She was almost forbidden to go out to socialize, as she thought Princess Gong despised her and was embarrassed.

In fact, Princess Gong herself is also very sociable.

In the end, he was drowned by Chu Xuanche.

Chu Xuanche: "Drowned by me?"

"Yes, I heard that you went crazy and pushed her into the lotus pond and drowned her. She should have been under the bridge outside and was found after it had rotted away. She hated you so much that she wanted revenge all her life and has been waiting for the chance."

Chu Xuanche smiled sarcastically, "She is waiting for the opportunity for Chu Li to ascend the throne?"

"Yes."

He even has his eyes on Chu Li, how could he be afraid of her?

What a joke.

"She died tragically in that dream, and she was very jealous of me, so when she woke up, she rushed to marry into Prince Zhan's mansion."

"Envy you? Are you dead too?" Your death seems to be more miserable than Ruan Yihe's?

"She knew, she died early. She knew about the Ruan family's affairs and my death. She saw that Chu Li didn't even have a maid, and didn't know how respected I was. She only saw the good side. She knew that it was all an act for outsiders to see."

"Well, what about Chu Li? What happened to him?"

"I was wondering about that, too. Last time he told me he regretted it. He said he had treated me well in his last life and wanted to make it up to me in this life."

Chu Xuanche: "..."

"But don't worry, this is his idea, it has nothing to do with me. I used to treat him as a friend, but now I treat him as an enemy. There is a possibility that he and I will not be friends."

Chu Xuanche's expression improved a little.

"Then what's going on between him and that girl called Xu Moer?"

"I was wondering that, too."

Chu Xuanche: "..."

"Last time he told me that he had fulfilled his promise to Xu Moer in his previous life, and he owed her this life, and he wanted to live a good life with me."

Chu Xuanche's face darkened, "Humph, he wishes for it."

"Yes, he's dreaming. I think he's mentally ill. He's just dreaming, daydreaming, don't pay any attention to him."

Chu Xuanche suddenly felt a little emotional, and whispered: "Yes, it was just a dream, a daydream."

…

War Palace

Ling Lie applied medicine to Chu Li.

Chu Li's eyes were sluggish, and she knew what she was thinking. Ling Lie didn't dare to say a word.

After a long time, Chu Li finally uttered a sentence without any beginning or end.

"I can see she's going to leave him."

Um?

Who does he think is leaving?

"Ling Lie, we have to act in advance, otherwise I will never see her again."

Ling Lie: “…”

So you're talking about Miss 괗.

Yes...

"Action in advance?"

"Well, we have to act in advance."

"What do you mean . . . ?"

"Seize the position."

Seize the position?

Now?

"Your Majesty is in good health, isn't it too early?"

It's good now, but it only looks good.

He knew how long his father had lived.

It's death whether early or late, he originally wanted to die early.

He even wanted to fight for the throne.

He knew that Ruan Xinchen had just obtained a fake identity, and she had already obtained the household registration and travel permit, so he was looking forward to her leaving.

As long as she left, he would give up everything and follow her.

Fulfill her last promise and be a happy and free ordinary person.

But... he saw her coming one day and she would leave.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Xuanche was the most infatuated love he had ever seen.

She fell in love with Chu Xuanche, that madman.

That's ridiculous.

Chu Li had spent two lifetimes being more crazy than a lunatic.

Since he could live in seclusion with her in the mountains, he could only take that position and use his strength to win her back.

…

Ruan Xinchen has finished telling her secret.

"In exchange, is it time for you to tell me about your childhood?"

Chu Xuanche's expression changed suddenly.

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

She pounded his chest and said, "Hey, I've told you everything I wanted to say, but you're still hiding it from me? Don't you consider me your own? Are you... um..."

He blocked my mouth.

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

Ruan Xinchen pushed him away and said, "I have told you my secret, now it's your turn to tell your secret. Don't try to fool me."

This is an opportunity that must be forced upon him.

Chu Xuanche lowered his eyes and sat up from the bed.

Staring at the large cluster of flowers on the bed sheet, he fell into deep thought.

Ruan Xinchen also urged him to give him enough time to prepare himself mentally.

After being silent for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.

"When I was a kid...I almost died."

Um?

Ruan Xinchen looked at him in surprise.

"Their target was me, but... Xiao Ling led them away to cover up, and Xiao Ling was killed by them."

He talked about the past events in a rambling way.

At that time, they, their brothers, Chu Li, and the young prince were always with the late emperor.

The late emperor personally educated his grandchildren with a group of teachers.

This made the Queen, now the Queen Mother, feel a sense of crisis.

She thought the late emperor was not satisfied with his sons, so she personally educated her grandchildren, hoping to find a successor from them.

It would be fine if her eldest grandson Chu Li was the most favored by the late emperor, but Prince Gong's two sons were also very outstanding, especially the eldest grandson Chu Xuanche, who surpassed his younger brothers in both civil and military affairs and was deeply loved by the late emperor.

The late emperor once praised Chu Xuanche for his intelligence in public.

This made the Queen Mother feel a sense of crisis.

Therefore, she has been looking for opportunities to get rid of Chu Xuanche.

When the late emperor was in good health, she dared not act rashly.

Later, the late emperor recovered and he gradually took control of some things. She knew her chance had come.

She asked someone to get rid of Chu Xuanche, but unexpectedly, Chu Xuanche ran away, and the person who got rid of him was Chu Xuanling.

“I hid in an abandoned temple and saw Xiao Ling die in front of me with my own eyes, but I didn’t dare to move…” Chu Xuanche took a deep breath and his face looked a little paler.

Ruan Xinchen looked at him worriedly and asked, "You grow up feeling guilty, right?"

Chu Xuanche shook his head, "Actually... Actually, I forgot this memory for a long time."

"Forgot?"

Chu Xuanche nodded, "I remember it now, that night... that night when you tortured Xiao Ling."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

She tormented Chu Xuanling's personality and accidentally opened Chu Xuanche's sealed painful memories?

Chu Xuanche rubbed his brows, as if trying to control his anxiety while trying hard to recall.

"I didn't forget it at first, and after I came back, I couldn't sleep well anymore. But as soon as I closed my eyes, I started to have nightmares and talk nonsense. The imperial physician came to see me, but it was of no use.

I especially heard them say that Xiao Ling had died. I could listen, I could listen a little. Later they said that Xiao Ling was just sick like me, and was just recuperating in a farm outside the city. She would come back when she recovered. I believed it and I always thought that Xiao Ling would come back.
