The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

When Qin Rubing and Chu Tiancheng returned to the imperial capital, the sky was just slightly lit up by the morning light and the entire city was immersed in tranquility.

They quietly came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. It was quiet all around, as if everyone was still asleep. Qin Rubing and Chu Tiancheng looked at each other, and then tacitly decided not to wake anyone up, and chose to climb over the wall to enter the mansion.

They climbed up the wall nimbly and jumped lightly into the yard. The grass under their feet was soft and quiet, and they walked carefully, trying not to make any noise.

The trees and flowers in the yard looked particularly fresh in the faint morning light, and the air was filled with the faint scent of flowers and grass.

Qin Rubing and Chu Tiancheng walked quietly along the path, avoiding the patrolling guards, and headed towards Chaoyang Garden.

Their steps were light and steady, like those of ghosts, and every step was full of vigilance and caution, for fear of being discovered.

They came to Chaoyang Garden, gently pushed open the door and walked into the room.

There was a faint aroma in the room and the bed was neatly made.

Chu Tiancheng and Qin Rubing walked slowly to the bedside, their steps were light and cautious, as if they were afraid to break the tranquility. The two looked at each other, their eyes flashing with complex emotions, both expectation and worry.

Chu Tiancheng knew that Qin Rubing was not ready to accept him yet, so he smiled, revealing understanding and tenderness. He said softly, "Bing'er, you should have a good rest." His words were full of care and concern.

After saying that, he turned and left, his steps firm but with a hint of reluctance. Each step seemed particularly heavy, as if carrying the emotions deep in his heart. The door closed gently, leaving Qin Rubing lying alone on the bed, with a confused mind.

She looked at the ceiling, recalling what happened just now, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Although Chu Tiancheng's departure made her feel a little lost, she also understood that this was his respect and consideration for her.

As time passed, Qin Rubing gradually fell into a deep sleep, with a look of calmness and tranquility on her face.

In her dream, she seemed to see the beauty of the future, a happy world that belonged to her and Chu Tiancheng. In this world, they walked hand in hand in the sea of ​​flowers, feeling the gentle breeze brushing their cheeks; they tasted delicious food together and enjoyed the satisfaction brought by their taste buds; they experienced wind and rain together, but always supported each other and never left each other.

In the dream, everything was so clear and real, and every detail was deeply imprinted in her mind. The tranquil lake, with clear water reflecting the white clouds in the sky, and the green grass beside the lake swaying in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance. The mountains in the distance were rolling, and the tops of the mountains were covered with white snow, which contrasted with the blue sky.

She strolled along the path by the lake, feeling the gentle breeze on her cheeks and listening to the birds singing happily. The sun shone on her body, warm and comfortable, making her feel happy. Along the way, she saw many beautiful flowers, with colorful petals blooming like a gorgeous painting. She couldn't help but stop and carefully appreciate these masterpieces of nature.

Then, she came to an ancient castle. The walls of the castle were tall and thick, exuding the breath of history. Walking into the castle, the interior was very exquisitely decorated, and the gorgeous furniture and decorations made people feel the strong cultural atmosphere. She sat in front of the window, overlooking the beautiful scenery outside, her heart was filled with peace and satisfaction.

This dream was so real that she felt as if she was really in that world. She enjoyed the tranquility and beauty and hoped that she would never wake up from this dream. Because in real life, she was always busy and had little time to appreciate such scenery, and it was difficult for her to find inner peace. This dream became her spiritual sustenance, allowing her to find a little comfort when she was tired.

After Chu Tiancheng left, he immediately rushed back to the mansion and sent someone to call Yan Yi to the study. Time was running out, and he needed to discuss the next move with Yan Yi as soon as possible.

Soon, Yan Yi arrived as promised, but to Chu Tiancheng's surprise, Yan Yi also brought General Qin Xiao, Liu Yunfeng, He Fugui and others. These people were his confidants and capable men, and their arrival made Chu Tiancheng feel a little relieved.

Everyone sat in a circle in the study, the atmosphere was solemn and serious. Chu Tiancheng briefly explained the current situation and emphasized the seriousness of the matter. Everyone looked solemn and listened carefully to every word of Chu Tiancheng.

As the discussion deepened, various opinions and suggestions emerged. General Qin Xiao proposed some military strategies and believed that the border defense force should be strengthened; Liu Yunfeng proposed to increase the monitoring of the enemy from the perspective of intelligence collection and analysis; He Fugui expressed his willingness to provide material support to ensure sufficient logistical supplies for the army.

Chu Tiancheng listened carefully to everyone's speech, nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement. He knew in his heart that in the face of such a complex situation, it was necessary to integrate the opinions of all parties and formulate a comprehensive and feasible plan.

After a night of intense discussion, a series of countermeasures were finally determined. Chu Tiancheng decided to personally lead an elite force to the border to strengthen the defense of the defense line; at the same time, he sent a special person to be responsible for intelligence collection and transmission in order to grasp the enemy's dynamics in a timely manner; in addition, he also actively prepared materials to ensure the continuous supply of the front line.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning poured into the study through the window, everyone finally reached a consensus. Chu Tiancheng looked at the tired but determined people in front of him, and a heroic feeling surged in his heart. He knew that this battle was related to the safety of the country, and they had to go all out.

Afterwards, Chu Tiancheng, Yan Yi and several other core members began to prepare for various matters. They had to organize the army and allocate resources in the shortest possible time to be fully prepared for the upcoming battle.

Chu Tiancheng knew that this war not only tested his wisdom and courage, but also related to the fate of the entire country. He secretly made up his mind to defend his homeland and protect the people no matter what the cost.

Prince Yong's Mansion.

Everything that happened during this period made Chu Tianxing feel extremely heavy and lost. Those days that were once full of hope and dreams seemed to be gone forever, and now there was only darkness and confusion.

Ever since he was deposed as crown prince, Chu Tianxing has become listless.

He lost interest in government affairs and even lost interest in the throne. The young emperor who was full of ambition and wanted to achieve great things had disappeared, replaced by a depressed and lifeless man.

Every morning, when the sun rises, Chu Tianxing is still immersed in endless pain.

He was unwilling to face reality and deal with state affairs. He just sat quietly in the palace, enduring his inner torment alone.

In the court, ministers were discussing the matter, but Chu Tianxing had no intention of listening to their opinions.

His eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul. He no longer cared about the fight for the throne and just wanted to escape from this suffocating environment.

However, although Chu Tianxing tried to escape, the reality could not be avoided after all.

He fell into deep self-blame and regret, not knowing how to get out of this shadow.

On this day, Chu Tianxing had just finished his morning court session and was sitting in his carriage, driving slowly on the road. The sunlight shone through the window onto his face, making him feel a little warm.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew from the side of the road and got into his carriage. Chu Tianxing was startled and almost screamed. He stared at the uninvited guest in horror with his eyes wide open.

When he looked closely, he found that it was a mysterious man in black clothes and masked. The appearance of this mysterious man made Chu Tianxing feel an inexplicable fear and uneasiness. He didn't know who this person was, nor did he know why he appeared here.

Chu Tianxing stared at the mysterious man nervously, trying to read some information from his eyes. However, the mysterious man's eyes were covered by a veil, making it impossible to peek into his inner thoughts.

"You... who are you?" Chu Tianxing asked in a trembling voice.

The mysterious man did not answer his question, but just sat there quietly, as if waiting for something. There was a strange atmosphere in the carriage, which made Chu Tianxing feel uncomfortable.
