Aunt Liu stared at her, looking wantonly into Chu Yunxi's eyes. Admiring the surging emotions beneath her calm surface, she leaned forward slightly.
"Back then, it was not the Xiao family who sought out the emperor, but the Xiao family who was approached by the emperor!"
Chu Yunxi felt chills all over her body. How true could Aunt Liu's words be? Or maybe, all of them were true.
"How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? Although the emperor has appointed Yin as his queen, Yin still has her own heart. What do you think the emperor will do when he finds out?"
Chu Yunxi didn't answer, but in her heart, she was thinking of the emperor who supported her several times and let her call her father.
"Ordinary men may be disgusted with women because of this, but the emperor is not an ordinary man. He has just ascended the throne and is ruling the world. If he wants to conquer that woman, the prerequisite is to gouge out the man in the woman's heart, completely gouge out, and let her
I don’t think about it anymore.”
Cold sweat broke out on Chu Yunxi's palms. Jun Lingyun, whom she was about to entrust for the rest of her life, was still waiting for her outside. Jun Lingyun's father might be the enemy of her mentor.
"Why should I believe what you say?"
Aunt Liu moved her aching hands. Seeing Chu Yunxi in pain, she felt that she was tied up in vain.
"When you asked this question, you already believed it, didn't you? Back then, Duke Xiao was just an ordinary courtier. How powerful could he be to eradicate the Sikong family, which was full of students and plums all over the world? What happened back then, if you want
Check, I believe that with your current methods, you will be able to find out. Why should I lie?"
Listening to Aunt Liu's words, Chu Yunxi thought back to why she didn't investigate further and believed that Concubine Xiao was jealous and resentful, and that Duke Xiao had deceived the emperor because of the woman's access to the throne.
She remembered it because Jun Lingyun's words were the same as her mother's words on that matter.
The mother didn’t know the inside story, and Jun Lingyun was well-informed, so wouldn’t he know it too?
Chu Yunxi's heart gradually fell to the bottom. If what Aunt Liu said was true, maybe Jun Lingyun concealed the truth about her in this matter for the sake of his father.
Aunt Liu keeps up her efforts.
"The art of the emperor is the art of balancing. The emperor can use the Xiao family to destroy the growing Sikong family, or he can use the Chu family to destroy the Xiao family that dominates the ruling party. How could the Chu family not be on guard against you?
"
"you shut up!"
Chu Yunxi didn't want to hear anymore. She was a little breathless when she thought about the tragic death of her whole family in her previous life. Perhaps it was not just Jun Hongyan's vicious heart, but also the emperor's many years of premeditation.
This made Aunt Liu even more excited.
"The prince learned the imperial skills taught to him by the emperor. How do you know that the prince will not become the second emperor in the future? As long as you are still the royal wife and the Chu family is still an official in the court, then
There is no way to escape the cycle of fate.”
The word reincarnation was like a thorn, piercing deeply into Chu Yunxi's heart. She seemed to be on the scorching palace wall again, her limbs were so painful that they were numb, but her ears were filled with sounds that made her sink into an ice cave.
of discussion.
"It's really scary. Hundreds of members of the Chu family were beheaded immediately. The blood flowed so much that the entire market entrance was stained red."
"The Chu family surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, and they all deserved it."
Since Chu Yunxi's rebirth, the memories of her previous life have never been so vivid as at this moment, seemingly penetrating into her mind, giving her a splitting headache.
"Shut up, shut up!"
Chu Yunxi's fierce shouting did not make Aunt Liu stop, but made her speak faster.
"Speaking of it, you and I are the same kind of people, but you are luckier than me. I carried hatred and voluntarily entered the enemy's family, and suffered inner torture every day. But you, although you are also in the enemy's family, you know nothing and live a free life.
Zi Zi. What kind of mentality did your mentor have when he was teaching you by your side? How much did it cost your family to pave the way for you?"
"boom!"
The closed door was kicked open. In a flash of cold light, there were already drops of blood on Aunt Liu's neck.
Aunt Liu closed her mouth tightly, her body stiff and trembling. The prince in anger made people shudder.
Jun Lingyun held the hand of the Hanguang Sword and slowly exerted force. What about the threat of Dongyi Kingdom, about the stability of Yunxiao Kingdom, and about the rule of the world? Now, he just wants Aunt Liu to die.
Just as he was about to exert force, he caught a glimpse of the petite figure falling slowly from the corner of his eye.
"Xier!"
He ducked to catch the fainted Chu Yunxi and looked at Aunt Liu like a dead person.
"Come here, torture her, don't let her die."
Aunt Liu clenched her fists tightly, her body could not stop shaking, but she gritted her teeth and did not say a word for mercy, because she understood that begging for mercy would only make this man more angry.
Jun Lingyun had already picked up Chu Yunxi and flew back to the palace. When Bai Xiao saw this, he went to fetch Imperial Doctor Zhang without waiting for Jun Lingyun's instructions.
Jun Lingyun gently placed Chu Yunxi on the couch and whispered her name.
"Xi'er, Xi'er."
He regretted not stopping Aunt Liu earlier.
In fact, he has been waiting.
He could see that his father already regretted what happened to the Sikong family. After a little time, maybe his father would be able to put down his dignity and take the initiative to admit his mistake.
Maybe, when Xi'er's mind becomes more mature, she can be more understanding towards her father.
On one side is his blood relative, his respected father, and on the other side is the woman he deeply loves.
Jun Lingyun didn't want either party to be harmed, let alone kill each other because of the past.
Just like he had never told his father, Chu Yunxi's mentor was the successor of the Sikong family, Sikong Yu.
But today, what happened back then was revealed from Aunt Liu's mouth. At that moment, he did not stop her. The truth that he could not tell could not be hidden from Xi'er for the rest of his life.
However, Jun Lingyun did not expect that Chu Yunxi's reaction would be so big.
It seems that he still underestimated Sikong Yu's status in Xi'er's heart.
Jun Lingyun was scratching her hair in frustration when Doctor Zhang ran in panting.
"His Royal Highness, let me have a look."
Jun Lingyun touched Chu Yunxi's slightly sweaty hair again, stood up and moved out of the way.
Doctor Zhang looked at Chu Yunxi's face and felt his pulse.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess just fainted because she was so angry that she fainted. Weichen will prescribe a medicine for the Crown Princess to take for three days. Do not be irritated again."
Doctor Zhang wrote the prescription and was puzzled. Judging from his interactions with the Crown Princess these days, although the Crown Princess was young, she was steady and determined, and she was not someone who could be easily offended.
"Your Highness, women are weak. In everything you do, you should be more modest and gentle, but don't be so cruel to your enemies. Most women can't bear it."
After Dr. Zhang patiently persuaded him, he looked up and saw Jun Lingyun looking at Chu Yunxi with distressed eyes.
This, isn't the Crown Princess angry with His Highness the Crown Prince?
It was already dark, and Chu Yunxi, who had fallen asleep, entered the library tower in her dream again.
She slowly came to the biographies of these important figures in Yunxiao Kingdom, and took out the biography of the emperor, Empress Yin, Jun Lingyun, and her own biography.
She has never wanted to pry into her own destiny in this way, saying that it is rare to be confused. If she could see everything so clearly, she might be forced to death by herself.
But if you don't understand some things, you may make big mistakes again.
Chu Yunxi took a deep breath before unfolding the book and flipping through the pages.
