"I want to protect your world, a world that is pure and clear between good and evil. You are what I yearn for. So Xi'er, don't change yourself for me or force yourself. Just be Chu Yunxi."
Chu Yunxi wiped away her disappointed tears and nodded seriously. There was nothing she could do for Jun Lingyun, she could only accompany him, support him, and be his crown prince.
Jun Lingyun took Chu Yunxi into his arms. At this moment, he felt that Chu Yunxi really belonged to him. The two hugged each other quietly for a long time.
Chu Yunxi saw that it was getting late and got out of Jun Lingyun's arms.
"Ling Yun, I have to go back to my house. It's time to take Aunt Liu back to our house."
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Yunxi who was restless with interest.
"Prince Princess, don't work too hard. Remember, I have my backing."
Just as he was about to give him a farewell kiss, Chu Yunxi had already left his arms and smiled playfully.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, your Crown Princess is not that easy to mess with."
Jun Lingyun could only sigh. There were still more than two months, so he could just bear it.
Turning around and seeing the half-dead Gu insect, Jun Lingyun reached out to pick it up and looked at it carefully. It was time to settle his accounts and his mother's accounts with Xiao.
Taking the Gu insect, Jun Lingyun went to the emperor's palace.
Eunuch Fu took the small bottle handed over by Jun Lingyun and handed it to the emperor.
"What's this?"
The emperor looked around and saw that he had never seen such an insect.
"Father, this is a Gu insect."
The emperor raised his head in confusion, his heart tightening.
"Gu insect? That kind of witchcraft that only exists in rumors?"
This kind of evil magic has been strictly prohibited since the time of the late emperor. How could it appear again?
"Exactly! This is Xiao's poisonous insect that he planted on his son. Thanks to Dr. Zhang's superb medical skills, he successfully removed it for him. Otherwise, he would have died like his mother and queen back then."
Jun Lingyun didn't know where Chu Yunxi's strange abilities came from, so he couldn't expose her rashly and attributed them all to Dr. Zhang.
The emperor's eyes trembled. Empress Yin, the only woman he had ever loved with all his heart, his beloved wife, unfortunately passed away after giving birth to the prince.
The emperor always thought that Queen Yin would leave him because she had not passed the test of giving birth to a woman.
Every time he saw the prince, he would think of that beautiful and impeccable queen. Therefore, he could not give Jun Lingyun the love of a loving father. He could only give him all the resources to let him grow into a big tree without having to cling to anyone.
But it turns out that all this was Xiao's plan? He actually let that woman rule the harem for so many years.
The emperor waved his hand dejectedly: "You go back first."
Jun Lingyun knew that the emperor needed time to calm down, so he resigned and left.
The emperor looked at the small bottle containing the poison for a long time and finally stood up.
The emperor's sedan chair stopped at the entrance of Leng Palace. It was already dark, and Eunuch Fu held a lantern in front to illuminate the emperor who got off the sedan chair.
At the sound of the emperor's arrival, the cold palace became excited for the first time in a thousand years. Crazy people and not crazy people all stuck their heads out, hoping to catch a glimpse of the dragon's face.
Some of them were disheveled and shouted: Your Majesty, do you still remember my concubine?
He wanted to run to the emperor, but was stopped by the guards.
When Mrs. Xiao heard this shout, she felt happy and hurriedly arranged her hair. Great, the emperor finally came to the cold palace to take her out.
The emperor could not leave the Xiao family in the end. She won the bet, and both the prince and Chu Yunxi were in her hands.
However, there wasn't even a bronze mirror here, and she didn't know if she could still see him in her current image.
"Ms. Xiao, why don't you come out quickly to pick up the driver?"
Eunuch Fu saw the emperor frowning and urged him loudly.
Mrs. Xiao then walked out with her body in hand and bowed, "I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"You are already a deposed concubine, how dare you call yourself a concubine?"
The emperor looked at Mrs. Xiao with a bruised nose and swollen face in disgust.
Although I don't know how she got this look, this ugly appearance is worthy of her black heart.
"Your Majesty, I know that I've made you angry this time. It's all those blind people who are messing around. When I go out, I will tell my father and Yan'er to discipline their subordinates well and stop causing trouble to the Emperor."
Mrs. Xiao was filled with joy, thinking that the prince had persuaded the emperor in order to survive, and that this matter had been reduced to a trivial matter.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, took out the small bottle that Jun Lingyun gave him, opened the cap, and ordered Mrs. Xiao: "Stretch out your hand!"
Mrs. Xiao wondered what the emperor was going to do and why he wanted to give her a worm. When she came forward, she looked carefully at the worm in the bottle and took a few steps back.
How could it be? How could it be possible? How could the Gu she planted on the Prince be here? How did they get it out of the Prince? She obviously hid the mother Gu well and there was no way it would be discovered.
With a glance from the emperor, a guard grabbed Xiao's arm and dragged her back to the emperor.
"No, no, I don't want it, don't give it to me."
Seeing Mrs. Xiao's flustered refusal and the rise and fall of the emperor's chest, she really recognized this Gu. For more than twenty years, he had lost his lover and wrongly blamed the prince for the death of his biological mother. It was all Xiao, a bitch, who was responsible!
She was still in front of him, showing her deep affection for the sisters Queen Yin. The emperor felt nauseous when he thought of the favor he had given to Mrs. Xiao.
Xiao's palm was forcibly opened by the guards, and the emperor watched Xiao's struggle with cold eyes, and without hesitation, poured the Gu insect into Xiao's hand.
The Gu insect was already half-dead, but now the son felt the breath of flesh and blood, struggled to his death, slipped into Xiao's hand and disappeared.
The guard let go of Xiao, and she shook her hand vigorously, as if she could shake the poison out of her body, but it was to no avail.
She knows best how being tortured by poisonous insects can consume a person's life bit by bit.
She finally got scared, knelt down in front of the emperor, and hugged his feet.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have served you for so many years. I have tried my best and never slackened off."
At this time, the emperor only had hatred for Mrs. Xiao, so he kicked Mrs. Xiao away.
"I see that you have really tried your best to stabilize the power of your Xiao family for so many years and have never slacked off."
The emperor patted Xiao's wrinkled clothes.
"From now on, Mrs. Xiao's house will be locked. No food or drink is allowed to Mrs. Xiao. She will be left to fend for herself!"
The emperor threw away his sleeves and walked away. Mrs. Xiao struggled to get up and chased after him, but was slammed and locked up forever in this dark and cold palace.
"Your Majesty, what is so good about that bitch of the Yin family? She is always busy, how can I be inferior to her? You are going to torture me, who has been with you for more than twenty years, to death for that dead man, Your Majesty."
The banging on the door and Mrs. Xiao's desperate cries spread throughout the entire cold palace, but no one sympathized with her. In this huge palace, how many people can survive if they are not selfish?
Everyone has too much time to take care of themselves, so there is no time to sympathize with others. It would be better not to be sympathized with by others.
