Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide

"secretly,"

She lowered her voice, "Immediately contact Prince An's family in secret, offer them huge benefits, and win them over!

At the same time, prepare the necessary edicts and evidence in the event of His Majesty's 'unfortunate death'."

She spoke the last few words lightly, but they were filled with chilling murderous intent.

Obviously, for the sake of the Liu family's power, she didn't mind letting her already "stupid" son "die of illness" completely.

"it is good!"

Liu Chen slammed his hand on the table, a ferocious look on his face. "That's it! I'll make arrangements right away! Sister, everything in the palace depends on you!"

"rest assured."

Empress Dowager Liu took a deep breath and regained some of her coldness. "I want to see if Lin Ci'an can cover the sky with one hand!"

After Lin Ci'an finished dealing with the urgent government affairs, the uneasiness in his heart caused by leaving became stronger and stronger, making him almost hurried back to the warm room.

The moment he pushed open the door, he had a feeling something was wrong - it was too quiet, so quiet that it was frightening.

His eyes quickly swept towards the soft couch in the inner room, and he saw that Chu Ziyu was not sleeping or playing the Nine Rings game as usual. Instead, he was curled up in the corner of the couch with his knees hugged, his whole body huddled into a small ball.

The blanket slipped aside, and he didn't seem to feel the cold. He just buried his face deeply in his knees, and his thin shoulders trembled slightly and uncontrollably.

The air was filled with an indescribable despair and fear.

"Zi Yu?"

Lin Ci'an's heart suddenly tightened, and he stepped forward quickly, "What's wrong?"

Hearing his voice, Chu Ziyu's body trembled violently, but he did not rush over immediately as usual.

He raised his head very slowly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

What Lin Ci'an met were a pair of completely broken eyes.

The eyes that were once clear and bright, but later became ignorant and dependent, were now terrifyingly red, filled with shaky tears, but more of it was a kind of emptiness and despair after being completely destroyed.

His face was transparently pale, and his lips had lost their color from being bitten by himself, and were even slightly broken.

He looked at Lin Ci'an with those empty eyes, as if he was looking at something terrible through him.

Tears slid down silently, drop by drop, hitting the back of his cold hand.

Lin Ci'an had never seen him like this before. Even when he was at his most vulnerable, just waking up from the water, he didn't feel this despair as if his soul had been drained away.

He subconsciously reached out to touch him.

Just before his fingertips were about to touch Chu Ziyu's cheek, Chu Ziyu shrank back suddenly and dodged as if it were a branding iron.

Then he spoke.

His voice was extremely hoarse and as light as a feather, but every word was like a poisoned needle, piercing Lin Ci'an's heart.

“…Husband…”

He choked and his tears flowed even harder, his eyes filled with great confusion and pain that went deep into his bones.

"...Are you...going to lock me up too? Like...like locking up an animal...in that dark...cold place?"

"Are you going to lock Ah Yu up...if she's not well behaved...if she makes you angry?"

Lin Ci'an's hands completely froze in mid-air, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze in an instant!

Locked up? Locked up?

How could he know? !

Who?! Who told him?! Who took him there?!
