Chapter 5 Back to the Door

"Miss, Miss..." An urgent cry came from outside the room. The man ran in quickly. When he saw Chu Heng beside the bed, his face turned red and he suddenly knelt down. "I don't know that your highness is here, I hope your highness forgives his crime." He was secretly upset, why he was so reckless just now.

Chu Heng had no impression of this palace maid. She seemed not from the Eastern Palace. Her name for Lin Qingwan should be the dowry girl in the Lin family.

"Your Highness, this is the Empress's personal maid Ling'er." Yu Xi reminded Chu Heng at the right time.

Chu Heng didn't say much, "I miss you, you didn't understand the rules, and you are Qingqing's maid again. I'll spare you once. Don't make such noise again next time, get up."

"Thank you Your Highness" Ling'er stood up and looked at Lin Qingwan with tears in her eyes. "Your Highness, what's wrong with my lady? Why haven't you woke up?"

"Ling'er, don't worry, the empress is just too tired and fell asleep. It's not a big deal." Yu Ran'n wanted to comfort Ling'er again, but was interrupted by Chu Heng. "You all go out and wait, and you are not allowed to come in without orders."

Chu Heng wanted Lin Qingwan to rest quietly, but the maid was around, which was a bit too noisy.

"I'll leave." Yuxi and Yuran pulled Ling'er out of the room.

A few hours later, Lin Qingwan just woke up and saw Chu Heng sitting next to him looking through the official documents. She called out "Your Highness..."

"Awaken?" Chu Heng helped Lin Qingwan up, let her lean in his arms, and then ordered the maid guarding outside the door, "Take the medicine in."

Yu Ran walked in with the medicine and handed the medicine bowl to Chu Heng. Chu Heng took a sip and tried the temperature. It felt a little hot, so he blew the soup and let Lin Qingwan drink it.

Lin Qingwan was just a little tired that day, but Chu Heng asked her to recuperate in bed for a day and two nights, and told the palace servants not to disturb anyone. In fact, Lin Qingwan knew that Chu Heng's order was targeted at Yin Kexin.

Chu Heng went to court in the morning and came to take care of her immediately after the court. Ling'er was restless and often told Lin Qingwan about rumors and major events that happened to the palace people. "Many palace maids are rumored, Miss, you are so celestial and your highness is so fond of Concubine Yin. It's a pity that Concubine Yin is such a good person."

Lin Qingwan could only smile helplessly when she heard this kind of rumors. It seemed that Yin Kexin was still a good person in the hearts of the palace maids in the East Palace, but what kind of person Yin Kexin is really still to be investigated. But Chu Heng is definitely not a person who will be fascinated by beauty. After fifteen years of knowing each other, she only had some superficial understanding of Chu Heng, and she couldn't understand him, and she just felt that he was unfathomable.

"By the way, Miss, I heard that Concubine Shen chose the princess for His Highness the King of Chu, as if he was the granddaughter of Master Jiang Ge."

This news was unexpected by Lin Qingwan. Concubine Shen's actions were so fast. She had just married into the Eastern Palace and sought the greatest benefits for the King of Chu. Although Mr. Jiang's power in the court was not as good as his father, he was already the best choice for Concubine Shen. Although Luo Yinsong was just a granddaughter, her mother Jiang Yunyi was the most beloved daughter of Mr. Jiang. Therefore, in the Jiang family, Luo Yinsong was even more favored than the lady named Jiang.

"Tomorrow is the day you will go back to the door. Can your body stand it?" Chu Heng put Lin Qing in his arms and kissed the beautiful hair in her ear.

"Thank you for your concern, I am not seriously injured." Lin Qing withdrew from Chu Heng's arms without any trace.

Chu Heng chuckled, "Qingqing called me wrong again, I should be punished this time." Chu Heng pulled Lin Qingwan, hugged her tightly in his arms, and kissed her on her lips. Lin Qingwan kept struggling "Dian... Under." Chu Heng heard that her name was still wrong, so he never let her go.

Lin Qingwan had no choice but to whisper "Cheng...Chengzhi". When Chu Heng heard this, he was shocked. Chengzhi was his name, which Ye Zhiqiu thought for him. He hoped that he could inherit the ambitions of his ancestors and become a good emperor in the future.

Chu Heng locked Lin Qingwan in his arms, "How did Qingqing know my calligraphy?"

Lin Qingwan didn't dare to move around this time, for fear that Chu Heng would do anything else. "When I was a child, I accidentally heard my father mention it once."

Chu Heng looked at her affectionately, gently rubbed her white and tender cheeks with his fingers, "Qingqing, you are my faith." Then he picked her up with a strong desire in his eyes.

It was Mu Shu on the day of Lin Qing's return to the sect, and Chu Heng went to the garden to practice swords early. As soon as Yu Xi approached the garden, she felt the sharp sword energy. She bent over to salute "Your Highness the Prince".

"I haven't been guiding your swordsmanship for a while. Let me see if I have made any progress." Yu Xi nodded and responded, took the sword from the rack and started attacking Chu Heng. Chu Heng only used five points of strength, but within a few moves, Yu Xi was defeated.

"I'm disappointed with Your Highness, please punish me." Yu Xi knew that Chu Heng was not using all his strength at all. Although she had made progress compared to last time, she still felt that it was not good enough.

Chu Heng was quite satisfied with Yu Xi's performance today. Her current skills are already at the level of a qualified secret guard. "No need to be punished. The time is almost over. Go and serve the Crown Princess."

Lin Qingwan saw that Yu Xi's face turned slightly red and she had a little sweat. She probably practiced martial arts before coming, so she asked her to rest next to her and Yu Ran made up for herself.

As soon as Lin Qingwan walked out of the room, he saw Chu Heng practicing swordsmanship. The maid waiting with water and towels on the side seemed to be her personal maid Ling'er. Lin Qingwan was a little surprised, but after being surprised, he didn't think anything was there. However, Yuxi and Yuran had been in the East Palace for a long time. They knew some of Chu Heng's habits, and most of the maids in the East Palace also knew about Chu Heng's swordsmanship. Apart from Yuxi, there were no one to serve him. Now many maids have done Ling'er's behavior before, but later they either disappeared or died of illness. The reason is inseparable from the "popular" concubine in Feilan Palace.

Concubine Yin has been in the Eastern Palace for more than three years, but no news has been heard. Concubine Shu in the palace thought of many solutions openly and secretly, but Chu Heng rarely stayed in Feilan Palace. Chu Heng had a person in his heart who had never forgotten for a long time. After more than ten years of waiting, they all saw it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a long-lasting person, and all his love was left to the Crown Princess. Yu Xi and Yu Ran knew this very well and could also control their feelings well and not have any inappropriate thoughts. Therefore, they could stay by Chu Heng's side and cultivate them to become his confidants.

Chu Heng saw Lin Qingwan beside him, threw the sword in his hand on the shelf next to him, and walked quickly towards her, "Qingqing has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Qing shook her head with a smile, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped off the sweat on Chu Heng's forehead. Such a simple act was nothing to Lin Qing Wan. She used to do it for her father and brothers, but for Chu Heng, her behavior made him feel that she was willing to get close to him.

Chu Heng and Lin Qingwan got on the carriage driving towards Lin's mansion. Lin Qingwan had been away from home for three days. Although the days ahead were still long, she really had not adapted to the identity of the Crown Princess. She really missed her days in Lin's mansion.

In the imperial study, the emperor wrote the words "Imperial Power" on a huge piece of paper. He stared for a long time and asked Li Quan next to him, "Is the Crown Princess going back to the door today, right?"

"Your Majesty, it's today that His Highness the Crown Princess took the Crown Princess to Lin Mansion early in the morning."

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a while, "You go back first." Li Quan listened to the order and left the imperial study room and closed the door.

The imperial study room was silent, leaving only the emperor alone. The emperor closed his eyes and pondered. About half an hour later, the emperor knocked on the desk with his finger three times, and a man in black suddenly appeared in the imperial study room. "See Your Majesty."

A trace of struggle flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he still made up his mind, "You should know what I want you to do."

The man in black was stunned for a moment, trying to say something but was powerless. "I obey the order." Then he quietly left the imperial study room, which became silent again, as if no one had ever come in.

The emperor's eyes closed slightly, and a tear flowed out of the corner of his eyes, "Lin Mingcheng...", the emperor recited silently, and then opened his eyes immediately. His eyes were irreplaceable resoluteness and ruthlessness. The hesitation and sadness just now seemed to be an illusion, "Come here!"

Li Quan stood outside the door. When he heard the emperor's edict, he immediately walked into the imperial study room. The emperor stared at Li Quan and said word by word, "Transfer my order, go to Lin Mansion to summon the prince to the imperial study room to discuss matters. Concubine Hua suddenly had an emergency and ordered the Sixth Princess to return to the palace to serve her mother's wife."
