The Prince of Zhenbei watched the man lying on the coffin at night.

The situation is pretty much clearer now. This girl and this boy are truly destined for a tragic fate.

The prime minister watched the man drinking but didn't disturb him. After all, it was normal for someone to be sad and upset after their only son had died.

He only had one son, but he also had a wife. The wife of the Prince of Zhenbei had passed away many years ago, and the Regent Prince had been raised by Murong Zhi from a young age...

Every day, people come to pay their respects at the Regent's Palace, their faces filled with grief, and some even break down in tears...

Murong Zhi looked at those people and sighed.

Upon hearing the imperial edict, the Regent was buried in the imperial mausoleum with the highest honors... and even in a double imperial mausoleum, Murong Zhi was furious...

But looking at Di Junlan, who was now practically just an empty shell, besides feeling sad that his daughter had left so early, he also felt...

On the day of Murong Jin's funeral, people throughout the country knelt on the ground, praying for the Regent's well-being...

The moment the imperial mausoleum gates closed, Emperor Junlan's eyes were red, and then he fainted...

"His Majesty has fainted!!!"

………

Yu Jing'er looked at the pills in Murong Jin's hand and asked her, "What are these?"

Murong Jin: "A drug to fake death."

"It can make a person appear dead for half a month, but in order to ensure that the body is fully nourished, I still need to take some supplements before the accident."

Yu Jing'er: "What about breathing? There was no air when the coffin was sealed."

"There's no need to rush this. The fake death medicine can make a person lifeless for about nine days. So, you'd better hurry up and 'bury me in peace,' otherwise, I'm afraid Di Junlan will hold my corpse for days and nights."

Yu Jing'er nodded, "Alright, leave this matter to me. If His Majesty really does this, I will invite the Prince of Zhenbei over."

"Keep this from my father for now. That person can't act, but he can get angry. So, you need to make him angry in front of Emperor Junlan. What he says might be heard by His Majesty..."

Yu Jing'er nodded, looking at the calm-faced man, she even wondered if the Regent had ever liked His Majesty.

"Brother, can I ask you a question?"

Do you love His Majesty?

Murong Jin looked up at her. "Love? I don't think so yet, but as for liking someone, I do have a little bit."

like.

Yu Jing'er pursed her lips, "If you like it, why do it?"

"A person only grows when they lose the most important person or thing."

"His Majesty is still immature in handling affairs and easily listens to others. If you treat him even slightly well, he will treat others well in return. This personality trait is a fatal flaw for an emperor."

“The Fifth Prince was someone who helped him when he was a child. He regarded him as an elder brother and was soft-hearted towards him. However, if the Fifth Prince rebels and I die because of this incident and because of saving him, his state of mind will change greatly.”

One was a rebellious elder brother, the other was someone he loved, and the elder brother killed the person he loved...

"But with your martial arts skills, it's impossible that you couldn't even dodge an arrow."

Murong Jin's lips curled up. "For a normal person like me, that's certainly true. However, I am crippled in both legs..."

Yu Jing'er looked at her and said, "Okay."

Everything was going according to Murong Jin's plan. Yu Jing'er never considered that if she became enemies with Murong Jin, they might have no way to survive...

………

Inside the imperial mausoleum.

After the door slammed shut, a loud bang was heard as night fell, and a person sat up inside the coffin.

Murong Jin looked around. It was brightly lit, with luminous pearls placed all around, so it wasn't pitch black.

He looked at the burial objects beside him.

Emperor Junlan was quite generous.

A short while later, someone came in.

"master."

Yi Liu knelt on the ground to pay his respects, then immediately helped the person up and gave Murong Jin a pill.

After Murong Jin took the medicine, he regained a little strength.

I just used my internal energy to open the coffin lid, and now my body is extremely weak.

"how?"

Yi Liu: "Apart from the tomb keepers, the soldiers are all on the outer perimeter."

"There are three of us who infiltrated. They usually have weak auras and you can't even feel their breath when you're with them. Don't worry, Master, we haven't been discovered."

Murong Jin hummed in agreement, and Yi Liu carried the person on his back. Then he heard his master on his back say, "Put the things back in their original places."

The person in the shadows responded.

After leaving the royal tombs, Murong Jin left the capital in a carriage.

Looking at the city receding into the distance, Murong Jin sighed inwardly.

Goodbye, Your Majesty.

………

Two weeks later.

On the throne room.

"I intend to retire and return to my hometown."

Di Junlan looked at Murong Zhi's hair, which had turned many times white, and said, "The Prince of Zhenbei can go wherever he wants. He doesn't need to retire and return to his hometown."

Murong Zhi: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He then turned and left the Golden Palace.

Di Junlan felt uneasy, after all, that was A Jin's father.

After court, Li Mingzhong went to the Regent's Palace and found Murong Zhi. "Your Highness, you..."

"Prime Minister, it's quite boring to be alone. The reason I used to travel around without a care in the world was because there were people waiting for me at home. Now that I'm all alone, I might as well go out and relax."

The Regent's Palace still exists, and the main people are still there. The guards knelt before the Prince of Zhenbei and then left the Regent's Palace.

After that, the Regent's Palace was left with only the steward and a few servants.

Di Junlan knew that the guards around Murong Jin were arranged by the Prince of Zhenbei to protect her since she was a child. Now that their master was gone, those people took some money and left.

As for the Regent's Palace, there weren't many people left. Emperor Junlan arranged for people to clean up inside and repair some small lakeside ditches that had collapsed due to the heavy rain...

Murong Jin liked to fish there, and before he knew it, Di Junlan would also fish there whenever he had free time.

From then on, Ankesen could see that their emperor had changed a lot. He was no longer the emperor who talked a lot when he met his own people, and he no longer had the childish nature.

Or perhaps it could be said that his innocent side would never be revealed to them, because the person who could allow him to be his true self was gone...

...

Time rewinds.

cell.

On the first day after Murong Jin's funeral, Di Junlan came to the dungeon of Dark Tide.

After that day, the palace was filled with blood; some died, and others were wounded.

All the survivors were captured, especially the Fifth Prince, who was left on the ground by Di Junlan and was barely clinging to life.

After being kicked unconscious, the rebels were all thrown into prison.

After being tortured into confessing, those people from the Western Regions used the Fifth Prince to get what they wanted, while the Fifth Prince used them to obtain the throne he desired.

A cooperative relationship.
