Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

After leaving Mianhua Pavilion, Gu Ling casually handed the cloak to Baiji and went to look for Shen Nian'an.

When I was walking down the street, I saw a man selling candied haws. The red hawthorns were wrapped in sugar and gave off a sweet fragrance, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.

Knowing that Shen Nian'an liked to eat it, Gu Ling bought a string of candied haws and held it in his hand.

It was evening and the sun had just set over the mountain. Shen Nian'an was wandering along the shore wearing a white curtain.

He lowered his head, put the toe of one foot against the heel of the other, and walked back and forth in small steps to pass the time.

As he walked, he saw a pair of shoes. He looked up and saw Gu Ling.

He complained quietly, "You're so slow."

Gu Ling did not refute. She took out the candied haws hidden behind her and said, "Eat some candied haws to calm down."

Shen Nian'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but not wanting to show it too obviously, he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, slightly raised his head, and looked proud like a proud cat.

He ate a sour and sweet candied haws, and seeing Gu Ling looking at him, he handed the candied haws to Gu Ling's mouth. He was always happy to share food with Gu Ling.

Gu Ling didn't reach out her hand. She bent down slightly and took a bite of the fruit. She couldn't get used to the sour and sweet taste, so she said, "It's not delicious."

Hearing this, Shen Nian'an snorted softly but continued to eat happily.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, the two found a moored boat and boarded it.

The boat slowly sailed away from the shore, and the oars cut through the water, breaking up the fiery clouds that fell into the water.

In the distance, the setting sun was blocked by the distant mountains, leaving behind a beautiful glow.

Shen Nian'an pulled Gu Ling's sleeve: "Gu Ling, Gu Ling! We will come to see the sunset again in the future!"

Gu Ling didn't care about the sunset. She was always looking at Shen Nian'an. Hearing this, she said, "Okay, not only the sunset, but also the stars and the sunrise."

Shen Nian'an frowned, looking a little tangled, and then said, "Forget about the sunrise. It's hard to get up."

Gu Ling was amused by him. He felt a little embarrassed and said fiercely: "Don't laugh! This matter is very serious."

Gu Ling ignored him and continued to laugh. He immediately took a step forward, as if this would make him look more imposing: "Don't laugh!"

Gu Ling stopped smiling. There was no reason to let Shen Nian'an go since she had come to her on her own initiative. She just stretched out her hand and hugged Shen Nian'an's waist, then lifted the curtain that was in the way, revealing Shen Nian'an's face.

"Then let's do something a little less serious."

She held the back of Shen Nian'an's neck and kissed him in an irresistible manner.

At this moment, the wind rose, and the white curtain fell again. This time, the curtain covered two people.

……

Emperor Zhao of Yan's health suddenly deteriorated. People rumored that it was retribution from God for his act of killing his own daughter.

Emperor Zhao of Yan was cruel and brutal, and he was autocratic and dictatorial. This was his fault, and everyone pushed him down when he fell.

The ministers in the court made requests every day, pleading with Her Majesty the Queen to appoint the Crown Princess to act as the Queen in handling state affairs, as the country cannot be without a ruler for a day.

Emperor Zhao of Yan was already worried when he became seriously ill, and the ministers in the court were pressing her step by step. She was convinced that this illness was caused by one of her good daughters, and she was even more unwilling to appoint a princess as the crown princess.

The empress was seriously ill and naturally could not attend court, and the order in the court was in chaos. The princesses who had been law-abiding before began to fight for power again, and this time their methods were more cruel than before.

The queen might die tomorrow, and today’s winner will be tomorrow’s new emperor!

The princesses fought each other in a blood-thirsty manner, and suffered heavy casualties in just over ten days. When the Queen learned of this, she was so angry that she vomited blood and died.

When Emperor Zhao of Yan died, some of the princesses died and some were disabled. When the court officials were at a loss as to what to do, they remembered that there was still one person imprisoned in the prison.

how...

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Sixth Princess broke in with her private soldiers, trying to force the palace to rebel. The court officials were heartbroken and shouted, "Sixth Princess, you are confused!"

The Sixth Princess sneered: "It's not my fault that the Queen Mother doesn't care about the mother-daughter relationship. Where is the Queen Mother? Is she hiding because she's afraid?"

An old minister stepped forward tremblingly: "The late emperor just passed away a few days ago and has not yet been buried. You, you actually..."

Sixth Princess: ???

Before the Sixth Princess could figure out what was going on, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door, led by Gu Ling, who was wearing armor and holding a sword.

She glanced at him with a stern look, and said in a heavy tone, "The Sixth Princess forced the palace to rebel and disregarded the late emperor's coffin. Such a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial person, we are following the order of His Highness the Ninth Prince to take her down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ling's soldiers started fighting with the Sixth Princess's private soldiers with real swords and guns. However, the private soldiers who had never been baptized by the smoke of battlefield were like horses raised on feed, and their fighting power was vulnerable.

The winner was decided. The Sixth Princess was pinned to the ground. She saw Gu Ling slightly turn sideways and Yan Heng slowly walked in.

The seventeen-year-old princess looked young, but she had a strong aura and fierce eyes, like a majestic wolf king.

Everyone only remembered her following Yan Shiyi with her head lowered and her eyes submissive. When they saw her now, she seemed to be two completely different people from the past.

She said, "Sixth sister, you are so disappointing. How could you do such a treasonous thing?"

At this point, what else did the Sixth Princess not understand? She had put so much effort into this, but in the end, she was just helping others.

She suddenly struggled to break free from the restraints, rushed towards Yan Heng angrily, and then a long sword pierced her body.

She raised her head and saw Gu Ling's deep and calm eyes.

Gu Ling kicked her away, pulled out the sword, and blood splattered on her face, making her beautiful face even more seductive.

But no one dared to have other thoughts, because she had clearly killed someone, but there was no trace of murderous intent in her black eyes, only a chilling calmness.

It was as if the one who died was just an ant, which did not cause any ripples in her eyes.

Is this really Gu Ling? Is this really the playboy who hangs out in brothels all day?

No one dared to speak, so Gu Ling spoke up: "The thief tried to kill the princess, but was killed on the spot."

This seemed like a signal. A voice as loud as a bell suddenly rang out in the hall where one could hear a pin drop: "The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I beg Your Highness to take the throne!"

General Gu shouted slogans and knelt down towards Yan Heng. Behind him, there was a loud chorus of voices of agreement, and they also knelt down.

As for the people from other factions, seeing that the situation was hopeless, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only kneel down.

"I beg His Majesty the Ninth Prince to ascend to the throne!"

Through the crowd of people, Minister Shen saw the childish-looking Ninth Princess standing with her hands behind her back, accepting the court officials' kneeling homage without arrogance or impatience, already possessing the demeanor of a ruler.

At her side, Gu Ling knelt on one knee with his hands clasped together. The sword in his hand was still dripping with blood. She was like a sharp sword, revealing her might.

Minister Shen knelt down slowly, she prostrated herself on the ground, and shouted out the words with everyone else -

Long live the emperor.
