C20 Wan dynasty coup d'état(1)

"If you must stand in that seat, all right!" Xuan Hong looked at the clouds, his gaze dark and unreadable, but his gaze firm and resolute. "As long as you wish for it, I will always stand behind you!"

She looked at Xuanhong, and her voice was filled with uncertainty, "This is dancing with wolves, and you should also know how many people are thinking about that seat, that it requires countless blood and countless lives to be piled up!"

Xuan Su chuckled lightly. "When I was in the mountains, I had already decided to kill you. If you weren't afraid of the blood and the slaughter, then what would I fear?"

Yun Duan abruptly stood up, her eyes looking at the tightly shut door of the hall. Her hands subconsciously tightened as she said, "I don't want to drag you in!"

She was destined to walk a road of no return. She did not want to involve any innocent people who were unrelated to her.

"It's already in the scheme of things. Why not say something that doesn't involve it?"

Yun Duan let out a soft sigh. That was true, even Xuan Hong did not have this intention in the fight for the throne, but that did not mean that the entire mountain did not have this intention.

As the wind blew, the thick stench of blood still lingered in the air. Yun Duan stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the guards and maids who were still cleaning the place. Her eyes turned slightly cold.

"Mistress, it's late. Let's rest first!"

Qin Ni put the cloak in her hands over Yun Duan's shoulders, her voice full of concern.

"Do I have to wait until daybreak to completely clean it up?"

Qin Ni glanced at it, her eyebrows drooping slightly: "Another two hours should be enough!"

"There's no news from the Sunset Emperor's side?"

"Have you forgotten that I only came an hour ago?"

Is that so?

Yun Duan laughed softly. 'Forget it, I clearly know that this will be the result …' There was no need for her to continue wishing for anything more. After more than three hundred years and having a bad blood lineage, his hatred had indeed pierced one's heart.'

Her father was long gone, never to return.

The Night Pearls in the room were so bright that they hurt her eyes. She flipped them one by one towards each box, and the light disappeared.

The night was very deep, and her heart was still beating so fast that it didn't return to its normal path. Just thinking about the masked man coming to her palace was enough to make her feel as if her entire body was being wrapped up by a poisonous snake.

She had no choice but to walk out of the room. Qin Ni and Qiong Ying were both sleeping in the cubicle outside. She stood by the window. Moonlight shone in from outside, shining onto her body. It was quiet and cold.

She had already gotten used to that kind of environment. But now, in the vast and desolate Myriad Temple, she felt that she was inexplicably unfamiliar and lonely.

A faint sound came from behind him. No, it was an aura.

From the looks of it, even though Yun Duan had lost her Spiritual Energy and cultivation, her senses were exceptionally sensitive.

She slowly turned around and stared unblinkingly at the shadow guard kneeling in front of her. Under the moonlight, her entire body was ice-cold, but Yun Duan was smiling.

"What, excuse me?"

The guards did not say anything, not a single word. That was right, this was how dark hygiene worked. Silence, ruthlessness, there was only one master in a lifetime. If the master died, then he would not be able to live either.

It was a great way to protect his loyalty.

"Were you not there when the masked man came?"

Just as Yun Duan finished speaking, the shadow guard lowered his head even more, looking like he was begging for punishment.

"You have to know, we are one. If I die, you won't be able to live!"

Yun Duan sat back on her stool. The night tea was already cold, so she poured herself a cup and took a sip. She looked at the dark guard's straight back as he knelt.

He could also be considered an expert. Only a few people could be considered capable enough to fight against the masked man.

It seemed like she had to thank this Crown Prince Chong.

"In the future, I will definitely protect this life carefully. As for you, you must also be careful. Do you understand?"

The guard nodded.

Yun Duan waved her hands, "Forget it, let's go down!"

On the second day, the wind was gentle and the sun was bright. Yun Duan woke up early, but she did not seem to want to wake up. Her black eyes stared at the vase in the room, and her consciousness flew off to who knows where.

"Sixth Prince, why are you here so early?"

"Cough, cough …"

"Sixth Prince, the master hasn't woken up yet. There's wind outside, come in and sit. I'll go get the master!"

"My sister, cough cough … Are you alright?"

Hearing the constant coughing sounds, Yun Duan straightened her body and flipped over from the bed. She wore only a white inner garment as she walked out, her hair still disheveled.

When he walked in, he saw the disheveled Yun Duan's clothes. His ears were slightly red and his eyes were red.

Yun Duan curled her lips and laughed, "What, are you still shy?"

It wasn't like she wasn't wearing anything.

Hearing Yun Duan's words, Lu Sheng looked back at him and said helplessly, "Sis, I'm a man after all. You can't be seen by others in the future if you don't have a comb on your face!"

His elder sister was so good-looking, and there were many people coveting her, so he hoped that she would find someone who truly treated her well.

Yun Duan smiled and sat down, "Only you can see what sister looks like!"

"Big Sis, what happened last night?" A worried look appeared in his eyes as he looked up and down at the clouds.

Because of his illness, the palace had never informed him of anything. If it wasn't for the ruckus that occurred last night, he would have known nothing at all.

Thinking of the masked man last night, Yun Duan still felt a chill in her heart.

She pursed her lips and smiled warmly. "It's nothing. I was just unsatisfied when someone saw Sister returning to the palace!"

"What kind of person is this, to actually have the ability to enter the palace in such a quiet manner? It's a good thing that you are fine, otherwise, what would we do?"

Yun Duan took the handkerchief that Qin Ni handed over and wiped her face, then she looked over at Qiong Ying and instructed her, "Have the kitchen prepare a bowl of soup, don't put down those random things, just make up for it. Prepare two more bowls of noodles, one for meat, one for meat, hurry up!"

"Yes sir!"

After washing his mouth, Yun Duan patted Lu Sheng's shoulder. "You only need to rest and rest. Don't worry about anything else!"

The shop owner smiled bitterly. He wouldn't be able to worry about it even if he had to.

Yun Yang went into the inner room and changed his clothes. His hair was tied up casually, and there was not a single bit of makeup on his clean face. She sat in front of Qin Nei and brought a piece of dessert to his mouth.

The journey was more or less unnatural. After all these years of being free, no one dared to do anything to him.

Yun Duan looked at her younger brother's flickering eyes and tried to urge him, "Open your mouth!" She laughed.

"It's delicious!" After swallowing all the snacks, he opened his mouth and said with bright eyes, "Delicious!"

Normally, the medicine was bitter in his mouth, but today, the dessert was sweet.

Yun Duan pushed a cup of hot tea to him. "Do you feel better today?"

The journey was filled with laughter. Both good and bad things had happened. Being able to travel for so long, how good could it be?

He looked at the teacup in front of him and softly said, "Sister, father is old. If I die one day, all his hopes will be placed on you. I know you hate him, but you can't hate this world!"

Yun Duan bit down on her dessert, her expression calm. "It's good that I hate him. What does it have to do with this world?"

Qiong Ying and her servant brought the food over and placed it on the table before retreating to the side.

Yun Duan placed the bowl of ginseng soup in front of Lu. She lowered her head and took a whiff, but there wasn't any strange smell. "Drink a few mouthfuls, it doesn't have any medicinal smell!"

She knew that she must be tired of all sorts of drugs during her travels. That was true. Who wouldn't hate a thing like that after drinking it for a long time?

Yun Duan then placed the bowl of plain noodles in front of him and slowly began to eat with the bowl of meat in her hands.

At noon, Yun Duan stood on the palace gate while Xuan Hong's jade chariot was not far away.

"Don't worry, I will protect myself!"

Xuan Hong narrowed his black eyes and stared at the calm face of Yun Duan. There were rarely any other expressions on the woman's face. The most common expression was that of calmness.

He didn't like her at all.

"What's wrong?" Yun Duan saw that Xuan Hong did not say anything for a long time and was puzzled. Why was he staring at her like that? Or did he not want to go back?

"I will come back after dealing with the Mountain Gods!"

Yun Duan was stunned. Return?

This was not his home. Even if he went back, it would be to return to the divine mountains. She didn't really understand what that man meant.

"You have to be careful every step of the way in this Myriad Empire Palace. Right now, Emperor Chen's body isn't too bad. At least he can hold on for a bit longer. You must not let your guard down!"

Yun Duan blinked and nodded, "I know. You can rest assured!"

The two of them weren't too far away, and they weren't speaking very loudly, so no one could hear the third person, Xuan Hong was taking a step closer to the cloud, this kind of distance was too much for Yun Duan to adapt, she had to retreat herself, but Xuan Yun had already placed a hand on her shoulder, it wasn't much force, but it was enough for her to not be able to push him away.

Yun Duan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Xuan Hong actually wanted to hug Yun Duan, but he knew that she wouldn't agree, so he didn't force her.

"Wait for my return!"

These words caused Yun Duan to be even more puzzled. This place was not his divine mountain. Just what did this person mean?

To be honest, Yun Duan didn't like this kind of Xuan Hei. It was too deep and she couldn't see through it.

Xuan Hong didn't want her to understand either. He slightly touched the earlobe of the cloud with his big hand, then turned around and flew into the Jade Carriage. Soon, he disappeared into the vast sky.

However, she felt that if she wanted to sit at a high position, her divine bone would have to be reassembled. Although it was a bit painful, she still couldn't face this huge country with her ordinary body. The dark guards were weak after all, and if the masked men appeared again and the dark guards couldn't deal with them, then she would inevitably die.
