Chapter 6, Submission

In the springtime blossoms, the fourteen-year-old princess is playing with her maidservants. She has a round and beautiful face, with snow-white skin, and at first glance, she is a sight to behold

Song Lin remained calm and composed, not dodging or evading, "Whether the truth is sincere or not depends on Your Highness's temperament and abilities"

She stood quietly, like a specter in the long, dark night

Shen Hao was greatly angered upon hearing this, but he was always stern and managed to suppress his inner fury. He said in a deep voice: "Although His Highness Baojin is young, he is by no means an insignificant figure. Given time, he will surely be able to overthrow the false emperor and restore the rightful authority"

Song Lin bit her lip slightly, turned around and left, but only left behind a single sentence

This statement is simply amusing

What does it matter if it is against one's conscience, and what does it matter if it is the truth

That is not mere seduction, but a profound and unfathomable darkness, as if it could draw in the hearts of men

The sharp blade of the sword rested against Song Lin's neck, the chill seeping into his throat

It is merely a pleasing sight

Sir Shen, you need not persuade me further. As the saying goes, everyone has their own aspirations. I am weary of this bloody turmoil and simply wish to live the latter half of my life in peace, with books—such a simple request is not too much to ask, is it

If my sister were here, with just a glance, countless admirers would surely follow her...

He was momentarily stunned, forcing himself to circulate his energy, and only then did he awaken from his dazed state, astonished and unable to contain himself

She smiled bitterly, recalling the scene from four years ago when she left the capital; at that time, she was only fifteen years old

Bao Jin smiled faintly and pointed to the front of his residence. Song Lin pondered for a moment and couldn't help but shiver.

Shen Hao said in a deep voice

As soon as the last word left her lips, she gracefully departed through the window like a feathered crane from the depths of the abyss

If it is against your will, I do not mind if you hesitate a bit longer, after all, this is a matter of great importance that could lead to the destruction of a family... If it is indeed the truth

What of it? Within ten days, it is necessary to have others lose their heads

Song Lin, unwilling to concede defeat, raised his eyes to meet the gaze, yet inwardly, a wave of anxiety surged through him. That fleeting glance felt like a heavy drumbeat echoing in his heart, causing it to skip a beat in discomfort.

Xu Ji? He is indeed a prominent minister of the Xin Dynasty

And then? Should she be left to die in solitude like the master?

Baojin glanced at him and said, "What will you do then?"

However, in just four years, such a significant change has occurred. This Prince Baojin, what exactly is ... ...

She knew that her internal energy had been excessively depleted, so she could only lean against the wall to stand. After circulating her energy for a round, she felt slightly better, but her entire body was already soaked with cold sweat

Song Lin sneered and said: "I am loyal to the sovereign, not to any royal family. I have met Princess Baojin a few times, but she is merely a delicate young lady. You insist on elevating her to lead this restoration and rebellion, are you not afraid that the sovereign will find no peace even in the afterlife?"

Amidst the flickering light and shadow, a pair of deep-set eyes can be seen, their gaze exuding a clear and graceful charm, revealing an enchanting allure that is distinctly captivating.

The master of this building has a deep connection with the previous generation of the sovereign, speaking here is as secure as it can be

In the emerald-hued building, the elegant room's lamp, rarely lit, shone brilliantly, illuminating the space as if it were broad daylight. The maid glided through the crowd, setting down twenty-four exquisite dishes, and then quietly withdrew.

The footsteps stopped at the door, and Shen Hao saw his hesitation. He then said: "The founding emperor of this dynasty once had the incident of angrily beheading a white snake; this is indeed a heavenly omen"

She murmured

If my sister saw me looking this disheveled, she would surely laugh herself to death

What Song Qing said today ... ... is it insincere, or is it the truth

Song Lin gazed in the direction she had departed, still feeling somewhat perplexed and uncertain

The night breeze brought a refreshing chill, and at this moment, her internal energy was exhausted, causing her body to involuntarily shiver.

Shen Hao said lightly, glancing at the person across the table, he couldn't help but frown and said: "At present, the new dynasty has just been established. If you hope for wealth and glory, you may as well let go. However, the power in your hands comes from the sovereign, not solely from yourself"

In that case, you should take a good look

If it is indeed the truth, then there is absolutely no turning back

Your Highness Baojin

If Your Highness can truly achieve this, I shall certainly return to your side and serve you diligently.

Baojin stopped at the corner of the alley, feeling a surge of blood and energy within, and a wave of dizziness washed over him, reminiscent of the day he fought and killed the dragon in the sea

Indeed, it is still too weak

With a resolute clarity, the girl's voice, though low, carried a tremendous sense of pressure

In order to subdue Song Lin, she had no choice but to utilize all her potential. Although it could only be maintained for a brief period, it still left him feeling that she was profound and inscrutable

That person, in his thirties, possesses striking features and an elegant demeanor. He sits casually, and although his voice is rather plain, upon closer listening, it still contains undertones of sarcasm.

The low voice, though close at hand, seemed to come from the heavens above, carrying an unparalleled and awe-inspiring majesty

The crimson flames illuminated the girl before me, making her glow with a dazzling brilliance. She was pale and slender, her snow-white face nearly transparent, yet her deep, dark eyes appeared even more striking.

Stop! A year ago, we went to assist, and His Highness Baojin slayed a dragon in the East China Sea

It is unclear how long he has slept; he only hears the slight movement of the window frame as the cold wind gently enters. His sleep is very light, and as he slightly opens his eyes, he sees the flickering of the candlelight in front of the bed, where a slender figure is immersed within.

This is Song Lin, the Minister of Revenue, who stands firm amidst the old and new dynasties, yet remains unshaken.

The sword's light flickered under the lamp, and then it returned to silence

Due to the dazzling brilliance of her elder sister, Baojin is not well-known among people. Among the old ministers in the court, those who have seen her can be counted on one hand, yet Song Lin fortuitously encountered her in the Imperial Garden by chance.

Shen Hao could no longer afford to be discreet and spoke in a low voice.

In a flash of snow light, Song Lin felt a chill at his throat, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself completely unrestrained

Song Lin returned to his residence, without calling for his family or concubines, and sat alone in the study. After the hour of Zi had passed, he let out a deep sigh and returned to his bedroom

No matter how eloquently you speak, I will not participate ... ... The capital has already shed too much blood ... ...

A word is a promise

Song Lin coldly mocked, rose from the table with a flick of his sleeve, no longer paying attention to the piercing gaze behind him, and stepped forward to push the door open and leave

The sovereign has entrusted you with such power, but it is not for you to live in peace.

The voice was faint, yet carried an insincere sorrow and desolation; at this moment, downstairs, the songs of orioles were resounding, amidst the clinking of cups and the mingling of guests, a scene of joy and tranquility.

I see...

She gave a faint, bitter smile
