Chapter 274 - 274 Are You Jealous?

274 Are You Jealous?

The fourth prince, who was already on the way, definitely couldn’t return empty-handed. Therefore, he could also set off in the name of patrolling the border on behalf of the emperor.

Most importantly, the fourth prince had taken the initiative this time, so his trip to the north was a show of his victory.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the road was, he definitely wouldn’t retreat!

“Oh.” Hearing that the fourth prince’s arrival had nothing to do with them, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief and lost interest in this matter.

If that was the case, what did the fourth prince’s arrival have to do with her?

Instead of worrying about this, continuing to study the prescription in her hand was more meaningful! After all, the situation of those soldiers wasn’t that optimistic, so they had to think of a new way to ease the situation!

“At that time, we won’t be able to avoid interacting with him.” Seeing that Lin Suisui was dealing with medical matters again, Lu Ze couldn’t help but remind her.

“Oh… Huh?!” Lin Suisui suddenly stopped flipping through the book and looked up at Lu Ze in confusion. “Why should we interact with him? Could it be that the fourth prince brought women along and needs women to receive them?!”

Lin Suisui’s thoughts were very simple.

The person who came was only the fourth prince, so Lu Ze and the others would definitely be the ones to interact with him. She was a woman, so why did she have to take the initiative to go out and meet strangers?

When Lu Ze saw that Lin Suisui was rendered speechless by his words, he froze for a long time before coming back to his senses and couldn’t help but laugh. “Although that’s the case, there’s no harm in being more prepared.”

“Do you want to ask me something?” Lin Suisui realized that Lu Ze’s tone and attitude were a little abnormal today.

She put down the medical book in her hand and stood up from behind the table. Then, she moved to the short couch where Lu Ze was sitting and sat down. She tugged at Lu Ze’s wide sleeve as she asked him with a smile.

Lu Ze continued to focus on the dossier in his hand and didn’t immediately respond to Lin Suisui’s question.

Lin Suisui didn’t give up because of Lu Ze’s avoidance. She increased the strength in her hand and continued to tug at Lu Ze’s sleeve. “Are you jealous?”

“I’m just giving you the reminder you deserve.” Lu Ze was helpless. He could only retract his attention from the dossier and look at Lin Suisui helplessly. “What are you thinking about?”

“Is that so?” Lin Suisui tilted her head and sized Lu Ze up dubiously.

Lu Ze nodded. His tone and attitude didn’t reveal anything “It’s just that this happened a little suddenly, so I told you in advance so that you could be prepared!

“However, you’re right. Even if the fourth prince comes, he won’t have many chances to meet you. I was indeed worrying a little too much about this!”

Lu Ze coughed softly. He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Suisui, so after giving what he thought was an impeccable explanation, he tried his best to change the topic. “By the way, what do you plan to do with those soldiers who are addicted to hemp leaves?”

“You’ve already asked this question on the way back!”

Lin Suisui chuckled and exposed, “You even suggested that they be moved to another courtyard! Have you forgotten so quickly?!”

“I’m not jealous. I just regret it.” Lu Ze sighed and reached out to pull Lin Suisui, who was laughing beside him, into his arms as he said softly, “I regret not meeting you earlier!”

“But I don’t remember much about what happened between the fourth prince and me!” Lin Suisui wrapped her arms around Lu Ze’s waist to comfort him. “Moreover, it’s not just about him. I don’t remember many things from before!

I don’t know what I was like in the past, but I think that since I liked the fourth prince, I probably wasn’t that likable in the past!

Therefore, that wouldn’t have been the right time to meet me!

Because you definitely wouldn’t have liked me!”

“Why are you so sure that I wouldn’t like you?” Lu Ze rested his chin on the top of Lin Suisui’s head gently and his heart ached for some reason. “If I had met you earlier, I might have brought you to the north earlier. This way, you wouldn’t have had those bad encounters in the capital that you don’t want to remember.”

“Let’s not talk about the past anymore!” Lin Suisui patted Lu Ze’s back gently. She was even more open-minded than him. “It’s a new year, a new beginning! Why talk about this now?! Why don’t we talk about something else?!

I heard that the blessings at Cold Mountain Temple are quite effective. Why don’t we go to Cold Mountain Temple tomorrow?! Last time, we said that we were going to admire plum blossoms, but we encountered that accident. Until now, I’ve only heard people say that the plum blossoms at Cold Mountain Temple are good, but I’ve never seen them with my own eyes!

It’s the second day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow, so can we go over and take a look?”

“Alright.” Lu Ze nodded and agreed to Lin Suisui’s suggestion.

No matter what, she was right. The past was in the past. What was important was that they still had a lifetime ahead of them!

After agreeing to go to the Cold Mountain Temple, Lu Ze immediately instructed Su Qi to make arrangements. Pei Qian, who was only separated from them by a wall, naturally noticed their business.

After knowing Lu Ze’s schedule for tomorrow, Pei Qian couldn’t help but be a little dumbfounded. He stared at Lu Ze in exasperation as he said, “The fourth prince will reach Cloud Mountain City in less than three days, but you’re actually in the mood to go to the Cold Mountain Temple to pray?”

“Why not?” Lu Ze met Pei Qian’s gaze and replied frankly, “You’re in charge of Cloud Mountain City now. It’s the new year, so why can’t I accompany my wife to Cold Mountain Temple to pray and admire plums?!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What about the fourth prince?!” Pei Qian was furious, but of course, he knew that Lu Ze was right. Even the beggars on the street celebrated the new year. He couldn’t drag Lu Ze to accompany him on official business during the new year!

But why did he feel so uncomfortable when he heard the person in front of him say this arrangement so matter-of-factly?!

“What does the fourth prince’s arrival have to do with me accompanying my wife to the Cold Mountain Temple tomorrow?!” Lu Ze looked at Pei Qian and asked seriously, “Could it be that the fourth prince wants to stay at the Cold Mountain Temple? Will we disturb him?!”
