It is not only a natural sign, but also a prelude to the undercurrent in the court.
At this moment, a man wearing a green gown hurriedly entered the study. He was Zhou Xing's confidant - Li Shen. Li Shen's face was solemn, and he held a secret report in his hand: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation.
"The voice was low and urgent, revealing the seriousness of the situation.
Zhou Xing received the secret report and quickly scanned the contents on the paper. It turned out that there was another small-scale conflict on the northern border. Although it had not turned into a large-scale war, it was enough to attract attention from both inside and outside the country. What made Zhou Xing even more alarmed was that this
Ling Xue's name was mentioned in this report, and she seemed to have unknown actions in the border area.
The doubts in his heart were like boiling lava, making it difficult for Zhou Xing to calm down his anger.

In the dead of night, Zhou Xing walked alone on the corridor, his footsteps echoing in the empty palace. His heart was filled with complex emotions: anger, doubt, and loss intertwined. He knew that he must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise
This undercurrent may push him into the abyss.
In the garden of the palace, the flowers are blooming and the fragrance is astonishing. But in this beautiful scenery, Zhou Xing's mood is as complicated as a mess. He is sitting in the pavilion, playing with an exquisite jade pendant in his hand.
This was the object of love for Lingxue back then. Now it seems that it is more like a symbol of a past that cannot be turned back.
Just as Zhou Xing was deep in thought, a woman in elegant clothes slowly approached. She was one of the female officials in the palace, named Su Waner, and she was also Zhou Xing's close friend. Su Waner's arrival broke Zhou Xing's mind

Su Waner sat opposite Zhou Xing and said softly: "Your Majesty, the human heart is made of flesh, how can you just let it go? But you also know that some things cannot be changed. Maybe you should look forward,
Give yourself a chance to start over." Her words were gentle but powerful, like a warm current that warmed Zhou Xing's cold heart.
Zhou Xing listened to Su Waner's words silently, and the entanglement in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that she was right, he could not always live in the shadow of the past. But letting go did not mean forgetting, the pain was still unforgettable. He needed
Time heals inner wounds, and it also takes courage to face the unknown future.
When the autumn wind blows, the fallen leaves are flying, and the streets and alleys of the capital are filled with a bleak atmosphere. At this moment of seasonal change, Zhou Xing's mood is as difficult to calm down as the falling leaves. He received an anonymous letter, in which
A shocking secret is revealed: the real reason why Ling Xue broke off the engagement was not as simple as he imagined.
The letter stated that Ling Xue left him because she was forced to be involved in a political conspiracy. In order to maintain his status and the safety of the family, her father, the Minister of Rites, did not hesitate to sacrifice his daughter's happiness in exchange for this news.

Reaching out his hand, he gently wiped away the tears on Ling Xue's cheek: "Let us face the future together."
Ling Xue nodded and replied softly: "Yes, I am Ling Xue. Who are you..."
"I am Zhou Xing, the prince of Yin State." Zhou Xing introduced himself, his eyes shining with wisdom.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had known each other for a long time. From this moment on, their fates were closely linked, and together they wrote a legendary story.
