Chapter 454 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 65
Zhou Shengchen felt as if his heart was hit by a bell when hearing what Ling Xi said. Suddenly, there was a deafening rumbling sound.

It's not like he hasn't thought about these things.

But given his identity, he is constrained by it and can only do things to the best of his ability.

"Since you, Bei Chen, can't support the people of this world, then we, Nan Xiao, will support them."

Ling Xi's eyes flickered, flashing with astonishing brightness, sparkling brightly.

Zhou Shengchen almost didn't dare to look at the light in Ling Xi's eyes. Compared with Ling Xi, he really didn't do enough.

"I came to you today because, first, I wanted to show you the abdication edict written by Liu Hui, and second, I wanted you to come forward and suppress the princes of various places. You are the most powerful among the princes, and only you have the ability to suppress them all."

Ling Xi stated his purpose in a very calm tone, not sounding like he was asking for help but more like he was making a request.

Zhou Shengchen felt really depressed when he heard Ling Xi's cold and distant tone.

It's not like they are strangers. They have known each other for ten years and know each other well. Do they have to speak in this tone?
He didn't blame her, she just looked like she didn't want to talk to him.

So, he rarely answered with a hint of anger: "What if I don't want to? What will you do?"

Hearing this, Ling Xi's slender fingers moved.

She replied without changing her expression: "It's okay. If you don't want to, no one will force you. Besides, I don't really need your help."

Those princes, after all, are a group of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

If they wanted to cause trouble, she could just lead her troops to defeat them.

Although it requires more effort, it is not without benefits. If we can take back the fiefdom they occupy, it will be a good thing.

A bunch of losers who occupy large tracts of land but do nothing are just wasting resources.

It was like a stone hitting cotton. Zhou Shengchen really had no way to deal with Ling Xi's attitude.

"I will do it," he said.

Ling Xi looked at him, but met his gentle eyes directly. Her heart trembled, and she subconsciously moved her head to the other side.

"Thank you."

Zhou Shengchen moved himself in front of Ling Xi, looking at her intently, his upturned eyes seemed to contain tenderness, and asked: "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Ling Xi clenched her fingers tightly and tried to remain calm, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Shengchen: "Are you planning to never see anyone from the palace again?"

Ling Xi felt a little guilty: "Who said that? We will meet naturally when the time comes."

Zhou Shengchen gave her a meaningful look: "Oh."

Ling Xi was angry and she didn't know how to face Zhou Shengchen.

She didn't know whether he blamed her or hated her.

The hatred between them should barely be considered as the hatred between family and country, right?
Thinking of this, Ling Xi didn't want to stay in this space with Zhou Shengchen any longer.

She stood up and said to Zhou Shengchen, "Today, King Nanchen can leave here and no longer be imprisoned. Tomorrow is when my brother will meet with the ministers of the court. If possible, I hope King Nanchen can appear in the Taiji Hall."

King Nanchen?
Everything Zhou Shengchen wanted to say was blocked by this name.

She called him King Nanchen, such a strange name?

But she clearly once called him Zhou Shengchen with a smile, and that smile was as sweet and melodious as spring water.

At worst, now he doesn't even call me Your Highness. After leaving Xianyang Palace, Pei Qin came to Ling Xi and said, "Princess."

Ling Xi ordered, "Pei Qin, let him go. There's no need to lock him up anymore. Then take him to see Xie Chong and the others."

"Yes, princess."

Zhou Shengchen followed Pei Qin out and walked to a palace not far from Xianyang Palace, where he met Xie Chong, Hong Xiaoyu and others.

"Your Highness."

"Master."

Seeing Zhou Shengchen, Xie Chong, Hong Xiaoyu and others hurriedly surrounded him.

Xie Yun smiled and said, "Master, they finally let you out. I thought you were imprisoned by Emperor Nan Xiao."

Zhou Shengchen also smiled at them: "Emperor Nanxiao is not a tyrant, why do they imprison me?"

Feng Qiao had never worried about Zhou Shengchen at all: "Oh, I told you, with A Xi here, Master will definitely be fine."

Speaking of Ling Xi, Feng Qiao and Xie Yun asked Pei Qin who was standing beside them: "Hey, General, when can Ah Xi come to see us? Or we can go see her."

Pei Qin clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness the Princess and His Majesty have been very busy recently. Please be patient."

"King Nanchen, you have already met them. I have completed my duty. Please take your leave."

Pei Qin walked out with big strides.

Feng Qiao looked at Pei Qin's back and complained bitterly: "Why does this guy always say that Axi doesn't have time every time he asks? I think he is a subordinate who is quite idle, so why is his master so busy?"

Xie Chong looked at Zhou Shengchen, noticed his expression, stroked his beard and said confidently: "Your Highness, have you met Ling Xi?"

When Feng Qiao heard that Zhou Shengchen had already met Ling Xi, she immediately became anxious: "Master, you have already met Ah Xi? Then why didn't she come to see us?"

Zhou Shengchen pursed his lips, his throat was dry: "She was very busy, and I only met her once."

Hong Xiaoyu said: "As the younger sister of Emperor Nan Xiao, Ah Xi should be very busy right now."

Xie Chong felt that this was not the case. He glanced at the dejected Feng Qiao and Xie Yun, and deliberately asked in front of Zhou Shengchen:

"She doesn't have time to see you, so you can go see her, right? Why, do you still feel bad because she lied to you?"

"Not at all."

Feng Qiao puffed up her cheeks and refuted Xie Chong fiercely.

"Although I did feel that Ah Xi had deceived us when I first found out, and I felt bad because of it, but I have thought it through. If she hadn't saved us, we would have been killed by Liu Zixing and his men this time. It was Ah Xi who saved us, and we should be grateful to her."

"That's right, Father." Xie Yun continued, "How can we blame Ling Xi? We feel sorry for her."

Ling Xi must have spent a lot of effort in planning this for so many years, and it must have been difficult to keep it a secret from them.

Most of them are orphans and have fought on the battlefield.

They are loyal to their master, not the Northern Chen royal family.

They don't have much feeling towards the royal family and are not as loyal as their master who is born into the royal family.

The master taught them to protect the people and the country, but he did not teach them to be loyal to the royal family.

Moreover, everyone in their hearts knew clearly the attitude and fear of the royal family towards their Xizhou and Nanchen Palace, and they had even less good feelings towards the Beichen royal family.

They are not as pleasing to the eye as Emperor Nan Xiao.
