Chapter 138

Chu Zongge and Xue ronghua sent Fu Fei to chenghuan hall and returned to Xinyang hall. From a distance, they saw a thin shadow inside. The maid in waiting replied that Princess Poyang had been waiting here for a long time.

Chu Lingyun turned around. Raised his eyebrows. "Where did you go? I've been waiting for a long time."

"I didn't know you would come," Chu Zongge held Xue ronghua's hand and introduced her into the hall. "We just met the empress Fu Fei and had a few words with her. We also sent her back to chenghuan hall."

Chu Lingyun said sarcastically, "you imperial brother is really a good example. I'm going to see Fu Fei another day."

"Forget it," Chu Zongge looked at her helplessly. "Fu Fei's temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha."

"What are you afraid I'm going to do with Fu Fei? I'm going to the state of Qi." Chu Lingyun said with a smile.

Chu Zongge frowned, "didn't you find the lady who can replace you?"

"Still looking slowly."

"You should hurry up," Xue ronghua said with a faint smile. "I heard that Zhao Jieyu has prepared your dowry, and even her wedding clothes have been made."

"Really? Zhao Jieyu wanted me to go faster," chulingyun sneered. "Did the prospective Princess go to see the wedding dress? It can also be a reference for you and Duanwang's wedding."

Xue ronghua smiled and said, "our wedding dress can't compare with one tenth of yours. I haven't seen it, but I heard that the emperor specially ordered someone to embroider a divine bird with gold thread."

"Divine bird?" Chu Zongge touched his chin thoughtfully. "When the mother imperial concubine was granted the title of Madam, there was also a divine bird on her auspicious clothes."

"As soon as I listened to the emperor's special order, I knew that he was recalling Mrs. Heyi on others," Chu Lingyun raised a sneer. "All this is nothing but work in vain."

Chu Zongge glanced at Chu Lingyun and asked, "your maid who looks like you. Why didn't she follow you?"

"Do you mean Xiang He," Chu Lingyun smiled gently, "she is ill and resting in the palace."

"Oh," Chu Zongge lowered his eyelids, "have you gone to the emperor?"

"I saw him in the imperial study just yesterday."

Chu Zongge raised his head and said, "did you tell him you didn't want to marry?"

"Yes," Chu Lingyun said with a sad smile, "he just wants to drive me out of Daqin."

Chu Zongge and Xue ronghua opened their eyes in disbelief and stared at her.

"Why are you so surprised," Chu Lingyun said calmly, "you can see that the emperor can't tolerate me."

"Emperor..." Chu Zongge said hard, "why can't the emperor tolerate you?"

"Yes, it's too sudden," Xue ronghua said eagerly. "Aren't you the emperor's favorite princess? Why did the emperor suddenly grant you the title of marriage princess? There's no place to maneuver."

"The so-called love is just what he says," Chu Lingyun's eyes darkened. "Just like the concubines in the back palace, all the glory depends on him."

"But you are still Mrs. Heyi's daughter after all," Xue ronghua bit his lip. "The emperor loves Mrs. Heyi most. He won't send her daughter thousands of miles away."

"That's why the emperor wants to drive me out of Daqin," Chu Lingyun narrowed his eyes dangerously. "The emperor suspects that I'm not his child."

"Not his child?" Chu Zongge couldn't smile bitterly. "How can you not be the emperor's child."

"The emperor said that my prince Chen was. When he lived in the luanfeng palace with Mrs. Heyi, the prince Chen once came to see her," Chu Lingyun sighed deeply. "Mrs. Heyi was once the fiancee of Prince Chen. Later, when the emperor saw her, she took love with a knife and became a concubine in the palace."

Xue ronghua was struck by lightning for an instant. In a trance, she remembered the story that the king of Jin had told her when he was alive. It turned out that the story of taking love with a sword was not only about the former crown prince and the king of Jin, but also about the emperor and Prince Chen.

"The imperial concubine was robbed by the emperor from his brother," Chu Zongge was stunned, "so the emperor doubted your identity?"

"It was the former queen who made him suspicious," Chu Lingyun clenched his clothes. "The Emperor gave her poison to kill herself. Before she died, she told the emperor that Prince Chen had been to luanfeng palace to see Mrs. Heyi. She suspected that I was not the emperor's child."

"I'm afraid the former queen is resenting the emperor and has kept Mrs. Heyi as her own daughter for 18 years," Xue ronghua said calmly. "Don't believe the former Queen's words. A person who is about to die naturally tries to drag his back."

"I didn't believe the dirty water poured on me by the former queen," Chu Lingyun sniffed. "It's just a mother daughter scene. She can say such words to kill me."

"No wonder the emperor has never seen you since the death of the former queen," Chu Zongge felt that things were moving in a direction that was difficult to control. "It turned out that the former queen was interfering."

"Now that the emperor has determined that your blood is impure and your identity is in doubt, he wants to drive your fake Princess out of the palace?"

"Yes," Chu Lingyun stared at them faintly, "there is no room for turning back. I have asked the emperor to send me to Daqi."

"The prospective Princess and I will help. We will never let you become the concubine of the emperor of Qi," Chu Zongge said firmly, "but you must find someone who can replace you as soon as possible."

"I already have a suitable candidate," Chu Lingyun paused, looked at him and continued, "the emperor and Mrs. Heyi are not the fairy couple we imagined. Mrs. Heyi has never loved the emperor. Even the tragic death of Liu Jiajun is a trap made up by the emperor."

Chu Zongge trembled all over and asked, "what's going on?"

"The emperor once answered you that the reason why he didn't let you be a prince was that Mrs. Heyi didn't want her children to become a monarch," Chu Lingyun swallowed and said in a sorry tone, "I think the emperor's real reason is that Mrs. Heyi has never loved him, and their crystallization is also the product of resentment and entanglement. He doesn't want to see a child born under the oppression of power sit in the Dragon chair."

Chu Zongge clenched his hands into fists, "the emperor thought so."

"Of course, it's not your fault, nor is it Mrs. Heyi's fault," Chu Lingyun flashed a trace of cruelty at the bottom of his eyes. "It's all the tragedy caused by the cold-blooded king, so we all struggle in this tragedy, but we can't find any way out."

"Mother, do you want to take a small vase for the peony flower?"

"No need," Li shuse glanced at the peony with a few broken petals and turned his head coldly, "it's not a rare thing. Just throw it in the garden."

Skinny Xiang looked at the flowers with some pity. "The peony is very beautiful. There is no pink peony in our Palace this year."

"If you like it, bring the gardener to the palace to plant a few flowers," Li chuse leaned lazily on the beauty's couch, "don't care too much about this one."

Thin incense nodded skillfully and said with a smile, "the relationship between the princess to be and Duanwang is very good. I don't know why they didn't get married for so long?"

"It's because of good feelings that we don't care when we get married," Li shuse gently touched the corners of his lips. "We care about what people do at home. Just give gifts when we get married."

Thin incense carefully peeked at her and asked, "my mother doesn't seem to like walking with Duanwang."

"Nothing. It's really hard for the palace to bear a pair of twins. I can't squeeze any expression on my face."

"The princess to be said that her mother is pregnant with a dragon and Phoenix fetus," thin Xiang clapped her hands happily, "so that her mother, the princess and the prince will have both."

Li xuse's lips showed a shallow smile, "if the palace didn't know that the prospective Princess hadn't passed through the door, it thought she had been pregnant with a child. It's reasonable to analyze. It's a hundred times more powerful than the imperial doctor. I really admire her."

Thin incense washed her hands and brought up the long boiled anti abortion medicine. "The princess to be grew up in the prime minister's house. After seeing her aunt's pregnancy, she naturally has some experience. Maybe she was really told by the princess to be that it's a pair of dragon and Phoenix fetuses."

"The aunt in the prime minister's house didn't have a child, and she was the only daughter in the house. Where did she get the experience," Li chuse reached out to take the medicine bowl, "it's just nonsense."

"Does the empress really think it's a pair of princesses, as the star watcher said?"

"This is not something we should think about. Naturally, people in the harem help the palace rack their brains," Li shuse gently wiped the residual juice at the corner of his mouth. "I heard that several new people came in the palace?"

"Three of them have been admitted, and the Cainv and talented people have been sealed. One Cainv has already served in bed."

"The palace is pregnant now, and Zhao Jieyu can't be the only one in the palace," Li chuse sneered. "The emperor's new concubine really shows that he has no interest in Jieyu's sister?"

"Yes," said thin Xiang with a slight smile, "Jieyu is afraid that she will be empty. She wants the two sisters to serve in the palace at the same time. She thinks the emperor can't see her caution."

Li xuse raised his hand and asked the palace lady to remove the medicine bowl. "Her sister is still in the palace?"

"Isn't it? The emperor sometimes goes there for snacks, which is made by sister Jieyu."

"Zhao Jieyu really can't arrange her sister in the palace, so she should let go immediately," Li shuse sighed leisurely. "They are sisters every day, and they are not afraid of the envy of other concubines."

"No relatives have lived in the palace for such a long time, and Zhao Jieyu has no rules," thin Xiang smiled. "The emperor has reduced the number of times to turn over her brand. It seems that there are other concubines blowing pillow breeze."

"So don't be arrogant because of your favor and don't have too many hearts," Li Chuo said with a smile. "Will the emperor come to chenghuan Hall tonight?"

"The emperor will come for dinner," thin Xiang frowned. "I'm afraid the emperor is unhappy that my mother is pregnant with a pair of princesses."

"It's better to have something than not," Li chuser didn't mind. "If the palace gives birth to a pair of princes, the emperor will be more happy because of his small expectation."

Thin incense said with a smile: "what my mother said is that when Princess Poyang goes, all the princesses left in the palace are those whose biological mothers are not high. Even if they are a pair of princesses, my mother's face is very proud."

Li xuse thought for a while and suddenly said, "three days later, we will have a banquet in chenghuan hall."

"Who does your mother want to invite?"

Li xuse smiled, "naturally, please bring the king and the prospective princess."
