Cough cough cough!
The pain came, Zhao Muyun bent down, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat.
Wu Shangzhi and Li Si looked worried.
Zhao Muyun waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Time is the greatest luxury.
"Come out for a walk with me!"
Fan Bingbing's heart tightened, and she took the initiative to step forward to support Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun felt the affection of his mentor's daughter, but he had not yet provided a proper arrangement for Princess Qinghe, who was under house arrest in the palace. How could he easily make a promise to Bingbing?
He did not refuse Bingbing's support, for fear of hurting her feelings.
Li Si and Wu Shangzhi took the initiative to walk about ten feet away from the two men.
The four of them then walked to the hidden lookout point at the highest point of the villa.
Looking south to the capital, that is the vortex of power; looking north to Shuozhou, that is the land where Zhao Muyun has taken root.
The river water in Black Wind Gorge is freezing, but it is more sobering than the gentle swords in the capital.
The Crown Prince thought he was reaping the rewards, while His Majesty was perhaps regretting his deathbed, while the Prince of Jin was secretly watching...
They were all wrong.
The chessboard is still there, but the players have changed their identities.
Zhao Muyun went from being a chess piece to a player in the shadows.
"Order: From today on, there is no Zhao Muyun, only... 'Yun Ying'."
"Yes! Yun Shuai!"
Wu Shangzhi Li Si knelt on one knee, his voice low and firm.

The ambergris mixed with the woman's body fragrance and the strange smell of medicine and stones lingered in the air.
Emperor Yongchang, Yin Chengqian, lay slumped on the dragon couch, his face pale, his eye sockets sunken, his breathing like an old bellows.
The news of Zhao Muyun's death was like a final blow, draining away his remaining spirit.
Sometimes he was lucid, and he would beat the bed and angrily curse "violent bandits" and "thorough investigation"; sometimes he was confused, and he would grab Concubine Xiao's hand and mutter "Zhao Qing... I'm sorry for you..."
Concubine Xiao was wearing a light gauze dress and looked at his decayed appearance with cold eyes, with only disgust and pleasure in her heart.
She pretended to shed tears and soothed him softly, but secretly sent reports of the emperor's deteriorating condition to the Eastern Palace through her trusted eunuchs.
"Your Majesty...it's time to take your medicine..."
The imperial physician tremblingly brought the ginseng soup, which was mixed with tiger and wolf medicine.
"Get lost... I don't need it..."
The emperor waved his hand weakly, but his mouth was dry due to a burst of internal heat.
Concubine Xiao took the medicine bowl and smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, the dragon's health is the most important thing. Only by taking the medicine can you recover quickly..."
She fed him herself, her eyes cold.
Die soon, old man...
Lu Chunfang, who was accompanying the emperor, was worried about the emperor and felt uneasy about the frequent orders given by the crown prince, but he dared not speak out.
