The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Inside Foguang Temple.

The golden wall is surrounded by green shadows, and the dome branches cover the Brahma sky.

The sunlight shines through the mottled leaves, casting tiny shadows on the ground, like dots of Buddha's light, giving the temple a layer of sacred glow.

A melodious bell sounded, and the deep Buddhist chanting echoed through the forest. Ji Wuwang galloped towards them...

He dismounted and walked into the temple. There was an endless stream of pilgrims coming to burn incense in the main hall, and the incense was very popular.

Ji Wuwang was led by the young monk to the backyard of the temple.

In the backyard, the environment is quiet and peaceful, with several vigorous pine and cypress trees standing tall in the corner. The national teacher Jikong, wearing a solemn monk's robe and holding a wooden fish, is sitting under the tree in meditation and chanting.

Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes, put down the wooden fish in his hand, and said lightly: "Here it comes..."

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Ji Wuwang sat down on the stone bench beside him as he was told.

The Imperial Master twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand, looked at him calmly, and said, "What is the purpose of your visit, Your Highness?"

Ji Wuwang said directly: "Fulfill your wish."

The Imperial Master smiled kindly and said, "But the prince did not get what he wished for."

Ji Wuwang lowered his eyebrows, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay."

"At least I found her..."

"This time, besides fulfilling my vow, I want to say goodbye to you."

Ji Wuwang seemed to be talking to himself, "I am leaving. After leaving the capital this time, I don't know if I will have the chance to come back in this lifetime..."

"In this capital, the only person who has some friendship with me is you, the Imperial Master."

The Imperial Master looked at the handsome and elegant young man in the snow-covered clothes in front of him, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

He asked, "The eternal lamp that the prince has been offering to the Buddha for many years...is it still necessary to continue?"

Ji Wuwang nodded slightly. Under his instructions, Shi Feng and Shi Lin added a huge amount of incense money to the temple.

Seeing this, the Imperial Master shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Why is your Highness doing this?"

"People should look forward. Why confine themselves to a confinement?"

Ji Wuwang smiled nonchalantly and said bitterly, "I understand all of this."

"I just want to do what I can for her before I leave, even if she doesn't need it."

"After this separation, we will never be together again in this life."

"I just...want to make up for some regrets..."

After saying this, Ji Wuwang said goodbye and strode away.

The Imperial Master looked at his lonely and dejected back as he left, his expression solemn.

As he watched, he shook his head and sighed helplessly: "You will be back soon..."

"Your fate and entanglement with her began in your previous life. If you hadn't met in this life, it could have been resolved, but you still met..."

"The great calamity of life and death, neither life nor death, how to resolve it?"

......

A few days later, Baili Yufeng and Baili Yuyan were sitting opposite each other in the inn, playing chess leisurely while discussing the current situation of the Dasheng Dynasty. Each of them had his own little thoughts, testing each other, and their hearts were not in harmony.

Baili Yufeng seems to be hanging out in brothels all day long, but in fact, apart from being lustful, he is also busy with other things, and he pretends to be busy on purpose for everyone to see.

Baili Yuyan stayed quietly in the inn every day without fighting or competing, but he was secretly trying to win over Ji Wuyuan and the ministers in the court.

This was the case with the Qi family back then.

Over the years, Baili Yufeng always thought that the Qi family was cooperating with him, but in fact, the real person behind the scenes was him, Baili Yuyan.

So what if my mother's family is powerful? They are still stupid and have been fooled by me.

Thinking of this, Baili Yuyan smiled calmly, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

Recently, he won over a minister in the court. The other party had long been privately dissatisfied with Ji Wuyuan's continuous suppression of the aristocratic families, but he made a request.

The minister was over fifty years old, greedy for money and lustful. He had coveted Nangong Liuli when she was still Princess Liuli. However, the Nangong family was of a much higher social class than his at that time, so he could only suppress this dark thought.

Now, apart from her relationship with the Saint of Nanyue Country, Nangong Liuli is just an orphan, and she has changed her identity. She is no longer the remnant of the Nangong family's rebels, so he has no scruples at all.

Therefore, the minister made a request to Baili Yuyan. He was willing to cooperate, but he wanted the Glazed Saint of Nanyue Kingdom.

Nangong Liuli was carefully cultivated by Baili Yuyan and specially given to Ji Wuyuan.

According to his previous thoughts, he would definitely refuse immediately.

But now, Ji Wuyuan's attitude towards Nangong Liuli has always been distant. For so long, he has not shown any intention of taking her into the harem.

Seeing this situation, Baili Yuyan had some other considerations in his mind.

If Ji Wuyuan had not taken Nangong Liuli into his harem before their delegation left, he would find a suitable opportunity to give her to the minister.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by a trusted guard hurried in and whispered a few words in Baili Yufeng's ear. The latter's face changed instantly, he stood up and strode away.

The black jade chess piece in his hand fell onto the chessboard, instantly disrupting the originally complicated and stalemate chess game.

Baili Yuyan curled his lips, revealing a mocking smile, but before the smile was fully revealed, a secret letter appeared in front of him.

Baili Yuyan looked at the contents of the letter, his pupils suddenly trembled, and the hand holding the letter was shaking slightly...

The letter said that the bedridden king of Nanyue Kingdom suddenly passed away. Before his death, he announced his will and passed the throne to the third prince Baili Yuchen. After the funeral, the coronation ceremony will be held.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, catching them off guard.

Baili Yuyan looked at his men kneeling on the ground with cold eyes. Their joints creaked, which was particularly creepy in the already dead silence.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Such an important matter, why did you send the message now? Are they all dead?"

The servant kneeling on the ground immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I don't know what's going on. The letter we sent out has not received a reply yet..."

As he spoke, the servant's body began to tremble more and more.

By now, Baili Yuyan had already noticed something was wrong.

I think Baili Yufeng's hasty departure just now was because he had received this news.

Baili Yuyan knew better than anyone else the physical condition of their terminally ill father.

Because, it was he who had people put chronic poison in his father Baili Hong's daily diet for many years. Rather than saying that he was terminally ill, it would be better to say that he was a "living dead"...
