The forbidden love between a ghost and a villain

The grand wedding was held in the imperial palace, with drums and music playing and officials coming to congratulate.

The empress, dressed in a dragon robe, slowly entered the banquet hall, surrounded by a guard of honor. Her majestic gaze swept across the entire audience.

Everyone immediately knelt down and saluted, shouting "Long live the emperor!"

This naturally includes the Crown Princess and two concubines who are waiting in the bridal chamber.

Shen Meng wore a blue brocade wedding dress, a phoenix crown and a bridal robe.

She walked out of the bridal chamber with the help of her maid and knelt down with everyone else.

At this moment, she felt a burning gaze from the person below.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes met Li Chengze's, and her heart was suddenly filled with waves.

Li Chengze's eyes were filled with surprise, joy, and a hint of disbelief.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

Shen Meng quickly lowered her head to hide the complex emotions in her eyes, and followed everyone in paying respects to the empress.

"Everyone, get up."

The empress's voice was majestic and loud, with an unquestionable momentum.

Everyone stood up, and Shen Meng returned to her own yard with the help of her maid.

Today is the Crown Prince's wedding, so he will naturally go to the Crown Princess's courtyard and will not come to her.

Shen Meng dismissed her attendants, quickly changed out of her heavy wedding gown, and put on a nightgown.

Under the cover of night, she quietly sneaked into the palace where the banquet was held.

Halfway through the banquet, a group of black-clad assassins suddenly descended from the sky and headed straight for the empress.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The scene suddenly fell into chaos, with swords flashing and screams ringing in the ears.

Li Chengze picked up the fallen knife, stood in front of the empress, and fought a desperate battle with the assassin.

Shen Meng found the right moment, tapped her toes, and leaped.

Taking advantage of the gap between the assassin and the guards, he stabbed the empress with the sword in his hand!

In a flash, Li Chengze didn't even think about it.

He rushed forward and used his body to block the empress.

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, screams, and exclamations mixed together.

Li Chengze lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the tip of the sword that pierced his chest, and the blood dyed his vision red.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the man in black in front of him. Although he was masked,

But he was so familiar with those eyes! It was Shen Meng! How could it be her?!

Li Chengze's eyes went dark and he fainted.

Shen Meng was stunned, but as a killer, she made a choice immediately.

She suddenly drew out her sword and was about to stab the empress again.

At this time, Yun Zhiyi arrived in time with all the secret guards.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Come on!"

The companion grabbed Shen Meng and the two quickly disappeared into the night.

Before leaving, Shen Meng looked back at Li Chengze who was lying in the empress's arms.

"Chengze!"

The empress cried out in shock, and quickly hugged Li Chengze, who was lying in a pool of blood, and shouted anxiously:

"Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician!"

Li Chengze was taken back to the empress's bedroom.

The imperial doctors took turns treating him and finally saved his life.

Looking at Li Chengze's pale face, the empress felt mixed emotions.

Li Chengze's act of sacrificing himself to protect the emperor deeply shocked her and made her desire him even more.

On the other hand, Shen Meng returned to the Prince's Courtyard and stayed in bed for several days claiming to be sick.

During the prince's wedding, it was the time for her, the concubine, to serve him.

But she avoided the prince's favor on the grounds of poor health.

However, this was not a solution after all, she had to find a way to escape.

These days, Shen Meng has been asking about Li Chengze's news.

I heard that he was taken back to the palace by the empress and never came out again.

I feel mixed emotions and am anxious.

Looking back on those days in the thatched cottage, they were simple and beautiful.

She wanted to see him.

One day, in the dead of night, Shen Meng finally couldn't hold back her worries.

He changed into night clothes and sneaked into the empress's bedroom.

The lights in the bedroom were brightly on. The empress was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, while Li Chengze was lying on the bed in the bedroom.

Li Chengze's injuries were no longer serious, but the empress kept him by her side and placed him under house arrest in the palace.

These days, the empress has tried her best,

I wanted to get him, but he rejected me.

Hearing a slight noise, Li Chengze slowly opened his eyes.

I thought it was the Empress again, but when I saw who it was, I was overjoyed:

"Meng'er, is that you?"

He thought he was dreaming and grabbed Shen Meng's hand.

He turned over and pressed her under him, kissing her lips greedily.

Shen Meng was startled by Li Chengze's sudden enthusiasm, but she soon immersed herself in his passionate kiss.

She could feel Li Chengze's desire for her, a possessive desire that wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

Shen Meng put her arms around Li Chengze's neck and responded to his kiss.

She knew that after tonight, she would completely belong to this man.

The moonlight shines through the window lattice, casting a hazy halo.

It illuminated the two intertwined bodies, and also illuminated the firm and resolute look in Shen Meng's eyes.

After the passionate lovemaking, Shen Meng left the empress's bedroom before dawn.

As the sky brightened, Li Chengze woke up from his sleep.

He subconsciously reached out to feel the place beside him, but found nothing.

The bed is cold, how can I smell the warmth and fragrance of a beautiful woman?

He held his forehead and shook his head, thinking that he had just had a dream last night.

But when he saw the bright red on the bed sheet,

He knew that all this was not a dream.

Li Chengze stood up suddenly, his heart seemed to be tugged at by someone.

At this time, the voice of the empress came from outside the door.

"Chengze, are you awake?"

Li Chengze looked around in panic, grabbed the porcelain bowl containing medicine and threw it to the ground.

Fragments flew everywhere, and he cut his hand with them without hesitation, letting the blood drip onto the glaring red.

"Chengze!"

Hearing the noise inside the house, the empress hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

But seeing Li Chengze's hands covered in blood was shocking.

"Chengze, what's wrong? Why do you want to hurt yourself?" the empress asked with heartache.

Li Chengze let the blood drip from his fingertips, looked at the empress with a firm gaze, and said word by word:

"Your Majesty, I dare not lie.

I already have someone I love, so please let me go, Your Majesty."

"Pass on the royal doctor!"

The empress gave an order, her tone unable to conceal her anxiety and worry.

She walked quickly to Li Chengze and tried to check his injuries, but Li Chengze dodged her sideways.

The empress's hand froze in mid-air, and she felt bitter in her heart.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in her heart, and regained her composure.

"Okay, you can leave after you recover."

As the empress, she has had enough of this kind of cold reception.

Li Chengze was delighted when he heard this, and his tense body relaxed.

His eyes went dark and he passed out due to excessive blood loss.

"Chengze..."

In a coma, Li Chengze kept muttering a name intermittently:

"Shen Meng, Meng'er...Meng'er..."

The empress sat beside the bed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with concern.

I accidentally heard the name he murmured, and my heart ached.

'Shen Meng'? Why does this name sound so familiar?

"Yun Zhiyi," she called out, "Go check. I want to know who the 'Shen Meng' he's talking about is."

"Yes." Yun Zhiyi accepted the order and his figure quickly disappeared in the hall.
