Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

On a high platform to the side, "Chu Qi" watched this scene with displeasure and a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

This brat is far too mild-mannered. He clearly has feelings for Sang Hua too, but he insists on putting on a stubborn act, as if...

I have no idea what he's thinking.

However, given his temperament, it's really hard to trust him with Sang Hua's care.

"So you were here." Li Lang came over. "Master, I've been looking for you for ages."

He called out "Master," but the master did not respond.

The master was gazing downstairs, lost in thought, so I followed him out of curiosity, and what I saw immediately astonished me—

Those are Sang Hua and Xie Lin?!

He blurted out, "How could they be together? Sang Hua!—"

As he spoke, he was about to rush down to find Sang Hua.

With a casual wave of his hand, "Chuqi" and in the blink of an eye, he and Li Lang were in another place, with Sang Hua and Xie Lin nowhere to be seen.

"Master?" Li Lang exclaimed in alarm. "I just saw someone I know, and I'm very worried. Please, Master, help me get back. I need to go to..."

"Even if you go, what can you do?" Chu Qi said coldly, turning away to walk to the side.

Although he didn't particularly like Xie Lin's "mild" nature, he also disliked Li Lang's calculating nature. Besides, Xie Lin was someone Sang Hua had chosen herself, and since Sang Hua liked Xie Lin, he didn't want Li Lang to bother them.

“That’s Sang Hua, she’s the most important person to me…” Li Lang explained, bowing respectfully to the master. “Everything I asked you to do before was for Sang Hua. Please forgive me, but I must go back to find her.”

Having said that, he turned to leave.

More important at this moment than the "master" he had been searching for was Sang Hua.

He didn't know how Sang Hua ended up here, but witnessing Sang Hua and Xie Lin together made him particularly concerned. The image of the two embracing was imprinted in his mind, making him very uneasy.

I couldn't afford to discuss this matter with the master; I just wanted to find Sang Hua as soon as possible and get the answers...

What exactly happened?

When did Sang Hua and Xie Lin become so close...?

He had been busy with many things before, only keeping an eye on Xie Shu, and had not expected that Sang Hua and Xie Lin's relationship would progress so quickly.

them... ...

Could it be what he's thinking?!

“An important person.” Chu Qi chuckled, as if mocking the word “important” he used. “I always thought that what the Fourth Prince wanted most was the throne, but I never imagined… it was a person. Since this person is so important, how could you have given her away so easily? Weren’t you thinking of killing her in the Xie family so you could take control of them?”

“...No.” Li Lang denied it outright. Ever since he witnessed Sang Hua and Xie Lin together, his heart had been in turmoil. Now, in front of the master, he could no longer hide his true feelings. “Sang Hua has always been the most important person to me. I sent her to the Xie family in the hope of keeping her safe for the time being. Only by sending her away from the palace and away from the power struggle could I possibly protect her.”

After saying this, he saw that the master did not believe him.

Li Lang then confessed, "Master, the matter I entrusted to you before was for the purpose of reviving Sang Hua. I hope you will continue to keep it a secret for me and not let anyone know. I truly lack the ability to protect her now. If she stays by my side, she will be implicated and in danger. Therefore, this is the only way I can do. In the future... when I conquer the world and sit on the throne as the ruler of the land, I will naturally bring her back to my side. At that time, no one will be able to threaten her anymore..."

“What if it’s too late by then?” “Chuqi” said. “Not everyone will wait in the same place, waiting for you to sit on the throne of the world. You may think that it’s still not too late by then, but you don’t know that some people have already unknowingly drifted further and further away from you.”

Sang Hua couldn't just wait there forever.

and... ...

Li Lang's ambition is too great, and even Chu Qi could hardly predict how much sincerity he truly had for Sang Hua.

Yu Sanghua and Li Lang are definitely not a good match.

However, upon closer reflection, he became increasingly worried. None of the men around Sang Hua were trustworthy; each had their own stance and might not be able to wholeheartedly protect Sang Hua.

“But I… ……” Li Lang wanted to say something more.

"Fourth Prince," Chu Qi interrupted him, "If you could only choose between the throne and Huo Sanghua, what would you choose?"

"what?"

Li Lang was dealt a heavy blow; he could only choose between the throne and Sang Hua.

He had never considered this choice.

He had always believed that as long as he obtained the throne, he would naturally obtain Sang Hua.

The Emperor, wary of the Huo family's old power, feared his sons might be secretly plotting a rebellion, and therefore paid them extra attention. He dared not keep Sang Hua by his side because he knew that if he insisted on keeping her, it would be tantamount to declaring to his father...

He intended to win over the influence of the Huo family's former subordinates.

This was tantamount to revealing to his father that he intended to compete with his brothers for the throne.

In that case, not only would he be unable to protect himself, but he would also put Sang Hua in a very dangerous position. His father might not openly take action against him, but he would definitely eliminate Sang Hua, preventing the Huo family's old forces from consolidating their power.

It will no longer threaten the struggle for the throne.

Without the throne, Sanghua cannot be protected.

To obtain Sanghua, one must safeguard the throne.

But now he has to choose between the throne and Sanghua... ..."I want..."

“You don’t need to answer me right away. Go back and think it over.” “Chu Qi” said, “The throne or the one you love, you can only choose one. What do you want?”

"I... ..." What should he choose?

If Sang Hua were to die again, would he still have a way to resurrect her and bring her back to the time before her death...?

"When you came to me last time, you asked me to help you resurrect her. I told you that there was only one way: to turn back time to before she was murdered." "Chu Qi" looked calmly at Li Lang before him. He saw Li Lang's dilemma: unwilling to give up Sang Hua, yet unable to let go of his obsession with the throne. "However, I also told you then that once time is reversed, allowing everything to start over, some things will inevitably be changed. The resurrected person may not be as you wish."

In fact, things are really different now.

Sang Hua, carrying her memories, returned to the time when she first met Xie Lin.

She died in an accident in her previous life, and everything she heard and saw before her death was clearly etched in her mind.

She knew that Li Lang wanted to kill her.

Starting over, she naturally wouldn't trust Li Lang anymore.

This... this is the price Li Lang paid for asking him to help reverse time and revive Hawthorne.

Li Lang believed that as long as he could revive Hawthorne, he would have a chance to win her back. Little did he know that Hawthorne could never return to his side.

The only thing he could still hold onto was his obsession with the throne...

But this wasn't the first choice he had made.
