Chapter 157
Especially watching the girl's eyes continuously overflowing with tears, Jiang Rushuang's heart twitched, Qing Ning came in with a basin of hot water, Jiang Rushuang twisted the warm handkerchief, and wiped the tears on Chu Ling'an's face.

Not long after, Chu Yao came over, Jiang Rushuang glanced at him and sighed.

"The emperor didn't tell the concubine what happened, and the concubine didn't ask. It's just that in so many years, the concubine has never seen Chu Chu cry like this..."

"I'm not a good father."

Before Jiang Rushuang finished speaking, Chu Yao gave an affirmative answer.

That's right, even Jiang Nanyue, who has always disliked Chuchu, couldn't bear it anymore, how could he have the heart to let Chuchu be wronged.

"I have my own difficulties. I am the emperor, Nan Yue, and sometimes I feel very tired."

Especially at this time, the incomprehensible loneliness of being in a high position became stronger and stronger, and he felt tired.

State affairs and family affairs are all on her head.

"The concubine will try her best to take care of Chu Chu." This was the result of Jiang Rushuang's compromise, and it was because she couldn't bear it as a mother.

-

When Chu Ling'an woke up, it was already late at night, only Qing Ning knelt by her bed and took a nap in the bedroom, very quiet.

She blinked, her eyelids were swollen and painful, and it was still raining outside the window, Chu Ling'an sat up from the bed, got out of bed lightly, touched an oil-paper umbrella from outside the bedroom, and went out with the umbrella.

When the guards saw that she was about to go out, they all greeted her, "Princess, the rain outside has not stopped, and the sky is not yet bright. The road is slippery in rainy days, you might as well go back to the dormitory to rest."

"I'm going out for a walk. If you are worried, send someone to follow." It may be because of crying too much, but when she opened her mouth, her voice became very hoarse.

Chu Ling'an went down the steps with an umbrella on her own.

The guards were worried, so they went to report to the emperor, and others followed her.

Chu Ling'an went to the imperial garden, but it was still raining and the road was slippery, so she staggered several times, but she never took a step back.

Chu Ling'an had just turned into the imperial garden and was walking towards the green lake when a voice behind her suddenly called her, "What are you doing? Are you going to jump into the lake? Let me tell you, if you dare to jump, daddy will catch you After coming up, I will definitely scold you first."

Chu Ling'an didn't look back at the fierce voice, and guessed who it was.

She lost her usual tenderness and didn't look back, "It's so late, you should go back and rest quickly, with so many guards following behind, I can't die."

She said she still wanted to walk to the lake, Chu Xihe rushed over and hugged her sister, hugging Chu Lingan's waist from behind, not allowing her to take a step forward, "I tell you, you are not allowed to jump, even if You can't dance even if you feel wronged, Dad will definitely be sad, you don't know, Dad shed tears this afternoon."

Chu Ling'an lowered her head, looking at the two little hands hugging her waist, tightly clenched together.

She said: "I really didn't want to jump, I just came out to take a breath, it's so late, you go back and rest."

"No, I'm leaving, what if you jump off, then I will become your accomplice to commit suicide, what should I do, Daddy will definitely beat me again, you can't go to the lake again!"

Chu Ling'an's voice was full of tears and self-mockery, "Xuxu, you are still so young, what do you know, you don't understand."

Daddy, how could you let Song Xuanqing go... She was hurt, and Daddy let her go in a blink of an eye. Then, as a princess, anyone can insult her?

"I don't know how your father bullied you. Anyway, your father is crying. I have never seen my father cry since I was a child. My father loves my sister. If you really committed suicide, who are you worthy of?" Chu Xihe, who ran out to play hide-and-seek with his maid in the middle of the night, just happened to see his elder sister about to jump into the lake, and he felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, "No matter what, you should go back to the bedroom to rest now, otherwise you will be If you want to commit suicide, I'm afraid of being haunted by ghosts, so you can't become a ghost and come back to scare me."

Chu Xihe yelled at his maidservant, "Why are you standing there? Didn't you see that my sister was going to jump into the lake? Hurry up and find the emperor father, or the queen mother. Anyway, find someone who can hold my sister down." ah!"

After living for so many years, Chu Ling'an could count on her fingers the number of times Chu Xihe called her sister, and today, she shouted the most.

Chu Ling'an didn't want to disturb too many people, so she also compromised with Chu Xihe, "Let your maid come back, I will go back to the bedroom to rest now, don't disturb the emperor and queen mother."

Maybe, maybe it's because she really asks too much. An adopted daughter has to ask for so much. My father has raised her for so many years, and he must have exhausted his benevolence.

Chu Xihe still didn't dare to let go. After loosening her waist, he hugged her arm again and pulled her back, "This is close to my bedroom, why don't you go to my bedroom to rest first, seeing how pitiful you are." For the sake of this, I won't bully you for the time being, don't worry!"

Chu Xi was a big kid, and felt that if she dared to find fault with Chu Ling'an at this time, it might not be such a trivial matter for her father to beat her up.

After all, children are still very curious. Chu Xihe squatted under Chu Lingan's umbrella, raised his head and asked, "Sister, why did you cry yesterday? Tell me, I want to know."

It's just out of curiosity, and she didn't mean anything malicious.

But Chu Ling'an didn't know how to speak.

She said that she was raped, and then did dad let the murderer go?
In the end, it was just making up a reason to fool the child, "I touched my leg yesterday and it hurt so much, so I cried. Daddy is coaxing me."

"Oh, you guys know how to lie to children. If you cry, daddy will cry too, and mommy won't be happy. You don't tell me anything!"

"You're too young, some adults have complicated things, you'd better be so carefree forever." Chu Ling'an sighed, her tone full of helplessness.

Early in the morning, it was very late, Chu Ling'an and Chu Xihe arrived at Qinzheng Hall together, Qing Ning was kneeling in the rain, the wound on the back of her neck was torn open, blood was oozing out.

Chu Ling'an walked quickly to Qing Ning's side, and used an umbrella to protect Qing Ning from the rain, "Dad made you kneel here?"

"It was the servant who made a mistake and was willing to be punished. Princess, the servant is fine."

Chu Ling'an left the umbrella to Qing Ning, and quickly walked up the steps with her skirt in hand.

"Oh, the princess is back. The old slave went in to inform you that the emperor is meeting with two ministers."

See minister.

Well, state affairs are the most important thing, she doesn't bother.

"Please trouble your father-in-law to tell the emperor that I have left the palace and returned to the princess mansion, and I will come back to the palace some other day to greet my father."

Chu Ling'an ran back and helped Qing Ning up, "I went out by myself, what's the matter with daddy punishing you to kneel in the rain, you get up, come back home with me, you're right, no one can punish you."

"Princess, don't be in a hurry, it's still raining, you go and rest for a while." Qing Ning was wet all over, her hair stained her face, but she was still smiling hard.

"I want to leave here, can't you go with me? If you don't go, I will go by myself, Qing Ning, you are mine, and I will do whatever I say."

Qing Ning didn't dare to contradict her, and was staggered up by her, and followed her away.

The door of Qinzheng Hall opened, and Chu Yao looked at the stubborn back with an umbrella in the rain, and called out: "Chuchu, you go to the side hall to rest first, Daddy has something to deal with."

"Daddy is busy, don't bother me at the beginning, I will leave the palace now, I will enter the palace another day to pay my respects to Daddy." She didn't even turn her head.

She obviously hates her appearance of being ignorant of etiquette and rules, but Chu Ling'an just wants to be willful for once, and she doesn't want to hear such an explanation that her father lied to her.

She is aggrieved.

Daddy lied to her.

So she didn't want to listen to her father anymore.

This is what Chu Ling'an thought in his heart.

Chu Yao went down the steps and walked to her side, "Don't make a fuss, go to the side hall and wait for dad first, will it work?"

Chu Ling'an raised her eyes and saw that her father's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. She couldn't bear it for a moment, and knelt down in the rain with a plop.

"The matter is now, I don't want to listen to Chuchu anymore. Yesterday Chuchu said a lot of stupid things. I hope Dad will forgive me. Don't worry about it. Dad is right to do everything. It is for the people of the world. As a princess, my daughter must Daddy can rest assured that after her daughter returns, she will not look for death or blame her father, and her father will rest assured that after her daughter returns, she will forget about it and treat it as if it never happened. Anyway...it is irreparable what."

Chu Yao lowered his head to look at his daughter, who lowered her head, only a pitch-black hair top.

"I know you blame daddy, but daddy won't force your forgiveness. Since you want to leave the palace, daddy won't stop you. Just try to make up for you. Chuchu, don't do stupid things."

"Of course not, don't worry, dad." She said bitterly.

Can't get results.

Chu Lingan knelt on the ground, her knees were soaked by the rain, and when Chu Yao turned around, Chu Lingan kowtowed, "Daddy, Grandfather He and Grandmother He in Jiaoxi are getting old, and my daughter wants to accompany them for a few days, by the way Take it easy, and hope Daddy will allow it."

Unlike when she was a child, this time, she asked to leave.

It's just a little uncomfortable, I just want to escape from this place, maybe it's good if I figure it out, and I won't be wronged if I figure it out.

"Go ahead, just don't forget to come back."

……

When Chu Ling'an left the palace in a carriage and passed by the market, the usual bustling place was now very empty.

"Go on, I'll take a walk to relax, I'm too idle and always think about some bad things."

On such a rainy day, there was a little boy kneeling in front of a pharmacy, next to a middle-aged man lying on a mat, the little boy was about the same age as Xuxu, kneeling in front of the pharmacy, holding an umbrella, most of the umbrella was Get in the way of your father.

"What are you kneeling here for?"

"Ask for medicine for my father." The boy's voice was cold, he didn't even look at her, and concentrated on kneeling on his own.

Qing Ning pulled Chu Ling'an, but Chu Ling'an didn't have any scruples, bent over to check the middle-aged man's breath, it was obvious that he was not breathing, and the body was already cold.

"Your father passed away." Maybe she didn't even realize how heartless the words she said were to a ten-year-old child.

The boy said, "When I brought my father, he was still alive."

Chu Lingan smiled.

It's not that she feels pity for this boy, but she just wants to watch the excitement. She feels that she is horribly indifferent now.

"I asked someone to bury your father, how about you follow me in the future?"

The boy ignored her.

And Chu Ling'an didn't force her, and she turned around and left without getting an answer.

After she walked more than ten steps, the little boy stood up and stopped her, "Okay, I promise you."

Chu Ling'an looked at the little boy with an umbrella and smiled, obviously he was so pitiful and so calm.

"Qing Ning, arrange someone to bury his father, tidy him up, and send him to the princess mansion in the afternoon."

And since Tang Jiahong entered the princess mansion in the afternoon, there have been rumors that the eldest princess has raised a handsome young lady in the mansion.

After Chu Lingan took a bath in the dormitory, she only wore pajamas. Qing Ning brought the little boy in. Chu Lingan lay on the couch and looked at the little boy carefully. , there must be many girls chasing after him.

"I don't support idlers. If you follow Qing Ning and do things well, I can consider it. When you grow up, I will let you go and let you pursue your own life."

Tang Jiahong didn't speak.

Chu Ling'an became interested, walked up to the little boy, and picked his chin with his fingers, "Such a handsome boy, if he buys a place like the watchtower, I'm afraid he can earn a lot of money."

With her appearance like this, Qing Ning was a little startled when she saw the coquettish and romantic, and coughed to remind her, "Princess."

Always pay attention to the impact.

"Go out, I have something to teach you, stay with Qing Ning, massage my legs."

As soon as Tang Jiahong went out, Qing Ning looked at her worriedly, "Princess, all servants in Changfu must be eunuchs, this boy must be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs first."

"How old is he and what can he do? It's just a matter of raising a kitten and puppy for fun. There's no need for that."

"Come here and massage my legs. I'll take a break. I'll leave the city tomorrow and live in Jiaoxi for a few days. I don't want to live in the palace anymore."

Qing Ning carefully pressed her legs, but she couldn't help feeling a little panicked. The princess was a little confused by the little boy's attitude, and she was afraid that it would affect her badly.

"Princess, don't fall. The emperor has unavoidable difficulties. The emperor also said that the old owner of the herb valley saved the lives of the empress and the little prince. If the emperor executes his son, it will be a shame, and it will make everyone in the world think The emperor is ruthless, the princess wants to be more considerate of the emperor, the slave girl heard from guard Xue that the emperor beat Song Xuanqing so badly, and even crippled his two arms, it can be regarded as venting her anger to the princess, the princess thinks differently, If the person sitting in that seat is a princess, how will the princess make a decision?"

"I didn't do anything. As for asking you to persuade me like this, you know nothing. Maybe you will understand after sending you to a brothel for two days." Chu Ling'an didn't want to listen to people's persuasion, so she listened to Qing Ning. After persuading him with words, he satirized him instead.

"Go out and let Tang Jiahong in."

Chu Ling'an turned over, and immediately ignored Qing Ning.

Qing Ning was kicked out, Tang Jiahong came in hesitantly, not knowing what to do.

Seeing his helpless look, Chu Ling'an didn't care that the child had just experienced the pain of losing his father, and ordered: "Don't stand there stupidly, come here and squeeze my legs, I won't give you a monthly fee for standing stupidly."
