Quick Wear: Host, Learn About the Fate-Changing System

Royal Palace

This is a place full of intrigue. Except for the person in the highest position, no one else can decide their own destiny. Therefore, they will use all kinds of tricks and turn their swords against each other for power, desire, and freedom!

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince requests an audience."

"Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Outside the imperial study, the third prince Chen Ze was standing there trembling.

"Third Prince, His Majesty lets you in."

"Thank you, Eunuch Cai."

"You're welcome." Looking at the Third Prince's appearance, Eunuch Cai felt a flicker of sympathy. The Third Prince was also a pitiful person. He had no powerful maternal family, nor was he favored by His Majesty, and now...

Eunuch Cai couldn't help but remind Chen Ze, "His Majesty is not too angry, Third Prince just needs to talk to him in a nice way."

"Yes, thank you, Eunuch Cai, for your advice."

Chen Ze walked into the imperial study.

"Father, I know I was wrong!" Chen Ze knelt down as soon as he entered the imperial study. "I shouldn't have associated with the Prime Minister's Mansion. I was wrong!"

"Oh?" Chen Fusi put down the memorial in his hand. "I said before that as long as they are my princes, they can have contact with the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could you be wrong?"

"But I shouldn't have fallen into the Third Young Lady's eyes." Chen Ze continued to admit his mistake, "I have no interest in that position and shouldn't have gotten involved in these matters. It's all my fault. I hope Father will punish me!"

"Alright." Chen Fusi motioned Chen Ze to get up, "I trust you."

A person without the power of his mother's family can do nothing.

"Thank you, father." Chen Fusi stood up, but he did not completely relax. Instead, he continued to lower his head, looking scared.

"What are you still standing here for?" After a while, Chen Fusi looked up and seemed to notice that Chen Ze was still here.

"Father, I, your son...would like to go to the harem to see my mother."

Hearing Chen Ze's words, a face appeared in Chen Fusi's mind - Chu Fei Chu Lian.

He originally took Chu Lian into his harem because of her stunning and cold face, but after that period of interest wore off, he rarely visited Chu Lian again.

now……

Chen Fusi looked Chen Ze up and down.

I don’t know how she is doing.

"Go ahead." Chen Fusi waved his hand. "You haven't been there for a long time. Have a good chat with your mother."

"Thank you, Father!"

Chen Ze retreated from the imperial study.

Only after they had walked a long way did Chen Ze dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

This level...

Passed!

but……

Chen Ze remembered what happened at the party.

Why did the third young lady suddenly mention him? Did she discover something? Or was it simply because of this face, as she said?

He had never seen the Third Young Lady have any thoughts before. Maybe... she was just attracted to his face.

Chen Ze gathered his wandering thoughts, calmed himself down and walked towards the palace where Chu Lian was.

-

Prime Minister's Mansion

After King Zhenyuan left, Lian Luosang fell into deep thought.

Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion...

If Chen Fusi really wants to deal with them, why don't they join forces to resist Chen Fusi?

only……

Lian Luosang thought of the people that Chen Fusi had sent to monitor them secretly. The premise was that they had to avoid these people, otherwise it would be really difficult for them to cooperate.

But, how to do it?

Chen Fusi asked Qi Zhen to work with him on Qing'er's coming-of-age ceremony. Was this a conspiracy? Would he accept or not? If he didn't, he'd lose the chance to work with Qi Zhen. But if he did, he might fall into Chen Fusi's trap...

"Father."

"Qing'er?" Lian Luosang came back to his senses. "Are you willing to come back?"

"Why do your words sound sour?" Su Ruanluo came to Lian Luosang's side. "Father, you're not jealous of my second sister, are you?"

"How could I be jealous of Mi Yue?" Lian Luosang rubbed Su Ruanluo's head. "What nonsense!"

"Then what is father worried about?" Su Ruanluo stared into Lian Luosang's eyes, "Father, I am not a child anymore. There are some things I should have the right to know."

"You haven't even reached the age of marriage yet, aren't you still a child?" Lian Luosang looked at Su Ruanluo's adult demeanor and felt a bit amused. "Xiaoqing, I just hope you can live a safe and smooth life."

"Without father, elder brother, and second sister, how could everything be safe and smooth?" Su Ruanluo retorted, "Father, I met Qi Congyuan today."

“Qi Congyuan?!” Lian Luosang was very surprised, and immediately ordered people to be alert to the surroundings, “Xiaoqing, didn’t you go to the Luo Mansion? How did you meet Qi Congyuan? Where is Lin Yin? How did he protect you? He…”

"It's none of Lin Yin's business." Su Ruanluo interrupted Lian Luosang, "Lin Yin doesn't know."

"Xiaoqing, you..."

"Qi Congyuan intends to cooperate with us." Su Ruanluo dropped another bombshell, "Father, I'm not a child anymore."

"Can……"

When did he start to feel a little confused about his little daughter? It seemed like she had changed, yet it seemed like she hadn't changed at all. In the blink of an eye, everything seemed different.

This feeling……

He didn't know how to describe it.

He hopes his daughter can protect herself, but he doesn't want her to get involved in these things.

But, somehow, Qing'er still seemed to be involved.

"I lost my mother when I was three, and it was my father who raised my oldest brother, second sister, and me. However, after we finally grew up, because of that person's fear, my oldest brother and second sister left home when I was 3. One went to the dangerous border, and the other married someone she didn't like. I lost the two people who loved me the most."

"Father, I know you want to protect me and don't want me to get involved, but is that really fair to me? Doesn't that dream prove that I am also useful?"

"I..." Su Ruanluo's words made Lian Luosang not know how to react. He suddenly realized that his little daughter had really grown up.

In that case, then... that's it.

"Do you know why I no longer allow you to get along with those princes..."

In the end, Lian Luosang told Su Ruanluo everything.

Including the so-called "Phoenix Fate" of the national teacher.

"So... that's how it is..." Su Ruanluo's eyes were already filled with tears, "So, everything is because of me. If it weren't for my eldest brother and second sister, there wouldn't be..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Lian Luosang interrupted Su Ruanluo, "Qing'er, remember, that was Jingye and Miyue's choice, and it has nothing to do with you. Even if you weren't there, the person above didn't intend to let the Prime Minister's Mansion go. You... are just an excuse for that person to deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Qing'er, don't blame yourself. We have never blamed you."

"Father……"

Su Ruanluo threw herself into Lian Luosang's arms.

Lian Qing, did you hear that?

They never blamed you.

So, don't blame yourself, don't bear the shackles that don't belong to you, and run towards the freedom that belongs to you. Leave the rest to me, I will make the culprits who caused this tragedy pay the price!
