Chapter 87
Chu Muxi glanced at him in surprise. He knew Phil’s true identity.
So, after Phil said this, he guessed what the other person wanted to express.
It was nothing more than those intrigues between the royal family.
“When you really became an ordinary person, you would find that it was not easy for ordinary people, if people who were used to being pampered were allowed to live an ordinary life, they would not be able to bear it even if they didn’t use it for a day.”
“Forget it, you’re right, just live with it,” Phil said, though he knew if he didn’t fight back, others would really think that he was a soft persimmon.
“Speaking of which, you were quite in the limelight a while ago,” Phil changed the subject and said with a smile. “How are you doing now?”
“Why should I be in the limelight? Someone else was in the limelight,” Chu Muxi curled his lips. “It’s okay, everything that needed to be solved has been solved.”
“Come on, do you know that you are now famous among the aristocratic families? The young ladies of those aristocratic families were holding back their energy to see you.” Phil said with a smirk.
Chu Muxi said calmly: “Look, I’m not interested in them.”
“Do you think they are interested in you? They are interested in Marshal Lu who is rumored to be having an affair with you! Do you know how many people in this empire want to marry Marshal Lu? All the unmarried young girls want to marry Marshal Lu, and half of the remaining unmarried men also want to marry him. As for those who are infatuated with him, there are a lot of them. According to incomplete statistics, from the age of one hundred and eighty to six years old in the empire, everyone loves Marshal Lu!”
“So what?” Chu Muxi snorted nonchalantly. “He is already mine anyway, no one can take him away.”
Phil clicked his tongue, “As your friend, I would like to remind you in a friendly way. Others said that Princess Rachel is your strong enemy.”
Chu Muxi frowned slightly, “Rachel?”
“You don’t know? Well, His Majesty the Emperor’s favorite little daughter has been dreaming to marry Lu Junzhi and become Mrs. Lu ever since she wore nappy. If Her Highness the Princess hadn’t been only sixteen years old and not yet of marriage age, His Majesty the Emperor would have settled this matter.”
Chu Muxi was confused, “Lu Junzhi’s mother, Princess Nefu, is the biological sister of His Majesty the Emperor. Aren’t he and Princess Rachel both cousins? How can they get married?”
Phil came closer to him and whispered mysteriously: “This is a secret from the royal family. I told you as my best friend. Princess Nefu is not the emperor’s biological sister, but the daughter of a guard whom the old emperor trusted. Although the guard was just a guard on the surface, he was actually from a noble family. He was also the eldest son of the family. He and the old emperor grew up together, and later died in order to save the old emperor. His wife had a difficult childbirth in her early years, leaving only one daughter. The old emperor took his daughter directly to the palace and raised her as his own daughter. This matter is a secret of the royal family, and few outsiders know about it.”
Chu Muxi raised his eyebrows, “Then how did you know?”
Phil was stuck, broken, and speechless.
He hadn’t slept well these past few days, and his head was not clear. He only focused on telling Chu Muxi the secret, but forgot the most important point.
He was just thinking about how to explain, but Chu Muxi stopped asking further.
.
“So, what about it? In order to marry the princess to Lu Junzhi, His Majesty the Emperor is preparing to reveal this secret?” Chu Muxi asked.
Phil coughed. Although he didn’t know why Chu Muxi didn’t ask, they both knew that each other had secrets.
An important reason why Phil chose to be good friends with Chu Muxi was because Chu Muxi would not question him to the end.
“Perhaps, Lu Junzhi’s status is getting higher and higher, and he has become an invincible god of war in the hearts of the people of the empire, a kind of cult leader now. Even though he has a close relationship with the royal family, the emperor is a suspicious person, and his achievements shock the world. The emperor naturally hopes that the relationship between them can be closer.”
Chu Muxi tapped his fingers on the table and fell into deep thought.
