She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Wei Yun was gloating over Xiao Chongyu's misfortune while applying medicine to him:

"You are so smart. In such a dangerous situation, how can you be a hero and save the beauty? My cousin is not the kind of person who will let herself suffer. You are just flirting with a blind man."

Seeing that Xiao Chongyu just frowned and didn't say anything, he continued: "Now you understand, do you really need to be a hero to save the beauty? When my cousin needs you, she will naturally not be polite."

He didn't use any light force when hitting her. Xiao Chongyu suspected that he did it on purpose. No matter how patient he was, he couldn't help but gasp: "Shut up."

Wei Yun wrapped his entire right shoulder and tied it tightly, which made Xiao Chongyu frown again.

He said coldly: "You don't understand the fear in my heart."

"Afraid?" Wei Yun scooped up the water in the basin to wash his hands. "What are you afraid of?"

Xiao Chongyu put his clothes back on himself: "I'm afraid Cang Cang will leave with Xiao Chongling and abandon me completely."

Wei Yun picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands: "Can't you see that the princess is obsessed with the position of queen? You can rest assured that as long as you hold on to this position, the princess will not leave you."

Xiao Chongyu's right hand was not convenient, so he just tied the belt hastily, and his clothes were a little messy.

He chuckled, "What if Cang Cang wants the position of Queen and Xiao Chongling at the same time?"

Wei Yun turned around and looked at him, and said in amazement: "I never thought that you would be like this resentful woman."

He rolled his eyes and gave Xiao Chongyu some bad advice:

"It's useless to use self-torture tactics or heroic means to save the beauty. Why don't you tell the princess how you risked regicide in order to protect her life from being discovered by the late emperor and causing her death."

Xiao Chongyu shot him a sharp look: "I don't want Cang Cang to bear these things. She doesn't need to know them in her life."

Wei Yun shrugged: "Then there is nothing we can do. Just be frightened."

He walked to the door, pushed it open and reminded again before leaving:

"However, you must keep this secret well. If people knew that you are not of royal blood but a fake, your position would be unstable and the princess could be snatched away by Xiao Chongling."

After Wei Yun finished speaking, he pushed open the door, and the relaxed expression on his face suddenly froze.

"Princess... no... Madam."

Shen Weicang felt as if he had heard something extraordinary.

What is stealing and what is a fake?

There were messy footsteps in the house, and Xiao Chongyu, with a look of horror on his face, appeared in front of her in dishevelled clothes.

Wei Yun knew something was wrong and immediately ran away: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

"Cang Cang, please listen to my explanation..."

As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Chongyu followed Shen Weicang into the inner room.

Shen Weicang sat down on the couch: "Okay, you explain."

She wanted to hear how Xiao Chongyu would argue.

Xiao Chongyu pursed his lips, as if he had made a great determination: "I will tell Cang Cang everything, as long as Cang Cang doesn't leave me."

Seeing Shen Weicang put the bowl of soup on the small table on the couch, his eyes lit up: "Did Cangcang bring this for me?"

Shen Weicang nodded: "Chongyu was injured because of me, I feel bad."

However, he actually hid such an important thing from me. Shen Weicang thought about it and pushed the bowl of soup over: "Chongyu, drink it while it's not too cold or too hot, and then we can talk about other things."

Xiao Chongyu was overjoyed and picked up the soup bowl and took a big sip.

Then he realized that this was delivered by Cang Cang himself. He gobbled it up so fast that it went into his stomach without tasting anything. He felt really sorry for Cang Cang's kindness.

So he picked up the spoon again and drank it slowly, spoonful by spoonful.

Shen Weicang frowned as he watched. Is it necessary to drink such a small bowl of soup so slowly?

After waiting for Xiao Chongyu to put down the bowl of soup, Shen Weicang smiled and said, "If Chongyu likes it, I will come to give it to you often in the future."

Anyway, she didn't cook it, so it was just a soup.

Xiao Chongyu was deeply moved: "I know Cang Cang loves me in his heart, and we are destined to be a couple."

He pursed his lips and began to talk about something he had not mentioned before.

The late emperor was afraid of Di Zheng, who had many disciples everywhere, and kept supporting forces in the court. The Jiang family was one of them.

Queen Jiang was of ordinary birth. The Jiang family was supported by the late emperor, so she was naturally loyal to him and was in direct opposition to Di Zheng's faction.

Queen Di was drifting further and further away from the late emperor and his wife. When she saw that Concubine Jiang had successfully given birth to the emperor's eldest son, they seemed like a family of three. Queen Di couldn't help but think of her lost child.

At this time, envoys from Southern Qi came to Beiye and proposed to join forces to fight against Western Dan through marriage.

The resentment in Queen Di's heart drove her to make a bold decision.

She noticed that the second prince of the Nanqi delegation fell in love with her at first sight, so she found an opportunity to trick him into spending a night with her around the first day of the new year, and successfully became pregnant.

Afterwards, taking advantage of the fact that the late emperor stayed in the palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month, Empress Di quickly found a suitable opportunity to announce the news of her pregnancy.

She was worried that she was not carrying a boy, so she went to find her good friend Princess Qingyang who was also pregnant.

If she gave birth to a baby boy, everything would be fine. If she gave birth to a baby girl and Princess Qingyang gave birth to a baby boy, the two would look for an opportunity to swap the babies.

If both of them give birth to baby girls, they can only regard it as God's will.

"Later, my mother and Princess Qingyang swapped us."

Shen Weicang never dreamed that such a thing would happen.

She was shocked and said, "So, you are the fake prince, and I am the real princess."

Xiao Chongyu pursed his lips and corrected her: "Cangcang, you are not of the royal bloodline of Beiye, so you cannot be considered the Princess of Beiye."

Shen Weicang disagreed: "The emperor's daughter is a princess, why can't the queen's daughter be a princess?"

Xiao Chongyu concluded: "......"

She then asked, "Since Queen Di has the Imperial Guards under her command, she must have played a significant role in the late emperor's seizure of the throne, right?"

Xiao Chongyu nodded.

"If that's the case, since the late emperor could have princes and princesses with other people, why can't Empress Di have a princess with other people?"

Xiao Chongyu was convinced by her: "Cang Cang makes sense."

He had always wondered why Queen Di would take the risk of finding someone else if she could sleep with the late emperor.

Just now, when Shen Weicang asked him, he realized that Queen Di might have harbored a revengeful intention and wanted the late emperor to make someone else's child the crown prince and inherit the throne.

Shen Weicang's mind became active.

She had thought before that she should completely trust Xiao Chongyu unless he had some evidence in her hand.

I didn't expect that he actually had such a big handle and handed it to her himself.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Xiao Chongyu held her hand and said, "I'm going to give all my secrets to Cang Cang. Can Cang Cang trust me?"

Shen Weicang looked at him.

"I know Cang Cang has always been worried that I will change my mind in the future. If I let Cang Cang catch me, will Cang Cang trust me and stay with me?"

Xiao Chongyu's eyes were full of pleading.

Shen Weicang withdrew his hand, stood up and walked out.

Xiao Chongyu lowered his head, hiding the helplessness in his eyes.

He had no other choice. Even telling this matter to Cang Cang on purpose couldn't completely impress her.

Shen Weicang walked to the door, but turned around:

"Chongyu, I can feel your feelings for me. Today, I hurt you, but you protected me wholeheartedly. How could I deserve you to treat me like this?"

Xiao Chongyu suddenly raised his head: "Cang Cang, I..."

Shen Weicang sighed:

"Chong Yu, of course I want to stay by your side. What are you thinking about all day? I'm just worried that you'll kill your brother King Jing. Although you're not brothers, I don't want to see you do that. Can you promise me to let him go?"

Seeing Xiao Chongyu about to get up and walk towards him, Shen Weicang stopped him: "Chongyu, don't get up. You are injured. You need to rest more."

Xiao Chongyu was frozen in place by her words. He remained half-raised and stared at her blankly, with a dazed and silly expression on his face.

"Cang Cang, is what you just said true? You want to stay with me and won't leave me, is that true?!"

"Of course it's true. Chongyu is so sincere to me, so I naturally love Chongyu," Shen Weicang said softly, "But Chongyu also has to promise me that he won't hurt brother King Jing."

"Of course! Of course!" Xiao Chongyu's heart suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the valley, and he stuttered a little, "I swear to Cang Cang that I will never attack Xiao Chongling. If I break this oath..."

Shen Weicang interrupted him: "Chongyu, you don't have to swear, I believe you."

After saying that, she smiled faintly: "Chongyu, take more rest. The Queen's coronation ceremony will be held in three days. I don't want my husband to be unable to hold on for the entire ceremony."
