"Shut up." Zongzheng Shen glared at Lu Qingyan hatefully. Then, he looked at Bai Li with a pained expression. He loved Bai Li terribly, especially seeing her willing to submit to Jun Jiuxian for his sake, to save his life. Zongzheng Shen felt as if his heart was being torn apart: "Li'er, don't beg him, I won't allow you to beg him!"
"Empress, if you dare to let anyone harm Li'er, I will never forgive you!"
Jun Jiuxian kicked Zongzheng Shen in the chest: "You're just a prisoner, yet you dare to act tough in front of me? Do you really think you're still the powerful Zongzheng Shen you once were?"
Zongzheng Shen ignored Jun Jiuxian. He held Bai Li's hand, his usually cold eyes now filled with intense emotions. In his eyes, Bai Li was everything, and even the fact that a "monster" had been born didn't seem to affect him much.
"No one can hurt Li'er!"
Lu Qingyan asked, puzzled, "Tong'er, do you think Zongzheng Shen really has such deep feelings for Bai Li?"
Even at this point, he still stayed by her side, wanting to pamper this woman.
The system was a bit bewildered: "Master, I don't know either." How could a single system understand such complex emotions?
"It's no use begging anyway." Jun Jiuxian glanced at Lu Qingyan, whose eyes were curved in a smile, and added, causing Bai Li to silently shed tears again.
"My lord, take this kingdom, and Ah Shen won't fight you for it. Please, please spare his life..." Bai Li pleaded softly, her face full of pitiful sorrow. At first, she was indeed somewhat resentful after being forcibly taken by Zongzheng Shen, but as time went on, she could not deny the fact that she had fallen in love with Zongzheng Shen. She loved him, loved the man who was strong yet gentle towards her.
She knew she was wrong, but she couldn't control herself. She also understood that she had let down the man who had once made vows of eternal love to her: "I'm begging you, for the sake of our past relationship, spare his life..."
"What kind of relationship have we ever had?" Jun Jiuxian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, a sarcastic smile on his lips: "You're just a withered flower, a woman who gave birth to a monster, and you have the right to talk to me about relationship? It's an insult to my ears."
It was originally a gift prepared for Zongzheng Shen. She drugged him and coaxed him with a few words, and he believed everything. He was on his way to find his dream girl; why would he get entangled with this kind of woman?
In fact, everyone in this world has been deceived by the information he prepared for Bai Li. Apart from himself, no one knows Bai Li's past.
Aside from the system and Lu Qingyan.
As Jun Jiuxian's cold voice rang out, the system screamed in Lu Qingyan's mind: [Ahhh—Master, this white oriole has absolutely no relation to the male god! That's what the system information says.]
Countless images flashed before her eyes, and Lu Qingyan felt like laughing as she looked at the so-called truth.
[This person is truly incredibly resourceful; in just a few years, they've amassed so many people under their command.]
The system was also thrilled: [Master, the plot twist in this story is far more exciting than any TV drama!]
“Imperial Noble Consort, now Zongzheng Shen may not be able to contend for this throne.” Lu Qingyan suddenly laughed, successfully drawing Bai Li’s gaze, who was filled with shame and indignation, to her. “The troops are all in the hands of the Prime Minister, and the court officials all recommend the Prime Minister. What is there for Zongzheng Shen to be proud of? You think you can rely on the Prime Minister now that you have no one to rely on? Don’t flatter yourself.”
