Who knows who will ultimately inherit the throne in this lifetime?
In her heart, Liu Lingxi naturally hoped that the Crown Prince would win!
Ideally, the throne should be passed to the dragon prince in her womb, so that every emperor of the Sheng family in future generations would have her bloodline.
That way, her rebirth wouldn't have been in vain.
As for her enemies from her past life, she will take their lives one by one. It's not that she won't seek revenge, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.
A fierce glint flashed in Liu Lingxi's lowered eyes, but her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the person beside her.
"Sister-in-law, is something troubling you? Why are you looking so worried? Don't bite your poor lips, it's bad luck if you draw blood."
Sheng Changling actually wanted to hold her in his arms and give her a good kiss and a hug.
The woman carried a captivating peach blossom fragrance, which became more pronounced the closer one got, making Sheng Changling even more eager to get closer and inhale its aroma.
But he was helpless; there were eyes everywhere, and several shadows lurking in the shadows. He didn't know who had sent them.
Even if he wanted to do something, there was always an eyesore of a little palace maid right in front of him, watching him intently.
Sheng Changling was truly helpless this time. He liked this woman, and his heart was still pounding.
This feeling of liking can only be kept inside for the time being; it cannot be expressed at all.
His words still resonated with Liu Lingxi. She nodded slightly and parted her lips, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
However, Liu Lingxi did not forget that Sheng Changling in her previous life was the same way, staring intently at her as if he wanted to devour her.
Um……
It must be a minor flaw of Prince Jing, so she decided not to pursue it further, since she couldn't control that much anyway.
Facing the man's burning gaze, Liu Lingxi, who also had a question in her mind, asked it without thinking.
"I heard that Your Highness is engaged to the eldest daughter of Minister Jiang's family and will be getting married soon. Are you two truly in love?"
After saying that, Liu Lingxi realized that what she said might be somewhat ambiguous, and it sounded like she was jealous.
Sigh, that's what happens when you speak without thinking. Why didn't she think it through for a moment?
Thinking of this, she quickly began to think of ways to make amends, and racked her brains to add a couple more sentences.
"It is like this, I met Miss Jiang Wuyou of the Jiang family when we were young, and we were close friends. Now that I have heard this news, I naturally congratulate you."
call--
It's finally all right.
Liu Lingxi nodded to herself in satisfaction, feeling a surge of pride.
She was now waiting to see Prince Jing's reaction, wanting to know just how far their relationship had progressed.
Once we find out, we'll think of ways to sabotage their relationship and ruin their marriage.
Although it is said that it is better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage, Liu Lingxi did not want to give Jiang Wuyou any chance to climb over her!
Unexpectedly, King Jing seemed to freeze in shock upon hearing her words, remaining dazed for quite a while.
Because—he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten!
He forgot that he was already engaged!
Sheng Changling was dumbfounded, mainly because he didn't know he would meet a woman he truly liked in the future.
Who would have thought that, having lived for over twenty years, he had seen many daughters of officials, young ladies from noble families, and even courtesans, but had never been moved by any of them?
He thought he would never fall in love again in his life, but little did he know, his destined woman was right here!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have let his mother go to the Jiang family to propose marriage; he would have waited.
Sheng Changling was filled with regret; he wanted to rip his guts out to see if they were already turning green!
However, he didn't even consider that even if he wasn't engaged, Liu Lingxi would have been married long ago, so what business was it of his?
Sheng Changling sat blankly on the bed with a mournful face, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost his mind.
Liu Lingxi looked at Sheng Changling with confusion. She wondered, how come this person is still so easily lost in thought? He would drift off into a daze while talking.
Unbeknownst to her, it was only at this moment that Sheng Changling suddenly realized that he still had a fiancée to settle down with!
Liu Lingxi had no idea about Sheng Changling's dilemma; she couldn't tell what he was thinking.
What she wanted to know now was what Sheng Changling was doing and why he wasn't answering her questions!
What was Sheng Changling thinking at this moment? Of course, he was continuing to regret it!
He once only wanted the throne; nothing in the world was more important than that chair, so he was willing to sacrifice his marriage contract at will.
but--
My actions were ultimately a bit hasty!
No, it's too hasty. No one can say that nothing is more important than the throne, and isn't the person right in front of us the one?
Who would have thought that his soulmate would appear after their engagement, and that she would already be someone else's wife?
Oh right—
Xi'er, she has already married and is now the Crown Prince's wife!
How can the Crown Prince be so lucky? Does he have to have all the best things and the best people in the world?
Sheng Changling felt a surge of resentment welling up inside him again, as if he had been scorched by flames, and he was unwilling to accept it.
If it were someone else, they might just say they were destined to be apart, but Sheng Changling was no stranger; he was the most stubborn and obsessive person.
He will get what he wants, no matter how difficult it is, even if it means going through countless hardships, undergoing a complete transformation, or becoming utterly exhausted.
Naturally, he would get what he wanted, even if it meant stealing or robbing!
Thinking of this, Sheng Changling drew his attention back to the woman in front of him.
The woman's eyes were brimming with tears and sparkling with immense curiosity as she gazed at him with bright, innocent eyes.
It seems... it seems like it's asking something.
? !
Upon seeing that look, Sheng Changling suddenly remembered that the woman had just asked him about his relationship with Jiang Wuyou!
Yes, the question is about my marriage!
Of course, he did not play the zither and lute in harmony with Jiang Wuyou.
Everyone knows that he doesn't usually interact with women, not even Jiang Wuyou, who is destined to be the future Princess Consort of Jing.
However, I can't just say it out loud like that.
What should I say?
Sheng Changling is in a bit of trouble now; he doesn't know how to answer this question.
If he's heartless towards Jiang Wuyou, wouldn't Xi'er think he's cruel and ungrateful, so harsh on his fiancée, and thus dislike her?
Xi'er already said that she and Jiang Wuyou are best friends, and they might still remember their childhood friendship. Would she dislike her because of this?
But……
If he were to confess his feelings for Jiang Wuyou, how could he then express them to Xi'er? Wouldn't that make him a two-timing bastard?
He already has someone he likes, yet he still tries to provoke Xi'er. No wonder Xi'er thinks he's a lecher!
