She nodded slightly, opened her lips and said softly: "I want to enter the palace tomorrow."
King Qi didn't know what she was going to do, so he just hummed and said nothing.
Chu Mingcui's eyes suddenly turned red, tears welled up, and her voice became slightly choked up, "I did some things wrong, and I want to make up for it. In fact, these past two days, I feel very guilty and don't know what to do. I keep getting into trouble. I
I was very afraid of hurting your reputation because of what I did, and of being punished by my father for causing you trouble. Therefore, I tried every possible means to avoid the blame. I really thought I was pregnant, but it turned out to be just a farce. I really regretted it early.
I went to the palace to report it."
She took a breath, raised her head slightly, and stubbornly pushed back her tears, "So, I decided to go to the palace tomorrow to plead guilty and shoulder my responsibilities."
These words were unexpected by King Qi.
He looked at her, and there was sadness, guilt, regret, self-blame, and stubbornness in her eyes.
King Qi held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will intercede for you."
"Well!" Chu Mingcui cried, but she forced herself to smile, which made people feel sad. "Thank you for trusting me. Today... I don't know why I said that.
It’s really crazy.”
King Qi comforted: "Everyone has emotions. Things outside the city have caused such a big fuss. You have good intentions, but you don't want to cause such consequences. Therefore, my father will understand and will treat you lightly."
of."
Chu Mingcui lowered her head, buried it in his chest, and said with a sigh of relief: "Thank you for still being willing to believe in me."
King Qi stroked her hair for a long time and then said softly: "Of course I believe you, you are my princess."
However, his eyes were dull.
He didn't know whether to believe her or not.
He is actually not a fool.
From what Chu Mingcui said today, it can be seen that her thoughts are on the position of the Crown Princess. The enthusiasm in her eyes and the contempt for him in the end cannot be disguised.
On the contrary, gentleness can be disguised.
However, he hoped in his heart that she was true at this moment.
"If you really want me to compete for the crown prince's position, I am willing to do my best, but success or failure is beyond my control," King Qi said.
She raised her head, her eyes full, "It's not that I want you to compete for the position of prince, I just believe that you will become a wise king, so if you work hard, my grandfather will definitely help you."
King Qi smiled, but his heart slowly sank.
He knew he was not, and she knew it too.
This is too false.
Cui'er is very smart and understands the situation very well. She will know the risks involved in fighting for the crown prince's position now.
She didn't show any concern, just told him to work hard.
What was concealed by the tenderness in her eyes was the flame of ambition.
He never believed Yuan Qingling's words, but now he sadly discovered that she was right.
King Qi didn't know what to do and was very confused.
He has an almost harsh requirement for perfection in relationships.
If the relationship is tainted or contains any utilitarian elements, he will feel as sick as swallowing a fly.
