasonable?
Zhou Shiyue glanced at Lu Zhaoling, who was already seated at the table, and asked, "Can't you eat somewhere else?"
"That won't do, I have to stay here with you, right?" Lu Zhaoling said, picking up a piece of crystal meat. The skin was shiny and golden, but the fat wasn't too thick, and it smelled so good that it made her mouth water.
She was starving.
One bite and the meat is juicy with several flavors; I wonder what was added during the braising process.
She didn't even have time to ask what kind of meat it was.
"Your Highness, do you need me to feed you?" Qingbao couldn't help but ask when she saw that the prince hadn't reached out to serve her the porridge.
Hearing her voice, Zhou Shiyue picked up the bowl of porridge.
It does smell quite nice.
“Go and serve the Princess some food,” Zhou Shiyue said.
When did he ever need a servant to feed him? Even if he needed to be fed, it should be Lu Xiaoer who did it.
But Lu Xiaoer was eating so heartily that she didn't think of feeding him at all, and Zhou Shiyue couldn't bear to let her go hungry any longer.
He still had the strength to hold the porridge, but he was indeed quite weak. He could only prop himself up with a blanket to support his arm and eat carefully, one spoonful at a time.
Lu Zhaoling glanced over halfway through and, seeing his clumsy state, asked vaguely, "Do you want me to feed you?"
"No need," Zhou Shiyue said, picking up the bowl and drinking directly from it as the porridge had cooled down. "You eat quickly."
He had to admit that even though he couldn't eat it himself and could only smell the delicious aroma, he felt very happy just watching her enjoy the food so much from a distance where he could see her clearly.
Zhou Shiyue felt that he was beyond saving.
Lu Zhaoling ate until her belly was full.
However, since she had to stay by Zhou Shiyue's side, she didn't go out for a walk to digest her food. Instead, she stood by the bed, pacing back and forth, and talking to him as she went.
"Why hasn't the Crown Prince sent anyone to find you yet?"
"I haven't told him I'm back yet."
"But the Crown Prince can't be so out of touch. We've already gone to ask the Grand Physician for help, how could he not know?"
"Because at this time, he has too many people to keep an eye on and too many things to do, while I am the one he least needs to send people to keep an eye on."
If he wakes up, he will naturally inform the Crown Prince.
As Lu Zhaoling listened to him speak these words with a calm expression, she couldn't help but sigh, "Your relationship with the Crown Prince and his nephew is indeed very good."
The level of trust is so high.
So, it seems the Crown Prince isn't the kind of person who would betray someone after using them.
“Qingxiao is still with the Crown Prince,” Zhou Shiyue said. “I heard Rong Jingjing is there too.”
"Ah, right, Second Junior Sister is in the Buddhist Hall." Lu Zhaoling frowned. "The Empress's spell should be broken, but given the Empress's feelings towards you and me, she'll probably look down on us from now on."
If the crown prince ascends the throne, the empress will become the empress dowager.
To be honest, Lu Zhaoling felt quite unlucky. After all, the fact that the Empress had come to cause trouble for her on her wedding day was something that Lu Zhaoling couldn't easily let go of.
"Don't worry, Aze knows what to do," Zhou Shiyue said. "I'll send someone to deliver a message to the Crown Prince."
When Zhou Shiyue's letter was delivered to the Crown Prince, the prince, who had been almost overwhelmed with work these past two days, immediately perked up.
"Uncle is alright!"
Rong Jingjing is here too. "Then my senior sister should be back as well."
"Yes."
Rong Jingjing came to tell the Crown Prince that everything was fine with the Empress and that she was preparing to leave the palace.
The Crown Prince looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Miss Rong, I have a question for you."
"Your Highness, please ask."
"Does your Xuanmen sect have any talismans or spells that can cause someone to lose some memories or forget someone?"
The crown prince asked this question with some difficulty, but he still managed to ask it clearly.
Rong Jingjing was stunned for a moment.
At first, she didn't know what the Crown Prince meant, but when she saw the struggling expression on his face, a sudden thought flashed through her mind, and she had a guess.
"Your Highness wishes to..." She didn't finish her sentence, but simply pointed in the direction of the Buddhist temple.
The crown prince nodded slowly.
"Miss Rong must also know that the Empress Dowager has done a lot over the years. I don't want another Empress Dowager who can't think straight."
His statement alone made it very clear.
"There is a way." Although Rong Jingjing was somewhat alarmed, she actually agreed with the Crown Prince's idea.
Although thinking this way was somewhat selfish, she was also angry with the Empress and wanted to stand up for her senior sister.
It was only her principles that prevented her from doing so; otherwise, she could have easily tampered with things in the Buddhist temple these past few days.
"But Your Highness, wouldn't you like to ask the Prince's opinion on this matter?"
"I do not want my uncle to know, nor do I want my aunt to get involved. They have no need to get involved in this matter."
Let him bear his sins alone.
He also didn't want his mother to have the opportunity to cause trouble for his aunt in the future.
"Your Highness, please reconsider this matter. I will also think carefully about what to use when I get back. There's no rush," Rong Jingjing advised him.
The prince nodded.
"Then I will leave the palace first. If Your Highness has anything to say, I can convey it to you."
