The emperor and empress were successfully rescued, and Xu Nanheng, who had rebelled and ascended the throne, was thrown into prison. The emperor issued an imperial decree to execute all the rebels.

Sheng An regained his composure.

At this moment, Xu Nanheng and the other man who were imprisoned in the dungeon were engaged in a fierce verbal battle.

Xu Nanheng sat against the wall and watched coldly as Yang Chaoxue was thrown into the cell opposite by the prison guards.

Yang Chaoxue was just taken in for questioning, and he will inevitably be tortured.

In the past, Xu Nanheng would have thought that she couldn't bear the whipping, but now he would just think that she deserved it!

"Yang Chaoxue, it must be hard to be locked up, right?"

"Oh, Xu Nanheng, there's no need for you to be so weird!"

Yang Chaoxue angrily wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, leaned weakly against the wall, and looked at Xu Nanheng opposite him.

Both of them were furious.

Xu Nanheng suppressed his anger and said, "I am eccentric? If it weren't for what you did later, would I have fallen to this point? I promised you the throne and gave it to you, but you actually teamed up with Prince Su Li's cronies to undermine me? I really underestimated you!"

"Xu Nanheng, you don't have to criticize me here." Yang Chaoxue slowed down her breath and looked at him coldly, "You betrayed me first, so you don't allow me to betray you? Neither of us can say anything!"

How can a treacherous person have the qualifications to blame her!

Yang Chaoxue didn't want to see his face now.

Just turn your face away, close your eyes and take a nap.

In the darkness, the memories of our past companionship resurfaced bit by bit.

It was never her who destroyed all this!

She also thought, if Song Jin was not there, would Xu Nanheng still treat her like this?

Yang Chaoxue didn't know.

She now feels more resentment and unwillingness.

How come he lost to Song Jin?

Her plans were almost completely exposed in front of Song Jin.

A faint floral scent wafted in from the small window above my head.

I heard the sound of the wind and a slightly different sound.

Yang Chaoxue slowly opened her eyes and saw that there was indeed one more person in the cell.

"Song Jin?" She said with a half-smile, "Why, are you here to see me laughing?"

Ridicule or mockery, Yang Chaoxue didn't want to see her at all now.

He closed his eyes again.

Song Jin had no intention of getting entangled with her.

"Yang Chaoxue, after tonight, our grudges are settled. You have hurt me so much, and you have gotten what you deserved."

Yang Chaoxue sneered silently.

Cleared? You say cleared, so it's cleared? Joke!

She and Song Jin were in opposition from the beginning to the end, and she had nothing to say if she lost.

Song Jin took one last look at her and turned to face the other side.

"Jinjin!"

Xu Nanheng was still happy to see her coming.

When he saw the warm jade hanging around her waist, his smile froze instantly.

He recognized the warm jade; it was something Cui Huaiji had given him.

really.

Xu Nanheng suddenly collapsed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was a little more sad.

"Are you here to laugh at my joke?"

The other party remained silent.

Xu Nanheng laughed at himself and looked up at the face that haunted his soul. He just couldn't look at it enough.

His present life should be like a lotus in summer, blooming brilliantly and attracting everyone's attention.

"Jinjin, there is a question I have been thinking about for a long time. Can you give me an answer?"

Song Jin tapped his chin lightly.

I came here today to completely cut off everything from my past and present lives.

"A year ago in Qingzhou, I remember you told me that you were going to pray for our marriage. But within half a day, you came back like a different person, and you were cold and disgusted with me."

"I don't think I've done anything to let you down..."

"You are wrong, Xu Nanheng." Song Jin looked straight at him and called him by his full name for the first time. "Your self-righteousness is, in my opinion, a complete lie."

Everything went wrong from the moment Xu Nanheng approached her.

In the previous life, he approached her in order to ascend to the throne, but in this life, she woke up early and cut off the possibility, so she did not repeat the tragedy of the previous life.

Xu Nanheng's expression froze.

Then I heard her say something that I will never forget in my life.

"Actually, it's not me who has changed." Song Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the bewildered man in front of him, "I once had a dream. In the dream, you and I were an engaged couple, but I died in the incident in Qingzhou. You shot me to death with your own hands!"

He shot Jin Jin with his own hands?

Xu Nanheng's smile was stiff, and his mouth moved several times, but no words came out.

Because the look on Song Jin's face didn't seem like he was lying.

"You may think that the dream is over. But everything I experienced in the dream was so real. You killed me, seized my Song family's property, and used it to help you ascend the throne. The world praised you as the emperor, but no one knew what you did."

"You have no guilt towards me at all, and you and Yang Chaoxue are in perfect harmony and love for your whole life."

"So, Xu Nanheng, tell me, if I know the future, will I still throw myself into the fire?"

Xu Nanheng's expression could no longer be described as stiff.

He could have regarded the first half of the sentence as Song Jin's ridiculous words meant to tease him, but as he heard the rest, he gradually realized that what she was talking about were the plans that he and Yang Chaoxue had originally agreed upon.

If the plan succeeds as Song Jin said, his subsequent actions will probably be as she said, and he will sit on the throne.

But nothing happened, it was all a dream!

He loves Song Jin, so there is no such thing as taking advantage of him!

"Jinjin, you also said that these were all dreams." Xu Nanheng rolled and crawled to Song Jin's feet, looked up at her face greedily, and reached out to grab a piece of her skirt. "Dreams are the opposite of what they really are. I later became extremely powerful, why are you still unwilling to come back to me?"

With this face, he can say black is white.

This is what Song Jin hates the most.

She pulled the hem of her skirt out of his hands with disgust.

"Xu Nanheng, I never care about power. It doesn't matter if you are noble or notorious. In your eyes, love is not as important as power. You will give up everything for power! If you really care about love, why would Yang Chaoxue sideline you in the end?"

After all, it was Xu Nanheng who ate from the bowl while looking at the pot, which made Yang Chaoxue feel insecure.

She investigated the experiences of Yang Chaoxue and Xu Nanheng.

The two knew each other since childhood and almost grew up supporting each other. Later, for some reason, they avoided seeing each other and over time, no one in Sheng'an knew that they were childhood sweethearts.

Yang Chaoxue was attached to him, but when she found out that he had fallen in love with someone else, she completely exploded.

How can a person who is inherently sensitive not go crazy if he gives everything for love but is not appreciated?

Xu Nanheng wanted to refute her, but found that he was powerless to do so.

Thinking back on what happened between me and Yang Chaoxue, I suddenly realized that things were no longer under my control.

His feelings for Yang Chaoxue have gradually faded.

All he cares about is the power behind Yang Chaoxue.

"Xu Nanheng, let's stop here."

"No, Jinjin——"

Xu Nanheng refused to give up and held her back: "Jinjin, I also have my own difficulties... You know, my mother is imprisoned in the Taichang Palace, and I can't see her except on my birthday. Everyone can bully me. I am not liked by my father, and I have no one to complain when I am wronged..."

It was from then on that Xu Nanheng realized that the only way to avoid being bullied was to become stronger.

“That’s why I said, there’s no way we can be together.”

Even if he had to do it all over again, Xu Nanheng would still choose power.

Song Jin and he are not the same kind of people.

Having said what needed to be said, Song Jin did not linger any longer.

No matter how Xu Nanheng shouted behind her, she never looked back.

The dungeon was dark and stuffy, and there was always a faint smell of blood in the air.

Song Jin hates the sight of blood.

This time, she completely broke away from the past.

Qingzhou will no longer fall into dire straits, and her beloved family is still alive.

Things are moving in a positive direction.

The sunlight shines through the branches and leaves.

Under the warm sunlight, it feels like bathing in a mountain stream, and your heart and lungs feel refreshed.

"That's all?"

Cui Huaiji had been waiting for a long time beside the carriage.

At first, when Song Jin wanted to meet Xu Nanheng, Cui Huaiji disagreed. He was not generous enough to let the person he liked meet his love rival.

"Um."

Song Jin took the initiative to hold his hand.

This person is very jealous and needs to be coaxed.

Looking at the look of someone being coaxed, Song Jin suddenly found it funny.

I still remember the last time I had a nightmare late at night, I unexpectedly saw Cui Huaiji in my previous life breaking into the palace with a sword.

They had never met each other at that time, but Cui Huaiji was able to speak up for her, which shows that he is actually a kind person.

It’s not what the outside world says.

"Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?"

A silly smile on her face, so cute.

"No way?" Song Jin denied it, "I just think it's my luck to know Fu Ji."

"Oh? Why do I remember that when we first met, someone was already thinking about how to plot against me."

At that time, both of them could hear each other's thoughts. Looking back on it now, I still find it funny.

How come I didn’t notice it?

"Tsk, don't bring up the past. I haven't even mentioned Fu Ji yet!"

If we really count the old accounts, it will take several days.

Cui Huaiji laughed and stopped teasing her.

On the way back home, Song Jin suddenly thought of something.

"Has the matter of Lord Zhao been resolved?"

The injustice suffered by Grand Tutor Zhao has always been a pain in Zhao Wuan's heart.

He had been patient for many years just to find evidence to overturn his father's verdict. Now that he has the merit of exonerating his father, the emperor will allow him to overturn the verdict for his sake.

Cui Huaiji: "Grand Tutor Zhao has a clean record. Your Majesty has cleared his name and the injustice is no longer committed. Zhao Wuan is probably having a headache right now."

The reputation of the Zhao family soared, and the emperor valued him. He believed that within a few years, Zhao Wuan would be able to be appointed prime minister as in his previous life.

I heard that the matchmakers who came to propose marriage almost broke down the threshold of the Zhao family's house.

Qin Wan was so angry that she ordered everyone in Zhaiyue Tower to strictly forbid Zhao Wuan to set foot in Zhaiyue Tower.

This is really tough for Zhao Wuan, as he has to start all over again after chasing his wife halfway.

After hearing this, Song Jin laughed so hard that he fell down.

Fortunately, Cui Huaiji supported her.

"In a few days, it will be time for us to leave Sheng'an."

Song Jin looked at him in confusion: "So soon? Why don't you tell the Empress? You should also tell His Majesty, right?"

"No problem." Cui Huaiji hugged her, "With Zhao Wuan and Wang Anlin's assistance, Yuchao's future will not be cut off. Sister knows my thoughts and she supports me."

"I'm tired of sitting here, Lord. Now that everything is settled, I should relax for a while."

All the people he cared about were safe and sound, and there was no need for him to stay any longer. It would be better for him to leave with Song Jin and live a carefree and happy life.

"Then let's just leave tomorrow!"

Song Jin's eyes lit up slightly. She didn't want a bunch of people to see her off.

She likes to be alone and walk quietly.

Cui Huaiji also doted on her: "Okay."

*

Song Jin thought that he left so quickly that no one would notice, but he didn't know that on the day they left Sheng An, everyone watched them leave from afar.

At the gate of the city, Concubine Rong, who everyone thought had died on the day of the forced abdication, was actually standing alive at the gate, pulling the Ninth Prince, who should have also died, away talking and laughing.

The eleventh prince pouted and squeezed in between the two of them.

"You said you would take me with you, why did you leave me behind?"

Xu Shi'an had a headache: "Mu'er, father said you are not allowed to leave. If I take you with me, I'm afraid the Imperial Guards will chase us all the way."

"Nonsense! Father has already promised me!"

That's why I say Xu Mu is a liar!

The emperor's words were obviously just a perfunctory response.

How could the emperor feel at ease if his half-grown child left the palace?

But Xu Mu insisted on going with them.

"I don't care! If you don't take me with you, I will cry here, and then no one can leave!"

After the threat, Xu Mu turned around and hugged Rongpin's arm.

"Aunt Rong, you won't ignore me, right? Just let me go with you~"

How could Rongpin resist his coquettishness, and her heart softened immediately.

"Forget it, Shian, let's go together."

If the emperor really didn't agree, he wouldn't have allowed Xu Mu to come here.

Xu Xian stared at him for a while and said, "Okay, then don't complain about being tired, or I'll send you back right away..."

"Great! Brother is the best!"

Xu Mu did a bear pounce and spun around happily.

The three of them left Sheng An in a grand manner.

The guards guarding the city gate simply pretended to be blind.

They were ordered by their superiors to pretend they couldn't recognize it.

On a tall building not far away.

The third princess, Xu Mu, was lying on the edge of the bed, bored, looking at the jumping figures at the city gate, feeling depressed.

"Brother, they are all gone."

After a palace coup, her brothers and sisters were either killed or injured, and now only she and Xu Guanlin are left in the palace.

Xu Muqing raised his head and drank another glass of wine.

Xu Guanlin glanced at her lightly without stopping her.

Some things are bound to happen.

For example, since they are in the royal family, they are destined to have weak family ties.

"Don't get too drunk, or your mother will scold you later. Don't blame me for not helping you then."

"Woo woo woo woo."

Xu Muqing suddenly burst into tears.

"They're gone, my uncle is gone too, there are only two of us left, can't I even have a drink?!"

It's obvious that he's started to get drunk.

Xu Guanlin began to regret why he agreed to go out drinking with her?

Giving gifts is secondary, drinking to relieve sorrow is the main thing!

"Third sister! I want to drink too!"

As if he saw something delicious, Xu Huai Ni opened his bright eyes and rushed towards her.

Xu Guanlin was silent.

How could he forget that he has a silly sister? Are these two guys trying to drive him crazy by getting together?!

Xu Muxi put his index finger against her and burped, "You, can't drink. Be good, Eighth Sister, go have some tea."

"I don't want it! I want what's in Third Sister's hand!"

The two sisters cuddled together, laughing and playing.

Xu Guanlin suddenly felt overwhelmed, so he simply called Shen Changqi in to separate the two lunatics.

"Don't pull me!"

Xu Muqing yelled loudly.

Xu Guanlin was so angry that he held down her hand and said, "Give some to Gu An! When you meet your sister-in-law later, don't scare the baby in her belly!"

child……

Xu Muqing's eyes widened instantly, and it was unknown how much he had sobered up.

He struggled to get up, raised his feet and rushed out. Xu Huainiu also chased after him.

"Burp! Imperial sister-in-law! Child! I'm going to be an aunt, hahahaha!"

Xu Guanlin's temples were throbbing.

"Help me stop them!!!"
