The next day, the queen wore plain clothes and left Fengluan Palace step by step with the support of Xiao Xuanmo.

When she walked out of the palace gate, she stopped slowly, then turned to look at the towering palace.

Her eyes were as calm as water, without any trace of reluctance or attachment.

She breathed a sigh of relief, got into the carriage with a look of great hope, and left the palace that had trapped her for twenty years.

She didn't stay in Prince Mo's Mansion for long. After taking a short rest, she left Kyoto and went to the temple where the Queen Mother was. In the following days, she and the Queen Mother stayed together with the Ancient Buddha of Green Lanterns and never stepped out of the temple again.

The court of Nan Chu gradually became stable.

This bloody battle finally came to an end.

Xiao Tingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to clean up the imperial court, he had not seen Yun Luan for several days. He missed him a little. Just when he was thinking about leaving the court and looking for Yun Luan, the ministers in the court began to make suggestions and proposed to establish a new king. .

A country cannot be left without an owner for a day. Many people admired Xiao Tingyan and asked him to ascend the throne as emperor.

After all, the late emperor's most preferred candidate for crown prince was King Yan.

If Xiao Chongshan had not used despicable means, King Yan would have been the emperor of the Southern Prefecture long ago.

Everyone in the court was almost unanimous, urging Xiao Tingyan to ascend the throne. Only in this way could the court be stabilized very quickly.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who support King Mo... and King Duan who has been in a coma.

It was at this moment that King Duan woke up and turned around.

Yun Luan dealt a heavy blow to him that day. He was deeply injured and his throat was sealed with a sword. If it had been an inch deeper, he would have died.

In the past few days, his body had developed a high fever, he had been feeling groggy, and was on the verge of death.

If Chu Ying hadn't arrived in time and brought famous doctors to treat him with all his strength, King Duan might not have been able to survive this test and would have died long ago.

Precisely because King Duan was seriously injured, he knew nothing about everything that happened in Kyoto City in the past few days.

Duanwang's faction lost its backbone and was completely broken up by Xiao Tingyan without any resistance.

On the fifth day, King Duan's condition finally slowly improved.

When he opened his eyes and woke up, Chu Ying informed King Duan of the current situation in Kyoto City.

Only then did King Duan learn that Nan Chu's reign had completely changed.

He was stunned for a while.

He looked at Chu Ying in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice: "Father is dead?"

Chu Ying sighed and nodded slowly.

"And it was Xiao Xuanrui who poisoned him. After Xiao Xuanrui was taken to the prison, he was rescued and his whereabouts are unknown now."

"Originally, King Yan could not cover the sky with one hand and take charge of the Southern Reserve Court, but who would have thought that before his death, the emperor actually issued an imperial edict to accuse him of murdering the late emperor and plotting to usurp the throne. The world is over."

"This sinful edict aroused the anger of the subjects of the Southern Prefecture, and they no longer recognized the emperor. Now that the emperor died, Xiao Tingyan used this to quickly control the entire Southern Prefecture. The most ridiculous thing is that Prince Ming and King Mo, look back at Xiao Ting's banquet with his horse's head."

"They are the emperor's sons. Xiao Tingyan killed the emperor, but they were their enemies, but in order to survive, they actually recognized the thief as their father."

King Duan was stunned for a while, his head was rumbling, and he couldn't calm down for a while.

"how so?"

He just had a nap, but so many things happened.

Each of these is an earth-shattering event.

The worst thing now is that his father is dead. Without his father to rely on, it is like having his wings cut off. Xiao Tingyan has eliminated many of his followers in just a few days, and now his faction has suffered heavy losses. .

He is now a prince in name only.

It no longer has any real power.

King Duan was somewhat unable to accept such a result.

He angrily threw down the porcelain bowl of soup and medicine placed next to him.

At that time, Yin Ling walked in carrying rice porridge.

The porcelain bowl smashed to the ground, the fragments flying everywhere, and one fragment accidentally hit her face.

But she didn't seem to feel anything.

After just wiping it with a handkerchief, she walked into the house calmly, glanced at Chu Ying lightly, and approached Prince Duan with a smile on her lips.

"It's great that the prince can wake up safely."

"You have been sleeping for several days and haven't eaten anything. Your body must not be able to bear it. You drink this bowl of rice porridge first to cushion your stomach. When you feel better, I will ask the cook to prepare some meals for you. "

As she spoke, she scooped out a spoonful of rice porridge and handed it to Prince Duan's lips.

King Duan's thoughts were interrupted. He recovered and looked up at Yin Ling.

When I saw the extremely long scar on her face.

He couldn't help but frown slightly: "Your face is bleeding, let the doctor bandage it. And the scar on your face, let the doctor also give you some medicine to remove the scar. A woman's appearance is always important. "

Yin Ling didn't take it seriously at all, she pursed her lips and laughed.

"It's okay, I don't care."

Prince Duan's face turned cold, and he replied bluntly: "But I care. Yin Ling, you should understand why I rescued you and brought you back to the palace."

"If your face cannot be restored, I think there is no need for you to stay with me. I still have something to discuss with Young Master Chu, so please step back. In the future, you will not be allowed to leave without my permission. Take a step here."

Yin Ling's eyes were a little red. She didn't expect that King Duan would be so cold to her when he woke up?

He no longer had any concealment about her appearance, and was so frank that she felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't you see all the sacrifices I have made for you these days? King Duan, these days when you were injured, I was always there to take care of you without leaving my clothes. Don't you have the slightest bit of care? Are you moved at all?" Yin Ling's heart felt so sour that her words were choked with sobs.

King Duan looked at Yin Ling expressionlessly.

He replied word by word without mercy: "Moved? I am asleep and have no sense of what happened. How do you want me to move?"

"How you treat me is all your business. What does it have to do with me? If you don't want to stay with me anymore, you can leave now. I will let someone give you a sum of money to live in peace. For the rest of my life, Yin Ling, this is all I can do. Please forgive me for not being able to give you more."

If it weren't for the fact that she cared for him wholeheartedly, he wouldn't have spoken to her so politely, and would have sent her out long ago.

He was currently upset because of the upsetting incident in the court. He was really not in the mood to have any trouble with her.

Yin Ling felt like his heart was cut by a knife in response to his indifference.

She should have expected that it would end like this.

It turns out that from beginning to end, he didn't care about her at all. He always regarded her as Yun Luan's substitute...

Now that her face was ruined, he completely disliked her and would never talk to her again.

Yin Ling curled her lips and smiled to herself.

She didn't continue to ask for humiliation, why bother? No matter how mean she was, she could still understand the disgust and indifference in his eyes.

Yin Ling stood up in despair, turned around slowly, and walked out in a daze.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.

She clenched her fists and suddenly turned her head to look at Prince Duan. She kindly advised: "Prince Duan, there is something I know. If I say it, you will definitely be very angry. But, even if you are angry again and want to kill me, , I also want to say... Today's Nanchu court has completely changed its appearance, and all the power has been taken in by King Yan. Now the subjects want to have King Yan succeed to the throne and dominate the entire Nanchu."

King Duan's temples were beating wildly.

He looked at Yin Ling coldly: "Shut up..."

Yin Ling's eyes were red. Although she was a little scared, she still clenched her fists tightly, straightened her back, and with the determination to risk everything without hesitation, she faced King Duan bravely and continued speaking boldly.

"My lord, I hope you will not overestimate your capabilities, try to go against King Yan, and do stupid things like throwing eggs at rocks. You should learn from King Mo and King Ming. If you can submit to King Yan, maybe you can end up with a good death. .”

"The emperor's title is not justified. To be honest, you, my lord, have no qualifications to inherit the throne. Therefore, it is better to be aware of current affairs, broaden your horizons, and let go of some obsessions..."

"Shut up, I told you to shut the hell up, can't you hear it? Yin Ling, if you want to die, just say so and I will help you." Prince Duan couldn't help but roar in a low voice. , he stared at Yin Ling, wishing to cut her into pieces immediately.

This woman is very bold.

His heart was in such chaos right now, but she decided to stab him in the heart.

Yin Ling's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, she was terribly frightened.

She naturally knew that King Duan wanted to tear her apart now.

However, even if she is afraid, she still has to say something clearly.

She knows better than anyone that after this time, she may never have any chance to see Prince Duan again.

She was really attracted to him and really fell in love with him.

He was the first man she fell in love with.

She didn't want him to end up with his head missing and a tragic death.

Yin Ling endured the fear in her heart, her voice was choked with sobs, and by this moment, she was already sobbing.

"I...I really want you to be well."

"Prince Duan, the current situation is like this, and you can't change anything. Why do you have to put yourself in a situation of no return? The throne does not belong to you in the first place, why do you continue to be persistent and cling on to it?"

"Also... this Chu Ying, he is not really assisting you. Don't trust him too much. He has been with Xiao Xuanrui before. Once something happened to Xiao Xuanrui and he came to your side, he obviously had ulterior motives..."

"Go away..." King Duan was already in a rage. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he shouted angrily at Yin Ling: "Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at my affairs? You are just my comforter. You are just a stand-in for me, what qualifications do you have to say this to me? You simply don’t know what to say..."
