Chu Duyun tried to get closer to Chu Muhan, but he was never able to integrate into Chu Muhan's world, as if Chu Muhan was always surrounded by a veil, and he could never see Mu Han's heart clearly.

Chu Duyun even felt that Chu Muhan was very similar to his mother Concubine Zhao, and they were so hidden that he couldn't guess. Chu Duiyun wanted to be close to Chu Duhan, but there were many things between them, and Chu Duiyun didn't know how to cross this gap.

Chu Duyun's words aroused Chu Muhan's sadness, he looked at the lake, and said slowly, "Yes, since we moved out of the palace, brothers and sisters have gathered less and separated more, and our friendship doesn't seem to be so strong. Twilight, you are my most beloved brother, your happiness is my hope, I hope you can meet someone who treats you sincerely, you can find your own happiness, and you don't have to be affected by me."

Chu Duyun's eyes were red, and he choked up, "Fourth brother...... Don't say that, I...... We are all royal people, destined to be lonely, we can't be like others, we can marry a virtuous and beautiful queen, we can enjoy the blessings of all people, we can also have three wives and four concubines, we ......."

"Alright, Twilight, let's stop talking about that." Chu Mohan stopped Chu Duyun from talking and changed the topic, "How are you preparing for your marriage with Xiao Yuyao?"

"I have already written an invitation to send it to Xiao's Mansion, and Prime Minister Xiao readily agreed, but my mother was reluctant to let me get married...... Well, I knew she wouldn't agree." Chu Duyun sighed, his face full of distress.

"What about the Imperial Grandmother? How did you convince Grandmother to agree?"

Chu Duyun smiled and said, "Grandmother Huang loves me the most, as long as I pretend to cry and make a fuss, she will let go."

Chu Mohan nodded appreciatively: "You're still smart."

Chu Duyun smiled and said, "This is called a dangerous move."

"Okay, go back quickly, I still have something to do, so I won't leave you for lunch."

Chu Wanxiang responded obediently and turned to leave.

After taking two steps, I suddenly heard an exclamation from behind, followed by a sound of falling water. Chu Wanxiang stopped suddenly, looked back into the lake, and saw the familiar robe. Chu Muhan struggled in the water, but he was wet, and he looked like he had just fallen into the water.

Chu Duyun hurriedly ran in: "Fourth brother, why did you jump into the water!" Chu Duyun took off his coat in a panic and threw it on the shore, and rushed into the pavilion, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, are you okay?"

"Ahem...... Chu Muhan coughed and climbed ashore, panting and shaking his head, "I'm fine."

Chu Duyun helped Chu Muhan ashore, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his body: "Fourth brother, why did you suddenly jump into the water?"

Chu Duyun's movements were too intimate, Chu Muhan resisted a little, frowned, and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Chu Wanxiang didn't dare to touch Chu Muhan again, threw the handkerchief on the ground, and wrapped Chu Muhan with a cloak: "You wait for me, I will immediately order someone to save you." Chu Duyun said and left in a hurry.

Chu Mohan stood by the lake, stunned, he remembered the surprise, shock, embarrassment, and a faint fear when he saw Chu Wanxiang just now. He had never been so scared, and he felt suffocated by that fear. He remembered his father's words before he died, and his father said, "Ah Chuan, I don't want you to end up like your mother. You shouldn't fall in love with Chu Wanxiang, she will hurt you."

Chu Wanxiang fell in love with herself, and Chu Mohan felt angry. However, what made him even more painful was that he was afraid of someone who loved him. What's wrong with Chu Wanxiang? Why did he have such a ridiculous idea.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? It's getting colder, so let's go back."

Chu Duyun's voice interrupted Chu Mohan's thoughts, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Duyun: "I'm fine, you go back first, I'm blowing the wind by the lake."

"Then I'll go back first." After Chu Duyun left, Chu Mohan stood by the lake, looking at the turbulent lake and was silent.

"Your Majesty?"

Chu Mohan turned around: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to tell Your Majesty that the Imperial Concubine has agreed to give marriage."

Chu Mohan frowned slightly, hummed softly, and asked, "Who do you think Twilight is suitable with?"

Chu Mubai, the prince of Qin? Although they grew up since childhood, Chu Duyun likes Chu Mubai, and they all know it, so it is absolutely impossible for the prince of Qin Guo. Chu Mohan flashed a few handsome faces in his mind, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"If Your Majesty is okay, the concubine will retire first."

"Go ahead."

"Yes." The mother of the prince of Qin is the niece of the queen's mother-in-law, Liu, who has an extraordinary status in the palace, she is the cousin of the current queen and the aunt of Chu Duyun. The Liu family only has a daughter and a son under her knees, and the Liu family favors her son Chu Mubai very much, so she tries every means to get her son promoted to a high official position.

Now that Chu Mohan has ascended the throne and become emperor, the Liu family will definitely install his son by his side to serve him, and this marriage between Chu Muyun and Nanzhao is an opportunity. He didn't particularly care who the Liu family would choose as his son-in-law.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Mubai's voice sounded in the imperial garden, Chu Mubai was wearing a silver-gray brocade robe, and his figure was slender and straight. He walked all the way, came to Chu Mohan, hugged his fists and bowed: "See Your Majesty."

Chu Mohan glanced at Chu Mubai: "Calm down."

Chu Mubai thanked him and stood up respectfully: "Your Majesty summoned me to meet me, but there is something important?"

Chu Mohan said lightly: "Today, you go to the imperial study with me to discuss business."

"Obey." Chu Mubai smiled, "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Taishi is sick, I don't know if the condition is serious, do you want the minister to visit the Taishi?"

"No need to bother, the Taishi's illness has been cured." Chu Mohan said, turned his head sideways to Chu Wanxiang and asked, "Wanxiang, is the master in good health?"

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Taishi's health is not bad."

"In that case, I'll be relieved." Chu Mohan waved his hand and motioned for Chu Wanxiang to leave first.

"The minister retired."

When Chu Wanxiang walked away, Chu Mohan said to Chu Mubai, "Let's go."

Chu Mubai responded, and the two walked all the way, Chu Mubai hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Did Your Majesty and the Lord of Wanxiang really break up?"

Chu Mohan paused, turned his head to stare at Chu Mubai, his eyes showed sadness and guilt, and said slowly, "I and her...... It's impossible."

Chu Mubai was stunned: "Why?"

"I ...... I don't love her anymore."

Chu Mubai looked at Chu Mohan in surprise.

Chu Mohan turned around and continued to walk forward: "I thought, maybe I misunderstood her."

Chu Mubai followed closely behind and caught up with Chu Mohan and persuaded, "Your Majesty, my brother thinks that the Late Xiang County Lord is not the kind of person you say. You might as well try to get along and make a decision."
