Chu Lingyun stood in front of the copper mirror in an ochre yellow apricot collar with an apricot bottom print dress and a green lotus pleated skirt, looking at her with an appreciative gaze.

Xianghe quietly walked behind her, and bowed to her respectfully. "Princess, quasi wangfei has entered the palace."

Chu Lingyun inserted an Ouroboros Clan golden sparrow hairpin into her bun, turned around and smiled sweetly: "As expected, it's as I expected, they've already sensed that something bad has happened to Zhu Tong."

"Princess, do you think they can guess Zhu Tong's identity?"

Chu Lingyun muttered to herself for a moment, and said: "I should only be able to deduce that Zhu Tong was sent by the Chiron Imperial Family, and not me."

Xianghe revealed an expression of admiration: "Princess is so powerful, there are really three birds with one stone."

Chu Lingyun laughed until the pearl on the side of her face started trembling, "Remove Zhu Tong who wants to give her all for Consort You, show her and the emperor my sincerity, and at the same time finish Zhu Tong off at the right time in case she discovers your existence ahead of time, and also prevent her from finding out more about it as she increases her position in the Prince Duan. I can also cause some trouble for the Prince Duan and distract his attention.

Xianghe was completely captivated by her clever master, "This servant has never seen anyone as clever and beautiful as the princess in Chiron before.

"Consort You is nothing, just a concubine bound by the imperial family," Chu Lingyun said as she slightly narrowed her eyes, "I also like the emperor, but I never asked the Royal Father to marry me to her concubine in Chiron, because I don't want to be a concubine that belongs solely to him. I want him to willingly lie at my feet and become someone that belongs to me."

Xianghe smiled: "This servant has fulfilled Princess Zhu's wish."

Chu Lingyun cast her a sideways glance, "You sure are open-minded, but you're not afraid that the Consort You will exterminate your entire clan for treason if they find out."

"Big Sister Bi You is my only family, where did you get all these people from?" Xianghe covered her mouth and snickered, "This servant believes that the princess will protect this servant."

Chu Lingyun played with the pearl by the side of her face, and said indifferently: "You are the person closest to me in this world, so of course I will guarantee your safety."

Xianghe was moved by her words, "How could this servant be able to become the closest person to the princess?"

Although the Royal Father is always by my side and seems to love me the most, but in reality, he is only treating me as a beautiful and docile doll, "Chu Lingyun's mouth revealed a hint of a lonely smile," To be able to read and ride an arrow just like that is something the Royal Brother would do. All I need to do is act obediently and act like a little princess.

Xianghe rolled her eyes and comforted her, "It's not like there haven't been female princes in this world. If you really want to break through this kind of barrier, why not give it a try?"

Chu Lingyun was startled, but still smiled faintly, "Forget it, if the Royal Father and the mother knew that I had that thought, they would definitely be anxious to death. I will do what the Grand Princess should do, helping my only brother to ascend to the throne."

"But," Xianghe said hesitantly, "I don't think the crown prince is suitable."

"If he was suitable, Prince Duan and Prince Jin would not be so rampant," Chu Lingyun smiled, and ssher tone revealed a hint of disdain, "The crown prince was obsessed with making sounds out of bamboo, and since he was young, he has never paid attention to his work. Everyone in the palace knows that he became the crown prince for the sake of the mother, so he pretended to be modest and not mention it."

Xianghe said: "Princess, are you really going to help the crown prince wholeheartedly?"

"Or what?" Chu Lingyun laughed helplessly: "If only my Royal Brother was Prince Duan, but unfortunately, I ended up with a crown prince, then what can I do, I can only use my intelligence to make up for it."

Empress Chen sat on the beauty bed with a gloomy face. Below him, the crown prince's head was lowered in silence.

"What's the name of the dancer?" The Empress Chen spoke faintly.

The crown prince shuddered and whispered, "Call me Ming Zhu."

A disdainful smile suddenly appeared on the Empress Chen's stiff face, "Yu Zhu's Ming Zhu, these Spring Dancing dancers, they really have a messy relationship with our crown prince."

The Crown Prince blushed and said carefully, "I will never do this again."

The Empress Chen glanced at his stomach, which was tightly bandaged, and looked a little annoyed, "A demoness with such a lowly status like the dancers, I wonder what kind of sinister evil intentions are hidden under this beautiful skin. The next time you fall into the hands of the dancers, I'll be the one to send you to hell."

The Crown Prince quickly kneeled on the ground, "Your son dares not. Your son swears to the heavens that if you know how to dance, your son will …"

"Alright, alright, stop sending these kinds of things that are specifically used to fool people," Empress Chen waved his hands in disgust. "Get up, you are also the ruler of a country, don't kneel down so easily."

The Crown Prince stood up, trembling, and went back to his seat.

"What should we do with that dancer named Ming Zhu?"

The Crown Prince was hesitant, "Your son is going to beat you to death."

Empress Chen glanced at him indifferently, "You really are an infatuated seed. After accompanying you for a few months, your heart has softened to such an extent, you weren't on guard at all. You almost got your hands on a woman. You're too disgraceful to the imperial family."

The crown prince resentfully lowered his head, "mother, what do you mean?"

The Empress Chen remained silent. Suddenly, a eunuch came in from outside and reported to her, "Empress, that dancer who tried to assassinate the Crown Prince is already a month pregnant."

A look of surprise flashed across the Crown Prince's eyes, "I actually have a child."

Empress Chen opened his eyes wide, and shouted angrily, "Shut up, don't embarrass me again."

The Crown Prince was surprised for a moment, then said in confusion, "mother, that's my child. We'll have to wait until the child is born."

"That is the child of a sinner who dares to assassinate the Crown Prince. That child is also a dancer whose birth is low to the point that she doesn't even have a proper title. That child isn't yours." There was no emotion in Empress Chen's cold eyes.

"mother, you can't …"

"I am the Palace Head, and my authority in handling this matter far exceeds a crown prince like you," Empress Chen arrogantly raised his head, and said to the eunuch who had passed on the message: "First, go and send a bowl of concocting medicine, and beat that vile creature down. Then, press her into the pool of water, causing her to bleed from her seven orifices and die."

The eunuch was ordered to leave.

The Crown Prince looked at mother, who was sitting upright and upright, in disbelief. "That is my child …"

"I've already said that I'm not your child. Do you still have feelings for a slut that almost killed you?" Empress Chen clenched his teeth, "Didn't she curse you to die in the East Palace with your seven orifices?

The crown prince had seen how the mother had killed too many people and still couldn't believe that she would actually do such a vicious thing to his own child. "Even if Ming Zhu is at fault, she shouldn't harm her child."

"Where did you learn to be compassionate?" The Empress Chen frowned. "If the emperor knew that you and the dancers were pregnant, he would definitely fly into a rage and let you marry the dancers as a concubine. I definitely cannot let her become a stain on your body that you can't get rid of."

The Crown Prince lowered his head in despair, "mother, this matter is really hard to accept …"

Empress Chen was really disappointed, "Talking to you is like talking to a chicken. If your sister was here, you would be able to understand the pros and cons of it instantly.

The crown prince could no longer hold it in and raised his head, "Royal Father has said that he wants to make his little sister his Crown Prince, and mother also thinks that his little sister is smarter. Then why not make his little sister his Crown Prince?

Empress Chen almost threw the tea in his hands towards him, he was so angry that his entire body was trembling, "I'll give you a quick death, why didn't you say that your mediocrity and incompetence gave me and Ling Yun a lot of unhappiness? You were born from my stomach as well, why did you grow up to be a good-for-nothing who sleeps in alcohol everyday?"

The Crown Prince's eyes were bloodshot and his lips moved slightly, but blood spurted out of his mouth and fell straight to the ground.

Empress Chen was so scared that he immediately sat up, went up to support her, and pulled out a handkerchief to cover his mouth.

"Someone, call the imperial physician! The crown prince is vomiting blood!"

The autumn breeze made Chu Lingyun's clothes flutter like a profound woman from the ninth heaven. The willow trees all over the palace had dried up, and all that was left was a desolate and desolate autumn scene.

The last time he came to Luan Feng Palace, was when he was twelve years old. That day, mother suddenly brought her to the farthest place from Royal Father's Bedchamber and told her everything about Mrs. Heyi.

She was in a daze after listening to mother's endless talking. Looking at the hot tears flowing in mother's eyes, she instantly grew up on a twelve year old day.

So it turned out that the mother was not the Royal Father's most beloved woman, but the Mrs. Heyi. This woman named Liu Chengyun was born in a military family and was the daughter of the Liu’sArmy Commander. When she first met the Royal Father, she made him immerse himself in love with her for the rest of his life, and walk towards the point where she couldn't recover from the calamity even if she turned against her own brothers.

With that single glance, Liu Chengyun became the figure that was doted on by three thousand people, and all of the makeup was concealed by her. Until one day, when all of her Liu’sArmy were annihilated on the battlefield. The indignant and sorrowful Liu Chengyun managed to help everyone because she ignored the small family and broke off all ties with the Royal Father.

The Royal Father who had lost Liu Chengyun met a mother who was extremely similar to her. From then on, the mother had replaced Liu Chengyun as her most dazzling concubine in the imperial harem. Royal Father, who was completely disappointed in Liu Chengyun, had no choice but to erect a Luan Feng Palace at a place furthest from the Bedchamber in order to protect her. Even after losing her grace, she was still able to avoid the ruckus in the harem.

mother, who was immersed in the Royal Father's warm embrace, thought she was the emperor's most beloved woman. It was only when she coincidentally met Liu Chengyun in the palace and understood everything that she realized she was only a substitute for a lover who had broken up. This substitute had persisted for more than twenty years and during that time, she had become the queen of the world.

But the worst thing that could happen after a long time was that the original person had come back. When mother first heard that Royal Father had stayed in the Luan Feng Palace for the first time ever, he was slightly touched. But when he heard the second and third time, his heart was endlessly desolate. Having gone through hell and gone through hell, no matter how perfect the double could not replace the unbreakable existence Liu Chengyun had in the heart of the Royal Father, let alone Wu Shan who was not Yun.
