Chapter 72

The queen told him early on that she preferred to be emperor herself.

"I am speaking to you now, not as the daughter of the Jiang family, but as the queen."

"The Jiang family will not provide you with any help, because the Jiang family will always be a royalist party. If you want to get the approval of the Jiang family, the only way is to become the prince."

"You need a queen mother, but Bengong needs a son. You were raised by Bengong. No one knows your character, strengths, and weaknesses better than Bengong."

"I hope to see Dajue prosper for another hundred years, I hope that I can spend my old age in peace, and you hope to ascend to the throne - we all have what we need."

"I know that you will not disappoint me, Sheng'er."

From that moment on, Lu Sheng really regarded Jiang as his mother in his heart.

He didn't feel that Jiang was using him—to put it bluntly, it had nothing to do with Jiang who became the emperor, and she would always be the empress dowager.

Besides, isn't the biological mother and child using each other?It's not that the son takes advantage of the power of the mother clan, and the mother clan wants to take advantage of the prince's power. When it comes time to climb to the top, it is still uncertain who will take care of whom.

After sitting with the queen for a while, Lu Sheng went back to the mansion to rest.

His injury was almost healed, and after applying the medicine for two more days, there was no problem.

On the day when the imperial doctor said that he had recovered, he personally went to the warehouse to pick out two boxes of treasures and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and took a team of followers to Wen's house.

"Master, Prince Xuan is here." The steward entered the study to announce.

"King Xuan? What is he doing here?" Father Wen was startled, and quickly got up to greet him.

"See His Highness Prince Xuan." Father Wen walked out and saw Lu Sheng sitting in the living room. He calmed down and bowed to the man.

"You don't need to be too polite, Prime Minister Wen." Lu Sheng smiled back, "I'm here to thank you today."

"Thank you?" Father Wen asked suspiciously, "I don't know what is worth coming to thank His Highness in person?"

"Speaking of which, this king is also very ashamed," Lu Cheng pursed his lips and said, "A few days ago, this king escorted the criminal family to Beijing, but was intercepted and killed on the way, and almost died in the forest. It was your daughter, Miss Wen, who saved me." Me, even took me in for a long time in Wen's Bieyuan..."

"Wen's other courtyard?" Father Wen exclaimed, "The businessman... are you the Mr. Bai that Xiaoxiao is talking about?"

"I did lie to Miss Wen that I was a businessman and my surname was Bai..." Lu Sheng said with some shame.

Father Wen's expression was strange, and it took him a long time to realize, "We knew about her saving lives, but we didn't know that it was His Highness..."

"If it wasn't for Ms. Wen, you probably wouldn't be able to see me today," Lu Sheng said with a wry smile, "I came today just to thank Ms. Wen in person."

Father Wen nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly became straight, his mouth was slightly opened, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Lu Sheng followed Father Wen's gaze.

The girl stood outside the door of the living room, her bright eyes sparkling.

Lu Sheng froze for a moment, then turned to face Wen Xiao.

The girl turned around suddenly and ran away.

"Xiao Xiao..." Father Wen called out, but it was in vain, Wen Xiao walked away without looking back, and ran straight into the garden.

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, said "Sorry" to Father Wen, turned around and chased in the direction Wen Xiao ran away from.

"Miss Wen...Wen Xiao!"

No matter how much Wen Xiao could run, she was still a weak woman, how could she run past Lu Sheng who had just recovered and was in his heyday, before she could find a room to run in, Lu Sheng grabbed her.

The man exerted force on his hand, forcing the girl to look at him.
