As Shangguan Wan had said, NATO would not let Wu Dan die in the Southern Yan City.
However, the cause of all this was still inseparable from Prince Rui's attempt to sow discord.
The Holy Father of NATO received a letter to add to the details.
Prince Rui was lying in his mansion, enjoying his life, waiting for news.
As expected, a white pigeon flew back with a roll of paper on its feet.
He opened it up and there were two words written on it — Alliance.
As a son, how could he not know his father's ambition? In the eyes of others, his father was kind, and he plotted everything for the common people.
King Rui looked at his only son with a face full of love. "Father has been number two in this world for too long. Jin'er, what do you think?"
Mingjin nodded, "Regardless, Jin`er will support you."
How rare, how rare for King Rui. The brocade from before would stop him and exhort him.
Yet today, Mingjin did not dare to stand by his side. How could he not be happy?
"Jin'er, it's good that you've thought it through. Don't worry, after a hundred years, the throne will definitely be yours."
Mingjin bitterly smiled. What did he want the throne for? What he wanted was merely a beloved woman.
Now that Wudan had gone mad, how could a woman who was perfectly fine go crazy? There had to be something fishy about it.
He wanted to find Xu Guang and ask him about it, but the unreliable, stinking Daoist Priest had already disappeared without a trace.
After bidding farewell to her father, Mingjin returned to her room and entered the secret room.
The purple smoke was becoming more and more gaunt.
Mingjin placed a thousand taels of silver on the table and spoke calmly, "Take it and leave. This is This King's last act of benevolence and righteousness."
Zi Yan, however, crumpled the banknotes into a ball and swallowed them as she smiled bitterly. "I have already accepted the banknotes, but Zi Yan will never leave the Prince half a step in this life."
Ming Jin's eyes were filled with anger as he grabbed the hair at the back of her head. He gnashed his teeth, "Do you not understand what I am saying? This King is already tired of you, so This King doesn't want to see you anymore. You'd better scram far away from This King, the further the better. "
The atmosphere in the room was terrible. The candles burned straight, and the shadows of the brocade were reflected on the walls, making the room look big and strong.
Purple Smoke took in a breath of cold air, but the tears in her eyes didn't fall.
She shook her head seriously, as if she was searching for faith.
Mingjin had no choice but to release her hand. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to chase this foolish woman away.
He laid on the bed with a dejected look in his eyes.
The conspiracy was not a small matter. If it was successful, one would become an emperor after a thousand people. If it was not successful, one would end up being a street rat with everyone shouting for a beating.
After all, she had the backing of Xuan Yue. If she wanted to overthrow him, it wouldn't be an easy task.
"This King will bring up the matter shortly." Surprisingly, he revealed this shocking secret, and his voice was not loud.
Zi Yan was surprised at first, then she kneeled on the floor beside the bed, one arm resting on the edge of the bed, the other lightly covering her stomach.
She was just a woman and didn't understand the principle of slandering a random subject. She only knew that the man in front of her was the person she liked, the father of the child in her womb.
Mingjin seemed to not have heard these words and could only sigh deeply, "The winner is the king while the loser is the thief …"
The extermination of the nine clans and the destruction of the lives of everyone in the Rui Family manor.
They fell into a long silence.
After that, they would undress without any exception.
While she was at her most excited, a white ribbon had already wrapped itself around her neck.
The man on top of him had a savage look on his face. "This King brought two items with him. The first was the banknote you swallowed, and the second was this white silk."
Purple smoke face flushed, more and more breathless, body out of instinct to struggle.
In the end, she would never let him off. This was the price of learning the secret. She understood Mingjin's style of doing things, he would definitely not let anything that could threaten him exist.
She could not cry out, nor could she shed tears. The moment she was killed by his own hands, she still loved him.
It was a pity that the unborn child was still in his womb.
This child shouldn't have existed in the first place, because every time after a love affair, he would make himself drink a medicine that was both bitter and astringent.
Originally, although she was unwilling, she would still obediently listen and drink it down. It was because she knew that she, as a lowly person, was not worthy to be pregnant with his child.
However, as time passed, she changed her mind. If she was willing to give him a child, even if it meant death, it would at least mean that there was some sort of relationship between her and him.
Therefore, she would secretly pour out the medicine and do her best to serve him every time.
She was finally pregnant. Although there was no doctor's diagnosis, she was sure that she was. Her eating habits and physiological reactions were proof of her pregnancy.
After that, she was careful not to make him suspicious or tell him.
With her death, it was as if this child had never appeared.
Mingjin was finally merciful. He didn't abandon her corpse in the wilderness, but rather ordered someone to bury her. He erected a monument with the words "Tomb of Purple Smoke" written in large characters on top of it.
A woman's life ended in such a short time that it was hard to tell if she would ever fall in love with him again.
Three days later, Emperor Nanyan's birthday celebration began.
The civil and military officials, as well as the guests from all over the world, were gathered together. The sounds of etiquette and music resounded throughout the palace.
"Father, today is your birthday. This son wishes you luck like the East Sea and a life longer than Nanshan." Shangguan Wan stood up and turned her body to toast the Son of Heaven who was sitting high up on her chair.
Emperor Nanyan smiled, stood up, and heroically raised his cup, "Very good, very good. Come, father will drink with you."
After saying that, the father and daughter drained their glasses of wine in one gulp.
As his son-in-law, Nangong Yu naturally had to toast.
Rui Wang looked at the scene in front of him and felt very proud of himself. It would be great if he started this incident today.
The civil and military officials toasted to each other together. How could the birthday party refuse? Thus, they drank a few more cups of wine, feeling a little dizzy.
Not long after, everyone fell, and King Rui and Mingjin stood up.
"Wang'er, take a look. It's really easy to get rid of these useless things."
Seeing this scene, the leader of the imperial guards was shocked. He pointed at King Rui and shouted, "King Rui! As a member of the royal family, you do not care about the grace of the royal family. You actually dare to rebel. Take down the rebels! "
King Rui did not mind. He bent down to pick up a wine cup and heavily smashed it on the ground. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers appeared around the palace.
Judging by the equipment and attire, it was easy to tell that they were NATO soldiers.
The leader of the imperial guards was even more infuriated. King Rui was truly bold. He actually dared to collude with NATO, as if he was betraying the country.
