"His Majesty!"

"The thief shall die!"

When the inner guards saw Emperor Ming fainting, they suddenly became murderous and rushed towards Gu Zhi.

Although Gu Zhi was good at martial arts, he was outnumbered. After he used a special box to collect the gold-eating Gu and the fragments of the Holy Spirit Talisman, he was quickly defeated.

Prince Jin held Xuan Yue in his arms and whispered in her ear in a distraught voice.

"You are willing to die for your son, how can I bear to see him get hurt..."

After saying this, he carefully put down Xuan Yue's body and roughly estimated the time in his mind.

It took about a cup of tea for the twenty injured inner guards and imperial guards to rush over after hearing the noise of the fight.

enough!

Mu Shang at the gate of Jin Dynasty gave a look, and Mu Shang understood instantly, drew his sword and rushed into the battle.

In less than half a cup of tea, all the inner guards were lying dead in the hall.

Gu Zhi suffered some minor injuries and looked at King Jin in confusion.

"Why are you helping me?"

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping Xuan Yue's son. Go quickly, the imperial guards will be here soon."

Gu Zhi had a complicated expression, but he no longer hesitated. He took off the clothes of an inner guard and put them on, then turned around and disappeared into the palace.

Prince Jin took off his outer robe and put it on Xuan Yue, then picked her up and walked out of the hall step by step, out of the inner courtyard of the imperial palace where she had been imprisoned for twenty years.

……

The next day, Emperor Ming regained consciousness and was extremely furious. He summoned Prince Jin to the palace for an audience.

But Prince Jin had already left the capital overnight with Xuan Yue's body and headed for Youzhou, where they first met.

Lin Yushu fiddled with the medicine in the bowl with some concern, blew it to the right temperature, and then fed it to Nan Rongjing's mouth.

Nan Rongjing was nearly killed by the sudden outbreak of poison yesterday. Now he could only lie in bed to recuperate. Looking at Lin Yushu's frowning brows, he comforted her softly.

"I have already sent the Imperial Guards to deal with the bodies of the inner guards in the Qianqing Palace yesterday. No one will find out. Everyone will just think that Gu Zhi killed them."

"The princess..."

"By tomorrow at the latest, the palace will surely hear the news of Concubine Yu's sudden death due to an acute illness. His Majesty will not let anyone know that Prince Jin took her body away. After all, it concerns the reputation of the royal family. He cannot and dare not punish my father."

Nan Rongjing felt a little sad when he said this. He thought he could be reunited with his mother, but in the end they were separated forever.

Lin Yushu squeezed his hand comfortingly.

"The gold-eating Gu has disappeared with Gu Zhi. I think he will be able to take it back to the East Witch Kingdom soon. As for the Gu poison in your Majesty's body..."

Nan Rongjing sneered, "He won't live much longer."

Lin Yushu was slightly startled. "Gu Zhi has left. There is no one to control the poison to take effect. With the ability of the Imperial Hospital, maybe nothing will go wrong."

"No, I'm not talking about poison."

Lin Yushu thought about it for a moment and nodded. She had forgotten...

"Your Highness, His Majesty has just issued an order to execute the Fifth Prince, Nan Huaishuo!"

Lin Yushu's brows relaxed and she smiled brightly. Finally, this day had come for her!

Yulin Guard Station, Cliff Prison.

Nan Huaishuo stared at the dilapidated roof of the cell with lifeless eyes, scribbling aimlessly on the ground with his hands.

It has been fourteen days. He has been locked up in the Cliff Prison for fourteen days!

Not right.

The Cliff Prison is heavily guarded, but if there really is a national mourning, the death knell would be heard in every corner of the capital, but now the death knell has not yet rung.

Emperor Ming has been poisoned for nine days, how could he not be dead yet!

Nan Huaishuo was almost biting his teeth. Damn Gu Zhi, he must have deceived him!

When he gets out, I will tear him into pieces to relieve my hatred!

Fortunately, even if Emperor Ming did not die, he was seriously ill in bed. As long as he was unable to attend court for a long time, the court would be in turmoil.

In addition to the personnel he arranged in various places in the capital, the capital must have been in chaos at this time, so he just had to wait patiently for the court officials who supported him to nominate him as the regent prince.

Nan Huaishuo kept comforting himself in his heart, be patient, the throne is right in front of you.

Squeak.

The gate of the cliff prison was pushed open, and the heavy sound of a wooden door opening and closing could be heard in the distance.

Nan Huaishuo didn't take it to heart. During the ten days in the Cliff Prison, he had become accustomed to the Yulin Guards constantly detaining new prisoners and dragging away death row prisoners who had been tortured to death. He was also accustomed to the prisoners' painful cries and the smell of blood that seemed to never dissipate.

After all, he is a prince, and the cell he is in is located in the deepest part of the Cliff Prison, which is the quietest and tidy place in the entire Cliff Prison.

Apart from the old servant who brought him food on weekdays, no one would go near his cell.

But today is different. There are light and shallow footsteps approaching slowly, neither fast nor slow, step by step.

Nan Huaishuo's heart was slightly moved. Could it be that his people outside finally succeeded? Could he go out now?

Thinking of this, Nan Huaishuo became excited. He immediately sat up straight, quickly tidied up his messy clothes and hair, and waited for the visitor with a calm face.

But the moment he looked at the cell door, his face was full of confusion.

Lin Yushu?!

"Is that you? What are you doing here?"

"Even if you don't know anything, I have known you for a long time after all. I was the one who caused your current situation, so no matter what, I have to come and see you off."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What end, what last journey?"

Nan Huaishuo had a bad feeling in his heart and he questioned Lin Yushu angrily.

"Don't worry, the eunuchs in the palace will be here soon. Your poisoning of His Majesty has been exposed. His Majesty is furious and has ordered your death. Behead her immediately!"

Lin Yushu's words were like a sharp arrow piercing through his chest. Nan Huaishuo felt a chill in his heart, his blood boiled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Lin Yushu looked at Nan Huaishuo with pleasure as he looked desperate and miserable, just like before her death in her previous life.

"You mean to say that you even killed the crown prince, but the Emperor Ming didn't pursue the matter. Now he just poisoned him, so why does he suddenly want to execute you?"

Nan Huaishuo was once again shocked by Lin Yushu's words and his scalp went numb.

"how do you know……"

He reacted instantly, and his shock immediately turned into rage.

"It was you. You tampered with the prince's medicine!"

Lin Yushu smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying.

"You dare to poison the emperor. No matter who you are, you deserve to be beheaded. Nan Huaishuo, you lose!"

"No, it won't happen. Without me, who else can father pass the throne to? That Nan Fuchen who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?!"

"No matter who you pass it on to, I won't pass it on to a man who killed his father and regicide."

Nan Huaishuo sat down on the ground dejectedly, his whole body wrapped in despair. After a long while, he raised his head stiffly and looked at Lin Yushu in confusion.

"Why do you want to be my enemy? Why do you want to hurt me like this?!"
