A ray of light flashed from the bottom of his eyes, which also made Shen Ran's eyes look determined to win.
Fortunately, the queen was not dragged down by the prince this time, otherwise, the Shen family would have really lost all their support.
"The Queen's life has been a bit difficult recently. Let's find out some of the dowry left by Lan Ruoying and give it to the Queen."
Shen Ran's voice paused and continued: "This time, don't let Shen Qingluan see anything."
Bai Yue smiled: "I understand."
…
Qingxiao Kingdom.
There are rockeries and flowing water, and there are few moon and stars.
Lin Chen stood under the rockery with one hand on his back.
He was dressed in a bright yellow robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and was majestic.
Gao Cong stood behind Lin Chen, looking at the aloof emperor in front of him, feeling a little sad in his heart.
Two months ago, the prince used the power of the Lan family to attack the Qingxiao Kingdom and regained the country in one fell swoop.
But--
But it no longer worked for him.
He had just registered and had a lot of government affairs to deal with. He spent all his time dealing with government affairs. His only pastime was just looking at the portrait of the princess in a daze.
In two full months, he stabilized the people's hearts and rectified the imperial court, but he also lost all emotions. He remained cold and cold all day long and never smiled at anyone.
"Your Majesty..." Gao Cong looked at the man facing the rockery sadly, "The princess is dead, but Your Majesty, you cannot live in the past forever, otherwise the princess' spirit in heaven will not rest in peace."
Lin Chen looked around: "In the past, I often flew kites with her in this yard, and my father often told me to stop playing with things, but as soon as she acted coquettishly with me, I forgot everything and just wanted to accompany her. she."
"I remember one time, I made a mistake and was punished by my father to kneel down. It was very cold at that time and I was infected with the wind cold. Such a little girl jumped into the lake and caught a fish. She said that she would make soup for her. I drink."
"She has always been pampered, and her father, the emperor, and her mother also doted on her. When did she ever cook? That fish soup was really salty and fishy, but it was also the most delicious fish soup I have ever tasted."
"Later, after the traitor killed my father, the queen, and my mother, I took her to escape. But I only wanted to restore the country and take revenge. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to follow, so I left her in the town."
"At that time, she kept holding my legs and crying. She said she was not afraid of hardship or death, and just wanted to follow me. But why didn't I take her with me?"
He knelt down and covered his eyes tightly with his hands.
All the memories filled his mind.
Even now there is no way to make him forget.
"If I take her away, can I protect her and she won't be alone outside..."
It's all his fault!
His father, the emperor, and his mother were dead, and she was his only relative. But now that he has lost even this relative, what's the point of restoring the country?
"If I could go back to the day I parted from her, even if we were living together in a small town, we would be happy and healthy for the rest of our lives, which would be better than being separated from her now."
It has been two months. In these two months, Lin Chen has never shown any emotions.
He neither cries nor laughs, just like a piece of wood.
So this was the first time that he released all the emotions in his heart.
Crying so hard that my heart breaks!
Gao Cong looked at Lin Chen in front of him: "Your Majesty, do you want to know the latest news that your subordinates have found?"
Lin Chen turned his back to Gao Cong and said nothing. The pain in his heart was like spring water, flowing continuously and unable to stop no matter what.
"The princess gave birth to a daughter back then. The daughter was cute and well-behaved. The princess really liked him. They all said that the princess would only stare at the sky in a daze on weekdays. Only when she saw the daughter would she smile happily.
"
Lin Chen's body stiffened.
It was only now that he remembered that he had a niece who was missing.
"During those years of waiting for His Majesty, that daughter was the only support for Her Majesty the Princess. If it weren't for her existence, the Princess might not be able to survive long ago——"
Gao Cong's words made Lin Chen close his eyes. His handsome face was pale, and he slowly asked: "That child... what's his name?"
"Ning'er," Gao Cong looked at Lin Chen, "people in that town call her Ning'er. She is a very well-behaved and filial child."
"People in the town told me that that year, the princess fell ill, and Grandma Zhao worked for another family. However, the employer withheld the money and did not pay the monthly payment, so the family had no rice and grain. It was the child who carried the bowl.
Every household goes begging.”
"The winter that year was very cold, and her hands were so cold that they cracked sores. But she was able to survive that winter only by begging for rice..."
"Without her master, the princess might not have been able to survive that winter, right? Logically speaking, her existence was not voluntary by the princess, but the princess did love her very much."
Lin Chen clenched his fists tightly, and when he thought of the man who bullied his sister, rage surged in his heart.
But the child is innocent.
That child is still of their Qingxiao Kingdom bloodline.
"That child...has she been found?"
Gao Cong said respectfully: "The news from the spies is that after the death of the princess, Aunt Zhao took the little princess to the Tianfeng Dynasty..."
Tianfeng Dynasty?
Lin Chen lowered his eyes: "I remember that the daughter of the Lan family seems to be in the Tianfeng Dynasty."
Lan Ruoying!
This was the only thing the Lan family asked him to do after helping him.
After what happened to the Lan family, he withdrew from the world and never appeared again.
But until now, Lin Chen didn't know that the Lan family had a daughter in Tianfeng Dynasty.
The Lan family was concerned about their daughter and could not visit her, so he had to do it for her.
"Gao Cong, please make arrangements. I am going to Tianfeng Dynasty."
He slowly stood up and spoke firmly: "I will personally welcome the little princess back! From now on, she will also be in the position of princess, and her status will not be weaker than that of my future daughters!"
The daughter of a princess is usually called the princess, but Lin Chen still named her princess.
You can see this love!
Gao Cong responded respectfully: "Yes!"
Perhaps only the return of the little princess can relieve the pain in His Majesty's heart.
Only she can help His Majesty get over the grief of losing his sister...
"Your Majesty, regarding the selection of concubines..." Gao Cong was silent for a moment and then asked.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the most common thing the courtiers have done is to advise His Majesty to choose a queen and have a concubine. Some people even want to give their daughter to him directly.
But until now, His Majesty still has not agreed to accept the concubine.
The year His Majesty ran away, the Princess was still young, and His Majesty was only two years older than the Princess, so he had not yet married a wife.
Later, he was too busy restoring his country and had no intention of falling in love, so he kept delaying it.
But now, His Majesty doesn't seem to have these thoughts. He seems to be uninterested in anything except government affairs.
