Rebirth Against the Sky: Daughter of a Black Belly

Qingluan's face was cold, his brows were slightly frowned because of disappointment, but there was no trace of panic on his face.

Shangguan Hui's eyes were so dark that Qingluan couldn't detect her true emotions at this moment.

"I never doubt your sincerity to me. It's just Qingluan, I can't give my trust to someone I can't fully grasp, can you understand what I mean?"

Qingluan stared at Shangguanhui for a moment, then suddenly knelt down on the ground on one knee, "To tell you the truth, before I was recruited as the female guard of the prime minister's mansion, I was a secret guard under the prince, and I specialized in helping the prince collect Information from all sides."

"You mean the prince?"

"To be precise, I worked for her before the current Majesty took the throne, when he was still the crown prince."

Shangguanhui nodded, no wonder Qingluan knew most of the dignitaries in Beijing.It's just that Qingluan used to work under Feng Zheliang, so why has she never seen her?

This is not surprising.Although she was Feng Zheliang's wife, he never let her touch such dark things.She also suspected that Feng Zheliang avoided everything because she didn't trust herself.Later, when he was assassinated and nearly lost his life, he finally revealed the truth to her.

He said that he was born in the royal family, and endless battles were his inescapable fate.He said he was tired of all this and didn't want her to be a part of this bloody dark world.He also said that marrying her is to make her happy and give her the best life in the world, not to make her worry about him all day long...

"Miss, why are you... crying?"

Inadvertently seeing crystal tears on her face, Qingluan asked with some hesitation.

"Crying? Did I cry?"

Shangguan Hui wiped her face carelessly with her hands, and when her fingers touched the cold teardrops, she finally had to admit: Yes, she cried.

She wiped away the tears on her face, walked back to the bed as if nothing had happened, and sat down on the edge, still looking at Qingluan who was kneeling on the ground and didn't get up immediately.

"Let me ask you, since you were once under the crown prince, why did you switch to my Xiangfu later? Wouldn't it be more promising to stay by the emperor's side?"

"Oh, Future?" Her words seemed to touch the deepest pain in Qingluan's heart, she sneered, her eyes suddenly became cold and wild.

"Actually, I had expected it a long time ago: how could the emperor leave us who knew so many secrets about him? On the night of the third day after he succeeded to the throne, he suddenly sent a team of elite guards to surround a courtyard where we usually rest. The imperial guards kept saying that in the name of the emperor, they wanted to kill us all in the name of 'rebellious party'. I will never forget that night, one of my companions wanted to go out to fight against the enemy when I put on my clothes knocked me out and hid me under the bed. Because of this, I escaped unharmed. But my companion..."

Qingluan seemed to be enduring great sorrow, her voice was trembling, "They all died under the Imperial Forest Saber, and none of them survived."

Shangguan Hui sighed lightly, with a clear expression on his face.Rabbit dead dog cooking, this is the most used trick of the royal family?Indeed, as Qingluan said, they knew too many secrets about that person, so they were 'killed'.But this is the person who pretended to be Feng Zheliang, his choice, his approach.She couldn't help thinking, if he was the real one, would he still kill those who had pledged their allegiance to him?
