Two lines of sad tears fell from Chu Xingyue's eyes unconsciously, like boiling hot lava, burning Zhao Ling's heart fiercely, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Although she didn't know why she suddenly became like this, Zhao Ling still hurriedly hugged Chu Xingyue, who was sad and weeping, into his arms.

Softly whispered, carefully comforted, "Fool, why did you suddenly say such a conical word?" You are the princess of this king, and you are my wife, and this king does not care who you do? ”

"Yue'er, this king has never been a person who is good at sweet words, and always thinks that no matter how much you say to make you happy, it is better to do what is good for you in a down-to-earth manner, so many times this king doesn't say anything more to you, but I didn't expect that this king did this to make you so insecure."

"My silly girl, why don't you still understand, no matter what you are, this king is pleased with you, likes you, and willingly cherishes and cherishes you; In the future, don't think about it anymore, let alone say these damning words, you know, hearing you say this, this king is also very sad in his heart. ”

Hearing Zhao Ling say this, the sullenness in Chu Xingyue's heart was a little relieved.

Of course, she knew that she was making trouble unreasonably just now, and she knew how messy she was just now, but as long as she thought of the fate between her and him, there was only this shallow layer, and when she thought that she was not the real Chu Bingyue, she couldn't control her emotions.

She would never forget the indifference he had treated her when she first crossed here, and she was so sad at the thought that maybe one day he would treat her the way he had done before.

Now, hearing him say this, she felt a little more at ease, and her hands clutched his collar tightly, and she asked, "Really?" Really, no matter who I am or what I am, you will not dislike me or abandon me? ”

"Of course, whatever you are or who you are, you are my wife."

Zhao Ling cherished a few gentle kisses on her eyelids, and said, "Yue'er, can you tell this king?" What the hell is wrong with you, why is this all of a sudden? Was it really a nightmare? ”

Chu Xingyue's eyes dodged, she didn't dare to face such a Zhao Ling, of course she knew what a cold person he was, and it was definitely sincere to be able to cherish her like this; How could she tell him those secrets about her at this time? How could she tell him in person that she was not Chu Bingyue at all, but a wisp of soul from the future world?

Chu Xingyue rested her head on his chest and shook it gently like a wronged child, "I'm fine, just like you said, I just had a nightmare, I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore, turned around and left, no matter how I explained, you didn't listen, and only left me alone to cry." ”

Zhao Ling laughed helplessly, "What a fool, how can the things in the dream be taken seriously?" The king thought something had happened to you, and he was shocked. ”

Chu Xingyue raised her head and looked at Zhao Ling, because she had cried, her eyes were exceptionally clear and moving, "Where have you been?" Why didn't I see you when I woke up? ”

Zhao Ling told Chu Xingyue what happened on the execution ground, and finally said, "Although Han Fang has a soft personality, he can be of great use in the future, Yuezhou is adjacent to Jeju, if there is a riot in Yuezhou, Jeju will not be much better; Putting Han Fang here alone will definitely not end well, since this king admires him, there is no reason to watch him encounter danger. ”

"So, you have portrayed yourself in front of the people of Yuezhou City as a ruthless prince who likes to kill people and bloodthirsty, in order to suppress the hearts of those disaster victims who are about to move for Han Fang?" Chu Xingyue said in one word.

Looking at the little woman who knew him well, Zhao Ling reached out and scratched his nose lightly, and said, "There is one sentence that you said is not right, this king is not intentionally shaped, but this king's real character is like this." ”

Zhao Ling said frankly, "This king is different from other princes, he has lived in a rich nest since he was a child, living a life of fine clothes and fine food; This king has lived in the palace since he was a child, because he did not have the protection of his biological mother and father, so the most he saw since he was a child was the warmth of human feelings and all kinds of conspiracies, and later he was sent to the battlefield by his father, in that kind of place, if you don't hold a knife to kill, the person who is killed will be you; There will not be mercy because you are a prince, on the contrary, killing a prince can make you an official and a knight; This king is a man who has come out of the battlefield and blood, and blood and death are not strange to me, but will become an extraordinary means in extraordinary times. ”

Chu Xingyue stretched out her hand distressedly and stroked Zhao Ling's angular handsome face, this man, many people say that he is the man who is most conducive to competing for the position of prince, but who knows how many twists and turns he has experienced along the way, and how many life and death he has encountered.

It is precisely because she knows that he has experienced so much that she sincerely admires him, and even admires the stubbornness and bravery of liking him.

Suddenly, a thought arose in Chu Xingyue's heart, and that thought became stronger and stronger.

"Zhao Ling, don't you think that your father's attitude towards you is very special."

Zhao Ling looked sideways at Chu Xingyue, not understanding what she meant in her words, "What's special?" ”

Chu Xingyue said, "When I was young, I heard a story called the Lion King. The lion is the king of all beasts, but there are countless lion cubs in a lion group, in order to choose a suitable successor from the little lions, the lion leader will push the lion cubs off the cliff, let the lions cubs fight and fight under the cliff, so that they can learn to survive in the bloodshed and battle, and the last lion cub who climbs up from the cliff alive will become the next lion king. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling, "Don't you think that your father's attitude towards you is very similar to that of a lion leader, and you are a little lion who was pushed down the cliff by his own hands." ”

It was the first time Zhao Ling had heard such words, and he saw that he looked at Chu Xingyue with a stunned look, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, I heard him mutter, "My father has nine sons, except for this king, the remaining eight princes are all raised by their biological mothers, and those brothers of this king, any of them are picked out at random and receive more attention than this king when he was young, since this king remembers, some people have told this king, although this king is a prince, but because of his humble status as a biological mother and is disliked, it seems to confirm this sentence, from childhood to adulthood, the father has hugged any of his sons, but he has not hugged this king; Yue'er, you tell this king now, my father is very likely to be doing this on purpose, he is sharpening this king, how do you want this king to believe it? ”

Of course, Chu Xingyue knew that his words were difficult to convince.

According to Zhao Ling's words, it is not difficult to hear that in fact, in his heart, I am afraid that there is still some resentment against Emperor Showa; After all, Zhao Ling's childhood was indeed not satisfactory.

Surviving in a treacherous place like the harem, it's just a matter of not having a biological mother to protect him, and even his biological father is extraordinarily cold to him.

Places like the palace are often high-minded, and when the masters treat him coldly, who else can they pray for to be good to him?

Many times Chu Xingyue wondered how Zhao Ling, who was still a child, survived in the cannibalistic place of the harem, was it really his good luck, or was there other reasons for it?

But, for now, she guessed a possibility.

Seeing Zhao Ling, who had lived alone and lonely since he was a child because of the loss of his parents' love, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but tell him this idea; In vain trying to warm his heart, which has become indifferent because of the lack of family love.

"I know it's hard for you to accept that, but there's a lot of weirdness, isn't it?"

Chu Xingyue carefully informed him of her suspicions, "As you said, my father had nine sons, but among the nine princes, only you and Zhao Xuan were really sent to the battlefield. ”

"There is nothing surprising that Zhao Xuan was put on the battlefield to train, because he is the eldest son of the emperor with a special identity, and more importantly, he is still fostered under the knee of Queen Jiang, and he can also hang the identity of the eldest son, so he is valued and specially cultivated, and no one is surprised; But after Zhao Xuan was sent to Qingzhou, you were also sent to the battlefield immediately after, and this move is worthy of scrutiny. ”

When Zhao Ling heard Chu Xingyue's words, the mockery on his face gradually receded, and instead turned into a solemn one.

"I was born in a military family, and I clearly know the importance of military power to an ambitious person, when Zhao Xuan was sent to Qingzhou to get close to my father, he did not come for the hundreds of thousands of troops in my father's hands; During the peaceful years, the importance of the army would not be discovered, but if you want to succeed, you will never succeed without military power. ”

"Back then, Zhao Xuan had my father by his side, and after you were sent to the battlefield, you were also surrounded by good generals; In the end, Zhao Xuan was ordered to return to Beijing and married Su Yingxue, the granddaughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. ”

"But not long after, you were also transferred back to Beijing and married me as a princess; Although my Chu family is not as wealthy as the Su family, who doesn't know that your King Ling seems to be married to a Qingzhou girl, but in fact, you are not only the daughter of the Chu family, but also the entire Qingzhou and the entire Chu family's army; What about he, Zhao Xuan, who seems to have mastered half of the courtier's heart? You have not lost to him either, for my dowry is hundreds of thousands of good soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue sighed, looked at Zhao Ling's solemn face, and said, "If you think about it carefully, all these things seem to be one coincidence after another, but when they appear for the first time, we can see them as coincidences, but there are more times, is it really a coincidence?" ”

"I always feel that my father is not as simple as it seems on the surface, you can have today, of course, it is inseparable from your hard work and diligence, but if you don't have a pair of hands behind your back to push you silently, are you sure, can you get to this point?"
