My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

"Sister Jing is the love of my life!"

Concubine Wan suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter was a little crazy, her face was distorted, and tears flowed on her face which was a mixture of tenderness and hatred.

"Although she only treated me as a sister, in my heart, she is my heaven, my everything! So, now that she is gone, her son is my son!" She looked at Yan Ruobing a little madly and raised the jade comb in her hand, "Are you satisfied with this answer? This jade comb is the only thing Sister Jing left me. If it weren't for her, I would have died long ago. For the sake of your throne, you sent me to that hell with your own hands. It was Sister Jing who saved me...but she is dead! Killed by Cui Qimo..."

These words made Yan Ruobing's mind buzz: Princess Wan and Concubine Jing...

Cui Hongjing was very calm. Princess Wan had already told him about these things on the way back to Changguo.

Princess Wan suppressed her smile and said, "Since you owe me, I want you to guarantee their safety within the territory of Changguo. Otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Yan Ruobing let out a long breath. Judging from her mental condition, she must have subconsciously regarded Cui Hongjing as her own son.

He nodded coldly, "I promise you, but Prince Jing must also promise that after ascending the throne, he will form an alliance with my Dachang."

Cui Hongjing said coldly: "I cannot agree to your request, because I do not want to fight for that position. I have only one goal, revenge! Even if I fought for it before, it was for revenge."

Yan Ruobing glanced at him in surprise and said nothing.

"I have another secret to tell you..." Princess Wan looked at Yan Ruobing, "But, he can't listen."

Yan Ruobing had no choice but to leave first.

Half an hour later, Cui Hongjing also came out, looking dazed.

He found Yan Ruobing still standing in the yard, with her back to him and her hands behind her back.

The two were silent for a moment, no one spoke.

"Aunt Wan likes osmanthus. Can the emperor plant a patch of osmanthus for her in this yard?" Cui Hongjing broke the silence.

"Okay! She's right. I owe her." Yan Ruobing didn't ask what secret Princess Wan had told her, but said, "I promised to keep you safe in Changguo, but I wonder if Prince Jing can do something for me?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Yan Ruobing suddenly turned around, his sharp eyes fell on Cui Hongjing's face, and he said word by word: "Before leaving, you killed the Empress for me..."

Cui Hongjing's pupils shrank: "As far as I know, the emperor and the queen have always been deeply in love..."

"You don't need to know the reason!" Yan Ruobing said in a cold voice: "You only need to know two things: First, if you fail, none of you will be able to leave Yecheng alive. The second thing..."

He sneered, looking at Prince Jing like a cat watching its prey struggling under its claws.

"The second thing is, do you think that I can't find out what the King of Chu has found out about Miss Mei's life experience? Do you think that no one knows about the things you and the King of Chu have done together these days? Hahaha..."

Cui Hongjing, who had not yet fully recovered from the secret told by Princess Wan, was shocked again.

Yan Ruobing had always known that Mei Xueer was the daughter of Princess Anping of South Vietnam, but he had never revealed it, waiting for an opportunity to use it to blackmail Cui Hongjing.

He could only be blackmailed by him.

He knew how much Yan Ruobing hated Princess Anping.

Although he didn't know why Yan Ruobing wanted to kill the queen, he had no choice but to do it.

"The death of the Queen must have nothing to do with me at any time, so you should understand that this is a secret between us forever. Also, I will not withdraw the guards in the palace to provide you with any convenience. As for how to act, it is your own business." Yan Ruo left after saying this.

……

Posthouse.

"No, no! This is simply impossible!" Zhuang Xiang became anxious upon hearing this. "The queen has been in the palace and is under strict security. How can we assassinate her? Besides, we have to leave early tomorrow morning. It's already afternoon and there's not enough time!"

"But he threatened Xue'er's life!" Cui Hongjing's face was livid. "Maybe he won't touch me, because he wants me to go back for revenge and turn the Kingdom of Zhen upside down so that he can reap the benefits. But he will take Xue'er's life. We only have 3,000 soldiers with us. How can we resist the imperial guards of Changguo?"

Zhuang Xiang: "Even if we kill the queen, he will send out the imperial guards to search the whole city for the murderer under the banner of revenge for the queen. We still can't escape then, and we might even have to take the blame! Maybe this is a trap he dug on purpose. If we don't jump in, we will die. If we jump in, we will also die. He can also take the opportunity to start a war again in the name of the assassination of the Queen of Changguo by the Prince of Zhenguo."

"I have thought about all these, but is there any other way now?"

Zhuang Xiang: ...

Yes, just because Mei Xueer saved the prince's life regardless of her own life, it is impossible to push Mei Xueer out to die.

"How about asking Princess Wan for help again?"

"No!" Cui Hongjing stopped him sternly, "I can't let Aunt Wan take risks again. With Yan Ruobing's Chen Mansion and cold methods, no one can tell how much weight Aunt Wan still has in his heart."

"It was my fault for not thinking it through... By the way, what did Princess Wan say to the prince?" Zhuang Xiang suddenly remembered.

Cui Hongjing waved his hands in annoyance, "Those are not urgent, the key is the matter at hand... You go to the Prince of Chu's mansion as soon as possible, I want to meet him immediately... Forget it, you go inform Li Mo, I will go find Xue'er and let An Ran come forward to make an appointment with the Prince of Chu."

An hour later, in a safe house found by the King of Chu, Cui Hongjing, Mei Xueer, the King of Chu, Li Mo, Zhuang Xiang and five others sat around the table.

"What does it have to do with me? Why should I help you?" Li Mo leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looked at Cui Hongjing, put his feet on the table and swayed.

Cui Hongjing looked at him coldly: "I think it would be helpful for us to find out why Yan Ruobing wanted to kill the queen first. I think you may know a lot about the royal family of Changguo."

He turned his gaze towards the King of Chu and said with a wry smile, "Perhaps I know more than the King of Chu."
