Lu Chen smiled, his eyes shattered with laughter.
In such a dark night, he could only tell this to a wet nurse who had grown up with him. He didn't even dare to tell his mother, just because she would never be able to accept the truth... Lu Chen slowly walked to the window and suddenly pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window.
The night was already dark, and in the early hours of the morning, the room temperature outside had dropped below freezing. The night wind blew in, messing up his hair and covering the haze under his eyes.
He smiled softly, thinking of the night before his father's funeral...
Having had a high fever for so many days, his whole body was pale and expressionless. He collapsed on the bed, a limp ball, without any of his usual might. When he heard that his father had woken up and wanted to call him in first thing, he felt sad. From childhood to adulthood, everyone has said that he has a good life. Even if there is a very talented younger brother behind him, in the eyes of his father, he is always the only one. Even though he accidentally killed an attendant and his reputation among the people fell to the bottom, even though the emperor had been indifferent to him for a while, in the end, he just treated him lightly and let the matter pass.
When he returned to the imperial capital from D city, his father specially appointed the imperial doctor to tell him privately, hoping to bring him back to the palace without disturbing anyone, and to prevent his two good uncles from plotting rebellion.
Facts have proved that my father did have foresight.
However, his foresight was not limited to that of his uncle, but he had already made plans and acted upon them a long, long time ago...
Lu Chen pursed his lips and sneered.
The wet nurse who had been standing nearby looked at the person she almost raised with her own hands in astonishment. She seemed vaguely unfamiliar all of a sudden.
Where did the man who looked up and looked proud whenever he mentioned his father go
What happened that night
Why, looking at his face, there was a vague suffocating pain coming from his heart
Lu Chen was immersed in his own thoughts, and realized that in the eyes of others, he was already the opposite of the proud and arrogant prince...
He still remembered that he was surprised when he heard his father woke up, and rushed into the palace happily.
The father waved his hand, sent all the idle people away, and smiled gently at him. That smile was relaxed and relieved.
He seemed to be trying with all his strength to hold up his upper body, with a slight blush on his face, but the radiance in his eyes made his heart beat wildly.
For a person who has been ill for a long time, he could vaguely guess the truth about this sudden scene, even if he didn't have an imperial doctor by his side.
At that time, he almost rushed over, carefully raised the pillow for his father, and helped him lean on it.
Father tilted his head and smiled gently at him. There was satisfaction and calmness in his smile, as if he had finally achieved his wish. "It's good that you can suppress both your uncles."
Although his voice was breathy, there was no hesitation in the look in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at a knife that he had been sharpening for a long time. The blade was sharp and blood could be seen when it was pulled out of the sheath, which was his most gratifying result.
At that moment, my heart was a little complicated. It would be a bit far-fetched to say that it was he who suppressed the two uncles. In fact, most of them were drawn by Leng Yiyao, and he just followed her path. However, in front of his father, he didn't know what to say. Will it disappoint him
I have been cultivating Xinxin Nian for so many years, but in the end, I did not rely entirely on my own strength...
He lowered his head, feeling guilty. Before he could speak, his eyes were completely fixed.
My father was leaning against the bed, but he was in particularly good spirits. It was as if his mind had broken away from this body and was completely heading towards freedom. But he couldn't help himself, staring at the photo he held tightly in his hand - the photo he once found on his bedside table!
In the photo, the woman with silver hair and silver eyes is as beautiful as a stream of light. Her eyes are silver and translucent, just like the snowy scene in the North, which is breathtaking. The boy on her knee seemed to be smiling slightly at the visitor, with the corners of his lips raised sweetly. He was too handsome to describe!
His face suddenly stiffened.
He stared blankly at the photo.
For the first time, for the first time, my father held it in his hand as if no one else was around, as if he could no longer bear to leave it on the bedside table. Only by holding it in your hand can you get the closest.
He opened his mouth, but before he spoke, his father seemed to know what he was going to ask. Instead, he smiled slowly, with an unpredictable taste in his eyes, which made people feel chilled: "I know why, no matter what, for so many years, No matter how much others advise me, I am so partial to you?"
Others said that he was biased. I don't care whether I care about such a good little son or not, but I insist on pampering such a stupid eldest son like a treasure in my palm every day.
The royal position should be occupied by the most capable person. However, no matter what Lu Ming did or what his reputation among the people was, it seemed to have no impact on him at all. In his eyes, he always only looked at the eldest son.
fatuous-
It's not like he didn't know that some people were scolding him behind his back.
He had also relied on his wrists to reach the throne step by step. How could he not know that compared to the "flawless" younger son, Lu Chen was slightly inferior in both temperament and talent.
"Lu Ming is too thoughtful, cold and arbitrary, leaving no escape route." Lu Chen still remembered that at that time, before he could answer his father's question, his father had already continued speaking as if nothing had happened, but that look in his eyes was direct. The photo that fell on his palm seemed to be constantly comforting the two people on it. Finally, his eyes fell firmly on the silver-haired boy. Finally, even his eyes were full of smiles: "That's it. Because Lu Ming is too royal-minded, in his concept, any opponent should be eradicated! He will definitely not tolerate other princes getting in his way. And you, although domineering, knew of his existence from the beginning , but you have been proud since you were a child, and even though you know everything, you have never done anything to him. But if Lu Ming succeeds me, let alone whether 'he' can survive, whether you can survive is a question mark."
The so-called "people's will", without any effort, how could a prince be praised by everyone
He also came from a prince's background, and he knew that behind the splendor and splendor, every prince had a face that was full of calculations!
But Lu Chen was different. He was raised by pampering since he was a child. In front of him, all privileges are taken for granted. Naturally, he would not imitate Lu Ming's tricks, nor would he be as cold-blooded and ruthless as him. From this point of view, from the very beginning, his teaching method was different. Even if he makes a mistake, he will always be forgiven. He hoped that he could integrate this attitude into his blood and transfer it to M.
"Perhaps it's because I'm getting older, I'm getting softer and softer now. The last thing I want to see is for you brothers to kill each other." A soft sigh sounded in my ears.
Lu Chen thought of his shock and anger when he heard this sentence, and felt that everything was shattered!
No-
He sneered at the time. It’s not that my father has become soft-hearted because of his age, but that he has always been most partial to the illegitimate son!
For so many years, everyone only regarded him as the father to pave the way for him.
wrong! All wrong!
Wrong typo!
From the beginning, it was because of that damn illegitimate son that the father decided to let him succeed to the throne!
In terms of sharp means and amazing courage, my father and everyone else had the same idea, and Lu Ming was the most suitable successor. However, the more outstanding Lu Ming is and the more he has the character of a royal model, the more he is afraid that the other party will kill and silence him without any scruples after knowing the existence of M.
"Why are you telling me all this now without fear that I will regret it?" He remembered that his lips were trembling at the time, but he still asked the question.
Why should we have a showdown at the last moment
Why should the lie of fatherly kindness and filial piety be revealed all at once
Isn't he afraid that he will completely become a madman with power
So many years. Even if you just keep a pet casually, it should be affectionate.
Why did he expose all the illusions at this last moment so that he could not even deceive himself and others
Why? Just for that damn illegitimate child!
"I don't have much time left, and you are my only legitimate son now." His father, even when his fuel ran out, he still remained wise and strong. Compared to his anger and despair, he seemed As if the secret that had been hidden for so many years was finally solved, he slowly exhaled, "He will not argue with you. He hates the royal family. For so many years, he has not even been willing to set foot here. It's not that you don't know." Traveling far away from home, he didn't even want to take a second look at his biological father. If I hadn't been "critically ill" this time and I was so anxious to find him, I might not have been able to take another look at him before I died. "I just hope that he can live a good life, not in the name of an illegitimate child, but in the name of his own wishes, so that he can do whatever he wants in this life."
In the beginning, because of his identity, their mother and son were exiled. In fact, the Ice Territory clan was massacred and almost wiped out. He has never forgotten those past...
"Why! Why have you trained me like a tool for so many years, just to make him worry-free for the rest of his life! This is unfair to me!" Lu Chen remembered that his eyes were dry at the time. The good father in his eyes was the most important in his heart. The person you respect has actually treated yourself differently for so many years because of an illegitimate child.
Nothing is more humiliating than this, and nothing is more desperate than this.
It was like he had been living a lie for so many years, becoming a puppet for others to manipulate.
His father, however, just sat there quietly, watching him collapse and watch him go crazy, without saying a word for a long time.
He doesn't deny it.
What is Royal
madman!
They are all crazy!
In order to make up for his guilt, he elevated himself to the throne, just so that M would have no hidden dangers in his life and would not be stabbed in the back by the royal family.
But what about him? Why has he been treated like a monkey for so many years
"You have the throne, and this ring will legitimately clear the last obstacle for you." My father stroked the ring in his hand and smiled faintly at him, "After all, you are the final winner of the royal family."
Two sons, only one throne.
M has hated this position since he was a child and would never take it over. Lu Chen, on the other hand, is straightforward and still retains his original intention.
The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. He didn't want them to go the same way he did, where brothers would kill each other and live alone forever.
"Don't think I don't know. You are M's mother and you will never forget her!" Yes, the finger ring is the orthodox token of inheriting the throne. He understood that his father was telling him his last words.
Because, if you don’t say it, there will be no chance!
Before he died, he wanted to get a promise from him that he would never hurt M. To this end, he eliminated all obstacles in front of the throne and used that finger to tell the world that he was the destined next emperor.
However, isn't this Chi Guoguo's conditional exchange cutting his heart with a knife
He remembered the mother and son, and how his father would not set foot in the rooms of other women in the harem for a long, long time because of that woman with silver hair and silver eyes. My mother-in-law almost went crazy over this!
He remembers them all.
However, so many years have passed.
He thought that everything had disappeared with the wind.
He thought that his father had already imprinted the past in his mind, and only took it out to reflect on it when he was desolate.
But he didn't expect that after so many years, he would be tricked.
The father has deep affection for the mother and son, but what about him? Where is his mother-in-law
After so many years, faced with the eldest princess's aggressiveness and Lu Ming's various actions, what about him and his mother-in-law? Where is the father
"You have to understand. People can have feelings, but emperors can't." The sickly man in front of the window seemed to smile in the face of his hoarse voice. The pity in his eyes flashed, and finally, the king's calmness was restored: "This is the last lesson I will teach you before I die. If you want to be strong, then you must have no worries."
Yesterday is gone, and everything else is in the past.
From now on, you are king. Keep moving forward with a strong heart.
….
The wet nurse looked at the motionless Lu Chen in shock. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but could not say a word.
At that time, the appearance of the Ice Domain woman was not easy for the royal family. Even the emperor who was in power at that time did not hesitate to cause a bloody storm and sent people to massacre the woman's entire mother clan in cold blood.
However, she really didn't expect that for so many years, in the eyes of outsiders, the prince who was cherished by the emperor was nothing more than a father-son transaction.
She stood up and suddenly held Lu Chen's hand.
Just like when he was a child, he didn't dare to sleep alone in a dark room. She seemed to want to pass on all the warmth in her body to him and give him all the courage.
Lu Chen was startled by the temperature. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the other person's eyes were slowly becoming moist. However, on his wrinkled face, he suppressed it and refused to show any expression.
This was the last dignity she gave him.
He smiled and said nothing, but opened another bottle of wine: "No one is allowed to talk about what happened tonight outside this door."
The wet nurse nodded and closed the window considerately. The night wind was too cold, and she was afraid that if his heart got colder, he would really be unable to keep warm. After doing all this, she bowed, lowered her head, and slowly disappeared at the door of the room like a quiet shadow.
She didn't want to stop him anymore. He feels bitter, so he can drink if he wants. After all, people have to find a way to vent...
Lu Chen raised the wine bottle expressionlessly and took a big gulp.
His collar was wet with wine, but he had no time to pay attention and just smiled coldly. There seemed to be flames flashing through his eyes.
He would never mention the words he just said to his mother and concubine. After all, this kind of pain is enough for one person. She has finally survived until now. He is unwilling to expose these lies and completely expose the "love" of her life.
In such a huge palace, there is not even a single person who can talk.
He suddenly thought of Leng Yiyao, but his eyes darkened.
Compared to him, she is too smart. Even if there is a little clue, she can find out the truth of that year.
Now, he and she have become blood relatives.
He just felt his heart was bright red!
Why, I can’t love it, I can’t get it.
Before his death, his father taught him a lesson so that he could have no worries, but how could he do it
He lowered his eyes, feeling desolate in his heart...
While the palace was sleepless all night, the atmosphere in the Marshal's Mansion was particularly different that night.
Leng Yiyao was carried back to the Marshal's Mansion by Hemo.
As soon as they stepped through the threshold, all the guards on guard had stunned expressions.
In the past, Miss Leng could not be said to be repulsive to others, but in public places, she was rarely so close to the Marshal. What happened tonight
Hemo's face didn't look like something bad had happened.
All the guards subconsciously turned their attention to Frey, who was walking at the back, only to see that he kept his head lowered. Apparently, he didn't notice the movement around him.
Frey was really shocked tonight.
The young merchant lady whom I met by chance in D City turned out to be the daughter of the eldest princess.
If you think about it this way, it turns out that he is also of royal blood.
God, are you kidding me
Lu Chen, who had been chasing Miss Leng, suddenly became an uncle. To be honest, even he felt a little sympathy for her now.
However, as the owner of so many messy things tonight, ordering the whipping of her sister in front of all the guests was already domineering enough. She turned a blind eye to the eldest princess's attempts to retain her and her hesitation. Passed by. What a ruthless character...
He raised his head and glanced at Hemo, who held Leng Yiyao tightly in his arms and wished he could hold her in his heart. Frey shook his head.
In this world, I am afraid that only someone as strong as a marshal can remain as immovable as a mountain. From then on, his feelings for Miss Leng became even deeper.
We really are not a family, and we don’t enter the same house.
Thinking of Leng Yiyan being carried out with blood all over his body, he shook his head. Leng Yiyao's reputation will probably become even more legendary from now on.
Leng Yiyao actually knew how colorful and complicated the eyes that fell on her along the way were.
At first, everyone was incomprehensible and stunned that she actually asked her face to face and that her sister was in the slave punishment. Later, when they understood her life experience, they couldn't believe it. After Lu Chen appeared, he looked at the gossip between the emperor and her, and then became as quiet as ice. He was deeply afraid of making Lu Chen go crazy when he learned the truth.
Now, there are surprised and guessing looks from everyone in the Marshal's Mansion.
She was willing to be quietly held by Hemo all the time, not caring about the surprise and speculation in the eyes around her.
In fact, there is nothing surprising or speculative.
Leng Yiyao smiled softly, raised her head, and looked at Hemo who was in a good mood.
This man, since he discovered her true nature at night, just like catching her pigtails, turned into a cat that has been stealing sex.
If he had maintained his grace before, now he was completely revealing his true nature!
In his eyes, there was no difference whether she was the daughter of a merchant or a princess. What he valued more was her essence.
As he said, they were both born the same.
Hemo discovered that although Leng Yiyao's expression did not change at all after he came back, his eyes always fell faintly somewhere in the sky. It seems that he is thinking about something.
At that moment, he had a vague feeling that her whole body had become ethereal, and even though she was held in his arms, it was still a bit unreal.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" He thought for a while, even if he already knew who his biological mother was, uncovering the past face to face would still have an impact on her. After all, in this world, blood is thicker than water.
Leng Yiyao's thoughts, which were originally flying in the sky, suddenly became a little bit dumbfounded when he said these words.
She was staring at the sky, not in a daze. I just felt that no one in the world would know that I actually had no feelings at all about the eldest princess's excitement tonight.
Regardless of whether she was left in the Leng family out of her own free will or because of amnesia caused by the car accident, it actually didn't matter to her.
After all, she just gave birth to this body, and it had nothing to do with her soul.
However, Lu Chen's shock and despair at the moment she learned about his blood relationship with her tonight made her feel a little homesick.
In this place where even the galaxy is different from her original world, after she has gone around and been reborn so many times, do her relatives still remember her, remember her soul floating in another world...
When she came back to her senses, she found Helmer staring straight at her, with deep concern in his eyes.
Suddenly, her heart felt warm. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but make an analogy: "If it were you, the person who should be the closest to you, but you have nothing to do with you for so many years, what would you do if we meet again?" Whether it was forced or subjective reasons, the existence of this mother disappeared from her mind after she was born. Now, what if we uncover the past
If someone else asked this question, Hemo would not even look at the other person. However, when the words came out of her mouth, he put himself in her shoes and rarely took it seriously: "We are strangers."
In this world, any emotion means caring.
As a person who has never had any connection with her since she was a child, even if it is blood relationship. Family love means everything beyond just giving life. For a person who has never had any contact with him, feeling like a stranger is the most real reaction.
He fully understood the meaning of her question.
Only when you don't care can your heart be as calm as water. Otherwise, she would either be resentful or envious of this mother, and she would definitely not be as indifferent as she is now.
"That's right." She relaxed and smiled, her vision returned to normal, she walked quietly to the coffee table and poured a glass of water. When she finished drinking all the water in the glass, she turned around and smiled softly, her face full of beauty: "I haven't congratulated you yet, it's really a good idea!"
Hemo looked at the gleaming eyes in front of him and felt that his heart was beating faster than before.
He leaned back and sat on the black leather sofa, showing off his elegant style, "What do you want to congratulate me for?"
Tonight, she was the real protagonist. Let alone taking action, he had very little time to speak today.
Leng Yiyao looked at the other party's impeccable smile indifferently, and thought in her heart, pretending to be stupid because of her cleverness
"Last time you showed up at the Royal Mask Gala, you could use the excuse that you were wearing a mask. No one knew who you were, so you entered the venue unnoticed. So, what about tonight?" Tonight, Lu Chen seemed to be able to No invitation was sent to him alone.
If she guessed correctly, Chen Zhifan's uncle got drunk this afternoon and showed up at the dinner, but it was just because it was originally arranged for him to attend the banquet on behalf of the military community.
Helmer had no intention of showing up at all.
Later, he changed his mind temporarily.
You must know that Lu Chen had just ascended the throne. Inside and outside, up and down, the remnants of the two grand dukes existed. Lu Chen should have spent a lot of effort to eliminate dissidents.
In addition, the captain of the guard has just become the person in charge of security in the palace, so all guests at tonight's banquet should have been carefully checked to prevent any mistakes.
Under such circumstances, he can come and go without even knowing it...
Now, can it be said that not only the military community is surrounded by him like an iron barrel, but also his people in the royal family are capable of reaching the sky
Helmer paused and looked at her quietly.
What is "knowing the smallest details"? What does "careful thinking" mean
At this moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, wishing that she could be integrated into his own flesh and blood!
If he thinks this way, he will naturally act this way.
Leng Yiyao watched helplessly as Hemo stood up from the black sofa and walked toward her with a vigorous posture like a cheetah.
At that moment, even the air was captured by his predatory aura.
There was a rushing sound for no reason.
She was stunned for a moment before she realized that the sound was her own breathing.
However, soon, she was deprived of even this calmness.
The man's big hands suddenly fell on her waist, clasping her tightly as if he wanted to rub her whole body into his body.
Due to inertia, her head tilted back slightly, and the next moment, her lips were captured by his mouth.
Different from the thrilling and passionate kiss at the palace dinner tonight, at this moment, his expression was so carefree and loving, as if he wanted to hold her in his hands.
At first, she only felt the corners of her lips were slightly itchy, but the next moment, his tongue penetrated in, as if he wanted to take care of all her emotions, not letting go of every ounce or corner.
The hands falling on the waist are strong and strong. At this moment, he gently stroked her back slowly, with amazing magic power, as if he wanted to give her the sweetest memories.
She could clearly feel the changes in his body, as if even his blood was boiling and burning, but he restrained himself, slowly and calmly, allowing her to gain the greatest satisfaction.
It turns out that this iron-blooded man actually has such a gentle side.
Leng Yiyao admitted that she never knew that just a kiss could make people so stunned.
However, the moment he let go of her, she really felt what it felt like to have soft feet.
Above the head, someone chuckled.
Leng Yiyao stroked her lips, feeling amused in her heart.
She was the only one who was caught. Now it seems that Hemo is not something that the imperial military can accommodate.
Compared to the royal family and political circles. One is that the turmoil has just ended, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and people's hearts are unstable. One is that two parties stand side by side, fighting for each other, and have recently fallen into a melee.
Hemo's status is so profound and powerful in the empire that no one can shake it in the slightest!
She suddenly heard the sniper he had let her try at that time. After such a long period of improvement, has it been optimized into the best individual weapon
Hemo couldn't help but smile happily as he looked at the pair of clear and, most importantly, extremely precise eyes in front of him. The tip of his index finger was slightly itchy, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he slowly moved up along her waist.
Over the mountain, over the dangers, finally, it stopped at the corner of her lips, and the next moment, it slowly penetrated into her mouth.
Leng Yiyao squinted at him, neither refusing nor accepting, just letting him play around.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was extremely ambiguous.
He seemed to be so satisfied with her reaction that he finally put his index finger on the corner of her lips. The next moment, he leaned forward and asked her quietly in a voice that only two people could hear: "Since you have guessed everything, then, what do you want?" Don’t you want to stand at the top with me and see the most beautiful scenery in this empire?”
When autumn first came, he took her on a helicopter to see the most magnificent autumn colors in the empire. Standing on the top of Maple Leaf Hill, he stood side by side with her, taking in the full view of the autumn colors.
Now, his eyes were uncovered, falling directly on her heart, and he asked her if she was willing to stand at the top together and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the empire
My heart surges and surges!
There is a kind of person who expresses his feelings without using "love".
Instead, he gave up half of the most honorable position in the world and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
In his eyes, there is no superiority between men and women, nothing unattainable.
As long as he wanted to, as long as she was willing, he would show her the most prosperous and moving everything in the world.
This was probably the most touching love story she had ever heard.
No need to be sentimental, no need to be gentle, no need to stir up tears, just such a look.
Self-possession, strength, respect and most importantly, complete trust!
She slowly took out his index finger that was on the tip of her lips, and suddenly stretched out her hands when the other person raised his eyebrows slightly.
The moment his pupils dilated slightly, he raised his head and suddenly captured his lips. At the last moment when the corners of their lips touched, she smiled seductively and said calmly, "Why not?"
Now that she was reborn and had a journey in this empire, she didn't want to waste any of her emotions.
There is such a man who, after seeing the coldness in her heart, is still so persistent and lustful, why doesn't she give herself and the other person a chance!
Since she was invited to stand at the top, why not agree to it
