Early in the morning, Chen Lihua got up to change her clothes, and when the hour came, she went out to see that a carriage was really parked outside the door alone, got into the car, and wandered to a side door.

"When a catastrophe comes, is everyone really running around for their own way out?" Seeing that the emperor's personal guards, who were supposed to be dutiful, also had their own ghosts, they let the unknown carriage enter the palace so generously, although it was convenient for her to enter and exit, Chen Lihua still couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Entering the Ningshen Palace, she saw her father who described her withered father, although she had expected it, Chen Lihua still couldn't calm down. Since she was six years old, she has hardly seen her father again, and the once young and flamboyant face is now only a vague shadow. She once thought that she had no feelings for this old man, and every time she was helpless when she was bullied, the feelings in her heart would be indifferent, and when she knew that she was thrown away to kiss, she was left with grief and despair. She had fantasized countless times about what she would say when she met.

Is it a vicious taunt? Your son is not angry, for the throne under your ass, the dog's brain is about to be beaten, are you disappointed?

Is it an unwilling question? Why do you want me to go and kiss? Why me? Didn't you tell me to let me decide my own marriage?

Or is it triumphant? The daughter you sent out is back, and she has achieved a feat that has not been done for decades, is it unexpected?

There were a lot of questions she wanted to ask, and her mind was turning, she thought that this would be the triumphant return of the victor, but looking at this skinny old man with little time, she finally shouted:

"Father."

Hearing the sound, the old emperor lying on the bed opened his eyes with difficulty, and to her surprise, he could judge who was coming just by the voice: "Is it Hua'er?" After many years, the emperor still remembered Chen Lihua's nickname, "Didn't you go to Liang Kingdom?" ”

"Something happened." Chen Lihua's eyes were slightly red, "I didn't go to Chengliangdu, I knocked Chongming City down." ”

The old emperor's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he laughed, "Amazing, I never expected that Chongming City, which had been lost for decades, would actually be regained in my daughter's hands." ”

The old emperor opened his mouth wide and smiled, but his vocal cords could no longer make a hearty laugh like when he was young, and he could only gasp weakly, because the movement was too loud, and the phlegm stuck in his throat. Looking at the emperor's painful expression, Chen Lihua raised her hand to stop the maid who was going to come over to help, and personally brushed the old emperor's back and phlegm, and fed him water.

The old emperor coughed and said, "It's good that I didn't go, wow, it's not better to marry a young talent in Dajin than to marry that old savage." "The frail old emperor had a happy smile on his face that couldn't even be covered by folds." I didn't expect that as a lonely person, I could still be served by my children before I died, and I was much better than the previous emperors. ”

Looking at the emperor who is now like a loving father, Chen Lihua couldn't help but ask in her heart: "Do you know the things about the eldest brother and the second brother?" ”

The old emperor showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel, "Don't mention the two of them to me, the mud can't support the wall." How can I trust the world to them? When the emperor should be high, turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain, let the people below fight each other, control the ministers instead of relying on them. When I don't know that one behind them is the Li family and the other is the Zhang family? They are all so close, and they can't wait to dig out their hearts. When one of them went up, the world didn't know if it was our Chen family, or their Li family and Zhang family. Do you think I can make a decision? ”

Chen Lihua knew it in her heart, no wonder her father was reluctant to announce the choice of the prince, most likely because she was unwilling. The lack of an heir under his knees is indeed the sorrow of every generation of heroes.

"Net TM." The system snorted coldly. He also didn't want to think that if he didn't announce the results for a day, the two princes couldn't relax for a day, at this time, whoever took refuge in the literati would get a lot of resources, if the eldest prince took refuge in the Li family, the court would be overwhelmingly praised for the eldest prince, at this time, could the second prince not be forced to throw himself into the arms of another family? The delay in choosing the prince is not because he is greedy for power and unwilling to face his death, but he can still throw the black pot on his son, just these three sons, no matter how bad they are, don't you have to pinch your nose and choose one? Don't you understand the truth that the early election will definitely be less turbulent? ”

After listening to the system's complaints, Chen Lihua did not refute, but silently asked the old emperor: "What about my third brother?" ”

The old emperor looked at her in surprise, "Chen Dao? He has no foundation in the court, how can he stand on his feet? ”

…… Just now, I said that it is not possible to get too close to the literati, and now I say that I can't get close to it. Chen Lihua rolled her eyes in her heart.

The old emperor saw that she was silent, and he realized a little, "Did you come back with your third brother?" ”

Seeing Chen Lihua nodding, the old emperor thought, "This person...... Indeed, he has always been a little more stable than his two elder brothers. I had never even seen that this son had such ambitions...... If he has a way to suppress the ministers, he will not be a candidate. ”

The eldest prince Chen Ke and the second prince Chen Tai used their practical actions to prove to everyone that it is better not to do it.

After asking about major matters, it was finally her turn to have a private matter, and Chen Lihua, who had the opportunity to talk face-to-face with her father, couldn't help but feel confused in her heart, and still asked, "Father, what happened in the palace before...... Do you know all about it? ”

The old emperor began to recall: "Did you say that you were bullied by the five princesses? I've always known that. ”

Chen Lihua can actually find a bunch of reasons for her father, but she still asks a little uncontrollably: "Then why don't you leave them alone?" At that time, my daughter thought a lot...... I wish someone could come out and help me. In the end, Chen Lihua couldn't cry anymore.

The old emperor stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Chen Lihua's eyes, and recalled: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Only six months after you were born, the prince who was just born to Concubine Wang died, and that was your deceased seventh emperor brother. I was furious, but what could I do? The situation between the palaces is like fire and water, and everyone in the harem has a ghost in their hearts, and it is already a blessing to be able to grow up successfully. I took you here to protect you. ”

The old emperor shook his head in pain, and muddy tears flowed down the old wrinkles. "But I never expected that this would provoke the jealousy of others for you. When they vaguely revealed to me that they felt that you had taken up too much favor, I was afraid, I was afraid that they would poison again, and I reached a tacit deal with them, and they would no longer show their affection for you, and they would never attack you. In fact, most of the humiliation you have suffered comes from jealousy for me taking you with me before, I thought about compensating you well, and when you grow up, I swore that all young and handsome men are at your disposal, and I will never forcibly arrange a marriage for you, but Liang Guo came up and bluntly said that he wanted to find you, a princess who had just reached the age of breaking melons. I...... There's really no way. ”

The system slapped the door of the head, and expressed that he couldn't bear to look directly at this old guy's ability: "I now know why your eldest brother and second brother are so mediocre...... Your dad also has a big IQ problem. Is the threat level of the prince and the princess the same thing? There are a few people who will commit murder against the princess who has no inheritance rights. You really didn't have anything to do with leaving you in the side hall directly, but it pulled you into people's sight, and you weren't fully prepared. said that he wanted to compensate you, but he was always sure next time, to be honest, it was not easy for you to survive. ”

The old emperor muttered guiltily, remembering something, and a smug smile appeared on the old face that was about to die: "Is Chunjin still comfortable to use?" ”

Chen Lihua, who was still immersed in grief, was a little shocked, "Father...... What do you mean? ”

She had a bad guess in her mind, but she didn't want to admit it. The old emperor just cracked his toothless mouth and smiled triumphantly, confirming the answer she evaded.

"When I let you go back alone, I didn't feel at ease. So I arranged a maid to serve you, and by the way, let the other people in the palace restrain themselves. It's not good, but at least she's okay to take care of you. Thinking of something, he snorted dissatisfiedly, "Later, this little girl actually wanted to run, saying that she got your approval." What if you get your approval? It's already so heartbroken for me to marry my daughter, why can this little maid be tolerated? I asked her to slap her palm twenty times and then let her watch it, and she finally chose to go back in the dust, even if she was smart. ”

Chen Lihua felt that something was torn in her heart, and she would rather not have heard the news. After so many years of suffering and suffering, his only reliance in the past has always been, but it is only the task of his father?

Every time Chunjin smiles cheerfully, how many resentful whispers are there towards himself? Even the only person who posted it was in disguise?

"Don't be fooled." Liu Muyang saw that Chen Lihua's face was pale and her body was shaky, and hurriedly said: "Even if her purpose was not pure at the beginning, can she ignore the honor and disgrace all these years?" People are not plants and trees, they have been together for so long, even if they are pets, they will have feelings, can she be so ruthless? Do you think that if it is just an assigned task, Chunjin will desperately help you behind Chongming City? ”

Chen Lihua came back to her senses, but she was careless. It was this news that was too shocking before, causing her to panic, calm down, and realize that what the system said was true.

The emperor didn't see the change in Chen Lihua's expression, he was still immersed in self-touching. "Everything before was not good for me, but now it's great to see you come back safely."

It was getting late, the sun was hanging in the sky, the old eunuch came over and glanced at Chen Lihua, she knew that the time was up, and she should leave, her father had a limited amount of time to wake up every day, and it was impossible to use it all on herself.

Chen Lihua got up and said goodbye. "Father, it's not too early, and my daughter will retire first."

The old emperor suddenly understood, twisted his neck with difficulty, and looked for the great eunuch who had accompanied him for many years with cloudy and blurred eyes, "Su Daban, can I accompany my daughter more?" Is it okay to talk about today's business tomorrow? ”

Su Daban's face was sad, he knelt directly on the ground, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, state affairs are important, and it is understandable that the love of licking calves is inseparable, if you really miss Princess Xuancheng, you can also let Her Royal Highness come back on a certain day, you just say a date, our family will personally pick her up, and the arrangements are appropriate." ”

The old emperor closed his eyes, and after a while, he said bitterly: "No need, this is not a good place, Hua'er, come this time, don't come in the future." After you go back, stay away from here, find a good family to marry, and live a peaceful life. ”

After speaking, there was no more movement, and he closed his eyes and recuperated.

The system sighed a little, "Your dad is really not a bad person, but his ability is too mediocre, but unfortunately in this position, this is the original sin." ”

Walking out of the palace gate, Chen Lihua saw the Chunjin waiting for her, with a trace of anxiety and hesitation on her face. Chen Lihua's heart moved, deliberately walked in front of her, and said coldly: "You know everything about you." ”

Chun Jinru's face turned pale as if he was struck by lightning, "Your Highness, although Jin'er came by order, she has never done anything to be sorry for you." At the beginning, Jin'er was indeed intercepted by His Majesty, but what he said at that time was not at ease His Royal Highness, but he was also sincere. As he spoke, two lines of tears had fallen.

"Your Highness, you, if you don't believe it, Jin'er can prove her innocence by death."

Chen Lihua saw Chunjin's reaction so much, she already regretted it a little, she hurriedly held Chunjin's trembling hands, and said softly: "Lone knows, Lone is just teasing you." ”

In fact, at the beginning, although I said that I didn't care, how could I be as relieved in my heart as if I hadn't heard of it? After all, when I saw Chunjin go and return, I was moved by a mess, at that time, Chunjin may be the only person who is good to him, it is precisely because the more trust before, the greater the blow when he was betrayed.

Looking at Chunjin who cried into a little cat, Chen Lihua laughed at herself, going to a foreign country to make peace with relatives is not a good errand, do you really have to ask people to have a little selfishness? Does it really matter whether she comes back with five points of care, or three points of care and seven points of care?

She pulled Chunjin tightly in her arms and said: "In the future, there will be no master and servant, you and I will be called sisters, since Chunjin was sent by my father, then you don't have to walk in the world in the name of Chunjin, and I will no longer call myself lonely in front of you." Before entering the palace, I remember that your name was Chu Nianjiao, right? Reacquaint, hello sister, my name is Chen Lihua. ”

Looking at Chen Lihua with a smile on her face, Chu Nianjiao wiped her tears awkwardly and responded in a low voice: "I, my name is Chu Nianjiao." Summoning up the courage, he added, "Sister." ”
