low-key is king

Chapter 724 Is Your Majesty Just Joking?

"Second uncle!"

On this day, Lu Linger, who was sitting next to the chessboard in the Xinyue Restaurant of Literary and Teacher College, saw Lu Xun walking in, and ran over bouncingly, cheering.

It's just that although Ling'er's face was excited, there was a hint of faint weakness, and his face was a little paler than before, which caused a haze to flash deep in Lu Xun's eyes.

"In a few days, it should be Ling'er's ninth birthday, right?"

Lu Xun counted the time, and at the same time he asked, he looked at Lu Xue beside him, and at the same time counted the time when Lu Linger's blood exhaustion completely broke out, it seemed that it was only a year.

When Lu Xun returned, according to the method of sealing the blood of his senior brother, Lu Linger's lifespan was extended for two years, and later he got a blood coagulation stone, which increased by one year.

However, it has been almost two years since Lu Xun returned to Zhendong Prince's Mansion, that is to say, in at most another year, Lu Linger's blood exhaustion will completely erupt, and there is no way to recover.

The Changchun Art of Immortality in Changchun Palace is the only way to save Lu Linger, so there is not much time left for Lu Linger, and Lu Xun's plan must also be accelerated.

"There are still seven days!"

Lu Xue nodded. Naturally, she remembered it better than Lu Xun, and when she said this, she lovingly stroked Lu Linger's little head with doting eyes.

"In a blink of an eye, Ling'er is already nine years old. This time, we have to hold a birthday party for her!"

Lu Xun put away the melancholy in his heart, and when he uttered the word "birthday feast", a look of joy appeared on Lu Linger's pale face.

"Yeah!"

Lu Linger looked a little excited, but in the next moment she became emotional again, and she said melancholy: "This may be my last birthday party!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Brother and sister Lu Xue scolded at the same time, but what no one could see was that there was actually a touch of sadness in this scolding, because what Lu Linger said was not unreasonable.

The effect of the blood coagulation stone is said to last for one year, but who knows if there will be any changes. After all, Lu Linger's blood was extremely strong, and this time may be greatly shortened.

But no matter what, the siblings will do their best to help Lu Linger overcome this difficulty.

They heard Ling'er forcefully laughing and making this joke in their ears, and their hearts felt like a knife was piercing their hearts.

stomping on...

Just when Lu Xun was about to say something to comfort Lu Ling'er, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and immediately after the door of Xinyue Restaurant, a familiar figure walked in quickly.

"Lu Xun, something happened!"

It was Xuan Shisan, the first genius of the Chess Academy, who walked into the gate, and the first words he said when he approached made Lu Xun brothers and sisters look at each other, and they both saw a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes.

"Is it the Doctor's Hall, or the Crescent Restaurant outside?"

Lu Xun held his breath, and asked directly. The only ones who have relations with him now are these two places. Maybe it's people from the Ningmen Yuanmen, or maybe those princes who have enemies with him are making trouble.

However, although Lu Xun was a little uneasy, he was not too worried. After all, he is not alone now, and he is also a person with a background of the upper five realms.

"It's Emperor Father, he...he went to Xinyue Restaurant!"

The depths of Xuan Shisan's eyes shone with light, and after these words came out, the Lu Xun brothers and sisters were stunned. They didn't expect the so-called accident, but they actually said this.

"Hehe, it's a good thing for your Majesty to patronize the business of the New Moon Restaurant, right?"

Although Lu Xun knew that this matter would never be so simple, he still chuckled lightly, and then saw Xuan Shisan frowning.

"Lu Xun, I'm afraid things are a bit troublesome. My royal father may...may also have taken a fancy to Treasurer Long!"

Immediately afterwards, the words that came out of Xuan Shisan's mouth made Lu Xun's brothers and sisters all full of disbelief, especially Lu Xue, secretly thinking that Long Zhijun's charm is really so great?
To be honest, apart from Lu Xun, none of the other academy geniuses had ever seen Long Zhijun's true face, and naturally they didn't know how charming that face could be.

But only Lu Xun knows that Long Zhijun's peerless face, I am afraid that few people in the world can resist the temptation, even Xuan Tiangao who is the Emperor Daxuan.

Xuan Tiangao may have obtained Long Zhijun's appearance from Xuan Zhengzhao, or maybe he used some other method to see Long Zhijun's face, then this matter can be big or small.

"Let's go to the Crescent Restaurant!"

Lu Xun was a little anxious, and the Crescent Restaurant he was talking about was naturally the Crescent Restaurant in the bustling city of King Daxuan. He knew that the incident this time might be more troublesome than the last time.

No matter how you say it last time, Xuan Zhengzhao was only a crown prince, and he only had a cultivation base that had just entered the seventh realm. Lu Xun had the truth again and produced iron proofs, so that he could gain the absolute upper hand.

Compared with the identities of Prince Daxuan and Emperor Daxuan, there is only one father-son relationship missing on the surface. In fact, the power and strength are worlds apart, and there is no comparison between the two.

If Emperor Daxuan really took a fancy to Long Zhijun and married him in some formal way, then Lu Xun would really have a headache.

Therefore, he had to rush to the scene of the incident as soon as possible and act by ear.

"Sister Xue, you go to Senior Sister Xinyue and inform Dean Gao and Dean Yu respectively. As for Master Wan... Forget it for now!"

Lu Xun asked as he walked, and finally paused slightly when he talked about the leader of the Union of All Nations, thinking that it is better not to owe too much favor, after all, that person is a genuine businessman.

Lu Xun took the order and left, but Lu Xun and Xuan Shisan didn't say a word, they just took the flying wooden kite and rushed towards the New Moon Restaurant outside, not knowing what would happen next.

…………

Daxuan King Capital, New Moon Restaurant!
Today's Xinyue Restaurant has a very distinguished guest, the present Emperor Xuan Tiangao.

Speaking of the incident from that day, the business of the New Moon Restaurant seems to be much slower than before.

After all, everyone knows that Lu Xun, the real owner of the Xinyue Restaurant, had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Daxuan royal family.

No one knows what will happen in the future, if the royal family of Daxuan is determined to deal with Lu Xun, wouldn't it be causing trouble for themselves if they dare to patronize the New Moon Restaurant at this time?
Mu Qing, the manager of the Crescent Restaurant, never thought that His Majesty the Emperor Daxuan would patronize the Crescent Restaurant in person, and even ordered a table full of dishes. He was already the biggest customer of the Crescent Restaurant.

Among the rooms on the second floor, Xuantian was seated at the head, next to him was standing to worship Qin Yunling, and on the opposite side was Long Zhijun, the shopkeeper of Xinyue Restaurant.

There were also two figures standing beside Long Zhijun, they were the blue-blooded old devil and Du Baimei, their eyes were flickering, their hearts were even more suspicious, and they couldn't guess the other party's intention at all.

At this moment, Xuan Tiangao just ate the delicious dishes in front of him with peace of mind, he didn't show any signs of inciting his teacher to ask for his crimes, and he didn't mention a word about what happened that day.

But Du Baimei and the others all knew that His Majesty the Emperor Daxuan made a special trip here not only for eating, but also for other purposes, but if the other party didn't tell them, they couldn't ask first.

"Tsk tsk, although the dishes at Xinyue Restaurant are a bit expensive, the taste really lives up to its reputation!"

After about half a stick of incense, Xuan Tiangao finally stopped the chopsticks in his hand, then raised his head, and praised in amazement, it seems that he is really satisfied with the dishes of Xinyue Restaurant.

"If Your Majesty finds it delicious, then you can come here often!"

Long Zhijun's tulle lower lips moved slightly, and she made a soft sound. She knew that she would get to the point soon, but it was a pity that Lu Xun hadn't arrived at this time.

"Do you come here often? I have a way to get the best of both worlds!"

Xuan Tiangao took out a cotton towel and wiped his mouth, then raised his head, staring at the shopkeeper Long Zhijun opposite him without blinking.

As soon as this remark came out, a trace of uneasiness rose again in the hearts of the three people on the opposite side.

"As long as Shopkeeper Long becomes my imperial concubine, won't I have to come here every day if I want to eat the food from Xinyue Restaurant?"

Xuan Tiangao was not sloppy, but when he uttered the words, the expressions of the three people facing him changed drastically, and Long Zhijun's figure all trembled violently.

They never thought that since the Crown Prince Xuan Zhengzhao came to ask for marriage but failed and finally snatched him by force, His Majesty the Emperor Daxuan had also become interested in Long Zhijun.

The weight of Emperor Daxuan is much heavier than that of Crown Prince Xuan Zhengzhao. Although a mere crown prince's side concubine may become a regular in the future, how can he compete with the existing imperial concubine?
If it was any other woman who could be favored by Emperor Daxuan so much, I'm afraid they would wake up laughing from their dreams.

But Long Zhijun is different. In her heart, someone has actually lived in him, even if she is not sure yet.

"Your Majesty... Are you joking, Your Majesty?"

Long Zhijun forcibly held back the shock in her heart, and looked at Emperor Daxuan opposite, but as soon as she said this, she immediately saw that the priest of the upper five realms turned gloomy.

"Your Majesty is the king of a country. How can you make a joke with you?"

Qin Yunling immediately scolded her, this woman is so ungrateful, it is such an honor for His Majesty to come to propose marriage in person, but you didn't happily agree, do you want to be a queen?
These words reached Long Zhijun's ears, making her pretty face under the tulle extremely pale for an instant, but she gritted her teeth the next moment, as if she had made a certain decision.

"Your Majesty, what if I don't want to?"

Long Zhijun's voice was a little soft, but it contained a special determination in everyone's ears, which also made the Emperor Daxuan feel uncomfortable.

I am the majestic king of a country, and now I come to propose marriage in person, and I want to make you a concubine, how can you refuse?
Does that mean he doesn't take himself, Emperor Daxuan seriously?
