So this is how he's going to leave. He really did arrange everything for her.

When he dies, Yuwen Shu will die, then Yuwen Shi will die, then Yuwen Qingyue will die, and at that time, the entire Yuwen royal family will completely collapse.

As for Xie Danling, although he is the son of the Prince of Yong, he also has the blood of Zongzheng Shao flowing in his veins. With the care of Nan Lingqin, he will not ruin this beautiful land.

But Yuwen Yao, you've arranged everything, why didn't you arrange my heart?

If you die, what good will it do me to avenge myself and gain the world?

Does my transmigration mean I'm destined to grow old alone?

Why is God so cruel to me?

impossible--

"hit--"

No sooner said than done, Nan Lingqin's starry eyes flashed, and a flying sword suddenly shot out from her hand, heading straight for Yuwen Yao, piercing through his clothes.

"Yuwen Yao, you won't die without my permission."

She said that as she shouted in a low voice, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and dashed out like an arrow.

The sword was stuck in the city wall, and Yuwen Yao was still falling. He saw Nan Lingqin flying over. As if he had expected it, he suddenly raised his hand and gathered his energy in his palm.

"hit--"

With a clang, the longsword emerged from the city wall and headed straight for Nan Lingqin.

This was all he could do with all his might. He knew she could dodge it, and once she did, his life would come to an end.

This kind of death is the perfect ending; she will no longer hate him.

However, Nan Lingqin did not dodge the sword. Even as the sword came towards her, she did not retreat an inch. Her starry eyes narrowed, and with a light flick of her hand, the sword instantly turned to ashes. A wisp of smoke gently swirled in her hand, and then, just a step away, she caught Yuwen Yao and tightly gripped his sleeve.

Thinking too much is just a fleeting moment.

High in the air, the two people were hanging against the wall.

Yuwen Yao looked at Nan Lingqin and said, "Qin'er, if you don't let me die, you're letting innocent people die. Yuwen Shu's life can only be saved by drinking human blood."

Amidst the howling wind, his voice was powerful and unwavering, yet he gazed at Nan Lingqin with utmost tenderness, his heart filled with endless sorrow.

His heart ached, his blood ached, he longed to be with her like this, but...

"If I don't let you die, you can't die."

Nan Lingqin's eyes turned cold. Just as Yuwen Yao was about to shake off her hand, she struck his pressure point faster than he could. With cold eyes and gritted teeth, she leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

These words were enough to leave Yuwen Yao completely dumbfounded, his expression trembling. He thought that none of the surprises he had ever experienced in his life were as astonishing as this moment.

it turns out……

it turns out……

it turns out……

"The poison in my body has already been neutralized."

She said it softly, her words clear, and he was so overjoyed that he burst into tears. He had thought he might never see it again.

The reason they forced her to conquer the city step by step was to clear her name in front of the world and let everyone know that it was the Northern Rong royal family that had wronged her, not that she had betrayed Northern Rong early on because she was a princess of Southern Qi.

But this overwhelming joy made him feel that he had truly died a worthy death.

"Don't think about dying. My poison has been cured, and I also know the way to open the gate of the Cloud Clan. It won't backfire as you thought, which would require all your strength. So, Yuwen Yao, there is still hope."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Lingqin pushed off the wall with all her might, using the momentum to land lightly with Yuwen Yao.

The sudden drop from the sky turned Yuwen Yao's face ashen, blood rushing to his head. Unable to move, he could only stare at Nan Lingqin. Dressed in a bright red brocade robe, she even gave off a somewhat surreal feeling of being abducted as a bandit's husband.

"Nan Lingqin, Yuwen Yao, you two despicable couple, don't even think about killing me or ruining my reputation."

Above the city gate, Yuwen Shu was standing on the ground. This emperor, who once thought he had the world in his grasp, now had bloodshot eyes, a sinister expression, and held a long sword, his killing intent obvious.

"You two, Yuwen Shu, if you were still the emperor, you would be called a dog emperor. But now that you have abdicated and are the retired emperor, you should be called a scumbag. Even tigers don't eat their cubs. The emperor's dignity is that of the world. What have you done? You killed your own children, slaughtered your own brothers, and treated the people you were supposed to protect like weeds, using them as medicine to keep you alive. A devil like you should have been torn to pieces long ago."

A sharp shout emanated from within, accompanied by a surge of internal energy, and Nan Lingqin's eyes burned with fierce fire.

"Hahaha...then kill Yuwen Yao, kill me, do you dare, hahaha..."

Yuwen Shu laughed wildly, the cold wind biting. He laughed without any restraint because he knew no one would kill him. If he died, Yuwen Yao would die too. But would Nan Lingqin want him to die? No. So, not only would she not kill him, she would also protect him with her life.

"Nan Lingqin, withdraw your troops and offer yourself as a hostage."

Yuwen Shu's laughter ceased, replaced by a chilling and sinister aura.

"Yuwen Yao, you are too arrogant."

"flutter--"

These words were not spoken by Nan Lingqin, but came from behind Yuwen Shu. As she spoke, the sharp dagger plunged straight into Yuwen Shu's back, so precisely that it left him no chance of survival.
