Chapter 143 (1/2)
”If I went to see her, she thought I wouldn't let her go,” the emperor touched the dust on his hand from the plaque. ”Chu Lingyun really has the same temperament as her mother imperial concubine. She adds a bit of evil spirit to her mother imperial concubine.”
The old eunuch smiled and said, ”Huang SA is very sad. Since he misses the princess, don't let the princess go.”
”The words have been spoken, and the envoys of the state of Qi can't go back empty handed,” the emperor's eyes darkened. ”Besides, I haven't made it clear about Prince Chen.”
”But if the princess is indeed the emperor's child, don't you blame Mrs. Heyi and the princess?” the old eunuch said earnestly. ”Emperor. I believe that Mrs. Heyi will not do such a dirty thing in the back palace.”
The emperor was slightly stunned and immediately said, ”there can be no doubt about the royal blood. I can't let Princess Poyang become a joke of the Qin Dynasty.”
The old eunuch didn't dare to say anything more when he saw the emperor's face was blue.
”Forget it, it's too late at night. Go back to Jieyu palace.” the emperor brushed his sleeve. ”I won't come here after tomorrow.”
Chu Lingyun slept soundly this night until Xiang He came in with hot water. Only then did she raise her upper body from the bed and lazily open her eyes.
”It's a fine day today.” Xiang He poured some petals into the water. ”Princess, get up and change your clothes.”
Chu Lingyun looked at the light penetrating the window paper. He smiled and said, ”what's the hurry? Our civet cat hasn't come yet.”
”Miss Zhao should come soon.” Xiang He handed her a towel. ”The princess should hide later. She was found.”
”Don't worry, I still have this ability.”
Between the two. A little maidservant hurried in from the, panting and saying, ”princess, the emperor is coming.”
Chu Lingyun was stunned and flustered: ”didn't the emperor rest in Jieyu Palace last night? What are you doing here?”
Xiang he winked at the little maid, told her to hurry down, and then whispered to Chu Lingyun, ”the emperor should have come to send you.”
Chu Lingyun frowned, bit his lips and said, ”he didn't make a sound a few days ago. What are you doing here these days? Do some fake gestures.”
Xiang he pulled her out of bed and hurriedly advised, ”you'd better clean up quickly and go to see the emperor.”
Chu Lingyun reluctantly changed her clothes and walked slowly to the palace. Sure enough, she saw the emperor sitting alone at the table, looking into the distance and wondering what she was thinking.
Chu Lingyun pouted, saluted and said, ”my son, I'll see the emperor.”
The emperor's thoughts were brought back and looked at her faintly, ”how did you get up?”
”I... I was a little tired last night,” Chu Lingyun scratched his head. ”Why did my father come so early?”
”I don't know what happened today. I woke up very early and went to your palace. I didn't expect you were still lying in bed,” the emperor coughed gently. ”You haven't tried that wedding dress yet?”
”I'll go later,” Chu Lingyun lowered his eyelids. ”I've tried the wedding dress, and it's OK.”
”Well,” the emperor took back his eyes from her, ”let your maid step down first. I have something to tell you.”
Chu Lingyun feels strange. He raises his chin and asks Xiang He to go back to his room first.
”How did my father come to me when I was about to get married,” Chu Lingyun said with a bitter smile. ”I thought my father would never see me again.”
”You are my princess after all. I can't ignore you.”
Chu Lingyun looked at him deeply, smiled and said, ”did the emperor go to the luanfeng Palace last night?”
The emperor's eyes were covered with frost, ”how do you know?”
Chu Lingyun said with a smile, ”my father will find me only after he meets something related to Mrs. Heyi.”
”Did you see Zhao Qingyao yesterday?”
Chu Lingyun was stiff and admitted, ”I went to see you. I want her to send me today.”
”Send you?” the emperor raised a sneer. ”I remember when your mother married, I invited a little cousin to enter the palace on her behalf. However, the people I sent found out and tied a sedan chair and brought it back.”
Chu Lingyun opened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
”So I say you are more like your mother imperial concubine than Duan Wang,” the emperor took the Buddha beads off his wrist, ”Prince Chen Ran with her and was stopped by the bodyguard before he left the city. How far do you think you can run?”
Chu Lingyun held on to his expression and didn't let himself leak a trace, ”what's the emperor talking about? I didn't think about running away.”
”You know it in your heart, but don't expect Zhao Qingyao to come. I let her go home last night,” the emperor smiled. ”Do you know who Zhao Jieyu's mother, Mrs. Zhao, is, the little cousin who failed to enter the palace with Mrs. Heyi in that time.”
