Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

At this moment, the dilapidated courtyard gate was opened and an old palace maid came out with an empty basin in her hand.

Suddenly seeing the two people standing there, the old maid was so frightened that she knelt down quickly and said, "This old slave pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't know His Highness was here. This old slave deserves death."

"Go and do what you want!" Beitang Yuan said lightly.

"Yes!" The old maid stood up, picked up the empty basin and retreated.

"Let's go in!" Beitang Yuan looked at the courtyard gate, his eyes darkened, and he walked in first.

Xie Jinglan followed him and said that the cold palace was really desolate. The yard looked shabby everywhere, and the dry weeds were taller than people in some places.

"Come in!" Beitang Yuan stopped in the yard.

Xie Jinglan nodded, walked over and pushed open the door that was shaking in the wind.

A foul stench hit my nose.

Looking around the room, I saw a worn-out table and a bed made of wooden boards covered with thick straw. A person was lying on the bed, covered with a worn-out blanket.

There was also a dirty jar next to it, which gave off a foul smell. I guess it was used to hold urine and feces.

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, the person lying down made an indistinct sound of "Ah ah..."

Xie Jinglan walked closer to the bed and looked at the person lying in the haystack. His head and face were wrapped in cloth, but the exposed skin was covered with burn scars.

This person is Changsun Man, the queen deposed by Emperor Kunming.

Seeing that it was her, the deposed Queen Changsun Man became excited.

"Zhang Sun Man, you never expected that! You've committed countless evil deeds your entire life, schemed so hard, and yet you've ended up like this?"

"You...ahhh..." Chang Sun Man made an angry sound.

"It's really retribution! Now you can't even speak. Even if your injuries heal, you will become an ugly monster. But compared to the evil things you have done, this punishment is far from enough." Xie Jinglan smiled coldly.

"Do you want to know what's happening outside? The Changsun family is plotting rebellion, and His Majesty has issued an order to exterminate all five clans. Your Changsun family has been destroyed..."

"Ah ah ah..."

Chang Sun Man's eyes were fierce, and she raised her hand to grab Xie Jinglan, but as soon as she moved, her whole body was in pain.

"From now on, you'll live a life worse than death here!" Xie Jinglan leaned close to her ear and said, "Just wait! One day, I will return your son's head to you."

After she said this, she was about to leave, but she saw Beitang Yuan also walked in and looked down at Changsun Man.

"Chang Sun Man, I know what happened to my mother back then was also your doing. Your father already knows about your affair with your junior brother. Beitang Hong may not be your biological son..."

"You...you...ahhh..." Chang Sun Man stared at him excitedly and angrily.

Xie Jinglan was shocked when she heard this. It was possible that Beitang Hong was not the son of Emperor Kunming?

Upon hearing this, Little Jinzi in the space also became excited. "Master, whether it's true or not, we'll know when we get the chance and do a DNA test on those two people."

"You didn't expect that I would know these secrets, did you? I also know that the person who cast the spell on me was actually your master, and that he was the one who told the prophecy to my father.

"Chang Sun Man, I will settle this account bit by bit, and then I will personally send you to hell." Beitang Yuan's fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and his eyes turned red.

"Beitang Yuan..." Xie Jinglan couldn't help but feel distressed for him and took his hand. "We will not let anyone who hurt you go."

Beitang Yuan turned his head to look at her, and the red in his eyes gradually faded.

"Let's go back!" Xie Jinglan pulled him out.

I've said everything that needs to be said to this woman. Let her suffer here alone!

"Let's go to your East Palace. I haven't seen where you live yet!"

Beitang Yuan was pulled out of the dilapidated cold palace by her and walked back the way he came.

The two of them were silent along the way, as if the air around them had frozen.

Coming to the bedroom where Beitang Yuan lived, it was also the largest palace in the Eastern Palace. It was located in the Eastern Palace. The building was grand and magnificent, with flying eaves and brackets, and the glazed tiles on the roof were shining; the vermilion walls were carved with exquisite designs and patterns.

"Let's go in!" Beitang Yuan took her into the hall.

He Changsong had already made tea for them and then left.

"Lan'er, actually my mother is not dead." Beitang Yuan suddenly said.

Xie Jinglan paused holding the teacup and looked up at him.

There was indeed a hidden story behind his mother's affairs.

"It was my father who broke her heart, and then he left. He announced to the outside world that she was dead." Beitang Yuan's eyes were distant, as if he had returned to the distant past.

"Then do you blame her?" Xie Jinglan didn't expect that things would turn out like this. No wonder he was always lukewarm towards Emperor Kunming.

"Don't blame her. She would feel better if she left. I was still young at that time, and she often hugged me and cried. I knew she was living a very painful life." Beitang Yuan slowly told her some things about his childhood.

"It's because of the Changsun family!" Xie Jinglan said.

"Well, not long after she left, my father made that woman empress. My grandmother strongly opposed it, believing that Changsun's virtue was unworthy of the position." Beitang Yuan said this with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "The man whose body was burned in Fengyi Palace, he now knows that woman betrayed him."

"Where is the Queen from? If you miss her, let's go see her. I have a plane and will be there soon." Xie Jinglan said.

"I don't know," Beitang Yuan smiled bitterly, "I heard from the Empress Dowager that she was a female knight in the martial arts world, a very capable person. She accidentally saved my father who was being hunted by an assassin, so my father brought her back to the palace."

That day, Beitang Yuan told her many stories about his childhood with his mother.

In the afternoon, in order to make him happy, Xie Jinglan accompanied him to practice shooting for more than an hour, and also let him try using a machine gun.

By the evening, his mood had indeed improved.

******

The end of the year is here in the blink of an eye, and every household is busy preparing for the New Year.

News came from the palace that Emperor Kunming was ill and the palace banquet was cancelled this year.

Xie Jinglan felt relieved after hearing this. She really didn't want to attend that palace banquet.

But she was called into the palace to treat Emperor Kunming.

Xie Jinglan treated him with the best medicine and gave him several third-grade pills.

Because Emperor Kunming cannot be busy now, Yuyong Kingdom still needs him to be in charge, so Beitang Yuan can free up time to do their things.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan flew to Linggun Mountain to visit their master.

This is what they promised their master that they would go and see.

But before they arrived, they saw from afar black gas rising into the sky above Linggun Mountain.

Xie Jinglan knew that something had happened, so she drove the plane to the maximum speed and found that someone had actually climbed up Linggun Mountain.
