Chapter 239 Caught in the act
Chi Zhuorui smiled playfully: "I'm not planning to go back."
He is not a child of the Chi family. Now that the war is over, it is time for the regent to succeed to the throne.
He is no longer useful as the nominal crown prince.
He planned to stay here for the rest of his life, waiting for the day when he could gallop across the battlefield and defeat the Western Rong.
Li Chengrui was almost shocked: "You are the prince, why don't you go back?"
"I am no longer the crown prince. The crown prince of Dongxi is dead. My name is Cheng Rui now."
He chuckled and thought his name was very nice.
The emperor had told him many years ago that his biological father's surname was Cheng.
Now that it has been changed to Cheng, it can be regarded as a return to one's roots.
"Aren't you kidding me?"
"My Lord, you don't care?"
Chi Ming did not answer Li Chengrui's words, but looked at Chi Zhuorui seriously: "Have you thought it through?"
“Well, this is what I like.”
"Can."
Chi Zhuorui was as happy as a child: "You agree? Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"but..."
Cheng Rui's smile faded, and he felt uneasy: "But what?"
"Your cause of death is not good. Our troops were almost unscathed. Who would believe you when you said you died in the northwest?"
Cheng Rui thought so too. If he said that he died in battle, then the people would definitely speculate that he was killed by the regent.
In order to seize the throne, he killed the only prince.
"What should we do then?"
Chi Ming strode out of the tent: "Think about it yourself."
This is all my brother's fault, let them go on their own.
Anyway, he didn't want to be the emperor.
Cheng Rui patted his head and was about to cry: "I can't think of it."
Li Chengrui was about to cry: "What should I do after I return to Beijing?"
The two people, who wanted to cry but had no tears, hugged each other and cried bitterly.
......
Chi Ming first went to quell the rebellion, and then fought in the southwestern and northwestern borders. Running back and forth took him almost three months.
The closer he got to the capital, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Shufeng, do you feel anything unusual?"
A gust of cold wind blew, and Shufeng shuddered: "It's a bit cold."
"Yeah, it's almost April and it's still so cold."
"Your Majesty, what are you saying?"
"The Year Without a Summer."
I knew it before the wind blew. It's so cold, the crops won't grow well.
What do people across the country eat?
"Is this also why the prince is withdrawing his troops?"
Chi Ming looked up at the gloomy sky:
"I wonder how the sweet potato seedlings are doing in Qinghuan?"
He rode back to the capital at full speed, and the first thing he did was to go to the farm where Bai Qinghuan was.
When Bai Qinghuan came back from the greenhouse, she saw the man lying on her bed.
To be honest, she missed him a lot after not seeing him for a while.
Thinking he was asleep, she tiptoed over.
But as soon as he reached the bed, Chi Ming pulled him and made him lie on top of him.
"You didn't sleep?"
Chi Ming smelled the familiar scent of crabapple and whispered hoarsely in Bai Qinghuan's ear:
"Qing Huan, I miss you."
"What about you? Did you miss me?"
Bai Qinghuan looked at his face carefully. He was darker and thinner, and his fatigue could not be hidden.
"Of course I miss you."
"Really? Let me see how much I miss you."
He turned over and pressed Bai Qinghuan down. The moment their lips touched, his longing for her was as fierce as a hungry wolf out of a cage and he could no longer control it.
Just when the two were immersed in their love, they were interrupted by a scream.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Qinghuan recognized her mother's voice and turned her head away in shame, not wanting her mother to see her like this.
Chi Ming raised his head in dissatisfaction, only to find that it was Lu Wanning. A hint of shyness flashed across his face, and he coughed uncomfortably.
He stood up calmly, straightened his outer robe.
"Meet the Madam!"
Lu Wanning also came to her senses from her shock: "You...you...you are the regent?"
Oh my god!
The Regent is kissing Qing Huan?
Let God send down a thunder to kill her!
When did they start this thing?
"Why is the Regent here?"
"I'm here to find Qing Huan."
"You...you guys..."
Lu Wan's chest was heaving so violently from the concentrated energy that she couldn't speak.
Say you have no shame?
That's my own daughter.
Hearing her shout, Zhenzhu Biyun and the others rushed in.
Just now the girl asked them to go do something and they didn't come back. What happened?
When they saw the prince, Biyun, Ziyan and the others' eyes widened.
When did the Regent return?
He was caught red-handed by his wife.
The girl's hairpin is crooked. What happened just now?
Something must have happened, otherwise the lady wouldn't be so angry!
They didn't dare to speak, but just rolled their eyes.
Lu Wanning was even more furious, gritting her teeth and said, "You all know?"
Biyun Ziyan lowered her head and pretended to be dead.
"Okay, okay...you all know everything, but you're just hiding it from me, right?"
"Bai Qinghuan, come out here."
Bai Qinghuan stood up and followed him out obediently.
Chi Ming was not the kind of person who would hide behind a woman, so he went there too.
In the yard, Chi Ming held Bai Qinghuan's hand and half of his body blocked her.
"Madam, calm down. It's my fault. Don't blame Qing Huan."
"When did you start?"
Chi Ming recalled, when was it?
At the plum blossom viewing banquet at the Princess's Mansion, he noticed this extremely beautiful girl at first sight.
Then she was drugged and broke into his room.
After that she broke off the engagement and cooked for him...
In an instant, I thought about everything that had happened since I met Bai Qinghuan.
If you don't think about it, you don't know. Once you think about it, all the past events will come to your mind and the details will be so clear.
He will always remember Qinghuan's bright eyes when she set off fireworks on his birthday.
That was his sunshine, shining directly into his heart and could never be pulled out.
"I don't know where the love comes from, but it is deep and lasting."
"you..."
Lu Wanning didn't know what to say.
Bai Qinghuan grabbed Lu Wanning's sleeve and shook it back and forth: "Mom, I like him too, don't be angry."
It's so embarrassing to be caught.
They all blamed Chi Ming and glanced at him unhappily.
The look was so charming that Chi Ming felt a warm current running through his body.
If Lu Wanning hadn't been there, he would have tied her to the bed immediately.
Lu Wanning's eyes wandered between the two of them. She knew Qinghuan's beauty.
No man can bear this seductive look.
But it can also be seen that Qinghuan really likes him.
"Do you really like it? You're not forced?"
Although Bai Qinghuan blushed, she still said, "No, it was my daughter who took the initiative first."
He also looked seriously into Lu Wanning's eyes. If he hadn't taken the initiative, breaking off the engagement with Chi Zhuoxu wouldn't have been so smooth.
"Mom, Chi Ming has helped me a lot, and I really like him."
Lu Wanning understood and felt complicated.
Presumably, Bai Changhao's dismissal from office was inseparable from the help of the Regent.
It turns out that her daughter's life is so hard. If she takes the initiative, isn't that just seeking a backer and being humble?
It's her incompetence.
From now on, she didn't want her daughter to suffer any more.
Standing in front of Bai Qinghuan, facing Chi Ming, he was not afraid of his power at all.
"Unmarried couples are not tolerated by the world. I think Your Majesty knows this, right?"
