Ye Yan'er didn't wake up until dark. Prince Xiao stood in the corridor with a depressed tone, looking up at the moonlight.

Suddenly, waves of melodious flute sounds sounded in my ears.

"Where did this come from?"

The guard replied: "Going back to your lord, this is Danqiong Garden."

King Xiao was slightly stunned. He remembered that Chu Yunning was not good at musical instruments. He was not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could only barely master it.

It's not like she can play such a melodious and moving tune.

This piece of music was something he had never heard before. King Xiao also loved the flute very much, so he couldn't control his steps and went to Danqiong Garden without knowing it.

As soon as the people left, Ye Yaner woke up.

"Where is the prince?"

Luzhu hesitated for a long time, and Ye Yaner twisted her face: "Went to Danqiong Garden again?"

"Concubine, the prince must be helpless. After all, the princess has the support of the queen mother." Lu Zhu racked his brains to come up with such an explanation.

"Crack!"

Ye Yaner waved her hand and slapped Lu Zhu hard on the face, and said angrily: "The Queen Mother's support is not just for a day or two. How could the prince ever take the Queen Mother's words seriously?"

After being beaten, Luzhu dared not speak out in anger.

"Go and tell the prince that I'm awake."

Ye Yaner's jealous heart was about to go crazy. She could endure the ridicule of the world, but she couldn't accept that Prince Xiao fell in love with Chu Yunning.

"yes."

Lu Zhu stood up to leave, but Ye Yan'er suddenly called her out again: "Come back."

Ye Yan'er glanced at the girl in the mirror. She had disheveled hair, a veil on her head and red eyes. She looked like a Rakshasa crawling out of hell, without any sense of beauty.

With such a face, how could Prince Xiao be so sympathetic to her?

"You go to Hanxiang Pavilion and heal my face first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

When a woman loses her beauty, relying solely on men's temporary pity will not last long.

Green Bamboo nodded.

The sound of the flute was melodious in Danqiong Garden. Chu Yunning was sitting under the pavilion, wearing a plain white dress. There was no makeup on her fair face, but she looked particularly soft.

There was a delicate baby doll lying under the girl's knees. She held her chin attentively and raised her head to look at her.

The sound of the flute is sometimes cheerful and sometimes sad, changing very quickly, but the connection is just right and does not feel abrupt.

At this moment, the moonlight was hazy, and the soft and delicate halo shone on the two of them, making them look like a beautiful picture.

King Xiao stood outside the threshold for a long time, unable to regain his senses.

Chu Yunning noticed that someone was staring at her, and when she raised her head, she met Prince Xiao's deep gaze.

The flute stops.

"Why is the prince here so late?"

I heard that Ye Yaner cut her wrist and bled a lot, and it took several doctors to save her.

Shouldn't Prince Xiao be by Ye Yan'er's side at this time?

Why do you still have the leisure to come to her to find a sense of presence?

"I heard the flute playing a little noisy in the middle of the night, so I came over to see who was making the noise."

As soon as Prince Xiao spoke, Chu Yunning rolled her eyes and put away her flute: "Your Majesty, you can go back. I promise not to disturb Concubine Ye's recuperation again."

"I remember that you are not good at music. What have you experienced in the past five years?"

Yes, even playing the flute arouses suspicion.

Chu Yunning smiled bitterly: "I have been trapped for five years, and I have to think of ways to kill the boredom. There is nothing in this world that I can't learn. It just depends on whether I am willing or not."

For the past five years, Prince Xiao had been confining her, ignoring her, and she felt a little ashamed to say it.

Prince Xiao took a few steps forward and approached Chu Yunning, staring at her profile in surprise. He didn't even see the mark of the slap that the eldest princess had made during the day.

"This slap mark was cured using a folk remedy from Aunt Mao's hometown." Chu Yunning quickly explained.

The medicines of this era simply cannot heal injuries that quickly.

Fortunately, Prince Xiao didn't have any doubts. He quickly looked away and said inexplicably: "You have suffered a lot of grievances in the past few years."

Um?

Chu Yunning suspected that she was hallucinating, and then heard Prince Xiao say: "I intend to submit a memorial to make Chu'er the crown prince of Prince Xiao."

When Chu Er was suddenly mentioned, Chu Yunning's face suddenly darkened.

There is only Prince Xiao in this world who is not worthy of mentioning this name.

"People are gone, so what's the use of mentioning these false names? If Chu'er was still here, he would definitely not care about this."

Chu Yunning doesn't care about this. What she wants is to seek justice for Chu Er and pay for her life with her life!

King Xiao was discouraged. He was already very low-spirited and asked why Chu Yunning still looked so indifferent and unwilling to appreciate it. It was like a punch hitting cotton, leaving him powerless.

"After so many years, I know that you have hatred in your heart, Chu'er..."

Chu'er is also a scar on Prince Xiao's heart. Every time he thinks about it, he feels guilty.

That was his first child. He was very beautiful and would stare at him with a pair of bright black eyes and smile at him.

"Back then, quack doctors misdiagnosed and harmed Chu'er. If the prince feels guilty, he should thoroughly investigate the truth and give Chu'er justice to comfort Chu'er's spirit in heaven!"

Chu Yunning secretly tried hard to find the person from back then, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

These people seem to have disappeared from the world, and no trace can be found.

Prince Xiao pursed his thin lips and said softly for a long time: "If you want to blame, blame me. It was me who harmed Chu'er by insisting on his own way."

The love brain is indeed still a love brain and is not reliable at all.

Chu Yunning also didn't expect Prince Xiao to punish Ye Yan'er.

This debt can only be settled by her alone.

As if she thought of something, Chu Yunning's eyes flashed with sparkle, and she wiped them gently with a handkerchief.

King Xiao rarely saw Chu Yunning crying, so he panicked and comforted him unskilledly: "What is this? If there is anything, tell us and we can solve it together."

"In a few days, it will be Chu'er's birthday. He is having a hard time living there alone. His soul is wandering around and he has nowhere to rely on. As a mother, I feel very uncomfortable."

Chu Yunning choked with sobs, half due to acting and half due to the pain in the original owner's heart.

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to invite the master of the Jade Buddha Temple to come to my house to save Chu'er, so that he can reach bliss as soon as possible, and light an eternal lamp for him."

King Xiao recalled that he had not done anything for this child, and he couldn't bear it. He had indeed neglected his duty.

This time Chu Yunning did not refuse, holding Beibei's hand and walking towards the main house, leaving his back, and suddenly paused: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for speaking for Beibei in front of the eldest princess today, the child is my only bottom line

, if anyone tramples on me, I will fight even if I risk my life!"

At this moment, King Xiao suddenly respected Chu Yunning a little more.

As a mother, you are strong. She just wants to protect her children. What's wrong with that?

The next day before dawn, the guards went to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha to invite people.

The monks from the Jade Buddha Temple arrived at Prince Xiao's Mansion before noon.

A hundred people were placed in the front hall and front yard to perform rituals.

The sound of wooden fish knocking could be heard by Chu Yunning from a long distance away. In just one hour, the sky above Prince Xiao's Mansion was filled with a strong scent of sandalwood.

It calms people's nerves and makes them irritated.

Ye Yaner covered her ears: "What's going on outside?"

She finally took the medicine and fell asleep when she heard a noise like chanting sutras.

Luzhu didn't dare to reply, so she asked the little maid to close the door and windows tightly and try to reduce the sound.

"Green Bamboo!"

After Ye Yan'er asked repeatedly, Lu Zhucai said: "The prince invited the monks from the Jade Buddha Temple to celebrate the birthday of the late prince."

"What?" Ye Yan'er was shocked. Chu'er has been dead for five years, how could he be saved at this juncture?

"When did the prince pursue the title of crown prince? Why don't I know any news about it?"

"Just this morning, the prince went to the palace before dawn to ask for an order. The emperor wrote an edict on the spot and agreed."

Chu'er was buried as the legitimate son of the royal family. There was a huge difference between a legitimate son and a heir apparent.

It showed the royal family's recognition of Chu'er and indirectly elevated Chu Yunning's status.

"puff!"

Ye Yan'er couldn't hold back the sweet smell in her throat and spurted it out.
