After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Under the leadership of Yingji, they set out from the jungle outside the imperial city of Jiyun Kingdom to an extremely hidden place, which was the entrance to the secret passage. Only the special token of the Dark Emperor Pavilion could open the entrance door.

After seeing clearly that Yingji brought only two beauties as tribute, his colleagues in the Dark Emperor Pavilion did not stop him and let them go.

I originally thought it was just a dug passage, but I didn't expect it to be a stone fortress-like path that led directly to the imperial city of Jiyun Kingdom.

The exit of the secret passage turned out to be a bed in a palace. The palace looked luxurious and wealthy, and there were signs that someone had lived there before.

After Yingji led the people out, he looked for the owner of the palace. Someone outside announced, "The queen is here."

[This is actually the queen's bedroom? Is the queen also from the Dark Emperor Pavilion? ]

When Yingji's signal sounded, the queen said to the people behind her, "You can leave. No one is allowed to disturb my rest."

"Yes."

After waiting for a while, the queen pushed open the door of her bedroom, and then made sure that no one noticed here before closing the door.

The queen walked into the bedroom and asked, "Master Yingji, is that you?"

Only then did Yingji walk out of the bed curtain, and Jiaolan and the other two also walked out together.

When the queen saw Jiaolan, she performed the magic ritual, "Yuanying greets the Lord."

Guerlain nodded with satisfaction, "Get up."

Queen Yuanying stood up and looked at the two people behind Guerlain, "My Lord, are you going to present a beauty to the King?"

[Could it be that the Queen of Jiyun Kingdom is also a demon cultivator? This is interesting.]

Seeing Yuanying's hostility, Jin Yan quickly said, "The queen has misunderstood. My master and I have important matters to discuss with the king, so we had to disguise ourselves."

The queen looked Jin Yan up and down, then looked at Jiaolan beside her. Jiaolan nodded and said, "The troops of Prince Yu's Mansion are approaching Luocheng in Chuan, and they are bound to threaten Minglong to send troops to find the Dragon Ball. I believe they also know that the two of them are the ones who give Minglong advice."

When Queen Yuanying heard Guerlan say this, she understood that what Jin Yan said was true. She knelt down and said, "Since you are here for this matter, I believe you two must have extraordinary abilities. My Lord, Yuanying has something to ask of you."

The people present were confused by Yuanying, so Yingji quickly helped her up and asked, "What does the queen mean?"

The queen choked up with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you don't know that since the four of you left Jiyun Country, Minglong has imprisoned Mingcheng and no longer hides his wolfish ambitions. Whenever he is not satisfied with something in the court, he will abuse Mingcheng. Even me...the people in our harem have been taken by Minglong."

"Is this really true?" Guerlain was puzzled.

Even Yingji, who was standing by, showed an incredible expression, "Minglong and Mingcheng are brothers, how could this happen?"

Yuanying wiped away the tears from her eyes. "One day, Minglong revealed his thoughts when he was drunk. That's when I learned that the relationship between Minglong and Mingcheng was not what it seemed. Minglong hated Mingcheng in his heart. Mingcheng was excellent since he was young, and he was slightly better in both literary and military strategies. Minglong had to build a good relationship with him in order to get benefits from the King."

"Now that the great king has passed away and Mingcheng is frail and sick, Minglong no longer conceals the truth and has detained Mingcheng in the royal city. He not only took Mingcheng's throne, but also his beloved woman. He even went so far as to break into the palace where Mingcheng was imprisoned, so that he could see with his own eyes that his woman was raped by Minglong..."

"Even in the court, Mingcheng would make all the decisions. After the decision was made, Minglong would not follow Mingcheng's decision, but would go against him and deliberately tell Mingcheng what kind of bad influence his method had caused. This made Mingcheng's already weak body even more unable to cope with the heavy responsibility."

Queen Yuanying kowtowed to the men and said, "Please rescue Mingcheng from Minglong and take her away from Jiyun Kingdom. Don't let him suffer any more."

After hearing Yuanying's words, several people looked at each other. Jin Yan was the first to ask a question, "The queen should have many talented people under her command, why didn't you rescue Mingcheng?"

Yuanying stood up, her eyes filled with hatred, "Minglong is a person who doesn't trust anyone. The ministers who defended Mingcheng died overnight. Those who are left in the court are in Minglong's hands. If I take action, it will definitely implicate the family. In this huge royal city, I don't have anyone to use. The sisters who knew about this have already been secretly dealt with by Minglong, and their bodies are gone. Yuanying is not afraid of death, but the lives of nearly a hundred people in my mother's family are in Minglong's hands. Yuanying dares not and cannot gamble. Please help Mingcheng."

[Minglong is such a ruthless character. It seems that if you want to negotiate business with him, you may not get any benefits.]

Jiaolan looked at Yingji, "Do you know about this?"

Ying Ji lowered his head and said, "My Lord, I know."

Jiaolan moved her hand, and Yingji was knocked flying. His body hit the pillar, and he spat out a mouthful of blood after landing. "Such a big thing happened in Jiyun Country, and you hid it from me!"

Yingji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and bowed to Jiaolan, "My Lord, please calm down. I only know that Minglong slaughtered the whole family of those who disobeyed him in order to gain a stable foothold in Jiyun Country. As for the matter of Mingcheng, I really don't know."

Guerlain squinted at Yingji, "Really?"

"I dare not lie to you. I know your relationship with Mingcheng. If I knew that Mingcheng was treated like this in Jiyun Country, I would definitely not hide it from you, my Lord."

Jiaolan swung her sleeves, snorted coldly, and stopped looking at Yingji. She turned to look at Yuanying and asked, "Where is Mingcheng now?"

The queen bowed and said, "My Lord, he is imprisoned in the small side hall behind the main hall."

Jiaolan put her hands behind her back and said, "Yingji, follow me to save people."

The queen immediately blocked Jiaolan's way and said, "My Lord, Minglong is a cautious person. The small side hall is secretive and only people in the palace know its location. It is broad daylight now, so please take a rest with me. When night falls, Yuanying will personally take my Lord and Yingji there."

Jiaolan looked at Yuanying coldly, "You'd better not play any tricks."

"Yuanying doesn't dare."

Several people took a rest in the queen's palace, waiting for night to fall. The queen wanted to stabilize Minglong temporarily and find out whether tonight was suitable to rescue Mingcheng.

Feng Hanyun sat cross-legged, regulating his breathing and resting. Yingji was playing chess with Jiaolan. Only Jin Yan was doing nothing.

[I remember that when the scumbag recaptured Jiyun Kingdom, Mingcheng should have been the king. Although Jiyun Kingdom was not strong enough, it had no problem protecting itself. Why did Mingcheng surrender at that time? ]

[Perhaps Minglong's misfortune was the culprit for Mingcheng's depletion of national strength. After the great war, they had already suffered a lot. How could they have the strength to resist the scumbag's troops? That's why they surrendered unconditionally and offered most of their resources as tribute. This was considered as not wasting a single soldier. Perhaps this was also the reason why Jiyun Kingdom did not perish in the end.]

[Even if Jiaolan doesn't make a move, Mingcheng still has a way to regain the throne, but that would take a few years. If Mingcheng is rescued and the throne is returned to him, would that solve the current predicament and also destroy part of the scumbag's ambition?]

[Compared to Minglong's ruthless character, Mingcheng seems to be easier to talk to. ]
