Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Sheng Changling did not dwell too much on Jiang Wuyou's affairs, because in his eyes, Jiang Wuyou was already a dead man.

He had more important things to do now, so he held Liu Lingxi's hand, his eyes gentle, and walked back to the bedroom step by step.

"Xi'er, you are happier today. I have been negligent recently and have wronged you."

This was the first time that Sheng Changling was so gentle. After all, his image in the past had always been evil and unruly, and he did not change even in front of Liu Lingxi.

He domineeringly held her in his arms, just as he always did, without asking Liu Lingxi whether she was willing or not, he made the decision for her on his own initiative.

Seeing that Sheng Changling was not the same as before, Liu Lingxi blinked her big watery eyes in his arms and looked up.

"Your Majesty... why do you say that? You have been very good to me."

It is indeed very good, with fine clothes and delicious food, precious gold and jade, and the support of the whole world.

Except there is no freedom, but in today's world, which woman has freedom?

Liu Lingxi is not an ungrateful person. She can feel Sheng Changling's kindness to her, even though this kindness often makes her unhappy.

Sheng Changling lowered his head and looked at her expression carefully. Seeing that her eyebrows and eyes were still as clear as usual, he knew that she was not lying, and his heart finally settled down.

"Xi'er..."

He wrapped her up completely, buried his head in the woman's snow-white and fragrant neck, and hugged her intimately with a posture of complete possession.

There must be a reason why Sheng Changling was acting so abnormally today, and that was his thought...

Ultimately, I'm still a little uneasy.

He is afraid.

She was afraid that the current prosperity was only temporary, that one day Sheng Changfeng, her original wife, would come back and she would be sent to hell, and that Xier would easily change her mind and stop liking her one day.

Although Xier may not be 100% sincere to him now, he is more afraid of being abandoned.

The Queen Mother said so much, but one sentence was the most important, which was that Xier should be given some space so that she would not feel resentful towards herself.

"Nothing, I just thought I tired you out yesterday. I also went to the Cining Palace today, so I'm worried about your health."

"Your Majesty underestimated me. I am now much better."

Liu Lingxi finally felt relieved. It turned out that Sheng Changling was just worried about her health. That was fine.

Ever since she was injured during childbirth, Sheng Changling treated her like a delicate and fragile glass doll, so it was okay for her to be a little nervous.

However, thinking of the Queen Mother, she had one question she didn't understand.

Thinking of this, Liu Lingxi reached out and patted Sheng Changling on the back, signaling him to loosen up a little, as she had something to ask.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager brought my two sisters here not because she dislikes me. There was such a commotion at the gate of the Cining Palace today, but why didn't the Queen Mother send anyone out to check it out?"

"Oh, it's a little strange indeed."

Sheng Changling did not let go of Liu Lingxi, but he did loosen up a little. The two of them were still clinging to each other and chatting.

He didn't take those two people seriously, but the addition of a few more uncertainties in the harem inevitably made him feel restricted.

Sheng Changling didn't like this kind of uncertainty. Well, he had to think of a way to get rid of those two people as soon as possible.

Send the Queen Mother out of the palace as soon as possible and let his father take care of her, otherwise he will always feel uneasy.

Not to mention that Sheng Changling was confused by his mother's appearance, even Liu Lingxi didn't dare to make any random guesses.

"Could it be that the Queen Mother likes me?"

Apart from this, she really couldn't find another reason why Empress Dowager Rong would be so kind to her.

After all, the two sides have always kept to themselves, and today the empress dowager was obviously giving in to herself, no, to the emperor.

Sheng Changling couldn't tell Liu Lingxi that there was always a gap between him and his mother in his heart, so he could only gloss over it.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Just protect yourself."

"I'm just worried—"

"worry about what?"

Liu Lingxi didn't understand why, but her eyes, as clear as water, clearly reflected Sheng Changling's unparalleled handsomeness.

He was worried that this battle could not be won, and Xier—

Who will you choose?

Looking into the woman's beautiful and clear eyes, Sheng Changling smiled bitterly in his heart. He already had the answer.

Xier has walked so many paths, and her footsteps are destined not to stop for one person.

If he lost, many people would naturally emerge to take care of the queen on his behalf, but he would not allow that.

"I'm worried that Xi'er doesn't have me in her heart. Could you please leave me some space?"

Finally, Sheng Changling expressed his desire. He begged her, begging the goddess to give him a little mercy.

If someone had said before that Sheng Changling would lie at a woman's feet like a pug and beg for her love, Sheng Changling would definitely have sneered.

But now, he does.

Liu Lingxi looked back at him and nodded solemnly, but in fact, her heart was calm.

Her heart seemed to have stopped beating.

Jiangnan.

The army has been assembled, and all the soldiers are on full alert, waiting to march north.

Sheng Jin looked at his only son, with a hint of pride and a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Changfeng, we must win this battle, and we must do it safely. We must take back everything we have lost."

"Yes, Father."

The two looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

Afterwards, Sheng Changfeng no longer hesitated and immediately led his troops to set off.

Sheng Changfeng was riding a tall horse. He was wearing a suit of armor and looked majestic on the snow-white horse. Unlike his usual gentle demeanor, he had a more solemn and murderous air.

He looked towards the direction of the capital, and the feeling of longing in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if he had seen that person through many obstacles.

The man stood on the high city wall, dressed in red, with long hair fluttering in the wind, and greeted him with a sweet smile.

Xier, here I come.

Sheng Jin watched the army go away, then turned back to his tent and locked himself up alone.

His thoughts couldn't help but go back to January ago.

At that time, he had been imprisoned for a long time. It was a secret room, not in the palace, but more like a dungeon in the palace.

He was locked up in that dark place, unable to distinguish between day and night. Except for someone bringing him food and water from time to time, he felt isolated from the world.

In this situation, his thoughts grew wildly like water weeds. There was longing, nostalgia, and desire, but no resentment.

He could feel the poisonous insects in his body gradually calming down, and knowing that Xier's body had recovered, he was actually relieved.

Being locked up there, he repeatedly recalled every detail of his time with Xier, and regret welled up in his heart.

He regretted that he was too proud to lower himself, which caused Xier to distrust him.

After I got Xier, I never opened my heart to her. Xier was depressed during her pregnancy, which led to her weak body.

Fortunately, I got the poisonous insect and saved Xier from this life-or-death disaster, otherwise...

He also longed to see Xier again, and would be willing to die immediately.

But no one paid any attention to him. He was dying, in a daze, and living a life worse than a ghost.

His desire grew day by day, and seeing Xier became his obsession.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the light of day again.

It turned out to be Changfeng's secret guard. When he came to the capital to investigate, he met the secret guard who had just found him.

Changfeng was actually willing to save him.

After Sheng Jin arrived in Jiangnan, he quickly contacted his old subordinates and the forces in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, dispatched troops and prepared to send troops.

Although they did not say it explicitly, they reached a contract, which was to return to the capital and take back Xier. As for who would be the boss and who would be the subordinate, that depended on Xier's wishes.

It is unlikely that he or Changfeng will give up.

In this way, Sheng Jin began a new round of waiting.

*

The news of the battle between the two armies soon spread, and the harem also maintained a tacit understanding at this time and everyone calmed down.

The 100,000-strong army was unstoppable. The capital city of Sheng Changling had an unstable foundation and only had 60,000 troops, making it difficult to resist.

When Liu Lingxi learned the news that Sheng Changfeng was attacking the city, she was stunned for a long time until Sheng Changling called out to her several times.

"Your Majesty, please hand me over."

"No, I have prepared a boat for you to escape. Follow the waterway eastward and you will reach Four Seasons Island, where I have my men."

"how about you?"

At the moment of life and death, Liu Lingxi did not expect that this man would actually give her the only way to survive.
