I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 178 Just shut up, why should you retreat?
"There's no rush, you and I, monarch and minister, let's catch up on old times first."

Lu Yi watched her drinking tea with focused eyes, "This is Snow Mountain Maojian, produced in the south. How do you like it?"

Rong Cen had no interest in tea art and only wanted to quench her thirst. She smacked her tongue secretly when she heard the words. After thinking about it for a while, there was still a hint of sweetness in her mouth. She commented honestly: "It's not bad."

She dared to come because she was related by blood, but after all, the other party didn't know, so she had to be docile, otherwise she would be doomed if the master's treachery actually killed the king.

"Your Majesty, is he ten years old now? Is he fifteen?"

"Master, I remembered wrongly, I am already eighteen."

Rong Cen didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and thought about whether she had accidentally revealed something. She didn't really want to recognize her relatives, she was just curious about Mr. Lu.

She needs the power of the Lu family, but she cannot do so because the imperial court needs the Xi Wang Party and the Emperor Protector Party to check each other to achieve a balance.

Lu Yi didn't look into it carefully, he just sighed suddenly, shook his head and smiled: "I'm old."

But he is actually not old.

Lu Yi is only three years older than the imperial concubine, and is only in her mid-thirties this year, so she is in her prime.

He was the number one scholar in high school in his 18th year, rose to great heights, and had a prosperous official career. He has only been in the position of a highly respected official for only 17 years.

He has not yet married, he keeps himself clean and has no concubines or wives.

Man, if you can't be idle, why don't you find an aunt for him?

Rong Cen deliberately misunderstood his meaning: "Does the Master want to get married and have children?"

"I think the legitimate daughters of Marquis Zhenyuan and You Yushi are quite good. The Taifu family has a great business, and the youngest daughter of Hehuang merchant is also a good match."

Just throw him the hot potato.

Lu Yi frowned, "Don't bother me about the foolish things the emperor has caused."

"I haven't given the decree yet, but these girls are still innocent. The master can tell me if he likes them."

"Your Majesty, please note that those who indulge in beauty are unworthy of being a king."

"I know."

Rong Cen knew very well that Lu Yi looked down on him at all, and the new emperor he preferred was Jin Yu.

So the reason why he kidnapped her must be for Jin Yu.

"Could it be that the Taifu wants to choose a concubine for Jin Yu?"

"The imperial concubine will take care of it."

It's neither this nor that. Could it be that she has received the latest news from Xi Lin and needs her to send troops to rescue Jin Yu?
Even if she didn't tell him, she would save him, but if the master mentioned it, she would definitely ask him to return the favor.

Rong Cen tipped the tea cup upside down and said, "I have precious time to deal with all the things I have to do every day. The master has nothing to say, so I went back to the palace."

She was really busy, especially after being in coma for several days, and had a backlog of many important government affairs.

"A few months ago, the peace talks between Marquis Jinliu and Xilin were successful. The two countries have diplomatic relations. The details have not yet been agreed upon. His Highness Prince Xi invited himself to Xilin to take charge of the matter. May I ask, Your Majesty, is it really him who invited you?"

Lu Yi's sharp eyes stared at people with nowhere to hide.

"What exactly was the mission entrusted to Jin Yu by the Emperor? He made his journey westwards difficult and dangerous, and he died several times! Now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is unknown!"

There was a stern question in his ears, but some memories came to mind. Rong Cen was shaken, not knowing how to explain.

It is true that Jin Yu did not ask for it on his own, but she always brought Jin Yu together when discussing matters with the emperor's uncle. The three giants each expressed their opinions in order to clarify the true knowledge.

With telepathy in front of her, Rong Cen already knew that Jin Yu was in bad condition, and she would definitely save her, but she had not yet decided how.

Qu Feng's true identity has not been discovered. She is the king of a country, not an ordinary person. She cannot do anything she is not sure of.

"The Taifu has great magical powers, but there is no news about Jin Yu?" Rong Cen asked. "The dead soldiers raised by me are all over the world, but they can't enter Xilin. It's because Qu Feng, the master of Xilin, possesses evil magic and can cover the sky with one hand."

He is really not afraid of being jealous of the emperor and being silenced.

Rong Cen touched his chin, "Qu Feng, where did he come from?"

"Twenty-three years ago, a fire fell from the sky on Fengning City, the imperial capital of Nanxun. The East Palace was burned down, people and things were reduced to nothing, and everything was destroyed. Prince Jiang Yuan died. No one knew that the fire almost destroyed the entire palace. Burning it out means that it will be destroyed."

"Twenty-two years ago, the plum rains in Nanxun caused severe flooding in Fengning City. Floods and plagues raged, sweeping through the palace and floating households everywhere. The second prince Jiang Yu died of illness. This natural disaster was also suppressed by chance, and he saved the life again. Nanxun.”

"Twenty-one years ago, Nanxun was overturned by an earth dragon. The high-rise buildings of the palace collapsed, and there were countless casualties under the broken walls. The third princess Jiang Yi, who was still a toddler, suffered from leg problems. Qu Feng once again took action in times of crisis. Save Nanxun."

Lu Yi slowly revealed the old secret.

"Nanxun?"

Isn’t Qu Feng, the Imperial Master of Xilin?

Rong Cen worked backwards in time and found that it was probably the three years since Emperor Changning of Nanxun came to the throne.

"When Jiang Yun first came to the throne, there were three consecutive years of natural disasters. His own edicts were useless. Thanks to Qu Feng, he was able to secure the throne. Therefore, he was honored as a national advisor, enjoying boundless wealth and wielding supreme power. One person is less than ten thousand people."

"But he only stayed in Nanxun for five years. In his second year as a national counselor, he bluntly said that Jiang Yun's way of governing the country was contrary to him, left behind his glory, wealth and beautiful family, resigned from office and left."

"King Xi Lin heard that Qu Feng was talented and had already wanted to recruit him. Just as Qu Feng and Jiang Yun parted ways, he welcomed him into the imperial court and made him a national master to advertise to the world."

Lu Yi's narration was not mixed with any personal emotions and had a very third-person perspective.

"Does Master know what happened to Qu Feng and Jiang Yun?"

Rong Cen asked.

Jiang Yun was the king of Nanxun, with the reign name Changning, so he was also called Emperor Changning.

Qu Feng was so carefree and at ease in Nanxun, there was no way he could leave without any reason. These two people must be having some trouble.

Lu Yi shook his head. Rong Cen thought he didn't know, but in the end he heard him say: "Nothing happened."

It's impossible!

Rong Cen didn't believe it.

She thought carefully, "Every time there is a natural disaster, Jiang Yun has a child who is unfortunately killed, and it must be the child of the queen. Both Jiang and Dajiang died tragically, and the only princess is bad. It seems that she went to the queen. Maybe someone Secret revenge?"

"Natural disasters cannot be faked." Lu Yi denied her baseless speculation.

"How come there are so many natural disasters? Doesn't Qu Feng have witchcraft? What if he was bribed to maliciously fake natural disasters? They are all man-made disasters!"

Rong Cen's natural disaster studies, which she had taken for many years in the new era, were not for nothing. She directly pointed out the loopholes, and the originally far-fetched logic suddenly closed into a chain.

Yes, where do so many natural disasters come from? The most common thing in the backyard of a deep palace is man-made disasters caused by intrigues and fights to the death.

Her speculation was not unreasonable.

"Five years, that is, Chang Ning's five years, Qu Feng's activities were discovered. He was afraid that the other party would make it public, so he left Nanxun in despair."

Rong Cen continued to reason, "Emperor Chang Ning would definitely not let him abuse sorcery, so Jiang Yun didn't know the inside story. And he also knew that Jiang Yun would not protect him, so he chose to accept Yue Zhao's olive branch and go to Xilin to do evil."

However, something feels wrong.

Lu Yi hit the nail on the head when he said: "You can just silence yourself, why should you retreat?"

Yes, this is the place.

What happened in Chang Ning's five years that made Qu Feng take the initiative to leave Nanxun? Or is it that the person who discovered his secret was more powerful than him, so he was told to "stay away"?
