Not long after the Huajiang Lake event ended, heavy rain began to fall late at night.

Yun Ling supported her bloody waist and staggered in the jungle outside the city.

Thinking of Lu Linchu's ruthlessness and the humiliation she suffered today, she finally lost the courage to continue living.

She found a big tree, picked some vines and weaved a strong rope, preparing to hang herself on the southeast branch.

After working hard for half the night, she couldn't help but show a relieved smile on her depressed face as she looked at the results she had achieved for the first time without relying on others.

Just as he was about to put his head into the rope, a shrill voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"If the girl were to die right now, wouldn't the humiliation she endured today be in vain?"

She turned her head when she heard the voice, and saw a tall and thin figure slowly walking towards her.

The two servants behind him were holding lanterns in their hands. The faint light was trembling in the rain and was so weak that it could go out at any time.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

She questioned unhappily.

I didn't expect that even asking for death would not bring me peace.

When the man came closer, she took a closer look and immediately formed an impression in her mind.

"Are you with the little emperor?"

Guessing something, she grasped the vine rope with caution.

Little emperor?

Hearing this name, the visitor couldn't help but frown.

"Our Juan has come here specifically to protect the girl."

Knowing that she had a grudge against the emperor, Hu An hurriedly explained: "Miss Yunling, His Majesty did not really want to punish you. It's just that you were too reckless."

"I'm reckless?"

Yun Ling thought about it and felt that the emperor was showing mercy.

If he really wanted to punish himself, he could just beat him to death. Why should he be so soft-hearted?

It seems that the young emperor really values ​​the prince and himself.

"What does Eunuch Hu want from me?"

She untied her hands from the vine ropes and immediately became much kinder to Juan.

"We just feel sorry for the girl and can't bear to see her suffer this in vain."

Juan sighed softly: "Prince Lu's affection for the young lady is seen by not only our family, but also by His Majesty."

"What's the use?"

Yun Ling was filled with anger at this moment: "This hypocrite finally chose that bitch."

Juan smiled faintly: "That's only because the girl didn't fight for it."

"Why do you think I didn't fight?"

Yun Ling was not convinced: "I was almost ready to fight that bitch, but she refused to take the fight and always pretended to be weak and pitiful. How can I fight her?"

She curled her lips and said sadly, "Besides, that bitch has the Fu family and the prince and princess to support her. How can I compete with her?"

"This is exactly why the girl lost."

Juan patiently analyzed for her, "She can act weak and pitiful, so why can't you? Not to mention that Master Lu truly loves you, the girl. If you use your brain correctly, why worry that Master Lu won't change his mind about you?"

Yun Ling's eyes paused and he fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly said, "But that bitch is already the Crown Prince's Consort. It was His Majesty who canonized her. No matter how I fight for her, I will only be a concubine."

"I will not humble myself to others and be their mistress. If I want to be Linchu's prince's consort, I will be his only woman."

Juan was very satisfied with her arrogance and confidence.

"If the girl has this determination, she should face the challenge head-on."

Yun Ling had already realized that this person came to see her for more than just comfort, so she quickly asked, "From what Eunuch Hu said, you want to help me?"

Hu An did not make it clear at first, but only said: "Since ancient times, even the queen of a country has been deposed and enthroned, not to mention the princess of a prince's mansion. Miss, you should take a long-term view and learn to be patient and dormant."

After thinking for a while, he directly prompted: "Let me ask you, young lady, what does Master Lu care about most now?"

Yun Ling raised her eyebrows: "Du Jiuniang is dead. Besides me, of course the two children are in the prince's heart."

Hu An smiled with relief: "Yes, young lady, as long as you can stabilize the two children and win the heart of the prince, you don't have to worry about not being able to sit on the position of the prince's consort?"

This was a wake-up call, and Yun Ling's mind suddenly became much clearer.

I can only blame myself for only thinking about romance with the prince in the past and not taking care of his children.

Now that I think about it, I can't blame anyone for the young master not standing on my side today.

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Thank you very much for your guidance, Eunuch Hu. When I become the legitimate consort of the Crown Prince, I will definitely repay you for your kindness today."

Suddenly, Yun Ling felt refreshed all over. She started running, completely forgetting the pain all over her body.

Looking at the figure gradually disappearing into the night, Juan sighed helplessly.

He doesn't seem like a person with any brains.

When he returned to the palace, he learned that Emperor Hui was still waiting in the imperial study, so he hurried to report.

"Is everything done?"

Emperor Hui sat at the desk and asked casually.

"He is just a fool. With a little guidance, he can achieve what Your Majesty wishes."

Juan looked at Emperor Hui cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you really think that woman can disrupt the Liyang Palace?"

Emperor Hui glanced at him impatiently and asked, "Do you have a better idea?"

Juan quickly lowered his head and replied weakly: "I am an incompetent servant and cannot help your majesty."

There was a brief silence in the study room before Hu An dared to look up and ask again: "Your Majesty, do you still want to let the Lu family return south?"

"Your Majesty, do not joke. Since you have issued an edict, you cannot change it overnight."

Emperor Hui also realized today that many civil and military officials in the court were on the side of the Liyang Palace.

Having just dealt with that bunch of corrupt scholars and officials, we cannot immediately point our swords at the army.

Thinking of this, he could only comfort himself: "Lu Linchu is such a fool. If he had said anything to defend that woman today, I would have thought he was a man of courage. But he didn't dare to say a word."

After he finished speaking, he laughed sinisterly: "You say that a loser who can't even protect the woman he loves the most, how much trouble can he cause in the future?"

"What your Majesty said is true."

Juan also agreed with the emperor's reasoning and followed suit.

Emperor Hui's eyebrows flickered, but suddenly frowned: "I just heard Princess Huaiyi complain, saying that the prince of Duke Teng's mansion, Hu Yesheng, deceived the emperor."

"This old man Hu Chongyi has betrayed my grace and brought trouble to the three armies. I have not investigated his crime and even married my only sister to his son. Send someone to investigate thoroughly. If this is true, I will not let him off easily."

"Yes."

Hu An did not dare to hesitate and quickly retreated, sending people to secretly investigate the Duke of Teng's mansion overnight.

The spring rain continued, lasting all night long.

By dawn, the city of Yundu had become a sea of ​​rain.

In front of the Liyang Palace, the servants came out early in the morning to clean up the accumulated rainwater, but they saw a woman kneeling in the middle of the square.

With disheveled hair and a disheveled body, he was washed by the rain, looking so pitiful.

Someone came closer to take a look and discovered that it was Miss Yunling.

Most of the servants disliked the person whom the prince loved the most, so they ran into the palace to report to the prince's wife.

But there were also people who wanted to please the prince and secretly slipped into Yurongju.

Lu Linchu had completely given up on Yun Ling and officially stayed in Tingsong Garden in Jichun last night.

After learning from the servant that Yun Ling had been kneeling in the rain for a long time, he felt a little reluctant, and his dead heart gradually came back to life.

Leaving Jichun behind, he led his men out of the mansion in the heavy rain.
