Chu Liuyue and Chu Ning followed Rong Xiu back to Prince Li's Mansion.
The people in Prince Li's Mansion seemed to have received the news, and they were extremely attentive and eager to Chu Ning and his daughter, as if they were welcoming their own family.
This made Chu Ning a little uncomfortable.
After sitting in Prince Li's Mansion for a while, Chu Ning wanted Rong Xiu to have a good rest, so he left with Chu Liuyue.
Rong Xiu sent a carriage to take the two back.
Chu Ning was unwilling to go to such trouble at first, but later she became too stubborn and had no choice but to agree.
The father and daughter got on the carriage and sat on each side.
The two faced each other silently.
Chu Ning looked at Chu Liuyue calmly, but hesitated to speak, as if he was considering how to speak.
"If you have anything to say, daddy, just say it." Chu Liuyue said softly.
Chu Ning hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Has there been something between you and King Li for a long time?"
Chu Liuyue laughed:
"What do you mean?"
Chu Ning paused:
"That's right. Did you already know that he was interested in you?"
"yes."
Chu Liuyue had no intention of hiding this.
"As you can imagine, King Li and I have indeed been in love with each other for a long time. That's why today's marriage was granted."
Although he had thought about it, Chu Ning was still a little surprised when he heard it with his own ears.
"When did this happen? Could it be that—when he saved you—"
"King Li saved me first. We didn't know each other at that time."
Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, the two gradually started to interact with each other after King Li returned.
In this case, it would be easier for him to accept it.
"Do you really like King Li?"
Chu Ning looked into Chu Liuyue's eyes and asked, looking serious.
Chu Liuyue nodded gently.
Chu Ning was stunned for a while before murmuring:
"That's good. That's good."
His expression was a bit complicated, like sadness and joy.
He knew Yue'er's character very well. If she wasn't really interested in King Li, she would never agree to today's marriage offer.
"Li Wang is a very nice person."
At least compared to Prince Rong Jin, I don't know how much stronger he is.
In the past, Yue'er had a bad taste and had liked Rong Jin for many years, and suffered a lot of humiliation and grievances for it.
But it's different now.
He could tell that King Li valued Yue'er very much, and it could even be said that he regarded her as a treasure.
He could finally rest assured.
"It's just King Li's body. Yue'er, can you check King Li's pulse? Is there any way you can help with it?"
He was born in the womb of his mother who died of King Li's illness. He had consulted countless heavenly doctors since he was a child, but he never got better.
Otherwise, he would not have been sent to Mingyue Tianshan to recuperate for many years, and he never even came back to the imperial capital.
Chu Liuyue looked at Chu Ning's worried look, and felt warm and funny in her heart.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will do my best. No matter what happens to King Li's health in the future, I will always take good care of him."
Chu Ning sighed and nodded.
"That's good."
He once hoped that Yue'er could marry an ordinary and healthy person and live a stable life.
But Yue'er has already shown amazing talent, and she will never be as simple and ordinary as ordinary people in the future.
"If your mother is still here, she will be very happy."
A flash of deep nostalgia flashed in Chu Ning's eyes.
Chu Liuyue felt sour in her heart.
For so many years, Chu Ning has been both a father and a mother, working hard to bring up Chu Liuyue, which is not sad enough for outsiders to understand.
She leaned forward a little and held Chu Ning's hand.
The father and daughter sat facing each other in silence for a long time, but the atmosphere was rare and warm and harmonious.
Snapped!
A crisp and loud slap sounded in the room.
The queen looked at Rong Jin standing in front of her with cold eyes.
"You're really crazy today!"
Rong Jin lowered his head and said nothing.
"I have long said that you should not take Chu Liuyue's idea! Did you just turn a deaf ear to it!? When I saw you lying on the hospital bed earlier, I thought you were just having a fever and talking nonsense. I didn't expect you to turn a blind eye today! How dare you run over and openly compete with Rong Xiu for Chu Liuyue!"
The queen's finger almost poked Rong Jin's forehead.
"What your father said today is right - you are so impatient in your position as the crown prince!"
Rong Jin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart. He finally couldn't help but refute:
"She was mine! Why did I—"
"You have already broken off your engagement with her!"
The queen suddenly raised her voice, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, slicing across Rong Jin's body.
"Don't forget, you were the one who proposed it at the beginning! What did you say at that time? You said that no matter what the cost, you would cancel the engagement and sever ties with Chu Liuyue! It's fine now. It's only been a few months. You It’s like the devil is stunned! How do you want others to see you as the prince! Do you know how much effort I spent to push you to the position of prince! "
The Queen's voice was already hysterical.
Rong Jin raised his eyes and saw that her face was distorted and there was deep resentment in her eyes.
He was startled, and then realized that the queen seemed to be particularly excited today.
He took a deep breath and lowered his voice, still a little unwilling.
"But...but why is it Rong Xiu?! How can that loser compare to me!? Looking at him like that, if he takes even two more steps, he might not be able to stand!"
When he thought that Chu Liuyue was actually given a marriage to such a person, he felt disgusted in his heart!
The queen's face was gloomy and she suddenly sneered.
"Why? Why do you say?! Rong Xiu asked your father in person, how could your father not agree! You are better than him in everything, but who let him have a charming mother!"
Even after so many years of death, his ghost still lingers!
She couldn't rob that woman back then, and now her son can't rob that woman's son either!
Doesn’t she hate it in her heart?
Only then did Rong Jin realize that the queen was acting like this because she remembered the people and things from back then.
The queen seemed to realize that she had lost her composure. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said word by word:
"In short, it is not easy to keep your position today. Your father can tolerate you once or twice, but he will never tolerate you a third time!"
Rong Jin pursed his lips:
"My son, I know my mistake."
"What's the use of knowing you're wrong? You have to find a way to make up for it!"
Rong Jin's eyes lit up:
"What can the queen do?"
The queen stared at him:
"Of course there is a way. But first, you swear: From now on, you will never mention Chu Liuyue again, and completely give up this idea!"
Rong Jin looked shocked.
"But Queen Mother, she is the only one my son likes to—"
The Queen looked at him warningly.
Rong Jin swallowed the rest of his words unconsciously.
After a long time, his fist was almost crushed, and then he finally said:
".yes."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softened a little, and she picked up the teacup on the side.
"The only way you can secure your position as prince now is to marry Situ Xingchen."
