Chapter 37 I Love You More in This Life
"..." Shen Junheng laughed dumbly, and after a moment of silence, he said seriously, "Xiao Lingyu, you clearly intervened to create an opportunity to overthrow Xiao Linghe. Xiao Linghe is no fool, and he will soon find out where you are. How will you respond then?"
Xiao Lingyu restrained his expression and said, "He already knew my whereabouts. He has his men lurking outside Fanshui Residence. If I want to take advantage of this opportunity to bring him down, it would be best if I could stay out of it. Why would I get involved?"
"After I returned to the capital, I wanted to see you very much. But when you dismissed Ke Ji, I knew you didn't want me to enter your house at night and meet you secretly. But I missed you so much that I couldn't wait to see you. I went to Zuichunlou and dressed up as an actor, just to see you."
Shen Junheng couldn't help but be stunned. His words were like a slap in the face, and she gradually came to her senses.
Chen Ying was a piece that Xiao Linghe deliberately gave up, and he was the one who was in charge of this game.
The prince's party thought they had found a huge flaw and could take the opportunity to kill Xiao Linghe, but they didn't know that Xiao Linghe had already defeated Xiao Lingyu first.
Zuichunlou is Xiao Linghe's property. Jiuniang is a smart person. Even though Xiao Lingyu tried his best to hide his identity, she still keenly saw his true identity and informed Xiao Linghe of the news in time.
Xiao Linghe asked Chen Ying to send someone to assassinate Ji Zixuan on the surface, but in fact he wanted to deal with Xiao Lingyu.
If Xiao Lingyu wanted to preserve her reputation, he couldn't reveal his identity. Even if the assassins couldn't kill him, they could at least seriously injure him.
When Xiao Linghe learned that she had brought Xiao Lingyu back to Fanshuiju, he ordered his men to ambush outside the mansion, waiting to catch her in the trap.
The crown prince had an affair with the wife of a military general. Once the affair was exposed, his position as crown prince would be over.
And she, who is not a faithful wife, will probably have no chance of survival.
Although Xiao Linghe knew that Xiao Lingyu was in Fanshuiju, he could not rush in rashly. He had to have a legitimate reason.
He is waiting.
Thinking of this, Shen Junheng was a little amused and said with a bitter face: "So, you are asking for death yourself, and you want to drag me down with you?"
Xiao Lingyu's eyes darkened, filled with deep apology and determination: "I'm sorry, it was my inconsiderateness that put you in danger. But don't worry, if it really comes to that, I will say that I was entangled with you. I will take all the blame and will never let you and the Shen family be implicated."
Shen Junheng looked at him, and the heat in his eyes melted a corner of the ice in her heart.
"Have you expected this day to come?" Shen Junheng looked into his eyes, thinking of how he had given her all the rewards from the emperor some time ago, and felt mixed emotions.
Xiao Lingyu said seriously, "In the battle for the throne, the outcome is unpredictable. I know I shouldn't have provoked you, but I couldn't help myself. Even if I were to live again, I would still love you. But in this life, I have prepared for the worst. No matter what the outcome, I will do my best to protect you and the Shen family."
"You, what did you say?" Shen Junheng stared at him in a daze as if struck by lightning.
"You guessed right, I am reborn." Xiao Lingyu said calmly.
Such a big secret, Xiao Lingyu told her so casually
This shows that she is completely defenseless.
His calm words were like a huge stone falling into the lake of her heart, creating huge cracks in the ice on the lake surface and making her heart restless for a long time.
Seeing her silence, Xiao Lingyu thought she was worried and said softly, "I already have leverage over Xiao Linghe, which is why he's so eager to take action against me. Even if I lose the crown prince position, the leverage I hold is enough to drag him down with me. If he wants to maintain his position as crown prince, he must protect you and the Shen family."
Shen Junheng pondered for a long time, then slowly said, "Who do you like, the me from my previous life, or the me from this life?"
"I liked you in my previous life, but I love you in this life even more." Xiao Lingyu said affectionately, "In this life, I feel that you are obviously different from your previous life. You are clear-headed and transparent, introverted and cautious. You put armor on your heart, always trying to keep me at a distance, but this makes me feel even more distressed. In fact, compared to you, I love you in this life even more."
Xiao Lingyu paused and looked at her inquiringly: "I always feel like you are a different person."
Shen Junheng was a little confused.
She knew that he had doubts in his heart, but she still didn't want to reveal her heart completely. She couldn't be as completely defenseless as him.
Shen Junheng calmly changed the subject: "Are your injuries feeling better?"
"You still care about me." Xiao Lingyu pointed at his chest and said, "It still hurts here, just rub it for me."
Shen Junheng rolled his eyes at him and was about to punch him when Liu Xiaodie suddenly rushed in, panting, "Miss, the son-in-law is back! He's right outside the door now, and the doorman can't stop him."
Shen Junheng and Xiao Lingyu looked at each other.
The adulterer is here.
Shen Junheng asked calmly, "Besides him, who else is outside the door?"
Liu Xiaodie said: "There are three more deputy generals."
Shen Junheng looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked him, "Can you defeat He Pingzhi and his three lieutenants?"
Shen Junheng knew that although he was seriously injured, he should be almost recovered. After all, she spent a lot of money to buy Ji Zixuan the healing medicine produced by the space. After he took the medicine, his body recovered almost completely. Now he looked weak just to show her.
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile: "Although I am injured, I am still more than capable of dealing with He Pingzhi. Besides, I have wanted to beat him for a long time."
Shen Junheng couldn't help laughing, and turned to Liu Xiaodie and said, "Let him in."
"Yes." Liu Xiaodie stepped out.
After a while, He Pingzhi walked in aggressively with three deputy generals.
The door was open and Shen Junheng was sitting at the table, sipping tea calmly.
He Pingzhi walked to the door and said, suppressing his anger, "You have a lover?"
Shen Junheng glanced at him and asked calmly, "Who told you that?"
"The whole capital knows about it, and you still have the nerve to ask?" He Pingzhi sneered, "Where is your concubine? Let him come and see me."
"Look, it's on the bed, you can see for yourself." Shen Junheng smiled and glanced at Xiao Lingyu who was lying on the bed.
Xiao Lingyu was half lying on the bed, still wearing the Lanling King mask on his face.
Xiao Lingyu looked intoxicated and said with a smile, "General He, your wife is so gentle."
"Looking for death!" He Pingzhi was furious when he heard this and immediately drew out his long sword and slashed at him.
The knife gleamed fiercely and was filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Lingyu rolled sideways, dodging the attack, and then kicked He Pingzhi's wrist. He Pingzhi backhanded a sweeping blow, and Xiao Lingyu leaped to avoid it. Xiao Lingyu immediately rushed towards He Pingzhi, striking him in the chest with both palms. He Pingzhi stepped back a few steps before stabbing again, sideways, grabbing his wrist and twisting it, bringing the blade down before delivering a sweeping kick that tripped him.
