Chapter 39
Ever since witnessing the queen's death, Chi Zhen seemed to be living in hatred.

In particular, when he watched his father doting more and more on that hypocritical concubine Jing, he realized that he seemed incapable of changing the status quo, let alone avenging his mother.

He understood that as a child born to his beloved, his father loved him.

So when Concubine Jing proposed to raise him, the emperor refused her request once in a while.

But this kind of love is not enough to resist Concubine Jing's hatred and fear towards him.

From then on, Chi Zhen calmed down, hid all her emotions, and concentrated on making herself stronger to protect herself.

I don't know how much thought and energy I spent just to identify the poison.

After becoming the crown prince, he even searched for opportunities to travel all over the world. While looking for the maid who murdered his mother back then, he weaved and expanded his power network step by step.

He knew what Concubine Jing wanted.

Including Chi Yan secretly befriending powerful officials, and even hooking up with Miss Dingguo's mansion, he saw it all.

But he still easily grasped what the mother and son wanted firmly in the palm of his hand, so that they couldn't touch it at all.

Every time Concubine Jing performed in front of her father, in his opinion, she seemed like a clown.

However, he didn't expect that his father would suddenly betroth the concubine of Dingguo's mansion to him as the crown prince.

According to his secret guard's report, that young lady was pampered and arrogant, and although she didn't have many bad intentions, she was simple-minded and easily manipulated by others.

Hearing all this, he stopped thinking about stopping this marriage.

With a simple mind, it is indeed easier to control than other women.

Coincidentally, he also rarely became interested, wanting to see what kind of stupid things Concubine Jing and Chi Yan would use this woman to do.

On their wedding night, he sat alone in his study, leisurely waiting for that woman to make trouble in the Eastern Palace.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was the news that she had fallen asleep directly.

For a moment he didn't know how to react.

So, he couldn't help but went to her bedroom early the next morning, wanting to find out.

However, the moment he met her eyes, all the calculations in his mind disappeared.

Only one thought remained.

It's a good thing she married him.

In the later time, he stood aside and observed her carefully.

Her every move, even a small expression, was so vivid and lovely, it involved his thoughts.

It also made him, who has long forgotten what joy is, happy in his heart.

However, he also found that she was avoiding him.

As for the reason
He suddenly remembered the news that the secret guard reported to him a few days before the wedding.

Finally realized that Chi Yan also possessed something that he longed for but couldn't get.

He looked at her resisting and stiff appearance by his side, even though his heart ached, he had to endure it.

Take it easy, he told himself, he had a lifetime to wait for her to accept him.

He originally thought so, but he never thought that just a polo meeting would disrupt everything.

He naturally knew how Chi Yan got her heart in the first place, so he knew that Chi Yan was provocative, but he still naively challenged him, just to take Chi Yan's place in her heart.

However, she still proposed to reconcile.

At that moment, he lost all his patience and reason, he could only completely turn her into his own first, and cut off her thoughts.

And she did as he wished and agreed to stay by his side.

But he always felt that she didn't seem to care about everything.

It seems that no matter where you go and who you are with.

He can even be sure that once she has other choices, she will leave him without hesitation.

For the first time, he experienced the feeling of helplessness.

So he could only hurry up and finish the other things at hand, lest she escape from him while he was distracted.
The net had already been cast, but he no longer had the patience to continue playing with the prey in the net.

He directly wiped out Chi Yan and the Jiang family.

There is also Concubine Jing, who has long been in a mess.

It no longer makes any sense to him to continue to regard the hatred of these people as the most important thing.

His only thought now is to drive away any possibility of her leaving him.

However, he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to expose all the things he was worried about, and then spend a lifetime telling him.

The "companion" she said has never been a lie.
