Yun Yiduo's coming-of-age ceremony ended with a sudden engagement. Upon learning that the future queen had been engaged, Fulin rode back to Dachong at full speed, killing two horses on the way.

When Ji Cheng arrived at the Chongming Palace, he was hosting a banquet to welcome Prince Jing. Prince Jing was a very generous middle-aged nobleman, calm and reserved, with a gentle smile on his face. He brought back many treasures from overseas for Ji Cheng, including gemstones of various colors, telescopes that could see far away, pocket watches, etc. In short, the whole court was shocked.

"I would like to thank Uncle Wang for traveling across the ocean to bring rare overseas products to Da Chong. I would like to offer a toast to Uncle Wang on behalf of the people of Da Chong."

After Ji Cheng looked at the overseas items, he raised his glass to King Jing and toasted him, but he had a new plan in mind. In the previous life, before King Jing returned, he lost Ning'er. The court advised him to marry a queen and concubines, but he was so annoyed that he didn't pay much attention to his uncle King Jing. Now it seems that this person is definitely not a simple person. And his high-profile return may have some ulterior motives.

Ji Cheng smiled and raised his eyebrows to look at King Jing, who also smiled and raised his glass to respond to Ji Cheng. In the eyes of the ministers in the court, the uncle and nephew had a harmonious relationship, and the monarch and his subjects were in harmony. However, only Ji Cheng knew in his heart that he had to be on guard against this uncle, King Jing.

The welcoming banquet ended with laughter and joy. After Prince Jing left, Ji Cheng returned to Chaoyang Palace, where Fulin was already waiting outside the palace in a hurry.

Ji Cheng didn't expect Fulin to come back so soon, and he was thinking about what reward to give to his capable subordinates.

"Fulin? You're back so soon. Did the queen receive my gift? Is she happy?"

As soon as Fulin saw Ji Cheng, he rushed to meet him, then he knelt on the ground with self-blame, lowered his head and said:

"My king, the queen has been kidnapped."

Ji Cheng saw Fulin kneeling down, bowing his head, and looking dejected, and his expression became serious. What did she mean by being robbed? Was she in danger?

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Fulin knelt down and told Ji Cheng what happened at the coming-of-age ceremony word by word, secretly observing Ji Cheng's changes. As Ji Cheng listened, his face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes became colder and colder.

"You said that she is engaged to Sword Saint Qingyi Zhang Qiong? Or was it arranged by her grandfather himself?"

"Yes, I have someone secretly investigate. The queen's grandfather was the old Duke of Protecting the Country, and the queen is still from Poison Valley, no, now it's called Youlan Konggu. She is also the granddaughter of the Poison King of Youlan Konggu. Also sending gifts at that time were the second owner of Yueyin Villa and the Undying Red Clothes."

Ji Cheng was silent. He knew that the queen's identity must be extraordinary. She was Miss Lin Shiyi, but she did not return to the Lin family in this life. But he did not expect that his queen was also related to Yueyin Villa.

"How did she and Zhang Qiong know each other?"

"Well, I heard that it was the queen who saved Zhang Qiong, so Zhang Qiong fell in love with the queen at first sight."

boom!

Ji Cheng slapped the table beside him, and with a crack, the table was broken. Fulin trembled and mourned for the table in his heart.

"I should go there myself."

Fulin was silent. If the king went there in person, he would probably fight with Zhang Qiong. By then, the girl's coming-of-age ceremony would be ruined.

"Fulin, what is her attitude?"

"Uh... the queen brought Mu Li with her, so I couldn't see her expression. But she didn't object."

Ji Cheng was silent. Regardless of whether his queen remembered his past life or not, he was not the one she liked. From their two meetings, he knew that the queen was deliberately avoiding him and didn't want to have anything to do with him. And Zhang Qiong, with his handsome features and a great reputation, had a Liuyun Sect behind him that even the imperial court was wary of.

"Fulin, tell the Killing God Temple to kill Sword Saint Qingyi with all their might."

"Cough cough cough."

Fulin was so shocked by Ji Cheng's words that he coughed several times and looked at his king in disbelief.

"Well, Zhang Qiong is a representative of the righteous faction. If the Temple of the Killer God hunts him down, they will be regarded as the public enemy of the martial arts world. Moreover, although Zhang Qiong is young, his martial arts skills are extremely high, otherwise he would not have the title of Sword Saint Qingyi. Hunting him down will cause great losses. It will also be difficult to explain to the Queen."

"No matter what kind of noble family or sect he belongs to, he must die because he stole my queen. Fulin, tell all the masters in the Temple of the God of Death that Sword Saint Qingyi must die!"

"This... please think twice, Your Majesty."

Fulin knelt on the ground, knowing that the king was probably mad, but he had to try his best to dissuade him, otherwise this decision would bring disaster to the Temple of the God of Death. Then, the king's efforts in the Central Plains over the years would be in vain.

Ji Cheng looked at Fulin lying on the ground, feeling upset. He, Ji Cheng, had never felt so aggrieved before. Someone had robbed his queen but he couldn't kill her.

"If you can't kill him, find him something to do. It would be best if he doesn't have time to see the queen."

"Yes, your Majesty is wise."

Ji Cheng waved his hand at Fulin, signaling him to go down first, while he sat down to review the memorials. However, as he was reviewing, the familiar figure of Yun Yiduo appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty must have worked hard reviewing memorials late at night. I ordered someone to prepare a midnight snack."

Ji Cheng looked up, and the stunningly pretty figure appeared before him. She didn't like to wear the queen's complicated clothes, and only wore plain and elegant clothes, especially she had a lot of white gauze skirts, which made her look like an otherworldly fairy.

"queen!"

Ji Cheng suddenly realized that the dignified Yun Yiduo had disappeared. When the incense and candles in the hall flickered and made a crackling sound, he realized that there was no queen in front of him at all, only the silent and dark night and the candlelight illuminating his hall.

Ji Cheng slapped the memorial down, still feeling angry. He wanted to abandon all the affairs of the court and go to the Central Plains to hunt down Zhang Qiong, but he also knew that he couldn't leave at this time.

"Yun Yiduo, my queen, you really know how to torture me! However, as long as you are not married, I will not give up. No, even if you are married, I will take you back."

"But it would be easier to kill Zhang Qiong."

Ji Cheng's murderous intent grew stronger and stronger. He slapped the dragon table and shouted towards the dark night.

"Ye, come out."

"king!"

Ye was dressed in the color of the dark night, with no expression on his face, and he knelt silently in front of Ji Cheng's dragon table.

"Ye, go kill Zhang Qiong."

After Ji Cheng finished speaking, Ye did not move, just kneeling there without any sense of existence. Ji Cheng was not angry either, just waiting for him to execute his orders.

"King, now that Ye is gone, there is no one around you anymore."

"If you don't go, I will go myself."

"Yes."

Ye didn't say much, turned around and left, just like a breeze blowing in the hall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ji Cheng beat the dragon table rhythmically, trying to calm his heart, but he couldn't calm himself down.

So Ji Cheng stood up and walked slowly out of the palace. The palace servants followed him, but he waved them away. Unknowingly, he arrived at Jinxiu Palace.
