"Shut up."
Lingchan said coldly: "Don't mind my business."
"You must tell me, otherwise I will go find my father as soon as I leave the Pearl Palace! I will expose you!"
"Expose me?" Lingchan sneered, "You don't dare."
"I saw through you as early as when you were grounded."
"You are just a coward. You only know how to stick to the benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust you learned from childhood. You obediently stay in the moral cage established by your predecessors and never dare to go beyond it."
Lingchan stood up, she carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her dress, and said softly: "I am very trusting of you and will not do anything to you. You can leave quickly while I still have patience."
She turned and left.
"A-chan," the prince sat up, calling out this intimate nickname for the first time in a long time, and said softly: "How can I ignore you? I said, I will protect you!"
"I don't need anyone's protection now," Lingchan said calmly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me," Tantai Zhi smiled at her with red eyes, "You're right, it's all because of my weakness that I became what I am now."
"From the moment you entered the palace, or a little earlier, from the moment King An proposed to you, I regret it all the time. I always wonder if it is because of my shrinking and my weakness that everything has turned into what it is now. What does it look like?”
"My brother stole my fiancée and abandoned her. My fiancée couldn't bear the humiliation and recommended herself to my father. All this is like a ridiculous and inferior drama."
Tantai Zhi said, as if he was amused, and sneered lightly.
If he could be a little more bold, if he could be a little more unbridled, if he could be a little more frivolous.
Crystal water droplets fell on the ground, making a small splash.
Lingchan stopped and said, "There is no reason, and no one bullies me. I do things just because I want to."
"I also want to try what it's like to be an emperor."
She answered Tantai Zhi's nagging questions.
"That's good." Tantai Zhi finally got the answer he wanted. He smiled, and it was no longer a cold mocking smile. His smile was gentle, like the first flower bud poking out of a branch in spring.
"So, I had already thought about it when I came here. I want to make up for my mistakes."
Tantai Zhi, the crown prince of the Yong Dynasty, was a gentleman praised by everyone.
But now he was sitting on the ground, covered in dust and embarrassment, reaching out to hold the hem of Lingchan's skirt.
Because of love and guilt, he went from being a proud man to being humbled.
Tantai Zhi said: "I will fight for you against the charge of rebellion."
Lingchan paused, but without looking back, she only said coldly: "See you off."
She didn't believe it.
But this time, he won't break the contract again.
…
Three days later.
Emperor Qianhua searched the East Palace for correspondence between the prince and the leader of the rebel army, and found evidence of a large amount of money and grain smuggled by the prince to the rebel army.
The whole country was shocked.
This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Yong Dynasty, the legitimate next master. Why does he want to rebel?
But the evidence is so solid that we have to believe it.
He was so eager to seize power, even if he was charged with treason. If the rebels could reach the capital, could it be possible that he would kill his father with his own hands?
Cold-blooded, ruthless, and greedy for power, such people are not worthy of being a prince at all!
Thousands of people despised him.
The courtiers were furious, but Emperor Qianhua changed his usual cold-blooded behavior and tried his best to protect the prince.
In the end, the prince was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.
For food, drink, housing and transportation, all the necessary supplies were still allocated from the palace to ensure that he would have enough food and clothing and be rich for half his life.
On the day when the East Palace was sealed off and the prince was detained, Ling Chan asked the emperor and went to the scene.
All of Tantai Zhi's clothes were of the prince's standard and could not be worn by ordinary people. He could only wear the plain clothes that were temporarily thrown out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his shoulders were pressed down by the eunuch.
Normally, no matter whether you are a slave or a concubine, touching him would be an offense to the prince, but now everyone can humiliate him as a matter of course.
Tantai Zhi's hands and feet were chained with iron chains, and his exposed wrists were red from being pressed by heavy cold iron. He had loose black hair and an expressionless face, like a bent bamboo.
The character is still there, Ling Shuang is proud of the snow.
Emperor Qianhua did not allow Lingchan to come into contact with Tantai Zhi, so Lingchan had no choice but to wink in his direction and say hello.
But Tantai Zhi just stared at the blue sky above his head, ignoring all the noise from the outside world, and only immersed himself in his own world.
When he was taken away, he finally saw Lingchan standing beside him.
Lingchan smiled at him.
So Tantai Zhi also smiled at Ling Chan.
The environment is chaotic and life is boring, but the two people looking at each other smile lightly and are peaceful, just like the first time they met in front of the palace wall.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last farewell.
Tantai Zhi's eyes passed over Lingchan with nostalgia. He smiled softly and opened and closed his lips silently, as if saying goodbye.
Lingchan pretended to understand and nodded to him.
Tantai Zhi's figure quickly disappeared, and his body was completely covered by the guards guarding him layer by layer.
Lingchan smiled happily and got into her carriage in a good mood.
[King An was seriously injured in the war and is still recovering. He may not be able to be cured. The prince's rebellion is a serious crime and his biggest stain. They will not be an obstacle to me. 】
[Now all that remains is to deal with Emperor Qianhua. 】
Lingchan was thinking about her big event in her mind, but she heard the system, who couldn't hold it in anymore, whisper and ask: "Have you understood Tantai's lip reading?" When did you learn it and why didn’t I know? 】
【I don’t understand. 】
[Then why didn’t you ask me? Aren’t you curious? 】
[He will basically never appear in front of me again. Is his message important? ] Lingchan said disapprovingly: [Unimportant people are not worth my efforts. 】
[...] The system suddenly said: [Tantai Zhi said: You don’t have to worry so much, he will do a good job. 】
Lingchan was stunned.
The system said dullly: [He guessed it, right? It was you who was fanning the flames and fabricating evidence. You had already planned to make him take the blame for your treason. 】
[How can Emperor Qianhua relax his vigilance? ] Lingchan said calmly: [He said he was willing, I didn't force him. 】
【I'm not blaming you! ] The system immediately proved to itself: [He deserves to end up like this! I just feel bad. 】
[Why didn’t he cherish you when you were good to him before, and now he loves you so desperately? 】
[The same goes for King An. In the original world, the oiran loved him so much and believed in him as the supreme god, but King An sent her to death because of some irrelevant rumors. 】
【why? 】
Why?
Lingchan chuckled: [Because I never loved them. 】
He offered his sincere and blazing sincerity, but was trampled to pieces by a dismissive foot.
With false calculations, he was put on a high platform and fell in love to the point of madness.
[In relationships, sincerity is not a surefire skill. 】
[Indifference is. 】
