Chapter 292: A Romantic Ghost

Lu Yu was shocked.

He had never expected to meet the famous Princess Gaoyang, the woman he was about to marry, here.

According to the information provided by Li Qingcheng, it was because the Seventh Prince had studied under the Taoist Master Sanyuan when he was young that Princess Gaoyang had a close relationship with the Seventh Prince's family. Now it seems that he obviously got the cause and effect wrong. In fact, it should be that the Seventh Prince's family had a close relationship with Princess Gaoyang, so they went to study under the Taoist Master Sanyuan.

I'm afraid no outsider in the entire Kyoto knows that the Empress Hua, who is deeply favored by the emperor, and the famous Princess Gaoyang, are actually sisters from the same school. Otherwise, Zhou Zunian and others would definitely not mention such important information to him.

"I didn't expect that the first time I met the Princess would be under such circumstances. The relationship between the Princess and the Empress is so hidden!"

As Lu Yu said, he carefully examined the woman in front of him.

The daughter of the Duke, the commander of the frontier army, the junior sister of Concubine Hua, a being comparable to a god in the hearts of the people...

There is no doubt that Qin Yanzhen, who has multiple identities, is almost impeccable in appearance and almost meets the standard of Yang Chudie in Lu Yu's mind. In addition to her beautiful appearance, what is even more rare is that she has an indescribable temperament that makes people feel like spring breeze, and then they will be addicted to it unconsciously and fall into an irresistible state.

No wonder she is regarded as a god-like figure by many people. Even a rich lady like Zhou Peiling is obsessed with her and fanatical. This is obviously inseparable from her special temperament.

Such a temperament is obviously impossible to be formed naturally.

All this just confirms Lu Yu's previous guess that there is something strange about the Princess Gaoyang who is deeply loved by the people of the Dawu Dynasty!

Qin Yanzhen sat down on the stone bench in front of Lu Yu. Her beautiful figure was exposed with her movements. She was indistinguishable from Concubine Hua. The two of them sitting together had a strong visual impact.

"I heard from Pepe that you wanted to see me. Now that I'm here, you can tell me what you want to say?"

"Pepe?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Pepe she was talking about should be Zhou Peiling.

This undoubtedly confirmed another guess in his mind. When Zhou Peiling assassinated him in Julu City, she called the woman in front of her "Zhenzhen", and now she called Zhou Peiling "Pepe", which was like a close friend in the boudoir, fully showing that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

It can even be said directly that Zhou Zunian had been infiltrated and planted by the other party with the biggest spy, but he was still unaware of it.

"Oh, actually, there's nothing special... I was just arranged to be a couple with the princess for no apparent reason. I can't help but feel uneasy, so I want to meet the princess in advance. If the princess is really ugly, I can regret it and run away as soon as possible!"

Qin Yanzhen pursed her lips and smiled gently: "Now that you have met the person, do you plan to regret it and run away?"

Lu Yu blinked and said calmly: "I don't think it's a loss."

Not a loss?

The corners of Qin Yanzhen's mouth twitched. What kind of evaluation is this?

After a pause, she continued, "But, I heard from Pepe that you have already planned to run away and get together with her to reject our engagement. Is this true or not? If it is true, then I can help you!"

Lu Yu clicked his tongue twice, "It seems that Pepe really trusts you very much and tells you everything without reservation. She is so loyal to you, but you want to push her into the fire pit. Are you doing this to Pepe?"

Hua Fei on the side couldn't help laughing out loud, and said happily, "So you also know that you are a fire pit. You are very self-aware!"

Lu Yu shrugged and said without blushing, "Facts speak louder than words. If I am not a big fire pit, why would the princess be so anxious to leave me behind!"

Hua Fei's eyes moved and smiled, " I think a man like you has a special charm..."

Qin Yanzhen said: "It's not that I can put it aside. You are a smart man. You should be able to see that the engagement between you and me is a conspiracy of Zhou Zunian and others. The purpose is to seize the military power in my hands... You might as well tell me what conditions Zhou Zunian offered you in order to make you cooperate with his plan?"

Lu Yu's heart moved, and he smiled: "Why do I need any other conditions? Being able to get a beauty like Her Highness the Princess is the best condition for me!"

Qin Yanzhen glared at him: "Do you think I am as easy to fool as a three-year-old? You just said that you were worried that I was ugly, so you wanted to meet me in advance, but now you say that I am the best condition. Which one of your words is the truth?"

Lu Yu said in a daze: "Before meeting Her Highness, I did have many doubts in my heart, but after meeting Her Highness, these doubts are no longer important. What conditions can be more important than spending a night with a woman like Her Highness?"

"Besides, Her Highness has a special status. If I marry Her Highness, I will become a brother-in-law with the emperor. How many people can refuse such a great honor?"

Lu Yu deliberately pretended to be confused, looking like a sex-hungry ghost.

Qin Yanzhen frowned.

Hua Fei chuckled: "You are so naive, and you are the brother-in-law of the current emperor! I'm afraid that's all you want, right? Wouldn't it be better to make His Majesty wear a green hat?"

Lu Yu said shamelessly: "As long as the queen is willing to give me a chance, this is not a bad idea!"

Hua Fei's laughter became more unbridled: "You are really bold and daring. First you set your sights on Miss Zhou, then you set your sights on my junior sister, and now you have set your sights on me! No matter big or small, you don't want to let go of them all. Aren't you afraid that you won't know how you will die one day?"

Lu Yu laughed and said: "To die under the peony flowers, to be a ghost is also romantic! If I can die in the hibiscus tent of the princess and the queen, it would be a worthy death!"

Qin Yanzhen frowned more tightly, and a sharp light burst out of her eyes, as if she wanted to see through Lu Yu in front of her and figure out whether he was like this by nature or was deliberately pretending.

"Is there really no room for negotiation on this matter?" Qin Yanzhen asked coldly.

Feeling Qin Yanzhen's cold gaze, Lu Yu suddenly shuddered slightly, and his expression froze on his face just right.

He coughed dryly and said, "If the princess really doesn't want to, how can I force her? Let's put it this way, I have encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation recently. If you can help me with the elixir, I can consider giving up the conditions from Master Zhou."

"Isn't this simple?"

Hua Fei said from the side: "Let Eunuch He arrange for you to go to the Dawu Alchemy Bureau tomorrow. If you have any requirements, just ask Eunuch He!"

Lu Yu was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he looked helpless.

"In that case, thank you both for your help!"

"I, Wang, have always been pragmatic. I will never let go of any benefit that I can get, but if I can't get it, Wang will never linger too much!"

"It seems that tonight is a night that will not bring any benefit. Instead of lingering here, it is better to leave quickly... Empress Hua, Your Highness, I will take my leave..."

After saying that, Lu Yu got up and left, but he looked back every three steps when he left, as if he was reluctant to leave.

Until Lu Yu's figure completely disappeared, Hua Fei turned her head to look at Qin Yanzhen beside her, and said lazily: "Just let him go like this? According to the original plan, didn't you plan to kill him here directly? In order to cooperate with your plan, I even took off my clothes..."

Qin Yanzhen looked at the direction where Lu Yu left, her eyes were extremely deep.

She said slowly: "I can't see through this person's depth..."

"What?"

Hua Fei was startled, as if she had heard something incredible, and looked at her junior sister in disbelief.

"How is this possible! You are a dignified..."

Qin Yanzhen gently waved her hand to stop her from saying the most critical word.

"Let him live a few more days, and see what happens."

...

On the other side, Lu Yu walked out of Shuhua Palace.

A gust of night wind blew, and he shivered unconsciously, and then he realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The reason for this is that just now in Shuhua Palace, he had used the vision of the first star to peek at Qin Yanzhen's physical condition.

However, the result surprised him very much. In the vision of the first star, Qin Yanzhen's body was pitch black and he could not see anything.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

This is obviously not because the opponent is too powerful. In the past, when Lu Yu faced the real body, he could not use the first star peeping because those real bodies were like a huge fireball. If he peeped forcibly, he would be burned by the dazzling light and bite himself.

For the real body, he was not unable to peek, but he dared not to peek.

And Qin Yanzhen's situation was obviously not among them. She really could not peek. If she couldn't see it, she couldn't see it.

There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, Qin Yanzhen's body was protected by a transcendent power. This power may come from a treasure she carried with her, or it may be that she has it herself.

No matter where it comes from, it can make the stars that evolve the heavens unable to peek, which fully shows its extraordinaryness.

Even this transcendent power also comes from outside the nine heavens, which is not impossible.

It seems that Qin Yanzhen's background is much deeper than he imagined.

The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more strange it felt. The more he thought about it, the more scared he felt. With a heavy heart, he couldn't help but look up and look at the sky.

In the night sky, there was only a bright moon, bright and flawless, while the stars were dim.
