Xia Ling couldn't see anything. She only felt a warmth on the back of her hand. It was hot blood.
"Little Royal Grandson! " Ming Cui screamed.
Xia Ling: "Let go of me! "
Her vision was as black as suffocation.
Jin Luo slowly let go of her hand.
Xu Changrong, she was his. No matter what, she was his!
Jin Ye was dead.
King Lu's long sword had pierced through his body.
He didn't have to die. It was Ming Cui who returned to the crown prince's residence. The crown prince's residence was under martial law and only Jin Ye was the master.
He followed her here.
[ mission failed... ]
A beep sounded in Xia Ling's mind.
Xia Ling took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
Wasn't she letting them off too easily.
She could kill herself too, but weren't these fragments too presumptuous?
The entire world began to crumble above Xia Ling's head.
Xia Ling: "Hai Hai, activate the [ time machine ] . "
She didn't want this to happen, so she exchanged for the [ time machine ] . Very well, she still had a chance to do it all over again.
[ time machine ] has been successfully activated. Host, please select the rebirth node."
Hai Hai's voice rang out.
Xia Ling had saved a node previously, which was the day of the banquet.
Later on, her life was very smooth, and she forgot to save it a few more times.
Xia Ling had no choice but to return to the banquet.
The frozen scene suddenly moved. Xia Ling was wearing the crown princess'luxurious clothes and sitting below Empress Li.
"This lychee meat is very good. Long face, have a taste, " Jin Jue said gently.
Xia Ling looked at the dish in front of her.
She picked up a chopstick, but she took in the expressions of everyone at the banquet.
Jin Luo, King Wei, King Lu... ...
The three princes seemed to be at odds, but who knew that the three of them had secretly formed an alliance.
If Jin Jue survived, they would lose the chance to reach the peak of power.
Therefore, under Jin Luo's persuasion, the three people who seemed to be fighting to the death were already on the same side.
The Day Xia Ling went to the banquet of Consort Lu was the day Jin Jue, King Lu, and King Bai started their uprising.
They surrounded the Imperial Palace and wanted to force Jin jue to death.
Jin Jue could have survived, but Jin Luo took Xia Ling as a hostage and forced Jin jue out.
Jin Jue was well-prepared, and Jin Luo and the other two came prepared.
In the end, Jin jue drank the poisoned wine.
...
Receiving memories was different from experiencing it personally.
Looking at Jin Luo's handsome and cold face, Xia Ling's eyes turned colder.
This time, Xia Ling didn't give Jin Luo a chance to get close.
When Jin jue proposed to walk back to the palace, Xia Ling declined tactfully and directly followed Jin Jue back to the East Palace.
At night, Xia Ling slept with Jin Jue.
Jin Luo's people were definitely by their side.
Therefore, when Xia Ling saw Jin Luo in the peach blossom forest the next day, Jin Luo's eyes were bloodshot and terrifying.
This time, Jin Luo appeared at the peach blossom banquet. His gaze was both loving and painful as he stared at Xia Ling.
Xia Ling did not even look at him.
She asked for a secret guard from Jin Jue's side. After returning to the capital, she made a trip back to the High Duke Xu's residence.
High Duke Xu was born as a martial general. After so many years, his prestige in the capital's army was still there.
The old state Duke was already in his early fifties, and his sideburns were white. He had long since left things be.
However, Xia Ling could only choose to rely on her own family and the capital's city Defense Army.
When Jin Luo and the others launched the palace coup, the imperial army in the palace had already been controlled by the private soldiers brought back by the vassal king.
Each vassal king could bring two thousand private soldiers back to the capital, but no one had expected that the three vassal kings could actually work together.
Six thousand elite soldiers, when the capital's guards were completely unprepared, were enough to take down this towering and tall city.
...
State Duke Xu's public house was in charge of the city guards.
Xia Ling gave her instructions.
Following that was Jin Jue.
Xia Ling blew the pillow wind a few times and arranged Jin Luo. She said that Jin Luo had said something strange to her earlier, as if he wanted to do something.
Jin Jue's favorable impression of Xia Ling had already reached 100 on the night she slept with him.
Jin Jue loved this beautiful and tenacious girl from the bottom of his heart.
He also discovered that this girl had really let go of Jin Luo and wanted to live a good life with him.
Therefore, Jin Jue listened to Xia Ling's words.
He was the crown prince of a country and had been a regent since an early age. He did not lack tacticians and spies.
Things were not as simple as Xia Ling had seen. The only person who could hide from Jin Jue and make him unable to detect any news was the one above Jin Jue.
On the Crown Prince's wedding day, King Qing, a vassal king, actually found an opportunity to make a move. This was originally an emperor's scheme... ...
Emperor Jin Yan was old.
When he was young, this world was his.
But now that the crown prince was supporting the country, many courtiers had to make a trip to the crown prince's residence before submitting a petition.
Emperor Jin Yan was like a toothless and irritable tiger, secretly taking pills and seeking a way to live forever. He didn't trust any of his sons.
If Jin Luo and the others made a move, didn't Emperor Jin Yan also want to seize the opportunity to Cripple Jin Jue?
When Jin Jue heard Xia Ling's words, he became suspicious.
This time, Jin Jue moved.
When Jin Luo and the two kings launched a palace coup, Jin jue had already planted spies in King Lu's residence. The family members of the crown prince's subordinates and aides were all rescued.
King Lu and Jin Luo were controlled. King Wei was killed in the palace by Jin Jue in the name of a clean monarch.
Emperor Yan "took the initiative" to give the throne to Jin Jue.
Things changed just like that.
Jin Jue became the new emperor, and Xia Ling had no doubt secured the position of empress.
[ Jin Jue: Status Emperor, favorability toward host 100 / 100, Target 1 / 3]
[ Jin Luo: status rebel, favorability toward host 90 / 100, target 2 / 3]
[ Jin Ye: Status Crown Prince, favorability toward host 20 / 100, target 3 / 3]
In this life, Xia Ling was inspired by Jin Ye's feelings and doted on this proud crown prince.
No matter what he did, as long as he did not have any problems in matters of right and wrong, Xia Ling would always spoil him.
Jin Ye was a little Brat who lacked love.
Because he was a JI yuan fragment, he had a favorable impression of Xia Ling that he could not resist.
In order to break through his defenses, Xia Ling deliberately got injured in the battle of the palace rebellion to protect him.
Jin Ye let down his guard and his favorability towards Xia Ling soared, quickly reaching 90.
*
A palace coup.
King Wei, King Lu, and Jin Luo were all prisoners.
The winner takes all. Even if Jin Jue's personality was too good, getting rid of the root of the problem was something every emperor would do.
Xia Ling could not let Jin Luo die.
She held the secret guards in her hands, which was the Authority Jin Jue gave her.
Men were all very narrow-minded. There were some things that were useless to her on the surface.
Xia Ling planned in secret.
On the day the three vassal kings were beheaded, a group of criminals kidnapped them and took them away.
King Wei and King Lu were killed by Jin Jue's pursuers while they were escaping.
As for White King Jin Luo, he was chased by the pursuers and fell into the water. His body was not found.
...
In this life, Xia Ling never saw Jin Luo again.
There were some things that even a lover could not forgive after experiencing it personally.
Xia Ling loved Jin Jue.
She became his empress and joined hands with him.
In this life, Xia Ling's biggest secret to Jin jue was probably to find someone to kidnap Jin Luo and let him live.
Jin Jue might know, or he might not.
None of this mattered.
Jin Jue was a person who knew how to treasure. With a loved one, even if all the civil and military officials in the imperial court threatened him with their lives, hoping that Jin Jue would recruit female talents and fill his Harem, Jin Jue would still turn a blind eye to it.
Ever since Jin Jue's favorability toward Xia Ling reached 100, it had never fallen back.
Xia Ling and Jin Jue did not have another child in this life. Jin Ye was their only heir.
As for Jin Ye, he secretly fell in love with his stepmother after he grew up. This was a secret that he never dared to say out loud.
He used his identity as a son to guard them and watch them love and be happy.
Although he would be heartbroken in no one's place, but... ...
Being able to see and protect them was already very happy.
In order to confuse everyone, Jin Ye's palace did not lack women.
He had a special drug that could make women infatuated and mistakenly think that they had sex with him.
In this life, Jin Ye had no children.
He picked a newborn child from the collateral line and pretended to be the son of the crown prince's concubine. He did things very discreetly, and even Jin Jue and Xia Ling were deceived by him.
After Jin Ye became an adult, Xia Ling could no longer stand the feeling of being watched by two men at the same time.
...
She raised him, and he was her son.
Status did not limit feelings. Jin Ye's eyes grew warmer and warmer, and his affection for her was also 100.
This was destined, and she wanted to bring his fragments back.
However, this was also against the grain.
Xia Ling was really afraid that something would happen if she stayed in her palace for too long. When Jin Ye could take charge of his own affairs, she persuaded Jin Jue to pass the throne to Jin Ye, and the two of them traveled around together.
Jin Jue did not cling to power.
The two of them left as they wished. They could not stay in the capital for more than a few days a year.
The Jin Dynasty was beautiful. Xia Ling and Jin Ye were tired of traveling. Therefore, they settled down in Suzhou and became wealthy merchants.
Master Jin and Madam Jin, this way of addressing each other was very good. It sounded like they were in love.
Jin Jue was bored and decided to open a private school. Xia Ling became the wife of the chief of the mountain and followed Jin Jue as husband and wife.
This life was very long.
Jin Jue and Xia Ling grew old together. Jin Jue left in front of Xia Ling.
After sending him off, Xia Ling hired a horse carriage and arrived at Youzhou province.
Youzhou province was in the north of Jin Kingdom. It was the most barren land in the north.
Jin Luo was saved by Xia Ling. After that, he was arranged to go to Youzhou province so that he could live a peaceful and ordinary life.
The people around him were all Xia Ling's secret affairs. They would talk about Xia Ling's good fortune and happiness from time to time. They also talked about how Xia Ling almost lost her favor in the palace because they let him go.
Jin Luo was a stubborn person.
He liked Xia ling. He liked this woman all his life.
He had given up on her for the sake of power. However, because of her, he had made a plan in advance and ruined his long-lasting achievements.
However, in Youzhou province, Xia Ling was the only hope in his heart.
He hated her and loved her. In the end, all his obsession turned into missing her.
Separated by thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains, Jin Luo lived like an ordinary person. However, he stopped to look at the rising sun and the clear moon.
The only connection between him and that person in this world was the sun and the moon above their heads.
They lived in the same country, bathing in the same morning sun and admiring the same clear moon.
As long as he knew that she was good, what else wasn't enough for him?
After arriving at Youzhou province, Jin Luo started to dream.
In the dream, he ascended the throne and killed Jin Jue and Jin Ye. However, when Jin Jue died in front of a woman, the woman went crazy.
She crashed into his sword and let his sword pass through her body, saying that she hated him.
From then on, he sat alone in the position of the supreme of Jiuwu. He lived like a wandering soul and suffered regret and loneliness for the rest of his life.
...
After dreaming for a long time, Jin Luo understood that this was not a dream. This was probably his previous life?
He probably lived this life to atone for his sins.
He had let her down. When she loved him, he had betrayed everything she had, destroyed her happiness when she had everything.
And now..
He lived in this world alone to protect a sense of guilt and loneliness.
Xu Changrong... ...
He thought that he had given up on her for the position of honor, but in the end, he was wrong. He could not let go of her. She was all he had.
He thought that by cutting off everything she had, he would be able to regain his supreme power. In the end, he was wrong again.
To her, the best thing to like was not to plunder, but to fulfill it, right?
Unfortunately, in Jin Luo's life, the last thing he would do was to let go and fulfill it.
