As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Late at night, the evening breeze blew the bamboo leaves by the window, making a rustling sound, and the warm and soft moonlight passed through the window and squeezed into the room.

Shen Lanyue opened her eyes, carefully turned over and looked out the window through the curtains, clutching the quilt tightly with her fingertips and frowning slightly.

The chess piece she had buried deep beside Li Wenxuan finally played its true role.

How could she let Li Wenxuan get away with it? Of course, she knew the virtuous concubine in the palace, and Shen Lanyue did not dare to ignore her methods and schemes.

Perhaps Concubine Xian was able to see through the situation in the palace, but she would not be on guard against Zhu Huaishu, and she had no idea that the elite troops at Li Wenxuan's disposal were hiding next to this real dandy.

This secret was told to her by Xu Ziyun in her previous life. It was a secret obtained at the cost of the pain of life.

Of course she had to return it all to Li Wenxuan and Zhu Huaishu, and cut off most of his arm, and all the hard work she had put in over the years was destroyed.

Shen Lanyue was somewhat impatient to know the news.

"Can't sleep?"

A warm breath came from behind her, and she was held in his arms. The deep and hoarse voice from waking up after a long sleep was somewhat tempting.

"I woke up suddenly."

Shen Lanyue suppressed all her emotions, turned around, hid in his arms, and buried her head in his chest.

Meng Changce was too smart, and she didn't want him to see the emotions in her eyes at this moment.

Meng Changce chuckled, took the person's hand in his, wrapped it up and put it in the quilt.

Then he said teasingly in an ambiguous tone: "Since you can't sleep, why not..."

Shen Lanyue's face turned red from the hot breath coming from his chest. Hearing his teasing voice again, she raised her head and glared at him.

He said with some annoyance: "No."

"What did I say that Madam thinks is not okay?"

Shen Lanyue: “…”

"Okay, go to sleep." Meng Changce stopped teasing her and patted her on the chest. "Everything will come out tomorrow."

Shen Lanyue didn't notice that when he said this, a thin layer of chilling coldness appeared in his narrow and evil black eyes.

The night is not over yet.

Emperor Yingde sat on a high seat, looking down at Li Jing, who was kneeling on the ground in dejection and indifference, with an expression of suppressed and incomprehensible emotions in his brows.

The eldest princess standing next to him looked at Li Jing without any warmth or kindness in her eyes.

The moment Li Jing saw the eldest princess, a sneer rose in his heart.

All his doubts were dispelled at that moment. This was a game from the very beginning.

Li Jing's expression was full of sarcasm, his thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and he lowered his head as if he didn't want to communicate with anyone anymore.

"Tang Hai."

Emperor Yingde's voice broke the silent atmosphere.

Tang Hai came out of the secret passage on the other side, holding a tray in his hand. From the beginning, this personal eunuch had not appeared in the Qianqing Palace, but with Emperor Yingde's words, everyone's eyes were on him.

Li Jing only glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and his kneeling body trembled uncontrollably. It was not for any other reason, Tang Hai came out of the secret door through which he appeared in the Qianqing Palace.

His gaze stopped on the wine glass on the tray in Tang Hai's hand. His eyelids trembled, and the hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists, shaking slightly because of the excessive force.

Li Jing's face turned pale, his breathing became heavy, and his head dropped even lower.

The eldest princess' eyes flashed, and when no one was paying attention, her beautiful eyes turned slightly cold.

But in just a flash, she disappeared into her eyes and no one could see clearly.

"Your Majesty." The eldest princess called softly, turning sideways to look at Emperor Yingde, as if she couldn't bear it.

Emperor Yingde frowned, with an ambiguous expression, and stared at Li Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, with an increasingly strong gaze.

"You must admit your mistake!"

The palace fell silent again. Tang Hai stopped and stood still.

Li Jing looked up when he heard that. His eyes, as cold as a pond, showed no emotion at this moment. He suddenly stood up slowly and looked around at the people standing in the hall.

Finally, he stopped his gaze on Li Xuli and smiled at him.

At this moment, his usually gentle and elegant face glowed with a thrilling look, as if he had finally gotten rid of something that had been binding him.

"No!" Li Xuli's heart suddenly started beating violently, and the voice that came out of his mouth was terribly hoarse.

With a swish, a dark light flashed across Li Xuli's eyes. Before he could react, warm blood spurted onto his face.

"Your Highness the Wise King!"

Li Xuli's mind went blank. He turned his eyes blankly and saw Li Jing snatching the knife from the person next to him and slitting his throat to commit suicide.

He looked towards Emperor Yingde with a stiff expression, and saw that he was still sitting in the same place on the throne, and he couldn't see clearly.

Why, why couldn’t he see his father’s expression clearly!

Li Xuli seemed to hear the little Li Jing who chased him and shouted at him when he was a child. They were both raised by the queen and were the closest when they were young. Obviously at that time...

When he came to his senses, he found that he had already covered Li Jing's neck, from which blood was gushing out, with one hand and was holding him in his arms.

Li Jing's pupils were dilated, and he looked at the tall and unclear Emperor Yingde in the darkness, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"In my next life, I will never be born...in a royal family."

After a breath, he stared at Emperor Yingde's position and stopped breathing.

A loud thunder broke the darkness of the night.

The Buddhist beads in the queen's hand broke, and the beads fell all over the ground with a clatter. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Empress?" The nanny saw that the queen looked dazed and called out worriedly.

The queen did not answer her, but stared at the Buddha with sharp eyes, and the blood color on her face slowly faded.

As the heavy rain was about to stop, a group of people quietly approached the palace gate.

At this time, the palace gate was closed and no one could enter without special permission.

"Who is coming?" the gate guard shouted.

Zhu Huaishu came out of the carriage, held out his token and shouted, "I am the eldest son of the Zhu family, and I have important business to attend to in the palace."

"The time has passed. You cannot enter the palace without orders. I hope your Excellency will forgive me."

"Can you afford it if things are delayed?" Zhu Huaishu frowned and shouted loudly.

The guards were in a dilemma.

When the two teams were in a stalemate, a guard ran over and said something in his ear.

The guard nodded sternly and waved to signal others.

"Open the door and release Lord Zhu."

Zhu Huaishu was originally worried about what to do if he couldn't get in, but then he saw the guards agreed. He also saw the man, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that it was someone arranged by His Highness.

He entered the palace with the person hiding under the car.

In fact, some of Li Wenxuan's real people were hiding in the palace, a place that no one else could imagine.

The emperor's feet are the most dangerous and the safest place.

The carriage moved forward all the way, getting further and further away. After they gathered their people, they were ready to go to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Huaishu frowned, his tone was clearly hostile.

The palace was so quiet that not a single maid or eunuch could be seen.

"Yang Cheng, did His Highness say where it is?"

Yang Cheng paused, a perfect smile on his humble face.
