"His Majesty has not been sleeping well lately, Your Highness, please be understanding!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting..."
Leng Chuchen's pupils contracted slightly as he paced back and forth outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Eunuch Hu rolled his eyes and stepped forward again.
"Your Highness, I heard that Miss Luo is ill. You should go back and take care of her. If there is anything, this old servant will pass on a message to you."
Mentioning Zhiwan and remembering her mother's attempt to kill her, Leng Chuchen became even angrier.
After pondering for a moment, he bowed and clasped his hands in greeting:
"Please trouble Eunuch Hu to pass on a message for me, saying that I request my father to issue an edict to abolish my position as crown prince."
"Oh, what are you saying, Your Highness?"
Eunuch Hu blinked hard a few times, then continued:
"Could it be that you've acted impulsively because of Miss Luo's assassination attempt, and now you want to give up your position as Crown Prince?"
Leng Chuchen did not answer him. He couldn't very well tell a eunuch that he had found out that it was his mother who wanted to kill Luo Zhiwan!
Eunuch Hu sighed and softly advised:
"This old servant believes that if Your Highness truly cares about Miss Luo, you should not even consider giving up the position of Crown Prince."
He looked up at him.
"What does Eunuch Hu mean by that?"
"This old servant is foolish, but this old servant thinks that the person who wants to kill Miss Luo must be doing so because of Your Highness. If you were no longer the Crown Prince, could you guarantee that the person who wants to kill her would give up the idea of assassinating her? Without your position as Crown Prince to protect you, do you really think you could protect Miss Luo?"
Hu Gonggong's words suddenly gave Leng Chuchen a sense of enlightenment.
Yes, if he doesn't become the crown prince, will the Empress Dowager let Zhiwan go?
Of course not, she would hate Zhiwan even more, and she would want to kill her even more.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Hu. I have other matters to attend to at my residence, so I'll head back now. Please don't tell my father that I've been here."
Eunuch Hu immediately smiled.
"Your Highness, please take care..."
Watching him leave in a hurry, Eunuch Hu turned back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where the Emperor rushed to greet him.
"He's gone?"
"They're gone."
"It's good that he's gone. If he had really come to me to ask for the decree to depose the crown prince, I really wouldn't know how to respond. This child is good in every way, except that he's too emotional."
“Your Majesty, this old servant thinks it’s a good thing that His Highness the Crown Prince values friendship. Apart from her poor background, Miss Luo has no other faults.”
“But Chen’er is too infatuated with her, which is not the behavior of a crown prince.”
"The Crown Prince is, after all, young and impetuous..."
"Yes, I was young once too, and I understand how he feels right now, but what can I do? Who told him to be born into an imperial family? Children of imperial families have no right to fall in love..."
At this point, the emperor seemed to be thinking of the woman he had once been in love with, and his eyes became misty.
Leng Chuchen arrived in a huff and puffed, then left in a hurry.
As soon as he returned to the door, Li Ping came forward to greet him.
"Your Highness, you must go and see! Princess Chang Le and the young prince are fighting."
Upon hearing this, his brows furrowed instantly.
"What happened?"
"I don't know either. The young prince came to see Miss Luo, exchanged a few words with me at the door, and then left. Then I heard that he got into a fight with Princess Chang Le, and even the eldest prince couldn't stop him."
Where?
"It looks like they even drew swords in the back garden..."
Leng Chuchen's expression instantly turned cold, and she asked:
"How is Miss Luo?"
"Madam Luo and Miss Luo are taking care of her. She hasn't woken up yet, but the imperial physician said she should be fine."
"Okay, I'll go check the backyard."
Since these two were fighting in his house, he had to find out what was going on.
When he arrived at the backyard, he indeed saw Wei Changle and Leng Chuyang fighting fiercely with swords drawn.
After trying to persuade him for a while and finding that he couldn't change his mind, Wei Tiancheng simply gave up and sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and watching the commotion.
He went to Wei Tiancheng's side, watched him watching the two of them fight with great interest, and asked in confusion,
"Your Highness, why didn't you stop them? What if Princess Chang Le got hurt?"
Wei Tiancheng, however, squinted at him.
"Doesn't Your Highness think that the two of them are actually a good match?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Chuchen seemed to awaken from a dream.
Yes, Princess Chang Le's intended marriage partner was Leng Chu Yang, but after arriving in the Heavenly Dynasty, she suddenly changed her mind and insisted on marrying him. As a result, the Emperor revised the marriage decree and sent it to the Southern Yuan Kingdom.
If Wei Changle and Leng Chuyang develop feelings for each other during this period, wouldn't that save him a lot of trouble?
In that instant, he suddenly felt that the sun was shining brightly before him, and the knot in his heart that had been piling up because of Wei Changle seemed to have been untied.
"Your Highness is wise. I also think the two of them are the most well-matched. Even if they bicker and joke around, they can still have fun together..."
Wei Tiancheng glanced at him sideways, a mocking smile on his face.
"If Chang Le didn't bother you, wouldn't you be much more relaxed?"
It turned out that Wei Tiancheng knew his thoughts and could see that he only had Luo Zhiwan in his heart.
He looked back at him and said, "The Crown Prince is very understanding. I am very grateful."
Wei Tiancheng glanced at the sky and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I'm just empathizing with them."
"Oh? Could it be that the First Prince also has some unspeakable difficulties in matters of the heart?"
Wei Tiancheng shook his head helplessly.
"It's better not to talk about things that bother you."
Having said that, he stood up from his chair.
"Your Highness, why don't you go and see Miss Luo? I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
