Chu Wanxiang's eyes turned red, and she stubbornly twisted her head: "I won't go back!"

"I can't help you!" Chu Mohan dragged Chu Wanxiang out, "Go back."

"Mo Han, what are you doing, don't hurt her, please......

Chu Dulin couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped his palm on the table: "Brother Huang, that's enough! Do you really plan to depose the title of the imperial concubine and expel her from the palace? After all, she is your nominal imperial concubine, if she is kicked out of the palace, how will the people outside view my country's laws?"

Chu Mohan gritted his teeth: "She has fallen out of favor, why should she be the imperial concubine?"

Chu Dulin said, "Just because the imperial sister-in-law is the imperial concubine canonized by the emperor himself, she should abide by the law of the country! If the imperial brother insists on abolishing the throne of the imperial concubine, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the people, and even the father and queen mother will no longer want to control the imperial brother."

Chu Wanxiang suddenly understood, no wonder Chu Mochen didn't like the Lin family's mother and daughter. She once thought that Chu Dulin married her into the palace just to use her to contain the Lin family's mother and daughter, but now it seems that Chu Dulin really didn't feel sorry for her, she misunderstood him.

"I said that I will not depose the honorific title of the imperial concubine, and the imperial sister can relax. As for the Jiang family and the children, I will treat them well and will not treat them badly, so you can rest assured."

Chu Dulin arched his hand and said respectfully, "Brother Xie Huang is considerate."

Jiang Qiyun said softly and gratefully, "The concubine is the concubine and the fetus in the womb of the concubine has thanked the emperor."

Chu Mohan nodded and helped her continue to walk. Chu Wanxiang followed behind, watching Chu Mohan whisper softly, gentle and patient to Jiang Qiyun, his eyes were sour, tears fell, and he wiped his tears in a panic.

"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" Chu Mohan asked with concern.

Chu Wanxiang shook her head and barely squeezed out a smile: "It's okay."

Chu Dulin looked at her and said to Chu Mohan, "Brother Huang, Xi'er is weak, so don't be tired."

Chu Mohan looked at Chu Wanxiang, and Chu Wanxiang hummed softly. Chu Mohan ordered everyone to retreat.

When night fell, the lights were on, and Chu Dulin stayed for dinner before leaving.

Chu Wanxiang was sitting under the windowsill reading a book, and when she heard footsteps in the room, she didn't look back: "Why are you here?" Don't accompany Concubine Jiang anymore?"

"She has a nurse to take care of her, I can rest assured." Chu Mohan walked over and stood beside her, looking at her back. She wore a rose-colored embroidered plum pattern dress, her jet-black hair was tied in a flying fairy bun, a gold-inlaid hosta was inserted diagonally, and a few pearl earrings fell from her ears, which made her skin more and more crystal clear. Her cheeks were thin and sharp, and they seemed to have been much lighter than before. Thinking of the scene in the palace just now, Chu Mohan's eyes dimmed. He suddenly reached out and took her into his arms and hugged her.

"You ......" Chu Wanxiang glared at him in surprise, but didn't dare to push him, "Are you crazy?"

"Yes." Chu Mohan lowered his head and buried it in her shoulder socket and rubbed it. He can't afford to lose her, absolutely not.

Chu Wanxiang froze in place, at a loss. She had never been in such a situation before, and for a moment she forgot how to react.

"What's wrong with you?" After a moment, she relented, tentatively reaching out her fingers to caress his face. Touching the cold skin, Chu Wanxiang was so frightened that she retracted her hand and looked at him worriedly.

Chu Mohan stared at her eyes: "Xi'er, you tell me, what is going on?"

She was silent for a long time before she said, "You believe me, I have no fornication with Chu Tianshu."

Chu Mohan's brows tightened, and he looked at her questioningly, "I don't believe it."

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes, laughed at herself, and raised her head to meet his gaze: "If you don't believe it, you can't help it, that's the case. Believe it or not?"

"I don't believe it, Xi'er, I want to confirm it with my own eyes."

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and hesitated, "It's too cruel to you like this, I ...... it."

"No matter what the outcome is, I won't be as sad as I am now. Xi'er, let's start again." His voice was hoarse, mournful, but so firm that she couldn't refuse.

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang." The palace maid hurriedly walked over and knelt at her feet to report, "The slave maid has checked, the emperor did not summon you, today I just went to Kunning Palace to ask for peace to the virtuous concubine." The virtuous concubine did not sleep either."

Chu Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Mohan: "Then I'll rest assured, otherwise I don't know how many rumors I will make."

Chu Mohan frowned and said, "Xi'er, I don't want you to wronged yourself. If you feel bad in your heart, I can make it up to you."

"Compensation?" Chu Wanxiang was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "Who does the emperor want to compensate? Have you forgotten that I am the daughter of the Lin family? The emperor wants to compensate me, is he planning to make the child they gave birth to the crown prince? Or are you going to make the niece of the Lin clan the queen?"

An angry look appeared on Chu Mohan's face: "What are you thinking nonsense?"

Chu Wanxiang said sarcastically, "Doesn't the emperor think so?"

"Xi'er." Chu Mohan's face was cloudy, "Do you know who I hate the most?"

Chu Wanxiang sneered, "Of course I know. My father and brother died, imprisoned and imprisoned, and you took his power and forced him to death."

Chu Mo said coldly: "They made mistakes first, their sins are unforgivable, I killed them, it is right."

"yes. Their crime is deserving of a thousand cuts, but ...... They are all your dearest!"

"You're defending them?"

"I'm just stating a fact." Chu Wanxiang said calmly, "Since your father and brother have made a heinous mistake, you should punish them severely. Although I am the daughter of the Lin family, I have nothing to do with them and should not be involved. Moreover, I haven't thought about being an imperial concubine, I don't have much ambition, I want to live in peace, you promise me, you can't break your promise."

Chu Mohan looked at her deeply, his mouth moved, and he didn't say anything in the end, only said, "You go back and rest first."

Chu Wanxiang didn't move: "I want to wait until dawn to go back."

"No need." Chu Mohan turned around and wanted to leave.

Chu Wanxiang hurriedly stopped him: "Don't go, let me stay with you." I can't sleep alone."

"No, I don't." After Chu Mohan finished speaking, he strode away.

Chu Wanxiang stood on the edge of the bed and watched his tall figure disappear into the night, sighed softly, and lay down on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

The next day I woke up at noon, and the sun was shining all over the courtyard. After Chu Wanxiang finished washing, she called Qiu Ju and instructed her to prepare a hot bath, and called Bai Zhi and Hongluan to come in to serve and groom.

Bai Zhi and Hongluan served Chu Wanxiang and wore clothes. Bai Zhi brought a basin of hot water and put it on the table, and said, "The emperor left the palace early in the morning."

"Hmm." Chu Wanxiang said lightly and sat on the chair.

Bai Zhi and Hongluan winked at each other, picked up a comb to comb the green silk for Chu Wanxiang, Hongluan quietly approached Chu Wanxiang, and whispered, "Niangniang, you ...... last night Did the emperor really not touch you?"
