Chapter 129 (8,000 words) Yin Xing is very obedient...

On the Dragon Boat Festival, fumigating mugwort and hanging calamus are traditional customs. However, this year, the capital is more focused on burning talismans to ward off evil spirits. The ground is covered with gray and black marks and filled with the smell of burning.

The mighty palace procession passed through the long street. Some people in the crowd held high banners with the call to attack the Yin family of Xizhou, and many others expressed their support and support.

"The evil woman Yin has brought disaster to the country and the people, and she deceives the emperor and her superiors. She deserves to be killed!"

The accompanying officials looked at each other in confusion, their minds shifting. Among them, the Minister of Works, Zhou Shengtai, glanced at the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Jiang Zhengming, his eyes filled with hatred.

He never had the chance to avenge his son's death.

The previous emperor attached too much importance to Jiang Zhengming, so Zhou Shengtai could not cause any trouble. The current empress even made Jiang Zhengming's only daughter a sworn sister to the Yin family of Xizhou, binding their identities together, and her status and position were extraordinary.

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. This incident against the Yin family of Xizhou is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Zhou Shengtai to take revenge on Jiang Zhengming.

The clatter of horse hooves echoed loudly, and Yin Xing, who was sitting in the chariot, knew without even looking that this was all human performance art accusing him.

In the past, Yin Xing had only seen some chaos on the Internet, most of which were pictures of cute pandas. He never thought that there would be such a day for him.

Xuan Yizhen held Yin Xing's hand, touched the ring with his fingertips, and said, "Do you regret proposing to me now?"

Yin Xing collected her thoughts and looked at Xuan Yizhen before her. She replied firmly, "No, I'm very happy to be married to Yizhen."

"Then why are your hands shaking?"

"I'm just a little worried that it might cause an uproar and put people in danger."

Xuan Yizhen wiped Yin Xing's palms with an embroidered handkerchief. Seeing her timid yet determined expression, she said with a gentle smile, "Then you should smile. Today is a very good day."

Yin Xing cooperated with a stiff smile, not quite understanding Xuan Yizheng's train of thought. He thought she was too calm.

Not long after, Yin Xing and Xuan Yizheng got out of the car. They were greeted by a cool lake breeze, which relieved a lot of the heat of the Dragon Boat Festival.

This building is different from the common pavilions and towers. It is wide and open, like a viewing platform. Therefore, it is not enclosed, and people outside can also watch the situation.

Court officials sat opposite each other, palace guards patrolled, and the heads of the noble families all showed up, especially the white-haired old head of the Gongyang family, who looked majestic and menacing.

In comparison, the auras of the heads of the Wanqi family are somewhat inferior.

Xuan Yizhen took Yin Xing through many gazes, calmly stepped onto the platform, and slowly sat down.

Before the palace banquet even began, the old patriarch of the Gongyang family spoke out, "Your Majesty, to actually confer a title on a woman as empress is truly disrupting the government and a betrayal of ethics. I hope you will reconsider."

Many court officials echoed his words. Minister of Works Zhou Shengtai was even more radical, shouting, "Your Majesty, please think twice and do not be misled!"

At this moment, many people were watching the excitement, and some were holding banners and echoing the sentiments passionately, the sound was like thunder.

Such a big scene made Yin Xing a little uneasy. He always felt that these people were trying to usurp the throne.

Maybe he should persuade Xuan Yizheng more. He doesn't care much about being crowned queen, and he really shouldn't attract too much attention.

Xuan Yizheng held Yin Xing's soft hand in his palm, silently comforting her, and looked around the officials slowly and calmly.

From the participants who followed the old patriarch Gongyang to the bystanders such as the head of the Wanqi family, it is obvious that everyone has their own plans and thoughts.

"I also have something to tell everyone today. You might as well listen first. Come here." Xuan Yizheng spoke slowly and did not directly answer the question.

The old patriarch Gongyang looked directly at the empress without being humble or arrogant, and he didn't think that such a woman could cause any trouble.

There is no emperor who is not afraid of the gossip of the world, not to mention that the Gongyang family is highly respected and has been so for thousands of years.

If the royal bloodline of the dynasty had not suffered many misfortunes, the empress would not have been qualified to succeed to the throne. Now she is so rebellious and truly foolish.

As he finished speaking, a wheelchair could be heard rolling forward. Everyone looked over, all puzzled.

Only, the old patriarch Gongyang's expression changed slightly, and his gray eyes stared straight at this person.

The paralyzed man had limp limbs and drooping joints, his face was covered with scars, and his face was sunken and distorted, as if he had been hit by a heavy object.

"It is well known that the most famous collection of essays by Patriarch Gongyang is the Wenhua Biography. Every single one of its articles is a masterpiece, read by everyone and revered as a golden rule. The late emperor even regarded him as a sage without precedent or successor. Yet, this person claims that he painstakingly wrote the Wenhua Biography. I feel the need to conduct a thorough investigation to prove his innocence."

"Your Majesty, today we are dealing with the evil woman of the Yin family in Xizhou. How can you hold me accountable? Are you trying to accuse me of something completely fabricated?"

The old patriarch Gongyang looked solemn and clearly very unhappy, but he was still full of confidence.

Xuan Yizhen was unmoved by this. He raised his hand to signal the palace guards to distribute the Wenhua letter. The common people outside also had many books distributed for their reading.

The man in the wheelchair said in a hoarse voice, "Gongyang, you, old scoundrel, have sought fame and reputation, and you deserve retribution. Fortunately, I've left a mark at the beginning of each volume: one word in the first paragraph, two words in the second, and so on, so you can see twelve words. This is the same for all thirty-two articles in the biography."

As he spoke, the sound of pages turning was like leaves waving in the forest. Not only court officials were flipping through the pages, but the common people were also checking them out.

Yin Xing on the high platform originally thought that he was the one being criticized, but he didn't expect the situation to change. He was eating melons on the spot, turning the scroll in his palm, slowly searching for words, and muttering: "Gongyang old thief, stealing books and stealing fame, he shall not die well."

Wow, this sanctimonious old man has such a black heart!

As soon as this sentence came out, many people continued to read the article. If one place was just a coincidence, but all the articles were like this, then it would be solid evidence.

It is disgusting that such a great work of sages is actually stolen.

“I never thought that the highly respected patriarch of the Gongyang family, a modern saint, would actually be a thief who stole and wrote for others!”

"Old man, you've been pretending for so many years, it's all just an act, trying to gain fame. It's really disgusting!"

As he spoke, the old patriarch Gongyang looked embarrassed, with cold sweat pouring down his face. He glared at the useless man with a gloomy face, wishing he could kill him.

Everyone around was silent, except for the man in the wheelchair, who laughed and taunted, "Old scoundrel Gongyang, you've done so much evil that you'll eventually perish. The disciples in your sect are nothing but ignorant good-for-nothings. You're unworthy of being called a living saint, bah!"

"Shut up!" The old patriarch Gongyang drew his sword angrily and stabbed the arrogant man hard. Blood splattered and the surroundings fell into chaos.

The man in the wheelchair held the sword of the old Gongyang Patriarch in his palm, his eyes wide open, blood spitting out of his mouth as he laughed, "Old thief Gongyang, you will not die well!"

Yin Xing was so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes, thinking that the old man was so angry that he had gone crazy!

"Everyone, today we are here to kill the witch from the Yin family in Xizhou. Your Majesty insists on protecting her and is obviously deceived by witchcraft. Don't blame me for being rude!" The old patriarch Gongyang drew out his sword, his eyes gleaming with cruelty, and it was obvious that he understood the empress's intentions very well.

The empress wanted to completely crush the prestige of the Gongyang family. Now that things had come to this, there was no turning back.

After he finished speaking, the people were still in shock. The people dressed as scholars in the crowd looked at each other, and were about to continue making trouble and joining in the criticism of the empress.

But before he could open his mouth to make a sound, silver needles pierced his throat, his eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Many people were tilted unsteadily, but were secretly taken away by those nearby. In silence, Su Xuying followed the order to wipe out the roots.

As expected, without these instigators, there was no particular chaos among the people, but they were still in a dazed state of waiting and watching.

At this moment, clear factions were formed among the court officials. Officials such as Jiang Zhengming, the Minister of Justice, remained in a state of standstill. Zhou Shengtai, the Minister of Works, joined forces with the old master of Gongyang and others to request the assassination of Yin of Xizhou. Some guards even raised their swords, and the situation suddenly became dangerous.

Manager Ji and Manager Xin also found that things were getting out of control. They thought that the Gongyang family was just a group of scholars, but they didn't expect them to act so arrogantly.

Xuan Yizhen, sitting in the high seat, looked coldly at the old Patriarch Gongyang and spoke calmly, "Gongyang Chang deceived the world and stole his reputation. He openly killed people in the palace to silence them, and secretly gathered his followers to rebel. Everyone in the world has witnessed it."

The old head of the Gongyang clan looked at the empress grimly and said contemptuously, "The empress is extremely licentious and has even allowed the Yin clan of Xizhou to use sorcery to harm people. The people of the capital are in panic. Anyone can kill her. The Gongyang clan is acting on behalf of Heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thunderous applause that should have echoed him did not come, and he began to feel that something was wrong.

But at this moment, the old master Gongyang had no time to be distracted, because the palace guards around him drew their swords and pointed them at each other, and arrows flew everywhere like a rainstorm.

Then someone looked up and saw archers on high ground. It was obvious that the empress came prepared and was not as passive and harmless as she looked.

In previous years, the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet was either held in the palace gardens or on the royal cruise ship, but this time it was very different. Now I understand the reason.

I'm afraid even the palace dancers are killers. This is just a trap set by the empress.

Countless sharp arrows pierced through the flesh and blood, and many officials and soldiers fell to the ground. The old master of the Gongyang family was shot to death on the spot, his face full of regret and unwillingness.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Minister of Works Zhou Shengtai was so scared that he crawled on the ground, but a corner of an official robe appeared in front of him. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Zhengming, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Ever since he made a bet on the late emperor's succession to the throne and became an important official, Zhou Shengtai had gradually become complacent, but now he realized that maybe it was just his luck.

Even though Jiang Zhengming was suspected and monitored by the late emperor over the years, he never made a single mistake. He is truly terrifyingly strong.

Soon, all the rebels holding sharp blades in the hall were brought to justice. Zhou Shengtai died miserably under Jiang Zhengming's sword. He could no longer be a fence-sitter as he had been in the past.

It was the first time that Yin Xing had seen such a scene. All he could smell was the strong smell of blood, and he felt like vomiting.

Xuan Yizhen's gaze swept across the finally quiet banquet, indifferently turning away from the body of the old Gongyang Patriarch. He spoke, "Gongyang Chang disregarded the law, fabricated rumors, and caused trouble, stealing books and killing people. Today, I strip him of his title of Duke and send troops to reclaim his fiefdom. All members of the Gongyang family will be exiled three thousand miles away, and will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations for five generations. If his students and followers are willing to mend their ways and report his crimes, they may be dealt with at my discretion, but no further investigation will be allowed. All other offenders will be executed on the spot."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Dali Temple Minister Jiang Zhengming and other officials paid homage and responded.

Seeing this thunderous move, the female official Chun Li gathered her thoughts and slowly unfolded the imperial edict, saying in a solemn voice, "Today, Your Majesty has enthroned the Yin family of Xizhou as empress. On this auspicious day, I hereby exempt the people from labor service, reduce taxes, and hold a three-day banquet to bestow favors upon the people, so that all may celebrate together."

A banquet is usually only given as a reward during the heyday of a dynasty. Feeding millions of people in the capital is not a small amount of money.

Seeing that the empress was so merciful to Yin of Xizhou, Ji Zhangsi wanted to step forward to dissuade her, but then a sword fell from his side, and it turned out to be a palace maid holding a sharp blade.

On the other side, Chief Xin had also been forced to sit down. It was obvious that this was the Empress's last mercy. If anyone dared to disobey today, he would surely die.

At noon, banquets were set up along the long streets, palace guards were patrolling with weapons, and many people gathered to eat. The children, unaware of what was going on, concentrated on eating chicken legs.

After witnessing the previous killing scenes, the people now dare not say a word, because these palace guards holding sharp blades will really kill people.

At this moment, corpses were piled up in the alley just across the wall, and blood soaked the ground. Su Xuying shook her golden fan and said solemnly, "Any followers of the Gongyang family who want to interfere must be executed on the spot. We must not cause any more chaos!"

"Yes!" As soon as the words fell, the crowd dispersed and ran around to monitor the movements inside the banquet.

As the sun sets, the Empress's procession passes through the long street. The previous scene is no longer there. Yin Xing looks at the completely different scene with a little doubt in his eyes.

"Yizhen, am I dreaming?" Yin Xing turned his head and asked.

"What do you think?" Xuan Yizheng leaned closer and kissed Yin Xing's rouge-painted lips. Knowing that she was timid, he would try to minimize casualties as much as possible.

Otherwise, given Xuan Yizheng's character, those scholars who followed the trend and cursed and slandered Yin Xing would at least have their hands and tongues cut off.

Yin Xing looked at the frivolous Xuan Yizhen with a hot face, leaned in close to her and cuddled up to her, mumbling, "I'm glad you're okay. You really scared me today."

Xuan Yizhen stretched out his slender arms to embrace Yin Xing, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, now the only thing left is the ghost fire murder case, nothing else will be a problem."

"Yeah, it's said that many people died in the will-o'-the-wisp murders. It's a very scary murderer."

"So your crime as a witch has not yet been cleared. Perhaps tonight will be a turbulent night."

The downfall of the Gongyang family means that there will be no open opponents at most, but if the ghost fire is not extinguished, the people will still be suspicious and can easily be instigated to cause trouble.

Upon hearing this, Yin Xing gazed at the fading sunset glow in the sky, and suddenly felt like today wasn't the Dragon Boat Festival, but the Ghost Festival?!

The night fell silently, the banquet was still going on, the Taoist temple was particularly quiet, and the Taoist disciples had grim expressions and looked frightened.

"Master, we have lost contact with all the Taoists in various places. We were unable to follow the old Patriarch Gongyang's call today. Our plan may fail."

"That old man Gong Yangchang is so useless. He actually left such a big handle behind!"

After saying this, the Zen beads on his wrist fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the Taoist disciples did not dare to respond rashly.

In the silence, a disciple hesitantly suggested, "Master, if we evacuate the capital now, we might still have a chance of survival."

The fall of the Gongyang family shows that all the plans have been exposed, and the fall of the gym is only a matter of time.

"There's only a glimmer of hope. You underestimate Xuan Yizhen. She was able to publicly discredit the Gongyang Family today, bringing their accomplices to justice. The Dojo was exposed long ago, but it was only because of the prestige of this Dojo that she was able to do so."

Now that he has fled the capital, Xuan Yizheng has become even more ruthless in his killing.

The only option now is to fight head-on, and we must make a big noise to make Xuan Yizheng afraid and advance slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures suddenly rushed into the gym. Jiang Yun waved his sword and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Second Princess, long time no see."

Amidst the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives, the Taoists soon became entangled in a fight. In the lingering air of sandalwood, the figures became blurred and changed.

"How come you are okay?" The second princess looked at Jiang Yun, who was not affected by the drugs, and asked.

"This is all thanks to your subordinate who pretended to be Shangguan Sheng." Jiang Yun's sword tip provoked a disciple's vital point, blood splattered, and his action was quick and decisive.

The Second Princess placed her palm on the armrest of the chair and frowned, saying, "It seems Xuan Yi's killing intent is even more urgent than I imagined."

Jiang Yunfei stepped forward, intending to thrust his sword towards the platform, but was intercepted by two Taoist disciples who sneered, "There's nothing we can do. The Second Princess is truly too capable. If she stays for another day, who knows how much trouble she'll cause."

"Well, let's wait and see!" The second princess turned off the handheld phone. In the thick smoke, flames leaped and the figure disappeared.

"Chase!" Jiang Yun gave the order, his eyes sweeping across the spacious Taoist temple and stopping at the Bodhisattva mural. He had a vague feeling that there must be something else going on inside.

The candlelight flickered, and the Bodhisattva's face was amiable. Jiang Yun jumped to a high place with a sword in his hand, approaching the Bodhisattva's eyes, which had marks left by a scimitar.

Shangguan Sheng is quite knowledgeable about Taoism, and has even read many scriptures. He also understands talismans, so if his life is hanging by a thread, he should leave a mark.

When Jiang Yun swung his sword, the ground of the gymnasium shook continuously, and the Bagua formation changed, revealing the darkness deep inside.

The candlelight flickered, and the cold mist from the ice storage filled the air. A thin layer of frost covered Shangguan Sheng's face. He exhaled and said, "If you had come one day later, I would have taken your body directly."

Jiang Yun was very familiar with this feeling and laughed out loud: "I thought I could only see your corpse. I didn't hold out any hope at all."

Today the empress has to deal with the old patriarch Gongyang first, and she cannot alert the enemy, so Jiang Yun can only wait for the opportunity.

Jiang Yun had experienced many deaths of good friends in the past, so he was actually somewhat prepared.

Speaking of which, Shangguan Sheng and Yin Xing are really lucky.

As he spoke, the smoke in the gym grew thicker, and gradually a faint blue flame emerged, like a will-o'-the-wisp.

When the two of them left the hall together, they discovered that the entire hall was emitting a strange light. When the people of the capital discovered this, they knelt down in astonishment.

"Daoist Nun Yiqing must have ascended to heaven!"

“This is a miracle!”

Jiang Yun was speechless. He suddenly felt that the Second Princess was too good at calculating people's hearts. It was too difficult to make her show her true colors like the old Patriarch Gongyang.

Shangguan Sheng relaxed his frozen limbs and looked at the huge crowd of people kneeling and praying. It was obvious that they would never believe that ghosts and gods were actually the same person.

The second princess really knows how to harm and save people.

Now we must quickly deal with the second princess, otherwise if she gets a chance to catch her breath, she will definitely cause trouble again.

The palace guards patrolled and searched the capital late at night, but when daybreak came, they still found nothing.

Inside the palace, Xuan Yizhen looked at the urgent report handed to him by the female official and said, "Draft an imperial decree. The territories and cities of the Gongyang family must be returned to the imperial court. As for the treasury, they must be sealed. No burning or killing is allowed. They must be occupied as quickly as possible. Rewards and punishments will be based on merit."

With the addition of the Xiahou family and the Shangguan family, they will naturally want to seize the territory and treasures, so they have to act quickly.

The female official Chunli understood and responded respectfully, "As you command."

"Where is the second princess?"

"Captain Jiang and Lord Shangguan are both searching for her whereabouts, but the people are so devoted to the worship of Taoist Nun Yiqing that I'm afraid it won't go too far."

Xuan Yizhen closed the document in his palm, his calm eyes shrouded in cold mist, revealing a chilling chill. He spoke calmly, "Since she wants to become a god to control the people, then order the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to arrange a ritual for Taoist Nun Yiqing to ascend to immortality and bestow upon her the name of Master. Anyone who impersonates her will be punished by burning at the stake for offending the Taoist Master."

"Yes!" The female official responded without delay.

In the morning, notices from the empress were posted everywhere in the capital, and there was also a ceremonial team from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. The people already admired Taoist nun Yiqing, so they responded immediately.

Three-year-old children would clamor to attend Issei Dozun's rituals.

Shangguan Sheng was amazed at the sudden change in the empress's attitude.

Jiang Yun yawned repeatedly, his eyes full of fatigue. He ate his meat bun in big mouthfuls and teased, "Our Majesty has perfectly demonstrated the meaning of killing people and destroying their hearts."

"Yes, now the second princess has become a substitute who cannot show her face. After all, her real body ascended to become a clay statue of the Taoist master worshipped by the court. Dead things are more useful than living people." Shangguan Sheng felt that the empress's wisdom was far better than her appearance, and probably no one could guess what she was thinking.

Now the balance among the four great families has been broken. The Gongyang family is already a fish on the chopping board. Needless to say, the Wanqi family is also in a weak position, and the Xiahou family is also not as strong as before.

The empress was very good at watching the fight between tigers from the sidelines by using a piece of seemingly fat fish to induce the collapse of the aristocratic families.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Sheng felt a chill on his back. The checks and balances between the emperor and the aristocratic families had been broken, and the next government policy would definitely be a highly centralized situation.

The decline of local dignitaries was already a foregone conclusion. The empress had surpassed the previous emperor's decades of planning in just two years of ruling. Her momentum was unstoppable, and it was expected that this was the outcome.

Amid the hustle and bustle, the ritual was particularly grand. As the bonfire flickered at night, a hunched woman entered the alley, turning her back on the crowd.

"Ghost!" As two or three children were running and playing, their eyes flashed across the woman's face and they ran away in fright.

Beside the lake, the water surface reflected a face that looked like a wrinkled piece of paper. When the fingertips touched it, the skin began to shed like decay, and blood dripped, creating layers of ripples.

"Xuan Yizheng, why do you always get the upper hand over me? Why!" The second princess said angrily with unwilling eyes, blood oozing from the corners of her lips, making her look more like a hideous evil ghost.

Now all that the second princess had worked so hard for was destroyed, including her own face.

The effect of disguise is short-lived and requires careful care, otherwise the entire face will turn into faceless flesh and blood, which is extremely ugly and may even cause infections throughout the body, coughing up blood being one of them.

The second princess raised her hands and held her mutilated face. She couldn't accept that she died in such a miserable way. That would only make the arrogant and indifferent Xuan Yizheng laugh at her.

Xuan Yizhen wants to capture me and sacrifice me to the gods this time, to kill people and destroy their hearts. She is dreaming!

"No one in this world is allowed to humiliate me anymore, no one!" The second princess weakly supported her thin body and jumped into the pool step by step, stubborn and determined, not to be questioned.

Deep in the lake, layers of ripples spread, as if it were as cold as the cold pond of the past. Laughter and sarcasm echoed in the ears, and then were slowly drowned out by the sound of water, and everything finally returned to silence.

Inside the palace, everything was quiet and peaceful under the cover of night, but the noble sons of the Western Garden were trembling as they witnessed a torture session, most of them were pale and vomiting continuously.

Gong Yangluo, whose body was covered in blood and bones were exposed, never imagined that the empress had already had the intention and ability to destroy the family. The Gongyang family should not have been the first one to be destroyed. It was all his own fault!

Even the female official Chunli didn't want to watch, let alone those noble young men. She thought that the master was ruthless in order to make them retreat.

In other words, the master will use any means to accomplish anything he wants, except the Yin family of Xizhou.

Now she should be called Queen Yin. After all, she has been formally canonized. Even if the ministers do not understand and the people are joking, the Lord has already recorded her in the ancestral temple, and it will remain unchanged forever.

At this moment, the candlelight in the main hall was flickering. Yin Xing didn't want to eat meat and chose to eat light lotus root, which made him even less appetizing.

Xuan Yizheng was even considerate enough to order someone to prepare pork ribs and lotus root soup without the ribs.

"You might be too timid, that's why you feel nauseous. It's better to eat something light now."

"Well, Yizhen doesn't eat meat either?"

Yin Xing silently bit the lotus root that was still connected by threads, feeling that if he ate this, he would turn into Lotus Root Nezha.

Xuan Yizhen tasted the soup slowly and calmly, "It's okay. I really like lotus roots."

Yin Xing, who originally wanted to smell the meat, suddenly felt disheartened and could only drink the broth in big gulps.

If Yin Xing were given another chance, he would never tell Xuan Yizheng that he felt sick and didn't want to eat meat, because she would take it seriously!

In the silence, the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding can be heard clearly, and the place is quiet and peaceful.

The female official came in to report: "Your Majesty, the nobles of the Western Garden have all requested to leave the palace."

Xuan Yizhen responded calmly, "Approved. I will give you another hundred gold coins."

After he finished speaking, Yin Xing was a little confused. Why did those young masters suddenly want to leave the palace in the middle of the night?!

After the female official left, Yin Xing said, "Yizhen, don't you want to ask the reason?"

Xuan Yizhen fed Yin Xing stewed lotus root with chopsticks and said leisurely, "Maybe they felt that staying in the palace was too boring, so they thought it through."

"That's right. Young masters are very fickle and never leave the house all day long. That's why they always fight and make trouble. It's good to let them out." Yin Xing muttered while biting a lotus root slice.

"You don't seem worried at all that they will threaten your position." Xuan Yizheng reminded Yin Xing helplessly.

Those noble sons entered the palace in the first place to compete for favor and throne. If they don't leave now, Gongyang Luo will be a lesson for them.

Yin Xing smiled with her eyes curved, "Hehe, because I know Yizhen only likes me."

If it were in the past, Yin Xing would not be so straightforward.

However, after experiencing such a big turmoil when the queen was enthroned, Yin Xing felt that he should be more frank with Xuan Yizheng.

After all, Xuan Yizhen risked the world's condemnation to admit his marriage to her. Even if Yin Xing was slow-witted, he should understand how passionate his love was.

Xuan Yizhen pursed his lips. For the first time, he felt that Yin Xing's eyes were a little too bright. His cheeks were slightly hot, and he murmured, "That's true."

"I only like Yizhen!" Yin Xing said seriously.

"Really? Then if I want to execute Jiang Yun and the others, would you be willing to do so?" Xuan Yizheng asked calmly.

Yin Xing's brain short-circuited at the question. Is Xuan Yi really that cruel?!

Ordinary people would only ask who they would save if their partner or mother jumped into the river.

However, Xuan Yizhen's question was particularly murderous. Yin Xing blinked and smiled sweetly, "Yizhen is so gentle and kind, he definitely wouldn't do that, right?"

Xuan Yizheng lowered her beautiful eyes to hide the darkness in her eyes. She tasted the lotus root slices elegantly without responding.

This reaction made Yin Xing's heart skip a beat, and he called out nervously, "Yizhen?"

"Yeah." Xuan Yizheng responded softly, as if nothing had happened, and it was impossible to tell that he had any thoughts at all.

"Are you unhappy with my answer?" Yin Xing said with some concern.

Xuan Yizhen quietly looked at Yin Xing's concerned expression, swallowing the food in her throat, and blinked her beautiful eyes as she replied, "A little bit."

Seeing Xuan Yizhen's calm reaction, Yin Xing felt that he had committed a heinous crime and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I absolutely like Yizhen the most, and this does not conflict with Jiang Yun and the others."

"But in your eyes, if I kill Jiang Yun and the others, I will no longer be your gentle and kind wife. I guess I will no longer be your favorite person."

“…”

Damn it, Yin Xing discovered that Xuan Yizheng was very good at finding loopholes in his words and capturing his subtle thoughts.

The originally harmonious dinner gradually became deserted, and even when taking a bath, Xuan Yizheng didn't get close to Yin Xing.

Late at night, the two of them got on the bed one after the other. Yin Xing looked at Huan who was half an arm's length away, and suddenly felt that it was not a good thing that the bed was too big!

Yin Xing slowly leaned closer, buried his head in the crook of Xuan Yizhen's neck, and kissed him carefully, muttering, "Yizhen, it's okay if you're not so gentle and kind, but killing people casually is wrong."

Xuan Yizhen closed his eyes, feeling the burning gaze, and said with a slight movement of his thin lips: "So you will dislike me because I am different from what you think?"

"No, because I know Yizhen is a gentle and kind person, otherwise he would have chased me away when we first met." Yin Xing nodded his head and leaned close to Xuan Yizhen in response.

"But I may not be the kind of person you think." Xuan Yizheng opened his eyes and looked into Yin Xing's sparkling eyes, feeling a little ashamed of himself.

At that time, Xuan Yizheng took in Yin Xing and let her go, just wanting to use her as bait to see how those who were monitoring the villa would react differently.

That's why Xuan Yizheng didn't hide Yin Xing's identity and even sent her directly back to Wenbin Garden. This caused the eldest princess and the third princess to fight for her, which led to the boat accident.

Looking at Xuan Yizhen's calm demeanor, Yin Xing felt a strange sense of sadness spreading over him. He was a little overwhelmed and said solemnly, "It's okay, Yizhen, just be yourself. I like everything!"

Xuan Yizhen looked at Yin Xing's fluttering eyelashes, which looked like butterfly wings, full of vitality. He put his arms around her and murmured, "Then you must keep your word, otherwise I will not forgive your betrayal."

"Well, I can swear an oath. Do you want to hear it, Yizhen?" Yin Xing tried to get close to Xuan Yizhen's warm embrace, wanting to make her happy.

In fact, Yin Xing had long felt the gap between Xuan Yizheng and what he had imagined, but as long as he liked him enough, nothing else mattered.

If you like someone, you will be willing to change and tolerate for the other person. Yin Xing feels that Xuan Yizhen's disguise towards him is also a kind of change and tolerance.

After all, other people, like the Third Princess, would just laugh at herself and call her a fool, but Xuan Yizheng wouldn't do that. She has always been very gentle and kind to herself.

Although Xuan Yizhen was somewhat indifferent and cold towards others, Yin Xing knew that the kindness she showed him was absolutely genuine.

Xuan Yizhen listened attentively to Yin Xing's breathing and heartbeat, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down. He said softly, "No, as long as you stay with me all the time, it's fine."

Yin Xing blinked as he looked at Xuan Yizhen in front of him, kissed her thin lips, and said with a hot face: "Then Yizhen, don't dislike me for being clingy in the future."

"Yeah, I won't mind." Xuan Yizheng's white fingertips jumped into Yin Xing's lotus pink clothes, feeling her lively heartbeat, wanting to hold it tightly in his palm.

If Xuan Yizheng wants something, she will do it, because Yin Xing has always been very obedient, and she never resists even if she feels uncomfortable.

Yin Xing noticed Xuan Yizheng's gentle caress, and her cheeks gradually turned red. She let herself become the shape of her palm, thinking that she was probably not angry anymore.

If Xuan Yi was really angry, he would generally not get close to her. It was obvious that her psychological feelings about doing such intimate things were greater than her physical experience.

This is Xuan Yizheng's little habit that Yin Xing secretly figured out.
