Søren and Jung Yeon rushed into the Purple Jade Palace.
The Nightmare King was still unconscious. Next to him, Ma Yingting was tightly holding onto his withered hand. Her expression was one of fear and unease.
Gao Yin had also arrived here in advance. He looked very calm, but upon closer inspection, his gaze was indeed unfocused.
Upon seeing Søren, Ma Yingting said in a hoarse voice, "Søren, come quickly and wake him up."
Søren stepped forward and gently grasped the pulse of the Nightmare King's wrist. He found that it was already extremely weak, almost indiscernible.
"After Her Highness and Sir Søren achieved a complete victory and entered the palace, His Majesty was very happy," Gao Yin said. "Furthermore, His Majesty was even happier when he saw Princess Zhi Ning giving birth to Xiaojun. That was the happiest day of his life, and also the day that he ate the most. But ever since then, he has been eating less and less. In recent days, he has barely been able to eat, and he seems to be sleeping most of the time. "
Søren knew why.
He had been able to survive all these years because he had been supported by a belief.
He wanted to live for the sake of Jung Yeon and Søren. Before Zhi Li was defeated, he could not die. Once he died, Zhi Li would directly ascend to the throne, and the Raging Wave Kingdom would become a colony of the Hidden Island.
Therefore, the Nightmare King, who should have only been able to hold on for half a year, actually held on for more than two years.
When Zhi Li was defeated and Søren and Jung Yeon successfully entered the palace, he completely relaxed. The belief that had been supporting him was also gone.
Of course, very soon, the Hidden Island launched an attack, bringing a fatal crisis to the Raging Wave Kingdom. This gave him some hope.
He wanted to live to see Søren survive this crisis.
But soon, Søren emerged victorious in this crisis. Not only did he survive the crisis, but because of the Dragon Temple's internal strife, the Hidden Island could no longer take revenge on the Raging Wave Kingdom for the next few years.
The Raging Wave Kingdom ushered in a few golden years.
Therefore, the king was completely relieved. He no longer forced himself to live and let nature take its course.
Of course, if there was anything he couldn't let go of, it would be Søren and Jung Yeon's wedding and their child.
"Søren, can you save His Majesty?" Ma Yiting asked.
Søren nodded and said, "I'll give it a try, you guys go out first."
Immediately, everyone left, leaving only Søren in the palace.
Søren gently took out a dagger and made a small cut on the back of the king's neck, then made a cut on his own finger.
As soon as the cut on Søren's finger was made, blood began to gush out. The cut on the king's neck didn't ooze much blood even after a while. His life force was already extremely weak.
Søren suddenly felt an incomparable bitterness in his heart.
He pressed the two wounds together and let their blood mix.
Eros turned into countless energy tentacles and drilled into the king's body.
"Eros, did the king have another stroke?" Søren asked.
"No" Eros answered, "His life force is just exhausted, like a lamp that has run out of oil"
"Can you save him?" Søren asked.
"No" Eros answered, "He died of natural causes"
Søren asked, "Then can you wake him up now?"
"That's possible" Eros answered, "But after he wakes up, he probably only has 2-3 days left to live"
Soran's eyes became hot as he said, "Then let him wake up."
"Yes" Eros released an extremely weak amount of energy to lightly stimulate the king's brain.
Once, twice, thrice …
All of a sudden, the Nightmarish King's withered body trembled, then used all of his strength to open his eyes.
"Father-in-law" Søren's voice trembled as he called out to the people outside.
However, the Changeable King directly grabbed his hand, and his mouth struggled to make a sound.
Søren put his ear next to the king's ear and tried to understand what he was saying: "You, Eros, World Destroyer Demon Emperor?"
Hearing these words, Søren's body trembled and stared at the Nightmarish King in disbelief.
He knows?!
Just like Ashita Liren, the Nightmarish King was also knowledgeable and had a certain understanding of the legendary Eros.
After all, Søren wasn't the first host of Eros.
For normal people, Eros was naturally a top secret, but for people of the Nightmarish King's and Ashita Liren's level, they weren't completely ignorant.
When Søren used Eros to save Ashita Liren, she had already woken up, but Søren was unconscious.
When she was awake, Eros was still devouring the cold energy in her body, so she thought of Eros.
The Nightmarish King appeared to be unconscious, but he was actually conscious. However, his vitality was so weak that he couldn't even open his eyes.
He could sense everything around him, but he couldn't respond at all.
Therefore, he could also feel the wound that Søren had cut on him, and he could also feel a surge of energy entering his brain, accurately stimulating his brain nerves.
Therefore, he also thought of an extremely mysterious and terrifying term — Eros!
The entire Purple Jade Palace was equipped with a psychic shielding energy formation, so there was no need to worry about any fluctuations inside leaking out. That was why the Nightmarish King said the words Eros, the World Destroyer Demon Emperor, and so on.
After asking the question, the Nightmarish King looked at Søren with his dim and powerless eyes, waiting for his answer.
Søren's face twitched, and then he nodded.
Immediately, he felt the Nightmarish King's grip on him tighten, and then he heard the Nightmarish King's voice with great difficulty, "Child, don't let anyone know, anyone!"
The Nightmarish King used up almost all of his strength when he said "anyone".
When he said "anyone", of course, he included the people closest to him, such as his family, wife, and even Suo Ningbing, Yan Nair, and Princess Jung Yeon.
Søren's eyes were filled with tears, and he nodded.
Then, the Nightmarish King waved his hand, indicating that the people outside should come in.
Søren went to open the door, and Jung Yeon, Ma Yiting, and Gao Yin walked in.
The three of them surrounded the Nightmarish King's bed, and each of their gazes were filled with love and worry.
The Nightmarish King grinned with great difficulty, and his gaze and face revealed an expression of happiness.
He didn't need to speak, and the others could understand what he meant.
He wanted to express that he wasn't too successful as a Nightmarish King. Because he didn't know how to compromise, he was actually a mere figurehead in the last few years, and his power was taken away by the Hidden Island and Zhi Li.
But he was a successful father, a successful brother, and a successful master.
When he was on his deathbed, these people surrounded him, full of reluctance and love.
There were many Nightmarish Kings whose sons still harbored evil intentions and fought for power before they died. No one cared about the Nightmarish King's life or death, and they could not wait for the Nightmarish King to die so that they could ascend the throne.
And in some dynasties, after the Nightmarish King died, his sons continued to fight and kill each other, letting the Nightmarish King's corpse rot and grow maggots.
As for the Nightmarish King, when he was on his deathbed, there were so many people who loved him.
So, he felt that he was incomparably happy and successful.
He grabbed Søren and Jung Yeon's hands with great difficulty, and said with a trembling voice, "Get married, get married immediately …"
Then, he held their hands together.
At this moment, Søren couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears gushed out of his eyes.
The Nightmarish King clearly knew that he was the Master of Eros, the World Destroyer Demon Emperor, but he still allowed Jung Yeon to marry him, and still entrusted the Raging Wave Kingdom to him?
Sure enough, he was like Søren, extremely emotional.
He really wasn't a qualified Nightmarish King, but he was a good family member.
Moreover, he wanted Søren and Jung Yeon to get married quickly, because he couldn't hold on for much longer. And when he passed away, then Jung Yeon would have to observe mourning for three years, and couldn't get married within these three years.
So, he wanted Søren and Jung Yeon to get married quickly, before he passed away!
"Okay, let's get married immediately." Søren said.
The Nightmarish King tried to smile again, and then slowly closed his eyes. He wanted to rest.
Next, his only task was to live as long as possible. If he could live for three days, then he would live for three days. If he could live for five days, then he would live for five days.
In short, he had to live until Søren and Jung Yeon's wedding ended, even if he couldn't attend this wedding.
"Husband, finish all the political affairs at night, and send a messenger hawk to Tianshui City. Tell my sister and Nair to prepare for the wedding. Tomorrow morning, we will return to Tianshui City on the griffin to get married." Jung Yeon said.
"Okay." Søren said.
Then, Søren squeezed the Nightmarish King's hand, and then kissed his thin forehead.
In this world, his father was Count Zoron.
But before he became Søren, Count Zoron had already passed away.
So in Søren's heart, the Nightmarish King played the role of a father. He and Yan Yan were both fathers-in-law, but between him and Yan Yan, there was a lot of trust, but also a lot of estrangement.
Between him and the Nightmarish King, there was a lot of trust, but also a lot of affection and intimacy.
… …
After leaving the Purple Jade Palace, in the garden.
Søren and Princess Jung Yeon walked quietly in the night, hand in hand. Zhuang Zhixuan followed a few meters behind them.
"Yan, have you really thought it through?" Søren said, "If you are willing, you don't have to marry me. I will spend five years to restore the Raging Wave Kingdom to prosperity and build the Southern Punitive Camp. Then, I will retreat unscathed, and you will personally take charge of the kingdom's politics. If you feel that I don't have enough power, you can make me the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the First Marshal of the Supreme Command. "
Søren's attitude was serious!
After all, he was the Master of Eros, the World Destroyer Demon Emperor, although no one knew this secret.
But … he didn't want to involve the Raging Wave Kingdom, especially the Raging Wave Kingdom.
"No, don't even think about it." Jung Yeon stopped and stood in front of Søren. Her starry eyes looked at Søren and said, "Husband, I can't, I'm only interested in cultivation. If you let me take charge, I will make a mess of the kingdom in a month. And you have slept with me at least a few hundred times, you have to be responsible for me. "
Søren smiled and said, "It's you who slept with me a few hundred times, right?"
Princess Jung Yeon said seriously, "Fine, then I will be responsible for you. We will get married tomorrow, and for the next month, I will be fucked by you every day. "
Fucked by you, fucked by you! There was a difference between the two!
"Fine, it's a deal," Søren said.
"It's a deal," Princess Jung Yeon stretched out her little finger and made a promise with Søren.
… …
Back in the Cabinet, Søren saw the two people he hadn't seen for a long time kneeling there.
"This old servant greets His Highness," Gui Xingfu kowtowed repeatedly and said in a choked voice.
Yan Wuzhi was not so shameless. He kowtowed respectfully and said, "Your subject Yan Wuzhi greets Your Highness."
"You are finally here," Søren said.
At this time, the members of the Cabinet of the Raging Wave Kingdom were all present. The Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Duke Linting.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Hei Mu, the Minister of War, Bebhutto, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Zhimu, the Minister of Construction, Zhu Renjie.
Besides Hei Mu, the other three Cabinet members and Zhi Li had also cheated, and they had embezzled a lot of money.
However, especially Zhang Zhimu and Zhu Renjie, Søren must be replaced in the future.
Of course, their lives could still be preserved, because at least they did not collude too deeply with the Yinyuan Association. On the key issue of betrayal, the two of them still had some control.
As for the Minister of Criminal Law, he had embezzled more than 200,000 gold coins, and he had more than a dozen beautiful concubines on the Hidden Island.
On the list of confiscation on the first day, the Minister of Criminal Law ranked first.
"Gui Xingfu, the Minister of Criminal Law is temporarily vacant, you will be in charge for a period of time," Søren said, "Remember, Yin Dou is an old minister in the Ministry of Criminal Law, you have to learn from him."
Gui Xingfu suddenly trembled with excitement, and immediately knelt down and said, "This old servant obeys, Your Highness Prince Regent's great kindness."
Seeing his attitude, Duke Linting frowned, but let him be.
Gui Xingfu kept saying that he was the Prince Regent, and his meaning was very clear. In this Cabinet, he was Søren's man, not Jung Yeon's.
Linting despised and disdained his attitude.
In terms of closeness to Søren, I, Linting, far surpassed you, Gui Xingfu. In Søren's eyes, I am family, and you, Gui Xingfu, are just a dog. You are really a villain.
"Yan Wuzhi, from now on, you will temporarily be the Governor of Fengdu, and also join the Cabinet," Søren said, "Tomorrow morning, the decree will be immediately issued."
Yan Wuzhi knelt down and kowtowed, "Your subject thanks Your Highness Prince Regent for his great kindness."
His attitude was normal, he wanted to put the King in front of Søren, even if it was Søren who promoted him.
But at this moment, no words could express the excitement in Yan Wuzhi's heart, and his gratitude to Søren.
From the position of the Southeast Province's Chief of Censorate, he was promoted two ranks, became the Governor of Fengdu, and entered the Cabinet.
Yan Wuzhi, who previously could not see any hope, finally reached the peak of the civil officials, and became a cabinet minister.
However, Yan Wuzhi secretly vowed in his heart, this was just the beginning, his next goal was to fight for the position of Prime Minister.
"Duke Søren, I will let you see, I, Yan Wuzhi, am a fine steed."
Søren looked at the Minister of Rites, Hei Mu, and said, "Sir Hei Mu, from today on, you will be the Deputy Minister of the Cabinet. Tomorrow, Duke Linting will go to Tianshui City to attend my wedding, and for the next two or three days, you will be in charge of the Cabinet. "
Hei Mu trembled, he could hardly believe his ears.
Deputy Minister of the Cabinet?
He had really longed for this position all his life.
He was already old, and he knew that there was no hope for the position of Prime Minister. His only thought was to retire as the Deputy Prime Minister.
However, he knew that he did not have much hope, Søren was not satisfied with his performance. During the years when Zhi Li was in power, although he did not conspire with him, he was too wise to protect himself.
At this time, Søren suddenly promoted him to Deputy Minister, making his lifelong wish come true. Suddenly, he was so excited that he burst into tears, knelt, and said, "This old minister thanks Your Majesty's heavenly grace, thank the Regent Duke for his great kindness."
"Alright, your decrees will be issued tomorrow," Søren said, "For the next three days, the political affairs of the Raging Wave Kingdom will be handed over to you."
"This minister obeys!"
The Cabinet members present knelt and kowtowed in unison.
…
Inside the Yanjing Temple!
Fu Lingxi was about to be burned at the stake, and the rescue did not appear at the last minute.
Following the order of the priest, the torch directly ignited the pile of dry wood under Fu Lingxi!
"Boom!"
The raging flame suddenly ignited.
The terrible flame instantly engulfed Fu Lingxi's whole body.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …"
The elegant and beautiful Fu Lingxi, at this time, let out an unprecedented mournful scream!
The endless pain caused his screams to sound incomparably mournful!
"Ah … Ah!"
Then, a strange scene appeared!
