The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Shijing tilted his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and even used his tongue to press against his back teeth, no longer showing the obsequiousness he had before.

Shen Shijing's face even showed a barely perceptible hint of anger.

"Father believes he can control everything, including human life. I am Father's son, how can I face death in peace?"

Shen Shijing's lips curled into a smile.

At this moment, the person whose swords those soldiers drew was none other than the emperor before them.

“Shen Shijing…you…”

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; Father has used this trick far too many times."

We are father and son, and by now, we must know exactly what our father is planning.

A-Yue's mother was chosen by heaven. She promised Consort Zhuang to help the Emperor. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager plotted against Consort Zhuang and A-Yue's mother, but they cultivated their power in the Luo family.

The Emperor knew that the Luo family and the Luo family also had a connection. He gave Consort Lin an opportunity, but also gave her hatred. Luo Cheng's entry into the Star Palace was also arranged by the Emperor. On the surface, he was controlled by Luo Cheng, but in fact, the Emperor never made a mistake in ruling personally.

A-Yue said that it was because Luo Cheng was afraid that people would see through him. In fact, if he said that his father was still sober, would anyone believe him?

The death of my mother was not caused by the Empress Dowager. Only my father knows who was behind it all.

Therefore, in the end, Shen Qinglan never ascended to the throne. In her father's eyes, there should be someone she supported.

A-Yue is already unconscious. If I am merely a pawn, then when the "Crown Prince" in Father's heart grows up, the curses cast upon me can also take my life.

Unfortunately, now that I know, Father Emperor need not live either.

"This entire world belongs to me, Shen Shijing. Do you still dare to plot to usurp the throne?"

The emperor looked quite confident.

"If you do this, let's see if you can still stand upright in the court."

"You're nothing but a traitor and rebel; don't even think about saving yourself."

Shen Shijing waved his hand, and the emperor suddenly felt pain all over his body and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Emperor looked at Shen Shijing in disbelief.

"You really dare..."

"Why don't I dare?"

"Does this mean that under heaven, only Father Emperor is allowed to scheme, but others are not?"

"Father, if you don't obediently abdicate, anyone I wish to support will surely die a horrible death!"

The emperor's face was grim, as if he couldn't believe it.

“Shen Shijing…you…”

"You truly are a fine son I raised."

Shen Shijing nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening in front of him.

The emperor's face darkened; it was too late for regrets now.

His expression gradually darkened.

"I truly regret keeping you. I knew you were shrewd and calculating, but I never imagined you could be so calculating."

The emperor's face turned extremely pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father, you have only one day left. Take care of yourself!"

After Shen Shijing finished speaking, he turned and left.

……

The upheaval in the palace today is what Shen Shijing has been waiting for.

He had already thought about getting married.

The Emperor would be scheming at this time, so Shen Shijing made his move. But Shen Shijing truly hoped that Jiang Xianyue would wake up today.

However, Shen Shijing never got to see it.

After returning, Shen Shijing went to Jiang Xianyue's bedside.

"Ah Yue, the Duan Dynasty has changed!"

His tone was full of helplessness.

"If I could, I wouldn't want this world either, but for our sake, we have to do it."

Shen Shijing held Jiang Xianyue's hand.

"I so wish you could wake up and really marry me tomorrow."

A tear fell, landing on the back of Jiang Xianyue's hand.

"If I had discovered his scheme against you sooner, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Shen Shijing regretted it; once he understood some things, it was too late to regret.

Shen Shijing placed Jiang Xianyue's hand on his face and rubbed it against hers.

"You won't stay asleep like this forever, will you? No matter what it takes, I will wake you up."

But tomorrow, I need to do something big.

Shen Qingge was standing at the door, and she heard what Shen Shijing said.

She ran in, quite surprised.

"Brother, have you really harmed Father?"

Shen Qingge looked at Shen Shijing in disbelief.

After everything that happened, and with dangers lurking around them, her brother was always the only person Shen Qingge trusted. As for that man, he was, after all, Shen Qingge's father, so it was understandable that Shen Qingge found it hard to accept him.

"Yes!"

Shen Shijing looked firmly at Shen Qingge.

"He plotted against us first, and against the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have died so young!"

Shen Qingge could hardly believe it.

Shen Shijing helped Shen Qingge up.

"I also thought that Father was being deceived, but only recently have I realized that we were the ones who were fooled. All the things we did were just to benefit Father."

"Perhaps if this continues, we'll all die."

Shen Shijing thought about these things and gave a bitter laugh.

"He harmed A-Yue because only A-Yue could foresee all of this, and only A-Yue could thwart his plans."

"But if he had told the truth from the beginning, I would have given up the position of crown prince rather than let him scheme against me like this."

Shen Shijing was furious when he talked about these things.

Shen Shijing's face was very ugly, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was about to be replaced by anger.

Shen Shijing's gaze fell on Shen Qingge's face.

"Qingge, can you understand your brother? Or do you want to go out and tell everyone what your brother did today? Your brother won't hurt you."

Shen Qingge has always been kind-hearted, and she finds it hard to accept such a conspiracy.

She clutched her skirt, unsure of what to say.

Born into the royal family, Shen Qingge has experienced many things, but she has never thought that the outside world is dangerous. After having Shen Shijing and Jiang Xianyue, she feels that only she can protect him in the future.

How could she face the fact that her respected father was a bad person?

How should I deal with the fact that my brother wants to kill our father?

Tears streamed down Shen Qingge's cheeks. Shen Shijing lowered his head, feeling it was too cruel to make Shen Qingge accept this.

"Brother, I believe you!"

My father never gave me any warmth; it was my brother who did. If it weren't for my brother, I would have died long ago.

So no matter what happens, I believe in my brother, and I will face it together with him.

Shen Qingge spoke with exceptional determination.

"Even if it's something my brother wants me to do, I'm willing to do it."

I also want Sister Xian Yue to wake up soon. Even if the three of us end up living together with nothing, it would be good.

Of course, whatever decision my brother makes, I believe in him!

With tears welling up in his eyes, Shen Shijing hugged Shen Qingge tightly in his arms.

"it is good!"

"Ah Yue will definitely wake up, we will wait for that day!"

After Shen Shijing finished speaking, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

Whatever the future holds, they are determined to face it together.

Of course, they weren't the only ones facing these challenges; their partners were too.
