Chapter Ninety-Three: Choice

  "What are you going to do?"

  When the killing intent surged to an extreme, what followed was a real-life showdown. Chen Ye's figure flashed by, forcibly inserting himself into that chaotic scene.

  "Hum!"

  Four gas machines, quickly withdrawn. Only then did Chen Ye see the situation here clearly, but just a glance later, his eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a hint of bitterness in his expression.

  The masked woman had once come to kill Chang Weiran, and now that they met again, how could there be a time for peaceful coexistence? He couldn't have thought of the reason why the four of them wanted to fight it out, nor did he think that the former was actually someone by Princess Xuanling's side.

  No wonder!

  However, Princess Xuanling, why did you want to kill Chang Weiran?

  "Brother Chenye, are you okay?"

  Xuan Ling, who had composed himself, glanced at Chang Wei Ran with a provocative look, then walked over to Chen Ye's side. Just like when they were young, he gently took Chen Ye's arm and said in a low voice, "Chen Ye gege, I was worried sick about you."

  "Isn't everything all right now?"

  Although both sides have their own reasons for their identities, Chen Ye cannot make promises to Xuan Ling, but this does not hinder the two of them from interacting with each other after putting aside their identities.

  Just like when they were young, Chen Ye pinched Xuan Ling's nose and smiled at Chang Weiran, saying: "Thank you, Miss Chang, for your help that day."

  "Do we need to be so polite with each other at this hour of the night?"

  There is a deep-seated jealousy and murderous intent lurking in her eyes, she can't be as close to Chen Ye as Xuan Ling is, this helplessness makes one feel unwell.

  But she's not an ordinary person, after a faint smile, the wheelchair slowly moved to Chen Ye's front, took out that strange flower that Chen Ye hadn't taken away yet, handed it over and said: "The flower blooms in pairs, the moon is full and people are reunited! It was here with me all this time, although I had companions accompanying me, but I always felt that it was still thinking of you."

  This time, Chen Ye did not refuse and directly took the strange flower. He then smiled and said: "Miss Chang, Old Man Qian, please come in and let's continue our conversation!"

  "Brother Chenye, there's still something to be done, right, Sister Chang?" Princess Xuanling turned around and winked at Chang Weiran, the threatening implication was clear!

  Chang Wei Ran's eyes were stern, just as he was about to say something, Qian Wu Xin lightly pulled him down. Chang Wei Ran let out a soft sigh in his heart and said: "Yes, I still have something important to attend to. Chen Ye, when you're free, I'll come find you."

  Chen Ye nodded slightly, not staying with her for long. With Xuan Ling and the masked woman present, it was indeed not suitable to linger. Moreover, since Xuan Ling had come, bringing the masked woman along, he must have some matters to discuss with him. These were not things that Chang Wei Ran could know about.

  Turning around the street corner and looking back, the line of sight towards the Town King's Mansion was ruthlessly blocked.

  His usual calm and collected demeanor suddenly gave way to a hint of helplessness!

  In front of Princess Xuan Ling, even if she had never admitted defeat, how could she not be clear that compared to the former, she didn't have any outstanding aspects. Although it's said that in emotions, there is no comparison, but the feelings between Xuan Ling and Chen Ye seemed unnecessary to mention.

  "Miss, you've fallen for it." Qian said helplessly.

  "Heh heh, can I not get entangled? Zhen Ye is the first person in this world who makes me want to go all out to deal with him. Ironically, it's him who protected me behind his back at the moment of life and death. Qian Lao, this complicated feeling, how am I supposed to forget?"

  Miss, don't forget that once Chen Ye finds out your true identity, then... or else Princess Xuan Ling will immediately tell him.

  "Grandpa Qian, don't say anything more."

  He remained silent for a long time, unable to hold back a bitter smile: "Yes, my identity has doomed the outcome between him and me. Since that's the case, I'd better forget about him first. Qian Lao, give me some time. Before I forget, I still want to see him one last time."

  "Xuan Ling Gong Zhu, I really envy you, you can actually make a choice without any burden... Actually, it's not that I should be envious of you, but rather my true heart hasn't had deep feelings for Chen Ye yet, otherwise, I wouldn't have been unable to make a choice!"

  ．．．．．

  Staring at the perfectly fine Xuan Ling, after a long while, Chen Ye's face finally broke into a happy smile: "The you of now should be the one I'm most familiar with, Princess Xuan Ling."

  At this point, Chen Ye's eyes tightened slightly and he said, "But between us, we can never go back to the past again. From now on, it's better if you don't come here."

  The directness of Chen Ye at night made Xuan Ling's expression a bit dim, but at the same time, he was also happy, after all, he could be open and not hide, which proved that he still had enough space in his heart, otherwise, it would be disdainful!

  "Brother Chenye!"

  After calming his mind, Xuan Ling pointed at the masked woman and said: "She is my senior sister, Chen Ye Gege. I brought her to see you today, don't you understand my intention?"

  At midnight, Sword Eyebrow raised an eyebrow, and Xuan Ling's words shocked him. The masked woman was actually his senior sister, and her meaning...

  Don't let Chen Ye think too much, Xuan Ling continued: "Chen Ye brother, I want to tell you that between you and the royal family, I chose you, so please don't refuse me in the future..."

  "Brother Ling!"

  At midnight, his heart was suddenly shaken by such a choice, which surprised him even more.

  To be honest, Zhen Ye had never asked Xuan Ling to do anything for him. After all, every member of the imperial family was a relative of Xuan Ling's, and giving up all his relatives for him would be a heavy burden, even if Xuan Ling himself was willing.

  One day, when both sides are at an impasse, the suffering that Xuan Ling has to endure will be even more, he doesn't want it to be like this!

  "Ling'er, you don't have to do this for me, and I'm not even worth it!"

  The Emperor sent Yun Taixu to kill Chen Ye, the relationship between the two sides was no longer hidden. At this time, Xuan Ling made such a choice, and Chen Ye was also worried about Xuan Ling's move.

  "Brother Chenye, listen to me!"

  Xuan Ling was silent for a long time, finally, as if she had used up all her strength, she managed to say what she wanted to say.

  "Brother Chen Ye, you know that my brother Xuan Yu got a serious illness after he was born. After he recovered, his brain would sometimes be clear and sometimes be confused. But do you know what disease my brother had and why he got sick?"

  "All of this is thanks to Father's consent!"

  "Boom!"

  In the room, it was as if a mighty thunderclap had fallen from the ninth heaven, striking the night, and a shock beyond compare.

  Even a ferocious tiger will not eat its own cub; why would an emperor want to harm his own flesh and blood?

  "The queen gave birth to a humble child, but unexpectedly gave birth to the crown prince before the empress. At first, the emperor did not say anything, but as the officials and some people with ulterior motives stirred up the situation, the emperor suddenly came to his senses."

  "Two sons, roughly the same age, with this identity since birth. When they grow up later, there will inevitably be a bloody struggle between brothers for the throne."

  Xuan Ling coldly sneered: "Father Emperor has a far-sighted view, he knows that to stop these people, one of them must be made incapable of competing, because Second Brother has the Empress Dowager and the Longsun family behind him. Therefore, the person who cannot compete for the throne is my brother Xuan Yu!"

  The night was silent... Xuan Ling had never seen her like this before, so helpless and pitiful. He couldn't help but gently pull her into his arms.

  "It's all over now."

  It's easy to say a word, but it's already passed... How can she get through, with her brother on one side and her father on the other? Even if Xuan Ling could ignore everything, what happened was enough to make her unable to hold herself together. It's really been tough for her all these years.

  "Father Emperor dotes on me, Brother Chen Ye, do you think he really spoils me? It's just that he doesn't want his own heart to have too much guilt, after all, Brother is his own biological son!"

  "Brother Chen Ye, do you know that this is a secret, no one knows, not even the empress dowager. The empress dowager had me pretend to be foolish, it was she who relied on her wisdom and saw through my existence, for some people, I am a huge threat."

  Xuan Ling cried: "One day, Father Emperor came to see me. He knew I had become stupid. Perhaps it was also because he had been suppressing it for too long and couldn't hold it in anymore. So, right in front of me, he said out this secret!"

  His own father, who had harmed his own son, even told his own daughter... At midnight, Chen Ye tightly held Xuan Ling in his arms, he really couldn't imagine how the person in his arms had survived under this shadow all these years!
