    131: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (End: Shen BE)

    When Su Yan was worried, she saw a tall figure standing at the door. The man was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe. He had a handsome face, delicate and picturesque eyebrows, and the narrow corners of his eyes were slightly raised, adding a bit of evil charm.But the beautiful eyes were a little dim, showing a bit of sadness.

    It was a completely different face, but Su Yan had a feeling that the person in front of her was Gu Chengling.

    She asked tentatively: “Gu… Chengling?”

    The figure at the door moved, and the corners of his mouth curved: “It’s me. I didn’t expect that the princess would recognize me even if I changed my appearance.” Different from the clear and gentle voice of the past, his voice today was hoarse and low, but it was a bit decadent.

    “What are you doing here? You don’t know how many people are arresting you. Let’s go!” Even if Gu Chengling appeared in front of her with a completely different appearance, it didn’t attract much attention from her. The most important thing now was to prevent Gu Chengling from being caught.

    Gu Chengling whispered: “Sure enough, I still don’t like the princess… That’s all, I’ll leave after I finish speaking.” As he said that, he took out a wooden box, “The things inside are what the princess has always wanted.” After saying that, he bent down and put the box on the ground in front of the door, putting it down very gently.

    Su Yan stared at him closely, then met his dark eyes, “Then, princess, we should have no chance of getting married.” Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from Su Yan’s sight, leaving only a wooden box lying quietly at the door.

    Su Yan almost rushed to the door, but she didn’t even see a corner of Gu Chengling’s clothes. She held the wooden box, with hot tears reaching the corners of her lips. She opened the wooden box with trembling hands, only to see a piece of paper and a jade pendant quietly placed in the wooden box. She automatically ignored the rose jade pendant and directly picked up the paper. What came into view were the three characters “Heli Shu”, and the three words “Gu Chengling” were signed at the end, just waiting for Su Yan to add her name.

    Su Yan clutched He Li Shu and burst into tears.

    I don’t dislike you, I’m just afraid that you will be caught and want you to leave quickly…

    I don’t want He Lishu now, I want to be with you…

    I like you…

    But Gu Chengling will never know these unspoken words.

    When Lu Ze came back, he saw Su Yan lying at the door. He stepped forward and picked her up. The wooden box in her arms fell to the ground along with a white jade pendant. There were several interlaced tears on her pale face, and she held a thin piece of letter paper in her hand.

    Lu Ze had no time to think about it, so he hurriedly put her on the bed and sent for the doctor.After a while, Su Yan woke up leisurely, but didn’t say a word.The doctor hurried over and took her pulse. His face was filled with surprise and hesitation when he spoke.

    Su Yan was frightened for no reason, and suddenly said: “Did something happen to the child?”

    The doctor was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, “Princess, your pulse has disappeared!”

    Su Yan said with a pale face: “What do you mean disappeared? Do you mean I had a miscarriage?”

    The doctor shook his head. If it was a miscarriage, he would not be so shocked. “I may have misdiagnosed you before. You are not pregnant.” But even the palace doctor had seen it. What he had detected before was clearly a slippery pulse. Could it be that someone had changed the princess’s pulse?No matter what the reason is, if he is investigated, he may be labeled as a misdiagnosis.

    “Not pregnant? I don’t believe it, go find other doctors!” Su Yan grabbed the quilt and shed tears again.

    In the inner room, a row of doctors knelt down in fear, fearing that the princess would be punished. This pulse could not be clearer. Not to mention pregnancy, there was no sign of miscarriage!

    “Forget it, you all go down.” After recognizing the facts, Su Yan was very calm, but the tears on her face fell one by one like broken beads.

    Lu Ze sighed and went out with the doctors. As soon as he went out, his face became serious and he whispered: “Follow me.”

    “What happened today, you just told the public that the princess had a miscarriage. Your whole family is in my hands. If I let it slip, you should know the consequences!” Lu Ze took them to a remote place and warned them.

    ~~~~~~~~~

    So, even children don’t exist?Su Yan thought silently, but at that time it was clear that even the imperial doctor had diagnosed a happy pulse. Unless someone had changed his pulse, could it be Gu Chengling?

    “Yan Yan, if you want to know, I can tell you everything.” Seeing that she finally had questions in her mind, the system master immediately volunteered.

    Su Yan didn’t say anything, and she acquiesced. The system master then continued: “The happy pulse you had before was caused by inhaling a fragrance. But don’t worry, this fragrance will not cause any harm to your body except temporarily changing the pulse condition.”

    Aroma?Su Yan lowered her eyes and suddenly remembered the unusual fragrance on Gu Chengling’s body on the eve of the arrival of Tianyong’s envoy. Or perhaps thinking further, he had to go to the imperial hospital that time, probably because he was looking for medicinal materials. No wonder she later checked the imperial doctor who had contact with him, but did not find any useful clues.

    “What is his identity?” Su Yan suddenly asked.

    “He used to be the prince of Tianyong Kingdom, but now there is no such person in Tianyong.” Mr. System told her a long story, the content of which was exactly the same as what Gu Chengling told her that night.”Gu Chengling once told you these things, the night you were tapped on your sleeping point.”

    Su Yan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, quietly listening to the system master telling her the original plot.

    In the original plot, the original owner became more and more disgusted with Gu Chengling’s rusticity, and tried to divorce several times but was blocked by the emperor and the queen mother. She finally couldn’t help but find someone to assassinate Gu Chengling when she went to the palace to escape the summer heat, and pushed him off the cliff, creating the illusion that he had fallen off the cliff.

    Gu Chengling didn’t want to spend any more time with the original owner. Moreover, he found out a secret incident from more than ten years ago, which was enough to convince the original owner to side with him. He just took this opportunity to escape, first find an antidote to restore his appearance, and then go back to deal with Emperor Tianyong.

    It was a coincidence that Gu Chengling was going to the Noi tribe to get the antidote, but he happened to save the Noi saint Lan Yue who fell off a cliff while collecting medicine. The Noi tribe thanked him and prepared the antidote for him in a very short time.During this time, the two often discussed medical issues together, appreciated each other, and gradually developed a friendship.

    After Gu Chengling went to the Nightless Kingdom, Lan Yue waited patiently among the clan.

    After Gu Chengling regained his appearance, he entered the princess mansion as a musician. The original owner was naturally attracted by his handsome face and favored him.He took the opportunity to tell the original owner about the old incident. The original owner’s mother-in-law, Concubine Ying, did not die of illness, but was poisoned to death by Emperor Wuye.

    Concubine Ying was originally the most trusted maid of the late emperor. The third prince at that time, who was now Emperor Wuye, was not favored, but he found ways to secretly marry Concubine Ying.The third prince was afraid that the throne would fall into the hands of the second prince, so he secretly poisoned the late emperor. When the late emperor was dying, he handed the imperial edict passed on to the second prince to Concubine Ying. Unexpectedly, Concubine Ying had already sided with the third prince. She secretly hid the imperial edict and fabricated a fake edict of succession, so that the third prince could successfully succeed to the throne.

    Perhaps because she felt ashamed of the late emperor, or perhaps because she was afraid that Emperor Wuye would kill her and silence her, Concubine Ying did not hand over the real edict of succession to Emperor Wuye. As for where she put it, no one knew.

    Concubine Ying’s move made Emperor Wuye feel very uneasy. He was always afraid that she would betray him, but he did not dare to attack Concubine Ying rashly. He just found a secret medicine and secretly drank it for Concubine Ying, which gradually weakened her body and finally “died of illness”.

    Emperor Wuye probably wouldn’t have thought that he would be passionate about this chess piece, but when he found out, Concubine Ying’s poison had penetrated deep into his heart, and there was no cure. He felt regretful and heartbroken, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.He transferred all his guilt and love for Concubine Ying to the original owner, trying to calm his conscience.

    Gu Chengling brought the imperial physician who had given Emperor Wuye the secret medicine to the original owner. After many investigations, the original owner believed the truth about the death of his mother-in-law. Under Gu Chengling’s temptation, he personally handed over the jade pendant left to her by Concubine Ying. Gu Chengling used this to find the edict of succession and made it public. Wuye was in chaos. The second prince, who had been silent for many years, also took the opportunity to contact his old subordinates in an attempt to remove Emperor Wuye from the throne.

    However, the Tianyong Kingdom raised troops at this time. The Wuye Kingdom, which was divided among people, was naturally no match. After a stalemate for half a year, Tianyong’s army finally invaded the Wuye Kingdom’s imperial city. When the city was broken, the Wuye Emperor jumped down from the imperial city…

    From then on, Wuye Kingdom ceased to exist. After Tianyong Kingdom annexed Wuye Kingdom, it successively annexed other small countries. Gu Chengling successfully disintegrated the power of the regent and ascended to the throne, becoming the first famous emperor to unify the seven kingdoms.After that, he married Lan Yue as his queen, and the two grew old together, and they had a good story.

    Although the original owner, Gu Chengling, did not kill her completely, she regretted the catastrophe she had caused to destroy the country, and eventually fell into despair for the rest of her life.

    Jade pendant…Su Yan suddenly remembered that there was a jade pendant in the box that Gu Chengling handed her. Could it be the jade pendant that Mei found the edict to pass on?She sat up in a hurry, only to find that the wooden box was placed beside her pillow. She gently picked up the jade pendant inside, held it tightly in her hands, and suddenly burst into tears.

    Haven’t you already planned everything? What are you going to do for me now?How can I let you go like this?

    ~~~~~~~~~

    After Gu Chengling successfully left the city, he took off the mask on his face, revealing the gentle face that Su Yan was familiar with.His poison has not been cured, but he just wants Ayan to see his original appearance. In fact, he does not need to hand over the wooden box to her. Call him selfish or overbearing. He just doesn’t want to be just a passer-by in Ayan’s life. He wants her to remember him forever and prevent her from being with other men in the future. She can only be his in this life!

    A year later, during this period, the regimes of Wuye Kingdom and Tianyong Kingdom had undergone tremendous changes.Emperor Wuye suddenly passed away. He was in his prime, with only a few princesses and a young prince at his knees. Just when everyone was worried about the decline of Wuye Kingdom, Su Yan, the former idiot princess, stepped forward and dealt with some ambitious royals with thunderous means, supported his younger brother to sit on the throne, and maintained the stability of Wuye Kingdom.

    Everyone in the Wuye Kingdom was grateful and admired the princess, but the most impressive thing about her was not this. Her consort was a spy from the Tianyong Kingdom, and he assassinated the Wuye Emperor. She immediately reconciled with her consort, and ordered the entire city to search for the consort. Hearing that she was pregnant with the consort’s child, she was so cruel that she aborted the baby. Such a righteous act of annihilating her relatives must be admired.

    There are many stories about Princess Chang Le circulating among the people, and even the history books have her prominent mention.

    The Tianyong Kingdom was also undergoing a regime change. Tianyong’s long-dead prince Si Tingmo suddenly “came back to life”. The regent’s evidence of corruption and bending the law was made public and he was exiled to southern Xinjiang. The puppet emperor was frightened and wanted to pass the throne to Si Tingmo, but was rejected. In the end, the throne fell into the hands of Princess Tianyong, who became the first female emperor in Tianyong’s history.

    Su Yan’s health had always been poor, and the imperial doctor was called to diagnose and treat her from time to time. Everyone only thought that she was injured due to miscarriage, but they did not know that her illness was caused by depression in her heart. After the political situation of Wuye Kingdom was completely stabilized, she only brought one maid to the emperor’s temple to repair her body, and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

    In the quiet ancient temple, two people were sitting opposite each other.

    “I thought that with your heartbroken appearance, you wouldn’t care so much.” Lu Ze said slowly. The person sitting opposite him happened to be Su Yan.

    “I will always be the princess of the Nightless Kingdom.” Su Yan said what she said but meant what she said. If he wanted her to be like this, then she would do as he wished.The edict of passing the throne has been destroyed, and the world will never know the secret of that year again.

    Lu Ze looked at her face that was pale due to illness, sighed and said, “You should let it go. Although I was searching for Gu Chengling in your name, he was no longer in the city at that time. I know you blame me, but it is impossible for you and him after all.”

    Su Yan smiled and said, “I know…” But I just can’t let go…

    Three months later, Si Tingmo, the prince of Tianyong Kingdom, passed away. For some reason, Tianyong blocked the news from the outside world.It was not until five years later that the news came out that Si Tingmo was no longer alive. In the same year, Princess Chang Le of Wuye Kingdom died of illness in the imperial temple, and the whole country mourned.

    ~~~~~~~~~

    Si Ting Jiaxue sat on the throne, with a look of regret on her face. If she had known that A Mo would be like this, she would never have forced him. She still remembered that when A Mo heard that Princess Chang Le was weak, a mouthful of blood spattered out. She also heard him saying to himself, “I shouldn’t be so selfish, A Yan, I regret it. I don’t want you to remember me. I just want you to be good…”

    Si Ting Jiaxue has always been a hard-hearted person, but she also shed tears at this time. This silly boy is about to die himself, why does he care about what others do?

    She walked out of her memories, looked at the ever-burning lamp in the hall, and murmured: “You asked me to block the news of your death, but even after five years, she knew the news of your death, and still let you go. With her by your side, you won’t be lonely…”

    The word love really hurts people a lot and hurts people the most.
