After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

When Shen Ning saw those four words, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

She simply couldn't believe that the corpse in front of her was Xie Linyuan.

She couldn't believe he was dead.

But now Mo Yu is here too, and he looks just like him.

The jade pendant and the family letter were both his; they couldn't be faked.

"Impossible... He said he would come back from Longxi alive."

"Mo Yu..." Shen Ning looked at Mo Yu with red eyes.

Mo Yu didn't speak, but slowly lowered his head.

Just then, the Empress Dowager, supported by several palace maids, slowly walked in from outside the hall.

She glanced at Shen Ning, whose face was streaked with tears, and sneered:

"I have said it before, I will not lose."

"The regent sacrificed his life for the country. Before going to Longxi, he left a letter stating that if he died on the battlefield, his queen should be buried with him."

She paused, her gaze slowly sweeping over Shen Ning.

"Now that the Regent has passed away, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau has chosen a date for his burial, which will be the day after tomorrow."

"Someone, escort the princess back to her room."

"When the Regent is buried, the Regent's wife shall be buried with him."

Shen Ning looked at the mangled corpse and simply couldn't believe it.

She turned to look at Mo Yu beside her, her voice trembling:

"Mo Yu, say something! What happened?"

Mo Yu remained silent, biting his lip, his eyes red-rimmed, refusing to utter a single word.

The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Guards, take the Princess Consort to her room first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ning was escorted by two old women to the side room.

As soon as we entered the room, the maids locked the door from the outside.

Shen Ning pounded on the door of the room, but there was no response from outside.

"The prince will not die."

"He and I are both people who have been given a second chance at life."

"Xie Linyuan, you can't die!"

"May you live to be a hundred years old in this life."

"You came back to see me alive in my past life. Are you going to abandon me in this one?"

Shen Ning felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe; the feeling was both sour and bitter.

In her past life, she clearly didn't care about him at all, and even hoped that he would die in Longxi.

But now, her heart is breaking.

She slowly squatted down and leaned quietly against the door, feeling so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

Did Xie Linyuan never escape the clutches of Prince Chen in his entire life?

Or perhaps he harbors resentment from his past life, which is why he is unwilling to return to see her.

Countless thoughts flooded her mind, and Shen Ning felt as if someone was tightly choking her throat, making it hard for her to breathe.

Just when she was on the verge of despair, a pair of black cloud-patterned boots slowly appeared in her sight.

She paused slightly, her gaze following the pair of cloud-patterned boots upwards.

The man's waist was bound by a jade belt, making him appear even more lean and powerful.

Above that was a handsome, familiar face.

Shen Ning met the man's deep eyes and was momentarily stunned.

Xie Linyuan smiled, his gaze fixed on her tear-streaked face.

He slowly leaned down, grasped her delicate chin, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"It's been two months, Madam, don't you recognize me?"

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with teary eyes, somewhat incredulous.

Is he really still alive?

He stood perfectly fine in front of her.

"A-Yuan".

You lied to me.

Xie Linyuan let out a low, hoarse laugh, squatted down, and gently wiped away her tears.

"Ah Ning, I'm back."

"Don't cry, okay?"

Shen Ning bit her lip tightly, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. Unable to hold back, she reached out and threw herself into his arms.

She wrapped her arms around the man's lean waist, reluctant to let go.

She and Xie Linyuan were husband and wife in two lifetimes.

In her first life, she hated him intensely, loathed him, and even wished for his death in Longxi.

But in this life, he was like a vine, taking root and sprouting in her heart, impossible to uproot.

Xie Linyuan chuckled softly, letting the little girl hug him.

Once she calmed down a bit, she picked the person up from the ground and placed them on the couch.

After Shen Ning was placed on the couch, she had just propped herself up when the man leaned down and kissed her lips fiercely.

He missed her terribly after not seeing her for two months, to the point of almost going crazy.

Shen Ning lay on the couch, her jade-like arms tightly wrapped around the man's neck, letting him kiss her.

"Ah Yuan." Perhaps she was almost suffocating from the kiss, Shen Ning let out a soft moan.

Xie Linyuan's voice was hoarse: "Didn't you change your mind before going to Longxi?"

"I like it when you call me husband."

Shen Ning was in a daze, and Xie Linyuan only let go of her when she was almost suffocating.

The man lay on the couch, holding the girl's soft waist, and said in a low, husky voice:

Come to me.

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, he pulled her to lie on his chest.

Their breathing suddenly became intertwined.

The girl's increasingly full figure made Xie Linyuan's prominent Adam's apple bob slightly.

He was breathing heavily, his voice terribly hoarse.

"Two months have passed, and you've become even more..."

The man paused, his gaze falling on her small face, a smile in his eyes.

"Ah Ning is even more clingy than before."

Shen Ning pouted, leaned down, and bit his arm hard with her lips.

"You faked your death to fool me, making me shed so many tears!"

Xie Linyuan chuckled softly, "A-Ning cares about me."

Shen Ning was both angry and annoyed, her eyes were still red, but her voice was filled with reproach:

"Mo Yu, too, acted with such seriousness."

"And the prince's armor, and the person lying there, they all look so real..."

"In the past life, there was no body brought back at all."

Xie Linyuan reached out and gripped her waist tightly, then flipped over and pinned her beneath him.

"Madam, please keep your voice down. There are still quite a few of the Empress Dowager's people outside."

Shen Ning pouted at him, her eyes still red:

"Do you know, I thought you were dead."

"I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."

Xie Linyuan leaned down and gently kissed the corner of her lips.

"I know."

His voice lowered: "Now we're just waiting to close the net, it's truly a helpless situation."

Closing the net?

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that Xie Linyuan wants to wait for Prince Li and the Empress Dowager to fight for power?

How to wipe out the Liu family behind Prince Li and the Ruan family behind the Empress Dowager in one fell swoop?

The news that Prince Li was a eunuch spread throughout Yanjing, and that he was very likely the son of Prince Ming.

The Empress Dowager would definitely not allow him to become emperor; she wanted to seize power herself.

When the Empress Dowager comes to power, she will adopt a child from the imperial clan and raise him to be emperor.

The emperor was made a puppet, and she truly controlled the government.

"Does Your Highness now intend to eliminate the Ruan and Liu families?"

Xie Linyuan looked down at her and gently brushed her nose with his finger.

"After three days apart, the lady has indeed become more astute."

"What about Su Linfeng?" Shen Ning asked.

Xie Linyuan said, "Let's go see His Majesty."

-

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the flickering candlelight cast intermittent light on the bright yellow curtains.

Emperor Wuzong lay on his couch, but refused to close his eyes.

He opened his eyes weakly, his gaze passing through the half-drawn bed curtains and looking towards the direction outside the bedroom.

The palace servants inside the hall knelt on the ground, none of them daring to make a sound.

A short while later, a series of light but hurried footsteps approached the bedside.

"Your Majesty, they're back... Prince Su is back."

Emperor Wuzong's drooping eyelids trembled.

He slowly raised his eyes and weakly looked towards the palace gate.

Then a figure walked in against the light, following behind Marquis Yongning.

The young man was dressed in red, with a handsome face and a high ponytail, his expression complex.

Emperor Wuzong's lips moved slightly as he softly called out:

"Rinkaze..."
