Su Yunting raised his careless eyebrows, but the half-smiling expression on his face did not change, but became more casual: "You discovered such a secret thing? How can I see him in the future?"
Zhou Chenghan pretended to think deeply for a while before speaking: "I haven't thought about it before, but when you mention it, it is very possible. But for the sake of the beauties in the harem, I still have to wrong him."
Lin Qingge: "..."
Haha, how could such a story of pure love happen to them?
One is a man who climbed to the throne through a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, and the other is a profit-seeking businessman. How could he be so romantic?
Besides, there are indeed many beauties in Zhou Chenghan's harem.
With Su Yunting's temperament, if he really had any thoughts about Zhou Chenghan, there wouldn't be many people left in the harem.
Putting her love mind aside, she asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "In these years, Chu Nanfeng and..."
After a pause, she couldn't find a suitable title, so she chose her full name: "How is the relationship between him and Xia Yun as husband and wife?"
Zhou Chenghan did not answer immediately, but looked at Su Yunting.
The first time they looked at each other, she spoke: "I came to you, without even telling him, just to know the real news. Also, is it necessary for you two to collude to deceive me?"
"I'm not trying to lie to you." Zhou Chenghan shook the folding fan in his hand, then took the wine bottle in Su Yunting's hand and took a sip before saying, "If you ask me, an outsider, about the affairs between their husband and wife, I really don't know. He started talking about it. According to outside rumors, their husband and wife are in harmony. After all, there are no concubines in his house, and there is no concubine, only a young lady. "
Do you still need to ask him?
Because of this, she thought that Chu Nanfeng must have feelings for her when he married Xia Yun.
But after hearing the conversation between Chu Nanfeng and Xia Yun today, I felt that things were not that simple.
At the beginning, the relationship between the Su family and Lin Zheng was tense. Chu Nanfeng had already seen the clues, and his attitude towards Lin Zheng was restrained and polite.
She knew very well that it was because of her.
Now Chu Nanfeng's attitude towards Xia Yi makes Xia Yun embarrassed no matter how she feels.
After a few seconds of silence, she said again: "So, how has Chu Nanfeng been in these years? You can always tell."
"Yes." Zhou Chenghan nodded, but his eyes narrowed, as if he was recalling something, "You all know that I didn't walk around the court before, and the court didn't have much foundation. The only minister I could rely on at that time was him. But he was Our situation at that time was also very bad.”
"The late emperor's princes died one by one, and then the late emperor passed away and passed the throne to a sick man like me. Naturally, some people were not convinced. Some people even wanted to attack me in the name of 'Qingjunzi'."
"We were...very tired at that time. We had to deal with all kinds of things every day and prevent all kinds of poisoning. And every decision we made must not make the slightest mistake. Otherwise, we would face irreversible disaster."
Lin Qingge mostly knew about the dangers in the court from history books.
It wasn't until the late emperor's step-by-step planning that she discovered that the most difficult thing to predict in the world is the human heart. And those in power always have millions of ways to play with people's hearts.
Even if this matter is over, what about the next thing?
I don't know whether I should say that she thought too clearly, or that she didn't have the determination to stick with Chu Nanfeng to the end. She chose to retreat and unilaterally cut off all possibilities between them.
Speaking of which…
She raised her eyes to look at Zhou Chenghan, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp: "When we separated, you had a share of the credit."
"The advice I gave you at the beginning was to wait until the late emperor passed away, but I didn't let you leave. As for the decree, it was drawn up by the late emperor before his death and was not handed over to me."
"Really?" she asked softly, really counting every step.
Maybe it's because too much time has passed, or maybe it's because the other person's intelligence is higher than mine, and there's no way to get angry.
He lowered his eyes slightly and recalled what happened that year. It seemed that his emotions were no longer as intense and sad, and he was left with only helplessness.
Zhou Chenghan looked at the woman standing there alone, lowering his head and eyebrows, always feeling that she should sigh or curse.
But no, she had nothing, but her tone was more calm: "Then you have indeed worked harder than me in the past few years. Although I came back from southern Henan and opened stores one by one. But I know very well that there are Zangfeng Valley and Su Family , others don’t dare to really attack me.”
"No one dares to attack you. If you open a store on the border, he will expand the territory."
Meeting her gaze, Zhou Chenghan smiled even more gently: "Didn't you expect it? Don't you think that your original store on the border was already far away from the border? At that time, there were a lot of internal and external troubles. He was fighting everywhere and rarely in Beijing. After the northwest was pacified, he even wiped out all the small tribes near Yixiao Pavilion."
He tsked: "No matter how hard you work, I, the emperor, will really lie down."
"Are you telling me... that he still loves me?"
When she said this, she felt a little unsure.
Lin Qingge has always been confident that whether it is appearance or ability, he is definitely first-class.
But when she said goodbye, Chu Nanfeng experienced the most embarrassing moment in his life. If he didn't hate her, how could he still love her?
"You want to marry him?" Zhou Chenghan asked without answering.
Lin Qingge seemed to have been stabbed, and immediately shook his head, as if he had already thought of the answer: "How is that possible? He is already married and has children."
Thinking that when she was enduring her longing for him all these years, he might be holding his beloved wife and enjoying the tranquility of the years, and he couldn't accept everything calmly.
She closed her eyes and calmed her breathing, and Zhou Chenghan's voice sounded again.
"If you are not prepared to have anything happen with him, what's the point of whether he still loves you?"
Yeah, what's the point?
I can't believe that now, she still has all kinds of impossible fantasies.
"I understand, you still have him in your heart, right?"
Meeting Lin Qingge's eyes that suddenly looked up, he smiled: "With how smart he is, how could he not know? Just a little love is not enough for him to give up everything now. Did the Xia family arrange for someone to go there today?" "
"Not to mention Xia Yun's temperament, with a person like Xia Yi who can't take enough advantage, he is destined to have a tough battle to separate from Xia Yun. And you will stand with him and accompany him to fight this A battle?"
"Also, they say that Lin Guzhu has a weird temperament. But all of us know how much he loves you. How difficult is it to marry his daughter or a second marriage? Also, you committed suicide in front of him, He can’t really watch you die, can he?”
