The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

When the sky brightened, the clouds in the sky turned pale, and then gradually revealed a brilliant red.

Ning Rongzhang leaned to one side, biting a dogtail grass root from the roadside, and felt cold. Dewdrops condensed on his armor, bringing a chill that penetrated his bones.

They lit a fire and cooked, then quickly packed up their luggage and prepared to set off.

The dense forest was dangerous, so Ning Rongzhang led a small team to explore the way. He lifted up the thick vine and waved his hand, saying, "Go over quickly." The ground was covered with dead leaves, and it was unclear whether the next step would lead to life or death.

"what--"

"Help!!"

Suddenly, several shrill screams were heard from the rear of the team. The young general stopped and hurried over to see what was going on.

The soldiers lay on the ground in agony, screaming as if their whole bodies were on fire. People gathered around them. The young general pushed through the crowd and saw fine red lines on the necks of the soldiers who were struggling in agony on the ground.

"Back off!"

"Go and find the prince! Go quickly!" He pushed the person next to him hard, and that person turned around and ran away.

When Ning Rongzhang arrived, the men were already lying quietly on the ground. Ji Yuanzheng stepped forward and frowned, saying, "They are the ones who fell into the swamp yesterday."

It’s really strange. Why would he die for no reason after falling into the swamp?

There was a man among the troops who was familiar with the art of medicine, and he examined the injuries of the men through the white cloth. "Neck, face," he said, pulling open the man's clothes in front of his chest, "Your Majesty, please look, the hideous red lines are spreading from the heart."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him opened their chests to check, and fortunately, there was nothing unusual.

"Do you know the cause of death?"

"Your Highness, there are no fatal cuts on these people's bodies. It looks like they were poisoned."

So, the swamp yesterday was not only capable of swallowing people, but also contained poison. Ning Rongzhang looked at the dense forest ahead that still had no way out and said, "Bury it on the spot and don't touch it."

Several people were killed before they even reached the battlefield. It seemed that Li Nan and his group were in real danger. Everyone was not careless and buried the few people according to Ning Rongzhang's words.

Every next step would be extremely dangerous. Ning Rongzhang looked at the map carefully and continued to lead everyone.

Li Huaize was puzzled and said, "I didn't expect that the dense forest of Linan is so powerful. If we can trick the newcomers here, then we can win a great victory without losing a single soldier."

Ji Yuanzheng continued, "This is indeed a good place to lose soldiers and generals." However, it was not the Xinrong people who were in the dense forest now, but themselves.

-

The sun was setting in the west and fell into Linan City.

The main courtyard of the palace was completely silent. The two guards guarding the door had murderous looks on their faces. If you looked closely, you would notice that their faces were different from those of the Dali Dynasty. The elderly butler paced alone outside the courtyard, occasionally peeking inside.

A young voice sounded in the room, "Why? Your Majesty is not sure?"

The old prince was wearing a gray-brown robe and was standing not far from the man. He looked worried. "No, no, they won't come out."

"Really? I just want to remind you that if you are disloyal to the Lord, the Lord will not be able to ensure the safety of your two sons."

Hearing the man talking about his sons, the old prince trembled. Those two sons were born in his old age and were extremely precious to him on normal days. Now that they were abducted by them, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

The young man didn't stay for too long, leaving a few words and leaving. Seeing him about to leave, the old prince hurriedly said, "Your lord must keep his promise and make sure my son is safe!"

The man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the master is the one who keeps his promises."

After the people disappeared, the old butler hurried in to check on his own prince. When he saw the old prince standing under the porch safe and sound, he finally let out the breath in his heart, "Prince, Prince, they..."

King Li Nan sighed and looked up at the sky. It was still the same good weather as yesterday, but he was not happy at all.

The enemy is approaching and our future is uncertain.

"Your Majesty, if not, we should ask the Regent for reinforcements."

"No!" King Li Nan said firmly, "If these Xinrong people find out, my two children will never come back!"

How cruel were the Xinrong people. Not only was their leader a ruthless and bloodthirsty man, but even his subordinates were merciless and would kill the old, the weak, women and children wherever they went, leaving no one alive.

Now that he was magnanimous and gave them a chance to live, it was already a great favor. King Li Nan seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Adu, quickly find someone to find out more. We must not let them get out alive!"

The old butler nodded his head. He naturally knew who the "they" King Li Nan was referring to.

They walked in the dense forest for a whole day. Fortunately, they did not deviate from the basic direction, and the army managed to come out of the dense forest before sunset.

It was as if they were reborn. Looking at the setting sun, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At last, they did not lose their lives in the dense forest, corroded by poisons, and eaten by giant beasts.

The city of Li Nan was ahead. Ning Rongzhang handed the secret letter to the secret guard and asked him to deliver it to King Li Nan personally.

The secret guard disappeared into the darkness in a few seconds. The Linan city gate in front was still dark and could not be seen clearly. The army hid in the dense forest and was not noticed by anyone.

The secret letter brought by the secret guard entered the palace together with the guards guarding the city gate. The surrounding chill gradually surged up, and the secret guard climbed over the wall into the palace, presented Ning Rongzhang's jade pendant, and met King Li Nan directly.

The old prince looked disgusted. He turned around and saw the jade pendant in the black-clad secret guard's hand. He was startled and asked, "You...you have come out already?"

This one sentence made the secret guard realize that something was wrong, and he said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? This is a secret letter that my master asked me to give to Your Majesty. Your Majesty should open the city gate as soon as possible and welcome the royal army into the city."

King Li Nan took the secret letter with trembling hands, and before he knew it, a group of guards had surrounded the study.

There were only a few short lines on the secret letter: Wang’s army has arrived, open the city gate quietly.

King Li Nan closed the letter heavily, and his cloudy eyes suddenly shot out a fierce light, "Kill him!"

A group of guards rushed in from outside the study, each holding a sword.

"Are you going to rebel?!" The secret guard fought with more than a dozen guards, but unfortunately two fists were no match for four hands. When three long swords pierced his chest, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
