My system is three thousand years ahead of time.

The fact that Wu Ling was made the crown prince instantly caused a storm in the capital.

From the princes and nobles to the palace maids and eunuchs, everyone was shocked.

Who is Wu Ling?

I have never heard of her!

After careful inquiry, I was even more shocked!

The wild girl who was brought back by the emperor from outside a year ago had a lower status and position than other princes and princesses, and had always been a small transparent person in the palace.

However, such a person who was usually ordinary, even mediocre, was unexpectedly made the crown prince by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty against all odds.

According to the long life of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if he became the crown prince, he might not necessarily become the emperor in the future.

But behind this, there was a faint news that Wu Ling had a very good relationship with the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and it seemed that he had received the support of the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.

This was not a trivial matter.

For a time, many people inside and outside the palace were a little restless.

After the family dinner, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty left with Wu Ling, who looked confused. Everyone left without chatting. Princess Yuemei took Cheng Guang home with a serious face.

When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, Princess Yuemei hesitated for a moment before asking, "Guang'er, do you like Wu Ling?"

Cheng Guang was puzzled: "Mother, why do you ask that?"

Princess Yuemei seemed a little helpless: "The emperor asked you a question today. You supported Wu Ling so much. If it's not because you like her, is it because you really think that Wu Ling has the appearance of an empress?"

Cheng Guang coughed and showed a serious look on his face, "Mother, I'm not lying to you. I really think that Wu Ling has the appearance of an empress."

More than having the appearance of an empress, you can almost see her becoming an empress in the future.

Princess Yuemei was angry and amused when she heard Cheng Guang say this. In the end, she didn't say anything else, but just touched Cheng Guang's head lovingly.

"Okay, our Guang'er has a unique vision. I won't say anything to you anymore, but next time you must never express your liking for a prince or princess like this. Even if the emperor asks you, you must treat them equally."

"Our family is too big, and you are the only heir of our family in the future. Your words and deeds will be magnified countless times, and can even affect the situation of certain things. So you can't make your position clear. The dispute over the crown prince is fine, but you must never participate in the dispute over the throne."

Princess Yuemei said, pinching Cheng Guang's face again.

A bitter smile appeared in Cheng Guang's eyes, "Okay, mother, I will pay more attention next time."

Although she said so, Cheng Guang had no other choice in that situation. After all, he was just a substitute for the prince.

If he didn't say so, he would offend the emperor. Even if he didn't expose his identity on the spot, he would not let him walk out of the palace alive.

Cheng Guang had no other choice.

Princess Yuemei nodded, and told Cheng Guang not to go out recently, and then left thoughtfully, as if she was going to talk to Cheng Zhihai.

After Princess Yuemei left, Cheng Guang also returned to the Wanxiang Garden, which belonged to the prince.

In the Wanxiang Garden, Qingluan sat by the lake, holding her chin with one hand, staring at the lake with a dull look.

Under the setting sun, her white jade-like face actually reflected a breathtaking beauty like crystal.

When Cheng Guang appeared at this time, Qingluan noticed it, turned her head suddenly and looked at Cheng Guang, first stunned, then seemed surprised, as if relieved.

She ran over quickly, looked at Cheng Guang left and right, and then touched Cheng Guang's body.

After confirming again that Cheng Guang was the substitute, not the real prince, she was surprised.

"You, you actually hid it?"

"Nothing happened?"

"I thought you couldn't come back just now."

"I hid it, but I didn't hide it completely." Cheng Guang walked quickly to the pavilion and poured himself a sip of tea.

"What does this mean?" Qingluan was puzzled.

"The emperor knows my identity, but he didn't expose me on the spot."

Cheng Guang spoke slowly, his face calm.

Qingluan's body was stiff, and she was dazed.

"The emperor knows? Then, then, then..."

Even Qingluan didn't know why the emperor didn't expose Cheng Guang's identity as a substitute. She was just the prince's maid. She didn't order her not to leave the house, and she didn't know that Wu Ling was made the prince so quickly.

If she knew what Cheng Guang said when Wu Ling was made the prince, she would probably know the reason.

At this moment, Cheng Guang calmed down and told Qingluan the whole story. Then he said:

"Sister Qingluan, I think my career as a substitute has come to an end. If I don't say this, I will offend the emperor and die. If I say this, I will cause trouble for the prince."

"If you continue to play, you may cause trouble. Sister Qingluan, please contact the prince and ask him to come back soon."

Qingluan sighed and lowered her eyes: "I guess it's impossible. I can't contact the prince at this time."

"Usually, the prince always brings enough protective items and leaves quietly. Until he comes back, I can't contact the prince."

Speaking of this, Qingluan's voice became smaller and smaller, a little lacking in confidence, "In fact, the prince went out this time and left secretly, not just to go out for fun, but also for..."

try{ggauto;} catch(ex){}

"For what?" Cheng Guang was stunned. It seems that there is something he doesn't know about this?

"To avoid the head of the family, the prince's father, Cheng Zhihai."

"Why avoid him?" This time, it was Cheng Guang who was confused.

"The prince's body has been damaged since he was young. Not only does he suffer great pain in his practice, but even if he is infused with a huge amount of resources, he cannot break through the third-grade purple mansion realm at the highest level."

"The prince had given up, but over the years, whenever the head of the family came back, he would often bring back extremely precious elixirs from outside to heal the prince's body, trying to allow him to practice."

"This is a good thing, but the process is extremely painful. It's okay once or twice, but the prince has been living like this for more than ten years. He has suffered great pain, but his body has not improved at all."

"This time, the prince also wanted to avoid the head of the family..."

When Qingluan said this, Cheng Guang became more confused.

"Logically speaking, given the status of the prince, he can still live a good life even if he doesn't practice. With the elixir that can prolong life, his life span can even be said to be not much worse than that of a practitioner. Why is he still like this..." Qingluan shook his head: "You think too much. Even the Duke's Mansion is in a worrying situation now. In the court, many officials think that the Duke's Mansion is too powerful. The Lighting Bureau is responsible for supervising all officials, and is even more feared and rejected by officials." "Outside the court, because the Lighting Bureau suppressed the martial arts sects, countless sects began to be hostile to the Duke's Mansion. They have no scruples. The attack on the prince was caused by a martial arts sect." " Although the ancestral tomb of the martial arts sect behind was wiped out, the prince's body was also injured. "Because the court and the outsiders have opinions about the Zhenguogong Mansion, it is inevitable that someone will assassinate the prince. This is why the prince rarely goes out and is trapped in the mansion or Kyoto. "Cheng Guang's mouth twitched when he heard this. He probably understood that there was nothing wrong with the Zhenguogong itself and was respected by the world, but the prince's father's lighting department seemed to be incompetent and attracted a lot of hatred... It's no wonder why Cheng Zhihai has been trying his best to bring back spiritual medicine from outside, wanting to heal the prince's body and let him go back to the path of cultivation. Without cultivation and strength, he can only be trapped in the mansion... This is probably why his substitute exists. Cheng Guang's eyes flickered, and suddenly he thought of something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Qingluan. "No, Sister Qingluan, this time the prince's father came back, is it for me to deal with it?" Qingluan nodded slightly with an unnatural expression. "That's true."

Cheng Guang was dumbfounded.

It was basically an unsolvable situation for him to deal with Cheng Zhihai.

Cheng Zhihai controlled the Lighting Division that frightened countless people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was a smart man, and he was not comparable to a little Karami like him.

Even if Cheng Zhihai could not find out that he was a fake for a while, as long as Cheng Zhihai treated the prince's body as usual, he would not be able to hide it.

The prince's body was damaged, but he was not damaged!

Does he have to stab himself? ?

This is not feasible at all, it is impossible to make the injuries exactly the same.

"It's over..."

Cheng Guang looked ashen, looking at Qingluan with no desire to live, "Sister Qingluan, what do you think will happen if the head of the family finds out that I am just a substitute?"

Qingluan hesitated, and turned her head away reluctantly...

She turned her head and looked at me, bastard!

Cheng Guang collapsed, knowing that Qingluan meant that he would die if he was discovered.

If he had known that it was a situation where he was bound to die, why would he be so cautious? Was he kidding?

It was just a matter of being exposed earlier or later.

The prince would most likely not come back.

At least he would not come back on his own initiative in the short term!

"Okay, the head of the family may not kill you directly. I won't tell you so that you can be more stable..."

"You still have to hold on for now and try to keep it a secret. Maybe the prince will plead for you later."

"Now that the emperor knows of your existence, I don't know how long you can keep it a secret, but you still have to try to maintain your status as the prince and delay for some time."

"If it is exposed before the head of the family comes back, the prince will be caught in advance, but he will die more thoroughly."

Qingluan comforted him softly. She also felt a little pity for Cheng Guang's situation, knowing that Cheng Guang was almost doomed to die.

However, during this period of time, he enjoyed the status and treatment of the prince, and Qingluan thought that paying a little price for this was equal.

You know, the fruit spiritual food that Cheng Guang usually eats is something that ordinary people can never touch in their lifetime. Just for this reason, Qingluan doesn't think that the prince treats Cheng Guang unfairly.

The life of the groom, in a sense, is not a life.

A word from the noble is enough to decide his life or death.

Cheng Guang's face was ugly, and he couldn't accept this situation for a while.
