"Actually, you have lied to me for a long time. However, one of your foolish actions just now exposed your identity. It was you who actually placed this piece of paper in my royal study." Xuanyuan Zhiling said in a bland voice, each word carrying a sense of ridicule.

Qiu Shangjing laughed bitterly when he heard it, "For the emperor to suspect me just because of this, the emperor is truly extraordinary." Qiu Shangjing said with a taunting tone.

Xuanyuan Zhiling coldly laughed when he heard this. In his heart, Xuanyuan Zhiling also couldn't believe that the traitor was actually the Qiu Shangjing who had always been giving advice to him. When this name flashed past Xuanyuan Zhiling's mind, he felt as if his heart was about to break. But Xuanyuan Zhiling had never been an emotional person, he knew what he had to do.

"Hmph, since it's like this, then I'll tell you straight out. I was originally Xuanyuan Mocheng's spy who had been by your side from the start. Are you satisfied now?" Qiu Shangjing said with a complicated expression. When Xuanyuan Mocheng heard this, his expression immediately became ugly.

Xuanyuan Zhiling stared intently at Qiu Shangjing's face and said: "You really deserve to die, but we won't let you die. We will torture you slowly until you are physically and emotionally exhausted! When Xuanyuan Mocheng said this, his face quickly revealed a sinister look.

"I just didn't think I'd arouse your suspicions just by sending you a note. You must have suspected me for a long time right? " Qiu Shangjing stared deadly at Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling immediately laughed, but that smile was obviously meant to ridicule Qiu Shangjing.

"We truly feel that you are very pitiful right now. Ever since the last time Xuanyuan Mocheng appeared in front of us, we knew that he faked his death when we tried to force him into our palace. From that moment on, we already knew that you were a traitor, but we never expected that you would be foolish enough to issue a challenge to us!"

As Xuanyuan Mocheng said this, a gloomy look quickly flashed across his face as he ordered, "Men, please receive Master Qiu right now. Remember to torture him to death in his cell, but do not let Master Qiu die, otherwise we will punish you for your offense!"

When Xuanyuan Mocheng said this, the guards suppressed Qiu Shangjing and left the royal study room.

"Xuanyuan Zhiling, your mountains are no longer preserved! Your rivers and mountains are no longer preserved! "Hahaha …" Even after Qiu Shangjing left, he did not give up. However, Xuanyuan Zhiling could clearly hear Qiu Shangjing's crying voice.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed softly. He did not expect that the person he trusted in a single match would actually be a real bastard, it was actually an informant planted by Xuanyuan Mocheng's side.

Xuanyuan Zhiling picked up the piece of paper from the table. It was written clearly that Qin Feng was in the hands of Xuanyuan Mocheng and Song Mingzhi.

Remembering the day when Qin Feng had left with a face filled with despair when she was bestowed the title of Queen, Xuanyuan Zhiling tightly clenched his fists. This time, even if he had to go through all sorts of hardships, he would still want to find and bring Qin Feng back.

Even if Qin Feng really didn't love him, he had to get to the bottom of this matter. He had to listen to what Qin Feng had personally said to him. When she thought of this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes quickly flashed with a trace of light. He realized that Xuanyuan Mocheng definitely had another goal behind throwing this piece of paper in.

Thinking up to here, Xuanyuan Zhiling coldly laughed, a complicated expression quickly flashing across his face.

"If anyone dares to speak of this matter today, we will make them suffer a fate even worse than Qiu Shangjing's!"

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his eyes quickly flashed a killing intent that would send chills down the spine of anyone. Xiao Linzi, who was standing behind him, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

The matter of the note was suppressed by Xuanyuan Zhiling, and Qiu Shangjing who was aware of it was caught, Xuanyuan Zhiling saw through Xuanyuan Mocheng's trick, and this time, Xuanyuan Zhiling chose to take the initiative.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to the Black Butterfly Villa? But will that Song Mingzhi let you see the empress? " From what I see, this Song Mingzhi must be working with Xuanyuan Mocheng again. Xiao Linzi said with a face full of suspicion, his expression carrying traces of speculation.

Hearing Xiao Linzi's words, Xuanyuan Zhiling gave a shallow smile and said: "If Xuanyuan Mocheng does not join hands with Song Mingzhi, then they are not Xuanyuan Mocheng and Song Mingzhi. The two of them have been together for more than a day." Xuanyuan Zhiling said with ridicule between his brows.

However, at this moment, Qin Feng was standing in the garden of Black Butterfly Villa after the rain, the soil here had become even more fragrant after being baptized by the rain, and the fragrance of the earth, along with the faint fragrance of flowers, caused Qin Feng to be involuntarily reminded of the Queen's rear garden.

I still remember that time, Xuanyuan Zhiling grew up to accompany Qin Feng in the rear garden to admire the flowers, but later on, Xuanyuan Zhiling became busier and busier, more and more lacking of time.

"Xuanyuan Zhiling, do you know how much I miss you? You scoundrel, why did you have to be so heartless towards me, Shanghai? " Qin Feng cursed in a low voice. Right now, whenever Qin Feng mentioned the name, her heart couldn't help but spasm from the pain.

But Qin Feng didn't notice that at this moment, Song Mingzhi had already been standing behind her for a long time.

At this time, Song Mingzhi seemed to have understood why Xuanyuan Mocheng had given up on him. The reason was actually very simple, because Xuanyuan Mocheng clearly understood that even after a hundred years, the position in his heart would still not be able to compare to Xuanyuan Zhiling's.

Song Mingzhi could not help but let out a bitter laugh. He did not expect himself to actually fail like this.

"Qin Feng, what are you thinking?" Even though she had already heard Qin Feng's words, Song Mingzhi still tried her best to keep a smile on her face, because Song Mingzhi did not want to make things difficult for him.

Qin Feng turned around and saw that it was Song Mingzhi. There wasn't the slightest bit of surprise on her face.

"It's nothing, I was just taking advantage of the air to take a stroll." Qin Feng's tone was neither strong nor light, it was as if she was not interested in Song Mingzhi at all. Seeing Qin Feng's cold expression, Song Mingzhi softly sighed.

"Actually, I came here to tell you that Liu Yue is dead." Song Mingzhi's heart trembled slightly when he said this. After all, Liu Yue was the mother of his own child, and now that the child was no more and Liu Yue was dead, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Hearing this, Qin Feng laughed bitterly, wasn't Liu Yue the current empress? She still remembered that day when Xuanyuan Zhiling appeared in front of him, hugging Liu Yue tightly.

Looking at his satisfied expression, he seemed to love Liu Yue a lot. Now that Liu Yue had died, Xuanyuan Zhiling should be in deep grief right? Would the current Xuanyuan Zhiling still remember the existence of a Qin Feng?

Qin Feng felt that she was extremely sad. For a moment, Qin Feng started to doubt whether Xuanyuan Zhiling had loved him from the beginning, so whether she picked it up or put it down was as easy as lifting a stick.

"He should be dead sad by now, right?" Qin Feng could not help but ask, but the moment she said that, Qin Feng regretted it, because if Qin Feng asked something like that, it proved that she still cared about Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Song Mingzhi laughed bitterly after hearing that. "Perhaps, Liu Yue is also a bitter person. She doesn't have any children, and only wants to get Xuanyuan Zhiling, but now she doesn't even have her life." He wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but it seemed that Qin Feng's voice carried traces of heartache.

In the serene deep gorge, Xuanyuan Zhiling disregarded the objections of the crowd and decisively rushed to the Black Butterfly Villa, all the way while riding on his horse, his mind constantly flashed with the image of Qin Feng hugging him that day with tears in her eyes.

As long as Xuanyuan Zhiling thought of the tears, his heart would feel pain.

"Your majesty, there's no need for you to be in such a hurry. We can take a rest, or else your dragon body won't be able to withstand the pressure." This time, Xiao Linzi also came out. Of course, Qin Chen and Xiao Lian also came out as well, they only wanted to bring Qin Feng back to the Imperial Palace from the Black Butterfly Villa smoothly.

Very quickly, the group arrived at the gates to the Black Butterfly Villa, and this time, the one who came out to see them was still Song Mingzhi.

"Why are you here again? Your empress is dead, and your imperial harem has no one left to look for Qin Feng? " Song Mingzhi's face carried a dense amount of ridicule, which looked very unpleasing to the eye. Xuanyuan Zhiling naturally did not have a good expression when he saw Song Mingzhi.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sneered, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.

"The last time we came to Black Butterfly Villa, you told us that Qin Feng did not want to see us, and we fell into your trap. When I thought about it later on, maybe Qin Feng's real intentions were still unknown, so this time, we personally came here to see Qin Feng."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said with determination.

"Hmph, I advise you to go back quickly in case your heart gets hurt again. Qin Feng has already agreed to marry me, do you think you have even the slightest chance of that?" Song Mingzhi continued to weave the same lie as last time, his expression was calm and relaxed, as if he was really going to get married soon.

Xuanyuan Zhiling's face immediately became unsightly after hearing his explanation.

"What did you say?" How could Qin Feng marry you? "I forbid it!" In Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart, Qin Feng had always belonged to him. When had Qin Feng ever had the right to marry someone else? Xuanyuan Zhiling couldn't understand, how did things turn out like this?

After hearing Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, Song Mingzhi burst out laughing, as if he had heard the most interesting joke.

"You don't allow it? You no longer have the right to control Qin Feng anymore, so don't forget that you no longer have any relation to him. "

Song Mingzhi's words had completely awakened Xuanyuan Zhiling. That's right, he no longer had anything to do with Qin Feng, he removed his position as Empress Qin Feng, causing Qin Feng to not even be able to become a concubine.

The air seemed to have been sucked dry. Only now did Xuanyuan Zhiling understand that in his heart, he had always thought of Qin Feng as a trophy that he would never leave.

He had always felt that Qin Feng's heart was his, even if the sky was falling, Qin Feng would never leave him, but this time, he realised that she was wrong. Qin Feng had nothing to do with him, nothing to do with him anymore …

This was such a terrifying sentence, and it no longer mattered. It meant that Qin Feng had flown away from his side, and from then on, he no longer had any reason nor any excuse to command Qin Feng to return to his side.

"Yes, she doesn't belong to me anymore, but can you be sure that she belongs to you?" Xuanyuan Zhiling stared deadly at Song Mingzhi, Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that this fellow was cunning, maybe this time he was lying in front of him.

Song Mingzhi heard this and laughed: "That's my problem, it has nothing to do with you, Qin Feng marrying me is Qin Feng's freedom, do you really think you can control everything?" Song Mingzhi said with a cold face.

"Alright, since that's the case, then let Qin Feng come out and see me. I want to ask Qin Feng in front of him whether he really wants her to marry you!" Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a complicated expression.

"Now that Qin Feng is inside the Black Butterfly Villa, if she doesn't want to come out and see you, I have no other choice. I suggest that you quickly leave this place, and not wait for Qin Feng to come out and reject you before leaving." Song Mingzhi said, he turned and was about to walk in, but he found Qin Feng at the door.
