"What's wrong? Why do you look like that?" Song Fengzhi asked.
"Before I met you, I lived a life of being bullied and never knew what it felt like to be respected and admired. Although I am the eighth son of the current emperor and have an unparalleled noble status, my life was worse than that of an ordinary person."
The root of all this lies with my emperor father, who is all show and no substance. He has never cared about me or my mother. After my mother died, he didn't care about me at all, as if I never existed.
Fengzhi, do you know? Once, during a family banquet for the Lantern Festival, because I couldn't hold my liquor, my eldest brother punished me by making me swallow a bowl of scalding hot glutinous rice balls in front of many people. I was scared at the time, and I looked at my father, hoping he could save me, but he ignored me and even told me not to disobey my eldest brother.
I refused because the glutinous rice balls were scalding hot. They had the guards hold me down and force-feed me. It was so hot, I felt like the rice balls were going to burn my stomach. Not only that, but my mouth was also scalded and blistered. I cried for a long time because of the pain.
My mother always said that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but why did I get beaten and humiliated by my siblings when I cried?
I hate, I hate my father, I hate my elder brother, I hate them all, I hate them for giving me so many thorns and so much harm.
But in the end, they are still my family, I…”
Shen Ye sniffed, her face full of sadness and sorrow. "So, when I heard you say you wanted to start a rebellion to give me the position of empress, I was in a difficult position. But I really hope you can do what you want to do, not for me. I'm not worth it."
“You deserve it, you are a worthy person.” He looked at Chen Ye, who was crying her eyes out. “For you, I am willing to offend the whole world. If the whole world speaks ill of you, I am willing to slaughter the whole world for you.”
Upon hearing this, a sinister smile appeared on Shen Ye's face, which was buried in Song Fengzhi's chest.
He doesn't want to kill everyone; all he wants is the throne.
"I really don't care. Father wants to separate us and force you to marry my sister, so it's understandable that you want to resist, but..."
"But what?"
"But you can't kill my father and elder brother. You can lock them up."
Lock them up and wait for me to deal with them personally, so they'll know what it means to be punished for doing bad things.
"Okay." Song Fengzhi agreed without even thinking.
Next, Song Fengzhi stayed with Shen Ye for a while longer before getting up and going to the military camp to deploy all plans.
Raising an army in rebellion is no small matter; it requires meticulous planning and a battle strategy in order to successfully force the emperor to abdicate and seize the throne.
Conversely, if the deployment is not precise, even with a large army, the entire force could be wiped out.
Therefore, an elite army without a wise general is still useless.
A few days later, the news that the princess from Yun Kingdom who was sent as a marriage alliance was a man spread like wildfire throughout the entire empire.
Everyone was talking about it, it was common knowledge!
While people were discussing Yin Xingchuan, they also mentioned Feng Changyu. Some even speculated whether Feng Changyu slept with Yin Xingchuan in her sleep with her eyes closed, thinking he was a woman. After all, this was a marriage alliance, and she couldn't just divorce him or tell others that the princess she married was a man. So, they made some jokes about making do.
