Lu Lin followed Han Youning and reassured her with a smile.

"The prince has a good temper and is polite to everyone. You don't have to be afraid of him. Besides, I'm here. I grew up following him, and he will always look after me!"

Han Youning lowered his eyes, silly boy, it was the prince who found out that your Lu family was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it was also the prince who oversaw the execution of your Lu family.

In fact, because of the overwhelming power of Lao Anlinghou, the executioner's sword could not cut down. Zhao Chen went over, raised the sword and dropped it. The loyal and brave veteran who had been on the battlefield all his life, his head fell to the ground with wide eyes and blood spattered three feet.

That day Zhao Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion and went straight to her courtyard without changing his clothes. His brocade robe was stained with blood, and even his eyes were stained scarlet.

He stood opposite her, looking down at her as usual,

"There will be no Anling Houfu after the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Yes, Lu Lin was demoted to the rank of nobility, and Anlinghou Mansion became Anlingbo Mansion. Anlingbo Mansion without military power and unable to fight on the battlefield is nothing.

Han Youning squinted her eyes and looked at him for a long time. Even if she was not blind, she probably wouldn't be able to recognize the person in front of her. He didn't look as gentle as before.

She asked, "Are they really collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

"The evidence is solid."

Zhao Chen leaned closer to her, and she could even feel the heat of his breath and the bloody smell on his body, "Do you think they don't deserve to die?"

Han Youning took a step back to avoid his face, with a calm look on his face, "Of those who have died in the past few years, who deserves to die?"

Zhao Chen sneered, approached her again, and said word by word, "Everyone I killed deserves to die."

Yes, they blocked Zhao Chen's way to ascend to the supreme position, and they must die.

The Anling Houfu is the backing of Zhao Chengyuan. Zhao Chengyuan has such a noble status, and there are even rumors that the late emperor wanted to pass the throne to him, so how can Zhao Chen allow them to live.

She didn't understand this until she met Zhao Chengyuan after she was reborn.

As soon as he stepped ashore, Lu Lin smiled and saluted Zhao Chen, full of vigor, "Your Highness, I secretly took two jars of good wine from the seventh uncle, you can try it later!"

Zhao Chen smiled, "Okay, Alin is interested."

Lu Lin stood opposite him with dignity, as happy as a child who had been praised, and said in a friendly tone, "Hey, why are you so polite to me!"

Han Youning sighed secretly not far away.

You are the grand-nephew of Empress Dowager Lu, and the prince is the grandson of the Queen Mother. How dare you call him your family member? Even if you are his serious cousin, you cannot be considered your family member. How do you ask the royal family to maintain them?

of being superior?

Zhao Chen smiled and patted Lu Lin on the shoulder, "A Lin is right, my brother."

They exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Zhao Chen turned his eyes to Han Youning.

Lu Lin proudly introduced to Zhao Chen, "This is a little girl I picked up on the road. It's very fun!"

He waved to Han Youning, "Girl, come here and see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Han Youning didn't want to interact with Zhao Chen again in this life, but he had to face him.

She straightened her back and walked forward slowly, her brows darkened and her expression furrowed as she said, "My daughter, the Chen family daughter of Xiangping Mansion, would like to send my regards to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Han Youning did not give her maiden name because she did not want her name to come out of his mouth.

"I have heard about what happened in Chen's house. Please express my condolences and everything will get better."

Zhao Chen's voice was warm and gentle, just like when we first met him.

Back then, this voice soothed all the trauma and panic in her heart, causing her to sink completely. Now when she heard it, it sounded ridiculous.

She once thought that he was the best man in the world, unmatched by anyone. She was so determined to marry him that she didn't notice that her father's brows were frowning more and more.

How did she know that the emperor tabooed marriage between princes and generals, even the prince was no exception.

Her father had already been deprived of military power at that time and was already in a difficult situation. After that, he became even more feared by the emperor. For her, her father gritted his teeth and endured everything. It was not until his life was on the line that she knew the truth.

Zhao Chen used his father to win over a large number of generals of the Southwest Army, and almost controlled most of the Southwest Army in his hands.

After her father and brother were executed by the emperor, he felt so sad that he buried them with his own hands. He got drunk in front of his father's tomb, blaming himself and crying for his own powerlessness. The military commanders who had no heart for the city were greatly moved.

, becoming more and more loyal to him.

She has always wondered how much of Zhao Chen's contribution was responsible for the death of her father and brother?

Han Youning suppressed the hatred and resentment in his heart, blessed his body and looked as usual, "Thank you, Your Highness."

After saying that, she stepped aside and stood behind Lu Lin, asking him to help her block Zhao Chen's sight.

They had known each other for five years, but she had never seen through him. The gentle gentleman she had thought was so scheming and decisive in killing was beyond her imagination.

Even if she has the advantage of being a prophet, she may not be his opponent. She has just arrived in the capital, her foundation is not yet stable, and she is surrounded by tigers and wolves, so it is better not to provoke him first. And the best way is not to attract his attention and not to interact with him.

There are too many contacts.

Zhao Chen looked at the chubby girl hiding behind Lu Lin, his smile was as warm as the spring sun, his voice was low and gentle, "You don't have to be afraid of being alone, and being alone doesn't eat people."

Lu Lin explained for his wife, "She was frightened by the evil people who were chasing her, so she was inevitably less courageous. When she gets to know you, Your Highness, you will know how cute she is. She can actually...

"

As he was talking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with him telling a man so much about his fat girl, and it would be bad if she was robbed.

Lu Lin coughed twice and swallowed the rest of the words.

You have to keep good things to yourself, hum!

Zhao Chen's eyebrows were soft and he patiently comforted Han Youning, "You don't have to be afraid. Those who want to harm you at the feet of the emperor in the capital will not dare to act recklessly again in the capital."

Han Youning nodded in response and continued to lower his sense of presence.

Now she was just the niece of Duke Dingguo's late wife and had no use value. How could she deserve such courtesy from him?

Zhao Chen smiled kindly, said nothing, turned to ask Zhao Chengyuan for instructions and set off.

A guard came to report, "Your Highness, someone from Duke Dingguo's mansion is here to pick up the eldest lady of the Chen family."

Han Youning was surprised. Now her father and brother were fighting in the southwest, but she didn't know who could come to pick her up.

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Let them come over."

"yes."

The guard retreated, and after a while a young man in gorgeous brocade clothes came over.

Han Youning only raised his eyes slightly, and he knew who it was before he even saw the person's face. Han Siqi, the legitimate son of his second uncle.

In fact, the brocade robe was too dazzling, with a bright purple background edged with yellow, and complicated pink flowers crowded together, bright and lively. Coupled with the strong floral fragrance, she was the only one in the whole Zhou Dynasty.

The nobles of the Zhou Dynasty love incense, but it is rare to see someone like him who wants to transform himself into a mobile incense burner.
