Uncle, this palace is not going to sleep tonight

Chapter 177

Staring at his "wife", Chu Ziyan discovered for the first time that Liu Meier was such a distressed woman.He knew that she was smart and understood her means. He always felt that Liu Meier was a strong woman, no matter what the situation was, she could be so indifferent.

It's the same now, obviously, obviously life is at stake, while she said "fear of death", she was not afraid at all.

Had he never seen through her?

"Your Highness, have you never thought of competing with the emperor's uncle for the throne?" She looked into his eyes, and her eyes met.

"The throne... is destined not to be mine." Chu Ziyan sighed, "Back then, the emperor's uncle was supposed to succeed to the throne. It was the father who forced the emperor's mother, Empress Jinghong, to marry Princess Wanhe. Take the throne from the emperor's uncle. Father thinks that being the emperor is the best thing in the world, but he doesn't know that such actions will one day bring retribution."

"Do you believe in retribution?" She asked with a sideways glance
"Believe it, how can you not believe it. For example, after the emperor ruled the country, he faced the emperor's uncle every night and every day, wouldn't it be uncomfortable. For example, the emperor's uncle, even if he cultivated party members in the court and monopolized power, but he never I have harmed my father, but my father is still suffering from a long illness, and now he is about to die... Tell me, isn't this retribution?"

Chu Jinyu, indeed has a very high means. He has not concealed his ambition to be the emperor, but he has not let people catch him, so the emperor knows that there is such a huge threat around him, but there is nothing he can do about it. ——Is this also what Chu Jinyu wants? He wants the emperor to worry day and night, restless in sleep and food, and the aloof emperor is like a plaything in his palm.

"So, you don't want to fight with the emperor's uncle because all this belongs to the emperor's uncle?"

"Yes, and no." Chu Ziyan smiled soothingly, reflecting the moonlight in the lotus pond, "Everyone has their own different pursuits, such as you, you want to survive. For example, the emperor uncle, he wants the throne. For example, I , I just want to go far away, take my beloved with me, and never set foot in this turbulent and ruthless imperial family.”

with loved ones...

away from home...

Chu Ziyan, you don't know, when you said this sentence, the overflowing sense of happiness almost overwhelmed me.

"Your Highness...if the emperor dies, what will you do?"

"Father died, and I can't survive."

"Your Highness, if you die, what about me?"

"You...probably, with the means of the emperor's uncle, probably..."

"Probably kill me, let me use a 'normal' reason to bury you in the imperial mausoleum. Is that right?"

"should be."
