Biyue Palace.

The palace servants have been arrested.

It wasn't just the king of Wushui Kingdom who died.

There's also a little Jun, Feng Qing!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling sighed silently.

Just from his name, you can tell he's a sentimental person.

"Your Majesty, there is another letter."

The palace maid beside him took the letter, opened it, and Xiao Ling glanced at it.

"Your Majesty, Feng Qing used to be the man of the deposed Phoenix Lord. She has always been in love with him and was willing to remain a lowly minor ruler in obscurity. Now that the deposed Phoenix Lord has been executed, she is thinking of taking revenge."

He was originally an orphan, taken in by the deposed Phoenix Lord out of pity, and then caught the Emperor's eye, who favored him once, thus making him a minor prince. He hadn't seen the Emperor for over ten years, but the Emperor had a sudden whim last night and favored him, giving him the opportunity..."

Xiao Ling grunted in response.

The king is dead.

He died from poisoning.

His face was dark and bluish-black, quite ferocious, but she had treated him well when she was alive.

He took two steps forward.

"Phoenix Lord, be careful, it's poisonous!" someone immediately warned.

Tears streamed down Xiao Ling's face.

"Let's hold a funeral!"

The Kingdom of Wushui is about to descend into chaos.

The king of Wushui Kingdom, relying on his youth and good health, never appointed a crown princess.

Therefore, he died one day.

The history of the Yu Kingdom may well repeat itself in the Wushui Kingdom.

...

At the funeral hall.

Xiao Ling knelt on the ground, leading the palace ladies in mourning and offering sacrifices to His Majesty.

Outer hall.

Several princesses were on the verge of drawing their swords.

Weapons were brought into the mourning hall; this is unprecedented in history.

All of this is no longer relevant to Xiao Ling.

No new emperor would want a foreign minister to be a crown prince; his journey in the Wushui Kingdom should come to an end.

The funeral will be held seven days later.

The imperial mausoleum was completed long ago.

The royal tomb was closed the moment the king of Wushui Kingdom was buried.

Outside, the sounds of fighting were already filling the air, as the most powerful Second Princess and the most ambitious Third Princess were already at war.

Several palace maids and servants who had come with him from the Kingdom of Yu helped him escape the chaotic army and fled towards the Kingdom of Yu.

only……

One day later.

They were eventually caught up by the Second Princess's men!

"The scourge of the Yu Kingdom, where can it escape to?" The second princess said triumphantly on her horse.

Xiao Ling's heart clenched as he sat in the carriage!

Today may be the day he loses his life.

He had not yet gotten off the carriage.

Then they heard the palace maids outside shouting loudly.

"Second Princess, at this critical moment, instead of turning back to fight for the throne, you come to intercept the entourage of Emperor Pingnan. Do you intend to make an enemy of my Yu Kingdom?"

"He's sharp-tongued and has come here for a marriage alliance with Emperor Pingnan. He's a citizen of my Wushui Kingdom, so he should naturally stay here. Does he intend to collude with the Yu Kingdom to attack my Wushui Kingdom by fleeing back?"

"Haha! What a joke! Second Princess, with Emperor Pingnan remaining in the Wushui Kingdom, do you dare to address him as Grand Lady?"

"Hmph! What right does a foreigner have to be the Grand Queen of my Wushui Kingdom?"

"That's it. Since the Second Princess always considers Emperor Pingnan a foreigner, why not let him go back? Emperor Pingnan will certainly not forget the Second Princess's great kindness. Why tear off the mask and leave each other with no way out? Besides, our Great Yu Kingdom and the Wu Shui Kingdom have a ten-year alliance. Has the Second Princess forgotten? The best course of action now is to seize the Imperial Seal of the State as soon as possible."

"Heh, you think you can make me go back with just a few words? As long as I capture Pingnan Diqing, I can exchange her for troops and money with your Yu Kingdom. The Imperial Seal of the State has already been put into my possession. Taking Pingnan Diqing is my way out."

The second princess held the imperial seal high in her hand, looking extremely pleased with herself.
