Cheng Shaoshang had already anticipated the scene in front of him, but seeing it with his own eyes would still make him unbelievable. Although Ling Buyi had a paranoid personality, he still considered the feelings of others.Now that Huo Junhua's death has completely released the long-suppressed desire for revenge in Ling Bujie's heart.Although Cheng Shaoshang thought that Ling Buyi would take action, he still failed to stop him, causing the matter to become irreversible.
Because of the massacre of the Manchus, Ling Buyi had to take revenge. The reason why he chose to do this before the wedding was because he did not want to implicate the entire Cheng family.There was no way out from today's move. Ling Buyi was ready to die, so he made a vow that he and Cheng Shaoshang would never see each other again.
As soon as he finished speaking, General Zuo came quickly to capture Ling Buyi. Soldiers surrounded him outside the door. Even Xiao Yuanyi, Cheng Shi and others fell into General Zuo's hands.Ling Buyi walked out alone, and a sharp arrow shot at him like a thunderbolt. The Liang brothers took the opportunity to knock over General Zuo. Cheng Shaoshang rode up, picked up Ling Buyi and drove away.
But even so, Cheng Shaoshang still reached a dead end, with a cliff in front of him and soldiers in hot pursuit behind him.Cheng Shaoshang was willing to live and die with Ling Buyi, but how could he know that Ling Buyi's expression suddenly changed at this moment. The previous sorrow, grief, reluctance, and all kinds of tenderness had all disappeared, replaced by a desperate farewell.
By the time Cheng Shaoshang came to his senses, Ling Buyi had already fallen into the cliff, and before he passed out, he could vaguely see the vines clinging to the cliff.Fortunately, Cheng Shaoshang was fine for the time being, but it was just caused by excessive grief. The third prince suddenly brought people to the Cheng Mansion, asking Cheng Shaoshang to accompany him to the palace to plead with Ling Buyi.
Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shi's couple came forward to stop them, and the two sides were in a stalemate until Cheng Shaoshang gradually woke up.The scene last night flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. The appearance of the third prince meant that Ling Buyi was not dead yet. After careful consideration, she finally decided to enter the palace to face the saint. If she could not save Ling Buyi, she would be willing to sacrifice her life.
On the way to the palace, Cheng Shaoshang learned through the third prince that he and Ling Buyi had known each other since childhood, and their relationship was far better than that of the prince.Including the last time at Yanhui Tower, when Cheng Shaoshang first heard the sounds of two people conspiring upstairs, he really thought there were only two people. In fact, there was Ling Buyi who didn't speak during the whole process.Later, Cheng Shaoshang knew this secret because he was taking care of Ling Buyi some time ago and found that the other party was wearing half of his lost jade pendant around his neck.
In fact, Cheng Shaoshang didn't care about the choice of the crown prince. After all, the common people were innocent and pitiful. Only a wise king could rule the world.The key is that Cheng Shaoshang no longer dares to trust Ling Buyi. Such a person who is both upright and sinister, brave and thoughtful will only make her feel more and more strange. In the past, Ling Buyi could save herself at all costs, but now he can't.Able to abandon without hesitation.
The third prince thought that Cheng Shaoshang was too calm and did not look like a girl who loved Ling Buyi deeply, so he scolded her for not understanding what it means to live and die together, and what it means to care and be chaotic.Cheng Shaoshang refuted the third prince, mocking himself as a girl who has no independent personality and is often criticized morally by the world. She was clearly deceived and kept in the dark, yet she still had no regrets.After saying these words, the third prince no longer acted aggressively and his attitude towards her also changed.
Now, eighteen important ministers have joined forces to impeach Ling Buyi and implore Emperor Wen to deal with Ling Buyi and uphold the law of the country.Cui You, who was supposed to be recuperating at home, learned about this and immediately went to the palace to intercede for him. However, patricide is a serious crime. Even if Yuan Shen and others wanted to defend it, they could not find any excuse. The two factions of courtiers insisted on their own opinions.There was no leisure until the afternoon.
When the chamberlain summoned Cheng Shaoshang and the third prince into the palace, Cheng Shaoshang had already regained his composure and noticed that Emperor Wen was thinking about his old relationship with Ling Buyi, so he simply disclosed that Ling Buyi was not Ling Yi's son.This statement caused an uproar among the people. Mr. Zuo was the first to question it, thinking that it was Cheng Shaoshang's one-sided statement and not enough to win trust.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Cheng Shaoshang described in detail the birthmark on Ling Buyi's waist, and only people close to him, including Emperor Wen, knew about this matter.Emperor Wen was very excited when he heard this, and quickly ordered people to go to the cliff to rescue Ling Buyi. Lord Zuo and the others wanted to continue to pursue the case, but under the shock of Emperor Wen, all the officials fell silent.
After coming out of the palace, the third prince slowed down his pace. When he saw Cheng Shaoshang coming to his side, he expressed his gratitude to her.Cheng Shaoshang nodded, and then talked about what happened last night. When General Zuo was chasing Ling Buyi, he didn't leave any way for Ling Buyi to survive. If Ling Buyi hadn't jumped off the cliff in a hurry, General Zuo might have treated Ling Buyi.Su Yi killed him, so he told the third prince to be careful of General Zuo when looking for Ling Buyi.On the other side, Ling Busuo used Shaoshang Rope to hang himself on the cliff. Although he did not fall off the cliff, he could not escape the cold weather, and his strength gradually ran out.
