The cold wind howled that night, chilling Cheng Shaoshang to the bone. It felt as if she were standing on the road to the underworld, covered in red spider lilies, with Ling Buyi, so close yet so far, standing at the end. He was heartbreakingly handsome, yet so unfamiliar it made her shudder.
Cheng Shaoshang had already suspected Ling Buyi’s true identity, but she was still a step too late, watching helplessly as he headed toward a point of no return. Because of the blood feud against the Man tribe, Ling Buyi had to seek revenge. The reason he chose to act before the wedding was precisely because he didn’t want to implicate the entire Cheng family.
His actions today left no room for retreat; he was ready to die and swore that he and Cheng Shaoshang would never see each other again. As soon as he finished speaking, the Left General rushed in to arrest Ling Buyi. Soldiers surrounded the area, and even Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shi were captured by the Left General. Ling Buyi walked out alone, and an arrow shot toward him like a startled swan.
At that moment, the Liang brothers knocked down the Left General, and Cheng Shaoshang arrived on horseback, grabbed Ling Buyi, and galloped away with him. But even so, Cheng Shaoshang still reached a dead end. In front of them was a cliff, and behind them, relentless soldiers pursued. Cheng Shaoshang was willing to live or die with Ling Buyi. But unexpectedly, Ling Buyi’s expression suddenly changed. The grief, sorrow, and reluctance from before disappeared.
What replaced it was a final, irreversible farewell. When Cheng Shaoshang realized what had happened, Ling Buyi had already fallen off the cliff. Before losing consciousness, she vaguely saw vines clinging to the edge. Fortunately, Cheng Shaoshang was not seriously harmed—it was merely overwhelming grief that caused her to faint. The Third Prince suddenly brought people to the Cheng residence, demanding that Cheng Shaoshang enter the palace and plead for Ling Buyi.
Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shi stepped forward to stop them, and the two sides were at a standoff until Cheng Shaoshang gradually regained consciousness. The events of last night flashed through her mind like a lantern show. The Third Prince's appearance meant Ling Buyi was still alive. After careful consideration, she decided to enter the palace and face the Emperor. If she couldn’t save Ling Buyi, she was willing to trade her life for his.
On the way to the palace, Cheng Shaoshang learned from the Third Prince that he and Ling Buyi had known each other since childhood and were closer than he was with the Crown Prince. Back at the Yan Hui Tower, when Cheng Shaoshang overheard voices upstairs, she had thought there were only two people plotting. In reality, Ling Buyi had been there the entire time but had remained silent.
She later discovered this secret while caring for Ling Buyi and noticed he wore half of the jade pendant she had lost. In truth, Cheng Shaoshang didn’t care who became Crown Prince. After all, the people were innocent and pitiful—only a wise ruler could govern the world properly. What mattered was that Cheng Shaoshang no longer dared to trust Ling Buyi. A man who was both upright and secretive, bold yet meticulous, only made her feel more alienated.
Ling Buyi had once risked everything to save her, and now he could just as easily abandon her. The Third Prince thought Cheng Shaoshang was too calm and didn’t seem like a woman deeply in love with Ling Buyi. He scolded her for not understanding what it meant to live and die together or how care could lead to chaos.
Cheng Shaoshang retorted, mocking herself as a woman with no independence, constantly judged by society’s moral standards—clearly the one deceived and kept in the dark, yet still expected to be grateful and loyal. Hearing this, the Third Prince stopped pressing her and began to see her in a new light. Now, eighteen high-ranking officials had jointly submitted petitions, demanding that Ling Buyi be punished to uphold the law.
Cui You, who was supposed to be recovering at home, entered the palace to plead for Ling Buyi. However, patricide was a grave crime. Even though Yuan Shen and others wanted to defend him, they could find no grounds. The court was divided, and the debate continued into the afternoon. When the inner court summoned Cheng Shaoshang and the Third Prince into the hall, Cheng Shaoshang was calm and composed.
She noticed that Emperor Wen still held affection for Ling Buyi, so she boldly revealed that Ling Buyi was not Ling Yi’s son. This shocked the entire court. Lord Zuo was the first to question her, claiming it was merely Cheng Shaoshang’s word and not credible. To prove her statement, Cheng Shaoshang described a birthmark on Ling Buyi’s waist—something only those close to Emperor Wen would know.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen was overcome with emotion and immediately ordered people to rescue Ling Buyi from the cliff. Lord Zuo and the others wanted to continue pursuing the matter, but in the face of the Emperor’s wrath, the officials fell silent. With the matter concluded, the court session ended. The old ministers filed out, and the Third Prince stayed behind to thank Cheng Shaoshang.
She recalled how the Left General had tried to kill Ling Buyi last night without attempting to take him alive, which likely meant he would strike again. She warned the Third Prince to be cautious when retrieving Ling Buyi. Meanwhile, Ling Buyi hadn’t fallen off the cliff thanks to a bracelet Cheng Shaoshang had given him, which tangled in the vines. He endured the freezing cold, gradually losing consciousness.
