The peerless and dark princess

Su Linqing and Chu Moxuan would often bicker, creating tense scenes. However, aside from Chu Lianyao and his son, who were kept in the dark, everyone else was perfectly aware of Su Linqing's intentions. Unfortunately, Chu Moxuan, the person involved, had no idea of ​​Su Linqing's true intentions. Chu Moxuan saw Su Linqing's bickering as merely a verbal confrontation, but she had no idea that whenever something came up, he would unhesitatingly prioritize her.

"Mr. Su, if you act like this, I guess my sister Mo Xuan will definitely not understand your thoughts." Chu Wange frowned slightly and said to Su Linqing.

"Wange, you know your sister. She always thinks I'm controlling her and always contradicts me..." Su Linqing's face was filled with helplessness, a hint of annoyance in his tone. He had originally intended to talk things over with Chu Moxuan, but every time she heard him, she would subconsciously argue with him, which made him feel very frustrated.

Su Linqing has recently been staying at the Prince's Palace. He originally lived at Prince Yan's Palace, but Chu Moxuan would frequently come and cause trouble for him. To avoid offending Chu Moxuan, he shamelessly came to stay at Prince Heng's Palace. Su Linqing was the renowned doctor who had developed the antidote to Chu Haolin's exotic flower poison.

Besides, it’s not just that he developed the antidote to cure Chu Haolin’s poison. According to the seniority in their Lanyou Valley, he is also Zuo Yunxin’s junior brother.

This trip to the capital had its own reasons. The Empress Dowager was in poor health, so the Emperor somehow found Lanyou Valley and begged for help, offering the Youlan Order he had received during his time in Minzhou. After much deliberation, the Valley Master of Lanyou Valley finally sent him to the capital. After all, he was the Junior Valley Master and the only candidate for the next Valley Master.

"Then what are you going to do? Wait for Sister Mo Xuan to come to her senses?" Chu Wange tilted his head and asked Su Linqing.

"She is your sister. Why don't you think of a way for me?" Su Linqing placed his hopes on Chu Wange, his eyes full of expectation.

After hearing their conversation, Ah Mei almost laughed out loud. Asking their princess to give advice to this genius doctor Su? Who could be more obtuse than their princess! Prince Zuo Ci had already made it so obvious, yet the princess didn't understand his intentions. Now that they were married, the two of them hadn't really been together. Who else could be as eccentric as their prince and princess? Anyway, they, the servants, had never seen anything like it.

"Ah? Me? Are you sure?" Chu Wange's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She knew she had no deep thoughts about romantic relationships, so asking her to come up with ideas on how to pursue her sister Mo Xuan was simply a joke.

"No, then how did you get together with Zuo Ci in the first place?" Su Linqing had been looking at Chu Wange with great anticipation, but after hearing her refusal, he couldn't help but speak anxiously. In his opinion, since Chu Wange and Zuo Ci were already married, their relationship must have been quite deep. Otherwise, how could they have gotten married?

"..." Chu Wange was speechless for a moment, but still chose to tell the truth, "Our marriage was granted by the late emperor, and there is no record of any romantic history..."

Su Linqing's eyes widened upon hearing this, his face filled with surprise and confusion. "So you two are getting married just like that? Logically speaking, you wouldn't accept that..."

He really couldn't imagine that someone like Chu Wange would easily marry Zuo Ci just because of an imperial decree. This was completely inconsistent with his understanding of Chu Wange.

"That's an imperial decree. Am I going to disobey it and risk my life?" Chu Wange raised his chin slightly, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his tone.

In that era of supreme imperial power, the imperial edict was like an indefeasible decree of fate. What choice did she have? She couldn't afford the consequences of disobeying the imperial edict, and no matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to accept the marriage. Fortunately, Chen Yan had chosen Zuo Ci; otherwise, she didn't know whether she would have obeyed the imperial edict and married.

"That's true. Then why is it your sister?" Su Linqing was confused. He didn't quite understand why the situations of Chu Moxuan and Chu Wange were so different.

"I used some trickery to help Sister Moxuan avoid the arranged marriage. Well, that year, Sister Moxuan went to southern Xinjiang to learn martial arts and medicine from that master. I suppose you know this. Aren't you her uncle-in-law?" Chu Moxuan teased Su Linqing deliberately when she mentioned the word "uncle-in-law." There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, as if teasing the special relationship between Su Linqing and Chu Moxuan.

Su Linqing was slightly taken aback when he heard this, a complex expression on his face. He was aware of Chu Moxuan's trip to Southern Xinjiang, but he hadn't anticipated the underlying reason behind it, which was to avoid the granted marriage. He couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. Chu Moxuan had always been stubborn and unwilling to be manipulated, which was different from Chu Wange. Chu Wange, faced with the imperial decree, though helpless, chose to obey, while Chu Moxuan dared to fight it at all costs.

Thinking of this, Su Linqing's feelings for Chu Moxuan grew even more admirable and appreciative. However, he also understood that it was precisely because of Chu Moxuan's personality that his pursuit of her was full of challenges. He shook his head helplessly, unsure how he could make Chu Moxuan understand his feelings.

"I know you favor Sister Mo Xuan, but don't be like this. My father is Mu Heng, not my uncle. My father would do anything for power. Of course, I am also very lucky to have my uncle and others..." Chu Wange frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in his tone.

She was well aware of Su Linqing's preference for Chu Moxuan, but this preference now made her somewhat worried. Her father, Mu Heng, was a power-seeker, willing to do anything to achieve his goals. This stood in stark contrast to the integrity and kindness of her uncle and his family. Chu Wange was grateful for their love and protection, which kept her from feeling isolated and helpless in this complex world.

Chu Wange had no feelings for Mu Heng. This was because she wasn't the original Mu Wange, but Luo Xi, who later became Wange. Furthermore, the biological father of this body was the biological daughter of the current emperor, Chen Yu. Naturally, this embarrassing identity had to be concealed, otherwise it would be a royal scandal.

Now it’s good that everyone is living in peace. Besides, even if he tells his life story, what about Chu Wanran and Chu Haolin?
