The fact that Wu Ling was made the crown prince instantly set off stormy waves in Beijing.

From the princes and nobles to the palace maids and eunuchs, all of them were shocked.

Who is Wu Ling?

I've never heard of it!

Inquire carefully, and it is even more shocking!

The wild girl who was passed back from the emperor a year ago is not as good as other princes and princesses, and she has always been just a little transparent in the palace.

However, it was such a usually mediocre, even mediocre person, who was named the crown prince by the Great Zhou Emperor.

According to the long life span of the Great Zhou Emperor, even if he becomes a prince, he may not be able to become an emperor in the future.

But behind this, there is faint news that Wu Ling has a very good relationship with the prince of Zhenguo, and it seems that he has received the support of the prince of Zhenguo.

This is no small matter.

For a while, many people inside and outside the palace couldn't sit still.

After the family banquet, the Great Zhou Emperor left with Wu Ling, who looked ignorant, and everyone dispersed, without chatting, Princess Yuemei took Cheng Guang home with a serious face.

When she returned to the Guogong Mansion, Princess Yuemei hesitated for a moment before asking, "Guang'er, do you like that Wuling?" ”

Cheng Guang was puzzled: "Mother, why do you ask that?" ”

Princess Yuemei seemed to be a little helpless: "Today, the emperor asked you, you support Wu Ling so strongly, not because you like it, is it because you really think that Wu Ling's child has the appearance of an empress?" ”

Cheng Guang coughed, his face showing a bit of righteousness, "Mother, it's not that the child lied to you, I really think that Wuling has the posture of an empress." ”

Not only is there the appearance of an empress, but she can already see what she will look like as an empress in the future.

Princess Yuemei was angry and funny when she heard Cheng Guang say this, and finally didn't say anything more, just touched Cheng Guang's head dotingly.

"Okay, our family Guang'er has a unique vision, my mother will no longer say anything about you, but next time you must not express your optimism about a certain prince and princess, even if the emperor asks you, you have to have a bowl of water."

"Our family is too large, and you are the only heir of our family in the future, your words and deeds will be magnified countless times, and you can affect the situation of certain things, so you can't be clear about your position, and the battle for the crown prince is just that, and the battle for the throne must not be involved anymore."

Princess Yuemei said, pinching Cheng Guang's face again.

A wry smile appeared in Cheng Guang's eyes, "Okay mother, I'll pay more attention to the child next time." ”

That being said, in that case, Cheng Guang had no other choice, after all, he was just a stand-in for the son.

If you don't say so, if you offend the emperor, it is estimated that even if you will not expose his identity on the spot, you will not let him walk out of the palace alive.

Cheng Guang had no other choice.

Princess Yuemei nodded, and after explaining a few more words to Cheng Guang not to go out recently, she left thoughtfully, as if she was ready to talk to Cheng Zhihai.

After Princess Yuemei left, Cheng Guang also returned to the Vientiane Garden belonging to the prince.

In the Vientiane Garden, Qingluan sat by the lake, holding his cheek with one hand, staring at the lake with a dull gaze.

Under the light of the setting sun, the white face as jade reflects the touching beauty like crystal.

When Cheng Guang appeared at this time, Qingluan noticed it, and suddenly turned his head to look at Cheng Guang, first stunned, then seemed to be surprised, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Ran over quickly, looked at Cheng Guang left and right, and then touched Cheng Guang's body.

After confirming again that Cheng Guang was the stand-in, not the real son, he was surprised.

"You, you actually hid it?"

"Nothing happened, did it?"

"I thought you wouldn't be back."

"It's been hidden, but it's not completely hidden." Cheng Guang walked quickly to the gazebo and poured himself a sip of tea.

"What does that mean?" Qingluan was puzzled.

"The emperor knew my identity, but he didn't expose me on the spot."

Cheng Guang spoke slowly, his face calm.

Qingluan's body stiffened and froze in place.

"The Emperor knows? That, that, that......"

Even Qingluan didn't know why the emperor didn't reveal the identity of Cheng Guang's stand-in at this time, she was just the maid of the prince, she didn't tell her not to leave the house, and she didn't know so quickly that Wu Ling was made the prince.

If she knew what Cheng Guang said when Wu Ling was made the crown prince, she would probably know the reason.

At the moment, Cheng Guang calmed down, informed Qingluan of the cause and effect of the incident, and then said:

"Sister Qingluan, my stand-in road is probably coming to an end, I offended the emperor if I didn't say that, and I was dead, so I caused trouble to the prince."

"If you continue to play, maybe there will be some trouble, Sister Qingluan, you quickly communicate with the prince and let him come back quickly."

Qingluan sighed, his eyes lowered: "I guess it's not going to work, and I can't contact Shizi at this time." ”

"In the past, the prince of the world brought enough things to protect himself, and he left quietly alone, and until he came back, I had no way to contact the son."

Speaking of this, Qingluan's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was a little lacking in confidence, "Actually, the prince went out this time and left secretly, not just to go out to play, but also to ......"

"For what?" Cheng Guang was stunned, there are still things he doesn't know about his feelings?

"In order to avoid the head of the family, that is, Cheng Zhihai, the father of the son."

"What are you hiding from him?" This time, Cheng Guang was puzzled.

"The origin of the world's body has been damaged since he was a child, and his cultivation has endured great suffering, not to mention, even if he is instilled with a large amount of resources, the highest realm cannot break through the realm of the Three Rank Purple Mansion."

"The prince has already given up, but over the years, whenever the head of the family comes back, he often brings back extremely precious elixirs from outside to heal the prince's body, in an attempt to allow him to follow the path of cultivation."

"This is a good thing, but the process is extremely painful, once or twice, but I have been like this for more than ten years, and I have endured great pain, but my body has not improved in the slightest."

"This time, the prince is also trying to avoid the head of the family......"

When Qingluan said this, Cheng Guang was even more puzzled.

"It stands to reason that according to the status of the son of the world, even if you don't have to cultivate, you can still live a good life, with the elixir that can prolong your life, your lifespan can even be said to be not much worse than that of a cultivator, why do you have to be so ......"

Qingluan shook his head: "What you think is too beautiful, even if it is the Guogong Mansion, it is now in a worrying situation, in the court, many officials feel that the Zhenguo Mansion is too powerful, and the Lamp Department is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and then they are even more feared and rejected by officials." ”

"Outside the imperial court, because of the suppression of the Jianghu sect by the Lamp Division, countless sects of people began to be hostile to the Zhenguo Mansion, they had no scruples, and when the prince was attacked, it was done by a Jianghu sect."

"Although the ancestral tomb of the Jianghu sect in the back has been wiped out, the body of the prince has also been injured."

"Because there are opinions inside and outside the imperial court about the Zhenguo Mansion, it is inevitable that someone will assassinate the prince, which is why the prince rarely goes out and is trapped in the mansion, or in Kyoto."

Cheng Guang heard the twitch of the corners of his mouth, he probably understood, there is nothing wrong with the affection of Zhen Guogong itself, and he is respected by the world, but the lamp department of the father of the prince seems to be indifferent, attracting a lot of hatred......

It's no wonder why Cheng Zhihai has been sparing no effort to bring back the elixir from outside, wanting to heal the body of the prince and let him take the path of cultivation again.

If you don't practice, you don't have the strength, so you can only be trapped in the mansion all the time......

That's probably why his stand-in exists.

Cheng Guang's eyes flickered, and suddenly he thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Qingluan.

"No, Sister Qingluan, this time the father of the prince came back, is he going to let me deal with it?"

Qingluan nodded slightly with an unnatural expression.

"That's true."

Cheng Guang was dumbfounded.

Let him deal with Cheng Zhihai, this is basically an unsolvable situation.

Cheng Zhihai's control of the Lantern Division, which frightened countless people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is a person himself, where can he be compared to such a small Karami.

Even if he can avoid being discovered by Cheng Zhihai for a while, as long as Cheng Zhihai heals the body of the prince as usual, he will not be able to hide it after all.

The origin of Shizi's body was damaged, but he was not damaged!

Do you want to stab yourself forcibly??

This simply doesn't work, and it's impossible to make the injuries exactly the same.

"It's over......"

Cheng Guang's face was like ashes, and he looked at Qingluan with no love, "Sister Qingluan, you said that if I was found out by the head of the family, I was just a stand-in, what would happen to me?" ”

Qingluan's face hesitated, and he couldn't bear to turn his head......

He turned his head and looked me straight at me, bastard!

Cheng Guang's heart collapsed, knowing that Qingluan's meaning was that he would die if he was discovered.

knew that it was a mortal situation, what else was he so careful to do, joking?

It is nothing more than a matter of exposing a little earlier and exposing a little later.

There is a high probability that the prince will not come back.

At least I won't come back voluntarily for a short time!

"Okay, the head of the family may not kill you directly, I won't tell you, but also let you stabilize your mentality......"

"You have to insist on it now, try to hide it as much as possible, maybe the prince will intercede for you later."

"Now that His Majesty the Emperor knows about your existence, I don't know how long you can hide it, but you still have to try your best to maintain the identity of the prince and delay for some time."

"If it is exposed before the head of the family returns, the son of the world will be arrested in advance, but he will die more completely."

Qingluan comforted softly, she also felt a little pity for Cheng Guang's situation, knowing that Cheng Guang was almost certain to die.

However, during this time, he enjoyed the status treatment that the prince had, and Qingluan thought that paying a little price for it was reciprocal.

You must know that the fruit spiritual food that Cheng Guang usually eats is an existence that ordinary people can't touch in their lifetime, and for this alone, Qingluan doesn't think that the prince has treated Cheng Guang badly.

The life of the groom, in a sense, is not a fate.

A noble man's words are enough to decide his life and death.

Cheng Guang's face was ugly, and he couldn't accept this situation for a while.
