Chapter 1161: Ying Changzai's Secret

Lu Xingwan looked at her with a smile on his face.

She secretly thought in her heart that it was a good thing that Chang Ying was now able to put her mind right and focus wholeheartedly on her father.

After all, the eldest senior brother is really not suitable for her. If she stops clinging to the past and stays well with her father in the future, she can also plan a good future for herself and her family.

The reason why Lu Xingwan has been at ease with his mother for all these years is precisely because his mother is now the person with the highest status in the harem.

Therefore, Lu Xingwan doesn't have to worry about being bullied by others.

Except for my father.

But if my father really wanted to bully my mother or attack her, then he must be crazy.

I don't mind getting rid of him.

Although I respect my father very much, he is still far inferior to my mother.

If she were given a choice, she would choose to protect her mother.

The next moment, the Great Chu Emperor stretched out his hand, gently held Ying Chang's slender hand, and with a little force, pulled her to sit beside him.

Seeing Ying Chang looking a little shy and timid, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but frown.

She seemed to feel that she didn't quite recognize her father in front of her.

Ever since I was born, my father always seemed to be very cautious and self-restrained in front of me.

He always avoided such intimate actions with concubines in front of her, but now, he completely ignored them and even acted so intimate with Tong Yingchang in front of her as if no one was around.

Finally, she felt a little sad and her heart was full of doubts.

The Emperor of Great Chu was simply praising Lu Xingwan's riding and archery memory, and also praising his mother at the same time.

But every time she looked at her father's arrogant look, she felt uncomfortable.

When she was in the world of immortal cultivation in the past, even her master and forefathers were not so condescending when communicating with them in daily life.

Besides, my father would never be like this before.

Only then did she have to admit that her father had really changed.

The previous words really came true.

A good person, if you say he is bad, suddenly becomes bad.

Lu Xingwan subconsciously took two steps back, distanced himself from his father in front of him, and stopped him from touching his hand.

The Great Chu Emperor's hand stopped awkwardly and he looked at Ying Changzai standing beside him.

"Now that the child is older, he has his own ideas. I really shouldn't control him too much."

Ying Changzai agreed with a smile, and Lu Xingwan did not stay in Longsheng Palace for too long.

He exchanged a few polite words with his father with a sullen face, then asked to leave.

Ying Chang looked at the princess's departing back with some embarrassment, then looked at His Majesty in front of her, and ultimately said nothing.

She just stepped forward and pressed His Majesty's shoulders, as if she was afraid that His Majesty would get angry.

But His Majesty did not show the slightest anger towards Princess Yong'an's behavior.

Yingchang felt for a moment that she seemed to be unable to understand His Majesty.

I also don’t quite understand Princess Yong’an.

The way this father and daughter get along is really unsettling.

Just now she always felt that there was a sharp blade hanging between the princess and His Majesty, and that the blade might fall at any time, and once it fell, she would be the one to be injured.

But perhaps because of Ji Rong, even though Ying Changzai has thought it through and decided to fight for favor, she is still more concerned about Princess Yongan in her heart.

Fortunately, Concubine Ying arrived in time and managed to "escape" from Longsheng Palace in time.

She followed Princess Yong'an's footsteps all the way.

Ying Chang searched all the way and finally found Princess Yong An in a corner of the garden.

Princess Yong'an was seen swinging on a slightly old swing, the rope of which was already a little worn.

Ying Chang was staring at the swing, somewhat absent-minded.

She remembered this swing. His Majesty had said that this swing belonged exclusively to Princess Yong'an.

This was specially tattooed in this garden by the Imperial Consort when Princess Yong'an was a child.

His Majesty at that time felt so sorry for Princess Yong'an.

But she had seen His Majesty today, and he was truly indifferent.

Ying Chang had mixed feelings in her heart. She approached Princess Yong'an slowly, fearing that she would disturb her peace.

Lu Xingwan naturally noticed Ying Chang's presence, but she did not move at all, and her mind was still empty.

She didn't think about what her father had just done, but she didn't know what was on her mind.

Her father was so cold to her. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad.

And at this time, Ying Chang finally bowed solemnly in the direction of Princess Yong'an.

When he spoke, he also said with a little apology: "Please don't blame me, Princess. You are right. I always have to consider myself and my family."

Perhaps because she felt a little guilty towards the princess, her voice trembled a little.

Lu Xingwan originally thought that Ying Chang was following her just to comfort her.

But I didn't expect that she would apologize to me.

Thinking of this, she looked at her with clear eyes: "Mr. Ying is here, I won't blame you."

"Father is the emperor, so he must have three palaces and six courtyards. Besides, when I first mentioned this to you, it was not to test you. Now that you have made a choice, it is the best."

For a moment, the two of them looked at each other in silence, and they didn't know what to say to each other.

Seeing the princess looking somewhat lonely, Ying Chang felt a little distressed. After hesitating for a moment, she finally broke the peace.

She just sat sideways on the stone beside the princess, as if she wanted to talk to her.

Lu Xingwan noticed her actions, and out of respect for her, he stopped what he was doing and just sat quietly on the swing, looking at her.

"Princess, I don't want you to be suspicious of me, so I hope to have the opportunity to tell you about this."

She naturally told Lu Xingwan about how that person had saved her from danger when she was threatened by someone when she was a child.

"That man looks exactly like the princess's senior brother, so I don't really admire the princess's senior brother, but I am actually more grateful for him saving my life."

If it were in the past, she did have other thoughts about him.

But now that she has served His Majesty, she has decided that she is not worthy of that man.

So she has quietly buried this thought deep in her heart. If she has the chance to repay the life-saving grace in this lifetime, it would be the best.

Seeing Yingchang being so frank, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but laugh.

Now, Chang Ying seemed to be ready to tear out her heart and put it in front of me. How could I not believe her?

But she had a smile on her face: "Ying Changzai is a person who knows how to repay kindness, but that person saved you, so she doesn't necessarily ask you to repay her."

"Besides, so much time has passed, and that person is much older than you. He may not still be waiting for you there."
