step by step

Chapter 212
The man on the side was wearing a gorgeous purple dress, he was extremely handsome, his face was cold, like an iceberg, giving people a sense of alienation that refused to be thousands of miles away.

However, those azure blue eyes seem to be able to captivate people's hearts and souls, making people addicted to them.

This man is indeed Chu Li, the son of Beiliang.

The two sat together, looking a little out of place.

Princess Yingxin closed her eyes slightly, leaning against the soft pillow, revealing her pale face under the hood.

The carriage drove all the way to the palace, and Emperor Donglin summoned Princess Yingxin and the Prince of Beiliang in the imperial study.

Chu Li and Princess Yingxin came together, attracting countless eyes along the way.

"Your Majesty." Princess Yingxin took off her veiled hat and saluted generously.

"Auntie, please get up!" Emperor Donglin quickly helped her up.

I haven't seen him for many years, but the woman in front of me is still beautiful, but her face is deeply tired.

"I heard that my aunt brought the youngest son here, why is there no sign of him?" Emperor Donglin was about to lead Princess Yingxin into the inner room to exchange greetings, but the other party stopped in his tracks and looked to his side with mournful eyes.

Following her gaze, Emperor Donglin saw the handsome young man in the crowd and his pair of blue eyes.

The man said slowly, "The prince of Beiliang will join His Majesty."

Emperor Donglin trembled all over, and only felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet.

He stretched out his right hand to support him, signaling Chu Li to sit down, and his heart sank, "You don't need to be polite."

The eldest son established by the King of Beiliang is not the child of Princess Yingxin!
No wonder Princess Yingxin is so sad and haggard, that's why.

This result is really surprising.

what on earth is it?

Emperor Donglin felt a little confused for a moment.

Princess Yingxin's eyes were painful, and her thoughts flew back to a few months ago.

She also didn't expect that the son of Beiliang who was established in the end was not her son.

A few months ago, the king of Beiliang was assassinated while hunting. He was poisoned and fell into a coma for many days.

When Beiliang was dying, his concubine Yan Zhiji was secretly sent back to the ruins for treatment, but unexpectedly, something happened on the way, and the king of Beiliang passed away suddenly, leaving only an imperial edict that Yan Zhiji brought back to the king of Beiliang All.

And the name written in the edict is Chu Li, the concubine's child, who is now the son of Beiliang.

However, these news have been blocked by the royal family so far, and the people of Beiliang have been kept in the dark. They only think that the king of Beiliang is seriously ill and has passed the throne to his second son Chuli.

Yan Zhiji not only snatched away the position belonging to the legitimate son, but also took away the title and status, and also imprisoned Chu Yuan, the child of Princess Yingxin, leaving him alone and helpless.

This is simply a huge insult to Princess Yingxin.

And the royal family behind Chuli also became scheming, coveting more than ten cities on the border of Tianlu.

They threatened Chu Yuan's life and asked Princess Yingxin to return to court to persuade Emperor Donglin.

Princess Yingxin was reluctant to part with her imprisoned son, so she obediently went to her mother country under Chu Li's supervision.

Thinking of this, tears filled her eyes.

Emperor Donglin realized that there must be something hidden in it, and anxiously wanted to find out the truth.

Chu Li had already sat on the chair at some point, looking at Emperor Donglin calmly with no expression on his eyes.

Emperor Donglin was stared at by him, and felt a little flustered in his heart. He quickly restrained his thoughts, "The prince worked hard all the way with the princess. I think he must be very tired. Let's rest for a while before talking about things."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Donglin turned his head and told the little maid next to him, "Xiao Tao, take your son to the side hall to rest."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Xiaotao responded respectfully, and immediately retreated, leading the crowd away with a wink.

"Yu'er!" Princess Yingxin finally couldn't help crying out, tears wet her entire cheeks, and her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Emperor Donglin couldn't help trembling when he heard Princess Yingxin calling him by his nickname, "Auntie, don't cry, my father knows that I have wronged my aunt these years, and before he passed away, he asked me to make up for my aunt one day. You are in charge!"

Princess Yingxin raised her eyes to look at the young emperor in front of her, tears streaming down her face, filled with emotion in her heart, everything seemed to be back to the beginning.

But, after she told Emperor Donglin the whole truth, would the other party still defend her and help her like this?

She didn't dare to expect that Emperor Donglin would come forward to avenge her, and she only hoped that Chu Yuan could save her for the sake of her past friendship.

But can Emperor Donglin really confront Beiliang for the sake of her son?

Seeing that Princess Yingxin didn't speak, Emperor Donglin thought that Princess Yingxin didn't want to believe him, and quickly explained: "I have always been concerned about the root cause of my aunt's cold feet, and this time I hired the best doctor to treat you. "

"Yu'er, I." Princess Yingxin hesitated to speak, with an extremely tangled expression on her face.

Emperor Donglin hurriedly comforted him: "Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it! No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best."

The corners of Princess Yingxin's eyes glistened with crystal tears, "Yu'er, thank you!"

"Thank me for what! Why do we need to be polite?" Emperor Donglin comforted with a smile.

Princess Yingxin clenched her palms, and finally told Emperor Donglin what had happened in the past year.

After Emperor Donglin listened, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He never expected that Chu Li's position as the son of Beiliang was obtained in this way!

It was even more unexpected that the Beiliang royal family behind him would use this to make trouble and threaten him in an attempt to covet his Tianlu's land.

If the two countries are unable to make peace, or even go to war for this, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Thinking about it this way, he somewhat regretted the promise just now. It is really not worth it to spend a lot of money and people for a married princess!

Seeing his embarrassing expression, how could Princess Yingxin fail to guess what he was thinking.

She also knew that Emperor Donglin could not be blamed for this matter.

The fickleness of the Tian family has been vividly felt since the day she was married and married in Beiliang.

"Yu'er, my aunt knows this is difficult, I just hope that you can remember the friendship that my aunt grew up with you, and try your best to save Chu Yuan, okay?"

Emperor Donglin's face relaxed slightly, and a shrewd calculation flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely make the decision for you, and I will never let those ambitious people in the north harm Chu Yuan!"

Hearing Emperor Donglin's assurance, the anguish in Princess Yingxin's heart gradually dissipated, revealing a hint of a smile.

After Princess Yingxin left, Emperor Donglin went to the side hall to meet the seventeen-year-old son of Beiliang for a while.

However, what he planned in his heart ran counter to Princess Yingxin's intention.

A few days later, another news came out from the palace, saying that the Beiliang royal family had changed their status, coveted the land on Tianlu's border, and united with the ministers of the DPRK and China, intending to take the opportunity to send troops against Tianlu.

For the sake of harmony between the two countries, the Prince of Northern Liang reached an agreement with Emperor Donglin not to engage in war for the time being, so as not to cause the relationship between the two countries to deteriorate and allow other countries to reap the benefits.

The price was that the Emperor Donglin cut off the two cities of Beihuang, and sent them to Jindu and the main city of Beiliang respectively with the prince Chu Yuan of Beiliang and his biological mother Princess Yingxin as hostages.

　Tomorrow is the plot and foreshadowing of the royal family. The heroine appears in Chapter 2, and there are not many scenes.
