Chapter 21



"Hmm?" Thinking of her expression just now, Princess Gong smiled with relief again, "You're right, this is the first time I've met someone more arrogant than me, but I'm not as stupid as her."

The meal started and Princess Gong left when she was full.

No matter what others said, she just said she had to go back to take care of her sick mother and had to leave.

Ruan Xinchen was shocked when he saw this, and quickly got up and followed her footsteps.

"Xinchen, wait here for a moment. I'll go talk to your king."

"yes."

Ruan Xinchen was waiting for Princess Gong in the pavilion and watched her walk towards the east chamber.

As soon as her back disappeared, Ruan Xinchen saw Ling Lie, the chief guard beside Chu Li, coming over.

"Sister Ruan, our prince wants to see you."

Um?

Sister Ruan Er?

With a bad feeling in her heart, Ruan Xinchen refused, "You're so embarrassed. My mother asked me to wait for her here. She will be worried when she sees me when she comes back."

"Second sister, you are too worried. Princess Gong will be back soon. Please come in."

This means that Princess Gong is trapped by them.

When Ling Lie came out, no one was invited.

She suspected that if she continued to refuse to go, Ling Lie would knock her out and take her there.

Ruan Xinchen took a deep breath and said, "Please."

If you want to see me, you can only do it against your will.

Looking at the person in the wheelchair, Ruan Xinchen bowed slightly and saluted.

"I have met His Royal Highness the War King."

Chu Li gave Ling Lie a look and Ling Lie retreated.

After closing the door, he broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the people in the room with him.

However, he was a loyal guard and would carry out any orders from his prince, no matter how bizarre they were.

Just focus on guarding the goal, why think so much?

"Xinchen, are you...are you okay?"

Chu Li looked at Ruan Xinchen with a look of deep emotion, a look that Ruan Xinchen had never seen in her life.

Ruan Xinchen just felt strange and took a half step back subconsciously.

But that half step hurt Chu Li deeply.

He raised his hand, then put it back.

"Your Highness, Prince Zhan, you should address me as your cousin. It is presumptuous to address me by my first name."

Chu Li slowly lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "Yes, you are now... my cousin's wife."

Ruan Xinchen pursed her lips tightly and looked at him with inquiring eyes.

What's wrong with him?

"Before I woke up, I had a dream, Xinchen... 놊, cousin." He emphasized the two words, "Cousin, do you want to know what I dreamed about?"

"I want to know. If your Highness has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Xin Chen." When she turned around, Chu Li hugged her again.

Looking at her back, wearing a cloak, standing in front of the door.

"Xin Chen, I dreamed of you. I dreamed that the Imperial Grandmother's decree came to the Ruan family, and your sister Ruan Yihe was willing to go to Prince Zhan's mansion to celebrate. They forced you to marry into Prince Zhan's mansion."

Ruan Xinchen secretly clenched the hand hidden in her sleeve and closed her eyes, as if she was trying her best to endure something.

He really gained weight.

Or perhaps he dreamed of his past life.

"Really? Fortunately it was just a dream, but I am so miserable."

Chu Li felt like her heart was stabbed, and asked in disbelief: "Do you think marrying into Prince Zhan's mansion is a nightmare?"

"Yes, Your Highness, don't misunderstand me. What I mean is that my mother died early, and my grandmother who protected me also died early. I had a hard life, and the marriage that my grandmother arranged for me before she died had to be interfered with by them. That would be too miserable for me. Fortunately, they haven't been so cruel as to interfere with my marriage."

Chu Li felt very uncomfortable.

It turns out that she was forced by her entire family to marry into Prince Zhan's mansion in her previous life.

What would she think?

The Ruan family treated her so well and let her get married for good fortune, but she became a widow with a broken heart and her life was ruined.

It was so hard to wait for her husband to come. Did she ever feel lucky?

She would think that, with God's mercy, he had woken up and she now had someone to rely on.

But what did I do?

After waking up, he learned that he had married the woman he loved so much. His first reaction was anger.

He smashed everything he could get his hands on, angrily accusing them of taking advantage of his unconsciousness and ruining his marriage.

He angrily vented his emotions on her and thought about how to divorce her.

He dared not question the Emperor and Empress Dowager who were in charge, and could only get angry at her.

How sad must she have been at that time?

The helpless expression on her face back then seemed to appear before her eyes. She was frightened and her face turned pale, and then she said weakly that she could leave.

When he calmed down, he told her that he had a woman he liked and promised to marry her.

That night, he told her a beautified account of the encounter, describing Xu Moer as a perfect being who could only exist in heaven.

She was so moved by him that she cried.

So they made an agreement.

She pretended to be his wife, and when he was able to marry Xu Moli, he gave her an identity and let her leave the capital.

Everything is so perfect, if it is a quietly growing feeling...

But how can one explain matters like love? They come so quietly and without any reason.

He regretted and wanted to let her go.

He thought of a perfect solution, to fulfill the promise he made to Xu Moer, to make her his legal wife and to establish her as his queen.

Xu Xinchen was a concubine second only to the emperor.

Although it was unfair for his wife to be transformed into a concubine, he thought about it and decided to compensate her.

You can give her anything except the queen position.

He hadn't figured out how to open up to her yet, so he kept avoiding her during that time.

놊 wanted the palace lady to reveal it in advance so that she could know it.

He never knew Xin Chen was so strong-willed. She would rather die than suffer that humiliation.

When he saw her again, she had become a cold corpse.

Love seemed to have reached its peak at that moment. He held her cold body, repeatedly apologizing and calling for her to come back.

What Xu Moer, what throne, he wants no more.

He only wants her.

He never expected that God would give him another chance. When he woke up again, he returned to the year when he was seriously injured.

The past life is like a dream.

Unfortunately, what he couldn't accept was that in reality, the person who married into Prince Zhan's mansion for the joy of marriage was her.

It's her... How could it be her?

He wanted the kingdom, and naturally he wanted her.

"My cousin was traumatized at the time. He has some brain problems. You might be in danger of losing your life if you stay with him. Xinchen, if you just say the word, I will help you leave Prince Gong's Mansion."

Oh

She thought his words were a joke.

Ruan Xinchen slowly turned around and looked at the person sitting in the wheelchair.

"Is it okay for Your Highness the War King to slander the Crown Prince like this?"

"I'm not slandering him. He was indeed traumatized at that time and had brain problems. The Emperor asked everyone in the Imperial Hospital to see him and they all recovered."
