"Jin Wanyue?"

Di Junlan's mother was named Jin Wanling.

This person is merely a rumor, and her name is Jin Wanyue; she is also a sorceress from the Kingdom of Jinling.

Perhaps this sorceress is Emperor Junlan's aunt, Jin Wanling, the younger sister of Consort Ling.

Murong Jin didn't think it was just a rumor; it was probably true.

This is getting more and more interesting.

If Jin Wanyue wanted the Evil Eye and killed the officials and innocent people of Dacheng, what choice would Emperor Junlan make?

After all, if the mastermind behind the killing of so many people is his aunt, which side would he favor?

Ankersen never expected that some of the secret information he uncovered would actually be related to His Majesty.

“Report this matter truthfully to His Majesty.”

Ankesen: "Of course, then I shall take my leave."

Before leaving, An Kesen glanced again at the woman sitting on Murong Jin's lap. She was alluring, her fingers tracing circles in Murong Jin's hair...

The moment he stepped out the door, he even saw Murong Jin lower his head, the scene resembling him lowering his head to kiss the woman in his arms...

My heart aches and feels a little painful.

...

Murong Jin became interested in Yu Jing'er.

What would happen to Yu Jing'er if His Majesty found out?

If Murong Jin didn't protect her, the deep affection hidden in his eyes couldn't be faked.

My mind is in turmoil, and I've entered a state of inner conflict.

...

"I didn't realize that Your Highness's acting skills were no less than mine."

Murong Jin let her play with her hair. "An Kesen, do you like him?"

That was before.

"Oh? It seems you two really do have some connection. Judging from An Kesen's expression, he doesn't seem to dislike you. How did you two fall out?"

Yu Jing'er climbed off her lap. "Grandma saved him back then, but I never expected that he would abandon her after he recovered."

Murong Jin's eyes gleamed with gossip. "Oh? I didn't realize An Kesen would do something like this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing'er's face was filled with indignation, "I saved him, and he ran away as soon as he recovered!"

"Tell me about it."

"That's right. Back then, I sneaked out as a farm girl. An Kesen was probably being chased at the time, so I brought her back to my little shabby house..."

"To avoid being discovered by him, I spent my days farming and selling things... Later, after he recovered, he said a few words to me, thanking me for saving his life, and then gave me some silver. Seeing his hesitant expression, I didn't say anything. Then, in the middle of the night, he ran away..."

Murong Jin choked.

That's it?

That's it?

It's a waste of her gossipy nature.

Then, in a flat tone, she replied, "Oh."

Yu Jing'er looked at her, "No, weren't you acting very interested? Why are you so cold now?"

Murong Jin's face was somewhat complicated, and he didn't know what to say. He could only say expressionlessly, "A rough-and-tumble general falls in love with a peasant girl?"

Yu Jing'er: "..."

Okay.

How could such a book have ended up in the world?

Who wrote this?!

Meanwhile, Ling Qiao'er, who was far away in the east of the city, couldn't help but sneeze.

...

"By the way, Your Highness, when you were chatting just now, did you mention Jin Wanyue, the Western Regions sorceress?"

Murong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly; she didn't believe Yu Jing'er hadn't heard clearly.

"Ahem, it's like this, Yumen recently received a mysterious guest. Judging from her figure, she is a woman, and she also has black tattoos on her hands that represent the Western Regions, which are patterns of Gu worms."

"As for the rest, I can only say that that person probably wants to cooperate with Yumen, after all, Yumen is also an expert in Gu insects."

“Yumen has been established for hundreds of years. It’s impossible that they can’t even deal with a small Gu worm. Besides, the Western Regions are a mixed bag, with both good and bad people.”

"If anyone needs a cure, let me take a look. I may not be very skilled, but I can usually tell what kind of curse it is."

Looking at the woman's beaming face, especially her confident demeanor, Murong Jin was reminded of her own unrestrained personality back then. "Well then, it's a pleasure to cooperate, Miss Yu."

Yu Jing'er looked at her and grinned, "It's a pleasure working with you, my future husband."

"If you want to retaliate against Ankersen, you can ask me to put on a show. As for killing someone, then don't do it."

“I know, he’s the commander of the Imperial Guard. If I kill him, wouldn’t I be going against the entire Imperial Guard and the Great Cheng? I’m not that stupid. Besides, he didn’t kill my father… He just abandoned me and wouldn’t explain things to me. I have to get revenge…”

Murong Jin: "Okay."

Should we send someone to investigate the reason behind this?

Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between An Kesen and Yu Jing'er?

The Imperial City, the Imperial Study.

Ankersen placed the documents on the table. "Your Majesty, this is new information."

Emperor Junlan buried himself in reading the memorials. His experience in handling official business had been growing richer lately, all thanks to the assignments and problems that Murong Jin had given him.

Especially after someone sent the homework to the Regent's Palace, someone brought it to the palace the next morning, along with the correct answers personally provided by Murong Jin.

If his answer is correct and perfect, there will be a "good" or "great" comment below the assignment.

It's no small feat to earn praise from Murong Jin.

"By the way, Ankerson, what is the Regent doing now?"

Ankesen looked sullen; he was flirting with a woman.

That woman almost became his wife.

As a result, she ran into Murong Jin's arms.

I don't know how Jing'er and Murong Jin met.

Seeing that scene today, I really wanted to kill Murong Jin and then snatch Yu Jing'er away.

Unfortunately, he couldn't.

"Recently, the investigation into Lord Lin's case has been ongoing. The Regent has visited Jinzhuang, the Censorate, and the Court of Judicial Review. It seems he's going to meet with people from the martial arts world, especially the leader of the Ruijing Sect."

"If the Ruijing Sect was manipulated, then it will be punished accordingly. If it was intentional, then the Regent may need to discuss with the Martial Alliance how to deal with the Ruijing Sect in accordance with the law."

"However, it is said that the leader of the martial arts alliance is currently in seclusion, and no one knows where he is."

Emperor Junlan hummed in agreement, his expression growing increasingly cold as he looked at the contents of the documents.

Jin Wanling, Jin Wanyue.

The evil eye of Jinling Kingdom.

Wizards of Jinling Kingdom, wizards of the Western Regions.

He could understand every word, especially those names.

The thought of them together made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a melodious tune was heard, and Di Junlan's eyes darkened slightly. An Kesen also heard the sound.

He immediately looked at the dazed Emperor Junlan, and was shocked, "Your Majesty!"
