Although he is the descendant of Emperor Li, Luo Jing does not have much resentment towards this empress who has a "blood feud" with him.
Of course, I don't have any good feelings about it.
After all, this old woman was extremely foolish in the second half of her life, and achieved almost all the achievements that a foolish monarch could achieve.
Such as being obsessed with beauty, favoring treacherous women, killing loyal ministers, etc.
Speaking of crimes, the crimes committed by this old woman in the second half of her life are too numerous to list.
Because she was obsessed with beauty, she even had a special female official who would go to the streets of the capital to pick handsome men for her. After they were chosen, they would be stuffed directly into boxes and sent to the palace for the empress to enjoy.
The most ridiculous one was during the imperial examination one year. Among the newly admitted scholars, there was an extremely handsome man. So soon after the palace examination began, Empress Lu Zhao forcibly stopped the examination and drove all the scholars out, leaving only the most handsome man to enjoy on the spot.
In the end, the scholar could not bear the humiliation and hit the pillar with his head, and died on the hall, with blood all over the floor...
As a handsome man, Luo Jing felt that if he went to the capital, he would most likely be in trouble.
So it is impossible for him to have a good impression of the Queen.
The Queen's stupidity and incompetence, and the killing of loyal ministers, had nothing to do with him.
But being obsessed with male beauty is very fatal to him.
Therefore, when Luo Jing heard that Tie Xuan Shen Zhan was going to send him to the capital to let the empress see him with her own eyes and verify his identity, Luo Jing panicked.
Death comes second.
He was afraid that before he died, he would be enjoyed by that old woman...
That would definitely be more painful than death!
So when Lu Li said that the Queen might not be able to hold on, Luo Jing immediately perked up and hurried to confirm.
It would be great if the empress died before he went to the capital.
Luo Jing looked expectant.
"Zhizhen" looked at Luo Jing in silence, obviously misunderstanding his meaning.
She clasped her hands together and sighed, "Mr. Lu, after all, you are the blood of the Li Emperor. Even if His Majesty dies, it will be difficult for the throne to fall on you."
"After all, many descendants of the ministers who deposed Emperor Li are still holding important positions in the court. Those people don't want to see the descendants of Emperor Li ascend to the throne."
"If Her Majesty dies, the most likely scenario is that the ministers will look for an outstanding candidate from among the royal family's side branches to succeed her..."
Lu Li obviously thought that Luo Jing was eyeing the throne, so he explained the facts in advance to dispel Luo Jing's fantasy.
Luo Jing looked at his stupid sister in silence, and said with his hands spread out: "Does Zhizhen Buddha think that I really want to be the emperor? What I'm asking is if the empress dies, will I still be beheaded..."
"If the Queen dies and there is no time to issue a follow-up imperial decree, will I still be forced to be beheaded?"
"Normally when a new emperor ascends the throne, he will grant amnesty to the entire nation..."
Luo Jing asked curiously.
Lu Li sighed, clasped his hands together and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Lu... Even if His Majesty passed away, Mr. Lu would still be sent to the capital to be beheaded."
"After all, the last order left by His Majesty was to send Mr. Lu to the capital and then behead him in front of her in person."
"Even if your majesty is dead and cannot witness it with his own eyes, Mr. Lu will still be beheaded."
"As for the amnesty after the new emperor takes the throne... Let's not talk about whether Mr. Lu can survive until the day when the new emperor takes the throne. Even if he really survives until the day when the new emperor takes the throne, the amnesty will not pardon the death row prisoners."
Lu Li's words left Luo Jing speechless.
"So I'm going to die anyway?"
Looking at his adopted sister, Luo Jing asked, "Master Zhizhen, do you have any way to help me? If I want to escape from the Night Walk Office, do you have any good suggestions?"
Luo Jing asked jokingly.
Zhizhen put his hands together and said, "Mr. Lu, please don't laugh. I am alone and weak. How can I help you?"
"Not to mention that there are three great gods following him in the Night Walk Division. With Master Lu's current cultivation level, it would be harder than ascending to heaven to escape."
"But I heard that the King of Zhenbei is going to Beijing with Mr. Lu."
"He wants to personally accompany Mr. Lu to the capital to meet the emperor... If the Zhenbei Palace comes forward, maybe they can help Mr. Lu."
"After all, the Zhenbei Palace is the pillar of the Divine Dynasty, and its words still carry a lot of weight."
Lu Li continued to play the role of Zhizhen in a serious manner, and revealed the secrets through this identity.
Luo Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the warning Lu Li gave him last time.
—Be careful, King Zhenbei.
But now is not the right time to ask Lu Li why he should be careful of King Zhenbei, but King Zhenbei wants to accompany him to Beijing
Luo Jing laughed jokingly and said, "Can the King of Zhenbei really be trusted? As far as I know, he hasn't had a good life in recent years."
"His Zhenbei Palace is already in turmoil and full of hidden dangers. Isn't it even more outrageous to expect him to help me?"
Luo Jing continued to ask.
Lu Li clasped his hands together and said seriously, "But Prince Zhenbei is the only force that Mr. Lu can rely on now."
At this point, Lu Li paused and added: "At least the only person that Mr. Lu can rely on is the King of Zhenbei."
"Unless Mr. Lu is secretly cultivating wings."
As Lu Li spoke, he looked at Luo Jing, his facial expression unchanged, but his eyes were full of meaning.
“If Master Lu still has some followers in secret, maybe we can count on them to help… Of course, given Master Lu’s current situation, I guess that even if you really trained some subordinates, those people would probably have dispersed.”
"Even if they didn't disperse, they probably wouldn't have the courage to come and save people."
Lu Li's words startled Luo Jing and made him feel warm in his heart.
This cheap sister... is she telling Luo Jing not to worry about her and that she won't act rashly unless she is absolutely sure
In other words, this girl was indeed preparing to rescue Luo Jing.
Looking at "Zhi Zhen" in front of him, Luo Jing smiled helplessly and said, "My luck is not right and my fate is unfortunate. If I really die in the palace, there is nothing I can do."
"I only hope that my death will not implicate the people I cherish."
"Zhizhen Buddhist, thank you for your Buddhist teachings," Luo Jing sighed and said, "You can go back now."
"If there is a chance, I hope you will be the one to pray for my soul after I die."
"Of course, I hope you will never have this opportunity..."
Watching the young "monk" in a moon-white monk robe leave the courtyard, Luo Jing in the yard sighed deeply.
Suddenly, I felt a heavy, full and warm feeling in my heart.
The panic feeling of impending death seemed to have dissipated a lot.
It was the first time for Luo Jing to feel that there was a loved one who was willing to take risks for him and cherish his life so much.
Although this cheap sister came a little outrageously, but now it seems... not bad.
Perhaps this trip to the capital is not as bad as imagined.
After all, it is impossible that the mysterious organization that attacked the queen would only act once, right
Luo Jing believed that this group of people was so powerful that the Queen would definitely not live to see the next year.
As long as the queen dies, Luo Jing's situation will be much easier.
As long as the three great divine slayers are no longer defending against Luo Jing, then Lu Li and the others might have a chance.
