Chapter 370: A Life of Dampness
The Crown Princess wiped the tears from her face vigorously.
She stared at Lu Zhiheng solemnly. She had lost her husband at this moment, and it should be the saddest time, but she was forcing herself to stay calm and make plans for the future.
She knew that Lu Zhiheng had complicated feelings towards Emperor Qinglong.
Lu Zhiheng might not be able to hate Emperor Qinglong as much as they do.
But it was no longer up to him to do it or not.
"Heng, I know that person is always good at acting. He used sugar-coated bullets to deceive you."
"His plot was directed at the Queen Mother and your brother, but never at you."
"No!"
The Crown Princess suddenly looked up, her tone gloomy, and her voice was filled with deep hatred.
"He killed you with nothing more than a soft knife, a sugar-coated bullet! Otherwise, how do you think your reputation as a playboy could spread so far?"
"Heng, he always acts like he's spoiled you to the point of you not knowing your place, but have you forgotten how those people died?"
The Crown Princess stared at Lu Zhiheng.
"If nothing else, you should know how your princess died!"
"Outsiders say she died of a difficult childbirth, do you really think it was a difficult childbirth?"
"Could it be that after so long, even you have forgotten it?"
The Crown Princess sneered again when she said this.
"That's right, Sui Sui isn't your real daughter! Her mother married you as a temporary solution. From the beginning to the end, you were just a benefactor. Ultimately, she isn't your princess, and the child in her belly isn't yours!"
When the Crown Princess said this, Lu Zhiheng's face suddenly darkened.
“Sister-in-law!”
"Walls have ears, be careful what you say!"
He frowned tightly and stared at the Crown Princess without blinking.
"Also, Sui Sui is my daughter. Please don't say such things again in the future, sister-in-law."
"If Sui Sui heard this, how would you explain it to the child?"
He brought up Suisui by himself.
How come she is not his daughter?
The Crown Princess frowned, knowing that she had said the wrong thing. Lu Zhiheng had always treated Sui Sui as his own child, and she had watched the child grow up with her own eyes.
I really shouldn't say such things at this time.
The Crown Princess took a deep breath and finally swallowed back what she had just said, but the hatred in her eyes remained unchanged.
"But her mother died. Her mother died unjustly. You must know this!"
"Lu Zhiheng, don't you think that your father, who murdered your mother, your brother, your first wife, and even your maternal grandfather's entire family, will let you go alone?"
Too.
Emperor Qinglong prided himself on being deeply affectionate.
It was clear that all the people from the late queen's family had been beaten to death, leaving no one alive.
But he still had to tell the world that the queen died young and he was extremely sad.
What happened was that the prince gave birth to a weak son, which made him extremely heartbroken.
So she could only dote on the queen's youngest son Lu Zhiheng with all her might.
As if in this way, his white moonlight queen would come back.
Emperor Qinglong was very good at acting. This act of his deceived not only the people of the world but also himself. Perhaps even he himself now felt that he was a truly affectionate emperor.
But is this really the case?
The Crown Princess stared at Lu Zhiheng.
Her words were like a sharp knife piercing into Lu Zhiheng's heart, shattering what he had been avoiding.
It also shattered his self-deception.
"Ah Heng, the Emperor's sword will be aimed at every one of us. He killed our mother, your brother, and your wife, and now it will be your turn!"
Having said this she chuckled again.
"Okay, even if you don't care about your own life, what about Sui Sui?"
"Sui Sui is your daughter. She's still so young, but I think the Dog Emperor already sees her as a thorn in his side. If you keep lying there like this, sooner or later Sui Sui's life will be in danger. When that happens, don't regret running away now!"
Lu Zhiheng clenched his fingers tightly into his palms.
His face darkened and his voice sounded neither gloomy nor sad, but the raindrops outside seemed to float into his heart through the gaps in the window sheets.
"Sui Sui is just a little girl."
"There is no threat to imperial power."
After all, there has never been a precedent of a woman inheriting this country.
In any case, no matter how cruel the Azure Dragon Emperor was, he would not point his knife at a little girl like Sui Sui.
The Crown Princess smiled slowly, she laughed at Lu Zhiheng's naivety.
Laugh at the other person's stupidity.
He even laughed at the fact that the other party was still deceiving himself and thinking that Emperor Qinglong would be a humane emperor.
"good!"
"You insist on being so stubborn and deceiving yourself. I won't force you. You've been hiding behind your brother's raincoat all this time. Those arrows, both open and hidden, have never landed on you. In the end, you were never the one who lost your life."
"You even gained benefits from Emperor Qinglong, how could you be willing to hate him!"
The Crown Princess's eyes were extremely bloodshot.
"You are the one who has benefited greatly. Of course, you don't want to hate your father. After all, if you really hate your father, then whether or not those benefits will fall upon you will depend entirely on your father's own thoughts!"
Lu Zhiheng clenched his fingers tightly into his palms.
He closed his eyes.
"No."
"Sister-in-law, you are wrong. I have never forgotten my hatred. I have never forgotten how our mother died! Now I will not forget how my brother died!"
The reason why he kept hesitating and couldn't make up his mind was simply because he always remembered that when he was a child, Emperor Qinglong always showed a look of deep affection towards his mother.
Although his mother always had a forced smile on her face, she always spoke well of Emperor Qinglong in front of him.
There were many cruel things that he only learned about much later.
He found out too late, so the impression of Emperor Qinglong as a kind father had already been deeply rooted in people's minds.
He woke up too late.
So much so that even now, he clearly knew that Emperor Qinglong might not be a good father, and clearly knew that Emperor Qinglong's love for him was mixed with too many calculations, but the memories of his childhood were too unforgettable.
So much so that he still remembers it now.
Lu Zhiheng closed his eyes.
His eyes were fixed on the prince's body.
The loss of a loved one is not a rainstorm, but the dampness of a lifetime.
Lu Zhiheng smiled bitterly twice.
"Sister-in-law, let me think about it."
The Crown Princess just stared at him.
"Then think about it carefully. Ah Heng, don't blame me for not warning you. Sui Sui is no longer an ordinary girl. She has mastered the mystical arts. Emperor Qinglong will find out sooner or later. If the truth is known to you one day, will he still be able to tolerate Sui Sui?"
