When Xue Ronghua saw the Prince Jin that had appeared from the Tingxue Building, she could not help but be slightly startled.
Prince Jin smiled at her in a relaxed manner. "Young Master Mu, long time no see."
Completely ignoring his teasing, Xue Ronghua lowered her head and walked to the table furthest away from him.
Prince Jin shamelessly followed and smiled at her, "Young Master Mu doesn't seem to want to see me."
"Prince Jin sees through my heart." Xue Ronghua faintly sighed.
The Prince Jin smiled as he looked at her cold eyes, "I have some information on the Prince Duan, does Young Master Mu not wish to know about it?"
Xue Ronghua's heart was moved as she said, "Prince Jin and Prince Duan are really compatible."
"Prince Duan and I have always been in sync. I'm afraid Young Master Mu rarely meets with Prince Duan. Would you like to know from me how my husband is doing?"
Xue Ronghua was afraid that he was trying to trick her into secretly dating Chu Zongge, so she replied, "Then, thank you Prince Jin."
"I wonder what kind of stimulation Prince Duan suffered. Recently, the competition for the throne against the crown prince has grown fiercer and fiercer."
"Why is Prince Jin telling me all this, I just want to know if Prince Duan has been eating and sleeping well recently. As for the matters of the court, how can a little girl like me meddle in it?"
Prince Jin revealed a hint of a meaningful smile, "No matter what, what I just said concerns you, and whether you want to hear it or not is up to you."
Xue Ronghua smiled, "Since Prince Jin is so concerned about the matters between me and Master Duanwang, then I should also be concerned about the matters between Prince Jin and Big Sister."
Prince Jin maintained his smile and asked, "What do you want to know from me?"
"I want to know, that day, there was a song of Spring Dancing, does Big Sis live in the Prince Jin's heart."
The Prince Jin stared at her and laughed: "The one who entered my heart was not the dancer, but her."
Xue Ronghua unintentionally pestered these ambiguous words from him, and dispelled her smile: "Since Prince Jin and Master Duanwang are on good terms, then there should be a reason to be brothers. Don't overthink things in a place where you shouldn't think about it."
Prince Jin cupped his hands and smiled, "Quasi-wangfei's teachings are correct."
"I don't dare to teach Prince Jin a lesson."
"Young Master Mu," the Prince Jin said with a smile, "You said earlier that brothers have to be brothers, right? If you were a man who had fallen in love with a woman, what would you do?"
Xue Ronghua frowned, "Prince Jin, do you want to tell me a story?"
There was once a pair of brothers, and although they were half brothers, they had never had any different feelings for each other. One day, as a little brother, I wanted to show my beloved beauty to my brother, but as he fell in love with her at first sight, he became selfish and wanted to take her for himself. Thus, he used his eldest son's power to drive my brother out of the house and forcefully marry her into the family.
Xue Ronghua couldn't see any meaning in Prince Jin's eyes, "Is Prince Jin telling his own story?"
Prince Jin drank a mouthful of wine and looked at her deeply, "I am talking about Prince Duan's story."
Xue Ronghua laughed involuntarily: "To ignore the matters of relatives, Prince Duan will definitely not be able to do it. Prince Jin is overthinking it."
"I never said before that Prince Duan could not do it."
Xue Ronghua remained silent. No one knew who Prince Jin was standing with, but although he was close to Prince Duan on the surface, he still appeared to be hesitant in private. If this Xiao Yao Prince, who was not interested in becoming the crown prince, had other thoughts, it would be extremely troublesome to deal with.
"Prince Jin and I only sat together for a short while, yet you said so much. Thank you very much. I will definitely ask Prince Duan about that story and get to know the follow-up."
"The follow-up will be very interesting." Prince Jin smiled as he raised his cup, "Young Master Mu, you must not miss the opportunity."
Xue Ronghua laughed, "Prince Jin, don't always call me Young Master Mu. Back then, I was just joking around due to my own low policy."
"I didn't call you Young Master Mu because I was joking," Prince Jin leisurely said. "I only heard that Young Miss Xue said that you had changed a lot compared to before. You are no longer that Xue Ronghua anymore, so I want to call you by a different name."
Luan Feng Palace. Chu Zongge carefully held up the plaque, and swept the dust off it. The pure white moonlight poured down, and these two words seemed to shine with a divine power.
Today, in the Imperial Study, he waited from day to night. Even when his legs were numb, the Emperor still refused to see him. Helpless, he could only return here.
What kind of relationship did Liu Chengyun have with the Emperor? What kind of relationship did the Empress Chen have with the Emperor, then, what kind of relationship did the Empress Chen have with the Emperor? Could it be that Liu Chengyun was doted on by the Emperor first, and due to the intervention of the Empress Chen, the Emperor made a decision in one breath on Liu Chengyun, and moved into a Luan Feng Palace that was thousands of miles away from the Emperor?
Thousands of thoughts were swirling in his mind, and as he stood in the darkness of the walls, his mind was blank. The complexity of the matters with the Qin Nation was not one bit inferior to the Chiron back then.
"Yun Niang, is that you?"
An extremely magnetic middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from the willow forest outside the palace.
This voice, Chu Zongge frowned in shock. Wasn't this the Emperor? What was he doing here so late at night?
The jade pendant on the emperor's waist jingled. It seemed as if he was about to walk in. Chu Zongge was momentarily at a loss. The place was a broken wall and he did not know how to hide.
"Your Majesty, don't .." Chu Zongge panicked and tried his best to imitate the female's voice, "Your majesty, don't come over here first."
The emperor's footsteps stopped in the middle of the willow forest. His voice was filled with the anxiety and nervousness of a reunion after a long time. "Yun Niang, why aren't you letting me pass?
Chu Zongge replied with difficulty: "Your majesty, Yun Niang is untidy and it's inconvenient for me to show it to Sage."
"Yun Niang, no matter what, you are always the most beautiful in my heart." There was a hint of childlike anticipation in the emperor's words.
"I... I don't know how to face you. " Right now, he could only find a way to stall them.
"Yun Niang, are you still blaming me for what happened that year?"
What happened back then? Chu Zongge's interest was piqued, this was probably the breakthrough point between him and Liu Chengyun. I don't know what you were thinking about that year's events. "
The emperor's voice was filled with a painful struggle. "What I think in my heart is all you, Yun Niang."
Seeing that the emperor was at a loss for words, he could only take out the Empress Chen. "You already have the Empress Chen in your heart, why are you still saying that all you think about is me?"
"In my heart, it's all because of you, there's no Empress Chen."
Sigh, I've gotten to a small point. Chu Zongge endured the discomfort he felt from talking to the man and continued to speak, "If it was me in your heart, how would I let her become the empress?"
The emperor's figure stiffened as he said doubtfully, "You .." You never asked. "
Chu Zongge was afraid that he would be exposed, hence he quickly added, "Now I want to know."
The Emperor lowered his head and sighed. "Didn't you always know?"
What do you know? Why doesn't the emperor always explain everything at once? Chu Zongge said with a headache, "I don't know. Your majesty, tell me about it."
"Yun Niang, why are you saying things like that, why do you call me your majesty?"
Chu Zongge replied to him a few times, and felt that it was rather interesting to tease this emperor who had a cold and handsome face in his Imperial Study.
"Didn't you say that no matter what, I am beautiful in your heart? Why can't I just change the way I speak? "
"Alright, Yun Niang, if you want to say it like this, then say it." The Emperor immediately came to a compromise.
Chu Zongge probed again: "That Empress Chen, do you love her?"
The emperor dumbly replied, "I don't love you. The one I love is you."
"Then why did she stay in the harem for so long?"
"Because of you."
"Because of me?" Chu Zongge asked, secretly hoping for his answer.
The emperor, who had originally stopped moving in the willow forest, actually trotted over and quickly rushed over.
"Yun Niang, I think of you in my dreams every day. Quickly come out and see me."
Chu Zongge was shocked, why did the emperor suddenly run over, he immediately used his martial arts and leapt over a palace wall, escaping to another palace.
When he reached the location of the Yun Niang, he didn't see anyone there. He raised his head and saw that crescent-like crescent moon hanging in the night sky. It was as if everything that had just happened had only been the two of them, and his Yun Niang had long since disappeared.
Finally unable to control himself, he grabbed onto the Luan Feng Palace plaque and wailed loudly.
"Royal Father." Chu Zongge's eyes were filled with tender love, "This son had a dream yesterday."
The emperor coldly replied, "Isn't it normal to dream?"
"But, your son's dream is very strange. Your son's dream of Luan Feng Palace, dream of mother, and in my dream, I saw mother walking out of a forest towards your son .."
The emperor's brush paused heavily on the paper. He tried his best to control his trembling voice. "You .." Where did you go last night? "
Chu Zongge said with an innocent face, "This son was reading the book on Xinyang Hall last night."
The emperor took a deep breath and said slowly, "From now on, don't be too late to warm your books, lest you have strange dreams at night."
"Royal Father, tell me, will mother really come back?"
The emperor's eyes widened all of a sudden. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times. "People can't revive after dying. Don't think too much about it. Reading is more important."
"But Royal Father," Chu Zongge said anxiously, "This son not only dreamt of mother, but also dreamt that mother was speaking to him inside the Luan Feng Palace, just like before."
He saw that the emperor's expression was growing increasingly solemn, so he added, "This son remembers .."
The Emperor raised his head and looked straight at him, "How old were you when your mother was here? How many things can you remember?"
Chu Zongge was stunned. He had originally wanted to explain the Mrs. Heyi's situation to her today, but who would have known that she would be blocked by the emperor just after saying a few words.
"Royal Father, although this son is young, I can vaguely see it .."
"Hur hur, you saw it too?" "I have never been to your mother's Luan Feng Palace before. What did you see there?"
Chu Zongge stared at him blankly, and for a while, didn't know how to respond.
"And you say you had some strange dream. I can see that you have spent all your time and energy on making friends with the court and competing for the position of crown prince. You must be trying to find something out from me."
Chu Zongge quickly kneeled down, and looked at him pleadingly. "Royal Father, this son doesn't dare."
"Eunuch Ning, send the order," The emperor's voice was as cold as ice. "The Prince Duan's words have no pattern, they have to do with the confinement of the Xinyang Hall for three months. Unless it's an imperial edict, no one is allowed to see him."
Chu Zongge's shocked expression froze on his face. Just what was going on? Last night, the emperor clearly had a deep affection for Liu Chengyun and missed him, but why was she acting like this now?
"Royal Father .." Chu Zongge still wanted to explain a few more things to him, but all his thousands of words stopped right in his throat, unable to speak properly.
"Alright," The emperor's eyes were filled with frost. "Go to the Xinyang Hall and think about it carefully."
