Chapter 316: Night Visit to the Palace of Heavenly Purity



Xiao Jinghan sneered and said, "Wise King, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!" There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, and the soft sword in his hand trembled slightly, showing that he was ready to take action.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the wise king quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, it's my uncle's fault! It was my uncle who did not tell you in advance that Military Advisor Kong is my man! But, you also have to understand my uncle! He is the life-saving talisman left to me by my father!" He explained anxiously, hoping to calm Xiao Jinghan's anger.

Seeing that Xiao Jinghan didn't respond, he hurriedly added: "I have a set of jewelry given by the late emperor, which I think is very suitable for your princess to wear! I will send someone to deliver it to you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinghan finally put away his soft sword and smiled: "Uncle, please! Military Advisor Kong, please! Someone, bring some good tea!"

Luo Lingyue was stunned watching from the side. She had never thought that with just a few words, she could trick someone into giving her a set of precious jewelry! She couldn't help but sigh that her husband was really smart!

The wise king walked slowly into the house with heavy steps, sat down on a soft chair with a tired look on his face, stretched out his hands and placed them on the stove to warm them gently.

He sighed deeply, his eyes revealing endless sorrow and helplessness. "Ever since my brother was appointed Crown Prince, he has viewed me as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and has been constantly trying to get rid of me. Unfortunately, I was too naive at the time and didn't realize this, still treating him as a brother. It wasn't until later that I discovered his sinister and cunning nature, and his extremely cruel methods. If it weren't for Military Advisor Kong, I'm afraid I would have died long ago, and I don't know how many times I would have died!"

After saying this, the virtuous king turned to look at Kong Boda, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Military Advisor Kong not only saved my life, but also taught me many ways to behave in society. It can be said that he is not only my savior, but also my mentor and helpful friend!"

Then, the virtuous king turned to look at Xiao Jinghan again and earnestly instructed: "Now that I have avenged my great hatred, my wish has been fulfilled. From now on, let Military Advisor Kong follow my nephew. I hope he can continue to serve the court and assist the King of Qin together with my nephew. My nephew, please ensure the safety of Military Advisor Kong and never let him come to any harm again!"

Xiao Jinghan said to Kong Boda with a serious expression, "Uncle, please rest assured! I will do my best to protect Military Advisor Kong's safety. Military Advisor Kong must not reveal his identity until it is absolutely safe! Now, you should return to Emperor Wen as soon as possible!"

Kong Boda nodded hesitantly after hearing this. His face was solemn as he continued, "According to my speculation, this Jin Xiaohe is very likely the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister's agent. I don't know what methods she used to bewitch Your Majesty so completely, to the point where Your Majesty can't leave her alone at all times. Even stranger is that Your Majesty has begun to completely trust the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister. Given Your Majesty's personality, this is almost impossible!"

At this time, the virtuous king yawned and said lazily: "You two can continue to talk about these important matters. I have to go back to accompany the princess."

At this moment, Luo Lingyue suddenly said, "Uncle, if my aunt is about to give birth, can you please ask Dr. Xi to come over?"

Upon hearing this, the virtuous king's face lit up with joy, and he said excitedly, "That's great! I'll trouble you, my niece-in-law!"

After the virtuous king left, Xiao Jinghan looked at Luo Lingyue and asked with a somewhat teasing tone: "Xiao Yue'er, what do you think, should we go to the Ganqing Palace at night?" The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

Kong Boda, who was standing by, looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Highness, if you and the princess want to go and check on His Majesty's condition, then I can go back to the Qianqing Palace first and withdraw the secret guards there..." His voice was low and firm, but his eyes revealed his worry about this decision.

However, Luo Lingyue shook her head gently, her eyes calm and firm, as if she had already seen through everything.

She said slowly: "No, we can handle the secret guards in the palace ourselves. You should not make any big moves for the time being, so as not to arouse the prince's suspicion." Her voice was calm and decisive, and it was obvious that she had thought about this issue carefully.

After Kong Boda returned to the palace, he kept wondering what Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue were capable of to avoid the dense spider web of secret guards! He was very curious about their abilities, so he decided to find out for himself.

He quietly climbed onto the roof of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and hid carefully, not daring to blink for fear of missing any details. He watched every move in the Palace of Heavenly Purity intently, hoping to find some clues.

Just then, a beautiful butterfly flew in from afar and landed gracefully in a corner of the palace. Kongboda rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things. How could a butterfly appear in such a cold winter? He was filled with doubt, but he didn't want to miss any important information, so he continued to observe.

He blinked his eyes and saw his deceased parents and wife. His wife said, "Boda! Come in and have dinner!"

Xiao Jinghan watched Luo Lingyue successfully summon the Dream Butterflies, and a touch of emotion welled up in his heart. This group of beautiful and mysterious butterflies seemed to bring back memories for him.

Luo Lingyue nervously urged, "Hurry up! We only have half an incense stick of time!" She nudged Xiao Jinghan's arm with her elbow, reminding him to hurry up. However, Xiao Jinghan was still somewhat absent-minded, as if immersed in his own thoughts.

Seeing this, Luo Lingyue frowned slightly, and without hesitation, she grabbed Xiao Jinghan's hand and dragged him towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Her steps were firm and powerful, revealing a kind of courage and determination.

Xiao Jinghan finally came to his senses. He looked down at Luo Lingyue's hand, which was tightly held by her. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. He asked softly, "Did you learn the summoning technique in another world?"

Luo Lingyue nodded and replied, "Yes! Is there anyone here who can summon dream butterflies?" There was a hint of curiosity and doubt in her tone.

Xiao Jinghan's voice suddenly became low and sad, and he said slowly: "Once upon a time, only my mother could summon the dream butterfly..." His eyes flashed with longing for his mother.

Luo Lingyue felt the sadness deep in his heart. She gently patted Xiao Jinghan's hand and comforted him, "Don't be sad. The past cannot be changed, but there is still a long way to go in the future. We will definitely avenge your mother in the future!" Her words were full of firmness and determination, giving Xiao Jinghan endless courage and strength.
