"What do you want?"
Zhongli Mingye let out a sneering laugh and gently kissed her pink earlobe. "Of course it's time to go to bed!"
"Can't you see it's already late?"
"..."
Song Jinyu was so angry that she pushed him hard. "Get off me!!!" She was still mad, and this man...
"Get off? Song Jinyu! As the Princess of Yu, it's your duty to serve this prince!" After saying that, he kissed her deeply.
One hand firmly held her down, while the other tugged at her belt. "Don't..." His hand wandered over her body.
His passion became more and more obvious, and the girl beneath him tightly closed her eyes.
She had been extremely exhausted today, and now Zhongli Mingye was being so reckless. Song Jinyu was both ashamed and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
However... soon she was completely defeated, and her mind became more and more muddled.
And why did it feel like her body was about to melt?
After a short while, Zhongli Mingye stopped. A flicker of pain flashed across his eyes as he calmed the fire in his heart. He just gently hugged the soft and delicate body and fell asleep.
Song Jinyu buried her head in his arms and softly smelled the familiar sandalwood scent. Feeling his strong heartbeat, she gradually felt at ease.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning. Zhongli Mingye had already left. She didn't know what he had been busy with these days.
Seeing the belt that he had torn yesterday, a suspicious blush appeared on her face. She softly called Niaoniao in.
Mi Cui was holding a bowl of ginseng soup. After she finished washing up, she said, "The prince said that the princess served him so hard last night and told you to have a good tonic."
"Otherwise, it'll be uncomfortable." After Mi Cui said with a smile, she secretly glanced at the princess. Her face turned white then red, and red then white.
"..."
Hearing the words "uncomfortable" again, Song Jinyu's heart fluttered like a deer.
He... he... She gently tugged at her clothes with her slender hands and blushed inexplicably.
"The Golden Water Palace intended to harm the emperor. They cut corners on the formula of the spiritual medicine. It's truly hateful!" The emperor's body was visibly decaying.
Without the support of the real spiritual medicine, he was aging much faster than ordinary people.
Zhongli Mingye sneered after hearing his subordinate's report. "Zhongli Shuoyi is much more ruthless than the crown prince!"
It turned out that he was still haunted by the rumor about his bloodline and was constantly worried that the emperor would kill him. Zhongli Shuoyi had done something foolish.
The eunuch who prepared the medicine didn't dare to be too obvious. So the emperor only fainted for a few hours. Looking at the evidence in front of him,
the emperor slumped onto the dragon throne in great panic. Miao Yunshen was already dead, and there was no more spiritual medicine in the world. And the evidence that Zhongli Mingye found mentioned that Ouyang Jinse, the master of the Golden Water Palace, was suspected of murdering Master Miao.
So... the emperor looked at the cracked skin and terrifying age spots on his hands.
It's not just women who are afraid of aging; men are too. Especially the emperor, who holds great power and stands above all, is even more afraid!
"Order the governor of Yu Prefecture to arrest Ouyang Jinse and wipe out the Golden Water Palace!"
The crown prince, who was under house arrest, was very panicked after getting the news. It was also his idea to murder Miao Yunshen of Tianmen Mountain.
Now, the emperor wanted to wipe out Ouyang Jinse. He found an opportunity and said, "We must not let Ouyang Jinse return to the capital, or..."
Not only would he lose his position as the crown prince, but he was also afraid that the emperor would directly kill him.
It's a pity that as soon as the messenger left the capital, he was intercepted and killed on the spot. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you're being smart for once."
"As the prince expected, the emperor has vented all his anger on the Golden Water Palace."
"I'm afraid Ouyang Jinse is doomed!" Qingfeng was in the study with Zhongli Mingye.
After a long time, they heard the man say, "This is good!"
Qingfeng was faintly puzzled. Why didn't the prince seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and expose Zhongli Shuoyi's conspiracy to the emperor? In this way,
the Prince of Yu's mansion could take a step further, and it would be only a matter of time before he ascended to the position of the crown prince.
As if seeing what Qingfeng was thinking, Zhongli Mingye sneered. "Father is very suspicious at this moment..."
"Moreover, this matter... will also make others panic." Maybe they will seek their own doom.
No matter how rough the road ahead is, it's good to have her by his side. The magnificent rivers and mountains of the empire are like a scroll slowly unfolding.
After Ji Qinglin left the Prince of Cheng's mansion, he stepped on the bluestone slabs step by step, thinking about what to do next. The few incompatible herbs added to the spiritual medicine...
were at his instigation.
These days, because of Ji Qinglin's words, Zhongli Shuoyi had lost his composure and panicked, contrary to his usual calm self. He had always thought that he was not the emperor's biological son.
His mother had committed suicide. After the crown prince was under house arrest, instigated by Ji Qinglin, he took a risky move. He originally thought that if the emperor died and the crown prince lost power, as the Second Prince and the Prince of Cheng, he could naturally ascend to the throne.
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't die.
"Whether the emperor is dead or not, the Shen family must die!"
"Junior sister... the handwriting on that prescription... looks very familiar."
Ji Qinglin had been away from Tianmen Mountain for three years. He still vaguely remembered Song Jinyu. After all, they had both studied under Miao Yunshen.
Now that she had become the Princess of Yu, why not... give him a hand? The thought of revenge haunted him, and the hatred engraved in his bones made him feel a bone - deep pain every time he recalled it.
Killing the young master of the Shen family was just a matter of a moment.
Wiping out the entire Shen family was his most important thing. After the incident at Tianmen Mountain, Ji Qinglin knew a little about it but didn't think deeply.
As he thought, Tianmen Mountain just wanted to live in peace.
Rong Shuang'er rode past the Ming Ruyi's mansion. Her eyes were filled with an unclear emotion. These days, after much thought, she suddenly realized.
Maybe, she had fallen in love.
Rong Shuang'er, who had been ignored by her father since childhood, grew up strong and gradually took over the Duke Rong's mansion. But it wasn't until that day in Ming Ruyi's arms that she knew what it meant to be cared for.
Now... her reputation was not good, and Ming Ruyi was also feared by the emperor. Why not... be with him?
Thinking like this, she came to the Prince of Zhongzhou's mansion.
"Miss, the prince is still in the palace..."
"When will he be back?" The gatekeeper didn't let her in and didn't go to report.
Just as she was about to go back disappointedly, unexpectedly, Ming Ruyi was leaning against the stone lion at the door, looking at her mockingly. "Miss Rong, you're really free."
"This subject has seen the prince."
Rong Shuang'er felt extremely uncomfortable. The words she had prepared stayed in her mouth and she just couldn't say them. With people coming and going, she just stood there stupidly.
What should she say?
Looking at Ming Ruyi's phoenix - like eyes and his extremely handsome face that was comparable to a beautiful woman's, she was in a daze. Should she say that she had taken a fancy to him? Or should she ask him to be with her?
This... Even though Rong Shuang'er was usually bold, she still couldn't say it.
"If you have nothing to do, this prince is going to take a nap!" When Ming Ruyi passed by her, he turned back and glanced at Rong Shuang'er. "You're not really in love with... this prince, are you?"
"Ha..."
As soon as these words were out, Rong Shuang'er immediately jumped onto her horse like a cunning rabbit and left quickly!
Leaving Ming Ruyi standing there in a daze. "What's wrong with her today?"
The gatekeepers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
