Sheng Changling frantically stroked the paper in his hand, as if looking at someone through a portrait, his eyes filled with deep longing.
"Xi'er..."
He was being driven almost insane by the torment.
Ever since he first saw Liu two months ago, he had been secretly smitten, instantly falling head over heels for her.
However, at the time, he did not expect that this side would become the only warm ray of light in his long and uncertain hopes.
Now, Xi'er has gone from being the Crown Princess to the Emperor's Imperial Noble Consort, but he is still stuck in the same place, and he can't even see her no matter how hard he tries.
The thought of his power being eroded by Sheng Jin, and the fact that he could do nothing about it, filled him with frustration.
It can only be said that Sheng Jin is indeed worthy of being the emperor; he is ruthless and cruel in his actions. He is trying to turn himself into a powerless and idle prince.
hateful!
Utterly despicable!
No, I can't wait any longer. Since Sheng Jin is so heartless, I have no choice but to be heartless and unjust along with him.
That night, Sheng Changling made up his mind: no more slowly boiling the frog, no more cautious actions, but directness—
They've rebelled!
Time flies, and an uprising broke out in Jiangnan. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince led troops to quell the rebellion and suppressed it.
However, this delayed Sheng Changfeng's return to the capital, and he didn't make it in time for Liu Lingxi to give birth.
But it wasn't without its advantages; at the very least, it saved them from the bloodshed and chaos of the Forbidden City.
That's right, after months of planning, Sheng Changling rebelled!
On the day Liu Lingxi gave birth, Sheng Jin stayed by her side the whole time. He only received the news when the soldiers stormed the city gates, but by then it was too late.
"You scoundrel! I knew I wasn't wrong about you. You really are a wolf in sheep's clothing. If I had known this would happen, I should have killed you!"
"Tsk, if you hadn't forcibly taken Xi'er, I wouldn't have thought of rebelling. You forced me to do this."
Sheng Changling narrowed his eyes slightly, his charming eyes reflecting a cold light, his long sword like a rainbow, reflecting the dazzling light of the sun.
Just as he was about to stab Sheng Jin with his sword, Sheng Jin dodged it!
"etc!"
The victor takes all, and the loser is condemned. Sheng Changling never intended to leave Sheng Jin alive, because he knew that once he failed, Sheng Jin would not give him a way out either.
However, he still gave Sheng Jin the opportunity to leave a last message, since he was going to kill Sheng Jin sooner or later anyway, so it wouldn't make a difference if he waited a little longer.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Sheng Changling looked at Sheng Jin, who was being held captive and whose face was abnormally pale. After thinking for a moment, he stopped his sword and did not stab her.
He also wanted to hear what this person had to say.
“I planted a female Gu in Xi’er’s body, so we are bound together by life and death, and the pain is transferred to her, so you can’t kill me.”
After listening to Sheng Jin's explanation, Sheng Changling finally understood why Xi'er, despite being in labor, did not shout loudly like the other women.
It turns out that all of Xi'er's pain was borne by someone else.
But this also means that I can't eliminate this love rival!
hateful!
"Guards, take him away."
Sheng Changling waved his hand, then took over from Sheng Jin to guard Liu Lingxi's delivery room, showing no sense of urgency about ascending the throne.
Those below, being Sheng Changling's confidants, naturally knew how much he cared about this person, and thus did not tactlessly disturb him.
And so, a mutiny came and went quietly.
By the time Liu Lingxi finished giving birth after a full day and night, the world in the Forbidden City had changed.
