Chapter 118: Acting with You

"Evening Xiang." Chu Mohan called out to her, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "Don't be angry with Dusk Han."

Chu Wanxiang's back stiffened, and then she walked away without looking back.

"What's wrong with Wanxiang?" Old Madam Lin frowned suspiciously, "Is she in a bad mood today?"

"Well, she's been like that lately." Chu Mohan said.

Chu Wanxiang was in a bad mood, naturally because of Chu Duhan. He not only snatched the queen's throne, but also caused her to lose her child, how could she be happy.

Chu Mohan didn't dare to stay longer, got up and prepared to leave.

Old Madam Lin called out to him, "Twilight, twilight."

"Grandmother, what else do you command?" Chu Duhan turned around and asked.

Old Madam Lin sighed: "Wan Xiang has a big temper lately, and she is always awkward. Don't take it to heart and comfort her. You are husband and wife, and it is normal for you to quarrel, and she doesn't mean to quarrel with you."

Chu Duhan replied respectfully, "Grandson knows."

"Go ahead."

The emperor was quite satisfied with this grandson, rewarded him with a lot of precious things, and asked him to take good care of Chu Wanxiang.

After Chu Duhan left, Old Madam Lin looked at Jiang Qiyun: "Qiyun, you go back to the house to rest first, the mourning family still has something to talk to Wanxiang."

After Chu Duhan left, Chu Wanxiang and Jiang Qiyun entered the house. The maids bring the food to the table.

"Mother, use it slowly." The maid saluted and withdrew, withdrawing, and closing the door.

"Mother, the slave is waiting for you to eat." Mama helped Jiang Qiyun sit down and arranged the meal with her own hands.

"Go down, all of you, and don't have to stay here." Jiang Qiyun waved everyone back.

"Mother......" Mama frowned worriedly.

"Go down!" Jiang Qiyun scolded sharply.

"Yes, the minions obey." Mama bent her knees, led a few maids to withdraw, and before going out, she glanced at Chu Wanxiang, as if hoping that she could persuade Jiang Qiyun. Chu Wanxiang ignored her eyes and lowered her head to concentrate on eating. c

As soon as Chu Wanxiang picked up the dishes with chopsticks, Jiang Qiyun slapped the chopsticks in his hand.

Jiang Qiyun sneered: "Pretending to be sick to deceive the emperor's favor? Chu Wanxiang, you have the ability!"

"What are you crazy about?" Chu Wanxiang stared at her in annoyance, "I don't know you at all!"

"Don't know me?" Jiang Qiyun sneered, "You don't remember? When he was five years old, the emperor was assassinated in the palace and was slightly injured. I was there at the time, and I happened to meet you who passed out in the bushes, and I saved you. The emperor remembered the old love and asked you to send you back to the Mansion of Chu State. After you woke up, you pestered me to call my mother, and I had no choice but to take you back to the capital."

"What did you say?" Chu Wanxiang's eyes widened in shock. She remembered that assassination, Chu Duhan protected her and almost died.

"Have you forgotten?" Jiang Qiyun laughed mockingly.

Chu Wanxiang shook her head in a daze, she hadn't forgotten that incident. Chu Mohan desperately guarded her to escape from danger, but she left him alone and escaped at a critical moment.

Jiang Qiyun's eyes flashed with disdain, Chu Wanxiang was really a fool. In that case, she was still thinking about herself, should she think that Chu Duhan would have pity on her because of this and let her go? Stupid. Jiang Qiyun hooked her lips and sneered, and continued to add oil and vinegar: "After I brought you back, the emperor favored you very much, and even built Changle Palace for you. Later, I found out that the design drawings of Changle Palace were secretly drawn by you to the emperor."

Chu Wanxiang was cold, her eyes were empty, and she muttered, "Impossible."

"Humph!" Jiang Qiyun sneered contemptuously, "I just wanted to use you to achieve some kind of purpose, so I pretended to act with you, I didn't expect you to be so stupid." The emperor has already rejected you, so you can wait to see him marry a new love!"

Chu Wanxiang seemed to have lost her soul and was stunned on the chair.

Jiang Qiyun smiled sarcastically and walked away.

Chu Wanxiang slowly came back to her senses, clenched her fists, her eyes burst out with murderous intent, and her nails pinched into her palms. Jiang Qiyun's every sentence was like a knife, stabbing her heart. She struggled to control her emotions that were about to explode, and tried to maintain a feminine and dignified image so that no one would notice her abnormality.

"Evening Xiang." Old Madam Lin took Chu Wanxiang's hand.

Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

After Jiang Qiyun left, Old Madam Lin immediately changed her kind demeanor and comforted Chu Wanxiang in a gentle voice: "Wanxiang, don't think about it. You are the queen, and no one can take your place."

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes slightly: "Yes."

Old Madam Lin said, "Twilight Han is the crown prince, the future prince. The imperial power is supreme, the royal family has strict rules, you must learn to tolerate him."

"I understand, grandma, don't worry. I will be a good wife." Chu Wanxiang said obediently, "I will serve the emperor well and honor my parents."

Hearing her say the word "emperor", Mrs. Lin felt more comfortable, with a smile on her face, and praised again and again: "You are really virtuous and sensible."

Jiang Qiyun walked out of Ning Xinyuan and walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden, feeling depressed.

"Niangniang, you can have a cup of tea." The palace maid Qiu Yue held the teacup and handed it to Jiang Qiyun.

"Don't be thirsty, let it go."

Jiang Qiyun stopped as she walked, listening intently. I vaguely heard the conversation between Old Madam Lin and Chu Wanxiang coming into her ears.

"Wanxiang, what color do you like? How about I ask the palace people to embroider some clothes and jewelry for you?"

"Thank you, mother, it's just that I'm used to wearing plain clothes on weekdays."

"Your dress isn't pretty. I remember when you were five or six years old, I promised you to make you a red dress. It was a sunny day, and I made a point to get people to work in a hurry, and it was finally done."

"I love this dress. I'll never forget it for the rest of my life." Chu Wanxiang's eyes moistened.

"It's good if Wan Xiang likes it. Don't blame grandma for being biased." Old Madam Lin sighed, "Although Grandma loves you, you are not angry!"

"My granddaughter-in-law doesn't dare to ask for too much, I just hope that my grandmother can be happy."

"Alas, it's a pity that your life is thin, and you will die soon."

"The granddaughter-in-law is reluctant to let go of her father and mother, and wants to be filial, but she is afraid of dragging down her grandparents and father again, so she can only leave in pain. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll kill the whole family. So I must go and let the family get through this safely."

"Why are you so stupid, kid?"

"Daughter-in-law granddaughter is sincere, I hope that grandparents and parents will take good care." Chu Wanxiang wiped her tears.

Old Madam Lin sighed: "That's it, if you can have this idea, it won't be in vain for grandma to love you. You have to believe that the emperor is not ruthless to you."

Chu Wanxiang lowered her head: "Grandma taught me."

"The emperor was assassinated in the Imperial Garden today, and the imperial concubine took the opportunity to sow discord in a vain attempt to undermine the unity of the royal family. Fortunately, the prince rushed back in time and stood in front of the emperor regardless of his life. The imperial concubine did not succeed. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Grandma, the emperor will not be deceived by her, he will definitely be able to find out the real murderer." Chu Wanxiang raised her head, her eyes red.
