In the dark night, a grand chase unfolds.

Xiao Linfeng had received the news in advance, so he naturally laid a net. Chen Shou soon found that he had no way to escape and was surrounded.

Concubine Ying was wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold night.

In the fight, Chen Shou's men were soon almost all killed. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Haha, my life is worth it to be able to sleep with the emperor's mother."

"Even if I die, my son will avenge me!"

Even when death was imminent, he was not afraid at all.

He looked at Xiao Linfeng and said, "In fact, when you summoned me to the capital this time, you didn't intend to let me leave alive. You wanted the soldiers from Taiyuan."

It is precisely because he knows this that he is so desperate to provoke Concubine Ying.

"So this is your revenge against me?" Xiao Linfeng asked coldly.

Chen Shou was born in a humble family and was very loyal. Xiao Linfeng threatened him with his brother who had been through thick and thin with him, so he had no choice but to go to the capital.

He used his military power to exchange for the lives of dozens of his brothers and sent them away, while at the same time laying his hands on Concubine Ying.

"I'm going to die anyway, so I won't lose anything if I die this way."

Before he went to Beijing, he told his only son that if anything happened to him, he should immediately rebel against Xiao Linfeng.

Xiao Linfeng said indifferently, "Kill without mercy!"

Instantly countless arrows shot at the two of them, and Concubine Ying screamed, "No!"

In an instant, the two men were shot into hedgehogs. Chen Shou laughed, "It's worth it for me to have this chance to travel through the human world!" He fell to the ground and lost his voice.

Concubine Ying, covered in blood, stretched out her hand to Xiao Linfeng, "I am your mother, you are killing your mother, you can't do this to me!"

He just stood there and looked at her coldly, "If possible, I don't want to be born by you."

“Ahem…” Concubine Ying lay on the ground, laughing crazily, “I don’t want to enter the palace or give birth to you…”

But no one ever asked her if she was willing, and she had no choice.

She had an affair as a favorite concubine and gave birth to an illegitimate child...she experienced many ups and downs in her life, and finally died at the hands of her own son.

She thought it was a good idea, "I brought you into this world and you suffered so much. If I die in your hands, I will repay you. In your next life, remember to be reborn into a good family and don't be my mother and son."

Gradually she lost her voice and turned into a cold corpse.

Xiao Linfeng said in a neutral tone, "Bury him. Bury him on the mountain behind the Taoist temple."

This was his last kindness to his biological mother. He did not bury her in the imperial mausoleum, allowing her to leave alone without any worries.

When he returned to the palace, it was already dawn, but his heart was cold.

He went to Xiao Linglong's room unconsciously. It was still early, but she had already woken up.

She was sitting by the window in a white dress with her hair loose. Seeing him coming, she said sarcastically, "Your Majesty can't sleep either. Is it because you have done too many bad things?"

Since Mrs. Xiao's death, she could hardly sleep at night and her whole body quickly withered away.

Xiao Linfeng sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Concubine Ying is dead."

She was stunned for a moment, "Oh, Your Majesty, don't tell me you are sad, that would be ridiculous for me."

"She had an affair with General Chen and got pregnant. During the chase, I ordered them to be shot dead."

This was considered an appalling royal scandal; he ordered the killing of his own mother, yet he spoke so calmly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.

Even though she had been calm for a long time, she was shocked by the news and took a deep breath. She sneered and said, "Does your heart hurt? People like you don't have a heart... You can kill those who love you without blinking an eye."

Gradually, she felt that he was a monster without a heart and who didn't understand love, and it was sad to live like him.

"She deserves to die." He said calmly.

"Well, in your eyes, are there people who don't deserve to die?" She sneered, "Xiao Linfeng, you are not that innocent. Those who love you love you, and those who have anything to do with you will not have a good ending."

"You once had a group of friends who were dressed in fine clothes and riding horses. I wonder how many people envied the young men and women in Gu Garden back then.

It was your dark and twisted self that destroyed everything. You always think that the Xiao family and the Snow Clan forced you to do it. So why didn't you go when they told you to die?"

"To this day, you, Xiao Linfeng, are not so innocent."

Xiao Linfeng chuckled, "Everyone in the world longs for this throne, but they don't know that it's lonely up here."

He is now finally a real loner, with no one behind him.

When he returned to the imperial study, Sang Yu was waiting for him in the room.

Seeing him coming, she said worriedly, "I've heard about Concubine Ying's matter."

It was at this critical juncture that Sang Yu didn't know how to start.

Xiao Linfeng knew exactly what he was here for, "Your sister is seriously ill, you are here to say goodbye and go back to be with her."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left at this time." Sang Yu said with difficulty, "I'll come back when she recovers."

Back then, Gu Mingyue generously donated a thousand-year-old ginseng to save his sister, and Xiao Linfeng had been kind to them before that.

So in that game, he finally stood on Xiao Linfeng's side. For so many years, he served as his advisor and think tank, helping him all the way to where he is now.

Xiao Linfeng opened the window and watched the sun rise up little by little. "You have already repaid the so-called life-saving grace for so many years. Go away and don't come back. Accompany your sister well and live for yourself from now on."

Sang Yu looked at his desolate back and said, "But I'm worried about you like this now."

"What's there to worry about? I'm already at the highest point." Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "If one day I fall from a height, it can only mean that this is my fate."

He was the only one among the group of people back then who stood by him from beginning to end and accompanied him to this point, and Xiao Linfeng rewarded him handsomely.

"Take care!"

Because he was worried about his sister's illness, Sang Yu set out overnight.

On the third day after leaving Beijing, they passed a desolate section of the road when suddenly a group of men in black attacked them, accompanied by flying arrows.

He didn't bring many people with him and they were soon unable to resist. He was good at strategies but his martial arts were mediocre and he was soon hit by a sword.

He fell to the ground, holding his wound. "Who are you?"

He hid in the dark most of the time and suddenly left Beijing secretly, never expecting that he would encounter a fatal disaster.

Lin Ran walked out of the woods with his face covered. "Someone asked me to ask you a question."

"You have already repaid Xiao Linfeng's kindness, when will you repay Gu Mingyue?"

Although he also did the Gu family a favor, he and Xiao Linfeng pushed the Gu family into the abyss.

Therefore, taking his life is one of Lin Ran’s missions in coming to Beijing this time.

As soon as these words came out, Sang Yu gave up struggling instantly. He smiled bitterly and said, "This day has finally come. I really owe her this."

"So now it's your turn to pay with your life!"

Sang Yu looked up at the sky. Back then, a group of young boys and girls rode their horses past on the street... they could never go back.

His only regret was that he couldn't go back to see his sister for the last time.

But if it weren't for Gu Mingyue, his sister would have died long ago...

At the end of his life, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry..."
