The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

"You guys should go down and rest early, too."

"Then Miss, please call us if you have anything." The two of them bowed and then withdrew.

Ling Yueqing supported her aching waist and lay down on the bed.

Fortunately, my health has recovered somewhat recently, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

This is after the process is simplified. If she had to go through the whole set of procedures, she wouldn't dare to think about it. In ancient times, it was really a crime for a noble lady to get married.

When Ling Yueqing was getting ready to go to bed, she looked at the red candle that had not yet gone out and sighed deeply.

It’s so annoying that I have to go down and blow out the candles!

It would be great if this was a remote control.

It seems that I have to learn some ancient internal energy as soon as possible. Once I learn this thing, I can extinguish the candle with a wave of my hand. It’s so easy just thinking about it.

She got out of bed reluctantly and extinguished the candle.

Then he fell into a peaceful sleep.

The prince’s study at this time.

Xiao Mingchen looked at the news reported back by his secret guards from various places.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock~" There was a knock on the door, with a very special rhythm.

This is the exclusive way of knocking on the door for the palace’s confidants.

"Come in." Xiao Mingchen said in a cold voice.

After Chi Feng came in, he reported in a questioning tone, "Your Majesty, the princess has fallen asleep."

He couldn't understand what the princess was thinking, even though he knew that the prince was seriously injured and couldn't spend the wedding night with her.

Normally, they would sit still and wait for the prince to send someone to inform them that they no longer had to wait before they could rest.

The princess, on the other hand, didn't ask or wait, she just fell asleep.

"Oh? Didn't you wait for me?"

"Is this the gentle and virtuous lady you found, a standard lady from a noble family?"

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Mingchen's tone did not seem very surprised, but rather seemed to imply that it was as he expected.

Sure enough, it was different from what was reported in the secret report.

Xiao Mingchen's thoughts gradually returned to his youth.

At that time, his mother, Concubine Yu, was the best candidate for empress chosen by the late emperor.

But after catching a cold, his health deteriorated and no medicine could cure him.

After Concubine Yu died, he was taken to be raised by Concubine Luo.

The late emperor felt sorry for him because he lost his mother at a young age, so he asked Concubine Luo to raise him well. Also because Concubine Luo was virtuous, kind and dignified, the late emperor made him the queen and granted him the residence in Xian De Palace.

Empress Luo and Concubine Yu are sworn sisters. Since they entered the palace, they have been supporting each other and have a deep relationship.

Therefore, after Concubine Yu's death, Empress Luo devoted herself to taking care of Xiao Mingchen and refused the emperor's favor many times for this reason.

Over the years, she has always treated him very well, like her own son. Even after she had her own children, she still treated him the same way.

Even his own son, Prince Jing, who is now the emperor, calls him "Brother Emperor" every day and treats him very closely.

He also treated Queen Luo as his own mother and Prince Jing as his own brother, and he never thought of fighting for the throne over the years.

Later, when King Jing became the emperor, he wanted to be a general and protect Queen Mother Luo and her son. When the emperor became more powerful, he asked for the title of King Xiaoyao and went out to roam the rivers and lakes and see the mountains and rivers.

But in recent years, Xiao Mingchen has rarely entered the palace.

He announced to the public that he was over the age of twenty and that entering the palace frequently was against palace rules.

In fact, he didn't know how to treat the Queen Mother, the woman who raised him.

The woman who had a sworn brotherhood with her mother and supported each other in the harem, and had a deep friendship with her.

And all of this originated from that stormy and rainy night five years ago.

It rained heavily that day, and it kept falling all day long and did not stop until late at night. At this time, a seriously injured man in black broke into the palace.

At that time, Xiao Mingchen was leaning on a recliner and staying up late to finish reading a storybook. When he was reading it with great interest, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Who?" He was startled and ran to the door to check. At this time, the guards of the palace also surrounded him.

The man was soaked in blood, but he didn't say a word. His bloodshot eyes stared at him and his hoarse voice said firm words that made him feel cold all over.

"Empress Yu was murdered, and the late emperor's death was also suspicious. They will not let you go..."

The man in black fainted after saying a few words, and these few short sentences overturned Xiao Mingchen's cognition over the years.

In order to find out the truth, Xiao Mingchen called his good friend, the genius doctor Murong Xuanye, to treat him overnight.

The waiting process was extremely painful. He had always been content with the status quo and just wanted to enjoy life.

Suddenly he was told that his mother's death was not due to illness but murder, and the dangers he had encountered over the years were not accidents but long-planned.

He instinctively didn't want to believe it, but the man's determined eyes flashed before his eyes, and all the things he had experienced over the years flashed through his mind, making him more and more frightened the more he thought about it.

This is like Pandora's box. Everything will be fine until it is opened, but once it is opened, things will be out of control.

"Creak-" the door opened.

Murong Xuanye complained with a tired face, "Who was so cruel? He didn't intend to leave him alive. I used all my strength and only kept him alive for one day. If you have anything to say, please say it now. I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Don't call me if you don't have anything else."

Murong Xuanye yawned and went to his private room.

Xiao Mingchen chatted with that person in the room for a whole day. When he came out, there was a huge force behind him - the Xianji Palace.

In the following years, he has been looking for the truth and the real murderer.

But still nothing was gained, and the information obtained only verified the authenticity of what that person said.

As the number of assassinations increased, the scope of the murderer was gradually narrowed to Shengjing City. Judging from his style and skills, the murderer must be a powerful person, either in the former court or in the harem.

Although there have been frequent assassination attempts in recent years, no one has ever been caught alive. All the assassins would commit suicide immediately after failing. Some would even commit suicide when they sensed that they were losing during a fight, not giving others a chance to perform.

In fact, he had doubts about the candidate in his heart. After all, Queen Luo at that time was the biggest beneficiary after her mother's death.

But he could not find any evidence, and he was too conflicted to believe that the woman who treated him so well and was so gentle as to be the one who killed his mother.

This time he pretended to be seriously injured and unable to recover, hoping to expose the opponent's true intentions.

The palace seemed to be in a state of panic recently, but in fact, the arrangements were very strict. As a result, instead of waiting for the reinforcement, they received an imperial decree to grant a marriage for good fortune.

Will this wedding be a breakthrough?

Some proposed it, some agreed to it, and some made the final decision. So what role did the murderer play in it?

A gust of wind blew by, and the sound of the door shaking interrupted Xiao Mingchen's thoughts.

His slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically, "Tomorrow morning, ask the princess to come and serve me dinner."

"Yes." Chi Feng went down with a puzzled look on his face.

Although he was surprised, he thought that the prince must have his reasons for doing so, so he sent someone to pass on the message to Ling Yueqing.

Then he rushed to the Xianji Palace overnight. Chi Feng couldn't figure out which link went wrong. How could the news from the Xianji Palace be wrong?
