Xuan Ningxuan held Murong Jingshu's body and walked slowly in the dark night.
There was no sound of people on the empty path, only the sound of the howling wind.
The scene of getting along with Murong Jingshu flashed through his mind. Xuan Ningxuan did not regret knowing Murong Jingshu. If it were not for Murong Jingshu, he would not have known Murong Jingwan.
He didn't regret falling in love with Murong Jingwan at all. The only regret was that there were too many misunderstandings and too many obstacles between the two.
Unknowingly, Xuan Ningxuan had walked to Murong Jingshu's bedroom. When the palace maid saw Xuan Ningxuan, she immediately knelt down and called out respectfully: "Your Majesty."
Xuan Ningxuan came back to his senses, walked slowly into Murong Jingshu's bedroom, snorted coldly and said, "Send me the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Li Shan."
"My slave, I obey." After saying this, the little palace maid turned around and ran out quickly.
Xuan Ningxuan carefully placed Murong Jingshu on the bed, staring at Murong Jingshu's pale face, Xuan Ningxuan couldn't help but choked up and said: "Jingshu, forgive me for leaving the child to Jingwan to take care of, but I
I believe Jingwan will take good care of the child." Xuan Ningxuan slowly sat on the bed and looked at Murong Jingshu with a sad expression. Tears blurred his eyes, making him unable to see Murong Jingshu's face clearly.
Murong Jingshu could no longer hear Xuan Ningxuan's voice. If she had known what would happen today, maybe she would not have entered the palace.
"Jingshu, don't hate Jingwan. This is all my fault. If you want revenge, come to me. I am willing to bear all the mistakes." Xuan Ningxuan said word for word.
As if the sleeping Murong Jingshu could no longer answer Xuan Ningxuan, Xuan Ningxuan continued: "Jingshu, you and I only have three days left to get along. I will accompany you well during these three days. I owe you.
After all, I can’t repay you, but I promise you that I will find the murderer behind the scenes for you.”
The only voice in the desolate palace was Xuan Ningxuan, which added a bit of sadness to the silent palace.
"Your Majesty." A serious voice broke the silence in the palace.
"Come in." Xuan Ningxuan's voice still couldn't hide the sadness.
Li Shan lowered his head and walked in, but never dared to look at Xuan Ningxuan. It was all because of his dereliction of duty that three concubines died in succession within a few days.
"My subordinates are not doing well in their affairs. Please punish me, Your Majesty." Li Shan knelt on the ground and said seriously.
"If I punish you, they won't wake up. I order you to post an imperial notice in the capital tomorrow to announce to the world my dethronement." Xuan Ningxuan said word for word. He did not believe that Xuan Ningyi could calm down.
Angry, Murong Jingwan is nowhere to be seen.
"Your Majesty, this matter is full of doubts. Although all the unfavorable evidence points to the Queen, my subordinates believe that the Queen has nothing to do with this matter." Li Shan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xuan Ningxuan.
Xuan Ningxuan slowly turned his head, his eyes were sinister, and he snorted coldly: "Li Shan, she is no longer the queen. Why are you still here? Why don't you go and take care of this matter."
"I obey my orders." Li Shan did not dare to make any more excuses. He only hoped that Xuan Ningxuan could handle the matter properly.
"Jingwan, I have no choice but to announce this matter to the world. I hope you can understand everything I have done one day." Xuan Ningxuan's eyes drifted into the distance, and the sadness could not be concealed in his dark eyes.

Xuan Ningyi lived a life almost like a beetle at the bottom of the cliff. Although the life was very comfortable, Xuan Ningyi was still worried about Murong Jingwan.
I wonder if Murong Jingwan is living well in the palace? Is Xuan Ningxuan treating her well? Questions like this linger in his mind every day, but Xuan Ningyi doesn't have the courage to confirm it.
A slight sound from outside the door interrupted Xuan Ningyi's thoughts.
Xuan Ningyi slowly opened the door, only to see Wuchen walking towards him holding something similar to an imperial list in his hand.
Xuan Ningyi turned sideways and let Wuchen walk into the hut.
Wuchen placed the items in his hands on Xuan Ningyi's table and motioned with his eyes to Xuan Ningyi to check the contents himself.
Xuan Ningyi glanced at Wuchen suspiciously and quickly opened the imperial list. After just a few glances, Xuan Ningyi's face became increasingly ugly.
"I went to the market this morning and found this, and I brought it back with me." Wuchen said expressionlessly.
Xuan Ningyi's hand holding the imperial list couldn't help but tremble. He always thought that Murong Jingwan was living a good life, but he didn't expect that Xuan Ningxuan would depose her as queen.
Is it because of him? Did Xuan Ningxuan find out that they had met?
Xuan Ningyi put the imperial list on the table, turned around and walked out eagerly, but was stopped by Wuchen.
"It's broad daylight now. If you try to break into the palace, you'll be dead." Wuchen said calmly, his right hand on the table seemed to be trembling with excitement.
Xuan Ningyi walked back to the hut in frustration, sat down next to Wuchen, and said painfully: "What should I do?"
Wuchen did not respond immediately to Xuan Ningxuan. The black veil covered all his expressions. After a long time, he said: "You are also a prince. You are willing to live in seclusion here for the rest of your life."
Xuan Ningyi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly: "I just want to take Wan'er out of the palace now."
"According to rumors, the current queen is suspected of poisoning three of the emperor's concubines, and her accomplice is the fourth prince who is on the run. Now there are wanted notices for you everywhere in the capital." Wuchen said word by word, hiding behind the veil.
Her lower eyes were fixed on Xuan Ningyi, observing every detail of his expression.
"Really? He is ready to kill everyone. Doesn't he understand Wan'er? If Wan'er wants to kill someone, why would she do it now? Xuan Ningxuan must have offended someone, which will lead to revenge." Xuan Ningyi said bitterly.
, I regretted some of my stupid thoughts in the past.
Wuchen's expression hidden in the veil changed drastically, but he pretended to be calm and asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Tonight, I will break into the palace. Three concubines have just died in the palace, so the defense must be lax." Xuan Ningyi said word by word, showing no defense against Wuchen.
"How did you know that the queen was imprisoned in the palace and not in a prison?" Wuchen's eyes showed appreciation. He already knew that Murong Jingwan was trapped in the palace by Xuan Ningxuan, but he did not tell Xuan Ningyi.
Xuan Ningyi frowned and said: "Although Xuan Ningxuan is ruthless, Wan'er is pregnant with the dragon seed now. Even if he is ruthless to Wan'er, he will not hurt the prince."
"Need my help?" Wuchen suggested kindly.
Xuan Ningyi glanced at Wuchen gratefully, then shook his head and said: "Going to the palace is extremely dangerous, and I don't want you to be dragged down by me."
Wuchen quickly stood up and said calmly: "You have a good rest, I'll leave first. I wish you success."
Xuan Ningyi nodded and watched Wuchen leave, but he didn't know that he had fallen into a trap.
