"Have you met Sun Jiye? Did you find anything special?" The wise king withdrew his gaze from a distance, slowly moved it to Lu Jinge, and asked softly.

Lu Jinge met the virtuous king's gaze, nodded, and said, "Your Highness, I have indeed met Lord Sun.

On the surface, he doesn't seem to be in any serious condition, but after some conversation, I feel that there may be some problems with his memory." At this point, Lu Jinge paused slightly, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, the wise king asked, "What's the matter? Feel free to tell me."

Lu Jinge took a deep breath and continued, "Lord Sun actually said that we are going to get married and that he would take me to buy jewelry. This is really unbelievable." After saying that, she couldn't help but frown slightly, with an embarrassed look on her face.

Upon hearing this, the virtuous king's face darkened, and he said bitterly, "Yes, I've tried to test him before, but when I mentioned Zhao Zeming, he looked bewildered and just kept shaking his head. Zhao Zeming is his own nephew, and now that his nephew is about to be killed by a villain, he's acting like this. It's truly chilling!"

Lu Jinge thought for a moment and suggested cautiously: "In my opinion, Lord Sun's amnesia this time may not be accidental. It may be caused by the residual toxins in his body that have not been completely eliminated. Your Highness, would you consider going there in person to rescue him..." She stopped talking before she finished because she was not sure whether her suggestion was appropriate.

The virtuous king was silent for a moment, then raised his head, gazed into the distance, and said in a firm tone, "Forget it. Things have come to this point. If I don't take action, those loyal ministers and generals will probably fall one after another. If this continues, won't the Nanling Kingdom be ruled by a new leader?"

Lu Jinge looked at the virtuous king's slightly tired face, and a feeling of admiration and pity welled up in his heart.

She then said softly, "Your Highness is devoted to the country and the people, and you have worked really hard. You have to deal with many affairs of the court, and you have to run around and work hard for these things. I deeply admire you." After that, she gently closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to see the wise king overworked.

The wise king had a total of seventeen brothers, and in order to compete for the supreme throne, they launched a thrilling and tragic life-and-death struggle.

In this brutal struggle, the brothers fell one after another, and in the end almost all of them died, leaving only the youngest brother who was still a child. Among them, the third prince Zhao Mian, with his extraordinary wisdom and tactics, successfully ascended the coveted throne of emperor.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not kill his only remaining youngest brother who was still underage. Instead, he showed rare kindness.

He named his younger brother Zhao Yi the virtuous king, and gave him meticulous care and protection, watching him grow up gradually.

Because of this special care, the wise king is also loyal to his brother.

As time went by, the wise king grew up and became an extremely sharp sword in the emperor's hand.

Whether it is to win over powerful ministers or to eliminate dissidents, the wise king can complete the task excellently and successfully every time.

However, facing such a complicated and dangerous court struggle, the wise king still had his own soft spot in his heart.

As for Lu Jinge, the wise king has always treated her as his own sister in private.

Especially when he learned about her unrequited love with Sun Jiye, the wise king could not help but feel deeply regretful.

At this moment, Yang Mingxi's gentle and sweet voice came from the kitchen: "It's almost ready, Your Majesty. I made you a bowl of steaming hot noodles. Let's fill our stomachs before we set off on our journey!"

Hearing this call, the virtuous king quickly responded: "Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you, Thirteenth Sister-in-law!"

As he spoke, he signaled to Lu Jinge with his eyes, and then strode towards the kitchen.

Seeing the virtuous king leave, Lu Jinge smiled and shouted to Yang Mingxi, "Xi'er, I'm starving too. Can you give me a bowl too? Oh, and don't forget Atang's portion. If you don't have his, he might get mad at you!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Jinge also walked towards the kitchen with light steps.

A bowl of steaming and fragrant noodles was devoured by the wise king Zhao Yi in no time. He patted his stomach in satisfaction, and at this time, the pancakes that had just come out of the pan also emitted an enticing aroma.

Yang Mingxi skillfully and carefully packed the cakes into a clean bag, added three water bags filled with space spring water, and handed them all to Prince Xian.

Yang Mingxi smiled, her eyes revealing sincerity and gratitude. She said softly, "In today's world, it's hard for loyal and righteous people to find a way out. I only hope that the virtuous prince can do his best to protect every last one of us! On behalf of those loyal and righteous people, I would like to thank you!"

The virtuous prince Zhao Yi steadily took the bundle, raised his hand to signal Yang Mingxi, and responded with the same smile: "Don't worry, Thirteenth sister-in-law, I will do my best. Farewell, please take care of yourself, and we will meet again!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already turned over and jumped onto the horse. He shook the reins in his hand, and the horse galloped away like an arrow, raising a cloud of dust and soon disappeared in the distance.

Yang Mingxi stood quietly there, staring blankly at the direction where the virtuous king left, as if she was completely immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu Jinge, who was standing by, reached out and gently pulled Yang Mingxi, saying jokingly, "Xier, come back to your senses! If you keep looking at me like this, I'm going to misunderstand you!"

After hearing Lu Jinge's words, Yang Mingxi slowly turned around as if waking up from a dream, but there was still a hint of confusion on her face.

She murmured to herself, "Third sister, why do good people in this world always have to go through so many hardships and sufferings? And yet those evil people who commit countless evil deeds can get away with it, with no conscience at all. What's the reason for this?"

Lu Jinge gently patted Yang Mingxi's shoulder and comforted her, "Xi'er, don't worry too much. You must firmly believe that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and good people will eventually receive the good results they deserve.

As for those evil people, their evil deeds will be punished sooner or later, and when that time comes, it will be too late for them to regret.

So, we just need to maintain a kind and upright heart and face the challenges in life positively."

As he spoke, Lu Jinge waved his arms a few times in a dashing manner, as if trying to dispel the gloom in Yang Mingxi's heart.

Lu Jintang carefully avoided the bustling crowd and escorted the virtuous king all the way.

What he said to the wise king was exactly the same as what Yang Mingxi said.

Upon hearing this, the virtuous king couldn't help but burst out laughing. A brilliant smile blossomed on his handsome face, and he jokingly said, "Haha, you really are a couple of the same mind! The way you two speak and act is like they were carved from the same template."

But don't worry too much, go back and enjoy that bowl of steaming hot noodles quickly. If you delay too long, I'm afraid the taste will not be so delicious."

Lu Jintang smiled and gently waved his hand to the virtuous king, his eyes firm and confident as he said, "Take care of yourself! Please believe me, those arrogant people will not be able to be arrogant for long!"

Justice will ultimately triumph over evil, and we will surely usher in peaceful days.”

After saying that, he turned around and slowly left, his figure gradually disappearing around the corner.
