Qing Ling smiled. "If Empress really wants to help Gu Yunxi, she won't drug the Emperor. Because angering my royal father this time will affect me the most. If I lose my position as Crown Prince, what's the use of Miss Gu marrying me? For the Gu Clan, they have their eyes on my position as crown prince! "
"Then what does the empress mean by doing this?"
"She must have already made an agreement with her royal brother, that's why she's doing this."
I'm stunned... Last feather?
Qing Ling's gaze turned deep: "Joyous Union Powder …" It was given to Gu Yunxi by Muyu! "
A roar went off in my head.
Remembering that last feather also came to the royal garden yesterday... Thinking of that pair of gentle peach blossom eyes, my heart was a thousand times unwilling to believe!
I hurriedly retorted, "How, how is that possible? Why did Mo Yu do that?! "
Green Feathers Black Obsidian's eyes looked at me quietly, but he remained silent and didn't say anything.
I suddenly felt guilty, "Even if Mu Yu wanted to seize the throne, didn't Miss Gu still wholeheartedly love you? Didn't she want to marry you to become the crown prince's consort? How could she be so clever as to miss the consequences of this? If she likes you, why did she have to follow the plans of the Empress and Niu Yu? "
Qing Ling smiled bitterly. "Gu Yunxi should not know their entire plan. She thought that as long as she drugged you and Imperial Father doted on you, she would be able to marry me. However, she never thought that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind …" The empress has already given up on me and chose her royal brother! And yesterday, it was Mu Yu who informed me to go to the royal garden! "
"Huh?"
Qing Ling nodded. "Originally, I should have returned to the Heavy Flower Palace after paying my respects to the empress dowager yesterday. However, I met Qi Yu along the way …" He said you were in the Imperial Garden, and so was my father. "At that time, I didn't think too much and rushed over. I didn't expect that I would run into that scene …"
I was speechless. "He, he …"
Qingling sighed as she looked at me. "Ah Wu, you know Mi Yu, don't you? You should know that he has coveted the throne for a long time, right? He plotted so much just to make me lose royal father's doting. However, he did it now, because royal father never doted on me much in the first place … "
At this point, Qing Ling looked up at the sky and bitterly smiled.
My head was buzzing, and my heart was in a whirl!
That's right, Chu Yu did indeed have great ambitions. I already vaguely knew about this when I was helping the victims with Guan Bei; however, he also mentioned it to me later on … He said that the imperial power was decaying and he no longer cared about this world. Thus, he only wanted to use the power of the Thunder God School to help the common people … It was just that he did not expect that he had long changed his mind.
Am I too naive? It's not that the enemy is too cunning, but that I'm too stupid to actually believe his words! Furthermore, the aphrodisiac was given to Gu Yunxi by the last feather? Then yesterday's matter was all planned by him? Then, when I was violated by the Emperor, he clearly knew what was going on inside the house? But he didn't come to save me, he just left!
If all of this is true, all of it is true...
At some point my fingers had dug into the glazed roof tiles! With a sudden "boom", a corner of the roof of the Heavy Flower Hall suddenly collapsed!
When the people of Eastern Palace heard the loud noise, they became even more flustered. No one actually dared to come and check on what had happened.
Silently, I clenched my fists and told myself not to think about it anymore. Otherwise, I really can't guarantee that I'll do anything...
"Hong'er! Hong'er!" Qingling suddenly grabbed my hand. His hand was gentle and strong. A pure and gentle heat transmitted over and quickly reached my limbs and bones. My breathing became steady and my mind became clear.
However, my emotions were still mixed. I dejectedly said, "Qingling, it was me who harmed you!"
Qing Ling lightly patted the back of my hand. "It's none of your business." Initially, you were not suited for this palace, but now, it looks like I am not. "
His gaze slowly swept across the magnificent palace. At this time, the sun was setting in the west. Multicolored clouds covered the sky, and the majestic palaces, towering temples, and tall coiling dragon pillars all had an unusual beauty under the sunset.
Qing Ling's gaze was complicated as he said with a hint of disappointment, "Actually, I grew up in Mount Changqing since I was young. I don't have many feelings for this palace. Although he had always known that he was a prince, he didn't have many memories regarding the royal palace. In this place, other than my sister Yao Hua, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find anything else that is worth nostalgic for. "
I felt sad. "Qing Ling could have become an enlightened monarch …"
Qing Ling smiled and rubbed my head, "Heh, back then when royal father sent an edict to recall me from the Evergreen Sect and bestowed me the title of crown prince, I had indeed thought of it that way. Since royal father has already found a better candidate, and royal brother is indeed a person who allows martial arts, then I can go back to the Evergreen Sect without worrying. "Actually, the life of an immortal is my favorite life …"
At this point, he tilted his head and looked at me tenderly. "Ah Wu, why don't you come with me?"
I wiped my eyes and nodded. "You're not even in the palace anymore. What am I doing here?"
Qing Ling laughed: "Alright! Let's go tonight! "
"Tonight? Isn't it seven days later? "
Qing Ling shook his head. "Although royal father ordered me to leave the palace within seven days, I have already angered him. It would be better for me to leave as soon as possible. We'll leave immediately. You should go and pack your luggage now! "
I was stunned... Leave now?
Qing Ling looked at me with a profound gaze. "If there's anyone else you want to say goodbye to at the palace, you can go now. My royal sister doesn't need to go. Remember to come back in the evening on time. I will get Xiao Lian to help you pack your luggage. "
I didn't dare meet his eyes, but I lowered my head and gave a little grunt of acknowledgment.
Qing Ling then said in a low voice, "If you are going, please help me congratulate him."
I nodded again.
Finally, Chu Yu met me in the Phoenix Forest of Pills Phoenix Palace.
The Phoenix Flowers were still blooming like a raging fire. The water in the spring was cold and transparent, while the red and blue colors reflected each other. It was so beautiful that there was not even a hint of fireworks. However, it was already late autumn, so why were the flowers still blooming? But there didn't seem to be any season in the Palace of the Phoenix. I suddenly remembered that the Phoenix Flower should have been born in the warm Southern Kingdom, and the capital city is located to the north, so there shouldn't be such a flower surviving.
He followed the court lady who was leading the way, and at the end, dressed in red, he sat down on the edge of the spring. In front of him, there was an exquisite short table with tea cooking on it. White mist was rising from it. That kind of enchanting red and phoenix flower blended together, beautiful to the point of being shocking, my eyes were slightly stung.
When I walked over, Luo Yuan asked me to sit down. I didn't sit down, instead, I asked him, "Did you put in the medicine in the tea yesterday?"
Last feather hand paused, and said lightly: "Oh? You already know about it? "
"So it really was you who did it?"
"It's all as you know."
Even though I was mentally prepared for it, I suddenly received the expected reply. I found it hard to accept! On the way here, I had wondered what he would say if I saw him, and whether he would try to justify himself, or deceive me, or something like that; but it had never occurred to me that he would not try to justify himself, or that he would not even bother to defend himself.
I have to say, I was hit hard at the moment, but the one who started it was a bland one.
My heart is pounding, as if something is breaking up, but also as if something is about to surge out!
But I held back.
I asked him, "Why did you do that? Is it because of the throne? But didn't you say that you no longer care about this rotten world? Why do you have to be in cahoots with the empress! "
"White, this has nothing to do with you."
"You …"
His face was so calm that I couldn't speak. He looked just like when we first met … When he stole my master's Soul Lamp, his expression was extremely calm, as if the Soul Lamp originally belonged to him.
