Cui Ling suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room became gloomy.

She intuition that what Cui Chengkai said next should be the so-called secret that his stepmother An couldn't get.

But usually such secrets come with burdens.

What is the secret she has the right to know?

It was the sudden fall of my grandfather's family? The Luo family was originally a famous family in Shengjing City, but now they can only stay in a corner.

Is it the secret of her life experience? No, she was born very similar to her father Choi Chengkai. Especially now that he has shaved his beard and cleaned it up, the faces of the father and daughter look 600% similar.

Cui Ling felt a little nervous for a moment, so she had to take the opportunity to pour tea for her father and look at the door again.

Mu Ji was indeed getting more and more appropriate in his work. He knew that there was something to say in the house, so he personally guarded him in the distance, and there were no other people nearby.

She calmed down slightly, turned around and asked with a smile, "What do you want to say to me?"

Cui Chengkai looked a little unbearable, but he finally gritted his teeth, "Your mother didn't really die of illness back then. She...she is..."

His eyes turned red for a moment, "She committed suicide by poisoning."

Cui Ling was shocked, "What did you say?"

Even though she was mentally prepared to hear the big secret, Luo did not die naturally, but the news of poisoning and suicide came, but she still couldn't stand it.

Her body, which had not yet recovered, was suddenly shaking, and she could only barely calm herself down by holding onto a corner of the table.

Cui Chengkai's eyes flashed with heartache, and his voice also weakened. "If I could, I hope you won't know about this in my life."

He shook his head slowly, "But it may not work now. I can't hide it anymore, and I can't hide it anymore."

Cui Ling took a deep breath and calmed her trembling body down. She asked, "Father, how did my mother die? As her daughter, I have the right to know."

She spoke coldly, with a serious face, "Now, I'll sit here and listen quietly, I want to know everything. All."

Cui Chengkai's voice was a little trembling, and he grabbed the teacup at his hand and vented his breath.

After a long time, his slightly bleak and hoarse voice sounded in the room, "I think you have heard your grandmother say that I am about the same age as the current emperor. I grew up together and I was once the emperor's companion."

He paused. "I got married that year, and the emperor also gave me a heavy gift. When your mother gave birth to you, he also gave me a heavy gift. At that time, it was enviable to others."

Everyone thought that Cui Chengkai would rise to the top from now on, but who would have thought that disaster would come so quickly?

Cui Chengkai's eyes drooped slightly, and a cold and dead air appeared in his eyes. "The emperor often came to Anning Bo Mansion because he had a very good relationship with me. Of course, since he ascended the throne, he had visited privately."

He gradually immersed in his memories, "At that time, you were still a few days away from being three years old..."

Cui Ling tried hard to recall in her mind what happened when she was three years old.

She thought she was smart and keen, and always had her own unique analysis and insights about family affairs. She even secretly guessed who stole the second aunt's hairpin and who drew croton into the soup of her cousin's sister.

But why did she have no impression of the disaster that my father mentioned?

Cui Chengkai glanced at his daughter who was struggling with eyebrows and sighed.

He continued, "The emperor will not agree on time when he visits privately. He does not care about decency. He always enters from the east door and goes directly to my academy to come to play with me."

Then that day, Luo happened to grind ink and wash the pen for his husband at Cui Chengkai's academy, and add fragrance to his red sleeves.

The emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, and they are fat and thin. They don’t know how many beauties have, and they don’t know what they have. They even fall in love with Luo’s at first sight.

Since then, I have become possessed by Luo and are reluctant to leave.

He visited Anning Bo Mansion more and more privately in private. In order to meet Luo again, he often wandered around the yard and even transferred Cui Chengkai away, secretly trying to come in and try his luck.

The emperor is the 95th emperor. He wants to take a casual look in the garden of Anning Bo Mansion. Who dares to stop him if you know?

Luo did not know anything about it, and he would inevitably encounter it several times. He always used excuses to talk to her and pestered her to leave.

The old lady of Anning Bo Mansion has heard of it, but what else can she say to the emperor as a woman in the back house?

Apart from venting her anger on Luo, she could not do anything else. Sometimes, in order not to cause thunderous anger, she even kissed Luo to treat guests well.

Luo was kept in the dark.

In fact, her idea is also very simple.

This strange man was the emperor, her husband's immediate superior's childhood friend, and her mother-in-law's words, so she could not refuse such requests, such as "Can you please take me to Chengkai's study room?"

In addition, she is a married woman with children. Although she is very beautiful, she has never been so beautiful. How could a man like the emperor, who has three thousand beauties have other intentions for her?

Luo still thought too simple.

It was not until the Emperor forced Luo that day that she suddenly realized that the most noble man in the world actually had the most disgusting thoughts about her.

After the emperor succeeded, he did not hide his ambitions at all.

He told An Ningbo and his wife that he wanted to let Luo pretend to die, and then entered the palace to serve the emperor as other noble girls.

In order to prevent Luo from killing himself, he even arranged a man in black to protect him around the yard of the fifth bedroom and threatened the fifth wife. If she refused, she would implicate her father, brother and husband's family.

Cui Chengkai is a man with deep affection with his wife.

When he suddenly encountered such bad news, he naturally felt uneasy and felt insulted.

But he was a weak scholar without any power. It was impossible for him to argue with the emperor with his meager strength.

So when he was young, he chose to be drunk and depressed, and would rather indulge in the wine country in a drunken and dreamy way than face this particularly complicated and tangled thing in reality.

After getting drunk, Cui Chengkai once threatened to avenge his wife, but before he could finish those drunk words, he was blocked by Mrs. An Ningbo.

The emperor is the king, the heaven, and the god that cannot be disobeyed.

She was afraid that if her son said the wrong thing, she would bring about the consequences of irreparable consequences. She would also have to endure hundreds of lives in the Bo Mansion, and Anning Bo Mansion refused to take such risks.

For the Cui family, although this incident is shameful, to put it bluntly, it is just the loss of a daughter-in-law.

If they handed over Luo Family, they would not know that they would be able to get peace and peace in the future. Maybe they could still gain wealth. After all, if Luo Family was favored and her daughter was still in the Cui family, she would definitely have to consider the Cui family.

For An Ningbo, this is not a difficult question to make.

Besides, the emperor's intention was not to marry their daughter-in-law, but to welcome Luo into the palace with other identities.

Although it is hard to calm down in your heart, the monarchy is the best. What can they do if they are unwilling to do?

At that time, the emperor ascended the throne for three years, the country was prosperous and the people were safe, and the imperial power was stable. No one in this world could shake his position as a king. Who dares to disobey him if such a master is the only one?

So An Ningbo and his wife had to acquiescently and acquiescently.

They took the young Cui Ling away from the villa on the outskirts of the city and deceived the stupid Cui Chengkai away. They only said that they wanted to take care of the disease, but in fact they were to make it easier for the emperor to act.

As for the other four rooms, I only knew a little about this, but no one dared to say it, and no one dared to meddle in other people's business.

Cui Chengkai was trapped in the past and was in so much pain that he could not extricate himself.

He said almost with a crying voice, "I got drunk again that day and was unconscious. I was taken to the village on the outskirts of the city by my father and mother. When I woke up and rushed back to Cui's mansion, your mother Luo would have died of anger."

The Luo family came from a famous family and received a lady education.

Don’t say that she and Cui Chengkai are a loving couple, and they also gave birth to a smart and lovely daughter together.

Even if she and her husband were blindly married and had no relationship with each other, the education she received since childhood was to end up being one.

How can we commit ourselves to the emperor for glory and wealth?

After the emperor forced her to ask for her, Luo actually wanted to die.

At first, I saw that my daughter couldn't bear it, but later I saw that her husband became a complete drunkard. She had never given her a word of comfort, nor did she stand up and say she wanted to protect her.

Even if the emperor is heaven and his subjects are greater than heaven, he always has to say one or two words to comfort people.

But Cui Chengkai has always been an evasive attitude, which made Luo's heart even more heartbroken.

After the emperor forced her to ask for her again, she finally couldn't bear it and put medicine in the emperor's tea.

She wanted to die, but she was afraid that she would die. The emperor would really attack her parents' family and husband's family. It would be fine if others were to do so, but she really couldn't bear to leave her young daughter.

Therefore, if she has a determined ambition to die, she must try every means to drag the emperor to hell together.

Luo's calculations were very much done, but he never expected that the emperor had a skilled imperial physician around him.

That cup of bone-eroding poison did kill her life, but the emperor was rescued by the old doctor Wang, the Imperial Hospital at that time. Although he was weak since then, he survived for more than ten years.

After completely sobering up, Cui Chengkai felt like he was crazy about gaining and losing his heart after seeing the suicide note that Luo had left him with every word. He never recovered from now on and could never cheer up again.

Cui Chengkai said crying and said, "I refused to see you before you got married. It's not that I don't miss you, but that I'm afraid of seeing you."

He said, "I am afraid that when I see you, I think of your mother, I think of your mother, I think of how she died. I am afraid that I will think of her death so miserable, I must think of how I treated her at that time. Ling'er, I deserve to die!" (To be continued.
