Zhou Yangling was stunned, with light flashing in his eyes, and looked into his moist black eyes.

And he continued, "Do you know how I got this disease? I fell into the water to save someone... Do you know who I saved? It was Lu Xuechen. Then do you know why he fell into the water? I planned it. He was only a few years old at that time, and he had just arrived in Jianye and was unfamiliar with the place. He was sensitive and lonely by nature, and he didn't have any friends... I planned it for him, and then I asked for trouble and had a lifetime of hidden dangers. Fate is so fair."

"I don't owe him anything. I have been very good to him over the years and will continue to be so. I treat him wholeheartedly and give him everything I have. But I also have a stutter. I am not a good person, but I am not a bad person either."

Zhou Yangling's face turned pale for a long time before she asked, "Why tell it out? Isn't it better to keep it secret for the rest of your life?"

Liu Chu: "I thought about hiding it from you, letting you marry me without knowing it, and then accepting everything about me. You can't regret the marriage between a poor family and me. I love you in my heart, and now that I have you, you can't get rid of me for the rest of your life. But you are such an outstanding person... I feel so inferior in front of you."

He was lost in thought for a moment, his face pale. He looked at her again and smiled slowly: "In my life, everything I do is for profit. There is no such thing as doing nothing without profit, and that's what I mean for bad people like me. But even though I'm so calculating, I fell in love with you at first sight and I can never forget you..."

Zhou Yangling: "Young Master!"

Liu Chu whispered, "You're disgusted, aren't you? You were clearly a young man at that time, but I had such feelings for you. I once thought about giving up, but when I saw you, I couldn't give up. I've never liked anything in my life, and you're the only one who makes me feel that 'like' is not that far away. I fought with Lu San for you, and with Sister Luo for you... I like you too much. I don't want my like to be covered with dust."

Zhou Yangling listened to him quietly, from the initial shock to the later heartache. Liu Chu could not tell her these things, he could hide them from the whole world, he could deceive her. However, he told her his biggest secret and gave her his life. As long as he failed her, she could make him lose his reputation. Such an unexpected thing moved her so much, she was surprised and excited, and the lake in her heart was gently touched by water.

The night breeze blows on your face, and the world is fragrant.

After Liu Chu gave up, he closed his eyes and waited for Zhou Yangling's final verdict. To convict him and reject him. He didn't know that Zhou Yangling was smiling at him. She smiled, reached out and held his hand, and put a cold object in his hand.

Liu Chu opened his eyes and saw the jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was decorated with a necklace, which was a girl's item.

Zhou Yangling: "A gentleman will never leave his jade without a reason. I will never take it back after giving it to you."

Liu Chu: “……!”

He trembled: "You, you...you still promised me?"

Zhou Yangling: "Why not? You like me so much... I also admire you a lot... ah!"

He suddenly held her in his arms. It was the first time that the slender girl was held in his arms. But before that, he had dreamed about her thousands of times. He liked her too much and was too nervous about her, so he was worried about losing her. He felt relieved and cried with joy.

God is still kind to him.

…

Prince Chen and Zhou Yangling got engaged in August. The old emperor was confused and wanted to stop it but couldn't. He could only stare at Prince Chen. But Liu Chu didn't care. In mid-August, Liu Huai, the former Prince Zhao, was still trying to fight back, gathering those northern forces that were wandering around the border or ambushing in the south, and wanted to kill Jianye.

As a northerner, Yue Zihan personally went to root out these unstable factors hidden in the south one by one.

Liu Mu cooperated, but after a month of struggle, Liu Huai finally died under Liu Mu's sword.

Liu Mu and Yue Zihan returned to Jianye in triumph and were conferred titles. Without the Emperor's obstruction, even though everyone knew that Prince Hengyang had escaped from prison, His Royal Highness Prince Chen said that his merits and demerits were equal, and now the court was all under Prince Chen's rule, who would object? Liu Mu returned to Jianye openly, first went to Prince Chen's mansion to talk with His Royal Highness Prince Chen, then entered the Taichu Palace, and under the guidance of Prince Chen, went to see his mother, now the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother burst into tears, hugged the youngest son tightly, and said she was sorry for him. The old lady, who was already in her sixties or seventies, with gray hair, cried bitterly: "I don't want to give up on you either. It was my mother who found Mr. Kong for you. Do you remember? My mother has so many children, but you are the youngest. Your father and I love you the most... Mu'er, Mu'er, I can't bear to give you up either!"

Liu Mu's eyes were red. He hadn't seen his mother for a long time. He just wanted to ask why. His mother hugged him and cried. Liu Mu just said softly: "You love me the most, but you care about your other son's throne the most. You knew that the person in the edict of my father was me, but you didn't even give me a message..."

The Queen Mother looked slightly uncomfortable, and she nervously glanced at the back of the young man standing under the maple tree outside the palace. The timid figure was the current speaker, Prince Chen. The Queen Mother rebuked her youngest son in a low voice: "You can't say such treasonous words. How could your father leave any will before his death? How can you believe such rumors?"

Liu Mu slowly raised his head, his red eyes shining like cold light, looking at her solemnly. There were tears in his eyes, but the feeling of bone-chilling had already arisen.

He really wanted to ask, you said there was no will, is it because you are afraid that King Chen will make things difficult for me, or are you simply on the side of your other son.

But when he looked at his mother's face, he suddenly felt extremely tired and didn't want to ask a single question. So, why did he have to know the answer and get hurt again?

There was clearly a will, and even King Chen knew about it. Liu Chu let him leave the capital and did not kill King Zhao but let King Zhao leave, all in order to remove the Northern Kingdom spies who were in contact with King Zhao and were still hiding in the Southern Kingdom. The day after Liu Mu met Liu Huai, King Chen's men came to the door. How could Liu Mu not know what Liu Chu meant?

He didn't tell anyone, and after sitting with the edict all night, he still burned it.

Liu Chu was very scheming, and he had been like this since he was in school. He didn't say or mention many things, but he knew them all in his heart. If Liu Muruo didn't want to rebel, it would be better to eliminate this hidden danger. Moreover, he was grateful to Liu Chu for saving him. Liu Chu, a political enemy, treated him more sincerely than his brother and mother. At least, he didn't lie to him or trick him into death.
