The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom——Langya Pavilion

The next morning, Ye Ling dressed neatly and waited for Mo Yufeng and Su Su at the dining table in the front yard.

Qianqing and Qiuju were making breakfast while looking at the dining table in the yard, neither daring to speak. Wanqi was also hiding in the kitchen.

Mo Yufeng and Su Su were both surprised when they came out. They looked at each other and sat down at the dinner table.

Ye Ling said, "Good morning, Senior Brother, Good morning, Sister-in-law."

"Good morning, sister," Su Su responded and looked at Mo Yufeng.

Mo Yufeng looked at Ye Ling carefully: "Junior sister, are you okay?"

"Senior brother, after breakfast, I want to have a meeting with you, Ji Sishi and Yue Sishi." Ye Ling still showed no emotion.

"No problem, we should discuss this." Mo Yufeng still felt that Ye Ling was weird. She was crying her heart out last night, but she was so calm today? This was too abnormal.

"The meal is here," Qiuju came over with two plates of dishes.

"Wanqi, come and eat," Mo Yufeng shouted.

Wan Qi then trotted over. She might be the happiest person in this story. It was because she met Ye Ling that she became everyone's favorite.

After all the dishes were served, Ye Ling picked up the steamed buns and ate them. Qian Qing lovingly poured her a bowl of egg soup and said, "Miss, have some!"

Ye Ling didn't refuse. She broke the steamed bun into small pieces and put it in the egg soup, then ate it in big mouthfuls.

The people present were stunned. Wan Qi followed suit and broke the steamed bun into pieces before putting it into the egg porridge. However, she only took one bite before spitting it out. She looked at Qian Qing with grievance, "Sister, it's bitter."

"Hmm?" Su Su immediately tasted his own soup and spit it out: "Too much salt, it's really bitter."

Qiuju thought for a moment and asked, "Wanqi, did you put salt in the soup instead of sugar?"

Wan Qin nodded softly: "I thought it was sweet."

While they were talking, Ye Ling had finished his bowl of soup and poured himself another bowl to continue drinking.

Everyone was stunned. Mo Yufeng couldn't help but say, "Junior sister, it's so hard for you..."

"It tastes good to me, not bitter?" Ye Ling was also puzzled as to why it had no taste to her.

Su Su stood up, walked to the kitchen, and brought a bowl of black stuff: "Sister, this is the medicine the doctor gave you, drink it."

"Okay." Ye Ling picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Su was stunned on the spot. Qian Qing asked in a low voice: "Miss, is the medicine delicious?"

"well enough"

"What you drank was vinegar," Su Su said softly.

Ye Ling was stunned: "Jealous?"

Su Su nodded. As a crybaby, she held back her tears again: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you say everything is good? Can't you taste it?"

Ye Ling was also puzzled: "Qianqing, chili pepper."

Qian Qing wiped her tears and ran to bring the natural red pepper: "The dish was delivered this morning. Qiu Ju tasted this this morning and it was very spicy."

Ye Ling picked up one and ate it without hesitation, then the second, the third, and when he got the fourth, Mo Yufeng held him down and said, "That's enough, Qianqing, take it away."

No one spoke, and breakfast ended like this. Mo Yufeng and Ye Ling left and went to Ganlu Palace.

Ji Ruochen and Yue Chi were called to Mo Yufeng's study one after another. When they entered the room, they looked at Ye Ling without blinking, and tacitly did not dare to speak.

Just as Ye Ling was about to speak, Xuanyuan walked in: "Master, hello, the two... the three envoys."

Governor Mo Yufeng gestured for Xuanyuan to sit down, and then said, "Everyone, please have some tea first, and we will discuss matters later."

Ma Tao walked in: "Master, Doctor Kou is here."

"Let him in." Mo Yufeng stood up from the main seat and came to Ye Ling.

After entering the room, Doctor Kou went straight to Ye Ling and took her pulse.

Ye Ling was completely bewildered. Before she could say anything, Mo Yufeng spoke up: "Doctor Kou, my junior sister has lost her sense of taste and smell. She was fine two days ago."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three men immediately looked at Ye Ling nervously.

Doctor Kou said, "Envoy Ye, has this happened before?"

Ye Ling shook his head: "No."

Doctor Kou took out a box from the medicine chest slowly and unhurriedly. As soon as the box was opened, everyone present immediately frowned and covered their noses. Only Ye Ling, who was standing closest to him, remained indifferent. He looked at them with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

Doctor Kou closed the box and asked, "How's your hearing?"

"There's definitely no problem with your hearing," Yue Chi said.

"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No more," Ye Ling was sure.

Doctor Kou closed the medicine box. "It's not a big deal. She's just too sad, and the blood clots haven't gone away, causing a temporary loss of taste and smell. Remember to get plenty of rest, adjust your mood, and take your medicine on time, otherwise the blood clots in your heart will cause problems."

"Didn't Master use his internal energy to force out a blood clot from her yesterday?" Mo Yufeng was nervous.

"It came out yesterday, and it came out again today, Night Envoy, let me tell you the truth, you must treat yourself, otherwise relying on medicine will not work. In your condition, you must have not slept for several days and nights, and haven't eaten anything."

"I slept last night"

"Sleeping for an hour is called sleeping? Sect Master Mo, she can't do that. She is completely relying on her internal strength to support her body. If it were someone who didn't know martial arts, she would have stopped breathing long ago. Even if you are the best martial artist in the world, you are still a flesh-and-blood person, not a god. That's all I have to say." Doctor Kou left helplessly. He could not cure this kind of mental illness.

After Dr. Kou left, Ma Tao went out. There were only five people left in the room, and the four men were looking at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling was a little scared: "I'm really fine, brother, let's get started!"

Mo Yufeng had no choice but to discuss matters first: "Junior sister, let me introduce you, this is Xuanyuan, the envoy of the Ghost Hall of Langya Pavilion."

"Huh?" Ye Ling was confused. When did this Ghost Hall appear?

"Envoy Ye, nice to meet you." Xuanyuan bowed and said, "Let's talk quickly. After we're done, go back to sleep."

Ye Ling also bowed, "Envoy Xuanyuan."

Mo Yufeng briefly introduced the Ghost Hall to Ye Ling, and then got to the point: "Just say whatever you want to say!"

Ye Ling hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My... Senior Brother, if Nangong Hanyi steps down, will our Langya Pavilion not have to fight?"

"What? You want to kill Nangong Hanyi?" Yue Chi was shocked.

“I just want to know if this is true?”

"What do you want to say?" Ji Ruochen asked.

"Nangong Hanyi has been trying to kill me, and I don't want to be hunted by him anymore, so I agreed to make a deal with someone and help him ascend the throne. Then, I will be free and no longer have to worry about being assassinated every day, nor do I have to worry about bringing trouble to Langya Pavilion.

In Quezhou, I helped him defeat Gu Feixiang and kill the commander of the cavalry army, Yao Qi, and the prefect Hou Bing. Of course, he also protected me appropriately, and we destroyed the Illuminati in seven days.

During our cooperation, I discovered that he wanted to control me and make me his sword, but I couldn't clearly resist because there was someone next to him who I couldn't defeat yet. This person was not on the Nirvana in Fire list and was a hidden master.

"Is there such a powerful person?" Xuanyuan was curious.

"Don't interrupt," Ji Ruochen said, "Envoy Ye, please continue."

Ye Ling had a helpless expression: "I had never been in the martial arts world before, so I thought I was great and not afraid of anyone. I thought that after leaving Quezhou, everyone would go their separate ways and never see each other again.

But I was wrong. He asked someone to bring me a letter just before my senior brother's wedding. The content of the letter was simple and easy to understand. He asked me to... help him kill Nangong Xuan. The reward was that when he became emperor, he would promise me a favor, which I would propose, plus 100,000 taels of silver.

My first reaction was to not take it seriously, and I didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but Nangong Xuan was courting death, he killed…" Ye Ling clenched his fists, still unable to speak, so he avoided the question: "That's why I killed Nangong Xuan that day. Although I didn't take his life, he was disabled. After the incident, I immediately sent someone to send the news to the capital, to tell that person, tell him that he could move."

Mo Yufeng shook his head after hearing this: "My silly girl, do you know how difficult it is to seize power and usurp the throne? How could he possibly succeed?"

"If the Imperial Guards are his people, the troops stationed in the capital are his people, and the tens of thousands of troops on the border of Da'an are his people, do you think they will succeed?"

"Who has such great strength? Besides, military force alone is definitely not enough. The court officials will not surrender," said Mo Yufeng.

"The court officials will obey," Ji Ruochen suddenly said.

"What are you talking about?" Yue Chi was puzzled.

Ji Ruochen's thoughts were clear. He looked at Ye Ling with a bit of heartache: "Ye Sishi, you are much younger than me. I can actually call you a girl. You don't know the treacherous nature of human hearts and the ruthless calculations of the power grabber. You have been played by him. From the beginning to the end, you have been in his plan and have never left. Perhaps from the beginning, your mission was just to kill Nangong Xuan. As for Yao Qi and others, they were all a cover."

"Why?" Xuanyuan asked.

"Because what he needs most is not military strength, but a powerful official who can lead all civil and military officials to obey him, and who can gain the trust of court officials," Ji Ruochen said word by word.

"Grand Tutor Leng?" Yue Chi reacted. "If Envoy Ye kills the prince, it will be a grave crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of the clan. If the Leng family wants to protect themselves, they must assist the new emperor in ascending the throne. Only when Nangong Hanyi dies will this case be brought to a close. Although Grand Tutor Leng has resigned, as long as he leads the way in supporting this, nine out of ten people in the court will naturally second his proposal."

"The Leng family not only has connections, but also military power. Once the Leng family seconded the proposal, this person would have the support of all the military forces of the Cang Yue Kingdom. Are you afraid that he won't be able to sit firmly on the throne?" Mo Yufeng said.

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Ji Ruochen looked at Ye Ling. "That man has always wanted to take you for himself. He thought that if you killed the prince in public, the Leng family would hate you, and Langya Pavilion would also expel you. Then you would be left alone, where would you go? Now, if he reaches out, will it succeed? Unfortunately, he miscalculated Langya Pavilion. In our view, this is not a disaster, it is just as it should be. The enemy deserves death."

"Who is this person? Junior sister, can you tell me? I just thought about it, who else in the capital is so capable?" Mo Yufeng asked.

"There are only two princes left in the capital. King Wu is a warrior, so it's impossible. King Wen is a sickly man, so it's even more impossible. Could it be that... an outsider will seize the throne?" Yue Chi was also curious.

"Who says a sickly person can't be emperor?" Ji Ruochen hit the nail on the head.

Except for Ye Ling, the other three were shocked.
