The mutiny failed.

Murong Jingyan became a prisoner.

With the help of hidden stakes.

He narrowly escaped death row.

Finally, he fainted in a dilapidated corner.

Wait until he regains consciousness.

He was surrounded by a group of ragged people.

There are men and women.

Most of them are disabled men or elderly women.

"He's awake, he's finally awake."

"I'll go inform the girl."

"Okay, hurry up and come back."

Not long after.

An old woman came with a young woman who looked to be about 23 or 24 years old, carrying a food box.

The woman simply took his pulse and poured a bowl of black medicine and a pitch-black pill into his mouth.

"You won't die. Just get some good sleep for two days and you'll be fine when you wake up."

Her voice was cold and her movements were quick and decisive.

When I got up and left, I didn't feel any reluctance at all.

Murong Jingyan had just woken up and fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, in his dream, there was no damp and bloody torture chamber.

Between the wings of the nose, there is the scent of straw mixed with sweet fragrance.

The sun's warmth fell on him.

When you wake up again.

He just felt full of energy, and even the wounds left by the punishment in the death row had scabbed over.

A middle-aged man with a broken arm sitting next to him smiled at him kindly, "Are you awake? Divine Doctor Shen is truly a master of foresight."

As he spoke, he lifted the tattered mat behind him and took out a big, soft steamed bun and a bowl of steaming rice porridge from under the mat.

"This is what the miracle doctor left for you. Eat it and you'll have strength."

Murong Jingyan held the food in his hand almost instinctively.

The question in his heart blurted out, "Who is Doctor Shen?"

Hearing his question, people who were eating in other corners gathered around him.

One of the white-haired old ladies, looking even more vigorous, squeezed in front of him and asked, "You don't even know who Divine Doctor Shen is?"

Murong Jingyan asked back, "You know?"

"She was originally the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Shen Chuanhai. Later, her mother died, and the Minister of Personnel married a new wife. The stepdaughter took the position, and her fiancé was also snatched away.

After waking up from the water, she went to beat the drum to report the incident, but ended up having one of her legs broken and was kicked out of the house.

At first she didn't give up and wanted to crawl back.

Now she seems to have let it go, and just keeps the little farmland, collects rent from the shop, and occasionally hires us to help her look after the shop and the farmland, and that's how she lives her life."

As she spoke, the old woman noticed Murong Jingyan's gradually furrowed brows, "Are you worried about Divine Doctor Shen?"

"No."

"Looking at you, you must have fled from the border, right?"

Two years ago, during his last diplomatic mission to Beichen, Beichen slandered Murong Jingyan for killing important officials in the court and then launched an attack on Nanyuan.

Nan Yuan tried his best but could only achieve a delicate balance.

Even so, the people living on the Nanyuan border were suffering from the continuous wars.

It is not uncommon for people to flee and scatter to seek a living.

At least, in this dilapidated temple, there were many people who fled from the border to the vicinity of Yecheng and were rescued.

"Yes..."

In order to avoid hiding his tracks, Murong Jingyan took the steamed bun and started eating it.

From that day on, he noticed the girl.

Because taking in border refugees for no reason is definitely not a coincidence.

He thought she would become a spy for the enemy country in order to sell out her country.

Unexpectedly, she was so bold that she wanted to poison the current Minister of Personnel by herself.

On two occasions, after she failed, he appeared in time to take her away and warn her.

However, no matter how many times she was warned, she still did her own thing.

"This is a matter between me and Shen Chuanhai. You are an outsider, so don't interfere."

She left very cleanly.

But her two previous poisoning attempts had already alarmed Shen Chuanhai.

There was no way Shen Chuanhai would let her go easily.

In order to repay her for saving his life, he had to find a way to stop her third action.

Following all the way, he came to a bamboo forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a simple and quiet bamboo hut.

There are three memorial tablets side by side in the small bamboo hut.

The tablet of my biological mother, Ms. Gong.

The tablet of my beloved sister Ling Xi.

The tablet of the late Crown Prince Murong Jingyan.

She...what does this mean?

He was shocked.

The two of them had never met before...

"What are you here for?"

She obviously recognized him and her attitude was very bad.

He didn't have time to care about that, he just wanted to find out what she really wanted.

"Have you met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"No." She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and lit a stick of incense in front of each of the memorial tablets. Her tone was cold, "I just felt that we had a certain sympathy for each other."

"Why?"

"His mother died because his father favored a concubine and killed his wife. My mother also died because my father favored a concubine and killed his wife. We can be said to have the same suffering."

"..."

Murong Jingyan thought of many reasons, but never thought it would be such a reason.

"Shen Chuanhai has already laid a net to catch you. What are your plans?"

"Since I can't kill Shen Chuanhai for now, I will go back to Beichen to seek revenge."

"What revenge?"

"The blood feud between my daughter and my best friend."

The two were silent for a long time.

She laughed to herself, interrupting the strange silence.

"You are one of the late Crown Prince's men, right? I saw you escaping from the death row, and those injuries on your body are probably caused by your refusal to surrender.

It's rare to find someone as sincere as you.

Meeting each other is fate. I hope that one day we will have the opportunity to fulfill our wish and hear good news from each other."

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he asked, "How about I help you kill Shen Chuanhai?"

"Okay." She didn't doubt his words and took out a jade token from her waist. "This is a token of my love. If one day you help me kill Shen Chuanhai, you can find me with the jade token. I will thank you very much then. If there is a chance, we can still pick lotus in summer and cook wine in winter."

"...good."

Two people without a future are imagining each other's future.

Maybe it was she who gave him great faith.

A few years later, he succeeded.

But I haven't received any words from her yet.

He had anticipated her failure.

However, she did not expect that she would suffer a crushing defeat.

After death, his bones were crushed and his ashes were scattered.

The ones who killed her were Prince Rong Gu Shi and his seemingly kind Princess Rong.

However, at that time, Gu Shi's power in Beichen was at its peak.

He had just taken over the mess of Nanyuan, and it was very difficult for him to maintain his regime. In addition, the war between the two countries had been going on for several years, and countless lives had been lost.

No one can afford to go to war again.

Her deadly hatred was like a fine needle deeply embedded in his bones and flesh.

Follow him like a shadow.

Every time he took a breath, his chest ached.

He believed he had done nothing wrong to heaven and earth, but he owed her something...

Because, even though he killed Shen Chuanhai, he later killed Gu Shi.

But he never had the chance to tell her in person.

after that.

Xuanqing from Ziyang Temple found him.

"Your Majesty, you feel a sense of guilt, and if you wish to achieve perfection, you can only turn back time and start over again."

"If I start over again, I can get everything I want?"

"Then it depends on what your Majesty is obsessed with. Is your Majesty willing to ask for a chance to start over?"

"I want to ask for a second chance for another person, to find perfection."

"Then it depends on whether Your Majesty is qualified."

After saying that, Xuanqing left with a smile.

From that day on, Murong Jingyan began to look for a suitable successor while working hard to govern the country.

He didn't know what qualifications Xuanqing was talking about, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him: Follow your heart, and everything will be possible.

Thirty years later.

The white-haired Xuanqing found him again.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lend a hand to your request."

He took the heavy burden off Nanyuan.

Sitting before the magic circle, Xuan Qing asked him, "Your Majesty, do you have any unfinished earthly ties in this world?"

"In this life, I have lived up to my mother's wishes and been a good king. Now I only wish to be able to live again, to gather lotus in summer and brew wine in winter with the one I love."
