Bringing love across time and space

The Prime Minister was extremely depressed. He knew very well that if this matter were to be spread, it would cause an uproar.

So he resolutely ordered,

There was unquestionable majesty in his voice:

"Everyone in the mansion must keep this secret. No one is allowed to leak any information about what happened today."

His words were like a cold iron curtain, shrouding the entire mansion in a solemn atmosphere.

They were fully aware of the importance of this matter, and no one dared to slack off in the slightest.

On this quiet night, the Prime Minister's mansion seemed like an isolated island, cut off from the outside world.

The lights in the mansion were bright, but they could not dispel the gloom in people's hearts.

Everyone was silently obeying the Prime Minister's orders, keeping today's events deep in their hearts and not daring to reveal even a little bit.

The second prince secretly took the new maid from Ronghua Palace to his own residence.

He gave her a gentle and touching name - Li Ying.

The moonlight shines on Li Ying's jade-like face, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to her temperament.

The second prince's heart was filled with joy, as if he had found the treasure of his life.

Concubine Jing and the Second Prince have agreed to meet with Emperor Yuan Jin tomorrow to discuss the important matter of the wedding date.

They, mother and son, knew very well that if they wanted Lin Qingjiao to get married as soon as possible, they had to tell the truth.

Although Lin Qingjiao's pregnancy is a bit embarrassing, it is also a fact that cannot be avoided.

The second prince plucked up the courage and pleaded with his mother, hoping to keep Li Ying by his side.

Concubine Jing looked at her son's earnest eyes. Although she felt unhappy, she couldn't bear to refuse.

She sighed and finally nodded. However, she still couldn't help but warn the Second Prince not to make such a mistake again in the future.

The second prince was overjoyed and agreed to his mother's instructions repeatedly.

That night, the Second Prince was in a good mood. He discussed poetry and songs with Li Ying in the mansion and enjoyed the bright moon and fresh breeze together.

The two of them were so affectionate, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Lin Qingjiao originally planned to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but hesitated halfway.

She was afraid of facing the reproach and disappointment from her father, the Prime Minister, so she returned to the villa.

Lin Qingjiao was anxiously waiting for Emperor Yuan Jin's edict in the villa, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

She waited and waited, but there was no sign of the imperial edict. She did not dare to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion rashly, and could only endure the torment in her heart alone.

Big bubbles gradually formed at the corners of her mouth, but she was unaware of it.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was a completely different scene. The mansion was in a mess.

However, Lin Qingjiao knew nothing about all this. She was still anxiously waiting for the imperial edict to arrive in the villa.

As the night deepened, the competition between the Second Prince and Li Ying came to an end.

They slept in each other's arms, looking forward to the good times in the future. Lin Qingjiao was still waiting silently in the courtyard.

What Lin Qingjiao didn't know was that her Second Prince, whose heart and eyes were filled with her, was now spending the night with another woman, and his heart and eyes were now filled with another woman.

This is retribution. The love you snatch from others will also be snatched away by others. If the love can be snatched away by others, it is definitely not true love.

In fact, Lin Qingjiao doesn't need true love. What she wants is wealth and glory, and the identity of the second prince's wife or the crown princess's wife.

Deep inside the magnificent Chen Wang Mansion, in an exquisite boudoir,

Lin Qingya was alone, and the quiet space was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

She sat by the window, and the sycamore leaves outside the window swayed in the wind.

The mottled moonlight sprinkled on her fair skin, adding a touch of softness to her.

However, those bright eyes concealed bottomless worry.

She was playing with a pistol in her hand, which came from her space and was her weapon to fight against fate.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the door, as if telling of her inner struggle and helplessness.

She knew that she couldn't retreat or be weak, because in this world full of conspiracy and power, she had no way out.

Suddenly, a man appeared at the door. He was wearing a black robe, and his figure was tall and straight, as steady as a mountain.

He is Lin Qingya's nominal husband and the man she is going to assist - King Chen.

Their eyes met in the air, as if an invisible force was flowing between them.

Lin Qingya took a deep breath. She knew that she had to make a choice.

She couldn't let herself become a victim of power, nor could she let her father's conspiracy succeed.

She wants to assist King Chen, help him consolidate his position and become a true king.

Only in this way can she survive in this world.

King Chen looked at her, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Lin Qingya withdrew her chaotic thoughts as if she had just woken up from a dream, and a trace of firmness and determination flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She bowed gracefully and solemnly, like a flower just blooming in spring.

With her lowered eyebrows and docile eyes, she revealed endless grace and dignity: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Gu Yuchen opened his thin lips and said "hmm" lightly. His voice was low and magnetic.

It seems to be able to easily penetrate people's hearts.

His eyes were deep, like the stars in the night sky, twinkling with an elusive light.

He did not immediately respond to Lin Qingya's greeting, but stared at her quietly.

It’s like admiring a beautiful painting.

Lin Qingya felt Gu Yuchen's gaze, but she did not raise her head.

She just stood up gently, her posture elegant and dignified.

She asked softly, "I wonder what orders the prince has for you since you came to my humble abode?"

Her voice is soft and gentle, like a spring breeze.

Gu Yuchen did not directly answer Lin Qingya's question, but slowly walked to her side.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "There are a few places I want to take you to."

His voice is deep and magnetic, as if it can easily capture people's hearts.

Lin Qingya felt confused, but she didn't show it.

She just stood there quietly, letting Gu Yuchen whisper in her ear.

She felt Gu Yuchen's breath lingering in her ears.

It was as if a warm current was slowly flowing into her heart.

Gu Yuchen saw that Lin Qingya did not ask,

Then he continued, "Just like emptying the imperial palace, I will empty the residences of several ministers."

There was an unquestionable firmness and dominance in his voice.

Lin Qingya's heart was shocked, and she finally understood Gu Yuchen's intention.

It turned out that he wanted to use her power to settle accounts with those corrupt ministers.

She couldn't help but admire Gu Yuchen's decisiveness and resolve, and at the same time she felt proud that she could be his helper.

She looked up at Gu Yuchen, with a determined light in her eyes.

She knew that she had a heavy responsibility, but she was willing to assist Gu Yuchen.

For the future of this country and for our own future.

She nodded gently, with a hint of firmness and determination in her voice:

"I am willing to go with you, Your Majesty. I wonder what benefit I can get from it."
