Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

In an instant, Ling Jinglan understood what she meant. She thought he didn't like her.

Ling Jinglan felt his whole body stiffen. He took two quick steps and grabbed Xie Jinzhao's wrist. "Jinzhao, I'm not like that. I'm... you know? The night you married Lu Changyuan was the most painful time in my life. Later, when I heard that the emperor ordered Lu Changyuan to go to war, I was very happy."

Xie Jinzhao turned her head away, pursed her lips, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips. In fact, she always knew what Ling Jinglan was thinking. No one would be nice to another person for no reason.

She pretended to sigh and pulled her hand away. "It's meaningless to say all this now. The emperor has arranged the marriage for me, and I am nominally the Princess of Zhuang. My only wish now is to help my senior brother get revenge, which is actually to help myself and Changliu Pavilion."

Ling Jinglan took a step forward and hugged Xie Jinzhao into his arms. He had another identity. He and Jinzhao were engaged and they were an engaged couple.

God knows how deeply he longs for the girl in his arms, just like a person who has been thirsty in the desert for a long time longs for an oasis, or a person who has been hungry for a long time longs for food.

Xie Jinzhao was not used to this kind of intimacy with a man, and she struggled instinctively.

Ling Jinglan's voice was hoarse, "Jinzhao, let me hold you for a while, I want to hug you!"

Xie Jinzhao pushed him away and took two steps back, "Ling Jinglan, are you crazy? I am the Princess of Zhuang. If someone sees me, will I still be able to live?"

His arms felt empty and he felt an uncontrollable sense of loss. Ling Jinglan's arms still contained the fragrance and warmth of Xie Jinzhao's body. Her words cut his heart like a knife.

She is the Princess of Zhuang and can only be intimate with Prince Zhuang. What she did with Ling Jinglan was unfaithful to her husband.

"If he did this, would you resist?" Ling Jinglan asked painfully.

Xie Jinzhao turned around and faced away from him. She felt a little amused but couldn't answer.

Xie Jinzhao's silence seemed like a tacit agreement. Ling Jinglan was extremely frustrated, with pain in his eyes. He didn't know how to hate himself.

"The person you like in your heart is me, right? Then why...are you willing to let him hug you?" Ling Jinglan felt that he was really crazy. In this world, the only person who was jealous of him was probably a madman like him.

Xie Jinzhao looked at him in disbelief, "I was going to marry Lu Changyuan before. If this accident hadn't happened, I might have had children with him."

In her previous life, she was so blind that she actually fell in love with Lu Changyuan. She was lovesick all her life and ended up dying herself, taking Ling Jinglan's life with her.

"No, you are not allowed to marry anyone else!" Ling Jinglan grabbed her shoulders and said stubbornly, "You can only marry me!"

"But I'm going to marry King Zhuang!" Xie Jinzhao raised his eyebrows and looked at him, unable to resist teasing him, "The imperial decree has been issued, am I going to disobey it? Besides, only King Zhuang can help me get revenge. If we assist King Zhuang, then in the future... it won't be difficult for him to trample over Southern Chen."

Well, King Zhuang cannot die yet.

He cannot die. Jin Zhao doesn't know that he is Ling Qingchen. If he dies, what will happen if Jin Zhao no longer lives?

This really blocked all his paths.

It was getting late, and Xie Jinzhao was about to leave, but Ling Jinglan grabbed her and said, "Wait!"

Xie Jinzhao looked at him puzzledly.

"When you left the city just now, Lu Changyuan and the Dou family already knew about it. I was worried that they would intercept you halfway, so I sent you back."

Xie Jinzhao pressed his hand down, "No need, I left the city just waiting for this opportunity."

If things go as expected, this time the Dou family should send Dou Zhonghong to take action.

There are four brothers in the Dou family. The eldest, Dou Mengshen, is good at calculating. The second, Dou Zhonghong, is proficient in martial arts. The third, Dou Shuxun, is devoted to business. The fourth, Dou Jizhou, is young and studies at the Imperial Academy. He plans to take over Dou Yi's team in the future.

Before dying in her previous life, Ling Jinglan was willing to surrender, hoping only that they would let her go. It was Dou Zhonghong who shot the first arrow, hitting Ling Jinglan in the back. Until now, the feeling of his body trembling can still be felt from her back.

After two lifetimes, the faint smell of blood still lingered in her nose.

The eldest son of the Dou family has become disabled and is now barely surviving. If the second son is also disabled, Dou Yi will be equivalent to losing two arms. She won't have to be so afraid when she goes to Southern Shu.

If Ling Jinglan also follows, his fighting power is very high and the Dou family may not be willing to take action.

"Be careful!" Ling Jinglan was very worried, but he also knew that Xie Jinzhao didn't want intensive care. She was an eagle with spread wings, chasing the pleasure of soaring into the sky.

When Dou Jinzhao came out of the gate of Fengye Tinghai, Dou Zhonghong had already received the news that they were lying in ambush in Jialin, three miles in front of the city gate.

Cao Zhuo, the right general who led the Jianzhang Cavalry Camp, was a disciple of Duke Dingguo. Without Lu Changyuan's tacit consent, Dou Zhonghong would not have been able to ambush here.

Xie Jinzhao knew it very well.

There were eight riders in total. Xie Jinzhao led the way in hunting clothes. The peach blossom mask on her face emitted a cold light. The Overlord Spear was held across the front of the horse. When they entered the middle of the forest, a light flashed in Xie Jinzhao's eyes, and a feather arrow shot towards her face.

The white silk was in the air, and after it knocked the cold arrow down, it extended forward with irresistible force. With a thud, the assassin who was hiding in the middle of the tree branch and shooting the cold arrow fell to the ground.

A small arrow shot out from the small crossbow on Yun Qing's arm. There was a muffled sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh, and a smell of blood spread in the air.

The fighting begins.

Bai Lian climbed on the tree, and Xie Jinzhao rushed towards the direction of the enemy's ambush like a hawk. He swept his spear across, like poking a hornet's nest, and the Dou family's assassins who were ambushing in the dark swarmed out.

The cold light left a residual image in the air, and the fierce murderous aura swept across everything.

No one dared to challenge his edge.

Without any hesitation, Dou Zhonghong pushed off the tree trunk with his hind feet and rushed towards Xie Jinzhao. The spear and sword collided, sparks flew out, and Xie Jinzhao's flexible body paused in the air. Bai Lian pulled her to swing to another tree trunk, while Dou Zhonghong's body was thrown backwards violently. If it were not for the support of the tree trunk behind him, he would have fallen to the ground.

He landed on the tree trunk, and Xie Jinzhao also fell from mid-air. The two were about ten steps apart.

They were once brothers and sisters, but now they have become enemies. No one has any extra emotions, and it seems that everything is natural.

"Xie Jinzhao, if you can give up going to the battlefield in Southern Shu, I can let you go for the sake of our past brotherly relationship." Dou Zhonghong clenched his sword tightly, fear showing in his eyes.

Just now, the fight between the two was a test of each other.

Cao Zhen is in charge of the battlefield of Southern Shu, and all parties want to add people to it. Once Southern Shu wins, all parties want to get a piece of the pie.

Lu Changyuan has prepared Dou Zhonghong, and Prince Zhuang has already recommended him and his wife to the emperor. In fact, everyone knows that the person Prince Zhuang prefers is Xie Jinzhao.

For both public and private reasons, Dou Zhonghong will not let Xie Jinzhao go.

"Dou Zhonghong, there's a saying that goes 'die before accomplishing one's mission', that's exactly what it means to be you!" Xie Jinzhao pointed the tip of his gun at Dou Zhonghong, with a fierce fighting spirit, and rushed towards him like a gale.
