Emperor Junlan was now delirious, like a puppet. An Kesen followed him out of the imperial study and into the backyard.

Then I saw a dark figure standing on the eaves.

"who!!!"

Though it was difficult to see clearly in the darkness, An Kesen clearly saw the shadowy figure's movements: playing the flute.

Were those melodies we just heard meant to hypnotize His Majesty?

That's fucking outrageous.

Is there really such an unbelievable thing in this world?

"Imperial Guard!"

None of the soldiers and guards assigned to watch over the imperial study came out.

This made An Kesen even more vigilant. After staying by Di Junlan's side, he initially thought of knocking Di Junlan unconscious, but he was afraid that something might go wrong.

"His Majesty of the Great Cheng? He seems to be nothing special."

Ankersen gripped his sword. "Who are you? Don't you know that trespassing into the palace is a capital offense?"

"Hehehehehehe... Death penalty?"

The woman's voice was strained, "You think you can take me on?"

Before An Kesen could react, Di Junlan had already arrived beside the woman.

The current situation perfectly describes our isolation and helplessness.

"You are the emperor of the Great Cheng?"

The woman looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was somewhat familiar, especially his eyebrows and eyes.

"yes……"

Ankersen was extremely anxious as he looked at His Majesty, who was being restrained.

"Tell me, if you die, will the Great Cheng still be safe and sound?"

Emperor Junlan: "Yes."

"oh?"

Di Junlan's eyes were somewhat bloodshot. "Because there is a regent."

"Regent, he's been hunting us down lately. What do you think? Should we kill him too?"

Di Junlan chuckled lightly, "You can't kill him."

The woman realized that a sharp blade had pierced her shoulder blade, and she used her light-footed skills to fly up into the air.

To everyone's surprise, Di Junlan actually regained consciousness at this moment, "You..."

Di Junlan stood with his hands behind his back, not needing the woman in the sky. "A lullaby? That's quite interesting."

"You're the wizard?"

"Come, let me guess, are you from the Western Regions or from the Golden Ridge Kingdom?"

"Judging from his appearance, he should be from the Jinling Kingdom, since the Western Regions and the Jinling Kingdom dress differently."

"Or should I call you Grand Wizard, or Jin Wanyue?"

Under the woman's shocked gaze, Emperor Junlan smiled wickedly, "Or perhaps, I should call you, Aunt?"

"After all, she is my mother's sister, so calling her 'aunt' should be appropriate."

The woman opened her eyes wide.

Aunt?

younger sister.

"You, you are..."

As the sound drew nearer, the woman's eyes were filled with the image of Di Junlan. After playing a final tune, numerous Gu worms appeared on the ground...

"Your Majesty, be careful of the insects on the ground."

Taking advantage of the chaos, the woman escaped and vanished without a trace.

Di Junlan stood there, looking at the dense swarms of insects on the ground.

For a moment, I felt that this thing was really weird.

"Your subordinate arrived too late to save Your Majesty."

Emperor Junlan waved his hand, "Let's go back to the palace."

An Kesen told them to follow behind, while Di Junlan went back and pondered some questions.

That person clearly wanted to control him, to make him deal with himself, preferably by committing suicide in front of her.

But he didn't miss the shock in the woman's eyes after he asked those last questions.

In other words, this woman did not know that he was her mother's... Jin Wanling's child.

Auntie?

He was quite looking forward to seeing what kind of surprise this person would bring him.

"Your Majesty, that person..."

"Yes, it's Jin Wanyue, the great shaman of Jinling Kingdom, who is also my aunt from my mother's side, whom I never knew."

"Then she..."

Emperor Junlan: "If the Lin Hexi case, and the people who lost their lives because of the Evil Eye, were all done by her, then I will not care about so-called family ties."

Besides, he had no idea he had any relatives in this world, and even if he did, they were just strangers with some kind of elder title.

Hearing his words, An Kesen knew that if Jin Wanyue had killed someone, he would not let her go according to the laws of Da Cheng.

"But Your Majesty, what if this person isn't?"

Emperor Junlan chuckled lightly, "If it weren't for that, I could kill her without any scruples."

As for the Evil Eye, based on the information recently gathered, it can bring people back to life…

Emperor Junlan's heart trembled slightly.

If it really is Jin Wanyue, then the person she wants to resurrect... could it be her?

"An Kesen, go and investigate the great fire at the palace more than ten years ago."

Ankesen's eyes widened in surprise. "Yes."

Suddenly, I've figured some things out.

………

"My lord, something has happened in the palace."

Murong Jin yawned, her tone indifferent, "Emperor Junlan was killed?"

Jinliu: "...was assassinated."

Murong Jin: "Dead?"

"No."

Murong Jin: "That's fine."

Dai Lingyuan overheard the conversation as he walked down the corridor, and for a moment he didn't know what to think.

"Isn't he someone you've been planning to groom recently? Why are you wondering if he's dead or not?"

Murong Jin: "If he's dead, it means he has no strength. He couldn't even handle this kind of assassination attempt. He's unlikely to amount to anything. If he's not dead, it means he's still useful."

Dai Lingyuan: "Aren't you curious who wants to kill him?"

"It's nothing more than the maternal family wanting to avenge their older sister, but the old one died, so they could only turn to the younger one, only to find out that the younger one was also from the maternal family..."

Dai Lingyuan: "...You knew everything?"

Murong Jin hummed in agreement.

It's not hard to understand.

"By the way, Jing'er."

"Hey, I'm here." Yu Jing'er's voice came from inside the house, sounding a little sleepy.

Murong Jin: "Arrange for some Gu masters to enter the palace." With Gu masters in the palace, she could feel more at ease.

"Okay, no problem."

During the meal, Lan Ziyao sat to the side watching Yu Jing'er and Murong Jin being intimate, wondering why his senior brother had agreed to be with Yu Jing'er so quickly.

I can't figure it out.

What are you planning to do at the Valley of Divine Healers?

Hearing Murong Jin ask him, Lan Ziyao sat up straight and said, "Go and get two medical books."

"I'll have someone go to the Valley of Divine Healers to get it for you. Now I'm giving you a task."

"Please speak, senior brother."

Murong Jin: "Go to the palace to take care of Emperor Junlan. If he gets injured, just make sure he doesn't die."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ziyao replied, "Okay, no problem. But he's in danger, should I save him?"

Murong Jin glanced at him, her tone indifferent, "No need." With your pathetic skills? It's a miracle anyone didn't even help you.

Lan Ziyao understood, "Hmph ╯^╰"
