Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

"Oh, you treated the princess of the Western Regions in this way. You are really bold. Even if I am not the queen of the Central Plains, I am the saint personally appointed by the Western Regions. How dare you attack me? You are so bold and rebellious."

Having said that, she changed the subject and continued:

"Now that you mention it, I remember that it was because you tortured the Western Region Princess, my biological mother, to death that the Western Region sent troops to attack the Central Plains for no reason. Oh, now that I think about it, it seems to be true. So, the crimes committed by General Yun are too numerous to list. I just don't know how General Yun used my mother's dowry and money to get himself promoted from a fifth-rank deputy general to a first-rank general, and how he killed my mother after fooling around with his concubine."

General Yun no longer cared that he was in the court. He ran a few steps forward, drew out the sword of the guard who was protecting His Majesty, and rushed straight towards Yun Tinghe. Tinghe had already guessed his temper and his next move, so he took the tip of his sword without dodging, and then defended himself as if he was protecting his two children. Tinghe accidentally snatched the sword and killed General Yun with one blow.

It was not until General Yun fell to the ground and died that Ting He acted as if he had just reacted. He dropped his sword at a loss and looked at his hands in disbelief. The two children also cooperated with him and cried to comfort him.

But Ting He was thinking in her heart that since she had killed the old thief with her own hands, the original owner and her mother would surely rest in peace. As long as the old thief was dead, the concubine and Yun Qingyao who had bullied the original owner would surely not have a good end.

Yu Linyuan was looking over here with a frown on his face. He was angry when he saw General Yun being beheaded by Yun Tinghe in the court, but seeing the court in such a mess, in order to show his authority, he had to speak with dignity:

"Yun Tinghe, you are so bold. General Yun has fought for the Central Plains his entire life. Not only did you slander him and provoke him to take the initiative, you also directly put him to death in the court. This is simply unreasonable. Yun Tinghe, are you still worthy of being the queen of the Central Plains? You are simply trampling on my face. Are you still worthy of being this queen?"

Ting He listened to Yu Linyuan's scolding and felt irritated for no reason. She closed her eyes tightly, raised her eyes and said:

"Oh~ I heard that your majesty is dissatisfied with me as the queen? Since I am not worthy of being the queen, your majesty should take me back. Why bother to force me here? Besides, the General Yun that your majesty praised once tortured me for several years. Not only did he allow his concubines to humiliate and kill my mother, he also sent people to abolish my martial arts, cut off my tendons and veins, and drove me out of the Yun Mansion. Even though I am the queen today, it still cannot cover up the despicable things he did to me and my mother. Doesn't your majesty know all about this?"

Ting He stared at Yu Linyuan intently, not missing any of his expressions, but strangely, Yu Linyuan showed a guilty expression and quickly covered it up, saying:

"Even if what you said is true, General Yun raised you to adulthood. How can you kill you without authorization, and in my court? You are simply breaking the law knowingly. You are not worthy of the position of queen. In my opinion..."

"Shut up, Your Majesty. I think you have really forgotten our agreement, right? I came to court this time only to discuss the letter from the Western Regions. I just wonder how Your Majesty plans to deal with it?"

A trace of panic flashed in Yu Linyuan's eyes, and he said calmly:

"Yes, yes, what suggestions do you have, my dear ministers? Should we follow the letter and make the queen a saint and send her to the Western Regions, or should we depose her directly and then send her to the Western Regions? Otherwise, I think the Western Regions will definitely send troops again, and they may also work with Luosha Kingdom to put pressure on our country."

The more Ting He listened, the more incredible it felt. How could Yu Linyuan become like this? He had never shown his cowardice and timidity even when he was hurt and humiliated by Concubine Ning and her son. How could Yu Linyuan in the court now become such a weak, incompetent and timid person?

Then, she opened her mouth and tried:

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although I am the descendant of a princess from the Western Regions, I have lived in Chang'an City for more than 20 years, and I am the Empress of the Central Palace. Naturally, I will prioritize the Central Plains and reject the Western Regions. It is just a title of Saint of the Western Regions. I am unwilling to accept it. I hope Your Majesty will write a letter to respond to the Western Regions and reject it directly."

The old ministers all nodded and praised Ting He for being generous and steadfast in his principles, but Yu Linyuan stood up in dissatisfaction and shouted from the dragon throne:

"No, if you don't accept the letter from the Western Regions, what will we do if the Western Regions join forces with Luosha to attack us? I, I don't agree. I think that for the sake of the overall situation, we should let Yun Ting... uh, the Queen accept the title of Saint Maiden as soon as possible and go to the Western Regions in person to resolve the war."

Ting He frowned and looked at Yu Linyuan for a long time, then finally smiled with relief and said:

"Okay, then let's do as your majesty says. I am willing to go to the Western Regions as the Saint of the Western Regions and help your majesty stop the war."

After saying that, Ting He wiped the blood off his hands, glanced at General Yun who died with his eyes open, and left the court with his two children without even looking up.

Inside Kunning Palace.

Ting He held the phoenix gold hairpin that Yu Linyuan had personally made for her, stroking it over and over again, she murmured concisely:

"Yu Linyuan, you are such a shameless despicable villain. For you, I risked my soul being torn into pieces. I hurt Lao Liu and got half of his energy to keep my body together, just to spend more time with you and the children. But since when did you disappear? Was that fake Yu Linyuan disguised or was his soul occupying your body? I will definitely find out the truth and find you back."

After nightfall, Ting He attached an invisibility talisman to her and teleported into Yu Linyuan's palace. After performing the dream-entering technique, she walked into Yu Linyuan's dream. Sure enough, this person's dream was a mess, with even modern scenes. It seemed that her luck was good. She should have died in modern times and accidentally traveled to Yu Linyuan's body. But the strange thing was, how could Yu Linyuan, a man with a strong dragon aura and a well-deserved status as the emperor, be occupied by a modern loser?

When did it start? Was it when Mu Ruirui framed him while he was leading the army in person, or when Leng Yushang saved her, or when the imperial decree was issued at the border for her to return to the city?

Forget it, no matter what, since Yu Linyuan is not Yu Linyuan, it is fine to kill him. Ting Heting, who was about to kill him with one blow, hesitated and said:

"No, if Yu Linyuan's soul is still in his body, then the real Yu Linyuan won't be able to come back. Really, it would be great if I could kill the fake Yu Linyuan and still keep his original body."

While thinking, Ting He took out the lightning-struck soul-trapping wood from the previous world, but after studying it for a while, she had no spiritual power at all, and had no way to pull out the fake soul of Yu Linyuan's soul body. While she was hesitating, the little fairy came to her side quietly and said:

"Gou He, I don't know why you are so pedantic. Without Lao Liu, you can't remember me? He's just a soul. I can just eat him. Why bother? Can't you complete the mission without Lao Liu?"
