Chapter 207: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 51
Long Lin watched Ji Yunhuan drink the poisoned wine, watched her struggle, vomit blood, and gradually die, and he could do nothing!
It was all his fault. He shouldn't have chosen Long Haochang as the crown prince. It was he who harmed Ji Yunhuan and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
He hated his own weakness and powerlessness, and could only watch her being bullied forever. He could not save Ji Yunhuan, and even had to rely on Ji Yunhuan to protect him.
Before he died, Ji Yunhuan was still urging him to leave quickly.
Long Lin's heart was broken, and every breath was painful. He wanted to stay, even if it was just to look at her one more moment, but he knew he had to leave.
He climbed over the wall of the Prime Minister's Residence and jumped on the roof of the tall courtyard. Tears kept falling and his eyes were blurred.
He has never cried since he was old enough to understand. He thought that nothing in this world could move him anymore, and he thought that he would never cry again.
I don't know when he turned back into human form.
It was too late! Everything was too late! He was too late to save Ji Yunhuan!
He wished he could turn back and rescue Ji Yunhuan immediately, even if it meant dying with her, as he already owed Ji Yunhuan a life.
But he didn't dare, for he was afraid that Ji Yunhuan would be angry.
What Ji Yunhuan wishes for is that everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion can be safe. He cannot be reckless. He wants to avenge Ji Yunhuan and fulfill her last wish.
Long Lin picked up a tile and cut his arm hard with it. The intense pain brought him back to his senses, and he wanted to go to Yuelaiju to find Ji Yunan.
He didn't know whose house it was. There were clothes drying in the yard. He jumped down and stole one. After putting it on casually to cover his body, he went to Yuelaiju relying on his memory.
————
Yuelai Residence, in the secret room.
Mei Lingshuang pushed open the secret door and came in, her face solemn as she said, "I just sneaked into the palace. The emperor's body is in the main hall. The prince has taken over the palace. Everything is in order, and he is preparing to ascend the throne."
There were about ten people in the secret room, both men and women, about the same age as Mei Lingshuang. Everyone of them had a sword, with an upright posture and a steady aura. They were all the best of this generation in Meiling Villa.
They had originally gone out with the young master to gain experience. When they passed through the capital, the young master wanted to visit an old friend, so they came together. However, they ran into a palace coup and the whole city was under martial law, so they hid in Yuelaiju.
The blue-clothed knight who had given Ji Yunhuan a gift last time was also there, and said worriedly, "Long Haochang is going to be the emperor. Will he attack Meiling Villa? Even though we are a martial arts sect, we are no match for the emperor's army."
Ji Yun'an walked back and forth in the room, fiddling with the Yang Yao sword again and again. Only in this way could he force himself to calm down.
"Long Haochang is a sinister and narrow-minded person. Once he gains power, he will definitely not let go of anyone who disobeys him. He arrested many ministers this morning. Those with strong personalities are probably dead, while those with soft personalities were taken to the palace. If he wants to ascend the throne, he must have the recognition of the ministers."
"Let's not talk about whether the emperor has really passed away. Even if the emperor has passed away, he must first be buried and mourned. Only then can the three ministers write letters to plead, and after three requests and three rejections, he can finally ascend the throne. Only then can it be legitimate. Long Haochang is plotting treason, and everyone has the right to kill him!"
"You are all righteous men. Would you like to join me in serving the king and kill this villain? Then Meiling Villa will be at peace."
Everyone present was full of vigor and vitality, and they were somewhat moved when they heard this.
A real man born between heaven and earth naturally wants to accomplish something great, to make his life worthwhile.
With a crisp ding sound, the scabbards of the two black iron swords collided with each other. As both were black iron swords, the Star-Moon Sword and the Yang Yao Sword were almost identical, with only slightly different patterns.
"Stop inciting my people!" Mei Lingshuang said coldly, "You people in the capital are all cunning. Meiling Villa is a martial arts sect and does not get involved in the internal strife of the royal family. How you fight and kill is your business. I will not let them take risks."
"It's not easy to break into the Imperial Palace. We can get information, but we can't kill Long Haochang with just a few of us. But I can help you save the Ji family. Ji Yunhuan gave me many gifts, so I'll take this as a thank you gift."
Mei Lingshuang was wearing the velvet flower on her head that Ji Yun had given her. She didn't like gold, silver, jade, or other precious stones, but this velvet flower was light and lifelike, so she liked it very much.
The belt was also a gift from Ji Yun, and she also carried with her an insect repellent sachet and a flint in the shape of a kitten.
The close-fitting soft armor she wore was also given by Ji Yun. She had never worn such a fitted and soft soft armor before. Only a woman with a thoughtful mind could consider it so thoroughly for her.
She had come to the capital this time with the intention of thanking Miss Ji in person, but she had come across this disaster. In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, only Ji Yun'an escaped.
Ji Yun'an achieved his goal. He bowed to everyone and said solemnly, "Thank you all for your generosity. I would like to trouble you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rescue people. My mother and sister are inside. There are also hundreds of lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I entrust them all to you."
Everyone at Meiling Villa bowed in return, saying in unison, "It's all a small matter. They are just the lackeys of the Crown Prince's Mansion. It's easy to solve."
"Rescue the people first, and then find a chance to send them out of the city. We can sneak in from the backyard..."
Everyone was discussing heatedly. Ji Yun'an walked out in silence, but was stopped by Mei Lingshuang. "I'll go with you. The Heavenly Prison is not that easy to rob."
Ji Yun'an shook his head. "This matter has nothing to do with you. I can't drag you to die with me."
"In fact, I could have brought Huan'er out with me, but she refused to go with me. She said that if she left, the prince would not give up. She also said that the emperor would definitely show up and asked me to wait here. She was so sure that I actually believed her!"
Ji Yun'an covered his face, slowly squatted down, and said in a muffled voice, "How could I be so stupid? I was deceived by her again. She refused to go with me because she was afraid of dragging me down. She wanted me to escape."
"The emperor is dead and will not come. I can't wait any longer. I have to rescue them all."
Mei Lingshuang didn't know how to comfort him. She reached out and patted Long Hao's shoulder, saying stiffly, "It's really stupid. Don't be sad. I'll go with you to save them."
Ji Yun'an became even sadder. He also felt a little ashamed and was so embarrassed that he even squatted on the ground.
Mei Lingshan was at a loss for words. She would rather break into the palace and rob the prison than comfort a wounded man here.
"Well... calm down first. I'll go out and take a look. We are all in the secret room. It won't work if there's no one guarding outside."
Meilingshan made up an excuse and slipped away. Outside the secret room was an ordinary guest room, and outside the guest room was the backyard of Yuelaiju.
Yuelaiju is the property of Meiling Villa. The martial arts sects always have their own information channels. Although Meiling Villa does not get involved in the struggles in the court, it cannot turn a blind eye.
Only by being well-informed can we avoid being exploited by those with ulterior motives and preserve the peace of Meiling Villa for hundreds of years.
As soon as Mei Lingshuang walked out of the room, she sensed a strange breath. When she looked up, she saw a man jumping on the beam. Judging from his figure, he was a master.
Mei Lingshuang deliberately concealed her breath, and the man jumped into the yard defenselessly. She immediately drew out the Star-Moon Sword and rushed forward to meet him, catching him off guard, and placed the Star-Moon Sword on the man's neck.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!"
