Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

Her legs went weak and her body collapsed to the ground, the fire of life quietly extinguished.

The midday sun was shining obliquely as Su Jingchuan sat leaning on the dragon throne, feeling exhausted. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared at the beams above the palace, his heart filled with endless sorrow and helplessness.

"emperor!"

Outside the door, Jiang Dehai hesitated for a moment, but finally walked into the hall cautiously, breaking the silence.

Su Jingchuan roughly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, closed his eyes slightly, and ordered indifferently: "Speak!"

Jiang Dehai frowned and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Regent has led his troops to surround the palace."

"Regent?"

Su Jingchuan stood up suddenly and stared at Jiang Dehai in disbelief. "Isn't he dead? How could he lead the troops back again?"

"Could it be that all the checkpoints and counties along the way were asleep? Why did I not know about it until they were at the gates of the city?"

Su Jingchuan was so angry that the teacup in his hand shattered.

Jiang Dehai glanced at the furious Su Jingchuan and chose to remain silent without answering.

"Where are Duke Ye and Qiu Changyi?"

Su Jingchuan glanced at the silent Jiang Dehai, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Dehai bowed and replied, "It is said that Duke Ye has colluded with the Regent and imprisoned General Qiu in the death row of Sizhou."

"Jingchen, what exactly does he want to do? Is he plotting a rebellion?"

Su Jingchuan's hands were tightly gripping the edge of the table, trembling slightly.

At this time, most of the military forces of the Royalist Department and Yuan Kingdom were concentrated in Sizhou. How could the Imperial Guards in the palace alone resist Su Jingchen's cavalry?

Su Jingchuan slumped back into his chair, holding his forehead with both hands. "Go, take Wanwan to the tower of the palace gate. I'll be there right away."

On the city wall, Yu Yanwan, wearing a bright red wedding dress, looked down at Su Jingchen standing in front of the army outside the palace gate, with a happy smile on her face.

He had promised to marry her today, and he kept his promise.

Next to Su Jingchen, a heroic man was riding on a tall horse. The two of them looked up at Yu Yanwan on the city wall, their eyes filled with tacit understanding and affection.

Su Jingchuan's eyes were wide open as he looked at Yu Yanwan who was flirting with Su Jingchen. He put his arms around her waist without giving her any explanation and held her in his arms regardless of her struggle.

"Jingchen, today is the day I marry Wanwan. Are you here to congratulate me or to cause trouble?"

Su Jingchen frowned, not expecting Su Jingchuan to be so stubborn.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to seize my wife?"

If it weren't for the friendship between them in the past, Su Jingchen would have already captured the imperial city. Su Jingchuan knew his abilities very well.

Su Jingchuan sneered, took out a divorce letter with a jade seal from his sleeve, and threw it down from the tower: "She is no longer your wife! I have already granted you a divorce!"

Su Jingchen's body shook, he drew the sword from his waist, and chopped the divorce letter into pieces with one sword.

"If Your Majesty insists on doing what he wants, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

At the side, the handsome man Luo Xiwo gently tugged at the corner of Su Jingchen's clothes and shouted to Su Jingchuan on the tower: "I am Luo Xiwo, the King of the Northern Guard of Liang State. I beg the emperor to think twice and not let the war affect the eldest princess of Liang State!"

The eldest princess? Su Jingchuan stared at Yu Yanwan in his arms in disbelief. Could it be that the eldest princess of Liang mentioned by Luo Xiwo was her?

Yu Yanwan also looked at the handsome figure under the city wall in surprise. She was alone on the city wall. Was the eldest princess that Luo Xiwo was referring to a lie or a fact?

"Jingchen, you kept it a secret for so long just to become a puppet of the Liang people!"

Su Jingchuan was angry and anxious, and roared in a low voice.

Luo Xiwo shook his head in disdain and said to Su Jingchen: "If I had known that the Emperor of Yuan would act like this, I would have led my troops to attack Huanglong directly."

Su Jingchen's eyebrows were tightly knitted, his eyes were like torches, and he stared directly at Su Jingchuan on the tower: "Release Wanwan now, everything can still be saved, the country still belongs to you, I will take Wanwan away from the disputes. But if you are still obsessed, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Luo Xiwo curled his lips and questioned Su Jingchen in dissatisfaction: "You are so foolishly loyal, it is really unwise. He wants to kill you and take possession of your wife, why do you keep giving in? It's unbelievable!"

In a flash, Su Jingchuan suddenly drew out the long sword of the guard beside him and placed it on Yu Yanwan's delicate neck.

As the emperor of Yuan Kingdom, although he had great power in his life, he mistakenly trusted Shu Rao, a vicious woman, and could not even protect his beloved mother, sister and children. How could such an emperor have the face to talk about governing the country and pacifying the world!

Yu Yanwan's body stiffened involuntarily, and a shocking red color gradually seeped out from under the skin of her neck.

Su Jingchen finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly: "Su Jingchuan, if you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I will overthrow your kingdom and make sure you die without a burial place!"

Su Jingchuan laughed wildly towards the sky in despair: "In this life, the one I treat most sincerely is Wanwan. Even if I can't have her while I'm alive, I won't feel lonely if I can go to hell with her after death!"

"You killed Jingxuan. Because of the late emperor's kindness, I spared your life. But now you want to harm Wanwan!"

Su Jingchen suddenly stood up and rushed towards the city wall like an arrow.

Just as Su Jingchuan was about to attack, before he swung his sword, he felt a sharp pain from behind, and a sharp blade pierced deeply into his chest.

"Bang!"

The long sword fell to the ground. Su Jingchuan turned around in shock and pointed his finger at Jiang Dehai with trembling hands: "You...you...why..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Jingchuan's figure was like a fallen leaf blown up by a strong wind. Su Jingchen, who had jumped onto the city wall, suddenly kicked him into the air with a powerful kick. The kick drew a bleak arc and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Su Jingchen landed steadily on the ground, and gently but firmly hugged Yu Yanwan, who was still trembling slightly due to fright. His eyes were as firm as iron, and the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, pointing directly at Su Jingchuan who was struggling to get up on the ground. He was like a guardian god, not allowing anyone to infringe on his treasure.

Jiang Dehai, the old servant, walked towards Su Jingchuan who was lying on the ground with a staggering but firm step, his eyes filled with complex emotions, both reluctance and determination.

He held Su Jingchuan in his arms with trembling arms, tears flowing down his deeply wrinkled face, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, you have done too many wrong things over the years. As your old servant, I really can't bear to see you continue to sink like this."

"You may not know that when the late emperor was alive, he once secretly entrusted me with a request that if anyone dared to have any evil intentions towards the regent, I would use this hidden dagger ruthlessly to eliminate the trouble in the future."

Jiang Dehai's voice was filled with endless sorrow. "Looking back, when you ordered the execution of the innocent Princess Jingxuan, it was the time for me to fulfill my promise. I only blame myself for being soft-hearted and making a huge mistake."

Su Jingchuan's mouth was covered with bloody foam. He forced himself to glare at Jiang Dehai. His big hands tightly grasped the other's collar, but he could only utter unclear words: "You..."

Jiang Dehai gently wiped the blood from the corner of Su Jingchuan's mouth with a clean cloth. His tone was gentle but filled with infinite sorrow: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I know your pain very well. Soon it will all be over and there will be no more pain. I will always be by your side until the end."

After saying this, Jiang Dehai's eyes flashed with a farewell light. He turned around abruptly, pulled out the sharp dagger from his back, and resolutely stabbed it into his chest. Then he used up his last bit of strength to hug Su Jingchuan tightly, and forced a bitter smile: "On the road to the underworld, this old slave is willing to continue to be loyal to you as your servant and accompany you... accompany you forever..."
