After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

When her hand touched the unobstructed body, she noticed the person next to her trembling slightly. Although she had seen Ye Tantai's body in the hot spring pool of the Shadow Guard Base, she would still be covered in tears when she saw it again. Shocked by scars.

"Does it hurt?" She touched it gently with her fingers. The scars were deep and shallow.

The woman caressed the uneven bronze skin, which seemed to have more scars than half a year ago.

To be able to reach his current position in just six months, one can imagine how many thrilling things he will experience.

Everyone was concerned about how he did it. Only Su Qingcheng would ask him if it hurt...

"It doesn't hurt, just put it on." Ye Tantai didn't want to reveal his unhappy past in front of others. Although Su Qingcheng was different from others, even if she felt distressed, he would feel distressed.

Su Qingcheng said nothing and silently helped him change into the dark blue and gold-trimmed robe in the carriage.

After a while, "Okay." Su Qingcheng said.

"Thank you, Madam." Ye Tantai joked, calling each Madam smoothly.

Su Qingcheng lowered her eyes and caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on his waist. Thinking of the events in her previous life, she smoothed the broken hair on her forehead and asked tentatively: "Have you met me before we got married?"

"I've only heard that the Su family has a daughter who can conquer the country, but it's a pity..." Ye Tantai said half of the words with a smile on his face.

This aroused Su Qingcheng's curiosity and asked, "What's the pity?"

In her memory, there was no intersection between the two of them in their previous lives and after their separation. When she heard about him again after many years, it was the news of his death.

"It's a pity that she is a stupid beauty." Ye Tantai chuckled.

"Where am I stupid?" Su Qingcheng was surprised. It turned out that in the eyes of the people of Nanye, she was the image of a stupid beauty. "It's fake. No wonder the rumors can't be trusted. I'm not stupid!"

Ye Tantai looked at the woman's eagerness to retort, which was very cute, and couldn't help but deepen the curvature of the corners of her mouth.

When Su Qingcheng asked to marry him, she just had the words "I have a purpose" written on her face. But after meeting her later, he discovered that not only was she not stupid, but she was smart, witty, brave and decisive, which made him fall in love with her irresistibly. she.

Su Qingcheng secretly sighed. She originally thought that there would be a drama between her and Ye Tantai that they had secretly loved for many years, which was why they had that night of fate in their previous life. Princess Huaining who made it happen was dead, and the two None of the parties involved knew anything, and the other had no memory of past lives, so it seemed that it could only be regarded as an accident.

"What would you do if the throne was not Ouyang Yi's?" Ye Tantai changed the subject.

This issue is also what worries Su Qingcheng. Ouyang Yi is better than Ouyang Yu in terms of talent and emperor's character.

But the problem is that Emperor Dong Ling died too suddenly, without any precautions, almost suddenly. There must be some conspiracy behind this.

"Then help him get it." Su Qingcheng said calmly.

"Ouyang Yu seems to be older, but in fact he is not as mature mentally as Ouyang Yi. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, but Ouyang Yi's methods can be said to be clean and fair." Ye Tantai said, Analyze the current situation with Su Qingcheng.

"Ouyang Yu is indeed unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals. Isn't that what happened in the blood array back then?" Su Qingcheng mentioned Ouyang Yu with a little unnoticeable displeasure in her tone.

"So I suspect that Emperor Dong Ling's death was caused by him, and there is a person behind him," Ye Tantai said, "We may all know this person, or even be very familiar with him."

Su Qingcheng went through all the clues in her mind. Ouyang Yu showed his skill in the battle half a year ago...

"You can't be from Nanye, right?" Su Qingcheng asked doubtfully.

"It's very possible." Ye Tantai said.

The carriage was parked at the gate of the palace. During the funeral, no one was allowed to enter the palace by carriage.

Ye Tantai helped her get out of the carriage. The royal guards guarding the palace gate were all dressed in mourning clothes, and the two of them were no exception.

The palace has been replaced with bright red decorations, and the palace ladies have hung the soul-inducing flags in various places in the palace in an orderly manner.

This was the first time Su Qingcheng walked into the Dongling Palace. Along the way, she met many princes and princesses of Dongling. After a brief greeting, they walked forward separately. There were many people and they didn't speak.

After walking for about half an hour, we finally reached the main hall.

A large number of the emperor's relatives were kneeling outside the main hall, and there were many figures that Su Qingcheng was familiar with.

Ye Tantai is a prince from another country, so he does not need to attend the ceremony today, but now he can be regarded as the husband of Princess Dongling, half of the royal family, but no one dares to let him kneel.

So he stood at the side of the large team, not too close to Su Qingcheng, so that he could rush forward to protect her if anything happened.

Su Qingcheng knelt beside the eldest princess and asked in a low voice: "What's the situation now?"

The audience was completely silent, and Su Qingcheng could feel the undercurrent surging.

The eldest princess's face was not pretty. First she lost Nanny Qin, who had grown up with her, and then she received the news of her father's death.

"My father-in-law's personal father-in-law said that my father left a verbal message at the last moment before his death." The eldest princess said, and it was not difficult to hear her exhaustion from her hoarse voice.

"What about the heir?" Su Qingcheng also became nervous.

"Hmm... But, my father ordained that the throne be passed on to my fourth brother." Su Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt relieved.

wrong……

Although passing the throne to the fourth prince is the outcome they all hope for, in this case, the more it is passed to the fourth prince, the more wrong it is.

The death of Emperor Dong Ling was so strange that it was not difficult to fabricate an oral decree. It was hard not to suspect that the fourth prince had killed Emperor Dong Ling and then usurped the throne!

"So what's the situation now?" Su Qingcheng realized the seriousness of the problem and asked again when seeing the fourth prince still kneeling not far away.

"At present, some people from the third brother are saying that the fourth brother is plotting to usurp the throne, and the oral instructions are false. However, the queen mother and the fourth prince's mother concubine, the noble concubine, protected the fourth prince in one fell swoop, saying that he was not capable of such a thing. Now they are on the sidelines. Let’s discuss this matter in the palace.” The eldest princess said, the worry on her brows obvious.

Su Qingcheng's heart sank. It would have been easier if Emperor Dongling had not said anything before his death, or had made a will long ago, but he passed the throne to the fourth prince in this most questionable way...

Su Qingcheng and others knelt for two full hours. Before the sky completely darkened, the door to the side hall was finally opened.

The Grand Eunuch, the steward, walked up to everyone in small steps, bowed deeply and said: "Princes and princesses, please pass on the Queen's instructions. No one is allowed to leave the palace until the matter is decided."

There was an uproar in the crowd.

Among them were princesses who were already married, and princes who were divided into separate houses. If everyone was allowed to live in the palace, there would be more or less complaints.
