Chapter 143

"If I went to see her, she thought I wouldn't let her go," the emperor touched the dust on his hand from the plaque. "Chu Lingyun really has the same temperament as her mother imperial concubine. She adds a bit of evil spirit to her mother imperial concubine."

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Huang SA is very sad. Since he misses the princess, don't let the princess go."

"The words have been spoken, and the envoys of the state of Qi can't go back empty handed," the emperor's eyes darkened. "Besides, I haven't made it clear about Prince Chen."

"But if the princess is indeed the emperor's child, don't you blame Mrs. Heyi and the princess?" the old eunuch said earnestly. "Emperor. I believe that Mrs. Heyi will not do such a dirty thing in the back palace."

The emperor was slightly stunned and immediately said, "there can be no doubt about the royal blood. I can't let Princess Poyang become a joke of the Qin Dynasty."

The old eunuch didn't dare to say anything more when he saw the emperor's face was blue.

"Forget it, it's too late at night. Go back to Jieyu palace." the emperor brushed his sleeve. "I won't come here after tomorrow."

Chu Lingyun slept soundly this night until Xiang He came in with hot water. Only then did she raise her upper body from the bed and lazily open her eyes.

"It's a fine day today." Xiang He poured some petals into the water. "Princess, get up and change your clothes."

Chu Lingyun looked at the light penetrating the window paper. He smiled and said, "what's the hurry? Our civet cat hasn't come yet."

"Miss Zhao should come soon." Xiang He handed her a towel. "The princess should hide later. She was found."

"Don't worry, I still have this ability."

Between the two. A little maidservant hurried in from the, panting and saying, "princess, the emperor is coming."

Chu Lingyun was stunned and flustered: "didn't the emperor rest in Jieyu Palace last night? What are you doing here?"

Xiang he winked at the little maid, told her to hurry down, and then whispered to Chu Lingyun, "the emperor should have come to send you."

Chu Lingyun frowned, bit his lips and said, "he didn't make a sound a few days ago. What are you doing here these days? Do some fake gestures."

Xiang he pulled her out of bed and hurriedly advised, "you'd better clean up quickly and go to see the emperor."

Chu Lingyun reluctantly changed her clothes and walked slowly to the palace. Sure enough, she saw the emperor sitting alone at the table, looking into the distance and wondering what she was thinking.

Chu Lingyun pouted, saluted and said, "my son, I'll see the emperor."

The emperor's thoughts were brought back and looked at her faintly, "how did you get up?"

"I... I was a little tired last night," Chu Lingyun scratched his head. "Why did my father come so early?"

"I don't know what happened today. I woke up very early and went to your palace. I didn't expect you were still lying in bed," the emperor coughed gently. "You haven't tried that wedding dress yet?"

"I'll go later," Chu Lingyun lowered his eyelids. "I've tried the wedding dress, and it's OK."

"Well," the emperor took back his eyes from her, "let your maid step down first. I have something to tell you."

Chu Lingyun feels strange. He raises his chin and asks Xiang He to go back to his room first.

"How did my father come to me when I was about to get married," Chu Lingyun said with a bitter smile. "I thought my father would never see me again."

"You are my princess after all. I can't ignore you."

Chu Lingyun looked at him deeply, smiled and said, "did the emperor go to the luanfeng Palace last night?"

The emperor's eyes were covered with frost, "how do you know?"

Chu Lingyun said with a smile, "my father will find me only after he meets something related to Mrs. Heyi."

"Did you see Zhao Qingyao yesterday?"

Chu Lingyun was stiff and admitted, "I went to see you. I want her to send me today."

"Send you?" the emperor raised a sneer. "I remember when your mother married, I invited a little cousin to enter the palace on her behalf. However, the people I sent found out and tied a sedan chair and brought it back."

Chu Lingyun opened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

"So I say you are more like your mother imperial concubine than Duan Wang," the emperor took the Buddha beads off his wrist, "Prince Chen Ran with her and was stopped by the bodyguard before he left the city. How far do you think you can run?"

Chu Lingyun held on to his expression and didn't let himself leak a trace, "what's the emperor talking about? I didn't think about running away."

"You know it in your heart, but don't expect Zhao Qingyao to come. I let her go home last night," the emperor smiled. "Do you know who Zhao Jieyu's mother, Mrs. Zhao, is, the little cousin who failed to enter the palace with Mrs. Heyi in that time."

Chu Lingyun was so soft that she almost knelt down. She bit her lips and asked in a dumb voice, "why did the emperor do this..."

"I said I wouldn't allow people who humiliate the royal face to stay in Daqin. Why don't you listen to me," the emperor tapped the Buddha bead on the table, "why don't you listen to me."

"How could I listen to you!" Chu Lingyun stared at him with gnashing teeth. "How could I marry someone I don't love." she looked at his calm face and added, "I don't want to be like my mother..."

The largest bead on the Buddha bead was violently smashed on the table and broken into two parts. The emperor threw the Buddha bead at random, stood up and slowly approached her, with a storm brewing on his face, "you said very well."

Chu Lingyun's body was shrouded in his tall figure. She subconsciously wanted to avoid, but she couldn't take a step.

"Your mother imperial concubine is the first imperial concubine I married into the palace, the first woman I fell in love with in this life, and the last," said the emperor with a sad smile on his lips. "Do you know that I was almost stabbed to death by her sharp sword on my wedding night? When I kissed her, half of my face was scratched by her nails, and there was blood and flesh in the seams of my nails."

Chu Lingyun looked pale and spit out three words, "you deserve it."

"You're right," agreed the emperor with a relaxed nod. "If I hadn't forcibly taken her away from Prince Chen, maybe there wouldn't be so many bad things."

"Yes, why did you rob someone else's wife," Chu Lingyun whispered. "She could have lived happily with Prince Chen. It was you who destroyed her hope."

"But if I can't even get the woman I like, what else should I do?" the emperor raised his eyebrow.

Chu Lingyun couldn't smile. "You actually want to get the country for her?"

"Otherwise you think," the emperor whispered with a smile, "I will try my best to seize the throne just to take her from Prince Chen."

"You're really..." Chu Lingyun looked at his lips with a nearly crazy smile, and suddenly didn't know what to say. "You're ruining other people's happiness to make yourself better."

Emperor Shangrao looked at her with interest, "then you let Zhao Qingyao marry instead of you, didn't you destroy her happiness to fulfill yourself?"

Chu Lingyun was stunned and bit her lower lip.

The emperor raised her chin with his fingers. "I look at your selfishness, but I doubt the Queen's words. You like to plot against others. It's a bit like I used to be. Maybe the queen is really provoking discord."

Chu Lingyun calmed down for a while and said softly, "then let me go."

"The arrow is on the line and has to be sent. You'd better marry to the state of Qi," the emperor pointed to the string of beads on the table, "it should be given to you by me. Take it to the state of Qi to ensure peace."

Chu Lingyun flashed a trace of evil at the bottom of his eyes, "the chaotic burial post in the harem of the state of Qi will die in less than a month. What's safe?"

"That's not necessarily. I'm still a little worried when other princesses go. You're different," the emperor looked at her meaningfully. "The national strength of Qi is different year by year. I'm still waiting for you in Daqin."

"Pendant, have you packed all your clothes?"

Chui'er sorted the boxes in the yard again and said to Xue ronghua, "they're all packed."

"Why do you pack so many clothes?" Chu Zongge glanced at the box. "Didn't the state of Qi buy clothes?"

"I'm afraid the state of Qi doesn't like clothes. After all, the dressing styles of the two places are different," Xue ronghua touched his waist. "I also take the piece of liluan pendant given by the emperor."

Chu Zongge looked at the transparent jade pendant and said with a smile, "how can you remember this jade pendant? I've forgotten it."

"Of course I remember. It's given by the emperor. It's natural to wear it on the day of parting," Xue ronghua tidied his sleeves. "Princess Poyang doesn't need a personal notice. I don't know how her civet cat is prepared."

"Don't worry, she will take care of herself. We just have to follow the sedan chair quietly," Chu Zongge looked around in the Xinyang hall. "I don't know when we can come back."

"Before you start, you miss your hometown," Xue ronghua smiled. "If you go halfway between Qi and Qin, don't ride back."

"I dare not," Chu Zongge pinched her face. "I have to accompany my little princess to the state of Qi to do big things."

Xue ronghua dodged his hand and said angrily, "who is your little princess? Although we have an engagement, I don't know if you will meet other beauties in the state of Qi."

"You are the only one in my eyes," Chu Zongge said with a smile, "don't wrong me."

"You should do what you say," Xue ronghua winked at him. "There are more beauties in Qi than in Qin."

"The most beautiful thing I met in Qin is you. Is there anything better than you in Qi?"

"Where is the most beautiful thing in Qi?" Xue ronghua glanced. "I looked around the palace and counted the most beautiful princess Poyang. You can imagine the appearance of Mrs. Heyi. You have inherited some good things."

"It's really a pity not to see Mrs. Heyi's face in this life," Chu Zongge shook his head, "but there's a princess around to relieve your boredom."

"You're worried about the princess, but I'm worried about Miss Zhao," Xue ronghua sighed. "I don't know what kind of storm will happen when Miss Zhao arrives in the state of Qi."

"I also have this idea. I didn't cheat Xiang He in, but I implicated an innocent person," Chu Zongge said. "But Zhao Qingyao's purpose is to stay in the palace and be the emperor's concubine. Her family background is a little Jieyu at most. If the state of Qi, she might be able to seal a four imperial concubine or something."
