Chapter 351

In fact, it was the crescent spring water inside. In case of causing people’s suspicion, he could only make it up, and he believed that that would do great help to his body.

Till now, Ling Jingxuan had provided all he could, only to keep him safe.

“Hmm, imperial aunt-in-law, I will try my best. And you can also bring my younger brothers back to the capital as soon as possible. I’m afraid I’ll miss them too much. They are naughty, and please don’t blame them for that. If they can’t form a strong personality, they couldn’t adapt themselves in a place like the palace. Imperial aunt-in-law, I already missed you now.”

Speaking of which, Yan Xiaoming couldn’t help having tears in his eyes already. He really couldn’t afford to leave them, only having spent two month’s happy time with them, now he got to leave again.

However premature he was, he was only nine years old. Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help opening his arms and holding him tightly. He patted on his shoulder and comforted him in whispers, “Don’t worry. At this time next year the latest, I promise you’ll see us. And we may live in the capital for some time, until…”

I help you seize the throne! But Ling Jingxuan didn’t say it out. But his glistening eyes already explained everything. Shengrui had not heart for the throne, while he was also not interested in the position of the empress. Plus, they both loved Yan’er so much, of course he’d assist him seize the throne, for him, and also for his own kids’ future.

“Hmm, I’ll be waiting for you there, sorry, aunt-in-law, I…”

Shyly shrinking his body, Yan Shengrui who finally calmed himself down felt a bit embarrassed. He was a big kid now and still shed tears before him, if his younger brothers knew this, they’d definitely laugh at him!

“Don’t call me that, just call me Uncle Ling. That makes me feel closer. Yan’er, after going back, you must be extremely careful.”

Stretching out a hand to smoothen his fuzzy hair, Ling Jingxuan nagged again. In his heart, he had already taken him as his other kid.

“Hmm, Uncle Ling, I know.”

Yan Xiaoming prudently nodded, he not only wanted him to stay alive, but also wished that he could grasp enough power to protect them after they went to the capital.

“All right. I got some words to say to your father. You go play with your younger brothers. Spend more time with them before you go.”

Although he had prepared many things for him, some things were just not suitable for him to know.

“Hmm, Uncle Ling, father, I’ll go out first.”

Yan Xiaoming was sensible, after making a bow to them respectively, he left with those things in his arms. After watching him disappear before his eyes, Ling Jingxuan brought Chu Yunhan to his table, gestured him to sit, then he walked to the other side and sat down, “before I start, I want to make sure if you plan to seize the position as the empress or keep being grounded.”

With that pair of sharp long and thin phoenix eyes fixing on his pretty face, if he still thought of avoiding to face it, there was no need to help him. Even he himself didn’t care about it, why should he help him? He would never do such stupid things.

“Seize the position!”

Looking into his eyes for quite a while, Chu Yunhan closed his eyes and said out those three words. Never expected that after all this, he still went on the way of seizing the title as the empress!

Judging from that delicate face, you could never tell he was already in his thirties. But the pains flashing across that face still couldn’t escape from his eyes. Ling Jingxuan slightly frowned. What is he afraid of? Losing the position as the empress, his family being suppressed, and his younger sister’s death, those things shouldn’t be what he was afraid of. Then what’s there to be afraid of?

“You feel strange, don’t you? I am the only legitimate son of Chu family, but had to marry into the imperial family. Actually it was Emperor Gaozu who appointed this marriage. Chu family is a meritorious family. My grandfather has ever ridden on the horseback to seize political power with Emperor Gaozu. After the foundation of the kingdom, Chu family was conferred on as Zhenguo Duke. And Emperor Gaozu personally rewarded Chu family a death exemption gold token. At that time, a lot of people who had ever helped Emperor Gaozu claim the throne all got conferred with a title and the token. So no one was special, and everyone was trying his best to help running the kingdom. But that also brought endless trouble for the subsequent emperors. When the late emperor’s father succeeded the throne, all those meritorious families had already rotten from inside. But with the death exemption gold token in hand, the ruling emperor also dare not touch any of them. It had taken the late emperor whole ten years to finally decide to choose Chu family and let them agree to get their power cut and turn in their death exemption gold token. And since then, a lot of meritorious nobilities had lost their title, and the death exemption tokens all got confiscated. But not long after that, the late emperor’s father passed away, and then the late emperor succeeded the throne. And at that time, let alone a legitimate daughter, there was even no daughter of a concubine. When the late emperor nominated the crown prince, my father only had me as his legitimate son. Having no choice, my father could only take out the late emperor’s decree and asked the late emperor to confer me as the crown princess and chose an auspicious day to marry me to the crown prince Yan Shengzhi. And at that time, I was only twelve years old.”

Lowering his eyes, Chu Yunhan said so with no emotion fluctuation, like he was not telling things about himself, but someone else’s, at least Ling Jingxuan didn’t tell a little bit sentiment from them, and his sword-shape eyebrows were frowning tighter. Having become the crown princess at the age of twelve? Before that, he should have never thought of that!
