After the few of them had packed up their rooms, the innkeeper had already prepared meals for them and even arranged a private room for them.

Several people sat around the table. Lin Jinghan first checked them again, handed them the freshly prepared medicine, and then sat next to Sikong Zhan.

"I wonder what the Queen's plans are?" This time, Sikong Zhan didn't ask his own husband, because he knew that as long as the Queen was not completely out of danger, his husband would never leave her. This meant that the Queen was the key to all this.

"Yu'er is the crown prince. The boss wants to ascend the throne legitimately, so he will not let Yu'er go no matter what. I will take Yu'er back to the palace and let him become the new emperor legitimately. Even if he fails, it is better than fleeing all day and being hunted by them." Rong Yue pulled Tan Taiyu and asked him to kowtow to Sikong Zhan, then continued,

"Prince Jingnan, I, Rongyue, come to you in the name of Queen Beijiang for help. I beg you to help my son ascend the throne. Once this is accomplished, I will willingly hand over half of Beijiang to you."

Rong Yue's words stirred up a storm in everyone's heart. Everyone's eyes changed instantly when looking at Rong Yue. Even Sikong Zhan couldn't help but frown and looked at the Queen of Beijiang in front of him seriously.

"Queen Bei Jiang." Sikong Zhan said these four words very slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"Although you are the Queen of Beijiang, you are now alone, without the support of ministers, military power, or the support of your mother's family. What makes you think your son can ascend to the throne? Is it just based on your titles of Queen and Crown Prince, which have no appeal at all?"

Sikong Zhan's words did not give anyone any face, but Rong Yue was not angry at all.

"You are the King of Jingnan! You are the undefeated war god of Donglin! You are the killing god on the Tianji list! As long as you are willing to help me overthrow the boss, who can stop you? When the time comes, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and it will be legitimate. You will be the benefactor of my entire Beijiang."

"But why should I help you?" Sikong Zhan shook his head, took Lin Jinghan's plate and served her the food, looking like he didn't want to pay any attention to Rong Yue.

"After the matter is accomplished, I will give the entire half of the country east of Beijiang, adjacent to Donglin, to King Jingnan. This is my sincerity in forming an alliance with you. I hope..."

Before Rong Yue finished speaking, Sikong Zhan interrupted her rudely.

"I'm not even interested in you Beijiang, let alone a mere half of your country."

After saying that, Sikong Zhan no longer paid any attention to Rong Yue and considerately served soup to Lin Jinghan.

Lin Jinghan was very disdainful of Rong Yue, a person who sold out his country for personal gain. When she saw Tan Taiyu still kneeling on the ground, she had even less good feelings towards her as a mother who took advantage of a child. She also picked up some food for Sikong Zhan, and the two of them started eating as if no one was around. She also invited Xie Chang to eat with them.

Rong Yue was at a loss and could only look to Gu Chuan for help.

Gu Chuan sighed, helped Tan Taiyu up from his kneeling position, sat him down at the table, and served him some food before he slowly spoke:

"Ah Zhan, you sent so many people to find me and help me, but now only Xie Chang is left. The others were killed by Tan Taiming. This revenge must be avenged. Why don't you just help them mother and son? That will be considered as a request from your master."

Although the two are master and disciple, when they are together normally, Guchuan either calls him a bad boy or a good disciple. This is the first time that Guchuan calls his name so solemnly, calling him "A Zhan" which is the name only the people closest to him would call him.

Isn't it because of his old man that Sikong Zhan dislikes Rong Yue? His old man's behavior made him completely angry.

He didn't know what happened between Guchuan, Rongyue, and Xiang Yuanqing back then. But he knew that for the sake of the Queen of Beijiang, his old man hadn't married or had children to this day. To prevent those girls from pursuing him, he even turned himself into an old man. This time, he even risked his life for her!

His old man had sacrificed so much for this woman, but what had this woman done for him? First, she abandoned him and married someone else, which was fine. But now her husband was dead. If she truly loved his old man, after what they had experienced, she should have followed him and fled! With his old man's ability, as long as they left Beijiang, what could a mere Crown Prince of Beijiang do to them?

Yet, this woman couldn't let go of the so-called splendor and wealth, and only wanted to return to be the Empress Dowager who ruled the country from behind the scenes! Did she ever care about the old man in her family?

Such a selfish woman who takes advantage of his old man's feelings is not worthy of his love at all!

Now, she actually asked his old man to beg him! This was the first time his old man begged him!

If you ask him, his old man was truly foolish. Just to see this woman, he revealed his true self, which he hadn't shown in years. And what was the result? He was so infatuated that he just kept clinging to her. What was he trying to gain?

If there were no outsiders present, he would definitely teach his old man a lesson and make him recognize the true face of this woman!

However, even if there were outsiders present, he would still do whatever he wanted.

He put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at his master solemnly.

"Then tell me, you old man, who is she to you, and who are you to her? Why are you begging me for her?"

Those words were so hurtful! Lin Jinghan had probably figured out something: Senior Gu and the Empress must have had a past. Looking at his prince's attitude, was he trying to bring the two together? But if he wanted to, why would he say such harsh words? It wouldn't hurt his own master's feelings. Really, why did such a good man have such a mouth that deserved a slap?

Furukawa was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond: Yes, what right does he have to beg others for her?

If Yue'er's son was not here, he could still shamelessly say that she was the person he loved most in his heart and the person he cared about most in his life, but in front of her son, he couldn't say these words!

On the other side, Xiang Yuanqing returned to Tianque Pavilion, brought some good players with him, and quickly rushed to Beijiang. He finally arrived in Changdu City today.

He calculated carefully and felt that Sikong Zhan and his group must have arrived earlier than him. They took out Qianxun Cicada as soon as they entered the city, and he actually captured Lin Jinghan's location.

The group quickly approached where Lin Jinghan was and met the secret guards on guard outside the inn. The secret guards knew that this was their princess's master. In addition, Sikong Zhan had told them that if they met Pavilion Master Xiang, they must treat him with courtesy. Therefore, they did not stop him. They let him into the inn and sent someone to report to their own prince.
