Lin Yiwan spread her hands calmly, "Of course I'm not afraid. I'll make sure you die without anyone noticing. Don't underestimate this deep pit. This is where fertilizer is distributed to the medicinal fields. Sewage will flow in soon and drown you. Your bodies will gradually rot and eventually become the most nourishing fertilizer for the medicinal herbs!"

"Ugh!" The woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and bent over to vomit.

A hint of fear flashed in the dwarf's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he saw dirt flowing from the ditch not far away.

Zi'er quickly pulled Lin Yiwan back and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

The woman and the dwarf were unable to move and could only allow the filth to flow all over them.

The dwarf was short to begin with, and he was the first one to be drowned.

He quickly struggled free and strangled the woman's neck.

"Ugh!" The woman couldn't stand the smell and started retching again.

The dwarf shouted, "Why are you still vomiting? Confess quickly, or we'll become fertilizer for poison."

The woman quickly looked at Lin Yiwan and said, "It's the King of Loyalty and Bravery. We are his hired killers. We haven't received our payment yet. Please let us go!"

Lin Yiwan asked with interest: "How much is my life worth?"

The woman answered, "Thirty thousand taels of silver!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows. King Zhongyong had really suffered a lot in order to take her life.

Thirty thousand taels is indeed not a small amount!

However, she had no intention of letting the dwarf couple go. If she had not dodged quickly, the silver needle would have pierced her throat.

Let them make fertilizer to atone for their sins!

Without further hesitation, she turned and left.

The woman behind him cried out in despair, "You vicious woman, we've already confessed, why won't you let us go?"

Lin Yiwan said without turning her head: "Because you have done so many evil things!"

Soon, the filth submerged the two of them, and there was no more movement.

After Lin Yiwan got into the carriage, Zi'er asked, "Madam, should we tell the Marquis about the assassination that King Zhongyong sent someone to kill him?"

She shook her head: "Don't tell him yet, he is very busy now because of Li Guo's visit!"

Zi'er said distressedly, "But you can't just swallow this grievance, right?"

Lin Yiwan's lips curled up into a cold smile: "Who said I'm going to swallow it? I want to give King Zhongyong a big gift!"

As night fell, King Zhongyong was so angry that he smashed all the porcelain in the room because the assassins he sent out did not come back to report.

After he fell into a deep sleep, Zi'er quietly sneaked in, put him in a sack and carried him away.

As she carried it, she muttered, "I have to say, the drug Madam gave me is really effective. It even knocked out the secret guards outside. It's like entering an empty palace!"

She took a pill and stuffed it into King Zhongyong's mouth, then threw him on the city gate tower.

At this time, Zhan Yan was serving as the reception minister of the Sheng Dynasty, welcoming the envoys from the Li Kingdom into the palace. When he arrived at the city gate, he found that everyone's attention was attracted by the figure above.

Everyone started saying, "Who's that? Why is he dancing on the city gate?"

Zhan Yan frowned and could see that it was the figure of King Zhongyong.

Is he crazy? He actually ran to the city gate tower and danced naked?

He quickly ordered Shadow Soul: "Go and have a look!"

Soon, Shadow Soul brought down the unconscious King Zhongyong.

His body was already blue and blue from the cold, but he seemed to feel no pain. He said with a face full of longing, "Come on, beauty, dance and drink with me!"

Seeing his ugly appearance, the officials of Sheng State were so angry that their faces turned blue.

On the contrary, the envoys from the Kingdom of Li watched with great interest, and some even praised him: "The King of Zhongyong is really a true man. He went all the way to the city gate to find a beauty!"

Zhan Yan remained calm. The King of Loyalty and Bravery's embarrassing behavior gave Emperor Sheng An the opportunity to punish him.

He quickly said, "Come here, the prince is still hungover, pour ice water on him to wake him up!"

Yinghun obeyed the order and without hesitation took the ice water and poured it over him to cool him down.

King Zhongyong also woke up in an instant. He stared at Zhan Yan in a daze, and then saw those unfamiliar courtiers from the Li Kingdom. Suddenly, his vision went dark.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Why am I here? Zhan Yan, tell me how I ended up here?"

Zhan Yan replied calmly, "I was just wondering, Your Highness, why would you strip naked and dance on top of the city gate? It's a great opportunity for all our friends from the Li Kingdom to admire your uninhibited dancing!"

The King of Loyalty and Bravery was struck by lightning. When the Emperor found out, he was determined to have him killed.

He quickly said, "Someone must have been trying to murder me. I was sleeping soundly in my mansion, but when I woke up, I found myself on top of the city gate!"

Zhan Yan interrupted without hesitation: "Whether someone is trying to murder the prince or not is beyond my control. You should go to the palace and explain to the emperor!"

Without further hesitation, he ordered his men to bring King Zhongyong into the palace.

Emperor Sheng An had received the news long ago, and his face was gloomy and terrifying with anger.

When he saw King Zhongyong appearing in front of him in a miserable state, he rushed over and slapped him hard in the face.

"Brother Emperor, I am innocent!" King Zhongyong was beaten so hard that he staggered, but he did not dare to cry out in pain. He knelt down and crawled to his feet to beg.

Emperor Sheng An sneered, "You're being wronged? You went to the city gate tower to dance, and you even took off all your clothes. You're deliberately trying to bring shame to our Sheng Dynasty, aren't you?"

King Zhongyong shook his head vigorously. "No, I didn't. I don't know how I suddenly appeared there, and was even seen by the Li Kingdom envoys. My royal brother, someone must have deliberately embarrassed me and made our Sheng Dynasty a laughing stock!"

Emperor Sheng An angrily retorted, "Why would I deliberately harm you? Why not harm others? Ultimately, it's all because of your lack of virtue that someone took advantage of you. You've committed such a grave mistake, how can I forgive you?"

King Zhongyong looked at him in disbelief. "Brother, how else are you going to deal with me? I've lost everything, and yet you still won't let me go?"

Emperor Sheng An's face was filled with disappointment. He sarcastically said, "At this point, you still dare to turn the tables. You have nothing now, so should I be blamed? It's all your own shamelessness!"

The King of Loyalty and Valor didn't plead. Instead, he calmly asked, "So, what does Your Majesty intend to do with me?"

Emperor Sheng An spoke directly: "Imprison him on the top of Jiming Mountain!"

King Zhongyong felt like he was falling into an ice cellar. This time, Emperor Sheng'an was really angry. He knew that if he reached the top of Jiming Mountain, he would never be able to come down in his life.

No, he can't go!

He said anxiously, "Brother Emperor, you can't be so cruel. I am your brother and I am loyal to you. Why do you want to imprison me on the top of Jiming Temple just because I made a small mistake?"

Emperor Sheng An scoffed, "Damaging the prestige of the Sheng Dynasty is considered a minor offense? In the eyes of you, the Loyal and Brave King, are there no major offenses? Plotting to murder my offspring is not a major offense, seducing my concubine is not a major offense, and secretly storing troops and grain is not a major offense either."
