Chu Xuanling: "Huh, why can I? Didn't you hear him say that he wants you?"

"I am just an object. Can he have me whenever he wants?"

Chu Xuanling: “…”

"You beat him up to vent your anger, but have you ever thought that the Prince Gong's Mansion has always been targeted by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has been keeping an eye on the Prince Gong's Mansion, waiting to find fault with it. Prince Gong is already walking on thin ice when competing with others. If Chu Li, this fox, deliberately makes trouble, it will be worse."

Um?

"Chu Li Fox?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…” He hasn’t evolved into a fox yet.

Yes, it should be said that Chu Li has not evolved into a fox in the eyes of outsiders. But Ruan Xinchen knows that in the struggle for the throne, Chu Li has already evolved into a fox.

"Anyway, don't mess with him. He's a prince, and in the future... in the future, he may inherit the throne. If you offend him, and he inherits the throne in the future, will he have to settle accounts with you? It's not worth it."

Chu Xuanling: "Oh, he is the one who will inherit the throne?"

Ruan Xinchen: "..." What? Do you think it's possible?

"He is the eldest son of the emperor."

"I know, but he is the legitimate son, and he is the eldest son of a concubine. The queen's legitimate son hasn't spoken yet, so why do you think he can inherit the throne?"

Ruan Xinchen shook his head and sighed.

I thought that the queen's legitimate son looked quite outstanding, and the queen's family was qualified to challenge the queen mother's party.

However, the prince has a fatal flaw, which, if exposed in the future, can directly deprive him of his inheritance rights and make the emperor angry to death.

Chu Li must know.

Therefore, it will be easier for him to ascend the throne in this life than in his previous life.

He didn't even have to take action, he just had to wait for the First Prince to fight the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. Once the First Prince had dealt with those little ones, he would directly expose the First Prince's scandals, which would be enough to nail him to the rack of shame before he could turn things around.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xinchen seemed to understand why Chu Li had been sitting in the wheelchair and was unwilling to get up.

What an unlucky thing, Chu Li must have thought so.

Pretend to be a useless person and wait for the little ones to fight.

"Oh, let me explain it to you. Anyway, I think he has a good chance. He has the Queen Mother and the Xiao family behind him, and he also occupies a long position."

"But he's a loser."

"It's just temporary, it will get better sooner or later."

"How do you know he will get better?" Chu Xuanling said, "Didn't you hear people say he's useless? Even if he could stand up, he'd still be on crutches."

Ruan Xinchen: "This must have been spread by Chu Li. How stupid! Someone actually believed it."

Chu Xuanling sneered and said, "Let's take a step back. Even if he gets better, what's the point? Originally, the Prince Gong's Mansion was on the side of the emperor. He is bullying us like this, forcing us to take sides. Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell my father and mother that anyone can succeed to the throne in the future, but Chu Li will succeed."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

Chu Xuanling left angrily.

Ruan Xinchen didn't know what to say for a moment, as if with just a few words, she had put an obstacle on Chu Li's way to ascending the throne.

놙Yes... can you really hold it?

The one living in that shell now is a fresh-out-of-the-oven youngster, a thousand-year-old fox or a ten-thousand-year-old turtle spirit.

Yes, did he really tell his father and mother?

Ruan Xinchen was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after him.

When she chased to the main room, she saw Princess Gong strolling with Old Madam Shen, but did not see Chu Xuanling.

At this time, Princess Gong saw her and waved to her.

"Xin Chen."

Ruan Xinchen was forced to step forward and salute.

"Greetings to my mother and grandmother."

"Get up." Princess Gong asked her with a smile, "Did you have a good time going back to the Ruan family today?"

It seemed that Princess Gong knew everything. Ruan Xinchen relaxed and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, mother. I'm fine. I went back to the yard where I lived before and took back all the seeds hanging under the eaves."

"Oh? Seeds?"

"Yes, when I have nothing to do, I will plant some fruits and medicinal herbs. I keep most of the seeds for myself so that I can continue planting next year."

"You still have this hobby, that's great, your yard is nice, if you like to grow vegetables, you can open up a vegetable patch."

"Thank you, mother."

After chatting with Princess Gong for a while, she was relieved when she still didn't see Chu Xuanling coming.

It seems that Chu Xuanling was just talking nonsense.

…

When she returned, she saw a familiar figure in front of the window.

Ruan Xinchen hurried into the house holding up the hem of her skirt, and saw Chu Xuanche leaning against the window against the light of the setting sun, one hand resting on the desk, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, reading it very seriously.

With that expression, she recognized him as Chu Xuanche at a glance.

"Prince?"

Chu Xuanche spread the bamboo slips out to the back, rolled up the front ones, and hummed lightly.

"Are you done with your work?"

"Um."

So cold, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"What are you looking at?" She bent down to look.

Chu Xuanche directly opened the front stall for her to see.

Ruan Xinchen saw the word "詰" engraved at the front.

She remembered that this was an official manual on exorcism from ancient times. How did he read such a book?

"Prince, are you in any trouble?"

He sighed irritably, then rolled up the bamboo slips and threw them directly into the basin.

"Hey, why is it burned?"

This thing was lost in later generations, so it must have been easy for him to find it.

Fortunately, she was quick and picked it out directly.

Fortunately, the bamboo slips were fine, except for some dust.

Chu Xuanche said calmly: "They are all deceptive things, what are you doing with them?"

Ruan Xinchen said as he brushed off the dust: "The ghosts here are not the same kind of ghosts as you described. You see, when it teaches people to distinguish ghosts, it mainly describes the abnormal behaviors of ghosts when they are sleeping, sitting, walking, and standing. People's abnormal behaviors have nothing to do with the kind of ghosts you described. It may be that they have psychological problems and suffer from mental illness, so they behave abnormally."

Originally Chu Xuanche was very concerned and planned to leave.

But after hearing her say this, he sat back down.

"You understand this?"

Ruan Xinchen smiled and thought for a while before saying, "Maybe my understanding is the same as yours."

"Then tell me how you understand it."

"Well, look at your grandmother, she behaves strangely, right? According to what's said here, is she like that?"

Chu Xuanche: "She is old and confused. Many elderly people are like this."

"Yeah, a lot of old people behave like that when they get older, it's just a habit, so they don't associate it with the ghost. But what if it's a young person? If this young person behaves abnormally, why is it so common?"

Chu Xuanche narrowed his eyes.

Ruan Xinchen looked at the contents on the bamboo slips and sighed again, "People are always afraid of unknown things. In order to alleviate the fear in their hearts, they often like to add some mystery to them and use weird and supernatural explanations. In fact, the truth is not that scary, but we don't understand it."
