"There are a total of four princesses whose mothers are lowly and do not please the Emperor," the eunuch bowed as he presented a piece of paper with a name written on it to Empress Chen. "Your Majesty's meaning is that the Empress shall make the decision."

"Yes." The Empress Chen casually replied as his indifferent eyes swept across the paper. The fate of these princesses were firmly grasped in her hands, she slightly straightened her back, holding onto life and death with great authority.

"Esteemed Empress, which princess do you think should be sent to get married?"

Empress Chen closed his eyes and a sly smile appeared on his lips as he pointed to a name, "Let her be."

The eunuch glanced at it, "This is Picking Girl Zhu's princess, she has yet to receive her title."

"I told all of you in charge to come up with an auspicious title. Finish it quickly."

Just as the eunuch was about to order her daughter to leave, a sweet voice drifted into the hall, "mother, why don't you let your daughter go."

Empress Chen opened his eyes wide, when he saw who it was, he was so happy that he almost fell off his bed, "Lingyun?"

A woman walked quickly into the hall in the bright sunlight outside. She was wearing a blue silk brocade gown with a crown of jade pearls, and a pair of jade willow leaf earrings hung from her pearly white earlobes. She was dressed like a noble lady, but she exuded the noble aura of a prince.

The eunuch hurriedly greeted: "This servant greets Princess Poyang."

"Get up," Chu Lingyun said as she raised her hand, and cuddled into Empress Chen's embrace with a smile. "mother, your daughter misses you."

"mother misses you more." The daughter that he hadn't seen for so many years was right in front of his eyes, and Empress Chen's eyes became moist, as though he was about to cry.

"Your daughter has only been gone for three years," Chu Lingyun smiled sweetly, and rubbed her face with her hands like a spoiled child.

"If I knew that you would suffer so much, I wouldn't have let you go to Chiron, that barbarian place."

Chu Lingyun did not mind as she curled her lips, "Daughter only has some suffering in terms of diet, I am still able to move freely in other areas."

Empress Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. "Other places?"

"That's right," Chu Lingyun smiled lightly. "Daughter is quite good at picking people."

"Pick a student?" Empress Chen was startled, then saw a tall figure wearing a ferocious mask following behind her. From the looks of it, the skeleton was a woman.

"This is a good helper that my daughter found in Chiron," Chu Lingyun said as she jumped to the side of the unfamiliar woman.

The Empress Chen frowned and looked at the woman suspiciously, "You brought it from the Chiron, and you're even wearing a mask here."

"She's an extraordinary person," Chu Lingyun clapped her hands and laughed, "He will definitely be able to brighten mother's eyes."

"There's no need for it once it lights up," the Empress Chen waved his hand lightly. "Don't come up with an ugly ghost, just make me blind."

The woman took off her mask, revealing a pair of extremely cold eyes. "This servant Xianghe greets the Empress."

This appearance … Empress Chen's body froze, as though he had been doused in a bucket of ice water. Wasn't this Liu Chengyun?

A cunning look flashed across Chu Lingyun's eyes, "mother, does she look like the Mrs. Heyi from back then?"

Empress Chen suddenly stood up and quickly walked towards Xianghe, carefully sizing him up. Although Liu Chengyun's appearance was not bad, her eyes were too cold, not as gentle as Liu Chengyun's.

"Where did you find this?" Empress Chen looked suspiciously at his daughter who had a happy expression. "Why did you bring her to the Great Qin Nation?"

"mother guessed that his daughter went through all the trouble to bring the Mrs. Heyi like Xianghe to the Qin Nation, what for?"

Empress Chen looked at Xianghe hesitantly. "You aren't giving her to the Emperor, are you?"

"Looks like daughter and mother really share the same mind," Chu Lingyun said with a smile. "Daughter precisely wants to offer Xianghe up to Royal Father."

Empress Chen immediately shook his head, "How can that be? There is a pregnant Consort Hua in the palace, and a Consort Fu with Great Qi. How can I resist a woman who looks exactly like Liu Chengyun."

"It's precisely because we're surrounded by enemies, that's why we need capable people," Chu Lingyun was slightly surprised, "What's going on with Noble Consort Kang and Prince Jin?"

"They are really too much of an eyesore," Empress Chen sighed sinisterly. "I killed them."

Chu Lingyun was silent for a moment, then agreed: "mother did the right thing. Noble Consort Kang and Prince Jin are really an eyesore, we must get rid of them as soon as possible."

"That's why I don't need to worry about them. It's just that Prince Duan and his consort really give me a headache, I really don't know who helped them, and their actions were smooth sailing and they basically did not encounter any problems."

Seeing mother's headache, Chu Lingyun immediately comforted him: "mother, you don't have to worry, how can there be a smooth sailing person;

Empress Chen scratched her nose and laughed: "Luckily you came back from the Chiron, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to deal with you."

"Don't worry mother," Chu Lingyun's eyes shone with an unfathomable light, "Your daughter will definitely let Prince Duan know how powerful we are."

The Crown Prince raised his head from Ming Zhu's chest and licked his lips, still wanting to continue.

Ming Zhu weakly laid on the bed, supporting her head with her hands as she looked at him lazily. "Crown Prince, the empress's men have been waiting outside the door for a long time."

"Let them wait," the Crown Prince casually smiled, reached out to pinch her cheek, "Spring is short, so what if they wait?"

Ming Zhu dodged lightly, avoiding the crown prince's hand that was reaching for her waist. "It's fine for them servants to wait, but for the empress to be anxious, it's not good."

"mother dotes on me the most," the Crown Prince said, unsatisfied with her beauty. He grabbed the ribbon on her waist and said, "She won't mind that I'm late."

"Crown Prince," Ming Zhu coquettishly pushed him. "If the empress finds out that the crown prince was late because of me, she'll blame me."

The crown prince dryly pulled at her belt. "Blame what?"

Ming Zhu smiled seductively as she moved close to his ear, smiling, "Blame this servant for being a temptress."

The Crown Prince laughed before cupping her face in his hands and giving her a warm kiss. "This accusation makes sense. Let her be the one to blame."

Ming Zhu took the belt from his hand and said with grievance, "Crown Prince, you really do not care about my life."

The Crown Prince looked at her in confusion, then snatched the belt back. "What's wrong? Look at you, you're so pitiful."

Pearl's teary eyes swept over him. "The crown prince has stayed here for too long. The empress will say that I seduced the crown prince and prevented him from carrying out his plans."

"What do you mean 'proper business'?" The Crown Prince asked as he took the pear-stained pearl into his arms. "You are the real business of me."

Mingzhu was about to refuse, but she still pushed him a few times before struggling in his embrace. "Crown Prince, don't cancel this servant's name. It's better if you follow the empress's men."

"Sigh," the Crown Prince sighed, "I don't know why, but the moment I stayed by your side, I didn't want to leave you. Even if I couldn't see you, I would still dream of you."

Ming Zhu shyly looked at him, a row of neat row of white teeth lightly nibbling on her lips. The Crown Prince was once again moved, leaning over to kiss her.

"What does the Crown Prince think of me?"

The Crown Prince kept kissing her smooth white arms that were like lotus roots as he mumbled, "You're my baby."

"Baby?" Ming Zhu was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "There are so many treasures in the crown prince's palace, which one could I be counted as?"

"You are not a treasure of my palace," the Crown Prince said affectionately as he held her hand to his chest. "You are a treasure of my heart."

Ming Zhu's gaze turned soft as she laid under him like a peach blossom in the spring.

"Crown Prince, you must take me seriously."

The Crown Prince smiled, "Don't worry, I won't forget about you."

The crown prince had just walked into the Changchun Palace when he heard the sounds of laughter from inside. His heart moved, he immediately understood that it was Little Yun who had returned.

Chu Lingyun bowed and said, "Your servant sister greets Your Highness."

The Crown Prince scratched his head embarrassedly, "Little Yun, I just became the Crown Prince, there's no need to bow to me anymore."

"How can that be," Chu Lingyun said with a smile in her eyes, "Royal Brother will be the new emperor in the future, how can I not bow when I see the future new emperor?"

Empress Chen looked at the siblings and smiled lovingly at the corner of his eyes. Ling Yun had been gone for three years and now she was back, the three of them could finally have a good meal together.

The crown prince and his sister chatted and laughed for a while before unintentionally glancing at the Xianghe who was standing still on her feet. She couldn't help but be shocked, "Who is this, why does she look so similar to mother and Little Yun?"

Empress Chen's eyes froze for a moment, and then immediately dimmed down. Chu Lingyun immediately laughed: "This is the person I brought back from the Chiron."

"Chiron?" The crown prince circled around Xianghe who looked like a wooden person, "This Chiron person looks like you, only her eyes are different, why is she so motionless like a tree?"

Chu Lingyun ordered, "Xianghe, this is His Highness, the crown prince."

Xianghe trembled, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your servant Xianghe greets Your Highness, Crown Prince."

"Well," the Crown Prince said, rubbing his hands in curiosity, "she can talk."

"She will only speak if I give her the order."

"I don't believe it," the crown prince insisted on trying, "Xianghe, come here."

Xianghe stood firmly in place, as if she did not hear the crown prince's orders. The Crown Prince called out to her again, but she didn't come over, not even blinking.

The Crown Prince was finally defeated, he helplessly looked at his sister, who smiled proudly and said softly: "Xianghe, come here."

Xianghe was like a puppet being pulled, as she walked over step by step.

The Crown Prince exclaimed, "You told her to kill someone, do you think she would dare?"

Empress Chen couldn't help but retort after hearing: "This is Changchun Palace, if you want to kill someone, go outside the palace."

"As long as I give her the order, she can do anything," Chu Lingyun said as she turned to Xianghe, "Xianghe, go smash a wall."

Xianghe crashed into the wall in a daze. Bang! A flower of blood appeared on the snow-white wall, the blood trickling down from the wound on her forehead.

The crown prince was filled with admiration, "The thing you brought back from the Chiron is really too powerful."

"This is my biggest gain from Chiron."

"Sigh," the Crown Prince winked at her, "Have you met your sweetheart at Chiron?"

Chu Lingyun said with a smile: "I am capable of going to the Chiron, I am not looking for a prince consort."
