Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

After receiving the invitation, Qin Ye rushed to the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion to look for Ling Qianyi. Dingguo Marquis and the eldest princess were also surprised about this. However, the two did not interfere with any decision of the child. As long as it was their son's choice, they would not complain or ask questions.

So, Qin Ye went directly to find Ling Qianyi.

Two days no see.

He looked quite haggard.

Sitting there, he was wearing a sky blue brocade robe which was a little loose, his eyelids were slightly darkened, he had some black stubble on his chin, his cheeks were a little sunken, and he looked like he was ten years older.

"Young Marquis..."

"Aunt, I know what you want to say. I'm serious. I've made up my mind and I won't change it."

The boy's voice was hoarse.

In the past, he was ignorant and spent his days eating, drinking and having fun without any worries.

Within two days, I took on the heavy responsibility, understood the importance of choice, and my character changed dramatically.

He wants to marry Gu Qingqing.

The day when Prince Chen returns triumphantly is the day he and Gu Qingqing get married.

"Why……"

Qin Ye took two steps forward and asked in disbelief, "You and Yun Ying are so close, why...why is it Gu Qingqing...is it because of Zong Zhengchen..."

Because the Gu family is in collusion with King Li.

Because Zong Zhengchen is far away in the northern border, his safety is unknown.

Therefore, he married Gu Qingqing entirely to help Zong Zhengchen.

Ling Qianyi pursed his lips, looked up at her, raised a forced smile, and said:

"Aunt, I didn't do this deliberately for anyone. I just considered things more comprehensively. I'm not a child anymore. Gu Qingqing is a very good choice. She matches my status."

"As for Yunying..."

His eyes darkened:

"She doesn't like me in the first place. If I keep clinging to her, it will only make her more and more disgusted. Since this is a fate that cannot be forced, why should I keep forcing her?"

Two people who love each other don't necessarily have to be together.

Sometimes, letting go is also a kind of love.

If Yunying doesn't like him, then he won't show up.

Yunying hates him, so he won't stick with her.

As long as Yunying can live a good life, it doesn't matter who he marries or who he lives with.

"Young Marquis..." Qin Ye pursed his lips bitterly, with a thousand words and emotions in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.

She knew that Ling Qianyi did this for Zong Zhengchen.

In order to save Zong Zhengchen, Ling Qianyi sacrificed her own lifelong happiness. Her heart felt as if it was blocked, and she was so depressed that she could hardly breathe.

She held onto the tabletop and staggered to her knees.

"This is what Prince Chen's Mansion owes you. Zong Zhengchen and I owe you..."

"Aunt!"

Ling Qianyi hurriedly helped her up, "What are you talking about? I figured it out myself, it has nothing to do with others. I used to be stuck in a rut, but now I've opened my mind and suddenly I see the light. It has nothing to do with you and Uncle Chen."

Qin Ye's eyes were red.

How could she not tell that he was lying?

How could she not know what he was thinking?

A battle in the northern border, due to the malicious interference and manipulation of Prince Li, caused Zong Zhengchen's safety to be unknown and Ling Qianyi and Yun Ying were forced to separate.

In his heart, the hatred and anger towards Zong Zhengli gradually deepened.

In this life, she and Zong Zhengli are irreconcilable!

.

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

In recent days, Prince Li has been performing better and better, and his prestige in the court has been gradually rising. He has won the hearts of the people and is like the sun at the peak of his career, rising rapidly and making great progress.

Today, I will go to court.

Zong Zhengli returned to the palace, "What's going on in Prince Chen's Palace today?"

This is something he asks every day, and he asks it three or five times every day.

"Same as before." Wu Nu walked half a step behind him.

"Is Qin Ye good?"

"Be good, don't go out, don't walk around, eat and take naps as usual."

"That's good."

He rubbed his tired brows, walked into the study, and sat down.

In a corner of the table, there was a nanmu flower-carved brocade box with eight bottles of medicine inside.

He saw it, paused for a moment, and asked:

"If I take this undead flower, will I really be immortal?"

Wu Nu smiled without comment:

"There is no such thing as true immortality in the world. However, this flower of the dead can prolong life. After the emperor takes it, he can live at least 80 years longer."

Zong Zhengli: "..."

The emperor lived to be eighty years old, and then another eighty years, making a total of one hundred and sixty years old.

By then, he will be dead, but the emperor will still be alive and well.

Then what's the point of his power struggles and scheming?

In the end it was all in vain.

He picked up a small white porcelain bottle and gently shook the liquid inside, a thoughtful light flashing across his eyes.

suddenly.

road:

"You can add something to the remaining medicine. It won't change the properties of the flower of the dead, but it can cause the emperor to die slowly without anyone noticing..."
