Is the target of the strategy darkened? Then die again

Xu Linghe was so busy this month that he never touched the ground, but every three days he would go under the sycamore and banyan tree to see Qin Yili for a moment before leaving quietly.

He knew that his whereabouts could not be hidden from Qin Yili.

I never thought of hiding it from him.

He had prepared these a long time ago, but he could never find the opportunity, or in other words, he had not made up his mind for a long time.

now--

Xu Linghe looked at the faces of those who believed in him, and his heart was covered with nameless anxiety. Can he bear the fate of these people on his body?

Such thoughts force me to ask myself all the time.

Listening to the discussion about the next itinerary, Xu Linghe looked absently in the direction of the sycamore and banyan tree.

"Your Highness?"

"Your Highness!"

The sound in his ears brought Xu Linghe back to his senses: "What?"

"It's time." Rong Anjia reminded in a deep voice.

"..."

Xu Linghe glanced in the direction of the sycamore and banyan tree for the last time, then turned around without hesitation: "Let's go!"

The white-haired young man standing under the sycamore banyan tree looked at his hands with emotion.

There are chains on it that humans cannot see.

This chain locked his ability, and the connection point was in the land of Jiangling.

If you want to break free from it, unless Jiangling is destroyed, or——

The Jiangling royal family died in his hands.

It was just that the person who imprisoned him at the time placed a ban on him.

The people of the Jiangling royal family were not disturbed by his bloodline, and he was not allowed to do anything to the royal family.

The sacrifices held every ten years were not to pray to heaven, but to connect him more closely with Jiangling and strengthen the contract.

Jiang Ling's faith in him was not what it was a thousand years ago, and the interrupted sacrifices had loosened the contract a bit, but it was still far from enough for him to take action.

Wait a minute.

A child does not live for more than a hundred years.

A hundred years later, with half his life, he should be able to break the taboo.

……

When Emperor Jiangling once again looked for reasons to punish Xu Linghe, he ignored the order, and Rong Anjia surrounded the main hall with his soldiers.

"Xu Linghe! Do you want to rebel?!" The emperor stared at him angrily!

The kneeling Xu Linghe stood up slowly, his handsome face not concealing his hatred at all: "Rebellion? What crime did the emperor prepare to send his son to death row? Is it for having sex with the concubines in the palace? Or secretly? Colluding with ministers?”

He looked at the emperor mockingly: "In that case, why not ask my son to give you a crime in advance?"

The emperor did not expect that Xu Linghe, who had always been submissive, would suddenly rebel.

"How dare you! Come here! Put this evildoer in jail!!"

"..."

Rong Anjia walked up to Xu Linghe and knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, General Si has sent an urgent report. The millions of troops on the border are all supported by Your Highness."

The generals guarding the city of Jiangling and Kyoto also knelt down: "I am also willing to listen to His Highness's orders!"

Even the generals from the nearby towns knelt down.

This awe-inspiring momentum made other civil servants in the palace understand that all the generals and soldiers are now returning to His Highness the Crown Prince. They belong to the Crown Prince. Although it is unreasonable to ascend the throne in advance, it is also expected by everyone.

Seeing the civil and military ministers kneeling down, the emperor's face turned blue: "Rebellion! You are all rebelling, right! Come here, drag them all down and kill them all! Kill them all——!"

He has long lost the support of the people, and even the veterans who used to support him feel chilled by his actions over the years.

Xu Linghe stood among the people who were kneeling. He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the man who had great talent and sagacity in his childhood memories: "Father, you will be the emperor of Jiangling, and you will not change it until you die."

The people who followed him looked at him in astonishment.

No one knew he would make such a decision.

Xu Linghe didn't care about other people's opinions, and just told Rong Anjia: "From now on, I will still call you His Royal Highness the Prince."

"……Yes."

Concubine Li in the harem did not expect that Xu Linghe would suddenly rebel.

So much so that she didn't have time to implement many of her plans.

Even if you want to send a message, it is impossible.

She was controlled inside the palace.

Soon, Concubine Li saw Xu Linghe walking in from outside.

After suppressing the panic in her heart, Concubine Li leaned softly on the soft couch, her eyes captivating: "Your Highness the Crown Prince...or should I address you as Your Majesty?"

Xu Linghe ignored her.

His eyes fell on her belly.

Concubine Li put her hands on her belly regardless of disguise, her eyes full of wariness towards him: "What do you want to do? Do you want to murder the emperor's heir?!"

"I really don't know whether I should call you stupid, or do you think I am a soft-hearted person?" Xu Linghe sneered.

"..."

Concubine Li bit her lower lip tightly.

How could she not know that Xu Linghe dared to rebel, and that she and her child would have no way to survive, but... this child was her only hope...

Concubine Li, who had always been proud, knelt in front of Xu Linghe.

"Please spare his life. I am sorry for you. If you have any hatred, just vent it on me. I have no complaints. I just ask you to let this child go."

"My mother-in-law..."

Concubine Li immediately took out the things she had hidden for a long time: "These are the items that the late Queen left for you when she passed away. I did not damage them when I found them."

Originally she wanted to destroy these, but for some reason she suddenly stopped.

His mother-in-law was killed by the emperor on unfounded charges because of her family's outstanding achievements. However, his mother-in-law did not deserve to die, but chose to die because she wanted to protect him.

Although Concubine Li had nothing to do with the original incident, she had done many evil things over the years, and Xu Linghe should not have let her go.

But watching her plead for her child reminded him of his mother.

He did not attack Concubine Li, took away the things left by his mother and left the palace.

Even though he knows that this is letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Xu Linghe returned to the abandoned palace of the late Queen.

He stayed inside and looked at the things left behind by his mother for a long time.

……

The next day.

Xu Linghe who came out of it was no longer the same as before, his whole person had a sharp aura as if he had been reborn.

During this half month, he handled the palace affairs.

The emperor has become a decoration, and everyone knows that it is the prince who supervises the country.

No matter how angry he was, it was of no use. Concubine Li, who had been instructed by him, comforted her with gentle words and did not know what was discussed, and finally calmed down.

By the time these are taken care of, the time for sacrifice is approaching.

Xu Linghe, who passed through countless pavilions and corridors, stopped and looked at the person standing under the sycamore and banyan tree not far away.

He still stood quietly with his eyes closed.

It was as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.

That's how it should be.

It was other people's greed and selfishness that imprisoned him here.

"You came."

The fatigue of these days dissipated instantly when she heard his voice. Xu Linghe raised a slight smile: "Well, I'm back."

He should be soaring in the sky, how could he be restrained in the mortal world.
