Chapter 360



360 Why did you kick me?

“Yo! Little brother ye, black-clothed kid, old fortune, your third aunt is here? Didn’t second brother bring you guys along? If you continue, you’ll be out of the village. Be careful not to get lost!” Grandma Xiao said with a smile when she saw the three of them. She was ready to go to the mountain to pick herbs with grandma Gu.

“aunt xiao, are you planning to dig for wild vegetables?” the emperor asked when he saw her carrying a basket and carrying a backpack. there were also tools in the basket.

Now that he knew Lu Zheng’s identity, he naturally wanted to know who grandma Xiao was.

Although this old lady looked very different from how she used to look, one would still be able to recognize her if they looked closely.

Back then, he had watched as old lady Xiao and old lady Gu beat Lu Zhenyuan up in the capital city, beating him half to death. He had also secretly stopped people from sending a message to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.

he admired this kind of old lady, who dared to do anything for her children, just like his mother and royal grandmother, who did it purely for their children and not for power or status.

“Why are you digging wild vegetables? I don’t feed pigs or chickens at home. I’m going to pick herbs. I forgot to tell you that I’m a doctor. If you have a headache or a fever, I’ll get you some herbs. It’ll definitely cure you!” Grandma Xiao said with a smile.

The Emperor: ” Hello, Zhenzhen. Then we won’t delay aunt Xiao any longer. Let’s walk around again.

As expected of the old lady he admired. In the first month of the lunar year, she told people that she had a headache and a fever, hehehe.

“Alright then! Remember this! The village entrance is just ahead, don’t get lost! i’ll ask old gu to find someone to accompany you!” grandma xiao waved her hand and left.

……

The weather was good and the sun was bright. Lu Zheng took out grandma Xiao’s herbs to dry. Just as he was fiddling with them, the door was pushed open.

“Yo! It’s uncle ye and young master Xue!” lu zheng greeted her with a smile, his hands not stopping.

“Yo! It’s the heir of the country guarding Duke, Lu Erlang! I didn’t expect to meet you here!” The Emperor said with a fake smile.

Lu Zheng’s hand paused for a moment before he continued to fiddle with the herbs.”Uncle ye, don’t make fun of this junior! I’ve taken my mother’s surname, and my mother gave me a name when she gave birth to me. What country guarding duke’s son! I’m just a young man from the countryside!”

The Emperor slowly walked in,”is that so?” A young man from the countryside? If you don’t admit it now, then this one will also treat you as a country boy in the future!”

Lu Zheng, who had already prepared the herbs, was shocked. He stood up and knelt down.”This commoner greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!”

The Emperor walked closer and patted his shoulder. “The country boy thinks I am the Emperor?”

“I don’t!” Lu Zheng shook his head. However, the Emperor calls himself “Zhen.” This commoner believes that in this world, other than the Emperor, there is probably no one else who would dare to use this title!”

The Emperor kicked him,”you little brat, you ran away the day before yesterday when you saw Qian Yu and pretended that you just met him.” do you think that just because you said that you took your mother’s surname, zhen would not punish you for lying to the sovereign?”

Lu Zheng kneeled, his head lowered and not saying a word.

The Emperor gave him another kick. get up and speak properly. Don’t make it look like I’m bullying a young man!

“Qianqian thanks the Emperor!”

You’re bullying me, and I’m not your subject. Why did you kick me?

“did you tell the gu family my identity?” the emperor asked.

“No,” Lu Zheng shook his head without hesitation. That day, I told second uncle that I met an annoying person and wanted to hide.”
