After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Cui Zhaoling's eyes were empty, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and an evil smile spread across his lips. His face was full of contempt and self-mockery, like the last rays of setting sun in winter, both desolate and ironic.

Suddenly, he laughed out loud, and his laughter contained endless desolation and madness, "Hahahaha..." The laughter echoed in the empty hall.

Mrs. Cui's face suddenly changed. Fear instantly climbed onto her cheeks like ice. She trembled in her voice and almost begged, "Zhao Ling, you... don't scare your mother!"

……

In a quiet house on Zhuque Street, Lu Lingyuan sat quietly. Since she woke up in the middle of the night last night, she found herself imprisoned here, with the door tightly closed from the outside. No matter how she shouted, no one answered. So, she stopped wasting her energy and just sat quietly on the couch, looking calm and composed.

She already had some guesses about who had kidnapped her.

At this time, the door opened gently, and a little maid came in with water for washing her face, her face full of respect and caution. She wanted to put down her things and leave in a hurry several times, but was stopped by Lu Lingyuan.

Lu Lingyuan said in a deep voice: "I want to see His Majesty." Her voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable determination.

The little maid was obviously frightened, her face turned pale as paper, and she immediately turned around and ran out.

Not long after, Lu Lingyuan heard footsteps coming from the door. She raised her eyebrows and said expressionlessly: "Go tell your Majesty that if he doesn't give me an explanation, it will be reported today that the current Majesty has done the absurd thing of openly kidnapping the daughter of an official in order to prevent the marriage between officials!"

Her eyes were cold as ice, her voice as cold as snow, and every word seemed to carry a bone-chilling chill. "If you don't want this matter to become a big deal and known to everyone, go to the palace and report it immediately!"

Lu Lingyuan knew clearly in her heart that the people from the Lu and Cui families would never come here in a short time. She did not return home overnight. For the Lu and Cui families...if she could not prove her innocence, then what awaited her could only be...

Lu Lingyuan looked very calm, trying her best to hide her inner panic. These words were just a lie to them, and now it depends on whether they will be fooled.

"I'll tell you the truth! My father had a premonition that someone would obstruct my marriage, so we had an agreement that if I couldn't return safely within one day, then..." Lu Lingyuan's words, with an unquestionable chill, flowed from her lips, like icicles suddenly condensed in winter, "This should not be the scene Your Majesty wants to see!"

Although the people outside the door could not tell the truth from her words, they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They turned around and hurriedly went into the palace to report.

Lu Lingyuan watched them leave, and a huge stone in her heart fell to the ground. However, this peace was only momentary, and was soon replaced by deeper worries.

What should she do? The Cui family? Cui Zhaoling? This marriage, it seems, has come to an end.

For the Cui family, there is actually no loss. Proposing to cancel the engagement at this time is exactly what His Majesty wants.

And what about her father? To him, she is now...

Lu Lingyuan's thoughts were like leaves falling in the wind, flying around. Her eyebrows became extremely sharp at this moment, and complex emotions surged in the depths of her eyes. Her hands unconsciously grasped the corner of the table, and her long nails scratched across the wooden surface, making a harsh sound.

What should she do? What should she do? Lu Lingyuan's face was ugly, and her eyes were red. What would be the end waiting for her?

……

When Xiao Chengji got the news, his eyes turned deep and he turned the jade ring on his hand calmly. His eyes became colder and colder. The eunuch beside him kept his body bent and did not move, trying to reduce his presence!

"Give the order, I want to leave the palace!" After thinking it over again and again, Xiao Chengji decided to leave the palace to see Lu Lingyuan!

"Yes." The eunuch in front of the emperor quickly agreed, bowed and went back to make arrangements.

Xiao Chengji's eyes became colder and colder, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, but then the smile froze. Lu Lingyuan had underestimated her.

He had no impression of Lu Lingyuan. If his mother had not reminded him several times before, he would not have noticed her at all. Unexpectedly, she was indeed a unique girl.
