Shining.

Her hair glistened in the scattering sun.

His eyes were shining.

It made people want to touch it.

"The Pingxun rebellion?"

Ling Tian Qing vaguely remembered that someone had said this to Ling Jin that night when he was preparing to accept the debt of gratitude.

"This is a secret military intelligence. I didn't expect that little sister Xiaoxiao would know about it." However, I advise you not to spout nonsense. Wen Han reminded the young girl coldly.

"Ah …" This place is really... There is no freedom of speech. "

The girl complained before adjusting her posture and looking at Wen Han. "Can …" Do you want to help me again? "

Wen Han remained silent. Holding the cup of tea, he slowly brought it to his lips.

The reason why he was so confident about talking to "Su Xiaoxiao" was because he was certain that no one nearby could monitor them.

"I want to go out, I want to... Find a chance to escape. " Seeing that he did not say anything, Ling Qing continued to probe, "You don't want Ling Xue to die either, right? Since your dream is like a prophecy... Perhaps, I can prevent all of this from happening, but as long as you can help me escape the palace and go to Ling Xue's side … "

"In three days." Wen Han put down his teacup and his lips moved slightly.

"Three days later?" Ling Tianqing's heart thumped wildly as she looked excitedly at the beautiful man standing before him, as though he was carved from ice and snow.

He meant, after three days, would he be able to escape with her?

"However, you have to bear the consequences of failure." Wen Han said lightly.

He was certain that the girl before him was not crazy.

Her manner and words revealed a brilliance the world could not comprehend.

Was this the phoenix body that the heavens had given to Ling Xin?

"I believe you, and you believe me, don't you?" Ling Tian Qing suddenly asked with a bright smile.

Wen Han remained silent.

Although she wasn't as beautiful as a beauty that could topple empires, her smile was unique.

A young girl who could eat the Scarlet Beauty Pill, suffer the destruction of everything, and even laugh so brilliantly in such a pure manner had her own magic.

It was no wonder that Ling Zui began to change his plan to take over her heart.

If it was before, with Ling Xiang's unyielding character, he would definitely make her suffer a lot before being eaten alive. He would make her lose all sense of self and become a tool for him to use on his bed.

Don't ask Wen Han how he knew all this. If the oldest duke of the Fourth Marquis didn't have any tricks up his sleeve, how could he have survived until now?

"We are... Allies, right? " Ling Qing was still persistently asking for confirmation.

Even though she knew that these people were the leaders, she didn't care about a small promise.

However, she cared a lot.

In this world, she had nothing. If someone was willing to give her a small promise, she would seriously hold onto it.

Just like Ling Xue, who promised that she would definitely come back to pick her up and leave …

Wen Han remained silent, but he stretched out his long pale hand towards her.

Ling Tian Qing stretched out his hands and held his hands tightly.

"But you, have to be honest with me." When Wen Han saw her resolute action, he was even more certain that she was not Su Xiaoxiao.

Nor was it a woman who received a unified education in the heavens.

She was the Heavenly Phoenix. It was just that its wings had been burnt and it was unable to fly.

He would make her fly back up...

Wen Han once again had that dream.

In front of him, Ling Xue continued drinking one cup after another without stopping. Not long after, there was a faint drunkenness in his eyes.

And he, the cold and detached man, held down the wine jug in Ling Xue's hand.

"Greed harms my body." Wen Han said lightly.

Ling Xue pursed his lips, and suddenly threw the wine pot in his hands towards the crowd. His pretty face was filled with sadness.

"It's because I couldn't stop it, it's because I couldn't stop it …" "Stand in the back." His voice was like ice water, calm and cold.

"It has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame them … "She has the body of a phoenix …" Ling Xue raised a hand to support her forehead, closed her eyes, and said painfully, "Why would the king give me this phoenix body?"

"Ling Xue... Do you want to go back to her? " Wen Han suddenly asked.

Ling Xue shook his head and said mournfully, "Why don't we go back …"

"That depends on whether you want it or not." Wen Han walked over to the zither and drew a line on it, producing a crisp sound.

"What do you mean?" Ling Xue raised his head, looking at the cold back that had his back towards her.

"Follow General Ling Yao's example." Wen Han asked as he stood beside the zither and lightly fiddled with the strings.

"Ling Yao?" Ling Xue's expression changed slightly, and she immediately said, "Wen Han, don't speak carelessly, be careful not to spread it into the ears of the King."

"When General Ling Yao was fighting for his country on the battlefield, he raised his head and went to fight with his life, but the King summoned his fiancee into the palace and established her as his consort. When Ling Yao returned, he found out about this along the way and stormed into the imperial city …"

"Shut up." Ling Xue suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

Wen Han's lips formed a cold smile as he continued, "Ling Yao destroyed the city, took back his beloved woman, and became the king … "As for you, you have my accomplices, as well as Qi Huan …"

"Wen Han, do you want to die?!" Ling Xue's voice also became cold and sharp. "Xiaoxiao being crowned as the queen is completely different from Ling Yao's business. If she wasn't a phoenix, your Majesty …"

Wen Han woke up once more.

It was just a dream.

Ever since he knew that Ling Xi had placed great importance on the Phoenix Body, Wen Han had often dreamt of Ling Jin meeting again. When Ling Xue returned with his troops, he discovered that his lover had been snatched away …

But a dream is still a dream.

Wen Han knew that if he couldn't take the girl with him, this dream would come true.

He did not mind things becoming complicated. There were many things in this world that could not be allowed to go as planned.

When he woke up, the first thing that came to his mind was the light — the light in the girl's hair, eyes, and smile.

He wanted to touch the diamond light that could not be cut down.

He sat up and looked at the cold palace, withdrawing his thoughts. He thought of the time when he had played chess with Master Qing Xu, he once talked about the red sheep tribulation, the red horse.

This year is the red horse, next year is the red sheep.

The incident at the general's estate earlier in the year caused General Su to lead 200,000 soldiers, buried 160,000 alive. 40,000 soldiers had broken through the encirclement, and half of them had been killed or injured.

He originally thought that there would be chaos and calamity in the imperial court, but Ling Xiang actually found the Phoenix Body. Although Ling Xue was trapped in the battlefield, it was constantly reported that the weather in the imperial court was about to change.

It was already past spring, almost summer. Aside from the fierce battle at the border, there didn't seem to be many other Bane appeared.

He had waited for so long. He had thought that during the year of the red sheep, he would be able to seize control of the situation, but who would have thought that his phoenix body would appear!

Phoenix Body... He wanted it!

This mountain and river belonged to him from the start!

Red Sheep on a Red Horse …

As far as the heavens were concerned, in the previous dynasty, it was a peaceful and prosperous era that hadn't been seen in a hundred years.

However, the previous king had suddenly passed away and the dukes all around had made a move. It seemed that it would be difficult for Ling Xiang to continue the balance of the world since he was the young Son of Heaven.

Extreme power is bound to decline. This is the law.

Ling Jin did not know if he was lucky or not, but after inheriting such an unprecedented powerful empire, he also faced tremendous pressure.

Due to his desire for pleasure, the officials began to enjoy a life of erosion in a comfortable environment, while the surrounding kingdoms all eyed the fertile ground beneath their feet.

Ling Zhe had to inject more fresh blood into the heavens, so that the strong would become stronger, rather than decline.

The red sheep and red horse were destined to meet a calamity, and history had witnessed these words again and again, and Ling Zui was especially worried.

Ling Xin had to find a 'good omen' and an opportunity to turn the situation around to break through this trap.

Perhaps this woman of unknown origins, chosen by the phoenix, is the lucky star of the rivers and mountains.

Although it had only been a day.

Ling Tian Qing still felt that he was living a life of his own.

She kept imagining how she would be able to hold her head up and down the moment she left Tyrant …

And Ling Xue, could she see him on the battlefield?

Ling Jin had been very busy these past two days. Firstly, it was because the empress dowager's birthday was coming up, and secondly, the selection for the Imperial examinations had begun. He was preparing to change his blood, so he paid extra attention.

This caused him to spend a lot of time in the meeting hall. Although he repeatedly reminded Ling Tian Qing to be available anywhere, due to the girl's lack of knowledge about political affairs, he could not always keep the little girl by his side when dealing with important matters.

Therefore, he told her not to set foot outside the Palace.

Then find a husband to continue teaching her virtue.

However, Ling Tianqing had gone against the imperial edict, and today, she was standing right in front of him.

The little girl didn't like feudal moral books. Taking advantage of the early morning assembly, she sneaked into the imperial study to try and recharge herself as much as she could. She was filled with the ruthlessness of wanting to read all the books in the world.

In the summer, the day got hotter and hotter. Ling Tianqing cut herself an ordinary dress – but in the eyes of these people, it was probably very strange.

Ling Jingjing was not allowed to dress irregularly or expose her skin to the naked chest, so she cut the long-sleeved dress right to her ankle to cover herself, but it was much more comfortable than those long gowns.

However, the simple dress made people unable to resist looking at the little girl's beautiful figure.

All the beauties clenched their fingers in jealousy, feeling that Ling Tian was a natural born fox spirit. That kind of thinking was impossible for ordinary people!

Even if they imitated him, they would not be able to learn his essence.

Holding up her skirt, Ling Tianqing snuck into the imperial study.

He had recently heard that the king wanted to personally supervise the Imperial Examinations to select a young and talented student, so he wasn't particularly present in the palace after the morning assembly.

When Wen Han said three days later, he wanted to take advantage of the king's busy schedule and wait for the empress dowager's birthday to get her out.

In the huge imperial study, Ling Tian stood on a ladder and pulled out a thick book. He then sat down at the table, reading while making simple notes.

Even though she had Wen Han's help, she still had to work hard and not fail again.

It was very dangerous outside the palace. There were wild beasts and savages everywhere, and she had to use the knowledge here to arm her mind.

Ling Tian Qing was flipping through some books in the south study when he heard someone talking outside.

Tiptoeing out the window, Ling Tian Qing's face turned pale. For safety's sake, she had asked around for a few days and it was said that Ling Jing had been invigilating at the Royal Academy and could not return. Why was she so unlucky today?
