"The imperial city has been breached, the King of Xiangchu and his army have entered the city, and the queen has jumped from the tower and died for her country."

After the subordinate finished reporting, he saw that Xiao Linfeng didn't say anything and slowly retreated.

He leaned against a big tree, covered his heart with his hands, and felt an empty heart with a slight pain, "How could he die..."

He gave her the token, intending to let her use it to buy his escape. Perhaps it was because of the "Third Brother" he called her when he was young, and because of the years of companionship in the deep palace, he softened his heart for once.

Gu Shengsheng, who was sitting on a wooden chair nearby, saw his painful expression and said sarcastically, "You wanted her to live well, but she died for her country."

"Uncle Xiao, you are the only one who is despicable."

“Hahahaha…” He smiled a smile that was uglier than crying, “I underestimated her. She is the one with a righteous heart.”

"Cough cough cough..."

She was coughing so hard that her lungs were broken. Lu Wu poured her a glass of warm water, and she drank it slowly for a while before she recovered.

I suddenly felt very jealous and unwilling.

"At such a critical moment, you gave her the capital city to buy her a way out. What about me? I'm almost dying of illness, why don't you feel sorry for me? Is it because my last name is Gu?"

Xiao Linfeng looked at her for a long time before speaking, "I'm treating you well now, will you really be happy?"

She lowered her eyes and pinched her palm in pain. In recent days, whenever she closed her eyes, she would dream about the Gu family almost every night.

In the dream, Gu Mingwang was covered in blood and arrows and looked at her, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye, nor did she dare to call him "Dad" again...

She slept restlessly all night, and her already poor health was deteriorating at an extremely fast rate. She took another pill of the medicine left by the miracle doctor, and there was only one pill left.

She thought this was retribution, she deserved it. She was so unfilial and would go to hell after she died.

Thinking of this, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. "I don't even have the face to see my parents when I die. So can't you be nicer to me? I'm going to die soon!"

He walked over and squatted in front of her, prying open her palms, which were already bruised from being pinched. He said cruelly, "If you want to hate someone, then hate Jiang Xue Ning. After all, she is your aunt. If she hadn't come back, I said I wanted to make you the eldest princess."

Unfortunately, she came back and forced him into a corner, so he had to use this trump card.

Gu Shengsheng closed his eyes and said uncomfortably, "When you saved me, you had already planned everything. If you met someone else with the last name Gu, you would have saved him too."

"Well, I am such a despicable person." Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "So if she is willing to give me what I want and come to save you, remember to forget me and live well."

"No, you should hate me."

"I should hate you..." She patted his shoulder with her hand and said madly, "It's you who made me like this. All your kindness to me in the past was poison wrapped in sugar."

All those good things now became boomerangs, hitting her right between the eyebrows. She could neither escape nor break free.

Seeing that she was so excited that she could hardly breathe, he stood up and patted her back to help her calm down.

"Now that it has come to this, don't you want to meet your uncle and aunt and see how much you mean to them?"

"I don't want to...I don't want to see them at all."

She held his hand, looked up and begged him, "Let's run away, okay? Go back to the island or some place where no one knows us, and live a quiet life."

Even if she didn't have much time to live, if he could give up revenge, leave her and let her stay quietly by her side, completing the last part of her life.

Even though she committed a heinous crime, she did not regret her choice.

Xiao Linfeng lowered his head, looked at the calm and ruthless look in her eyes and said, "Shengsheng, you are still too naive. We can't escape."

"I owe her so much blood debt, and there has been a feud between us."

"The book I read said that besides Xiling, there are other countries, as well as the East Sea and the West Sea... We can escape to other places..."

"Why do you want to run away?" He chuckled. "In the end, I gave up everything and became the king of a fallen country, just to keep this life and end things with her."

Gu Shengsheng let go of her hand, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly. "Haha, I knew it was like this. You still have to humiliate yourself by asking for an answer. You should always face the reality before you die."

"You may not die. What if she is particularly soft-hearted towards you?"

"Do you think she's a fool?"

She knew in her heart that it wouldn't happen. If they hadn't found her before and didn't know her choice, they would definitely pity her and maybe try their best to save her because of this bloodline.

Unfortunately, it was her own fault that she ended up like this. She blocked her own way.

"For a person like me and a body like mine, it's suffering to live. If we can't escape together, then let's die together."

Xiao Linfeng stroked her long hair, "Actually I hope you're alive..."

"Hehe, because you want her to feel pain."

Although she couldn't guess what he was going to do, she knew that the premise for her to live was that King Xiangchu would exchange her for precious things.

"Uncle Xiao, you are really mean and cruel. You don't care what I think or whether it hurts. You will only do whatever it takes to achieve your goal."

"Shengsheng, I have always been such a cold-blooded and heartless person. I have never been a good person."

After he said this, he left and continued to have people set traps.

Gu Shengsheng smiled weakly and asked Lu Wu who was standing beside him, "You have been following him since you were a child, right? Has he always been like this?"

"Yes, the Xiao family didn't treat him well, and he seemed to be born heartless and calculating." Lu Wu fell into memories, "I used to think that Princess Chen was an exception. After all, he drank all night when she got married..."

But later, he plotted against the Gu family without batting an eyelid, and rose to prominence by stepping on her bones...

"So it's normal that I'm not an exception, right..." she comforted herself.

It was Lu Wu who had been with her all these years, so she felt sorry for her. She was just a victim of Xiao Linfeng's ambition and calculations.

She held her hand and whispered to her, "You should have ignored everything and followed your aunt..."

"I can't let him go..." She said painfully, "For so many years, he was the only one in my world. The moment I knew the truth, my world collapsed. But... I was too timid, and subconsciously chose him who was familiar and whom I could rely on..."

"I'm not brave enough. Maybe I've been destroyed bit by bit..."

"It's not your fault. He's just too cunning. He made it so that you couldn't leave him. He had already controlled you mentally."

She smiled bitterly, "I know he is poisonous, but I have been drinking poison to quench my thirst and can't quit."

She thought she would not regret being brave enough, but as the time of meeting was getting closer, she seemed unable to face them calmly...

Those who were deeply let down by her and who shared the same blood with her.
