The emperor died, Prime Minister Su Cheng read out the edict, without suspense, succeeded by the crown prince Qin Tianze, and chose an auspicious day to ascend the throne a month later.

The content of the edict also mentioned that the second prince was named King An, and the fief Nanhuai was instructed, and he was instructed to do his best for the new emperor in the future, and after his death, he would protect the peace of Daqin.

And because the follow-up affairs of Huazhou and Nanhuai and other places were not completed, Wei Qiancheng was specially appointed as the general of Zhenyuan, so that he was not allowed to worry about Ding and assist the new emperor.

The ministers have been waiting to hear what King Ning will do, and in the hearts of everyone, they all think that he must be beheaded.

But until Prime Minister Su Cheng handed over the edict to Qin Tianze, he didn't mention it.

Everyone wondered, did the secret path plan to let King Ning assist the new emperor, so he didn't do it? It can't be, right?

After that, Qin Tianze stepped forward step by step, sat on the dragon chair, and after everyone knelt down, they also dispersed to prepare for the national funeral.

Su Yunqi still kept it, he took out a letter from his arms, and said, "Your Majesty read it slowly, and the minister will also retreat first."

Cheng Dong took it on his behalf and handed it to Qin Tianze.

After Su Yunqi left, Lin Yanzhi asked with concern, "Your ...... Oh no, Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Qin Tianze walked down from the dragon chair, sat on the steps, beckoned to her, and when she walked to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.

Lin Yanzhi looked at the top of his head steadily, raised his hand and said, "If you want to cry, cry."

Qin Tianze's body stiffened for a moment, and his wrapped hands tightened again.

It took a long time for him to let go of her.

After Qin Tianze took a deep breath, he pulled Lin Yanzhi and sat together, he opened the letter, but after reading it, his slightly red eyes were full of disapproval.

Seeing this, Lin Yanzhi asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with this letter?"

Qin Tianze handed the letter to her directly, put his hands on his forehead, and sighed reluctantly.

Lin Yanzhi also frowned tightly as she read it: "No wonder I didn't hear about King Ning just now, it turned out that I wanted to cut off his limbs, throw him away to guard the tomb, and spend his whole life, which is ......better than directly executing him."

She glanced at Qin Tianze, swallowed the unspoken words into her stomach, and said, "The First Emperor is really ...... to Lord Huo Persistent, never forget, but, Miss Yunying is not her after all, why do you want her to accompany her on Huangquan Road, and directly put people into the coffin and bury them together?!"

"How cruel, Yanzhi, I...... I can't believe it's my father."

Lin Yanzhi held his hand and patted him lightly, "Your Majesty, how will you deal with these two things?"

Qin Tianze shook his head helplessly: "Yan Zhi, if my father is alive, I will do my best to dissuade him, but ...... If I don't do it, I will disobey the emperor and be disloyal and unfilial."

Lin Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, the first emperor must have known that with your temperament, he couldn't do such a thing, so he would write another letter and explain it privately, so that Your Majesty you have a choice, otherwise, just now, Prime Minister Su Cheng would have read it out in front of everyone."

When she said this, Qin Tianze was thoughtful.

She then looked at the second page: "Your Majesty, I don't understand this, why did the first emperor take Gonggong Zhuo to the penal service, and then throw him out of the city after two hundred punishments? Moreover, what is written here is not like the one that was dealt with King Ning just now, and it is deliberately said that there is no room for error."

"Yan Zhi, do you think that if the matter between Huo Xueyao and her father back then was really as much as Uncle Huang said, then how did Uncle Huang know?"

Lin Yanzhi's eyes widened: "Is it Gonggong Zhuo? But why did he say it to King Ning?"

Qin Tianze shook his head again: "This is also something I don't understand, maybe he has any friendship with Huo Xueyao, or maybe he can't bear to let Uncle Huang not even know how his beloved left, and be kept in the dark for a lifetime."

When he got up, he couldn't help but hold down his chest and snorted, Lin Yanzhi and Cheng Dong hurriedly supported him, and at the same time called out worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just pulling the wound, let's go, there's a lot to deal with next."

On the day after the first emperor was buried, the news of King Ning's death came out.

In the carriage, Lin Yanzhi looked at King Ning all the way.

"Little girl, did Your Majesty have an order for you to keep an eye on me?" King Ning quipped.

Lin Yanzhi said, "Your Majesty only asked me to send you out of the city."

"And what do you see?"

Lin Yanzhi gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for you, my master would definitely be throwing you out of the city with me at this moment, instead of watching from the sky."

King Ning paused, pursed his lips and said, "Little girl...... I'm sorry, but if I could do it all over again, this king would make the same decision."

Lin Yanzhi snorted: "Now in this Great Qin, there is only one prince, and that is King An. Mr. Qin, you are just a teacher, how dare you call yourself a king?"

Hearing this, King Ning couldn't help laughing, and then looked at her fixedly: "Little girl, you could have asked Your Majesty to follow the will of the first emperor and dispose of me, or, kill me now to avenge your master, but you didn't, it shows that you are a kind-hearted person, this ...... Master, I hope you will be safe in the future."

"I will be safe, but Mr. Qin, even if His Majesty says that you are indeed dead, as long as someone has a heart, they will definitely recognize you, so you will hide like a rat in this life."

King Ning only smiled silently, and Yu Guang saw that Yun Ying's eyes had a look of longing for the future, and closed his eyes silently.

When they arrived outside the city, King Ning spoke again, "Little girl, can you trouble you and give me another ride?"

Lin Yanzhi thought, forget it, it's just a carriage, and I don't know when they have to go to find a place to stay, so she nodded.

Under King Ning's guidance, the carriage continued to drive, but the more it went, the more Lin Yanzhi felt that something was wrong.

"Mr. Qin, are you going to live the rest of your life in the mountains?"

King Ning smiled lightly, "Yes, that's fine."

Yun Ying raised his head suddenly, looked at him in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "If the prince wants to live in the mountains, you can go to Yun Ying's former home."

King Ning didn't seem to hear it, and it wasn't until he reached the place that he said, "The place where I belong has arrived, you can go back too, and when you go back, be yourself." He turned to Lin Yanzhi and said, "Thank you, little girl."

Lin Yanzhi looked at his back striding away suspiciously, and asked Yunying, "What about you?" He told you to go back, so where are you going? I'll send you there."

Yunying gritted her teeth and did not answer Lin Yanzhi, but followed her out of the carriage with a sad face.

Because of the curiosity in her heart, Lin Yanzhi thought that she had come here, and she would also go to see how they planned to live in the future.

The two of them followed behind King Ning and walked together for a long time before stopping.

What caught my eye was a tomb.

On the stele is Huo Xueyao's name.

Yunying choked up and said, "Lord Wang, don't be obsessed, okay? Since Your Majesty is gracious and lets you and me go, then go back with me, go back to the valley, I will plant medicinal herbs, you look at the calligraphy and paintings, we will live some ordinary days, isn't it? Why do you have to be like this?"

"If it weren't for attachment, I would have passed away a long time ago, and I did all this from beginning to end, just to avenge her and bring her back to me." King Ning touched the name on the stone tablet, "Now, the feud is gone, this is the only thing left, since I can't take her away, then I'll stay by her side."

He turned his head to look at Yunying, "You advised me not to be attached, but what about you? Go back, and you will be able to find your lover and live the life you want with you."

He smiled at her, turned around, grabbed a stone chip from the ground, and cut it with force, and in an instant, a bean-sized bead of blood appeared on his fingertips, and after he raised his hand and added his name to the tablet, he took the stone chip and wanted to cut it to his neck.

Yun Ying couldn't let go of her attachment in the end, she quickly pounced, grabbed his hand and said, "Do you know that your time is short, so you will make such a decision, I don't care, I have waited so long, even if it is only a year and a half, it is enough, no...... No! You will be well, as long as you go back to the valley with me, and my father will save you, and he will heal you!"

King Ning snapped her fingers and said with a cold face, "No, and there is no need." He took her hand away completely, firmly

Looking at the tomb, "This is what my heart desires."

Then, without waiting for Yunying to pounce again, he quickly cut his neck, and before he collapsed completely, he reached out again, touched the three words of Huo Xueyao engraved on the stone tablet for the last time, tried his best, hooked the corners of his mouth, and after saying a few words with a smile, he closed his eyes.

Yun Ying looked at it and grabbed the corner of his clothes with sorrow: "Qin Jinning...... Don't you go...... Come back, please, look at me......

In this situation, Lin Yanzhi on the side looked at it, and for a while, she couldn't speak, just watched Yunying begging over and over again for the person who could no longer respond to her.

After a long time, she exhaled, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, walked over, patted Yunying stiffly on the shoulder, and said, "Miss Yunying, listen to me, since you love him, can you do what he wanted in life?"

Yun Ying looked at his bloodless face, nodded and shook his head.

Then she suddenly stood up, and went to the back, and with her hands she scooped up the earth.

The sadness in Lin Yanzhi's heart was immediately completely dissipated with fright, she grabbed Yunying and stopped her, "Miss Yunying, I know that you are sad in your heart, but this is also his insistence, why do you want to anger Lord Huo, since she has been buried in the ground, you will inevitably lack virtue if you do this!"

With tears on her face, Yunying laughed, "Lord Lin, you misunderstood, since he wants to sleep here for a long time and stay by her side, then I'll ...... and I will fulfill him."

After speaking, she shook off Lin Yanzhi's hand and continued to dig the soil.

Lin Yanzhi understood now, it turned out that she wanted to bury King Ning and Lord Huo together, thought about it, and said secretly in her heart: Lord Huo, don't blame, we just want you to be together.

Then, she gritted her teeth, patted her chest, and then ran to find two logs, one for Yunying, and said, "I'm here to help, too."

Digging and digging, Lin Yanzhi had another question in her heart: strange, how can this ...... Like it was turned over?

I couldn't help but get goosebumps, shook my head, and continued to dig.

After a long while, the two of them finally dug up, and together they carried King Ning in, and then piled the earth back.

After doing this, Yunying's tears flowed out, she looked at the stone tablet blankly, looked at the names of the two people on it, and muttered, "Huo Xueyao, have you been waiting for him too?" In the end, you waited, he treated you so deeply, you have to treat him well, in the next life, be with him well, otherwise, I will definitely appear between the two of you and take him away."

Lin Yanzhi waited for a while, and saw that she seemed to be relieved, so she asked, "You...... But to what valley are you going to go back to? I'll wait for you in the car, and when you're ready, I'll take you there."

Yunying shook her head, looked at her and said, "You don't have to wait for me, now, I don't want to go anywhere, just let me stay here alone for a while."

She suddenly looked different, pursed her lips, and then said again, "Your Excellency...... Or don't go back to the palace."
