Since Murong Jin had said so, Emperor Junlan naturally went along with him, and returned to the palace with a pitiful look in his eyes (???︿???).

Murong Jin: "Your Majesty, please take care."

Emperor Lan: "..."

The regent, who never fell in love with him, remained clueless about romance, and he didn't blame him.

I can only blame myself for being so useless; I haven't managed to win him over yet.

………

Upon arriving at the imperial city, Emperor Junlan's gaze fell upon a figure not far away.

"What are you doing following me?"

He said that the commotion in the Prince's mansion belonged to someone else, but Murong Jin said it might have been his guards.

Jin Wanyue stood on the roof, "I've come to see you."

"What are you looking at me for? Or do you want me to get bitten by an insect again?"

Jin Wanyue choked for a moment, "I didn't know you existed back then."

Di Junlan naturally knew what she was talking about, "What do you want the Evil Eye for?"

"Save my sister." She didn't say "save your mother," because she was afraid the child might also hate his sister.

After all, at that time, Di Junlan was just a small child who needed his parents to take care of him.

Di Junlan was taken aback.

He considered many possibilities: Jin Wanyue's appearance in Da Cheng was either to kill the late emperor or to avenge her mother...

His mother... isn't dead...

"When I found her, she was being protected in a sea of ​​blood. That person was the one who started that fire back then."

"He loved his sister, and in the end, he came to Da Cheng to see how she was doing. If she was happy, he would return to Jinling Kingdom; if she was unhappy, he wanted to take her home..."

"Later, after learning about his sister's ordeal, he successfully entered Dacheng and orchestrated the fire to take her away."

"Because the fire was too big, my sister inhaled a lot of smoke and was unconscious for quite a long time. After she woke up, she wanted to go find you, but it was during the chaos in Jinling Kingdom that someone found her."

Jin Wanyue's eyes showed some sadness. "My sister is the Holy Maiden of Jinling Kingdom. No one knows this, since I became the Holy Maiden during the selection process."

"Some people want to use the Holy Maiden's abilities to rule the Golden Ridge Kingdom. On her way to find you, she and that warrior were ambushed..."

"I suffered severe head trauma, and it's been like that ever since."

They haven't woken up yet.

“I came here two years ago. After learning that my sister was still alive, I just wanted her to wake up.”

Di Junlan's fingers twitched slightly. "So, you've found a way?"

“I found it. I didn’t find the Evil Eye, but I found the Regent.”

Emperor Junlan's face remained calm: "Regent? What does this have to do with Murong Jin?"

He was raised by Zhao Delin, who was an ordinary eunuch at the time, but his mother saved him.

He lost his mother when he was two years old, and his memories of her were very vague. He only knew that she was a very gentle person.

His mother died, and the man, seeing that he was young, comforted him with gifts, but this only lasted for two years.

When he was four years old, he saw Zhao Delin being bullied by a group of people, and when he rushed over, he was also beaten up.

Fortunately, although he was not favored by the emperor, he was still a prince, so those people didn't dare to beat him to death...

He met Murong Jin when he was seven years old, and Murong Jin secretly gave him a brocade pouch containing many pieces of gold.

His words allowed him to live a peaceful life for a while, but he later found a way to leave the palace and met his current master...

Looking at Jin Wanyue, he asked, "So, what are you trying to say?"

Jin Wanyue looked at him, a slight smile appearing on her face. "I just came to apologize." Because you are my sister's child, I extend my affection to you as well, even though you carry the blood of someone she hates to the core...

As Jin Wanyue prepared to leave, she turned to Di Junlan and said, "I think you seem to really like Murong Jin."

Di Junlan's face stiffened: "What does this have to do with you..."

"Oh, I'll help you out another day." Judging from his expression, it seems the nephew has a one-sided crush on her.

That devil Murong Jin managed to turn her eldest nephew into a homosexual.

After Jin Wanyue left, Emperor Junlan headed towards the Imperial Study.

Zhao Delin, standing behind him, looked at the silent monarch.

The Empress is still alive.

Okay, okay.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"I want some peace and quiet."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Delin withdrew.

After all, knowing that one's mother is still alive, no one would not have some thoughts.

………

"Lan Ziyao!!!"

Lan Ziyao sat down next to the medicine stove. "Aunt Jin, what's up?"

"Tell me quickly, what is the relationship between Di Junlan and Murong Jin?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Ziyao looked at her travel-worn appearance and asked, "You didn't go and follow someone, did you?"

"Will you tell me or not?"

Lan Ziyao: "Speak, speak, in short, your eldest nephew is harassing my Regent."

Jin Wanyue: "Is Emperor Junlan entangled with Murong Jin?"

"Yes, that's what I heard when I was at the Prince's Palace. It was said that when my Regent was 7 or 8 years old, or maybe 6? I forgot. Bodhidharma was around that age when I saved your eldest nephew."

Upon hearing this, Jin Wanyue was surprised to learn that such a thing had actually happened.

"Ahem, it is said that His Majesty was bullied by a group of people. When my senior brother first went to the palace to pay his respects to the late Emperor, he passed by and rescued the people. So His Majesty has remembered him for 13 years."

"Is that so? That should be a life-saving grace, how did it turn into falling in love with Murong Jin?"

Lan Ziyao scratched his head, "This is a long story..."

"Then let's get to the point."

Lan Ziyao: "..."

After gathering his thoughts, he coughed lightly, "It's like this, my senior brother was only twelve years old at the time..."

After hearing the whole story, Jin Wanyue felt that the encounter was quite dramatic.

Murong Jin's stunning beauty was captivating not only to women but also to men.

It's perfectly normal for my nephew to fall for Murong Jin.

"Ahem, does the Regent have someone he likes?"

Lan Ziyao shook his head. "No, over the years, I've seen many women approach him but I've never noticed any romantic interest in any of them."

"Furthermore, last time, to reject the advances of other women, my senior brother publicly stated that he prefers men, not women..."

Jin Wanyue was stunned. Could it be like this?

"Women in the capital were heartbroken, but some men were eyeing my senior brother. After all, he was the regent, powerful and influential. Even if he became his favorite, he would still have wealth and status..."

Jin Wanyue said "Oh," and then added, "So, some people want to use this to take crooked and illegal paths."

"That's right, some people even tried to find out where Senior Brother was and even tried to drug him..."

Jin Wanyue: "!"

"Are you saying that Murong Jin was drugged?"

Lan Ziyao: "Someone tried it, but my senior brother discovered it beforehand and it didn't work."

Jin Wanyue: "Awesome."
