"Would you be so kind?" Xia Hou Yuying looked at Shen Hanxin warily, her voice exceptionally cold.
"The wicked have been doing this for a long time. It is not strange that they would show kindness occasionally. Furthermore, the princess has been so considerate to This King before. This King will not be ungrateful in repayment." What? Princess doesn't believe This King's sincerity? " As Shen Hanxin spoke, he gently waved his finger, and the tip of his finger swept across Xia Hou Yuying's chest. Xia Hou Yuying felt her entire body tremble, and suddenly took a few steps back, glaring at Shen Hanxin.
"Princess, don't worry. One day, I will let you see Han Xin's sincerity." As Shen Hanxin spoke, his almond-shaped eyes narrowed. He turned around and left the Residence of Duke of Han in big strides. He then looked towards the arched door leading to the backyard. As long as Shen Hansheng did not reject him personally, she could not tear off his face, as that would only result in a death trap. No matter what tricks Shen Hanxin had up his sleeve, if he really wanted to help his, he could afford to lose.
The night was dark and deep. The moonlight was obscured by the dark clouds and only spilled a little bit of afterglow, causing the already desolate night to become even more solemn and solemn.
Inside the room, Shen Hansheng was sitting upright, a look of indecisiveness flashing across her eyes. In front of his, Leng Bingxin was standing at the side with her beautiful eyes drooping down slightly, she knew that he could not hide from it, but when he faced it head on, an inexplicable sense of fear and grievance gradually floated up to his chest.
"You knew Meng Yan was in the garden, right?" A bone-chilling voice spilled out from Shen Hansheng's mouth as he stared at the woman before him with eagle-like eyes. Perhaps it was because she was being too indulgent, that Leng Bing Xin was so impudent.
"Master, she is Duan Mu Yan, Empress Mo!" "We can't keep this a secret for long. If the emperor finds out …" Leng Bing Xin choked back her throat, and spoke resolutely. Even now, she still did not feel that she was in the wrong.
"This King only asks you!" When this king went to the garden, what were you doing? How did you know Meng Yan was in the garden? When did you know!? " If not for her second royal brother, he believed that Duan Muyan had already died at the hands of Leng Bingxin, and this result was something he could not tolerate.
"One day before Master, I received the news from Wind Blade." Leng Bing Xin did not say anything else, she was clear that no matter how much explanation she gave, it would be of no use.
"Why not report it?" Shen Hansheng spoke coldly, his dark eyes darkened even more.
"Bing'er only knows that Duan Mu Yan's existence will become Master's greatest threat, not to mention Master offending the Xia Hou family for her sake. If her identity is exposed and Master continues to protect her, there will only be one outcome for her!" Leng Bing Xin was choked with emotions as she spoke, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes, as she tried her best not to let them down.
"This King knows what the consequences will be. This is not a problem that you should be worried about." But you, if I remember correctly, this is the second time you've violated the rules of the Dark Group. If not for Ye Li, I wouldn't have let you live. Although he could not bear it, he could sense Leng Bing Xin's enmity towards Duan Mu Yan. He would not allow himself to be kind to let Duan Mu Yan be in danger, and losing a warrior would be better than losing his life.
Inside the room, Duan Mu Yan was leaning against the window as she looked at Big Mo. She understood Shen Han Sheng's character, and if she insisted on leaving, she would definitely do whatever she said she would do to Xiao Yu Xuan to appease Shen Han Sheng. But now, she had to do something to make Shen Han Sheng give up.
Just when Duan Mu Yan was at a loss, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. Ye Li quickly walked to Duan Mu Yan and knelt on the ground.
"I beg Miss Meng Yan to save Leng Bing Xin!" Ever since Leng Bingxin had been called to the inner chamber by Shen Hansheng, Ye Li knew that the situation was dire. There was only one person in this world who could save Leng Bingxin, and that was the person before him.
"Leng Bing Xin? What happened? " Duan Mu Yan suspiciously looked at Ye Li as she asked in puzzlement.
"Ye Li knows that Bing Xin has let the girl down, but Bing Xin would only do such an extreme thing for her master. Now that master is going to blame Bing Xin, I beg Miss Meng Yan to save her life no matter what, Ye Li swear on his life that if Bing Xin can escape this calamity, she will not become her enemy, and Ye Li will be extremely grateful! "Please!" He did not have much time to explain, and a second of delay might have been exchanged for Leng Bingxin's corpse.
"Let's talk while we walk!" Sensing Ye Li's anxiety and fear, Duan Mu Yan immediately walked towards the door. Seeing that Duan Mu Yan did not object, Ye Li felt grateful from the bottom of his heart. He then brought Duan Mu Yan and walked towards Shen Han Sheng's room.
Looking at the dagger on the ground, Leng Bing Xin's tears could not help but gush out. Her misty eyes stared at the cold face, and Leng Bing suddenly felt pain in her heart, as if her heart was being roasted by iron again and again. She could even hear the sizzling sound of her heart being roasted.
"Master, would you mind listening to Bing Xin's words again?" Leng Bingxin's cherry lips pursed, her sparkling eyes looking at the man in front of her with the last of her attachment. Even if she were to end up like this, she would not regret falling in love with Shen Hansheng like a moth to the flame.
"What else is there to say?" The clear and cold voice had lost its initial decisiveness, but this did not mean that Shen Hansheng had changed his mind.
"Master let Bing Xin die. Bing Xin died without any grievances. Before she died, Bing Xin dared to ask Master what was the purpose of Master recruiting the Dark Group?" Leng Bing Xin said in heartache, her tears fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
"Please ask!" Shen Hansheng replied faintly, his gaze subconsciously avoiding Leng Bing's gaze.
"For the position of crown prince, our master has put in a lot of effort, and our brothers in the Dark Group have followed him with all their might, because they know that one day, they will follow Master and create a new career for him. If they knew that Master did not care about their hard work for a woman all these years, how sad would they be? You are our master, but they also have their own ideals. Leng Bing Xin enunciated each word clearly, ringing like the evening drum and the morning bell in Shen Han Sheng's mind.
"How do you know This King will lose?" Bongo's voice carried a trace of anger, which Shen Hansheng disapproved of.
"Duan Mu Yan's existence has already caused this result to have no suspense!" Leng Bingxin said confidently.
"This King does not wish to argue with you. On the day that the Japanese king ascends the throne, I will definitely have Ye Li come before your grave and inform him!" Shen Hansheng stared coldly at the dagger on the ground and no longer spoke.
She smiled, but it did not reach the bottom of her heart. The room was silent, and Leng Bing Xin picked up her dagger. No matter what, she would eventually die for the man she loved.
Seeing Leng Bing Xin raise her dagger, Shen Han Sheng's eyes lit up. He couldn't bear to see the person he trained to commit suicide in front of him. Just as Leng Bing Xin stabbed her dagger into her heart, a figure rushed in from outside the door and grabbed the dagger in her hand. The speed was so fast that Shen Han Sheng was barely able to react.
"Ye Li!" Do you want to rebel? " Shen Hansheng slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Ye Li. He knew Ye Li's feelings for Leng Bing Xin, but that did not mean that he could tolerate Ye Li defending Leng Bing's heart time and time again.
"Master, please give Bing Xin another chance. She was just confused for a moment, and her original intention was for Master's good!" Ye Li clenched the dagger in Leng Bing Xin's hand tightly and looked pleadingly at Shen Hansheng.
"A moment of confusion? This King sees her to be scheming! If they didn't deal with Leng Bing Xin this time, who would abide by the rules of the Dark Group! Get out of the way! " Shen Hansheng spoke harshly, his eyes filled with an irresistible determination.
"Ye Li, return the dagger to me!" Leng Bing Xin choked, her eyes filled with tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"Ruo Mengyan is begging for mercy on behalf of Lady Bingxin. Would you mind giving Yan`er some face?" During this entire journey, Ye Li had clearly told her the whole story. Even though Leng Bing Xin originally intended to be his enemy, she was still a rare form of loyalty towards Shen Hansheng. Just based on this, she had the responsibility to explain to Leng Bing Xin.
However, before Shen Hansheng could say anything, Leng Bingxin glared fiercely at Duan Mu Yan.
"Even if Bing-Er dies, I don't need you to pretend to be righteous here!"
"Bing-Er!" Ye Li knew that Leng Bing Xin hated Duan Mu Yan, but he didn't want to lose his life in the midst of this hatred.
"Sure …" Ye Li, give her the dagger! " Duan Mu Yan's expression didn't change as she slowly walked to the front of Leng Bing Xin, her cherry lips slightly pursed as she lightly smiled.
"If you die, you won't be able to see how I will push your master step by step into the abyss until he is beyond redemption! Oh... That may not be true. Wait a few more days down there; I believe that not too long from now, your master will reunite with you down there. At that time, you can be completely loyal to him again! " Duan Mu Yan looked at Leng Bing Xin innocently, the smile on her face made the hatred in her heart grow even stronger.
By his side, Shen Hansheng heard the sound of the fossil. He wouldn't die so quickly, would he?
Duan Mu Yan's words had indeed hit Leng Bing Xin dead center. Seeing that Leng Bing Xin was no longer courting death, Duan Mu Yan looked towards Ye Li.
"Take Miss Bing'er away, I have something to say to your master." Ye Li nodded his head fiercely, his eyes filled with gratitude. He then grabbed Leng Bingxin and left the room.
"You should know why This King punished her." Shen Hanesheng retracted the sullen look in her eyes and the curve of her lips appeared all the more bitter and helpless.
Originally, Mu Yan did not know that you were in such a perilous situation in the Southern Yue. Right now, you are at the point of using manpower, if you were to punish Leng Bing Xin, who would be willing to work for you in the future? Mu Yan does not wish for her existence to become a hindrance to you. You and I both know that if people outside knew that I was the empress of the Great Mo Dynasty that had just ascended to the throne, even if you were a prince, it would be even harder to protect me than ascending to the heavens. Rather than losing both sides, it would be better if we both of us win.
"You really want to go back to Badlands?" To Shen Hansheng, Duan Moyan's exhortation was undoubtedly the source of his heartache. Looking at the pair of pitch-black eyes that were filled with a faint sadness, Duan Mu Yan was slightly speechless. He didn't know how to respond. Did she want to go back? But so what if he went back? Even if she were to return, she would still give up the throne to someone from the royal family. Perhaps Zhu Xu and the other powerful officials from the imperial court might already be searching for a new candidate for the throne. How could she face Xiao Yuxuan again? He was already so happy, how could he bear to disturb his? However, this place didn't belong to her in the end. His existence might very well ruin the man in front of her. How could she bear such an outcome!
Just as Duan Moyan was hesitating, Shen Hansheng suddenly stepped forward and gently wrapped his arms around her as he embraced her. His thin lips curled up slightly, filled with love and satisfaction.
