After dropping this bombshell news, Yin Changling took Tu Shan Lingxi's hand and left the palace.
Tu Shan Lingxi was wearing a large black cloak that completely covered her small body, making her invisible to everyone else.
The two, one tall and one short, walked away hand in hand, their silhouettes perfectly harmonious, like a perfect couple.
He left, leaving the courtiers looking at each other in bewilderment. What did this mean? His Majesty had failed to choose a queen in the recent general election.
Forget about choosing a queen, they haven't even chosen a wife or concubine yet, and they've all been bewitched by this woman of unknown origin?
Although they acknowledged that the woman was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, her beauty could rival that of a legendary beauty, but—
They still don't know the woman's identity; they need to find out who she is!
The position of Queen is so prestigious; how could a woman of unknown origin be chosen for it?
Although this woman is indeed exceptionally beautiful, and no one could resist such a beauty, His Majesty's decision is far too hasty!
The ministers were dissatisfied, mainly because they wanted to become relatives of the king and enjoy the benefits that came with the position of queen.
During His Majesty's recent election, they went to great lengths to hire the best dancers and musicians for their daughters and sisters, but even so, they were not elected.
But now the position of queen has been taken by an unknown little woman, which is a disgrace to them.
That woman was indeed beautiful, but such a seductive and bewitching person would be fine as a mere lady; she was hardly worthy of being the queen!
Unfortunately, when Yin Changling was around, no one dared to raise any questions. They all turned into quails, afraid of having their heads chopped off.
Now that Yin Changling is gone, they only dare to gossip about him behind his back. The more they talk, the more their emotions begin to get agitated.
But it was all in vain; who could change Yin Changling's decision?
The ministers were indignant, but they dared not speak out loud, only whispering among themselves.
Only when they could no longer see Yin Changling did they dare to get up. By then, their clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
They exchanged a knowing glance before leaving together, the meaning of which was that they would discuss it further outside and reach a conclusion together.
They must persuade His Majesty to change Yin Changling's mind!
...
Yin Changling took Tu Shanlingxi's hand and walked back together. He was in a good mood after last night, and this little girl had finally become his.
The two were a match made in heaven, a destiny ordained by fate!
The scene that Tu Shan Lingxi caused this morning made Yin Changling clearly realize that he was in Xi'er's heart, which made him feel even more at ease.
So, although he appeared calm and composed on the surface, he was secretly overjoyed.
Yin Changling was preoccupied with planning to marry Tu Shan Lingxi and bring her back to the palace. He wanted the wedding to be incredibly extravagant, with all sorts of spoils of war and jewels brought out.
He thought about it haphazardly, and his excitement grew. He couldn't wait to hold the wedding!
But Tu Shan Lingxi was completely different from what he thought. She felt guilty, and this guilt reached its peak when she heard that Yin Changling wanted to marry her and make her his queen.
The little fox is already thinking of running away!
But she didn't know whether she had actually killed Yin Yi that day.
She had wasted several days in a row, and with the day when the Grand Preceptor would emerge from seclusion drawing ever closer, she really didn't want to return empty-handed.
The little fox wasn't good at lying; making excuses was too much trouble, so he decided to just ask directly.
Thinking of this, Tu Shan Lingxi tugged at Yin Changling's large hand, signaling him to listen to her and not get distracted.
"Changling~"
Her crisp voice rang out, instantly attracting Yin Changling's attention. The man's deep voice followed, rising at the end, indicating he was in a good mood.
"Um?"
Yin Changling was quite curious and wanted to know what else she wanted to say to him, so he listened attentively.
"Did I kill Yin Yi that day? He was a beast worse than a pig or a dog. I had a grudge against him. He deserved to die!"
Yin Changling didn't expect that Tu Shan Lingxi would ask about what happened that day again.
Yin Changling narrowed his eyes, his mind racing. It seemed that Xi'er was completely unaware of what that wandering ghost had done.
Although he didn't know why things suddenly changed that day, Xi'er wasn't injured, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
However, seeing how well-behaved Tu Shan Lingxi was today and how boldly she expressed her feelings, Yin Changling was in a good mood and didn't intend to hide it from her, so he replied.
"Hmm, you were possessed by something that day, and I watched you kill Yin Yi with my own eyes. His body is still here. Do you want to whip the corpse to vent your anger?"
When Yin Changling said this, he seemed quite understanding. Although he hadn't heard Xi'er admit it herself last night, he could roughly figure out what had happened.
Xi'er was probably abused by Yin Yi. She kept crying out in pain yesterday, so it seems that the enmity between the two was formed back then.
Yin Changling wholeheartedly agreed with the idea of seeking justice for wrongs and revenge for grudges, and therefore did not oppose it; in fact, he even supported it.
Tu Shan Lingxi waved her hands repeatedly in refusal. She was satisfied with the answer she wanted. Since Yin Yi was dead, there was no need for her to stay.
Especially after what happened last night, wouldn't the little fox want to turn over a new leaf and become a fox again?
"No...no more, it's better if he's dead. That beast is just a waste of water and food to be alive, he deserves to die!"
Tu Shan Lingxi seemed to hate that person intensely. She swung her fair little fists fiercely, wishing she could rush up and deliver a couple more blows.
Once she calmed down, she started planning her departure.
Having experienced rebirth, the little fox trusted dreams implicitly, believing that yesterday's dream was a reminder.
If she doesn't return and the Grand Preceptor discovers she's missing, it will lead to the two men killing each other, resulting in mutual destruction.
Although Tu Shan Lingxi had no concept of morality, she still cared about the Grand Preceptor and couldn't let herself cause his death again!
As for Yin Changling, she ultimately didn't want him to die. Yin Changling's brutality was directed at corrupt officials, making life easier for ordinary people.
His presence in office is far better than those hypocrites who spout empty platitudes about benevolence and morality. Those hypocrites like Yin Yi, who practice nepotism and exploit the people, are the ones who shouldn't be alive.
The little fox knew exactly what was going on. She secretly resolved to find an opportunity to leave as soon as possible and not repeat the setbacks of her previous life.
And then there's Yi Changfeng. I wonder how he's doing out there. I miss his cooking a bit.
And so on...
The little fox made up its mind; it seemed it had to find a chance to leave!
