He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

After a lunch with various thoughts, Mo Wansheng felt uncomfortable all over, but Chu Nanchen was not ready to let him go.

"Ayu, you and I have not been together for a long time, so don't rush back. Stay and play a few games with me. The plum blossoms in the imperial garden are in full bloom, so the queen can take the princess with her. Go over and take a look.”

Lu Tingyu frowned and subconsciously wanted to refuse. Mo Wansheng was already very uncomfortable with a lunch. He didn't want Mo Wansheng to bear any more. However, before Lu Tingyu could say anything, Jiang Lingyi had already laughed. He agreed, "Your Majesty is considering that I will take the Crown Princess out for a walk so that she can become familiar with the situation in the palace."

Hearing Jiang Lingyi's words, Lu Tingyu's frown deepened, "Your Majesty, I..."

However, just as Lu Tingyu opened his mouth, he felt that the hand beside him was being grasped by someone, followed by Mo Wansheng's gentle and clear voice, "Shengsheng had heard that the imperial garden in the palace was the universal garden when she was in Lingnan." The most beautiful place down here has not been seen for many years. Now I finally have the opportunity, so I would like to thank Your Majesty and Your Majesty in advance.”

Seeing that Mo Wansheng had agreed, Lu Tingyu naturally couldn't say anything more and could only watch Jiang Lingyi and Mo Wansheng walk out of Qianqing Hall one after another.

Chu Nanchen had the chessboard brought in, and then he and Lu Tingyu sat on both sides of the chessboard.

"Ayu, I've traveled a long way and it's been hard on you, so I'll leave it to you to take charge of the black man."

Lu Tingyu didn't show any humility, he casually picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, followed closely by Chu Nanchen's white piece.

The two of them chased each other, but in the end, the black ones were all trapped in the middle by the white ones.

Although Black moved first, he ultimately lost to White.

"Ayu, you lost." Chu Nanchen said calmly, but there was no trace of the joy that a winner should have in his words.

Lu Tingyu put the black pieces back into the chessboard without any hesitation, and said in a faint voice, "I just lost this game."

Chu Nanchen could certainly hear the meaning of his words, and his brows tightened even more. After pondering for a long time, he decided to have a showdown with him, "Ayu, a few days ago, I found out that the Minister of Household Affairs had different thoughts, but he was still in office. He has made many contributions to Dachu over the years, so Ayu thinks, how should I deal with him? "

Zhuang Ye, the Minister of Household Affairs, was a descendant of King Jing'an, the elder brother of Princess Jing'an's Zhuang family, and the direct uncle of Lu Tingyu.

King Jingan is dead and Chu Nanchen has stabilized the court, so it is expected that he will start to eliminate dissidents. Therefore, the expression on Lu Tingyu's face did not change at all, "Your Majesty is the king and Zhuang Ye is the minister. What do you want, Your Majesty?" Everything is handled correctly.”

Chu Nanchen took a step further, "What if everyone in the family is executed?"

"That's what he deserves."

When choosing a position, you should be aware of the consequences.

Chu Nanchen's expression condensed slightly, "Ayu has really changed a lot compared to before."

In the past, Lu Tingyu could kneel down and beg him to let Emperor Yonghe take back his holy orders for Jiang Lingyi, but now, when faced with the life of his own uncle, he could say he deserved it without changing his expression.

Lu Tingyu picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, "People can change."

Not only has he changed, but so have Chu Nanchen and Jiang Lingyi.

Seeing that Lu Tingyu had no intention of saying more, Chu Nanchen still couldn't hold it back. Although he and Lu Tingyu had been on opposite sides for a long time, he had never forgotten the brotherly love for many years.

"A Yu, Zhuang Ye will let him go back to his hometown in Linzhou. As for you, I hope you will always be well. Mrs. Mo is a good girl."

This time, Chu Nanchen was talking about me, not me, which means that he sincerely advised Lu Tingyu to forget everything, and after inheriting the throne of King Jing'an, Tongmo Wansheng can live this life peacefully. lifetime.

Chu Nanchen is different from Emperor Yonghe. If Lu Tingyu is willing to withdraw from this power struggle, he can ensure that the Jing'an Palace will not be harmed again.

However, in the face of Chu Nanchen's supposed tolerance and generosity, Lu Tingyu just smiled casually, "Then... I will thank Your Majesty in advance on behalf of Zhuang Ye."

His parents died because of the royal family, how could Lu Tingyu let go of the past so easily?

He can't do it.

…

At the same time, the Royal Garden.

Jiang Lingyi led Mo Wansheng through the tree-lined paths. All the extra palace maids behind him were pushed back, leaving only a few confidants.

Mo Wansheng glanced at her quietly, then turned her gaze away calmly, already understanding in her heart that Jiang Lingyi might have something to say to her.

"I heard that the Crown Princess was the most favored daughter of the Lord of Hualing City, but she was willing to abandon her family and return to Shengjing with Crown Prince Lu. This shows that there is a deep affection between the two of you."

Mo Wansheng's lips raised a smile, "What I'm saying is that my husband and I have a deep love. My father didn't agree with it at first, but in the end he still didn't want to break up the lovers."

On the way into the palace, Lu Tingyu once told Mo Wansheng that the status of Prince Jing'an was special, so she did not need to grovel even in front of Chu Nanchen and Jiang Lingyi, the emperors and queens of the dynasty.

Mo Wansheng knew that Lu Tingyu felt sorry for her, so she still had to be polite. This was why she took the initiative to stay just now.

No matter how noble the Prince of Jing'an is, he is still a minister. It is not good to offend the emperor's face by being ignorant.

Seeing the bright and happy smile on Mo Wansheng's face, Jiang Lingyi felt that it was extremely annoying. She had obviously looked like this before, but in the end, she had to struggle step by step in this deep palace.

One year later, Jiang Lingyi is no longer the princess consort who still has a trace of kindness in her heart.

She is now blinded by power, ruthless and decisive, and the entire harem cannot make a single wave in her hands.

Jiang Lingyi thought that she had long forgotten the love of children, but until she saw Lu Tingyu and Mo Wansheng coming together, Jiang Lingyi realized that she had never forgotten Lu Tingyu.

The white moonlight that was sought but not obtained in youth cannot withstand the test of time.

What makes Jiang Lingyi even more painful is that Lu Tingyu has let go of the past with her and fell in love with another woman.

So a weed called jealousy grew wildly in her heart, and in just a short hour, it had buried most of her rationality.

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Lingyi turned to look at Mo Wansheng, "Did Prince Lu tell the Crown Princess that he once had a lover who was deeply engraved in his heart?"

After hearing this, Mo Wansheng didn't react much, but Yun Lan and Chun Tao behind Jiang Lingyi were the first to panic. It had been so long since the incident, why did Jiang Lingyi bring it up? Wasn't she afraid that Chu Nanchen would think too much after knowing it!

Mo Wansheng nodded and smiled, with a trace of undisguised envy and frankness in his eyes, "Well, my husband told me that he had been in love with the Queen for three years, but in the end he still couldn't escape the trick of fate. I feel sorry for you.

However, besides feeling sorry, I also envy the Queen, because the first person a man falls in love with when he first falls in love is something he will never completely forget in his life."

Mo Wansheng's frankness surprised Jiang Lingyi and several of her confidants behind her. At the same time, they also realized that it was no wonder that such a generous and dignified woman would enter Lu Tingyu's heart.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lingyi pursed her lips and asked again: "Do you really not mind at all?"

Mo Wansheng lowered his eyes slightly, "Of course I mind, but I know it's useless, so compared to the past that can't be replaced by persistence, I hope that my husband and I can have a perfect future."

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Lingyi, "At the same time, I also hope that the Queen and His Majesty can respect each other, love and live a harmonious life."

Such an open-minded character makes Jiang Lingyi feel more and more like a clown who clings to the past.

"The Crown Prince's wife is so generous that I really admire her."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind."

As soon as Mo Wansheng finished speaking, Lu Tingyu's gentle voice came from not far away, "Shengsheng, it's time for us to go home."

The group turned their heads at the same time and saw Lu Tingyu looking over here, with gentle eyebrows and a smile.

Mo Wansheng raised the corners of his mouth, two shallow dimples hung on his cheeks, and he said "OK" sweetly. After saying goodbye to Jiang Lingyi, he walked quickly towards Lu Tingyu.

Holding Mo Wansheng's hand, Lu Tingyu nodded politely to Jiang Lingyi, and then the two left side by side without looking back.

The man was tall and slender, and the woman had a slender back. Standing together, they looked like a perfect match made in heaven, and people couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.

It wasn't until the two figures completely disappeared in the distance that Jiang Lingyi murmured with a pale face: "Go home..."

Go home, what a beautiful and warm word, but Jiang Lingyi never really had it in her life.

Looking at Jiang Lingyi's lost soul, Yunlan and Chuntao were both distressed. If it weren't for Emperor Yonghe's obstruction, it would be Jiang Lingyi standing next to Lu Tingyu at this time.

But things had long been unable to turn around. All they could do was accept everything in front of them and continue to grind in the deep palace day after day.

"Empress, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace first."

"Okay."

Jiang Lingyi pursed her lips and responded lightly, and then went to Fengyi Palace with a heavy heart.

It was not until they returned to the main hall of Fengyi Palace and dismissed all the irrelevant palace maids that Yun Lan could not help but remind them, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being so nosy. Your Highness is now the Queen of Great Chu, so what happened today must never happen again in the future."

Jiang Lingyi did not even raise her head, staring at the teacup on the table in a daze, "I'm just... a little unwilling."

I was unwilling that the person I once loved had a new life, and that the girl standing beside him was so beautiful and flawless.

Chun Tao handed a hand warmer to her, "Your Highness is now the master of the six palaces, and you have enough. Just forget that little bit of unwillingness."

Everything in the world has gains and losses. Since Jiang Lingyi has already won the position of Queen, she should not try to live with Lu Tingyu.

Although Jiang Lingyi did not take the initiative to ask for the position of Queen at the beginning, now, she has long been unable to give it up.

As if she had thought of something, Jiang Lingyi suddenly raised her eyes, with an irrepressible dangerous light in her eyes, "Yunlan, you said, if I tell Xiu'er about..."

Jiang Lingyi's words were not finished, and Yunlan interrupted her with a cold voice, "Master, you are crazy!"

Chuntao didn't know about Chu Lingxiu's matter, so it would be harmless for her to know, but Yunlan couldn't accept Jiang Lingyi's attempt to win back Lu Tingyu with this matter. What's the difference between this and asking for death?

After Yun Lan interrupted his thoughts, Jiang Lingyi regained his senses a little, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity.

"That's all, I was temporarily confused."

Seeing that Jiang Lingyi didn't continue, Yun Lan felt a little relieved.

What the three of them didn't notice was that all the words they had just argued were remembered by someone in the palace.

…

The biting night wind blew away the last bit of light in Fengyi Palace, and the entire palace was completely shrouded in darkness.

When everything was completely silent, a petite figure slowly walked out of the palace door.

Not long after, this figure appeared outside the door of Qianqing Hall.

In the room, Chu Nanchen was correcting the memorial. Wang Huai walked up to him and whispered: "Your Majesty, Qingdai is here."

Qingdai, the tea-serving maid of Fengyi Palace, is Jiang Lingyi's confidant on the surface, but in reality she is a chess piece placed by Chu Nanchen next to Jiang Lingyi.

"Let her come in." Chu Nanchen responded, but did not raise his head. He did not look at Qingdai who was kneeling respectfully below her until he finished reading the last memorial.

"Tell me, what's going on with the Queen?"

Qingdai recounted to Chu Nanchen what Jiang Lingyi and Mo Wansheng said today. When she learned that Jiang Lingyi still had an unforgettable love for Lu Tingyu, Chu Nanchen's expression cooled slightly, but there was not much reaction, because Such a result had long been expected by him.

After the report, Qingdai got Chu Nanchen's signal and stood up to leave.

Then, just halfway through, he remembered what Jiang Lingyi said today when the situation in Fengyi Palace happened. After thinking for a moment, he recounted it to Chu Nanchen one by one.

After listening, Chu Nanchen’s brows furrowed even more, Chu Lingxiu?

He tapped his fingers on the table and kept thinking, and the last ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

Is Chu Lingxiu... really his son?

As soon as the idea came up, Chu Nanchen suppressed it again. No, he was indeed married to Jiang Lingyi when Jiang Lingyi was pregnant with Chu Lingxiu. What's more, how could someone as arrogant as her possibly do it? Will do such a thing...wait! If he remembered correctly, Jiang Lingyi went out to Shengjing a few days before the two of them slept together, and also stayed at Chenglu Temple for a night because of the heavy snow...

Impossible. How could Jiang Lingyi, a man who valued etiquette, do such a treasonous thing in the center of Buddhism?

Chu Nanchen comforted himself over and over again, but once some thoughts emerged, they could no longer be suppressed.

Heaven and man fought for a long time, and finally Chu Nanchen gave Wang Huai an order to ask Qingdai to find an opportunity to get a drop of Chu Lingxiu's blood.

After hearing this, Wang Huai's eyes were full of shock, but he quickly took it back and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of it now."

As expected, Chu Nanchen couldn't sleep that night.

On the dragon bed, Chu Nanchen tossed and turned, but there was no trace of sleepiness.

Looking at the bright yellow curtain above his head, Chu Nanchen's thoughts gradually drifted back to the day when Emperor Yonghe died.

When Queen Yuan and Jiang Lingyi were not around, Emperor Yonghe took Chu Nanchen's hand and solemnly confessed: "Chen'er, your princess is different from your mother. She has ambitions and calculations. You must be more careful. If it turns out that it is difficult to control him one day, he should be deposed directly, and he must not be benevolent as a woman."

When he heard Emperor Yonghe's words, Chu Nanchen pursed his lips. Although Jiang Lingyi didn't really marry him, he felt that Jiang Lingyi would never do anything.

Seeing Chu Nanchen's hesitation, Emperor Yonghe immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Chen'er, I want you to swear an oath with your father, that you will keep an eye on those who have different intentions, and you will definitely protect the country of Chu!"

Under the pressure of Emperor Yonghe, Chu Nanchen finally made the oath, and Qingdai was secretly placed next to Jiang Lingyi after Chu Nanchen became emperor.

In a year, Chu Nanchen saw her very few times, firstly because of his trust in Jiang Lingyi, and secondly because he was afraid of arousing Jiang Lingyi's suspicion.

There was already a grudge between him and Jiang Lingyi that was difficult to eliminate. If this incident were added to the situation, he might never be able to get into her heart in this life.

But I never expected that something like this would be accidentally involved today.

Chu Nanchen didn't dare to think deeply. If there was really a problem with Chu Lingxiu's identity, what would he do?

If Chu Lingxiu is really not his child, then whose child is it?

Could it be... him?
