After the funeral, the guests from all over the world who came to express their condolences are about to leave.
Among the guests who came to express their condolences, the one with the highest status was Lilith, the queen of the neighboring Kingdom of Fabia.
Ten years ago, Queen Lilith had just succeeded to the throne. She was still a young girl with no skills. The Kingdom of Fabia was in trouble both internally and externally. It was only thanks to Stephen's help that she could secure her throne.
For this reason, after learning that Stephen died unexpectedly, Lilith rushed to the Kingdom of Leon to pay her respects as soon as possible, and cried very sadly in front of Stephen's portrait.
Now, after the funeral is over, it's time for her to return to her home country.
However, when all the guests left one after another, Queen Lilith did not leave immediately. Instead, she excused herself because she felt unwell and needed to stay one more day.
No one knows that she is doing it for Yingxue.
The last time Queen Lilith saw Yingxue, he was just a young boy, but she didn't expect that after a few years, that weak and pitiful boy would have grown into such a handsome and outstanding figure.
I just arrived at the Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Leon the day before yesterday, and the moment I saw Yingxue, Queen Lilith couldn't take her eyes away.
Ten years of being a queen is enough to turn a simple little princess into a capable female monarch. She owns the rich Fabia Kingdom and can easily get whatever she wants.
When she saw Yingxue for the first time, an idea came to her mind uncontrollably: She wanted to get this boy!
Just like her back then, Yingxue had a timid personality, and her father's sudden death from illness must have made him frightened. As long as she used a little coercion and inducement, it would not be difficult to succeed.
For this reason, Queen Lilith couldn't wait to find Yingxue the day after the funeral.
Yingxue is cutting a bouquet of roses in the garden... The rose bush is specially cared for by the gardener. The flowers bloom all year round and are very beautiful.
He picked out a few that were still in bud, cut them off, and prepared to send them to the queen's palace.
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.
"Your Highness Yingxue."
Yingxue turned around and saw Queen Lilith in full dress walking towards him, with a gentle and concerned look on her face.
"Poor Your Highness Yingxue, you will be alone in the future, how will you settle down?"
Queen Lilith walked to Yingxue, looking worried for him.
Yingxue nodded lightly, did not answer, turned around and prepared to leave directly, and then heard Queen Lilith speak again.
"Your Highness Yingxue, you don't think you can successfully ascend to the throne, do you?"
Yingxue paused, and Queen Lilith's eyes flashed with pride and success. She pretended to be worried and walked up to him: "Even I know that His Majesty Stephen originally chose Viscount Snow as his heir, and there must be someone behind Snow who supports him...
…Your Highness, I think maybe you need my help.”
Yingxue finally raised her eyes, looked at Queen Lilith quietly, and asked softly: "Help?"
"Yes, I will help you, help you ascend the throne, and secure the throne!"
Queen Lilith curled her lips: "And you just need to give some love..."
As she spoke, she gently hooked her fingers on the buttons of Yingxue's clothes, and rubbed her fingertips in ambiguous circles on his chest.
The next moment, Yingxue looked at the charming Queen Lilith and slowly uttered one word: "Get out."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved away the woman's hand that was circling on his chest, his eyes full of disgust.
Glancing coldly at Queen Lilith, Yingxue turned around without looking back.
Behind her, Queen Lilith's face instantly turned cold, but then she smiled again.
Reject her?
It doesn't matter……
Such a little prince moved her heart even more.
In this palace, which was full of chaos and unrest due to the sudden death of the king, it was too easy for her to do something.
Yingxue sent the roses to the queen's palace, but it wasn't until he saw Queen Ivy that he suppressed the bloody murderous intention surging in his heart.
On the way here, he tried his best to suppress the urge to kill Queen Lilith.
Disgusting woman!
Sheng Nuan didn't know what happened to Yingxue. His face had always been a little pale and cold, and he looked depressed and indifferent. What's more, he had just lost his father.
It's natural to feel uncomfortable.
After leaving Yingxue to have dinner with her, Sheng Nuan asked someone to send him out. She ate for a while and then went to take a shower to prepare for bed early.
Although she didn't have many feelings about the unexpected death of Emperor Stephen, the funeral after several days was indeed tiring, and she needed a good sleep.
Sheng Nuan was taken care of by the maid and took a bath. After that, she climbed onto the bed and didn't want to move. On the other side, Yingxue's situation was not quite right.
Not long after he drank the milk sent by his servant, he noticed something was wrong. He was sweating all over his body, and he felt unexplainable... He guessed something almost immediately.
With a cold murderous intention welling up in his heart, he gritted his teeth and climbed out of the dormitory through the window and staggered out of the residence.
At this time, the only one who dared to drug him was Queen Lilith... If she asked someone to drug him, she would definitely come to him!
That disgusting woman!
Yingxue subconsciously walked to Queen Ivy's palace, wanting to ask her for help... In the huge palace, the only person he wanted to trust was Ivy.
But when he walked through the empty palace, something suddenly occurred to him. After hesitating for a moment, he entered the palace directly.
It would be better if he could not find Ivy... He didn't want her to see him in this miserable state.
In the palace, the mirror stood there quietly. When Yingxue staggered closer, a gentle and ethereal sound came from the mirror.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
Yingxue slumped down on the sofa next to her, took a few breaths, and said hoarsely: "I have been drugged, help me solve the predicament at hand."
I don’t know what kind of medicine that disgusting woman gave him, but it’s so powerful!
He could barely maintain his sanity...
Hearing his words, a faint halo appeared on the mirror, and then the voice of the Mirror God sounded: "It is an honor to be able to help you, Your Highness."
The next moment, Yingxue saw that the glowing mirror seemed to have turned into a door. On the other side of the door, he vaguely saw a woman lying on the bed.
Thick hair, milky skin...
But then he suddenly woke up: "No, I don't want it!"
He doesn't want to do that kind of thing casually with an unknown woman, no.
But then, the picture in the mirror began to become clearer...and then Yingxue froze there.
He saw that the beautiful woman lying on the bed in the mirror was actually the sleeping Queen Ivy.
Yingxue's Adam's apple twitched, and her last sanity was at stake: "I, I can't..."
He was clearly aware of his almost uncontrollable desire, but his remaining reason told him that he shouldn't be like this.
Their relationship... What's more, she is the only one who will protect him, take care of him, and wait for him...
The voice of the Mirror God sounded faintly: "Your Highness, this is just an illusion. You know, this is not the queen's palace."
Yingxue suddenly froze.
Just an illusion...
His chest heaved violently, his Adam's apple rolled, and his last sanity seemed to fall apart because of the word "illusion."
He stood up, slowly, little by little, and walked into the mirror...
