They received news that Prince Liang led his troops into the capital and took control of the government. The queen had been imprisoned, and Prince Liang had appointed himself regent.
For them, Prince Liang's self-proclaimed regent had no effect.
They were at the point where they could march down to the city walls and take the imperial capital, but he stood still.
Chen Jingxi paused, then continued, "Is it because you can't do it?"
To him, his parents were in the palace. Even though it was not good for him, killing his parents was indeed a bit cruel to him.
"Jingxi, I just don't know how to face them." Chu Jinghuai's voice was light, and no emotion could be heard.
But he hugged Chen Jingxi tightly, holding her even tighter, as if he was hiding something.
Chen Jingxi turned around and faced him. She had never seen Chu Jinghuai like this before. He curled up, frowned slightly, and his face showed a bit of sadness.
For the first time, Chen Jingxi realized that the tough and arrogant Chu Jinghuai actually also needed comfort, had an unknown side, and was vulnerable.
She held his hand and said, "Chu Jinghuai, no matter what, I will be with you and accompany you to face everything. No matter what decision you make, I will support you and trust you all my life."
Chu Jinghuaihui held her hand and looked into her eyes. "No matter who I am, you will never leave me and stay with me, right?"
"Yes, I will never leave you for the rest of my life." Chen Jingxi smiled. She still found it difficult to say such corny words.
Chu Jinghuai pulled her close, kissed her lips, and said softly: "It's not enough, one life is too short, I want life after life."
He didn't believe in the afterlife before, but when he knew she came from the future, from another world, he began to believe it.
Chen Jingxi pushed him away and said with a smile: "For eternity, then I would be at a huge loss."
"This prince will only take one scoop from the three thousand rivers for you. You promised me for eternity. This deal is not a loss for my princess."
Chen Jingxi reached out and wanted to hit him, "You promised to be with me alone, I didn't force you to do that."
Chu Jinghuai grasped her fist and held it in his palm. "This is what I promised. Princess, please pity me. I can't live without you for the rest of my life."
Chen Jingxi chuckled, "Then this princess will show mercy and stay with you for eternity."
"Thank you, Princess."
Seeing that he seemed to be worried, Chen Jingxi asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Princess, what would you think if I were told that I was not the emperor's son?"
Chen Jingxi sat up in shock, "I told you there was something fishy about your life story. Look, I was right."
His Royal Highness Prince Su held his forehead. Is this something exciting? Why does his princess look so happy?
"Princess, if you are not my father's son, there will be fewer people supporting me in the court." There will be many people who will come out to oppose him.
Chen Jingxi said, "This isn't how the founding emperors of all dynasties came to be. Suddenly, I'm going to be the founding empress. I'm a little excited. By the way, who is your father?"
Chu Jinghuai's mouth twitched. Chen Jingxi's perspective on things was always so unexpected. "It's Uncle Liang. I'm sorry that I can't let you become the founding queen."
"Oh! I see. So you're in a bad mood because you don't know how to deal with this relationship?"
Chu Jinghuai nodded.
Chen Jingxi looked very excited. "I might sound a bit gloating when I say this, but you have to believe me, I definitely don't mean that."
Chu Jinghuai's eyes twitched. For some reason, he felt that Chen Jingxi's next words would make him want to vomit blood.
"If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't be depressed. You have to know that these days, if you are born into a royal family, you can't say you were born into a royal family without some bloody experiences, some tragic experiences, and some difficult to talk about past."
"For example, your mother was framed by other concubines and imprisoned in the cold palace, out of favor and just a little maid, or died early. It's normal for your mother to cheat on you, because your father is not a good person at first glance. So this is the case for everyone in your line of work."
Chu Jinghuai was a little amused and confused. What was going on?
A bloody tragedy? A tragic experience? An unspeakable past? His mother's infidelity? Is this normal? Didn't someone teach her to be so comforting?
Chu Jinghuai held his forehead with his hand in his hand and said, "Princess, I feel much better. I am not sad or depressed at all."
"Now that you're in a good mood, tell me about the love triangle between your father, your biological father, and your mother."
Aren’t you the type who comforts people and then starts to expose their scars?
"Princess, I feel it is late and I should rest."
"But I'm not sleepy! I can't sleep. Look, the baby is moving, so he's not sleepy either. Please satisfy our curiosity." Chen Jingxi kept shaking Chu Jinghuai's hand, making it impossible for him to pretend to be asleep.
Chu Jinghuai sighed, "Do you think that I am the result of their incestuous relationship?"
"No, it's not your fault."
"When I heard you scolding Ouyang Jian that day, I was wondering if you would dislike me if you knew my background?"
Chen Jingxi flicked his head, then said with a smile, "Are you stupid? How can he compare to you? These are two different things. You're not the one who disregards ethics and morals. I still think you're a victim."
Chu Jinghuai suddenly became much more cheerful and began to speak, "Back then, in order to win over my grandfather, my father forced my mother into the harem. At that time, my mother and Uncle Liang were in love with each other. After my mother entered the palace, she gave birth to me more than eight months later. I obtained a letter from my father's secret chamber, which contained the testimony of the imperial physician, stating that I was not a premature birth."
