Ah Luo entered the room uncomfortably and pleaded, "Mother, I really know I was wrong. I will listen to my father and mother and marry Princess Nanhan. Please let me go!"

"Really?" Liu Yirou said softly, still with some doubt in her eyes.

"Mother, I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask Emperor Yue to grant me a marriage. Mother, please agree to my request!" A Luo knelt on the ground.

"You bastard, a man's knees are made of gold, yet you kneel down for that woman again and again, you..." Mi Zun scolded coldly with a powerful domineering aura.

"Your Majesty, A'Luo has already realized his mistake, so you should stop scolding him. But you have already made a blood oath with Shui'er..." Liu Yirou frowned. Shui'er must die before the oath can be broken!

"Mother, I am willing to break my oath. If there are natural disasters or man-made disasters in the future, I will bear them myself. I only ask you to spare Shui'er!" A Luo bowed his body.

Mi Zun still seemed to disagree. Liu Yirou secretly gave him a wink and told him that when A Luo married Nan Han, she would find a way to kill Shui'er. In this way, the retribution would not fall on A Luo's head.

Mi Zun said coldly, "A Luo, remember what you said tonight, otherwise..."

A Luo immediately looked up and said, "Father, please rest assured, Mother. I will remember what I said tonight for the rest of my life, and I will work hard to be a good emperor in the future!"

Liu Yirou nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Luo'er, this is the good Ah Luo of your mother. You should go back quickly and enter the palace tomorrow. When the imperial edict is issued, your father and mother will return to the country with you!"

Ah Luo nodded, stood up, bowed and said goodbye. He knew that his mother didn't believe him, so it was fine.

If you can't protect Shui'er, then leave as soon as possible. When he ascends the throne and controls the world, see who can stop him!

A thin cloud floated by, slightly obscuring the faint moonlight.

Leng Jiu felt that the prince's back suddenly became tall and sturdy, as if overnight, the prince had grown up and become a man of integrity, but some of his valuable qualities had been quietly lost!

Some things seemed to change overnight.

A rumor was quietly spreading among the subjects of Nanyue. They said that the late emperor wanted Prince Yongnan to succeed to the throne, but because the empress dowager did not like Prince Yongnan, she forged a will and supported the current emperor to ascend the throne.

The rumor was well-founded. It was said that the late emperor's edict was still hidden in the hands of the empress dowager. For a while, the people of Nanyue were talking about it. Although they did not dare to spread the rumor openly, subtle changes had taken place in everyone's heart.

Just when the rumor was about to spread into the palace, Dong Qing'er died in the Lanshui Clinic.

"Sir!" Fulu hurried into the hall, "Minister Dong wants to see you!"

Yue Nanchen frowned slightly. What was Dong Wenhua doing here? Was it because of Qing'er's matter?

"Just say I'm not here!" Yue Nanchen said coldly. Just as he was about to turn around and go to the study, he heard Fulu whisper, "Master, something seems to have happened. Minister Dong and Madam Dong are here, along with a dozen injured guards. It sounds to me like..."

Fulu hesitated and dared not speak.

"What did you hear?" Yue Nanchen turned around. He was majestic and handsome in black, and his black eyes were dark and deep, like a sharp blade, showing its edge.

"It seems so..." Fulu finally made up his mind.

They said Miss Dong is dead!"

Yue Nanchen stood there in a daze. Soon, he strode out of the hall with a cold face.

Outside the palace, Dong Wenhua shed tears silently. The sight of an old man sending off a young man made him look much older in an instant.

Madam Dong cried until she almost fainted several times. Her daughter, her only daughter! The guards behind her who were injured by Shui Yao also endured the pain and lowered their eyes.

Yue Nanchen stood on the white marble steps and saw this scene. His eyes darkened, and he was surrounded by domineering and hostile aura, looking superior.

As soon as he saw Yue Nanchen, Dong Wenhua seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He knelt on the ground and said sadly, "Your Highness, you must make a decision for Qing'er. Poor Qing'er has never had a good day. She finally broke free from the clutches of the devil Prince Changning, but died at the hands of Lan Shuiyao. Your Highness, you must make a decision for Qing'er!"

Yue Nanchen moved the corners of his lips slightly and finally uttered, "Is Qing'er really dead?"

At this moment, his heart was aching, but he did not feel as sad or irrational as he had imagined. He had always thought that Dong Qing'er would always be a special person in his heart.

From the moment she smiled and put the cloak on him, he secretly vowed to protect her well, but he didn't expect that after growing up and experiencing so much, the feelings in his heart had already quietly changed.

But she died...

Mrs. Dong fainted from crying again, and the maids hurriedly helped her into the palace.

In the hall, Dong Wenhua was shaking with grief, looking at the silent man sitting on the main seat.

A man with a livid complexion.

I thought Yue Nanchen would draw his sword and rush to Lanshui Clinic to kill that little bitch Lan Shuiyao, but I didn't expect him to just sit there coldly, with sinister eyes and a livid face, and did nothing.

At this moment, Dong Wenhua was a little scared. He always believed that Yue Nanchen was still thinking about Qing'er.

Even if Yue Nanchen already had three wives, as long as his Qing'er beckoned, the most honorable Yongnan King of Nanyue would follow his Qing'er without hesitation. So when Qing'er got into trouble, the first person he thought of was Yue Nanchen. He believed that Yue Nanchen would definitely raze the Blue Water Clinic to the ground, but now...

"Your Highness..." Dong Wenhua spoke in a hoarse voice, the wrinkles on her face tangled together with sadness, "Please avenge Qing'er. The biggest regret in Qing'er's life is that she was not able to marry Your Highness..."

Yue Nanchen looked at Dong Wenhua with indifferent eyes. This was not what he said when he wanted to marry Qing'er to Prince Changning.

He once mocked him for his thankless efforts, having made so many contributions but still not being able to win the favor of his father, the emperor, and his mother. He knew that Dong Wenhua valued Yue Chengning's power at the time, but now...

However, when a person dies, it is like a light going out, and everything is over. But he did not believe that Lan Shuiyao killed Dong Qing'er. Given Lan Shuiyao's greedy personality, it would be more in line with her personality to cure Qing'er and charge a high medical fee.

Who killed Qing'er? What was the purpose? Did someone see through his plan? No, in order to make it credible, he didn't even tell his third brother, so how could the news leak out?

What should he do now? Rush into the blue water

Will the clinic lock up Lan Shuiyao or look for the murderer? Yue Chengning's men are watching his every move in the dark, and he can't make a single mistake!

Dong Wenhua didn't know that Yue Nanchen had already had so many thoughts in the blink of an eye. He just felt that the man's indifferent eyes made him feel uneasy. He swallowed hard, and the hope in his heart gradually faded away.

Yue Nanchen suddenly stood up and walked out. He was tall and handsome, with an air of dominance, but lacking murderous intent.

Dong Wenhua was delighted, and quickly wiped away his tears and followed behind, his face full of gloom and hatred. His daughter was dead, and he would never let Lan Shuiyao have an easy life!

After walking a few steps, Yue Nanchen suddenly stopped. Dong Wenhua was walking so fast that she almost bumped into him.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Dong Wenhua asked anxiously, fearing that there might be any changes.

"You should go to the palace and ask the emperor for the decision on this matter!" Yue Nanchen said softly. He believed Lan Shuiyao, but he had to do this in order to lure the snake out of its hole.

Only by letting the third brother step forward in time can we avoid harming Lan Shuiyao and perform the play to perfection!

Suddenly, Yue Nanchen was stunned. Hearing the news of Dong Qing'er's death, he seemed to be worried about how not to hurt Lan Shuiyao. In the past, he never considered these things.

He had persisted for so long and had been misunderstood for so long. When he heard the news, he should have put the country first and rushed to the Blue Water Clinic to raze it to the ground. If sacrificing a few people could bring long-term peace and stability to Nanyue, it would be worth it.

"Your Highness..." Dong Wenhua didn't understand Yue Nanchen's words for a moment. His lips trembled slightly, and fear swept over him again.
