Chapter 49
Those who practice martial arts are particularly sensitive to the sound of footsteps. Lu Mingyu's ear is far superior to ordinary people's, and as soon as she heard it, she knew that the person who was coming here is a prince and not the elegant and dignified Queen Qiao.
Lu Mingyu turned around and glanced over.
Lu Mingyu's body stiffened slightly when she saw who was coming.
A slender figure stood at the door of the room. Standing against the light, the boy's face was a little blurry. Only a pair of black eyes, surprisingly bright, locked her tightly.
How could it be him!
Lu Mingyu was shocked, her pupils contracted slightly, and she subconsciously clenched her right fist.
The boy in the bright yellow prince's dress approached slowly. The boy's face gradually became clearer and came into view. Thick eyebrows, bright eyes, straight nose, beautiful lips.
As handsome as jade, as graceful as a giant.
It was actually the second prince Li Jing.
The long-term memory that was hidden in the bottom of her heart, erupted like a volcanic eruption.
Lu Mingyu is bright and upright by nature. She only did one bad thing in her past life. Only she and Li Hao knew about that secret, and even his mother, Empress Dowager Su was kept in the dark.
Now that she thinks about it, the reason Li Hao and her, in her previous life gradually became estranged, was inseparable from this secret!
After all, which man could not be shocked after seeing her divine power and amazing skills, and then not be afraid in his heart? After all, this is the era of patriarchal supremacy. As a man, one is absolutely reluctant to admit that he is inferior to the wife he married.
Therefore, Li Hao only accepted the weak and lovely cousin who was crying and weeping at every turn to enter the palace to satisfy his pride and self-esteem as an emperor and a man.
She thought about it for a while.
Thinking back to the moment.
Queen Qiao called her into the palace, and it turned out that there was a Second Prince behind her back to "contribute". Lu Mingyu recovered from the shock and looked at the Second Prince with mixed feelings.
…
The Second Prince stopped three meters away and kept a proper distance from Lu Mingyu to be respectful.
Lu Mingyu calmed down and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
"Fourth Miss Lu," the Second Prince's voice was warm and sweet, especially pleasant: "You and I have never met before. How do you recognize who I am when you saw me?"
Lu Mingyu: "..."
Under the agitation of her mind, she even forgot about this.
That's right, she doesn't need to be nervous and guilty.
At this time, she and the Second Prince are still strangers, and she has never done anything to feel sorry for him!
Lu Mingyu's thoughts flashed, she stood up straight and answered calmly: "This is Jiaofang Palace. The only one who can enter and leave the side hall at will, if I think of it, can only be His Royal Highness Second Prince."
The Second Prince fixedly looked at Lu Mingyu in front of him.
A fifteen-year-old girl, with a smooth face, beautiful and cold, and cold eyes. There is no fear on her face seeing him, a noble prince.
"You are right." The Second Prince opened his mouth with a light expression: "We are five brothers, the eldest brother is the oldest, and the third brother is very familiar to you. I am the only one who is similar in age to the third brother."
Somehow, there is always a deep meaning in these words.
Lu Mingyu didn't want to think about it deeply, so she answered lightly, avoiding the important point: "Today, the Queen Mother called me for an interview. I never thought that I would meet Your Highness by chance."
The Second Prince said leisurely: "Miss Lu is a smart person, so why pretend to be stupid? Of course, today is not a chance encounter, I specifically begged my mother to announce you to the palace. Early in the morning, I specially came to Jiaofangdian to wait for you."
Lu Mingyu: "..."
The bad premonition in her heart became more and more obvious.
Lu Mingyu couldn't tell where that dangerous feeling came from.
Intuition told her that the Second Prince in front of her came with bad intentions. She has to get out of here quickly, and it is not advisable to entangle with him too much.
"His Royal Highness is joking." Lu Mingyu quickly took over the words: "It is quite inappropriate for an unmarried man and an unmarried woman to be alone in a room. I heard that Your Highness has been reading poetry and books since childhood, full of moral knowledge, and the most respectful manners. Our meeting in this manner, it's really discordant with etiquette. I'll retire first."
After saying that, she said goodbye and walked away.
Just walked a few steps, and before she passed the Second Prince, the Second Prince's voice sounded faintly: "Fourth Miss Lu, what are you afraid of?"
Knowing that it was an aggressive approach, Lu Mingyu still stopped and looked over: "His Royal Highness said something interesting. I want to retire and leave, what's so scary?"
The two were three feet apart and looked at each other.
Lu Mingyu straightened her waist and confronted the Second Prince calmly. Only those who are familiar with her temperament can see a trace of guilt beneath her calm appearance.
The Second Prince stared at Lu Mingyu for a long time and suddenly laughed.
This smile is like a spring breeze, like a hundred flowers blooming suddenly.
"Lu Mingyu," the Second Prince called her by her boudoir name, and there was a strange light in his black eyes: "You don't want to know, why do I want to see you?"
Lu Mingyu is accustomed to going straight to the point, and she hates this way of talking around the corner the most in her life. She hates it even more when someone deliberately sounds mysterious.
Strangely, she even endured it today.
Well, she is broad-minded and does not care about the Second Prince.
"I don't know why Your Highness wants to see me?" Lu Mingyu changed her mind and asked: "You and I have never met, nor do we know each other. I really can't think of any reason why Your Highness wants to see me."
The Second Prince responded calmly: "Whether you really don't understand or pretend you don't, since you asked, I'll explain it clearly."
"A month ago, I begged the royal father to grant a marriage. I didn't expect that the third brother also liked you. I also didn't expect that after King Xingyang entered the palace, he blocked the royal father's intention to propose marriage on the grounds of recruiting a son-in-law."
"My third brother and I had a quarrel in front of the royal family, and the fight angered our royal father, and he beat our two brothers. I had to lie down on a couch to recover from my injuries, and I can't walk as usual until today. So, I can't wait to see you and express my heart to you."
"Lu Mingyu, I want to marry you."
Lu Mingyu: "..."
The sky is thundering, but that's it.
Lu Mingyu's mind was blank for a moment.
Fortunately, her expression was well controlled, and she didn't show the stupid look of her jaw-dropping, and her face was still as calm as ice: "Your Highness, stop joking."
"I haven't even seen your Highness before, how could Your Highness have the idea of begging to marry me?"
The Second Prince stared at the girl who was almost cold-hearted and said in a gentle voice, "King Xingyang is brave and good at fighting, and is a famous general. He is upright and moral and dedicated to serving the country. I admire King Xingyang as a man, so I want to marry Fourth Miss Lu as my wife sincerely. How could it be a joke?"
Another long silence.
Lu Mingyu gritted her teeth and glared at the Second Prince fiercely.
If a person's eyes can kill people, Lu Mingyu doesn't mind letting the Second Prince die again.
Hateful!
Damn!
Too hateful too hateful!
At first, she thought it was a gift from God that made her reborn.
Now she knows. God did not spare her at all.
She wants to avenge Su Zhaorong and Li Chang.
But she didn't know that the Second Prince who died under the arrow of her secret was also reborn to seek revenge against her!
