Because Yu Ling has the "weakness" of the King of Dongli, she is often pulled to make selfless contributions to Beishang, and her importance to Beishang gradually increases, even to the point that she is almost on par with Feng Yi in the heart of the King of Beishang.
Therefore, the Northern King, who was good at using his subordinates as tools, summoned Yu Ling to his side to assist him for convenience. With the addition of Feng Yi, a multi-functional son-in-law, he became increasingly satisfied with the governance of the country.
Liu Morian took on the responsibility of caring for the two captured kings in place of Yu Ling, because the King of Dongli was almost suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). He would tremble all over whenever he saw Yu Ling, and Yu Ling used this as an excuse to never come here again.
It's a pity about the King of Nanyue.
He wanted to make friends with his hearty dining companion, Yu Ling, but he was too busy to wait for her. Meanwhile, President Wang of Dongli was frequently taken out and returned covered in injuries, for reasons unknown.
Liu Molian was too embarrassed to explain. She couldn't very well say that Dongli King was being used as a tool to threaten Yu Ling into doing her work, or she would lose face.
"Little Liu, your king always seeks out the Northern King with his thick skin, thus adding so many extra meals to his life. He's quite skilled at it."
That day, as usual, Liu Morian came to the palace to visit the two widowed kings. The King of Nanyue, having eaten his fill, felt a desire to chat more, so he kept Liu Morian there, speaking earnestly to her.
"Hasn't Yi Lanbin already established himself in the palace? You need to find a way out for yourself. Staying in the pharmacy as a doctor all the time isn't a good long-term solution!"
"I'm not as talented as Lanbin, so it's already good enough that I have something to do." Liu Molian didn't want to trouble Yuling and never asked for anything for herself.
However, Yu Ling was lazy and entrusted all of his salary to him to manage, which moved Liu Molian very much. At least he never had to worry about money and often bought things for Yu Ling.
“You know that’s not what I meant… It’s said that under Yi Lanbin’s guidance, the grain production in Beishang is getting higher and higher, and all the former prisoners and laborers have been stripped of their status as inferior people and have been reclassified as commoners.”
When the King of Nanyue noticed Liu Morian starting to drift off into thought, he assumed his overthinking subordinate was just being sentimental again and offered him some comforting words.
“Gu’e, my wife and children are doing quite well in the old Nan Yue region, which is now Nancheng! National unification is the inevitable trend. Let go of your worries. You’re not young anymore; it’s time to settle down, start a family, and make plans for yourself.”
"But……"
Liu Morian hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. He had had that kind of relationship with Yi Lanbin (yes, he hadn't come to terms with it yet), so he couldn't possibly harm other young girls, could he?
"Queen Beishang even asked me privately if you had ever been married. I said all the right things to you. It seems you and Princess Yanxi are very destined for each other. What do you think? I need to give her an answer," King Nanyue asked.
"No! You must refuse immediately. There is absolutely no possibility between me and the princess!"
Liu Morian was excited, her face growing redder and redder as she spoke.
"In short, you shouldn't worry about it!"
The King of Nanyue noticed something was amiss. Why did this man have such a face? Did he already have someone he liked? He asked, "The princess is beautiful, and not the spoiled and willful type. Why are you...?"
Meanwhile, King Dongli was listening intently to the gossip on the other side of the room. He shared the same thought as King Nanyue: this kid must be hiding a secret.
"Can we not talk about this?" Liu Morian was too embarrassed to speak, after all, this kind of thing was still too advanced for the people of this world.
Cannot x2
Both King Dongli and King Nanyue had their answers in mind at the same time; they simply couldn't suppress their desire to hear the gossip.
Under the intense gaze of the King of Nanyue, Liu Molian finally confessed to her secret affair with Yi Lanbin.
"What? You two are sharing a bed?" This was the King of Nanyue's exclamation.
"What? That blockhead Yi Lanbin actually likes someone?" This was the incredulous comment from Dongli Wang, who was just watching the drama unfold.
Yu Ling didn't understand human emotions very well. He always thought that the original owner's blank romantic history was because he was chaste, but in reality, the King of Dongli knew very well that it was because of the original owner that he was impotent.
Could Yi Lanbin be the one below?
No way!
King Dongli's worldview was shattered. How could his proud general have been taken down by some woman?! King Beishang had once told him in private that he wanted him to pair his general with his princess, and he had even confessed this to King Beishang.
In fact, after King Dongli revealed this secret, King Beishang began to secretly look at Yuling with a sympathetic gaze, but his constipated expression had already betrayed him.
Is this person sick?
"Your Majesty, why don't you just say what you have to say! I really can't stand your gaze anymore!" Yu Ling finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Um... I would never betray your closest person. Besides, it would be too hurtful to say something like 'you're impotent' to your face!" King Beishang suppressed a laugh, but couldn't help it and chuckled at the end.
Yu Ling: Thank you, you've already said everything yourself.
The person closest to me says I'm no good?
The person the Northern King was referring to was of course the Eastern King, but the slacker version of Yu Ling had long since abandoned her persona and, from her own perspective, quickly shifted the blame onto Liu Molian.
You, Liu Morian, you can't get a response from me when you express your love, so you start spreading rumors about me?
Yu Ling angrily asked the King of Bei Shang for leave and left the palace. She grabbed Liu Mo Lian and demanded that he confess whether he had said anything to the King.
Liu Molian: Did they find out what I said to the King of Nanyue? (Embarrassed)
When Yu Ling saw that the man was blushing and silent, she thought, "How can I tolerate this? Even if my uncle can tolerate it, my aunt can't!" She immediately pressed him down on the bed and started undressing him, showing no gentleness whatsoever and beating him roughly.
"Lanbin, what are you doing?" Liu Molian had never experienced anything like this before. Her face flushed and her heart pounded. She didn't know where to put her hands. When she opened her eyes, she was met with a barrage of kisses.
During the incident, Liu Molian cried terribly.
What happened afterward? There hasn't been anything afterward yet.
Because Yu Ling asked the Northern King for a full seven days off, Liu Molian cried on the bed for seven whole days because of a plant.
It was only because Yu Ling had warned Zhang Heyi beforehand to guard the gate and absolutely not allow anyone to disturb her while she was disciplining someone that this absurd scene was not discovered.
Zhang Heyi: ...I am an innocent baby, I don't know anything.
Yu Ling returned to the palace satisfied after her vacation to report back to the Northern King and clarify the false rumor. Only Liu Morian was left with tears streaming down his face, pondering the taste of this decadence.
