It shouldn’t be like this!!!

There was a voice roaring in Chu Qianhuang's mind.

She felt as if there was a small fire slowly burning inside her body, and as if her heart had been hollowed out. She felt empty inside, a little panicky, a little confused, a little unwilling, and a little uneasy.

This feeling is so uncomfortable!

If the "opportunity" was in Da Qi, then why had she gone to such great lengths to plan to go to Nan Hao? ! A suffocating feeling came over Chu Qianhuang, making her a little breathless.

She couldn't help but raise her hands and tightly grasp the fabric on her chest.

On the other side, Concubine Chu came out from the side room and saw Chu Qianhuang sitting by the window at a glance. A faint light flashed in her pupils, flickering.

Concubine Chu stared at Chu Qianhuang deeply for a moment, walked towards her slowly, and asked with concern: "Sister Huang, are you okay?" Her attitude was very friendly.

"..." Chu Qianhuang suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes, which had been a little dazed, focused again, as if waking up from a dream, and her gaze fell on the pale and haggard face of Concubine Chu.

In just three short days, Concubine Chu had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying for the late emperor. She was dressed very simply, with her whole body in frosty white, including the embroidered shoes under her skirt.

"Aunt, will Prince Chen ascend the throne?" Chu Qianhuang asked instead of answering, with a complicated tone.

She was a butterfly that did not belong to this world. Just by gently flapping her wings, she would have an influence on everyone she came into contact with, even those she came into contact with indirectly, which she could not control.

Her time travel has caused the direction of this world to deviate from the original plot step by step. Now, the situation has completely deviated from the original track! Chu Qianhuang's face showed a dazed look.

Concubine Chu's eyes were deep. She sat down next to Chu Qianhuang and whispered in her ear, "Prince Chen is just a traitor. Even if the late emperor is dead, the successor should be the second prince!"

When she said the words "traitor", a soldier of the Black Armor Army guarding the courtyard outside glanced at her quickly.

In the past three days, Concubine Chu couldn't sleep at night and had been thinking about it over and over in her mind many times.

Throughout history, there have been many military generals and princes who held military power and led their armies to force the emperor to abdicate. The winners were kings and the losers were bandits. Not to mention those who failed, there were only two possible outcomes for the successful ones. One was to ascend the throne like the new emperor Uhadula of Nanhao, and the other was to become regent and support someone to ascend the throne.

If it was the former, the abdicator would certainly massacre the palace like Uhaduro did and kill all the descendants of the previous emperor. It is said that at least 300,000 people died in the capital of Nanhao in that abdication.

Judging from the current situation in the capital, Gu Jue did not massacre the palace, nor did he attack the empress, concubines, princes and princesses. He even ordered the Ministry of Rites to arrange a normal funeral for the late emperor... All this is different from what Uhaduro did.

Therefore, Gu Jue should be the latter. He will not ascend the throne himself, but will support a prince to ascend the throne.

Boom boom! Thinking of this, Concubine Chu's heartbeat quickened, her blood boiled, and her fatigue was swept away.

She often saw the queen these days. The queen looked very haggard and absent-minded, and ignored everyone.

Seeing the Queen's expression, Concubine Chu knew that the Prince was about to die.

Even if the prince was lucky enough not to die, Gu Jue would not be able to support the prince to ascend the throne. Once the prince ascended the throne, all the ministers would submit to him, and then Gu Jue's own position would be embarrassing.

Therefore, Gu Jue should choose one of the other princes and support him as the heir to the emperor. From this perspective, the second prince has a great chance of standing out from the other princes.

After realizing this, Concubine Chu felt much more at ease, and she managed to fall asleep for an hour or two in the second half of last night.

The second prince will ascend the throne?! Chu Qianhuang widened her eyes in disbelief, her mouth opening and closing.

This was not the answer she expected.

She should have congratulated Concubine Chu, but she couldn't say a word, her mind was in a mess. Everything that happened in the past few days was beyond her expectations, and she didn't know what to do next.

Concubine Chu raised her hand and gently patted Chu Qianhuang's shoulder, and softened her voice to comfort her: "Sister Huang, you are not from the harem. Auntie believes that Prince Chen's people should let you leave the palace and go home soon."

"When the time comes, find a way to meet your mother." When saying this, Concubine Chu's voice became even lower, as low as a mosquito's hum.

Chu Qianhuang: “?”

Chu Qianhuang looked at Concubine Chu in confusion, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth until her lips turned white.

It has been almost three months since she left the capital with Prince Andaman and his entourage in the first month of the year, and she has not seen Shen Zhi again...

Concubine Chu took one of Chu Qianhuang's hands and held it gently, and said, "Sister Huang, the only one who can persuade your second sister is your mother."

"Go tell your mother that your second sister married the Prince of Chen because the late emperor granted her an order. They have been married for more than half a year now, but your second sister still has no 'good news' and no children..."

"Think about it, Prince Chen is now in power. Once he supports a prince to ascend the throne, he will surely be the regent, second only to the emperor and above everyone else."

"Is your second sister worthy of the position of Regent Princess?"

As she spoke, a sharp gleam flashed across Concubine Chu's eyes.

If a woman wants to gain a foothold in her husband's family, she must first get support from her own family.

Now the title of the Chu family is in jeopardy. When Gu Jue takes the position of regent, a regent princess like Shen Qianchen with such an awkward status will be his shame! "..." Chu Qianhuang looked dazed and a little lost. She seemed to be listening, but also seemed not to be listening.

When Concubine Chu saw that Chu Qianhuang had not responded, she felt annoyed: her eldest niece used to be a smart person who understood things quickly, but why did she seem a little dull today?

But now Imperial Concubine Chu is trapped in the deep palace, she is isolated and helpless, with no one to turn to. In the past two days, she has not even found a chance to speak to the Second Prince in private.

Concubine Chu tried hard to suppress her temper and patiently said, "Tell your mother to go to Prince Chen's mansion to find your second sister and ask her to persuade Prince Chen to choose the second prince."

"Your mother is a smart person, she will understand. Your second sister always listens to your mother, and she will figure it out. The second prince has half Chu blood in his body. Only if he ascends the throne will it be the best for your second sister and your fourth brother!"

Concubine Chu's words were also telling Chu Qianhuang that if the second prince ascended the throne, her status as a daughter of the Chu family would rise. Even the things Chu Lingxiao had done before were no big deal.

However, Chu Qianhuang still didn't say anything, and bit her lower lip even tighter with her pearly teeth.

Concubine Chu clenched her handkerchief and struck while the iron was hot: "Sister Huang, you and the Second Prince grew up together, and the Second Prince always praised you for your kindness and kindness in front of me."

"If you are willing, I can make the decision and let the Second Prince marry you as his principal wife. You can ascend to the throne in the future."

Concubine Chu looked at Chu Qianhuang with a loving smile and eager eyes.

"I..." Chu Qianhuang's thoughts became more and more confused. She never expected Concubine Chu to make such a suggestion.

Concubine Chu thought Chu Qianhuang was shy. After all, which girl wouldn't be shy when talking about her marriage?

She curled her plump lips and gave a meaningful smile, "Sister Huang, I have watched you grow up. You have been outstanding in everything since you were young, far more outstanding than your second sister. Even the Queen chose you to be the third princess's study companion. There are so many noble ladies in the capital who are known as talented women, but how many of them can have such a blessing."

"Think about it carefully. Do you want to be suppressed by your second sister for the rest of your life? Do you want to keep looking up to her? Do you want to bend your knees to her when you see her in the future?"

Concubine Chu asked a series of questions, each of which hit Chu Qianhuang's sore spot.

She didn't want to, of course she didn't want to! As early as when she just crossed over, she thought carefully about the original owner's situation.

The original owner was so pitiful. She was innocent. She had done nothing, but in the end she became the victim of the whole thing.

She wanted to avenge the original owner, and she wanted everyone to see that the original owner was not the one who was wrong.

Even though she was a concubine's daughter, she could still reach a height that they would look up to her. But now, all her plans had failed and she was in an awkward position; while Shen Qianchen's situation was even better than in the dream!

She fell into the dust; Shen Qianchen rose to the top.

She was unwilling to bow to Shen Qianchen!

But--

"It's useless." Chu Qianhuang murmured.

Although she was in a state of confusion, she still retained some rationality.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Chu Qianhuang also had some understanding of her aunt, the Imperial Concubine. Imperial Concubine Chu could be said to be a person who puts profit above all else. In her heart, there was only herself and the Second Prince.

Therefore, when the Crown Prince's position was stable in the past, she followed the lead of the Empress and the Crown Prince in everything; later, when the Crown Prince was disliked by the late Emperor, Concubine Chu began to instigate the Second Prince to fight for the throne; and last year, when Chu Lingxiao was imprisoned and stripped of his title, Concubine Chu did nothing about it, and it was only Chu Yunyi who protected the Emperor with his own body that the Chu family's title was preserved...

From this, it can be seen that Concubine Chu is also very cold towards the Chu family. Now she speaks so nicely and even promises me the position of the Second Prince's principal wife, just wanting to use me.

Concubine Chu must have known that even if Gu Jue did not ascend the throne for the sake of his reputation and wanted to be the powerful regent, he should still support a baby, such as the three-year-old Sixth Prince.

The Second Prince is already an adult. Gu Jue would be a fool to abandon the Sixth Prince and support the Second Prince! "You haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work?" Concubine Chu was a little anxious. She raised her voice slightly and held Chu Qianhuang's left hand between her hands.

"She...mother won't listen." Chu Qianhuang couldn't help but think of Shen Zhi's last look at her, so disappointed, so cold, so disgusted...

It was no use for her to go look for Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi is now extremely fed up with her and will not listen to her. Even if she really goes to find Shen Zhi, she will only bring shame upon herself.

Concubine Chu frowned her beautifully shaped eyebrows. She wanted to say something, but she saw Chu Qianhuang shaking her head tiredly and said, "She won't listen to me. She doesn't even have time to get tired of me."

Chu Qianhuang's voice was hoarse and weak, as if she had suffered a serious illness.

"Sister Huang!" Concubine Chu held Chu Qianhuang's hand tighter, "Your mother will listen to you..."

She looked around carefully and made sure that there was no one at the window. There were only two soldiers of the Black Armor Army guarding under the paulownia tree in the courtyard, and there were no other palace servants nearby.

She stared into Chu Qianhuang's dark pupils and said slowly: "You are your mother's biological daughter."

Chu Qianhuang: “!!!”

At this moment, Chu Qianhuang's eyes widened to the extreme, and he blurted out: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible."

She was very emotional, as if a force was tearing her apart from within. She stood up suddenly and bumped into the chair behind her with a clattering sound.

She was so excited that the noise she made was very loud. The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of others. The two Black Armor Army soldiers guarding the courtyard looked over here.

Concubine Chu was annoyed that Chu Qianhuang was too impulsive, so she quickly grabbed her hand again and deliberately raised her voice and said, "Sister Huang, let me see, your hand is not burned by the tea, right?"

"Someone, come and give Miss Chu a cup of warm tea!"

While giving orders to the palace maids, Concubine Chu glanced at the two Black Armor Army soldiers outside. She felt relieved when she saw that they had withdrawn their gaze.

She winked at Chu Qianhuang, pulled her back to sit, and pretended to comfort her: "Don't worry, it's okay, there are no blisters, it's just a little red. Does it hurt?"

Chu Qianhuang shook his head in sudden realization.

Concubine Chu added meaningfully, "You are almost a 15-year-old, but you are still like a child, startled all the time."

Concubine Chu carefully looked around again and again, and made sure that no one was paying attention to the movement here, and then she whispered to Chu Qianhuang: "I know about this matter. You are Shen Zhi's biological daughter."

Chu Qianhuang felt a burning sensation in her throat, as if it were on fire, and she couldn't help but shake her head again.

"..." She opened her mouth slightly, but no sound came out. She swallowed her saliva and finally made a sound, "What about Shen Qianchen?"

She had eyes, so she could naturally see that Shen Qianchen's facial features were 30% similar to Shen Zhi's, especially the pair of phoenix eyes which were almost exactly the same.

Concubine Chu smiled and said, "She is also Shen Zhi's daughter."

Chu Qianhuang's pupils suddenly shrank, and a thought popped up in her mind: twins? Concubine Chu leaned close to Chu Qianhuang's ear and whispered, "The Chu family has several pairs of twins in every generation, such as Chu Qianwu and Chu Qianying, such as Hanzhen and Hanyun from the seventh cousin's family... For example, you and Shen Qianchen."

Chu Qianhuang: "..."

Chu Qianhuang sat there blankly, as if struck by lightning, and a voice in her heart was still questioning: How is this possible? !

Concubine Chu said calmly: "You and she are twins."

"We..." Chu Qianhuang wanted to say, they don't look alike, there are no twins who don't look alike at all! But before she could finish her words, she had already rejected them.

wrong.

If you think about it more carefully, it's not that she and Shen Qianchen are completely alike, it's just that the difference is more obvious.

In the past year, Shen Qianchen has grown rapidly and is already an inch taller than her.

Shen Qianchen has an oval face and phoenix eyes, while she has an oval face and willow-shaped eyes.

But their foreheads, lips and ears are very similar.

Because they are sisters, it is normal for them to have some similarities in appearance. That is why she has never thought about it deeply and never thought that she and Shen Qianchen might be fraternal twins. After all, the twins Chu Qianwu and Chu Qianying look almost exactly the same.

But if it is really as Concubine Chu said, then Jiang Minshan and Chu Lingxiao worked together to deceive everyone?

Does the Madam know about this?!

"..." Chu Qianhuang suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill rising from the soles of her feet, which spread throughout her body in an instant like an explosion, and her heart felt numb with cold.
