"Leave? Why leave? ”

Chu Xingyue was instead stopped by his question, and after thinking for a while, seeing that he really didn't understand, he could only explain to him hard, "I am a member of the Tianding clan, and I and my clan are both alien beings; A hundred years ago, the royal family of the four kingdoms slaughtered the Tianding clan at the same time, you should know about this matter; If my identity is revealed one day, it will not be a good thing for you. ”

"Is it just because of that you're leaving?"

Chu Xingyue sensed that something was not quite right with Zhao Ling, "Zhao Ling, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you understand my explanation? I ......"

"Of course this king understands it, and even understands what you didn't say, Chu Bingyue, you don't believe this king."

Where does this begin?

Chu Xingyue looked at him with slightly panicked eyes, opened her mouth and said a lot of words in her throat, but she didn't know what to say to him.

It's just that she didn't say anything, but Zhao Ling grabbed her hand and said, "In your eyes, is this king the kind of unscrupulous person who abandons his wife and ignores him?" ”

Hearing his words, Chu Xingyue reacted, the brain circuit of this kid is so long, he actually thought of this.

Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue intently and said, "If you don't hide this king, that king won't hide you either; Yue'er, in fact, about your identity, this king has known for a long time. ”

"What? What does it mean to know early in the morning? ”

Zhao Ling stroked Chu Xingyue's slightly pale face, helped her to lean on the cushion behind her, and said to her carefully, "Do you remember what happened when you were in the Hunting Palace?" Your three arrows in a hundred shots not only shocked the others present, but also shocked the king; From that time, this king guessed that you might be a member of the Tianding clan, but he didn't expect that you would be the future patriarch of the Tianding clan. ”

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe what he said just now, but she knew Zhao Ling's character, if it wasn't true, he wouldn't talk nonsense; It seems that he really knew it early on.

It's just that since he already knew, why didn't he say it? Isn't he afraid?

As if seeing Chu Xingyue's doubts, Zhao Ling continued: "This king only knows that you are the princess of this king and my Zhao Ling's wife. Since you have entered the gate of my Lingwang Mansion, you are the mistress of my Lingwang Mansion, and it is the responsibility of this king to protect you and love you. If he abandons you after knowing your identity, then what face will the king have to stand between heaven and earth? ”

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling like this with emotion, although she knew that he liked her, but she didn't expect that he would take her under his wing early, even in the face of her complicated identity, he would not flinch.

It's just that thinking of Concubine Yang, Chu Xingyue was still a little uneasy, looked at him with self-reproach in her eyes, and said, "Don't you blame me?" If it weren't for me, Concubine Yang might not have lost her life at such a young age, and you wouldn't have grown up alone. ”

"My silly Yue'er, what does it matter to you about the death of the concubine?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ling let go of Chu Xingyue's hand, slowly stepped down, stood in front of Chu Xingyue, looked at her and said, "Although this king is heartbroken about the real cause of death of his mother back then, he is not so confused that he can't figure out who is the culprit who killed his mother and who is the real enemy of this king. The mother concubine is a kind-hearted person, she wants to protect the people she wants to protect, how can this king, as her son, blame others indiscriminately? In the final analysis, if it weren't for the Jiang family and Zhuo Lang, would the mother concubine choose to end her life in such a tragic way? Therefore, the enemy who really needs to be remembered by this king is the Jiang family, it is Zhuo Lang, and it has nothing to do with you and Yuan Feng. ”

Although he had always known that Zhao Ling was a man with a furrow in his chest, but hearing him say this today, Chu Xingyue was not only moved but also grateful.

She knew very well that if Zhao Ling didn't have her in his heart, how could he say such a thing.

After all, Concubine Yang's death was indeed to protect the Tianding clan, and even if ordinary people could not complain, they could not be angry; However, Zhao Ling tolerated all this, and even said such comforting words to her heart.

It is really the greatest blessing in her life that she can get such a son.

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue stretched out her hand to Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling saw her movements, and hurriedly walked up and sat on the edge of the bed, gently hugged her and protected her in her arms, with a gentle look flowing in her eyes.

Chu Xingyue leaned on his shoulder, listened to his heartbeat close to his ear, and said, "Zhao Ling, thank you, not only for Yuan Feng, but also for myself." Back then, Concubine Yang gave her entire life to protect Yuan Feng and the Tianding family, and now, now that I know the whole truth of that year, I naturally won't sit idly by. It is reasonable for me to avenge her. ”

Zhao Ling knew that Chu Xingyue, who had always had a clear love and hate, would say this, and his soft eyes immediately rose to a murderous look, "Yes, this king naturally has no reason to let go of the Jiang family." ”

At the mention of the Jiang family, Chu Xingyue hurriedly sat up and looked at him, "Do you remember that Wuchen said just now that the reason why the Jiang family hates you so much is that in addition to being Zhao Xuan's biggest opponent in the battle for the prince, there is also because your biological mother is Concubine Yang." ”

"That's true, although Wuchen didn't say it explicitly, but this king has guessed it somewhat."

Chu Xingyue nodded and continued, "But, don't you think it's strange? Even if Concubine Yang gave birth to a prince and was included in the harem, it would be impossible for the Jiang family to be so hated, in this, could there be other reasons? ”

"The status of the mother concubine is humble, whether it is in the previous dynasty or in the harem, she has no one to rely on, maybe it is because the Jiang family looks down on her, and she can get pregnant and give birth to a child, but the Jiang family is the queen who has no son and a daughter for a long time, and she is jealous in her heart, so she hates the mother concubine so much, and hates the king born by the mother concubine?!"

Although Chu Xingyue felt that this reason was quite valid, with her understanding and understanding of the Jiang family, the Jiang family would not hate Concubine Shangyang because of these two things; After all, in the harem, there are so many concubines who have given birth to the emperor's heir, if the Jiang family is for this reason, then she should be jealous; It doesn't make sense, just looking at Zhao Ling alone is not pleasing to the eye.

Chu Xingyue thought of what she had doubted, and said to Zhao Ling again: "Do you remember that I once told you that my father's attitude towards you is very different. ”

Zhao Ling immediately thought of what Chu Xingyue had said to her, and immediately snorted, subconsciously denied it, and said excitedly, "No, this is impossible. ”

"What's impossible?"

Chu Xingyue looked into the distance, with a shrewd and intelligent glow in her transparent eyes, "My father has a total of nine sons, and the emperor's eldest son, Zhao Xuan, was adopted by the Jiang family under his name, so he reluctantly stood on the identity of the eldest son; Just for his identity, whether it is in the court or in other places, he will have a group of supporters, and naturally the treatment he has received from childhood to adulthood is not the same as that of you ordinary princes. ”

"But, if you think about it, apart from not being the eldest son, you are treated equally from your father; Zhao Xuan has been on the battlefield as a prince, and you have also been to the battlefield, and even in the end, your achievements are even higher than his; If he can enter the court, you can also enter the court and hold a lot of power; Everyone thinks that you don't have the protection of your biological mother, and you don't have the strong family support of your mother's family, and everything you get now is earned by yourself; It is true that all this is earned by your hard work, but if it is not fulfilled by your father, do you think you can do it? If your father really doesn't like you, how could he quietly support you when Zhao Xuan was in full swing? ”

"Therefore, I have a deep suspicion of the intentions of my father, and, moreover, there is a bold assumption; is in the heart of the father, there has always been the position of the mother concubine, and it is not light; Therefore, he will be extra attentive to your son, and will set aside a special courtyard for his mother in the hunting palace of Luli Mountain. Zhao Ling, you have lived in the concubine's courtyard since you were a child, although the courtyard is in the corner of the hunting palace, everything in the courtyard is so luxurious and exquisite. How can a woman who can enjoy such treatment be an unfavored woman? What about the concubine who is not loved by the Son of Heaven? ”

Zhao Ling was extremely smart, and when he heard Chu Xingyue say this, he finally understood the meaning of Chu Xingyue's words.

"You mean, the reason why the Jiang family hates this king so much is not because the princess is from a bad background, she doesn't look down on it; Rather, the mother concubine is the favorite woman in her father's heart, she is jealous, she is envious, so she will be angry with this king? ”

Chu Xingyue nodded, she deeply felt that this reason was valid.

Even if Jiang is in charge of power, she is just an ordinary woman, and since she is a woman, she will long to be loved and cherished by her husband.

It's a pity that Emperor Showa loved someone else; How can Jiang, who has always been ruthless and full of frames, endure this? How to Balance Mindfully?

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling with a complicated mood, and sure enough, he also showed a look of surprise, but there was no excitement on his face just now.

Come to think of it, when everything may gradually become logical, no matter how many reasons you find to deny it, you can't reject the facts.

"This king never knew, or even dared to think that in his father's heart, there would be a little place for this king; After all, since I was a child, he has never given me a good look; He looks down on the big brother and loves the old nine and seven, and even the other princes who have a wooden personality, clumsy and talentless, get more praise from their father than this king. This king grew up with the white eyes and indifference of others since he was a child, and what he heard the most was how lowly his biological mother was, and how much his father disliked our mother and son. ”

Chu Xingyue grabbed Zhao Ling's hand and comforted him: "The harem is the Jiang family's world, and those gossips may have been deliberately spread by her." Zhao Ling, Jiang is extremely good at conspiracy, we must not fall for her, let the heart that really cares about you be clouded with dust. ”
