"Thank you for your love, ancestor!"

"Thank you for your love, ancestor!"

Yu Mingde and Yu Side took the swords and knelt on one knee to thank Yun Zhixia.

Yun Zhixia smiled and waved her hand, motioning the two to stand up.

"Eat, eat!"

After dinner, everyone moved to the garden, with Yu Side and the other man accompanying them.

in the garden

Although it is already autumn, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, including the blooming winter jasmine, the frolicking lily of the valley, and the gorgeous peony...

Zi Ling sat by the fish pond and slowly scattered the fish food in her hand into the pond. The fishes scrambled to pop their heads out to grab the food.

"Look, the fish are fighting for food, and they are even stepping on others to get food."

"Isn't it the same for people? Third Prince, am I right?"

Hearing this, Yu Side looked up at Zi Ling, but saw her staring at him with a serious expression.

He was shocked and realized that he could no longer hide the fact that he had cut off Yu Kede's right hand.

Yu Side took a deep breath, took two steps back, and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.

"Ancestor, I was the one who cut off Yu Kede's right hand! I accept the punishment!"

"What a great way to accept the punishment! Do you think I dare not touch you?!"

Zi Ling threw away the fish food in her hand, stretched out her long legs, and kicked Yu Side in the chest.

thump……

Yu Side fell to the ground, covering his chest with his right hand, and cold sweat was visibly forming on his face.

Zi Ling is not an ordinary person. Her angry kick is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

"Yusde!"

Yu Mingde hurried over and wanted to help Yu Side up, but he dodged him.

Yu Side knelt on the ground again. He swallowed and a look of death appeared in his eyes.

"This is all my fault. I am willing to die as atonement!"

As he said that, Yu Side took out a dagger, pointed it at his chest and was about to stab it.

"stop!"

Yun Zhixia couldn't bear it anymore. She controlled her spiritual power to snatch the dagger, and flashed in front of Yu Side, looking quite disappointed.

"Are you stupid? You want to die at any moment? Get up!"

Yu Side glanced at Zi Ling, lowered his eyes slightly and did not move. He could not let the ancestor vent his anger on Ming De.

Seeing this, Yun Zhixia directly used her spiritual power to control Yu Side and made him stand up.

Yu Side was shocked. He felt a force controlling him and he could not move at all. He could only watch himself stand up.

"Tiantian, you..."

Zi Ling was still angry. She frowned and looked at Yun Zhixia.

"Tiantian, what are you doing? He dares to kill his brothers. I will not tolerate him!"

"Yu Ziling, shut up!"

Yun Zhixia was a little angry. She glanced at Zi Ling coldly and called her full name for the first time.

"you……"

Zi Ling was stunned. She didn't expect Yun Zhixia to be so mean to her. She was silent for a moment.

Yun Zhixia sat on the stool, calmed down, and said lightly.

"Yu Ziling, even if you are the founding empress, you have been dead for more than 500 years."

"It's true that you want to protect Dongqian Country, but you shouldn't care so much!"

"why?"

Zi Ling was a little confused. Wasn't it for the good of Dongqian Kingdom that she cared about all this?

Yun Zhixia looked at Zi Ling deeply and motioned Leng Jinye to speak.

Leng Jinye stood up after receiving Yun Zhixia's signal, and pointed at the fish in the lake and spoke.

"Look, the fish in this lake have endless food to eat every day. They are all fat and have lost their vitality."

"Once they are salvaged, they have no sense of vigilance and will obediently allow others to manipulate them."

As he spoke, Leng Jinye reached his hand into the water, and a chubby koi swam into his hand.

Seeing this, everyone seemed to be thinking about something.

Leng Jinye threw away the koi in his hand, looked at Zi Ling, and spoke bluntly.

"A prince who doesn't want to seize the throne is not a good prince. As long as he has the ability to ascend to the throne, he will have the means to secure the throne."

"Although the current emperor was very brave in fighting when he was young, he lacked some scheming and tactics. Otherwise, the emperor would not be confused by the two factions."

"It's not easy to conquer a kingdom, but it's even harder to keep it!"

Yun Zhixia nodded and raised her chin in agreement. "Let them fight, as long as they don't hurt the foundation of the country. Whoever wins will sit in that position!"

Hearing this, Zi Ling sighed, as if she was convinced. But she still felt uncomfortable.

"But Yu Kede..."

"He deserves it!"

Yun Zhixia did not hide her gloating at all. Wasn't she just pretending to be well-behaved?

You won’t pretend anymore, right?

Seeing that Yun Zhixia disliked Yu Kede so much, Zi Ling asked out of curiosity, but was met with a cold eye from Yun Zhixia.

"Who told him to pretend to be a lamb when he is actually a wolf? How dare he play tricks on me?"

"You don't know that the garden in the Ninth Prince's mansion is the most beautiful."

"Yes, the flowers are blooming very brightly and beautifully."

Yu Mingde loves flowers. He hired people to take good care of the flowers in the garden, and he would also take care of them himself. But the flowers here are not as good as those in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, when he heard Yun Zhixia's words, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked for methods.

Yun Zhixia glanced at him with a smile and teased.

"You only need to use human bones, blood, and flesh as nutrients, and soon, the flowers here will bloom more beautifully."

"!!!"

The smile on Yu Mingde's face froze, and a tingling sensation crept up his body, making him shiver.

Thinking of the time when he went to the Ninth Prince's Palace to pick flowers, he wished he could chop his hands off!

too disgusting!

Zi Ling had completely calmed down now. She shook her head slightly and sighed.

"That's it, that's all!"

"As long as you don't shake the foundation of the country, you can fight as much as you want."

"Tiantian is right, I was wrong."

Zi Ling waved her hand, feeling a little depressed.

Yu Side looked at Zi Ling in front of him with a serious look in his eyes. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was the founding empress Yu Zi Ling!

Thinking of Yu Mingde, he pursed his lips and revealed his true feelings to Zi Ling.

"My two elder brothers, I have no intention of fighting for the throne. My eldest brother is an upright man with outstanding military achievements. He should inherit the throne."

"I just want to live a peaceful life with Mingde, and I don't ask for anything else."

Hearing this, Zi Ling was a little surprised and asked back.

"You don't want this throne? Even if you don't fight for it, the Queen's faction won't allow you to not fight for it!"

Yu Side shook his head. After learning Zi Ling's true identity, he suddenly had a bold idea.

As long as he surrenders to the ancestor, perhaps he can be with Mingde and won't have to worry about the Queen's faction.

Thinking of this, Yu Side looked at Yu Mingde, knelt on his knees, and said sincerely.

"Before I learned about the identity of the ancestor, I wanted to fight for the throne. Only if I become the emperor can Mingde live a life without worries."

"It's different now. With the strength of our ancestor, the Empress's faction and the Imperial Concubine Shu's faction are completely powerless to resist. I don't want to be the emperor anymore. I just want to..."

"I only wish I could be with Mingde!"

"Yusde..."

The Seventh Prince did not expect that he would admit his feelings for him in front of everyone, nor did he expect that he had rejected him before only because he was forced by the situation.

At this time, Yu Mingde's eyes were red with excitement and tears flowed out unconsciously.

at last……

All these years of waiting have not been in vain!

"Yusde!"

The Seventh Prince ignored his own injuries and took two steps forward, hugging him tightly.

Yu Side gently touched his head, showing tenderness for the first time, and comforted him softly.

"Be good..."

"Woo woo woo, so touching!"

Yun Zhixia, who had an angry look on her face just now, was now extremely moved.

Leng Jinye glanced at her, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat off her face.

"Don't get excited. Look at your face full of sweat."

Looking at the pair of juniors in front of her, Zi Ling rubbed her temples irritably, but finally agreed.

"I promise you, but even if Yu Qingde becomes the emperor, you two still have to work for me obediently!"

"In the future, the two of you must assist Yu Qingde wholeheartedly. As princes and future princes, this is a responsibility you cannot escape!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Side and Yu Mingde understood Zi Ling's meaning and knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

"Thank you, ancestor!"

"What are you thanking me for? It's still uncertain whether the eldest prince has the ability to fight for the throne. Yuside, you have to fight harder and polish him well."

Inspired by Yun Zhixia, Zi Ling also thought about training the eldest prince.

But you can't be like Xiao Yuanzi, who, as an emperor, could be bullied by court officials.

Thinking of this, Zi Ling curled her lips in disgust.
