Chapter 56

Chapter 56: When the Alliance to Divide the World was Established (Part 3)

The night is slightly heavy, the summer insects are chirping.

On the pale blue canvas of the sky, the starlight is faint, like countless curious eyes peering into the world's 

splendor. They watch the jagged branches swaying hesitantly, see the fleeting shadows cast on the lightly closed 

window shutters, and observe the flickering candlelight projecting from the elegant rooms, a dance of light and 

shadow…

A soft exclamation faintly came from inside the house, and after a moment there was endless silence, which was 

very meaningful. The overlapping silhouettes in front of the window are very inspiring.

Night wind, sighing.

A slight snapping sound broke the silence in the room, and red tears quietly slid down the candle.

Dressed in a seductive red outfit that half-concealed his flawless figure, Cheng Tianyang leaned gently against 

Si Cang Qing, a captivating smile blooming at the corners of his lips. Tilting his head slightly, he softly gazed into 

Si Cang Qing's eyes, filled with springtime affection. One hand lightly rested on the other's shoulder, while the 

other, with a gentle yet deliberate touch, slowly wandered over Si Cang Qing's chest.

Si Cang Qing did not refuse this person's teasing behavior; he simply raised his hand to grip the person's wrist, 

silently stopping their audacity as that delicate hand was about to slip into his thin clothing.

The immediate result was that Cheng Tianyang's entire body leaned softly into Si Cang Qing's embrace. He didn't 

struggle, allowing the other person to hold his left hand. The right hand that had originally rested on Si Cang 

Qing's shoulder slowly moved down, tracing circles with his fingertips. 

Si Cang Qing frowned slightly, feeling a bit impatient, and raised his other hand to push away the person's 

meddling hand.

Cheng Tianyang's smile grew sweeter, his whole body pressed tightly against Si Cang Qing, their noses almost 

touching. Exhaling softly, he said, "Your Majesty, do you have a third hand to stop me?"

With a charming smile and a look of pride in his slightly narrowed eyes, Cheng Tianyang lowered his head and 

put his lips on Si Cang Qing's neck, licking it gently and moving slightly.

Si Cang Qing said coldly in his ear, "If you still want to negotiate with zhèn, don't anger zhèn again."

With a deep laugh, mellow and seductive, Cheng Tianyang suddenly opened his mouth and bit Si Cang Qing's 

neck, then quickly left, and broke free with a slight flip of his wrist.

"Your Majesty," Cheng Tianyang put his arms around Si Cang Qing's neck, his voice a little lazy, "Tianyang, 

how dare I fail your kindness!"

The voices, neither loud nor soft, linger in the empty night, bringing endless reverie.

Before the sound faded, Si Cang Qing raised his arm and suddenly picked up Cheng Tianyang horizontally. 

Cheng Tianyang's eyebrows raised, he exclaimed, and hugged the other person tightly with his arms.

The candlelight cast shadows of the two intertwined figures. Si Cang Qing carried the other person to the nearby 

bed, turned over, and got onto the bed. With a casual wave, the bed curtains fell, obscuring the infinite scenery 

inside. 

The thick bed curtains separated the outside world, and Si Cang Qing immediately released his hold and stepped 

back slightly.

Cheng Tianyang came closer, his voice smiling and his eyes full of charm, "Your Majesty, are you so afraid 

of me?"

Si Cang Qing replied indifferently, "Zhèn doesn't like it when others get close to zhèn."

"What should I do?" Smiling coquettishly, Cheng Tianyang's hands and feet tightly wrapped around Si Cang 

Qing like climbing vines, whispering in his ear, "This bed is very small, Your Majesty, please be patient!"

Si Cang Qing didn't say anything more, but just said lightly, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" From the 

moment he left the prince's mansion and got on the carriage, this person had been clinging to him tightly...

Although I don't like it, there are more important things to talk about at the moment.

Cheng Tianyang chuckled and touched well behaved Si Cang Qing's face in an unruly manner with one hand, 

tapping the small teardrop mole with his fingertips from time to time. He said, "No wonder the people of 

Cang Huan almost regard Your Majesty as a god. Tian Yang seems to have never expressed anything, but Your 

Majesty can guess what Tian Yang is thinking."

"It's really annoying," Cheng Tianyang said with a hint of mischief. He pressed his entire body against Si Cang 

Qing, supporting himself with his arms, and stared into his cold eyes. "How about Tianyang also guess what your 

majesty is thinking?"

"Your Majesty, you should belong to the type of person who believes in 'if others do not offend me, I will not 

offend others.' However, you always ensure that every plan is foolproof before taking action. The swift 

destruction of the Guangyu Kingdom within just six months is a prime example. Tianyang dares to speculate that 

although Your Majesty does not intend to actively seek dominance, the plans for achieving dominance might 

have already been arranged."

"You agreed to cooperate with me today for two reasons: first, you want to know why Cheng TianYi is so 

confident and insists on the marriage; second, you want to use my power to monitor Hong Cheng Kingdom’s 

actions; perhaps, there is a third factor, which is that you promised my brother to protect me, so you will condone 

my behavior."

"Was my guess correct?" 

Si Cang Qing just quietly looked at him, his eyes calm.

Cheng Tianyang smiled with some complacency and looked back at him without showing any weakness. After a 

long standoff, he suddenly lamented, "Ah, Your Majesty, you are really a stuffy person!" (闷骚 mēnsāo: outwardly

cold or retiring but deep and passionate inside)

The whole person suddenly fell on Si Cang Qing, Cheng Tianyang's tone was a little muffled, "You really are not 

surprised at all!"

Si Cang Qing remained silent. What's so strange about this? If it were in modern times, Cheng Tianyang would 

just be someone who is good at psychology! This man has known how to endure hatred since he was a child. He 

has been rolling around among all kinds of people, observing their words and expressions, and interacting with 

them. After more than ten years, it is not surprising that he has developed the ability to see through people's 

hearts. It is not difficult to roughly guess a person's thoughts based on his personality, style and habits.

This is not only what Cheng Tianyang knows, it is also his own experience.

◇Cang Huan◇Seven Palaces◇

"Alright, I'll get to the point," Cheng Tianyang, buried in Si Cang Qing's shoulder, said in a muffled voice, "As for 

Cheng TianYi's insistence on the marriage alliance, you can guess the motive without me saying it. As for why he 

is so confident..."

He suddenly laughed, like the sound of a bell, "My third brother is also very meticulous in his work. Unlike Your 

Majesty, he never holds back his arrogance and self-confidence. At least he thinks it is self-confidence, not 

arrogance."

"Your Majesty must have heard of the beauty of the Mulian people. My mother is the most beautiful among the 

Mulian. In fact, the beauty of the Mulian is not limited to their appearance. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about 

'charming eyes'?"

"Beautiful ladies like Mu Lian will all learn how to be charming with their eyes. But if the charm of eyes is 

cultivated to the extreme, it can become an unparalleled charm skill," Having said this, Cheng Tianyang raised 

his head and stared at Si Cang Qing with a smile.

The eyes that were originally as soft as rippling autumn water suddenly glowed with a strange light, making 

people feel excited.

Looking at the fleeting surprise in Si Cang Qing's eyes, Chengtian Yang muttered somewhat dejectedly, "How 

come you're not affected at all? Cheng TianYi really underestimated you."

He continued what he said before, "He thought that I, who knew this ultimate charm skill, would play with you 

sooner or later." He glanced at Si Cang Qing, "Who knew..."

"As for why he trusts me," Cheng Tianyang smiled sweetly, his eyes rippling with inexplicable emotions, "You 

northerners like to use poison, but we like to use Gu. Your Majesty must have heard of the Kong shin Gu. 

(控心蠱 Kòng xīn gǔ: Mind-controlling Gu)

"Besides, the old man won't live long. Cheng TianYi is very suspicious and found that the old man's mind was 

beginning to get confused, so he handed some things over to me. How could he keep me, a hidden danger that 

might affect the throne, by his side?"

Si Cang Qing listened quietly to Cheng Tianyang's jumping words, and understood in his heart - Cheng TianYi 

used Gu to control Cheng Tianyang and make him work for him; and Cheng Tianyang was good at charm and 

wanted to use it to restrain himself. If Cheng Tianyang really married someone from the north, through marriage 

his possibility of inheriting the throne would be cut off.

Cheng TianYi had everything planned out, but he didn't know he would make a mistake. Cheng Tianbi, who did 

not die in Shang Valley that year, was able to remove the Juexin Gu, which was more powerful than the Kong 

shin Gu. How could he allow his younger brother to be controlled by the Gu? Moreover, the so-called charm 

technique can only be used on people who have greed in their hearts.

After pondering for a moment, Si Cang Qing slowly spoke, "You were looking for me, what is it?"

"As for me," Cheng Tianyang chuckled, "My third brother has put so much effort into this, how can I refuse?" He 

looked at Si Cang Qing teasingly and spoke softly, "Your Majesty, don't you think I'm beautiful? There will be 

many benefits if you marry me..." As he spoke, his fingertips gently stroked the other's chest.

Benefit? Si Cang Qing looked at him calmly, "For example?"

"The three most difficult border towns to conquer in Hongcheng State, the movements of the Hongcheng court, 

Cheng TianYi's staff and the weaknesses of each of them..."

"Is this dowry rich enough?" Cheng Tianyang changed his tone slightly, "If you still think it's not enough, at worst,

I can give you all the forces of Qingyu Sect that you haven't wiped out!"

"Conditions?" Si Cang Qing was slightly surprised. Based on what Cheng Tianyang said, if he wanted to take 

revenge or succeed to the throne, he would not have to rely on his own strength with the help of the old emperor.

"The conditions are very simple," Cheng Tianyang's happy smile was pure and without a trace of impurities, 

like a naughty child dissatisfied with a broken toy, "Destroy Hongcheng, destroy the royal family, and get rid 

of those old ministers."

Si Cang Qing looked at him calmly, and Cheng Tianyang just smiled innocently, as if what he said just now was 

as casual as eating and drinking.

Lowering his eyes slightly, Si Cang Qing probably knew that Cheng Tianyang wanted revenge, but he didn't 

know why this person had such deep hatred - hatred to the point of completely destroying himself, hatred to the 

point of betrayal and killing his own family, hatred to the point that not a single trace of hatred could be seen in 

his entire person.

"Your Majesty, do you think this gift is what you want?"

Si Cang Qing's voice remained calm, "Zhèn has no intention of destroying Hong Cheng."

"But you must have made some arrangements," Cheng Tianyang said confidently, "because you know Cheng 

TianYi's ambition and ruthlessness. As long as the old man dies, it won't be long before Cheng TianYi is 

determined to dominate."

"This time will not be long." Cheng Tianyang said firmly, "Within three years, the Canghong War will begin. 

Your Majesty is wise. Now Cang Huan is getting stronger and stronger, but Hongcheng's power is still far 

superior to Cang Huan. Without my help, Your Majesty will still win, but this war will be very cruel and 

long-lasting. By then, the world will be in chaos, and the lurking Guangyu forces will definitely take the 

opportunity to stir up trouble."

"With Your Majesty's mindset, it makes no sense to refuse my deal." 

Si Cang Qing had to admit that Cheng Tianyang was indeed very impressive.

Cheng Tianyang continued, "The conditions I mentioned are actually the final results that cannot be changed, so 

Your Majesty will not suffer any loss in this transaction."

"What is your Majesty's answer?"

Si Cang Qing fell silent, and after a moment, he spoke, "In the Cang Huan Kingdom, there is only one empress, 

and that is Lan."

The sudden words made Cheng Tianyang stunned for a moment, and then he laughed softly, "Your Majesty, you 

are really a good husband! If I don't marry you, I will feel that I am losing out..."

Putting away his smile, Cheng Tianyang said calmly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not compete for Feng 

Lan's position as the Empress. I only need three years. After three years, when Cang Huan destroys Hong Cheng, 

Your Majesty will remove my name from the Jade Butterflies in the Harem and give me a piece of Hong Cheng 

land, and I can be a free and easy Idle Prince.”

"So, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

All in all, this person is determined to use his own hands to destroy Hong Cheng. As for the three years that 

Cheng Tianyang mentioned, Si Cang Qing also knew it in his heart. Seeing Cheng TianYi's impatience now, he 

could get a glimpse of it.

This transaction is a win-win situation for both parties.

Si Cang Qing closed his eyes and said in a leisurely voice, "Tomorrow, I will propose marriage to Emperor 

Cheng."

Cheng Tianyang's eyes suddenly sparkled with brilliance. Propping himself up on his arm, he half-sat up and 

stared intently at Si Cang Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed. A smile with deep meaning blossomed at 

the corner of his lips.

The candlelight in the room was swaying slightly. All I heard was the sound of wind hitting the windows, making 

them creak.

Cheng Tianyang's eyes changed, and he waved his sleeves, causing the whole bed to shake slightly. He leaned 

softly on Si Cang Qing, letting out ambiguous moans from his mouth. Si Cang Qing also slowly opened his eyes, 

with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

for a long time……

Cheng Tianyang suddenly smiled, shook his head slightly, and said ambiguously, "Your Majesty, your spring 

night is really priceless. In the middle of the night, no one is sleeping, and groups of people come to visit..."

"However," Cheng Tianyang, who had already taken off half of his loose clothes, whispered in Si Cang Qing's 

ear, "Your Majesty is really cold-hearted. He has no desire at all for such a beautiful man."

The fingers lingering on Si Cang Qing's chest moved ambiguously, slowly sliding to the abdomen, and then down 

little by little...
