Chapter 694: No love in life, deep affection after death
"Chang Ru, I still think you are very smart, but don't you understand what Chang Yi is like now? Even if the princess doesn't pursue him, he will die for embezzling military funds! I even think that you are deliberately being stupid at this critical moment. I think you have other purposes!"
Chang Ru moved her lips but said nothing. Unprecedented despair surged over her like a tide, and she was instantly carried to the bottom of the water by the wave.
A strong feeling of suffocation enveloped her, and she felt so helpless.
The corruption of the army is a big deal. Since the Empress Dowager believes her, she will definitely try every means to stop it! The Emperor only needs to wait for the Princess Taichang to die, and then enjoy the success!
By the time the Empress Dowager realized it, it was too late.
Why did the emperor misunderstand her?
And she said... she had other purposes?
She was intent on planning for him, what other purpose could there be?
Someone must have said something in front of the emperor, which caused a misunderstanding between the emperor and her! And thus alienated the relationship between her and the emperor!
A person suddenly popped up in Chang Ru's mind.
Susu!
It must be her!
In order to win the emperor's favor, she used this trick against her!
"Your Majesty, please calm down and think about it. Is this arrangement I made all for your sake? I don't want to say anything else. I believe that Your Majesty can sense my feelings for you." Chang Ru used a tactic of advancing in order to retreat.
Based on the emperor's feelings for her, she believed that he would figure it out.
At this time, she still hadn't figured it out.
Xiao Wenxuan had no feelings for her at all. After marrying her, he was full of calculations.
Chang Ru stepped back.
Even though the emperor misunderstood her, she still had to consider the overall situation.
She still had to go see Chang Yi.
As for Su Su, she had her own way to deal with her. She had kept Su Su for so long, if she kept her any longer, she would be raising a tiger to cause trouble!
……
In the evening, Ji Chuhe received news from the palace.
This time, it was sent by Susu.
Tell her that Chang Ru has taken the bait.
Susu had also prepared a trap, waiting for Chang Ru to fall into it.
Ji Chuhe only said one thing: You must pay attention to your own safety. It is not worth risking your life for these people.
When Susu received Ji Chuhe's reply, she was touched.
She doesn't want to die now.
In the past, her purpose in life was revenge.
As long as she can get revenge, her own life doesn't matter, and she doesn't want to live in this world anymore.
Now, she has found a new direction.
I can't bear to die.
She wanted to stay by the lady's side, serve her well, and stay with her for the rest of her life.
……
Chang Ru went to meet Chang Yi as she wished.
When she saw Chang Yi, she almost didn't recognize him.
Chang Yi was seen wearing a white prison uniform, with chains on his hands and feet, his hair disheveled, and huddled in the corner of the cell.
Hearing the noise, there was no reaction.
"Father." Chang Ru called out.
Chang Yi then showed some movement. He slowly turned around and looked at Chang Ru. Suddenly he stood up and rushed towards Chang Ru, grabbing Chang Ru's hand.
"Ru'er, have you arranged everything for your mother's funeral? Let her be buried as my wife!" Chang Yi said excitedly.
Chang Ru was stunned for a moment, tears welling up uncontrollably.
"Does it make sense? No matter what my identity was, my mother is gone now!"
"It's my fault, it's all my fault! I was the one who killed your mother. If I hadn't listened to the Princess Dowager and let her go with her, how would the Princess Dowager have had the chance to attack her!" Chang Yi was filled with deep regret.
Chang Ru also felt unhappy.
Her mother must have waited her entire life for these words.
When I was alive, I waited until there was no hope left. But after I died, I waited for this day.
"I came here today not to tell you about my mother's funeral, but to tell you another piece of news."
"what news?"
"After careful consideration, the Empress Dowager and the Princess Royal have decided to marry you. They want to keep you."
"No!" Chang Yi refused categorically, "I will never marry the Grand Princess! My wife Li Wan! She's your mother!"
A sneer appeared on Chang Ru's lips. "My mother is already dead! What's the point of doing all this? When she was alive, you never took her to heart! If you really feel that you are wrong and want to confess to her, after you die, kowtow to her on the road to the underworld to make amends!"
Chang Yi slid to the ground, looking extremely painful.
"It was the Princess Taichang who killed your mother, and you actually want me to marry her. Don't you want to avenge your mother? My mother loves you so much, why are you so selfish!"
"If my mother is still alive, she would support me in doing this. If you die, I will completely lose all my support, so I can't let you die! My mother also hopes that you can take good care of me, right?"
There was a hint of brilliance in Chang Yi's eyes.
"And Yuan'er, he's the one my mother is most worried about. If you die, what will happen to Yuan'er? Have you ever thought about it?"
Chang Yi was persuaded by Chang Ru, "No, I can't die!"
Suddenly, Chang Yi grabbed Chang Ru's hand and his eyes fell on Chang Ru's belly.
Li once happily told him the good news that Chang Ru was pregnant.
"Ruer, tell your father, which side are you on?"
"Father, tell me the truth. From now on, will you stand firmly by my side?"
"Yes! Father will take good care of you and Yuan'er!" Chang Yi's tone was very firm.
"Okay, just having father's words is enough."
……
The Empress Dowager and the Princess Royal summoned Lu Hongru together with Xiao Wenxuan in the Imperial Study.
"Lord Lu, there were some minor conflicts between Chang Yi and the Grand Princess. Now, these conflicts have been resolved. It is no secret that Chang Yi has been in love with the Grand Princess for many years. How could he bear to hurt the Grand Princess? That deputy general must have been deliberately arranged by someone. His testimony is not credible. I believe in General Chang."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she looked at the Princess Grand Princess.
"I also believe in General Chang, so let's drop this case. I will also choose a date to get married to General Chang."
The Princess Dowager was the victim of the case, and she agreed to close the case, so Lu Hongru had no choice but to let the person go.
However, Lu Hongru did not reply immediately, but looked at Xiao Wenxuan.
Today, the situation in the court is turbulent.
Lu Hongru was an even more loyal minister who stuck to his principles.
The one he was loyal to was the one on the throne, so unless the emperor ordered the case to be dropped, he would continue to act according to the rules.
"Since the Grand Princess has said so, the case of Chang Yi murdering the Grand Princess will no longer be tried." Xiao Wenxuan said.
"Yes." Lu Hongru responded immediately.
