e be magnanimous, Your Highness. Fei Yu, quickly apologize to Your Highness Dong Yue!""No need, Xi Ming is so arrogant and disrespectful. This palace can't bear it!" The icy voice was like being wrapp..."Brother, we all know what kind of person Jun Liye is. Could there be something deceitful about this" After quickly reading the contents of the letter, Xuan Yuan Mo's heart couldn't help but churn with waves of shock.

Jun Liye was a peerless overlord of his time. They had deeply experienced his cunning and ruthlessness. He could easily overturn the entire world with a flick of his hand, so how could he have been so easily poisoned by Shangguan Jianren

This just sounds unbelievable! I can't believe it.

"It shouldn't be." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen stood up from the dragon chair and walked to the window, his bony fingers tapping rhythmically on the windowsill, his deep amber eyes shimmering with cold light, carrying an unyielding confidence. "The Emperor of Bei Ling has always been at odds with Jun Li Ye, wishing he could get rid of him as soon as possible. There's no reason for him to lie to us."

Regardless of whether Jun Liye actually died, Su Qingying would never let go easily! He, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen, had set his sights on this woman. No matter what, he would never give her up to someone else!

Xuan Yuan Mo shook his gold-inlaid fan thoughtfully and nodded, after a long silence he finally spoke: "How does Your Imperial Brother view the matter of sending troops to conquer Dong Yue"

"The former Emperor of the East Mountain passed away, leaving the East Mountain's energy severely depleted. Now that a new emperor has ascended the throne, the East Mountain is experiencing a resurgence of prosperity. If we allow it to continue growing unchecked, it will undoubtedly become a formidable opponent in the future." Five fingers suddenly exerted force, imprinting several deep fingerprints on the windowsill. Xuanyuan Locheng did not turn around. A dangerous and sharp gleam flashed across his frigid pupils at lightning speed.

Su Ziyi is not someone to be taken lightly; this person absolutely cannot be left behind!

"So, Your Majesty means to agree to join forces with the Emperor of Beiling and together march on Dongyue" Xuan Yuan Mo heard the coldness in his words, and for a moment was stunned, his face full of surprise and uncertainty.

This military campaign will likely lead to further unrest and instability in the world.

Even if he didn't speak, I wouldn't let go of this excellent opportunity. Su Ziyi is capable, but he must be crushed before his wings are full! Xuan Yuan Locen suddenly turned around, his low and cold voice was filled with unquestionable domineeringness. The killing intent on his handsome face was undisguised, making people shudder.

Knowing that he would never easily change his mind once he made a decision, Xuan Yuan Mo sighed softly. Then, he had to steel himself and said in a resolute voice: "Your Majesty, my younger brother understands. My younger brother knows what to do."

Remember this, you mustn't let Xiao Qi know about this. Otherwise, given his temper, who knows what unnecessary trouble he might cause! He knows Xiao Qi has always had lingering feelings for Su Qingying, and even to this day, he still worries about her deeply. If he knew that I was about to lead troops to attack Dong Yue, he would probably be the first one to stop me!

"Rest assured, Your Highness, I will never let Xiaoqi know anything he shouldn't." Xuan Yuan Mo nodded in agreement, but a wry smile played on his lips inwardly.

War is about to break out. Such a huge upheaval, how could it possibly be hidden from him Unless he plugs his ears and covers his eyes, otherwise... Ah, my elder brother really does give him a hard time.

Well, he's doing his best, I guess. Let's see how long he can keep it up.

"You do things, I rest assured." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen didn't miss the wry smile that flashed in his eyes, his cold eyes couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, he walked over and patted his shoulder encouragingly.

"Brother Emperor, this younger brother will take his leave first." XUANYUAN MO was practically wailing in despair!

After several more days, at the Bei Ling Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Western Ming Emperor has agreed to send troops. He is currently leading an army of 800,000 towards Jiankang City in Eastern Yue." Upon receiving news from the Western Ming, Bei Ling Kingdom's valiant General rushed into the palace to report to the emperor.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jianren beamed with delight. He quickly stepped down from the dragon throne and helped the general to his feet, an unmistakable look of ecstasy on his face. "Excellent! Immediately select eighty thousand elite soldiers and set out for Jiankang City to join forces with the Western Ming army. I intend to seize Jiankang, Baiyu, Lin'an, Lingtian, and Hongye—the five Eastern Yue fortresses—in one fell swoop!"

……

"Ari, how many days have we been stuck down here I'm starting to grow mushrooms." Su Qingying was bored out of her mind, sprawled on the table in the underground chamber of Bei Ling Palace. She hadn't showered or seen the sun in days, and she felt utterly miserable.

At a glance at the fruit on the table, she couldn't help but feel nauseous.

She's been eating fruit every day for the past few days and she's about to be sick of it!

And for some reason, lately her brow has been twitching. It twitches so much that she feels uneasy and inexplicably agitated.

"I don't know, it must have been ten days or so." Sitting on the bed, Jun Liye had just finished practicing and adjusting his Qi. He opened his mouth slightly and let out a sigh of turbid air, with worry etched between his brows.

"Oh, I really want to go out and get some sun. If this keeps up, I'm going to become moldy." Laying listlessly on the table with no energy, Su Qingying tilted her head weakly. As usual, she inquired about his condition every day, "By the way, Alri, how are your toxins doing these days"

A smile graced Jun Liye's lips, and the depths of his eyes, usually as profound as the sea, softened instantly, overflowing with tenderness.

Getting out of bed, she rubbed her fluffy head gently and Jun Liye soothed in a warm voice: "You're much better now. Don't worry, you won't die for now. With you applying pressure points to me every day, the poison has stopped raging."

Thankfully, she always carried silver needles with her, or his life would have been forfeit. Without her by his side, he probably wouldn't have survived the onset of the poison.

“But this isn’t a long-term solution, you know! My silver needles can only temporarily suppress the poison, but it will still seep into your five organs and six fu every day. Once your five organs and six fu lose their function, even I won't be able to save you! How could I possibly rest easy I’m so worried, I’m going bald!” Su Qingying anxiously tugged at her ink-colored hair. The longer time dragged on, the more she worried about the poison in his body.

She was terrified, what if one day she woke up and he was gone, only his cold corpse by her side…

"Silly girl, what are you rushing for If we really can't make it through this time, it would be wonderful to be buried together. It's just a pity that I couldn't give you a grand wedding and let you officially become my wife."He stopped her from tugging at his hair, Jun Liye hooked his lips and looked down at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. He gently pulled her up from the stool and held her in his arms.

"Bah bah bah, can you guys say something auspicious Who's going to be buried here You two are together, what about me I wonder how Rong Fei is doing" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly burst into a mournful wail, spitting several times and could only huddle alone in a corner, looking utterly pathetic.

At this moment, he yearned for his wife at home so much.

At Shangguan Jinghong's words, Jun Liye only then remembered that there was still someone in the corner. Glancing at the wistfulness that flashed across his handsome features, he slightly curled his thin lips and said in a light and breezy tone: "If something happens, someone will naturally take her to the secret room. His people won't be able to find her, so rest assured, as long as she doesn't come out, no one can hurt her."

"That's good, Heixin Ye. This time, thanks to you, you're quite righteous." What he worried about most was Xuanyuan Rongfei's safety. Now that he said this, the stone in his heart finally fell.s useless for food or fighting, and it just takes up space. If you want it so badly, I'll sell it to you. We've known each other for a while, so I'll give you a 20% discount."Jun Li Ye twitched the co...
