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

After Shen Shijing finished speaking, he murmured with a dim gaze.

"How could A-Yue know that I hadn't thought about these things?"

She's no ordinary woman; I think much more, I just need time. The throne—I don't covet it, I simply hope it's given to the right person.

"Brother, did I do something wrong?"

Shen Qingge tugged at Shen Shijing's sleeve.

"I know my brother will be sad, but I am still afraid that he will let down Sister Xianyue for the sake of imperial power, and I don't want Sister Xianyue to waste her life."

But now, it seems my brother values ​​Sister Xian Yue more.

Shen Shijing spoke softly.

"If I asked you to give up being a princess and start a new life, would you be willing?"

"The status of a princess is not important to me. I'm even afraid that my brother will marry me off to someone I don't like in the future."

As a princess, I knew from a young age that who I married was probably not my decision. But…”

Shen Qingge's face darkened.

"But when I saw my brother and sister Xian Yue, I also had some thoughts that I shouldn't have had."

Shen Qingge bit her lower lip, hesitating to speak.

"I'll grant your wish, brother!"

Shen Shijing suddenly laughed, making Shen Qingge feel inexplicably flustered.

"Liang Feng, come in!"

Liang Feng came in, looking at Shen Shijing and Shen Qingge with a puzzled expression.

"Master, are you going to find Miss Jiang?"

"No need to trouble yourself. I will handle A-Yue's matter myself. I have more important things to entrust to you now."

Liang Feng immediately clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"I will do as my master arranges."

In fact, now that Shen Shijing has ascended the throne, the way he addresses people has long since changed. Only Liang Feng still calls him "Master," which is no different from before.

Liang Feng followed Shen Shijing every day, so how could he not know that Shen Shijing wasn't that obsessed with the throne? The reason he was in that position was simply because he was dissatisfied.

Calling someone "Your Majesty" is probably a heart-wrenching thing to say.

Liang Feng kept his head down.

"Qingge, isn't that him!"

Shen Qingge was stunned.

"Brother, what do you mean!"

Shen Qingge seemed to realize something, and immediately lowered her head, her face flushed. The girl couldn't help but feel nervous when someone guessed her thoughts.

When did it all begin?

It's been a long time.

Shen Qingge couldn't remember.

Shen Shijing used to be in poor health, but he still had to fight his way out for his siblings. The person Shen Shijing cared about most was his younger sister, Shen Qingge.

As Shen Shijing's close confidant, Liang Feng naturally helped Shen Shijing at all times.

Having met many times, Shen Qingge probably knows Liang Feng quite well.

Sometimes, when bringing things for Shen Shijing, she would also bring things for Liang Feng.

Although Shen Qingge was the master, the gift she gave to her brother's attendants was a very long sword.

Later, when Shen Qingge came to the capital, the two interacted even more.

Liang Feng was always the one who picked up and dropped off Shen Qingge, the one who reported that her brother was safe, and even the one who protected her.

This feeling of companionship left Shen Qingge feeling utterly confused.

The elder brother is the crown prince, while Liang Feng is just a guard. Even if he tells the emperor and the elder brother, there will be no result.

Shen Qingge suppressed these feelings, but envied Jiang Xianyue.

There were many people she envied, such as Zhao Xiuxiu and General Huo later on.

Zhao Xiuxiu's intentions were quite obvious.

After Huo Rujing emerges from the shadow of his wife's passing, he will likely accept Zhao Xiuxiu.

Shen Qingge watched every day, filled with nothing but envy.

I'm tired of saying the word "envy".

Today, her dream has actually come true.

"Brother, I didn't..."

"Shen Qingge, you only have this one chance. If I'm wrong, then it's all over. If you like it, then your brother has no objections."

The most dangerous time has passed, and he will not be in danger in the future.

Although their statuses are mismatched, who is more noble than the other?

Liang Feng was with me since I was a child; we have a deep bond, even deeper than with any of my brothers.

Liang Feng immediately knelt down.

"You flatter me, Master."

Shen Qingge bravely stepped forward.

"Does brother really mean what he said?"

Then, Shen Qingge walked towards Liang Feng.

"Guard Liang, I have always been fond of you, but I didn't know you..."

Liang Feng was slightly taken aback and lowered his head in shame. But when he remembered what Shen Shijing had said earlier, he knew that he only had one chance and that he should fight to the death, no matter what.

"My lord, I wish to ask to marry the princess, even if it costs me my life."

……

Jiang Xian Yue recovered from her injuries and indeed decided to travel.

The old man couldn't bear to part with it.

"You can stay here for the rest of your life, I can support you, why bother? The Duan Dynasty's political situation has just stabilized..."

"It is precisely because of the change of dynasties and the countless killings that I have something to do."

"Father, just wait for me to come back. What else can a sorcerer do if he doesn't go out and travel? Sitting at home won't improve his magic, you said it yourself!"

Jiang Xianyue patiently coaxed the old man, but the old man had no choice.

The old man thought to himself, "Shen Shijing is heartless. Jiang Xianyue left, and he's happily sitting on the throne, not even bothering to visit Wanggushan."

Was my daughter right? Was imperial power truly more important than feelings?

The old man didn't regret it at all; he even felt that Jiang Xianyue hadn't extricated herself in time, and that it wasn't worth getting hurt for a man like that.

However, there were always some things the old man couldn't get over.

Shen Shijing knew everything Jiang Xianyue was going to do.

If Shen Shijing hadn't made preparations beforehand, leaving behind a trace of Jiang Xianyue's spiritual energy and nourishing it with his own cultivation, Jiang Xianyue wouldn't have survived.

He seemed to have prepared for all of this long ago.

Moreover, Shen Shijing was aware that this matter would shorten his lifespan.

Shen Shijing doesn't seem like a cold-blooded and ruthless person at all.

……

Jiang Xianyue traveled for three months, and all was peaceful.

Actually, she had thought about the same things the old man was thinking.

She hadn't expected that Shen Shijing would leave so suddenly, without any prior notice, and that he wouldn't come to Wanggushan to bother her.

Could something have happened in the palace?

Jiang Xianyue thought to herself, upon hearing the rumors that the new emperor had passed away.

Jiang Xianyue's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Did I misunderstand something? Was leaving the right thing to do?

Shen Shijing did not come because his time was drawing near.

No way, I clearly resolved everything before coming back.

Everything is abnormal; there must be something Jiang Xian Yue doesn't know.

Jiang Xianyue's face was pale and her heart ached; she still loved Shen Shijing.

The description of the new emperor's death was so vivid that it didn't seem fake.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, Jiang Xianyue won't even glance at it; why bother?

She looked up, her eyes blurry with tears.

"Ah Yue, you're crying!"

The gentle voice rang out again, and Jiang Xianyue turned around abruptly, never expecting to see Shen Shijing again.

Shen Shijing was no longer dressed in fancy clothes, but in the simple attire of an ordinary person, a look he had never worn before.

It looks a little out of place with that once devilishly handsome face.

Shen Shijing stood there like a ray of light, shining into my heart.

"Ah Yue, don't cry. The Emperor has passed away, but it's not me who has died."

I just didn't want to deal with those annoying things anymore. Mission accomplished, now I can focus on pursuing you.

Shen Shijing strode over and embraced Jiang Xianyue.

"Qingge said she likes Liang Feng and is willing to give up her princess status. As you know, I love Qingge the most, so I have no choice but to give up being the emperor and pursue happiness with her."

A-Yue, you left so decisively, without even listening to a word of my explanation.

The palace is a place of intrigue and treachery, not a place for us to stay. I'd rather become a sorcerer and travel with you.

"But my magic is not skillful enough, and my cultivation is insufficient. I may need you to take care of me in the future."

Jiang Xianyue burst into laughter through her tears and embraced Shen Shijing.

"It's alright, I have plenty of money, I'll make sure you live a life of luxury!"
