Jun Shaochen never dreamed that this masked man in black would be Chunyu Qinghua, the person beside his father and whom he trusted most.
When Su Zimo saw Chunyu Qinghua, she suddenly thought of the man's robe. Why did she think it looked familiar? It turned out to be Chunyu Qinghua.
"Yes, it's me." Chunyu Qinghua's face turned cold.
"You let Rong'er go, I will bear all the charges alone."
"No, Brother Hua, you have helped Rong'er too much. How can Rong'er live alone and let Brother Hua die for Rong'er?"
Jun Yuerong stepped forward and took Chunyu Qinghua's arm. She was already Brother Hua's woman. If she wanted to live, they would live together. If she wanted to die, they would die together.
His eyes turned to Su Zimo, "Are you Su Zimo?"
"Exactly." Su Zimo nodded indifferently.
"You ruined everything for me."
Su Zimo raised her eyes and glanced at Jun Yuerong.
"Did I ruin everything for you, or did you ruin everything for yourself?"
Su Zimo asked in a cold voice.
"how do I say this?"
Jun Yuerong suppressed the anger in his heart and looked coldly at the woman who destroyed the pagoda he had built with his own hands.
Su Zimo opened her red lips lightly and said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with you dreaming of being a queen. What is wrong is that you are not strong enough. Your strength is not enough to support your success, so you failed."
"Be strong, just two words. You have made me worthless. There are many strong people in the world, but no one can be like me."
Jun Yuerong roared out of control!
"You, Su Zimo, didn't commit suicide just because of a divorce letter. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
Jun Yuerong shed tears silently.
Chunyu Qinghua looked at her with a heartbroken expression, and gently wiped the tears from her face with his big, knuckled hands.
"Yes, the cowardly Su Zimo chose to commit suicide for a piece of paper to cancel the engagement. Unfortunately, she did not die. Women are weak, but mothers are strong. My three children have become my strong backing, but it is hard to walk. , when I look back and see the innocent and harmless smiles of the children, my heart can be strong again.”
Su Zimo said calmly, then changed the topic and said: "The other thing is that your strength cannot be directly proportional to what you want to do. The fake princess's matter is clumsy and can easily be seen by others. There was a flaw, you were too impatient, and when you heard that you were going to be married to the prince of Zisang Kingdom, you thought of faking your own death, which was also a way for you to expose yourself."
"If it weren't for you, how could it fail?"
Chunyu Qinghua said angrily, Rong'er's heart must be so painful and unwilling.
"This is a coincidence. The people you arranged in the dark are so stupid. If my two sons had not been imprisoned, maybe the princess would be really dead now, and your plan could proceed smoothly. .”
"Your two sons have been rescued from prison, why are you still forcing each other so hard?"
Jun Yuerong stopped crying, and the rest was filled with anger.
"Without checking the truth, my two sons will always be suspected."
"you… ."
Su Zimo looked away and stopped arguing with Jun Yuerong. Poor people must be hateful. What Jun Yuerong is left with now will not be self-blame and regret, but unwillingness.
"Mr. Chunyu, Yuerong, you must go back with me. My father must already know about this matter. Go back and explain the reasons and let my father make a decision."
"Your Highness, for the sake of brother and sister, can you let Rong'er leave and give Rong'er a way to live?"
Chunyu Qinghua had a pleading look on his face. He couldn't afford to bet that this time there would be more misfortune than good. He knew the Haoyue Emperor too well, and Jun Shaochen would also suffer a greater blow.
"I'm afraid not." Jun Shaochen insisted. He also had something he wanted to know.
Upon hearing this, Chunyu Qinghua seemed to have made a decision and stretched his hand towards the wall.
"Chun Yu Qinghua, if you want you and Princess Yuerong to fall into the abyss of eternal destruction, you can press the switch, as long as you will not regret it."
Su Zimo quickly spoke out to stop her. There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, but it was inaudible.
Chunyu Qinghua's hand shook and slowly retracted it.
"What the owner of the village means, is there any room for redemption?"
Su Zimo narrowed her eyes, Chunyu Qinghua was really thoughtful.
Mu Yunxuan's eyes moved.
Asked: "Mo'er, what do you want to do?"
"It depends on whether Mr. Chunyu and Princess Yuerong can cooperate."
"What do you want to know?"
"What's your reason for doing this?"
Chunyu Qinghua lowered his eyes and thought twice about telling Su Zimo and the others the truth.
"Brother Hua..."
"If you tell me, there is still a chance for everything. After all, Emperor Haoyue is not present. His Highness is kind-hearted. This is your only chance."
Su Zimo knew there must be a story behind this, and she would do this partly because of Mo Niang.
Maybe, Chunyu Qinghua and the others know nothing but can't say for certain.
"Brother Hua..." Jun Yuerong shook his head at him.
"Rong'er, please calm down, okay? Didn't Rong'er say that you want to be with me forever?" Chunyu Qinghua's tone was very gentle. Rong'er was now so fragile that he was vulnerable.
"Okay! Brother Hua, Rong'er listens to you."
As if she had made up her mind, Jun Yuerong took Chunyu Qinghua's arm. Brother Hua had done so much for her, and she couldn't let him die with her. Since she had the chance, she might as well give it a try.
Chunyu Qinghua turned to look at Jun Shaochen: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Jun Shaochen smiled gently: "After listening, I will give you the answer."
"Okay!" Chunyu Qinghua knew that Jun Shaochen had a kind heart, maybe...!
Mu Yunxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Although it could save their lives, what was Mo'er's reason for doing this? Mo'er's heart was too soft.
"Rong'er does this because of difficulties." After Chunyu Qinghua finished speaking, he calmed down and said again: "Rong'er is not the daughter of Concubine Li, but the daughter of the empress. The empress separated Concubine Li and her The daughters were swapped."
Except for Jun Shaochen, brothers Su Zimo, Mu Yunxuan, and Su Yue all widened their eyes in surprise.
"Then, that child...?" Su Zimo was almost certain that that child was Jun Shaochen.
"Yes, Your Highness is Concubine Li's son. When Rong'er overheard this incident when she was twelve years old, her world was in darkness. At that time, I often followed my father into the palace. Inadvertently, I met I met Rong'er, and over time, the two of them fell in love with each other. Later, after knowing the pain in Rong'er's heart, I helped Rong'er slowly plan all this, and let Rong'er go on a road of no return."
Chunyu Qinghua lowered his eyes in regret, it was all his fault.
"Brother Chunyu, this is not your fault."
Chunyu Qinghua patted her hands and held them together tightly. No matter whose fault it was, it didn't matter now. What mattered was that they both survived.
"Queen Ji Wuer has a dignified appearance and impressive momentum. I never expected that she would do such a thing. The emperor's family is really ruthless. It's not as good as the happy and harmonious family of ordinary people!"
Su Zimo turned around and looked at Jun Shaochen, who looked in pain, and was startled. He...
"Presumably Your Highness already knows about this?"
Jun Shaochen nodded, "Yes, I only found out about it not long ago after hearing the conversation between the Queen and the Duke." Jun Shaochen lowered his eyes and hid the pain on his face.
"I was unwilling to be given up and abandoned just because I was a girl. In order to prove that I was better than men, I planned all this. Unexpectedly, I ended up harming Brother Hua."
Jun Yuerong shook her head in pain. Even if she died, she would save Brother Hua's life.
"The life in this royal family is quite chaotic! Emperor Haoyue didn't even know that his child had been exchanged. Since the child had been exchanged, the queen would definitely kill someone and silence her. Did the queen kill Concubine Li?"
"Crack!" sound! Su Zimo slapped Su Qi on the head with her hand: "What are you talking nonsense? You are not young anymore, don't you know how to be more stable? You can speak whatever you want! If you have this time to practice your mouth, please give me more time Go study and practice!"
Su Qi was confused by his mother's sudden anger, and asked strangely: "Mother, Qi'er has never offended you today, why do you always target me?"
Although Mu Yunxuan felt a little uncomfortable, he still advised: "Qi'er, your mother is right, you should be obedient, your mother is doing this for your own good!"
Su Qi curled his lips and looked unhappy: "I was just talking casually, and there are no outsiders here. Is it possible that Emperor Haoyue would still say such things to Qi'er here?"
Su Qi shook his head, he was henpecked, his father was severely henpecked, and his mother was a tigress.
Su Zimo looked at Jun Yuerong and said: "When you come to Emperor Haoyue, there is no help at all. You can tell Emperor Haoyue the truth, and there will be room for redemption."
Su Zimo looked at Jun Shaochen again: "Your Highness, Zimo knows that you are also in a dilemma, but many things can be handled as appropriate."
Jun Shaochen calmed down and smiled slightly: "Master, I'm afraid it's too late. My father's secret guards may have discovered this matter. Mr. Chunyu, Yuerong, now you follow the instructions of me first." When the palace goes back, I believe that my father doesn’t want to make a big deal out of this matter, and I will try my best to save your lives.”
"As long as I can survive, I will take Rong'er away from Emperor Haoyue and find a peaceful place to live a stable life without any desire for revenge."
"Mr. Chunyu's character is trustworthy."
Mu Yunxuan suddenly spoke up, and Su Zimo looked at him in surprise. When would he speak for others
"Mo'er, why are you looking at me like this?"
Mu Yunxuan looked at him funny.
"You have changed a lot." Su Zimo thought for a while and said.
"After this incident, it is indeed difficult for Qinghua to stay with Emperor Haoyue. This means that Qinghua will not have any authority, status, or voice in the court from now on. Death and leaving are the last options. Good choice." Chunyu Qinghua said silently.
"Then let's go back first!" Jun Shaochen said.
People who have no hope of promotion want to maximize their current best situation and live a stable life. Leaving is indeed the best choice!
It was already late at night when we returned to the palace.
Su Zimo asked the Su Yue brothers to go back and rest first, while he and Mu Yunxuan went into the palace with Jun Shaochen and the others to meet the saint.
In the Jiaoyang Palace, Emperor Haoyue, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Jun Yuerong and Chunyu Qinghua. Emperor Haoyue looked a little tired with disappointment on his face.
"Father."
"My emperor."
Chunyu Qinghua and Jun Yuerong knelt heavily in front of Emperor Haoyue.
"Rong'er, Qinghua, you guys let me down so much."
Emperor Haoyue shook his head and closed his eyes in pain.
"Father! It's Rong'er's fault. Rong'er was unwilling to be abandoned by his biological mother, so he did such a rebellious thing."
"Rong'er, you are confused! Your biological mother did not abandon you..." Emperor Haoyue suddenly felt that something was wrong and asked fiercely: "What do you mean by your biological mother?"
"Father, can you ask the Queen to come over? This matter has something to do with the Queen."
Junjun Yuerong suggested.
"Precisely, Eunuch Qin, I will ask the queen to come over immediately."
"Yes, my emperor!" Eunuch Qin did not dare to express his anger. The atmosphere in the palace tonight was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
When Ji Wu'er was taken outside the Jiaoyang Palace, she felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
"Eunuch Qin, something happened in Jiaoyang Palace. It's so late. Did something happen?"
The queen stopped and asked Eunuch Qin.
"Empress, this servant only knows that Princess Yuerong and Mr. Chunyu are back, and Emperor Haoyue asked the Empress to come over."
After saying that, Eunuch Qin walked forward again, hunched over.
Aunt Huang supported the queen and followed behind her uneasily.
"I have seen my emperor!"
The Queen bowed respectfully.
"Rong'er, the Queen is here, you can speak."
Emperor Haoyue did not know how to be the queen, but looked at Jun Yuerong.
"Rong'er, it's great that you're okay!"
The queen walked to Jun Yuerong excitedly.
"Don't come near me." Jun Yuerong shouted excitedly.
The smile on the queen's face froze. She was so happy to see Yuerong back that she forgot for a moment that she and Yuerong were not close.
Jun Yuerong glanced at the Queen and said cruelly: "Father, back then, it was the Queen who exchanged Rong'er and the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince are Concubine Li's flesh and blood."
"Rong'er, what are you talking about?" the queen roared angrily, her words could make her fall into the abyss.
Jun Yuerong raised his eyes, smiled coldly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I talking nonsense? You know it yourself. When I was twelve years old, I heard you and Aunt Huang mention this matter. As for Concubine Li How he died is really only known to you."
Upon hearing this, the queen completely lost consciousness and didn't believe what Jun Yuerong said at all. How did Rong'er know? She couldn't possibly know
Su Zimo looked at them coldly. It would be strange if Jun Yuerong didn't know that he would do such a thing.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, living in this palace, you will be exposed to such schemes and intrigues. Jun Yuerong is smart and keen, but not good at scheming!
"Bang!" Emperor Haoyue slammed the sandalwood table and shouted angrily: "Queen, what else do you have to say now?"
The queen suddenly came to her senses and knelt on the ground.
"My emperor, she must not be Rong'er. You are so brave. You dare to pretend to be Rong'er and frame me."
The queen pointed at Jun Yuerong angrily.
Jun Yuerong looked at the queen with a sarcastic smile. How could a person who couldn't even recognize her own daughter deserve to be a mother
"Ahem...!"
"Rong'er, don't get excited." Chunyu Qinghua hugged Jun Yuerong anxiously.
Jun Yuerong looked at Chunyu Qinghua with a painful smile.
"Brother Hua, Rong'er's life is very sad, isn't it? It's okay to be abandoned..."
"No, Rong'er, you forgot, you still have me."
Chunyu Qinghua held her hand tightly and gave her the strength to support her.
"Yes! Rong'er and Brother Hua."
Jun Yuerong leaned in Chunyu Qinghua's arms and cried softly.
Emperor Haoyue looked at them with solemn eyebrows and a look of pain on his face. If he was wrong, it was all his fault as a father for failing to protect his children.
The queen was anxiously thinking of a way to escape. She had almost reached this position back then, so how could she not have the desire to compete. That's why she changed Rong'er and Chen'er back then. She did not hesitate to use tricks to make the emperor come to the throne. With the emperor's feelings for Li Manqi, how could he step into her bedroom again? For the sake of her future, could she not make plans for herself? But she did it so secretly that in the end, she was still discovered.
"Someone, put the Queen and Nanny Huang into the sky prison and wait for their punishment."
Emperor Haoyue ordered with a ruthless expression.
Four guards walked in quickly.
Aunt Huang closed her eyes, already knowing in her heart that this would be the result.
"No, my emperor, you can't believe her words easily. She must not be Rong'er. She deliberately framed my concubine."
the queen shouted in a fit of emotion.
"Pull it down."
"Yes, my emperor."
Four guards came forward and dragged the queen who was lying on the ground.
"Chen'er, why don't you speak? I am your mother-in-law!"
The queen looked at Jun Shaochen begging for help.
Jun Shaochen looked away. It wasn't that he had no feelings, but what she did was outrageous. If he saved her, how would his desperate mother feel at ease
The queen looked at him with a look of despair, and the guards dragged him away with an ashen look on her face.
Su Zimo sighed slightly. At the very least, she thought that being a royal child was really not that glamorous! To use, to be used, is nothing more than that.
"Rong'er, get up. Father doesn't blame you. If he does, blame him for not being able to protect you properly."
Emperor Haoyue didn't know why. He only knew that Rong'er's life had not been easy for so many years.
"Father, you don't blame Rong'er. Rong'er is really grateful to father, but father and brother Hua are all for Rong'er's good. Rong'er begs father to spare brother Hua too!"
"Qinghua, I ask you, do you really love Rong'er?"
Emperor Haoyue looked at Chunyu Qinghua with a serious face.
Although their betrayal hit him hard, she was his daughter and the person he trusted most after all.
"Back to my emperor, Qinghua and Rong'er truly love each other."
Chunyu Qinghua looked at Emperor Haoyue with a firm face.
From that firm look, Emperor Haoyue saw trust.
"Eunuch Qin, please tell the world that Princess Yuerong died on March 18th due to a long illness without medical treatment. All restaurants and shops in the capital of Haoyue Kingdom will be closed for three days and all entertainment activities will be stopped to mourn for the princess."
"I obey, my emperor!"
Eunuch Qin responded respectfully and walked out.
"Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you, my emperor!"
Chunyu Qinghua knew that Emperor Haoyue's decision was the greatest tolerance he could show.
"Live the life you want! In this deep palace, my father cannot give you the life you want. Yunxuan, your cultivation is good! Send them out of the city overnight?"
After saying that, Emperor Haoyue held his forehead, closed his eyes, and didn't want to say anything more.
Jun Shaochen wanted to say something, but looking at his father's look, he knew that he wanted to be alone.
"Father, my sons and ministers are also going to see Rong'er off."
Chunyu Qinghua and Jun Yuerong looked at each other, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Outside the city, it was so quiet that it made people feel panicked.
Chunyu Qinghua looked at Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan gratefully.
"Thank you! Qinghua will always remember this kindness."
"Life is a life of ups and downs. Chunyu Qinghua is tolerant and responsible enough, and can face life and death together. Princess Yuerong is a blessed person."
Su Zimo looked at them with a smile, Chunyu Qinghua would definitely be able to give Jun Yuerong a happy life.
"Su Zimo, thank you! Also, I'm really sorry for letting your two sons go to jail for no reason. If I could live my life over again, I hope I could get to know you earlier and be friends with you."
Hearing this, Su Zimo smiled, and everything was settled.
"As long as you don't mind it, princess, we are friends now."
"Is it really possible?" Jun Yuerong looked at Su Zimo excitedly.
"Hello! My name is Su Zimo. From today on, we are friends."
Su Zimo stretched out her hand and looked at Jun Yuerong with a smile.
Jun Yuerong looked at it, a little confused and didn't know how to respond.
Su Zimo reached out and held her hand, "This is the beginning of our friendship."
Jun Yuerong held the warmth in her hands and looked at Su Zimo's knowing smile, feeling like she had been reborn.
