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

The two were so close that they could even hear each other's heartbeats.

Xiao Chengji's breathing became heavy and his ears gradually turned red. His other hand slowly touched her lower back. Lu Lingyuan reacted and pushed him away, then took several steps back, looking at him warily.

Lu Lingyuan's cheeks flushed slightly, but more because of anger than shyness.

"I am asking you today in this Weiyang Palace, the residence of all the empresses of past dynasties. Are you willing to marry me and be my empress?" Xiao Chengji asked sincerely again. At this moment, his eyes were really sincere, and his heart and eyes were full of her.

In fact, he himself didn't know why he was so interested in her. He was obviously disdainful of her at the beginning. No, he should be disdainful of all women.

But later, after spending a few times together, he was attracted to her for some reason and would think of her from time to time. Especially after seeing her sincere smile that day, it lingered in his mind. When her smile flashed in his mind, he would inexplicably feel particularly good.

After she left that day, I was obviously angry, but later...

After Lu Lingyuan calmed down, she was about to refuse, but Xiao Chengji said again: "I ruined your previous marriage, and I should feel guilty. But now, I just feel lucky that I really prevented your marriage with Cui Zhaoling."

"Yuan'er, I am serious. I have known since I was young that my life is destined to be incomplete due to various reasons. My father and mother have been married for many years, but they are suspicious of each other. I am very scared. I am afraid of repeating the mistakes of my father and mother. But after meeting you, I am very determined. I am not my father, and you will not be my mother. You and I will definitely be a loving and happy ordinary couple!" Xiao Chengji stretched out his hand again, held Lu Lingyuan's hands, and placed a jade hairpin that he had carved lately in the past few days in her hands.

Lu Lingyuan frowned and tried to break free, but when she looked down she saw the jade hairpin. The jade was transparent and clean, and it was obvious that it was made of the finest jadeite.

"Do you like it? I carved it for you personally." Xiao Chengji said gently.

Lu Lingyuan stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Just when Xiao Chengji was about to pin the pin on her hair, she pushed him away and took a few steps back, saying nervously, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty's feelings, I am very grateful, but I do not want to enter the palace. I hope Your Majesty can understand." After saying that, Lu Lingyuan knelt directly on the ground with a determined look on her face.

Xiao Chengji's hand stopped in mid-air, still holding the jade hairpin, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Why?" Xiao Chengji was rejected and was naturally unhappy, but he kept holding it in and asked in a low voice.

"I was engaged to someone else before, so I dare not marry someone higher than you, Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" After saying that, Lu Lingyuan knocked heavily to the ground, closed her eyes, and suppressed the fear and terror in her heart.

Xiao Chengji stepped forward, pulled her up from the ground, held her hands, and said excitedly: "I don't care about these things, even if you have been married before, I don't care, I care about you, you as a person, I don't care about anything else!"

Lu Lingyuan listened to these words with a solemn expression, and could hardly believe it, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your servant..."

Without waiting for Lu Lingyuan to finish speaking again, Xiao Chengji pulled her towards the Phoenix Throne. Lu Lingyuan struggled but couldn't get away at all.

"His Majesty……"

Xiao Chengji pulled her and sat on the phoenix throne together. He stroked her hair tenderly and said in a gentle voice, "Yuan'er, promise me that you will be my queen, okay?"

"I want to share this world with you! And only you are qualified to share it with me!"

"Over the years, you are the only woman who has made my heart beat. I know that you are afraid of loneliness and the strict rules of this palace. I can promise you that as long as you want to leave the palace, I will take you out of the palace. I will not stop you from doing anything you want to do."

"As long as you are willing to stay by my side, I can promise you anything." Xiao Chengji promised her seriously.

Lu Lingyuan remained silent, but what she was thinking was that what she wanted most was to be free and unrestrained. However, he could not give her such a simple request.

Lu Lingyuan pulled back her hand and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I am afraid I am destined to disappoint you!"

"What did you say?" Xiao Chengji's eyes drooped slightly when he heard that, unable to hide his disappointment.
