Outside the Jingnan Palace, Ye Cangmang looked up at the sky—the time had come! He took out a flare and sent out a signal.
Everyone is in position, waiting to initiate the blood sacrifice formation.
Sikong Ling looked at the signal in the sky, picked up the cup in his hand and smashed it to the ground.
This is the signal to take action!
Sikong Ling's men immediately took out daggers and stabbed the people from Jingnan Palace who were sitting next to them!
The blood sacrifice formation was activated at the same time. In an instant, the hall of Jingnan Palace was dyed red with blood. The blood condensed into streams, which quickly extended from all directions towards the bridal chamber of Sikong Zhan and Lin Jinghan!
"Sikong Zhan, today, I will use the blood of you, my loyal subordinates, to complete this blood sacrifice! You are the sacrifice! Haha! Big brother, daddy, I will avenge you now!" Sikong Ling laughed so hard that tears came out.
Tang Xin was in inner torment for several days. She could not believe that the prince who changed their fate and made the Jingnan Palace more and more powerful would replace the prince as the princess said.
Hearing the noise outside, she rushed out of the room. Seeing the situation in front of her, she was terrified and knelt in front of Sikong Ling, begging bitterly:
"No! Sister-in-law, please stop! Let's discuss this properly. Don't do anything that will make you regret for the rest of your life!"
Now, the arrow is on the string, how could Sikong Ling give up just because of Tang Xin's words? Besides, even if she wanted to give up now, it was no longer her choice!
She stared at the blood sacrifice formation, her heart hardened, not even looking at Tang Xin, "Someone, take her away!"
The guards received the order and immediately went to capture Tang Xin, but someone suddenly appeared and protected Tang Xin, "Stop, don't touch my sister!"
The person who came was Tang Xun.
Sikong Ling was shocked. "Tang Xun, didn't you go back to your room to rest because you were drunk?"
"Are you drunk? Princess, Ling'er! It was you who tampered with my wine, wasn't it?" Tang Xun looked at his sweetheart whom he had finally married with great difficulty. Until now, he couldn't believe that she would actually do such a thing.
If Tang Xin hadn't told him at the prince's wedding that the princess was going to deal with the prince, he would have probably fallen for Sikong Ling's trick today, sleeping through it all and missing out on everything...
Sikong Ling admitted generously,
"Yes, it was me who did it. I didn't want you to get involved in this matter. Why didn't you fall asleep? My husband, you getting involved like this makes it very difficult for me to do what I want."
Tang Xun glanced at the nearly completed formation and hurriedly dissuaded him:
"Princess! Don't be silly, stop now! The prince is only thinking about the Jingnan Palace. He has never thought of seizing the throne of the Sikong family. Ling'er, it's not too late to stop now!"
"Do you think I can stop?" Sikong Ling was determined and looked at Tang Xun stubbornly.
"After tonight, the Jingnan Palace will return to orthodoxy. Sikong Zhan, he took something that didn't belong to him, he deserves to die!"
"Ling'er! Did you know that the prince came to tell me last night that when you give birth to our child, he will pass the throne of King Jingnan to our child! He has never thought of usurping the throne of King Jingnan! He is wholeheartedly thinking about the Jingnan Palace!"
Sikong Ling was shocked: Tang Xun would never tell lies to deceive her. Could it be that Sikong Zhan really didn't want to seize the throne of her Sikong family?
No, that's not the case! He must be lying to Tang Xun! And then using Tang Xun to lie to her! It must be!
Sikong Ling looked up at the formation, and her slightly wavering heart became firm again, "It's too late. Once this formation is activated, no one can stop it!"
"No! Prince! Princess!" Tang Xun saw that Sikong Ling was no longer able to convince him, so he drew his sword and slashed at the people setting up the formation, "Stop!"
"Brother, I'll accompany you!" Tang Xin also hurriedly followed with his weapon.
"Why seek death?" Ye Cangmang had been sitting on the roof watching the show. Seeing this, he sighed, shook his head, and waved his hand indifferently.
Immediately, someone surrounded and attacked Tang Xun!
Sikong Ling looked at Tang Xun, then at Ye Cangmang, and finally looked away, forcing herself not to look at Tang Xun: He asked for it, he wanted to die, so why should she care what he did!
Tang Xun and Tang Xin were surrounded and struggled to resist the siege of more than 20 people, and were soon injured.
Listening to the sounds of fighting and the sound of swords piercing flesh, Sikong Ling couldn't help but look towards Tang Xun - he was injured, his steps were disordered, and he would be killed in a moment.
If the Jingnan Army changed its leader, chaos would surely break out. If Tang Xun died, who would help her stabilize the morale of the Jingnan Army? If he died, what would be the point of her marrying him?
No, he can't die yet!
Sikong Ling hurriedly shouted at Ye Cangmang, "Stop, don't kill him! He's still useful!"
"I'm very jealous that Ling'er defends him like this..." Ye Cangmang pretended to be sad and had no intention of asking anyone to stop.
Sikong Ling didn't expect Ye Cangmang to ignore her and emphasized:
"I told them to stop! Tang Xun is the deputy commander of the Jingnan Army, he can't die now!"
"But he is your husband! He married you, so he deserves to die!" Ye Cangmang laughed cruelly.
"Ling'er, you can only choose one between me and him. Choose me or him, you have to think carefully before making a decision!"
At this moment, Sikong Ling clearly realized that Ye Cangmang had never been something she could control. He had never thought of listening to her in this plan...
"Someone, come and save Deputy Commander Tang!" She was angry. Since Ye Cangmang was unreliable, she couldn't let Tang Xun die!
Those who were still alive in the field were all Sikong Ling's confidants, and they immediately rushed to rescue them upon hearing the news.
But it was too late! Ye Cangmang's sword had already reached Tang Xun's body!
"No!" At this moment, Sikong Ling regretted it.
Ever since he and she got married, his meticulous care and attentiveness had already silently captured her heart like a gentle spring breeze...
But she only realized her feelings at this moment, when he was about to leave her forever!
It was clearly Sikong Zhan's fault, why should she bear the consequences? !
"Tang Xun! Get out of the way!" she shouted desperately.
Tang Xun knew he couldn't dodge the incoming knife, so he followed the sound and looked towards Sikong Ling, feeling tragic and desperate...
Suddenly, a strong sense of oppression came in an instant and appeared beside Tang Xun in the blink of an eye.
"Anyone who dares to touch my people will die!" The black Sikong Zhan noticed the movement here and rushed over immediately. When Tang Xun was about to die, he saved him!
"Prince Jingnan!" Ye Cangmang was horrified and immediately stood up from the roof, fully alert.
"Kill King Jingnan at all costs!"
Sikong Ling had exhausted all his strength because of this incident and fell to the ground, feeling both relieved and scared.
She was very happy that Tang Xun was not dead, but Sikong Zhan was not in the bridal chamber, which meant that her action today had completely failed. She had exposed all her people today, and she would never have the chance to take back everything that belonged to her Sikong family.
She is finished...
