After gathering the seven deadly sins brothers, summon the younger sister!

"Have you finished your chat?"

There was a shadow covering the entrance to the cave. Under the moonlight, Jealousy bent over from the side, with a few strands of soft hair cascading down, revealing the man's gentle and elegant eyebrows.

There was a faint smile on his eyes, but his eyes were dead silent: "Your Highness, His Majesty is calling you over."

The two people were huddled together in the small cave. As soon as Pu Ran turned his head to look, he was brought out by his fourth senior brother.

Jealousy took her aside.

"Stand still."

"Oh."

Pu Ran blinked his eyes and his body stood in a straight line on its own accord.

How can you find me hiding this?

Your senses are so sharp. Are you born in the Year of the Rat?

Lazy: I just said he was a stinky rat.

Jealousy helped her tidy up the crooked hairpin in her hair, and smoothed out the slightly wrinkled collar with her fingertips. Her inky eyes were like the deep sea under the night sky, calm and bottomless.

"Don't learn from that lazy pest."

Jealousy smiled and said, "Don't rely on anyone else."

The good senior brother took out a round wooden box from his sleeve. When he opened it, the delicate floral fragrance was particularly pleasant.

"Arms up."

"Oh."

This ointment was just as effective as incense, and soon Pu Ran's clothes were filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Jealousy used her fingers to pick up the ointment and rubbed it on the girl's wrist. After applying it, the sandalwood on Xie Jinyan's body was completely removed.

Maybe everyone knows that tonight might be the last night they are together, so they stop pretending.

Jealousy didn't bow to the prince as she did before. Now the young master was standing under the moon, looking very elegant. She didn't feel that there was anything rude in her previous behavior of disliking her junior sister for being stained with dirt.

He urged warmly: "Your Highness, it's time for you to go over."

Xie Jinyan: “…”

I know that there is no one easy to deal with around this "sister".

He looked at Pu Ran seriously, without saying a word, and took firm steps forward.

A long and lonely road went straight ahead, and Xie Jinyan could no longer turn.

From now on, no matter what the scenery on the roadside is or what kind of storms and waves are caused, it will have nothing to do with him.

"What's so good about the Royal Family?"

The mosquito-like whisper dissipated in the wind, Jealousy withdrew his gaze, and his eyes were once again filled with a refreshing smile of the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers.

He opened his lips and explained, "About an hour ago, Greed left and returned to Qingxuan."

Puran expressed his understanding: "There will be chaos soon. It's better for him to leave. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he is affected."

"Before he left, he asked me to pass on a message to you."

"what?"

"After the matter at the palace is over, let's go to Secret Frontier. The situation over there with Gluttony may not be optimistic."

Greedy was awkward with Envy for a long time before he spoke:

[According to my recent observation, she seems to be a pretty good person]

[Then let her come to help]

[You must let her come to Mijiang, she must come]

After saying that, as if he was paying someone to do something for him, Greedy generously gave Envy a gold ingot.

Jealousy put the gold in Puran's palm and said gently: "Take the deposit and go. I will go with you then."

He also had something to do in Qingxuan, so it was just right for them to go together.

Pu Ran's original intention was to go to Mijiang, but he didn't expect to get a piece of gold from Tan Tan. It was really a pleasant surprise.

"Okay, I'll go."

As a matter of course, she pocketed the money, and after that, Jealous retreated calmly. He didn't want to get involved in what happened next.

"Then go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you any more."

Pu Ran turned around and walked away, his eyes sharp: "Okay."

She had to go find Qinghe, and she had to make sure she snatched the rune stone the moment Qinghe found it.

……

At the birthday banquet, people from both sides were drunk, with rosy cheeks and laughter. They didn't even know when the prince would return.

Xie Jinyan glanced at everyone calmly. The seat of Marquis Dingyuan was empty, and the high priest of Yinchen was also gone. Only Emperor Chizhao was still conscious in the room. He raised his wine glass towards him and drank happily.

King Xuan Yue, sitting high on the dragon throne, cast his gaze towards Xie Jinyan, awkwardly curling the corners of his lips, moving the stiff muscles of his cheeks, revealing a not-so-good-looking smile.

Xie Jinyan was stunned.

As far as he could remember, he hadn't seen his father smile for many years.

"I had a very happy birthday party today."

The frail king used all his strength to make his voice sound deep and powerful, so that the drunken crowd could barely cheer up, sober up a little, slowly quiet down and listen to the old monarch's words.

"Then, while you are all here, I want to announce something that is even more joyful."

The subtle atmosphere dissipated, and everyone felt like they were poured with a bucket of cold water, which made their eyes clearer.

Xie Jinyan looked calm and composed, but beads of sweat appeared on his palms.

The other princes' faces turned cold and the smiles on their lips disappeared in an instant.

"As witnesses of the four nations, I have decided to abdicate after the birthday banquet."

"Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will ascend the throne and lead Xuan Yue to glory again!"

"Bam—"

Countless wine glasses fell onto the table from the hands of all kinds of people, the wine spilled, and the cups rolled around, with many of them falling to the ground.

Some people were confused and couldn't understand why there was such a rush about this matter.

Some people suddenly felt murderous and looked at their cowardly, incompetent and biased father.

Furious slowly filled his glass with wine and raised his lips to Xie Jinyan: "Congratulations."

Then he drank it all in one gulp.

At first, Xie Jinyan felt that no one was on his side. Everything he had was won bit by bit through planning since he was a child. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that his father, who was looked down upon by everyone and recuperated in the deep palace without seeing anyone, actually loved them.

Because of love, I let Xie Wanning leave.

Because of love, he never severely punished his sons who had ulterior motives.

Because of love, she and Marquis Dingyuan will fairly choose the successor.

"Words of caution."

A kind smile appeared on the old face.

"You are capable and will be a good emperor in the future."

Xie Jinyan suddenly felt his eyes dry, so dry that they were about to be soaked with tears in the next second.

He is despicable, yet he is favored by so many people.

"Father."

The Fifth Prince, who seemed to be staggering from drinking, stood up. In fact, the cup was filled with tea all along. His calm mind was more angry than anyone else.

"Wouldn't it be better to talk about this after your birthday?"

"Do you have to see blood at your birthday party to be happy?"

He smashed the porcelain cup in his hand in anger, and it broke into pieces, just like the irreparable relationship between father and son.

Xie Jinyan made a prompt decision, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he shouted, "Protect the emperor!!!"

This shout woke all the officials up as if from a dream, and the dancers ran out screaming.

So many soldiers rushed in at the door that they surrounded everyone in the blink of an eye.
