A ruthless glint flashed in Sheng Changling's eyes, completely unlike the gentle and refined gentleman he had just been in front of Liu Lingxi; they were practically unrelated.
Thinking this, he didn't hesitate for long. He waved to Su Lin to send the person away, meaning he didn't want to see him anymore.
Upon receiving the order, Su Lin scrambled out, eager to complete the task well and make amends for his mistake.
Unfortunately, when he told Jiang Wuyou the news with a cold face, Jiang Wuyou didn't believe it at all.
"Impossible! Why wouldn't His Majesty see me? We clearly made an agreement beforehand! You're lying to me, Your Majesty—Your Majesty—"
Jiang Wuyou knew that if he didn't see Sheng Changling today, he would never see him again.
After all, those in the palace knew best how the Emperor treated her today; if they were willing to let her in today, things might not be the same in the future.
No, we can't let this go!
She had to seize the opportunity today, so she shoved Su Lin aside and started shouting loudly inside, completely disregarding her image.
And her shouts did indeed live up to expectations, reaching the ears of every palace servant in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and naturally also reaching the ears of Sheng Changling and Liu Lingxi.
"Enough!"
Sheng Changling was furious. He looked at Liu Lingxi's face, which was gradually turning pale, and assumed that she had been disturbed by the noise outside. He was immediately heartbroken.
He knew that Liu Lingxi was greatly weakened by this pregnancy and needed to rest and recuperate. She couldn't bear such a shock, so he quickly spoke up to stop her and comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. I'll drive her away and won't let her have a chance to break in and hurt you."
"Your Highness..."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Faced with Sheng Changling's concerned gaze, Liu Lingxi suddenly didn't know what to say. She just looked at him timidly with her eyes, which made people's hearts soften.
Sheng Changling affectionately pinched Liu Lingxi's little face, and was about to say something to enhance their relationship when he suddenly heard Jiang Wuyou making a scene.
"Wait for my return."
Liu Lingxi could only watch helplessly as the person left before her eyes, his sleeve slipping from her grasp, and a sudden emptiness welled up in her heart.
Never repeat the mistakes of your past life.
Liu Lingxi couldn't help but recall how Jiang Wuyou had been so arrogant in front of her in her previous life, and how he had so cruelly tried to take her life.
She was utterly powerless to resist, utterly defenseless within the depths of the palace, like a lamb awaiting its lamb, trapped in a long and agonizing despair...
*
Sheng Changling had no idea how uneasy Liu Lingxi was. All he wanted to do now was get rid of this trouble and go back to stay by Liu Lingxi's side.
He wore a dark dragon robe, and even with his beautiful face, it did not diminish his majesty in the slightest, making people dare not look directly at him.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant greets you. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
"Um."
When he arrived outside the hall, everyone bowed to the man with heartfelt respect, except for Jiang Wuyou, who stood there dumbfounded.
"Jiang, do you know that trespassing into the palace is a capital offense, and disrespecting the emperor is an even greater crime? With these multiple offenses combined, execution is justified?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I...I have this..."
Jiang Wuyou calmed his wildly beating heart, rummaged through his pocket for a long time, and finally pulled out a token with the character "陵" (Ling) engraved on it.
Clearly, this is a token belonging to Sheng Changling, and Jiang Wuyou also used it to enter the palace.
As she watched Sheng Changling walk towards her step by step, her heart pounded wildly, and images of her future glory flashed through her mind.
One step, two steps...
