After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

This shouldn't be happening; he should be completely devoted to her!

"Lu Jiangnian, you like me, don't get it wrong, you really do like me. You'll regret treating me like this!"

She kept repeating the same few sentences, and Lu Jiangnian had no patience left. The tip of his sword was pressed against her cheek again. "Tell me, how can I remove the curse?"

Liang Yusong was genuinely a little afraid of him.

That person's expression is so ferocious!

The pain in her left cheek continued to torment her. If she didn't say anything, would Lu Jiangnian really cut a wound on her right cheek as well?

Feeling the pain of a sharp weapon piercing her skin, Liang Yusong dared not hesitate: "I'll talk, I'll talk."

Lu Jiangnian waited quietly for her to speak, but Liang Yusong deliberately activated the Gu worms, trying to bewitch Lu Jiangnian's mind.

What awaited her was Lu Jiangnian's merciless sword.

He actually scratched her right cheek.

it hurts!

it hurts!

She was a pampered young lady who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth; even a prick from a needle would hurt her.

I was actually hurt like this by Lu Jiangnian today!

Liang Yusong cried, cried from pain, cried sadly.

"You're so cruel..."

She cried so hard her face was streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

Tears mixed with blood made her look like a flower that had been ravaged, a kind of broken beauty.

Unfortunately, in Lu Jiangnian's eyes, all he saw was a repulsive face.

He sneered, "Aren't you ruthless?"

"Crown Prince, my father, and me,"

Lu Jiangnian's eyes held a deep-seated hatred, which, though calm, could plunge a person into an abyss.

"Liang Yusong, don't test my patience. I can give you three thousand cuts and still let you breathe."

"If you want to try, I'd be happy to oblige."

With that, he placed the sword on her face again: "First, slash this disgusting face with dozens of wounds, and it will look much better."

Liang Yusong's tears were all frightened away.

madman!

He's a complete madman!

"I said, I said, please stop paddling."

She was genuinely scared.

She didn't want to be disfigured.

This was the first time Liang Yusong had witnessed how terrifying Lu Jiangnian was.

She originally wanted to hide the truth and say some ambiguous things to mislead Lu Jiangnian, but he always managed to accurately detect the lies in her words.

When her face had been slashed seven or eight times, she finally became completely obedient.

This person is a madman!

She wants to live, to take revenge!

During her time away from home, she never stopped writing letters to the capital. If her family didn't receive her letters, they would definitely notice something was wrong.

Alternatively, Lu Jiangnian could ask her to write a letter as usual, so she could secretly pass on the news of her imprisonment and have her aunt and cousin send someone to rescue her.

The idea was wonderful, but unfortunately, Lu Jiangnian didn't need her at all.

Because, over the years, every letter she sent to the capital had been opened and read by Lu Jiangnian.

Lu Jiangnian had already thoroughly figured out the tone and handwriting in the text.

In fact, Liang Yusong's later letters were never sent.

People in the capital thought they were sightseeing in a small town in Jiangnan.

Thus, with the information provided by Liang Yusong, Lu Jiangnian successfully located the Gu Sect and met Ling Lanyue.

Upon their first meeting, he noticed that Ling Lanyue looked remarkably like Yuan Wanru.

Liang Yusong has also made things clear about Yuan Wanru's affair.

It was all their scheme to frame us.

Lu Jiangnian did not hide anything and told Ling Lanyue everything, asking her to remove the curse.

Ling Lanyue never imagined that her only daughter would die such a tragic death.

The Liang family is certainly the culprit, but is the Lu family innocent?

However, the Lu family still owes Yuan Wanru a debt of gratitude for raising her.

She also had to avenge Yuan Wanru. So, Ling Lanyue made a deal with Lu Jiangnian: she could help Murong Chi and Lu Song get rid of the curse, but after that, Lu Jiangnian would have to return to the Southern Frontier and stay there for the rest of his life, working like a slave.

As for the Gu poison on his body, Ling Lanyue didn't say whether or not it needed to be removed.

Lu Jiangnian agreed without any hesitation.

Ling Lanyue could not leave the Southern Frontier, so she sent Aran back to the capital with Lu Jiangnian.

When Lu Jiangnian left the capital with Liang Yusong, it was still springtime; when they returned, it was almost the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Murong Chi was not idle either.

He hides behind the scenes, stirring up trouble, and now the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince are all in a terrible predicament.

The emperor was furious.

They're all troublemakers. Today it's this one embroiled in scandal, charged with corruption and bribery; tomorrow it's a relative of the prince, running rampant and killing someone...

In short, the Emperor has been exhausted from dealing with these matters for the past few months.

Lu Jiangnian secretly captured Lu Song outside the city and forcibly removed the curse from him.

Murong Chi also sneaked out and successfully removed the Gu poison from his body.

As Lu Song listened to Lu Jiangnian recount the whole story, his heart ached terribly. He couldn't imagine how utterly despicable Lu Jiangnian must have been during this time!

However, it was all too late. Wang Min died of grief on Lu Jiangnian's way back to Beijing.

Her health had long since deteriorated.

Despite Murong Chi's secret care, nothing could save Wang Min; her heart was broken, and even the best medicine could not revive her.

Murong Chi has seen through it all now.

The emperor would not be so merciful as to help him clear his name; he could only obtain what he wanted through his own efforts.

He couldn't wait any longer; he wanted revenge.

Murong Chi did not actively force Murong Xiao to abdicate; he merely subtly induced Murong Xiao to have such thoughts, and then leaked the information to the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince, ultimately becoming the one who reaped the benefits.

A palace coup engulfed almost all the adult princes.

During this process, the Fifth Prince died, the Third Prince broke his leg, and the Second Prince also suffered a terrible fate, being slashed in the back and seriously injured.

The emperor was also accidentally injured; a stray arrow pierced his heart, and his life was in danger.

At this critical moment, Murong Chi emerged out of nowhere and cleaned up the mess.

The emperor issued an edict, re-establishing him as the crown prince.

Soon after, the Emperor passed away, and after Murong Chi ascended the throne, he exposed the conspiracy of Consort Liang and Gao Peng to the public.

Everything has cleared up after the storm.

Unfortunately, the dead can never be brought back to life.

Murong Chi, who was already the emperor, personally saw Lu Jiangnian off as he left the capital.

Both of them knew that this parting would be their last in their lifetime.

Murong Chi hugged Lu Jiangnian tightly: "Take care, thank you."

If it weren't for Lu Jiangnian, he would probably have been murdered in a muddle.

He will remember this kindness forever.

The Lu family will only get better and better.

Lu Jiangnian smiled faintly: "Take care, Your Majesty. You must make the Great Jing Dynasty better and better."

Murong Chi answered firmly, "Yes."

Life is unpredictable, and gatherings and separations are uncertain.

Wandering white clouds, across mountains and rivers, all I can say is: Take care.
