Ye Wei had come to Yuan Country to seek help from Shui Yichen in order to avoid Yu Yunluo.
She had been heavily injured by Ming Xi, and Fan Luo had chosen Yan Xiaoliu. Fan Luo did not care about her at all, throwing her aside like she was a useless chess piece. She had been fleeing all over the place so that she could have time to cultivate. Only then would she be able to deal with Yu Yun Luo.
Yu Yun Luo hated her to the core. If she were to find her now, she might not be able to escape unscathed.
She was clearer than anyone else about Yu Yun Luo's ruthlessness. That old woman was able to cultivate out of the Blood Worm, it showed how resolute and ruthless she was. If she was really found by her, she would probably end up worse than Yu Yun Sheng.
By now, Yu Yunluo should have returned to Yunluo Palace, right? He would definitely come looking for her.
If … If Yu Man was no longer around, Yu Yunluo would definitely search for her like a madman until he killed her.
Although Shui Yichen was not a Blood Demon, he was at least a sensible person. Moreover, he had always been interested in cultivation. This was the only thing that could attract him, and only he could temporarily give her a place to hide.
No matter how powerful Yu Yun Luo was, she could not possibly defeat the ruler of a country.
Shui Yichen still hesitated.
He had seen those who had been bitten by the blood worms and knew how difficult it was to become a Blood Demon.
If he could not make it through, he would be a walking corpse, forever under the control of Ye Wei. The whole Yuan Country would perish along with him.
This was the Yuan Country that Lu Yaoyao had given him. He couldn't just leave it be.
Ye Wei understood Shui Yichen and knew the fear in his heart. This was also good, as long as she cultivated for a period of time, she would be able to recover her magic power. At that time, she would not be afraid of Yu Yunluo.
"Your Majesty, urgent report!" A palace servant's voice came from outside.
Shui Yichen glanced at Ye Wei and asked the person outside to come in and reply.
The urgent report came from the Ning Kingdom. Mo Mingyu had given the order to merge the three kingdoms, and he was already on his way to the capital city. The Ning Kingdom had chosen the capital city.
"A little girl wants to unify the world." Ye Wei chuckled. "It's more like she's preparing for you."
"Mo Mingyu has Mo Rongzhan, Lu Yaoyao, and Blood Demon behind her. Besides her, who else would be so lucky?" Shui Yichen was not surprised that Mingyu would unify the world. Sooner or later, this Yuan Country would be incorporated into the Ning Country.
It was just a matter of time.
When Ye Wei heard Lu Yaoyao mention Ming Xi, she curled her lips in disdain. "Are you really willing?"
"There's nothing to be unsatisfied about. All of this was never mine to begin with." Shui Yichen said that he did not even dare to cultivate the Blood Demon, so what qualifications did he have to compete with Ming Yu for this world?
"I heard that Mo Mingxi uses demonic beasts to fight. You can do it too." Ye Wei's tone was filled with temptation. She knew Shui Yichen's ambition better than anyone else. How could he be willing to give up Yuan Country?
Hearing this, Shui Yichen looked at Ye Wei and said, "Those demonic beasts are cruel and ruthless. They won't listen to the rule of mortals."
Ye Wei smiled and said, "It's not domination, it's cooperation."
Shui Yichen's gaze darkened as he looked at her thoughtfully. Cooperate with demonic beasts? That was … going against mortals.
"I will think about it." Shui Yichen said in a low voice.
…
…
In the capital, Murong Ke, who had already given the order to abdicate, felt a rare sense of relief. Although the capital, which had been ravaged by the demonic beasts, had not been completely repaired, and the people who had escaped had not all returned, the city seemed very desolate.
Rumors about Ye Zhen being a demonic woman were still circulating. Although with the conquest of Qi Kingdom and the news of Zhao Rao's madness, some people gradually saw the truth, there were still many ignorant people.
Even some ministers in the imperial court hoped that Murong Ke could send troops to kill Princess Qin.
Murong Ke scolded the person who said that.
"Has Princess Qin arrived at Ming Yu's side?" Lei Bingfu walked in with a food box and looked at Murong Ke, who was reading the memorials, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, she has arrived." Murong Ke nodded lightly. "Ming Yu will be back in a few days."
Lei Bingfu's eyes brightened. "Really? That's good. With Ming Yu here, you can rest assured. "
Murong Ke glanced at her. "You won't be bored either."
"I didn't say that I would be bored." Lei Bingfu said with a smile and took out the stew from the food box. "You don't have a good appetite these days, so I stewed some soup for you."
"Leave it, I will drink it later." Murong Ke said.
Lei Bingfu said angrily, "You said the same thing yesterday, but you still didn't drink it."
"Give it to me." Murong Ke smiled helplessly, took the soup bowl from Lei Bingfu's hand, and drank all the soup.
"Although you have abdicated, I don't see you being relaxed." Lei Bingfu said.
"Will you be disappointed that I am not the emperor?" Murong Ke asked lightly. His abdication was a sudden decision, and he didn't even give her a chance to be promoted.
Lei Bingfu smiled. "Why do you think I will be disappointed?"
Murong Ke thought about it carefully. Lei Bingfu never cared much about rank, so why would she care whether he was the emperor or the retired emperor?
She had always been very comfortable in the palace, and this comfort had nothing to do with her rank. Even if she was just a Jie Yu, she could live peacefully, as if she had been used to such a life in the palace.
"I will take you overseas in the future. You will like it." Murong Ke said.
Lei Bingfu smiled but didn't say anything. This was the second time Murong Ke said he would take her out to sea. Although it hadn't happened yet, she was really happy.
After experiencing a few life and death situations with Murong Ke, their tacit understanding was getting better, and their interaction was much more natural. In front of Murong Ke, Lei Bingfu no longer wore a dignified and cautious mask. The two seemed to have found the best way to be together.
If they could spend the rest of their lives together like this, it would actually be quite good.
"Your Majesty … Retired Emperor, Shen Guiren is outside asking for an audience." Fu De came in to report. It was difficult for him to change the way he addressed Murong Ke.
Murong Ke frowned and said, "Didn't she leave the palace?"
"I forgot to tell you about this. Shen Guiren and Su Jieyu are not willing to leave the palace. They said … they want to stay with you." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice.
Yesterday, they went to her place to make a scene, insisting on seeing Murong Ke. They were sure that she was playing tricks behind the scenes, so Murong Ke didn't want them to stay.
Murong Ke heard this and frowned. "We do not need them to accompany us. Let them go home."
Fu De said awkwardly, "Shen Guiren said that if Your Majesty is not willing to see her, she will kneel and not get up."
"Why don't you see her? After all, she is deeply in love with you." Lei Bingfu said with a smile.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lei Bingfu. How could he hear that she was gloating?
"Let her in." Murong Ke said lightly.
"Then this concubine will take her leave." Lei Bingfu smiled. She knew that Murong Ke was a loner. The only woman who could make him really care about her was probably Princess Qin.
She didn't dare to find out what kind of feelings he had for her.
There were some things that didn't need to be asked too clearly. Life was only a short few decades, and it was enough if it could pass peacefully.
