The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
28. Meet Zhu Man Xie To Run Mission
Lu Jing Yu's hand recovered quickly. Ever since Pei Zhang Xi left that night Lu Jing Yu had not seen him again. If he was the real Lu Jing Yu he would already be angry and make a fuss. But once the host was replaced, he was completely changed. Not only was he not angry, he was already busy carrying out his mission. Approaching Zhu Man Xie to pave the way for the small couple to reunite and save him from a tragic final fate.
Today Lu Jing Yu invited Zhu Man Xi to come meet him. At first he wanted to meet him himself at the minister Zhu's residence. After all, there would be suspicions if they met at King Rui's residence. Rumors of King Rui's and Zhu Man Xie's closeness were an open secret. But the plan was rejected by Xiao Bei. Lu Jing Yu's status was higher than Zhu Man Xie's. If you meet at the residence is also not a good thing. That was why he had Xiao Bei invite Zhu Man Xie to a five-star restaurant in the capital to meet him.
Zhu Man Xie should have come in thirty minutes. Lu Jing Yu deliberately came early so that he could better prepare himself. He walked with Xiao Bei behind him. Quan Yuan, who had only received punishment after the last time he neglected to protect her, was re-hired. This time he decided not to repeat the same mistake. He would not allow any danger to approach Lu Jing Yu.
"Empress Rui please be here." The servant in charge greeted Lu Jing Yu to take them to the second floor. The most luxurious private room there has been booked for them.
Lu Jing Yu walked in and observed the circumstances. Then he nodded with satisfaction. It deserves to be the most expensive room. The arrangements and the entire items in this room all looked good and of high quality. Even tea sets also look beautiful on the table. Looks beautiful and elegant.
Quan Yuan stood to the side. Xiao Bei poured the freshly brewed tea for Lu Jing Yu who had already picked up her book and read the book.
"The Empress, Miss Zhu is here." The waiter waiting outside gave him news.
"Please come in." Lu Jing Yu put down her book. He looked up and smiled to welcome Zhu Man Xie's arrival.
"Greetings Empress Rui." Today Zhu Man Xie wears an ivory-yellow ghost. As usual, she looks beautiful and soft. He bowed his body to pay his respects as he had just walked into the room. His servant girl followed him behind.
"Miss Zhu need not be polite. Come quickly and sit down. Let's have tea together."
"Thank you, Empress." Zhu Man Xie smiled warmly and advanced. He sat across from Lu Jing Yu.
"I'm sorry for coming late. I'll drink three cups of tea to change the wine." Zhu Man Xie gestured for his servant girl to pour tea for him.
"no need. Miss Zhu will be bloated if you drink too much later. Miss Zhu is not too late either. I came in intentionally faster. Heums. Inside the residence is very boring." Lu Jing Yu blew the hair on her forehead involuntarily.
"Empress Rui is very kind. Then I will thank you for the grace of the Empress who had invited me to lunch."
"No problem. I heard that the food in this restaurant is the best. All can try it. The waiter serves the food." Lu Jing Yu said.
"The Empress Rui was right. Several times I came here and the taste and quality of the food here was good." Zhu Man Xie smiled. He sipped his tea elegantly.
"..." - ".Wasn't this Zhu Man Xie novel described as a gentle, kind young lady? Shouldn't he be inferior and not arrogant? But from his attitude just now it didn't seem the same as it was written in the novel. Unless it's true that she's very pretty. Others don't seem the same.
Lu Jing Yu raised her abis as she thought. Then he also sipped tea to ease the shock of what the stone had found.
'The more remembered the more things do not fit the novel. What's the sad ending for me doesn't actually exist? But I can't relax and wait for the uncertain. I have to fight.' Lu Jing Yu muttered.
Food is served to the table. Everything is delicious food and the pride of the restaurant. And of course, it has a high price as well.
"I don't know what Miss Zhu likes. So I ordered some menus. Hope something Miss Zhu likes." Lu Jing Yu smiled.
"Empress Rui is very generous. All the food here is expensive. How could I dare to like it."
"Good then." Lu Jing Yu picked up the chopsticks and started filling her bowl with food. Zhu Man Xie followed politely.
"Empress Rui definitely didn't invite me just to eat, did she?" Said Zhu Man Xie as they were just eating.
"really. Miss Zhu is indeed as rumored. Smart and reasonable."
"Thank you for the queen's praise."
"Of course the Queen could ask anything. If I can answer I will gladly answer." Zhu Man Xie put down his chopsticks. Bend both hands on the table. He's done eating. As the number one young miss of the empire, she had to keep her image. Including the shape of his body that he must always pay attention to.
"yeah. That's good."
"What does the Empress want to ask me?"
"Look. This is about the rumors about Miss Zhu and my husband mmm." Lu Jing Yu raised his head. His face started to get serious as he looked at Zhu Man Xie meticulously.
"Eh... The Empress seemed to have misunderstood. Between me and His Majesty King Rui there is really nothing." Zhu Man Xie and dodged.
"Miss Zhu may have misunderstood. I'm also not the one who would believe in a house just like that."
"So, what does the Empress want to ask me?"
"Look. I wonder, how do you like my husband?"
"Empress, isn't this question a little inappropriate? The Empress was the wife of King Rui. Asking like this is too awkward."
"It's okay. Please answer honestly."
Zhu Man Xie looked nervous. Worry was clearly visible on his face. Didn't the house say that Lu Jing Yu was stupid? How could he ask in such a trap way? If he replied that he liked Pei Zhang Xi, his name would be tainted.
All this time he had painstakingly built up his noble image. Being able to be paired with Pei Zhang Xi for so many years was also not easy. He had already spent a lot of money to pay some people to spread the news of his closeness to Pei Zhang Xi. The man who had been her first love while she was still naive.
If she dodged it, people would say that she was actually just a hypocritical girl. Nah! That can't happen. But.....
Zhu Man Xie raised his cup and sipped the tea slowly to restore his composure. This trick question should be answered well. Slowly he looked at Lu Jing Yu's serious-looking face in front of him.
"The Empress, King Rui is a good person and also handsome. No one will deny that fact. But the Empress was King Rui's current wife. So the Empress shouldn't have thought of such a thing. Regarding my feelings, there is also no need for the Empress to worry. The empress can believe I won't do anything unreasonable." Zhu Man Xie replied calmly.
"Miss Zhu is right."
"alright. If there's nothing else to talk about, I say goodbye."
"alright. Thank you for fulfilling this invitation. Next time I hope there's another chance."
"I wish it was like that too." Zhu Man Xie saluted before he came out together with his servant.
