In a blink of an eye, it has been nearly half a month since the prince-consort passed away, and the city of Pingjing gradually returned to its former peace in the midst of this great joy and sorrow. Since the prince-consort passed away, Princess Shenyou seemed to have become low-key all of a sudden. Except for entering the palace to pay tribute, almost no one saw Princess Shenyou. People only thought that the princess was sad about the death of the prince-consort, and they did not care too much about it and were tactful and rarely came to disturb her. Chu Ling naturally enjoyed peace and quiet. He only practiced martial arts in the mansion every day and took a rare leisurely life after returning to Pingjing.

"You are the princess, Lord Shangguan is asking for a visit." Outside the door, Jin Xue reported respectfully. Chu Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Mr. Shangguan? Please go to the study to serve tea."

"Yes, princess."

When Chu Ling changed his clothes and walked into the study, Shangguan Chengyi had been drinking tea for a while. When he saw that the beautiful woman in white clothes came in, he breathed a sigh of relief. Young Master Changli was gone, and what Shangguan Chengyi was most afraid of was that Princess Shenyou was also unable to recover. Although Princess Shenyou did not do anything, it would be impossible to estimate the losses in secret. Shangguan Chengyi stood clearly on the side of the emperor and Princess Shenyou, which had already made many powerful families feel dissatisfied. If Princess Shenyou did not do anything, he would not look good if he wanted to change his position.

Now it seems that Princess Shenyou has not reduced much, but she looks thin and cold in white, but her spirit is not bad.

Chu Ling smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Shangguan came to the door in person, I don't know what's going on?"

Shangguan Chengyi looked at Chu Ling and said, "The princess has a spirit in heaven and will not want the princess to be sad every day, so please mourn the princess." Although he didn't know whether the princess was mourning or mourning, the scene still had to be said. Speaking of which, Shangguan Chengyi is really not sure about the relationship between Shenyou Princess and Prince Changli. Is he really deeply in love and willing to marry someone even knowing that the other party's fate is not long, or is it just to get the other party's property?

Chu Ling lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangguan, I understand. Lord, don't worry about me, everything is fine."

"That's good, that's good." Shangguan Chengyi nodded. Chu Ling looked at Shangguan Chengyi and didn't say anything. Shangguan Chengyi immediately understood and told him the reason for his arrival. "The princess has never gone out in the past few days, nor has she entered the palace to meet His Majesty. I wonder how much the princess knows about the things in the court these two days?" Chu Ling shook his head and said, "I have not been mentally conscious in the past few days, but I have never paid attention to these things. What? But what happened?"

Shangguan Chengyi sighed lightly and said, "Of course it's... the matter of the royal heir."

Chu Ling nodded without rushing, and said, "What are the rules of associations do you guys have?" If there were some court officials who were worried that the princess Shenyou was using His Majesty to favor the princess to make a mistake, the hidden danger of the princess was no longer there. Even Shangguan Chengyi, although he regretted that Jun Wuhuan's absence would greatly reduce the strength of Princess Shenyou, he had to admit that he had secretly suspected in his heart. As scholars, most court officials, no matter how intrigue they usually fight for power and profit, they all admit that they are loyal to the king. In other words, the orthodox they recognized can only be the surname Chu. There were not no emperors who were robbed of the country by their son-in-law in history, especially when the emperor only had the princess' bloodline.

Shangguan Chengyi frowned and said, "Some people suggested that the Prince of Boning be the crown prince be the crown prince, and some people also suggested to recall several royal princes from the fiefdom to investigate before making a decision." When he spoke, Shangguan Chengyi looked at Chu Ling's expression carefully. He naturally remembered that the eldest grandson of the Boning Prince's Mansion is still in the princess's mansion.

Chu Ling Youran asked, "What do my father say?"

Shangguan Chengyi said: "Your Majesty has rejected it and discussed it again." In fact, there is nothing to discuss, and there is no other choice. Prince Boning is His Majesty's cousin, and his relationship is close, but Prince Boning is not much younger than His Majesty. Moreover, Prince Boning's legitimate son died and only has a few concubines. Even if Prince Boning can live longer than Emperor Yongjia, the future inheritance of the throne will be a problem. Besides, the only few princes left in the always have a long relationship with Emperor Yongjia, and there are not many descendants. Of course, these can only be regarded as excuses. The real reason is... His Majesty is unhappy.

Chu Ling nodded, "What is the attitude of the ministers in the court?"

Shangguan Chengyi sighed and said, "The Hanlin Academy and the Censorate are already a little anxious. Your Majesty is now... he should have considered it." Although Emperor Yongjia is not old, his health is really not good. If something happens, the country will not be without a king for a day, and those court officials insist on this matter for their own benefit.

Chu Ling said: "Don't worry, sir, I understand. If you enter the Japanese palace in Ming Dynasty, you will persuade your father."

Shangguan Chengyi nodded, "It's good if the princess is willing to advise Your Majesty. So... I think the princess has a constitution in her heart?"

Chu Ling said: "It is true. No matter what... the result of the matter must be accepted by the Emperor of Father to be perfect, right? But... there are some minor problems that need Lord Shangguan to persuade the censor and the Lords of the Hanlin Academy for me."

Shangguan Chengyi was stunned and soon understood what Chu Ling meant, frowned slightly and said, "Xiaoguan heard... that person's health is not very good, the princess is sure..." If the princess really intends to support a young royal heir, there will always be one or two suitable candidates in the royal family. Chu Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, since I suggest this, I will naturally be sure. Unless there is any accident, there will be no problem with his health. This incident... has nothing to do with whether he is good or not, right?"

Shangguan Chengyi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "The old minister understands."

Chu Ling nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "I would like to thank you so much."

After the talk, Chu Ling stood up and took Shangguan Chengyi out. When he walked through the garden, he happened to see Changsheng practicing with Yu Fanzhou. He had just started to enlighten him, but Yu Fanzhou was still idle recently and didn't care about giving advice to the child. Shangguan Chengyi frowned slightly. He still remembered this young man. On the night of Prince Anxin's rebellion, this young man accompanied Princess Shenyou to quell the chaos. However, before that, no one had ever seen this person in the capital or Princess Shenyou. Even Shangguan Chengyi only knew that his surname was Yu and his name was Huazhou. He didn't know whether this name was true or false. Some people told Emperor Yongjia about this. However, Emperor Yongjia seemed to trust Princess Shenyou and Yu Fanzhou very much, and even planned to give Yu Fanzhou a suitable position.

After all, they saved their lives. Since His Majesty and the Princess thought there was no problem, Shangguan Chengyi would not make much trouble.

"Princess please stay." Shangguan Chengyi said.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "You are polite, so I won't give it to you."

Shangguan Chengyi bowed his farewell, hesitated for a moment and stopped again. Seeing that he seemed to have something to ask, Chu Ling waited patiently.

After a while, I heard Shangguan Chengyi say, "I dare to ask the princess...Zhu Jing and the dog son..."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Originally, Mrs. Zhuo planned to leave Pingjing temporarily, but there were too many things in the princess's mansion during this period, so it was delayed. Now Mrs. Zhuo is still in the princess's mansion. As for the second son... I don't worry. I heard that the second son has made a lot of progress recently. If he misses him, I will let him come back and see him." Shangguan Chengyi sighed and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I will know that he will do it well. If he comes back, his grandmother is afraid..."

Chu Ling nodded in understanding and expressed his understanding. The old lady of the Shangguan family has been very calm recently, and I don’t know how much time Mr. Shangguan has spent.

Watching Shangguan Chengyi leave, Chu Ling turned around and walked towards the two people who were practicing on the other side. Changsheng's foundation was too bad, and he couldn't practice anything. He just moved his body and learned some of the most basic things. In short, no one expected him to become a first-class master one day.

"Sister Ling!" Seeing Chu Ling coming, Changsheng immediately shouted happily.

Chu Ling waved to him with a smile, and Changsheng immediately ran to Chu Ling, "Sister Ling." There was no one in the princess's house, and Changsheng always liked to call her sister with Xiao Yan'er. I don't know why he decided that his sister was closer than his aunt.

Yu Fanzhou bowed to Chu Ling, and Chu Ling pulled Changsheng to walk in the garden. Changsheng couldn't help looking at Chu Ling while walking and asked, "Sister Ah Ling, are you in a better mood?"

Chu Ling smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Changsheng said: "Changsheng will also accompany Sister A Ling in the future."

Chu Ling said: "I know, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

Changsheng tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Changsheng wants to become a very powerful person."

Chu Ling was a little puzzled, "How powerful should a very powerful person be?" Changsheng thought for a long time and said, "Just like Sister A Ling and Uncle."

"..." This title is indeed a problem, Chu Ling smiled in her heart, "We are not the most powerful people."

Changsheng blinked, "Who is that most powerful person?"

Chu Ling shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe..."

Before Chu Ling finished speaking, Changsheng said happily: "When Changsheng grows up, you will be the most powerful person. Changsheng needs to protect Sister A Ling!" Chu Ling was stunned, and soon smiled and reached out to pinch his little face and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for Changsheng to protect him. But now, what Changsheng wants in the end is to grow up obediently."

"Well, wait until the growth of the age will grow up before protecting Sister A Ling!"

The news of Mr. Changli's death passed into Shangjing at a flying speed, even faster than Nangong Yuyue and his group. So, when Tuoba Liang received the news, Nangong Yuyue had not returned to the capital yet. Looking at the news just presented, Tuoba Liang, who was sitting in the imperial study, frowned and asked after a long time: "Do you think this news is reliable?"

At this time, the people in the imperial study were all Tuoba Liang's confidants, so they naturally understood His Majesty's hatred for Jun Wuhuan.

Tuoba Mingzhu stood in front and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son-in-law thinks it should be no mistake."

"Oh?" Tuoba Liang looked at Tuoba Mingzhu and frowned slightly, "Why?" Tuoba Mingzhu knew that Tuoba Liang was very dissatisfied with the result of her and Baili Qinghong going to Tianqi this time. She was better. Although Baili Qinghong came back seriously injured, she was also indifferent to her father for several days. She hurriedly said, "Jun Wuhuan is seriously ill. When the treatment process was interrupted by Jinzhi that day, there were rumors that her life would be in the near future. She fought with the national master on the day of the wedding, not to mention... there was no need for Tianqi to fake the news of the death of the prince-consort. This would not be of any benefit to Emperor Yongjia and Chu Qingyi."

Someone behind Tuoba Mingzhu agreed: "The princess is right, and I think so too."

The others also agreed. Although Tuoba Mingzhu is a woman, she is a legitimate daughter, and has a strong personality and strong ability. She has done a lot of things for Tuoba Liang in her early years. Now, after Tuoba Liang ascended the throne, the queen seems a little weak because of the continuous loss of the legitimate son, which has allowed Tuoba Mingzhu to get the resources of her brother to stand out.

Tuoba Liang nodded and said, "It's good to die. The remnants of Lingxiao Trading Company will continue to investigate. I will never tolerate Jun Wuhuan's remnants of power in the Northern Jin Dynasty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded in unison.

Tuoba Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Since Jun Wuhuan is dead, that Chu Qingyi..."

Tuoba Mingzhu's heart was shocked and thought to herself. She hurriedly said, "Father, the rules of the Tianqi are very strict with women. Even if Chu Qingyi dies, she will have to wait for two or three years to marry again. The sons think that with Chu Qingyi's personality... even if she is married to the Northern Jin Dynasty, she will probably lead the wolf into the house. Please think twice." Tuoba Liang looked at Tuoba Mingzhu deeply, as if she understood what she was thinking. But he said lightly: "What are you thinking? I just want to say that when Jun Wuhuan dies, Chu Qingyi will lose a strong backer. Let the people of Pingjing pay attention to her. If there is a chance... After all, Princess Wu'an, who was personally named by the former emperor, should come back to reunite with the general's master and apprentice."

Tuoba Mingzhu disagreed. It was true that his father wanted to capture Chu Qingyi back, but it was true that he wanted Chu Qingyi to enter the palace and become a concubine. As a man... Before he reached his goal, he naturally put the throne first. Now he has sat in this position, and some things that originally didn't seem important have naturally become important. The princess of the God-Blessing of the Heavenly Revelation and Princess Wu'an of the Northern Jin Dynasty are the women that men in this world long for the most.

"What the Father said," Tuoba Mingzhu lowered her eyes and smiled.

Tuoba Liang asked: "How is Jinzhi's injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, my father has improved a lot. I believe you will be cured in a short while." Tuoba Mingzhu said.

Tuoba Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. The front vanguard has set out. It's better that he can set out as soon as possible. This time... don't let me down again."

Tuoba Mingzhu bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust. Please rest assured, my father. Jinzhi will definitely not disappoint you this time."

"Yeah, go."

Tuoba Mingzhu walked out of the imperial study and turned to the harem. She now lives in the princess's mansion outside. Even as a daughter, she can only enter the harem when she visits the queen. Before she could even walk to the queen's palace, she saw a graceful voice coming from a distance. The woman looked no longer a young man, and her appearance was not very delicate and had a confusing temperament. Unlike the palace wearing the gentry costume, she was wearing avant-garde costume and walking around the palace with a swagger, but no one dared to care.

"Princess Zhaoguo."

"Concubine Yao."

The two stood still and shouted faintly. Zhu Yaohong smiled slightly, "Is the princess going to see the queen?"

Tuoba Mingzhu glanced at her but did not answer. Zhu Yaohong didn't care and turned sideways away and said, "Then I won't bother the princess. Your Majesty summoned me, I'll go first." Tuoba Mingzhu snorted and said, "No." Looking at Zhu Yaohong's back walking away, Tuoba Mingzhu gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Vox spirit!"

Zhu Yaohong's martial arts skills are not weak, so he naturally stopped this sentence in his ears. However, he was not angry, but laughed out loud, turned to look at Tuoba Mingzhu and said, "Princess, the vixen... It's better than robbing a good man."

"What did you say?!" Tuoba Mingzhu was furious. What she hated most in her life was that others reflected her relationship with Baili Qinghong, not to mention that Zhu Yaohong was just a little clear.

Zhu Yaohong covered her lips and smiled charmingly, "Oh, I said the wrong thing, princess forgive me." But this apology was insincere, but it was more like a provocation.

Tuoba Mingzhu didn't know what she thought of, but she endured it and did not make any hair at Zhu Yaohong. She just sneered and left.

Seeing Tuoba Mingzhu's figure moving away, Zhu Yaohong looked up at the sky and sighed softly. The maid beside her couldn't help but say, "The princess is so rude to you, why don't you report to Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yaohong chuckled and said, "She is also a poor person, just like that."

I love a man with shamelessness and shamelessness. I have been unable to influence people for more than ten years. Finally, I realized that it was the one who led a wolf into the house. Is it pitiable?

"It's going to change, let's go." Zhu Yaohong said with a smile.

The maid looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and cloudless. Is it going to change?
