Chapter 1775 The Crown (5)
"Hang on." Yun Lintian regained his senses and attempted to utilize his power, but it was in vain.
Yun Yi took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "I don't know why... you look familiar to me... Please tell His Highness... Cough!"
As he spoke halfway through, Yun Yi coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his breath visibly weakened.
Yun Lintian anxiously tried to grab Yun Yi. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything here, no matter how hard he tried.
Yun Yi smiled and slowly closed his eyes. His entire body stopped moving, announcing his departure.
"Damn it!" Yun Lintian cursed himself for being useless.
He didn't understand why he had appeared in this place and why he had to watch all of this.
Yun Lintian knelt beside Yun Yi's lifeless body for an unknown period. At that moment, a group of people arrived at the scene, jolting him out of his trance.
Yun Lintian raised his head and saw a group of soldiers from the Chu and Liang Kingdoms. Among them was a man dressed in a brocade robe, which made it unlikely for him to be a soldier.
"Everything went well, Eunuch Gao." A middle-aged man, who appeared to be a general, spoke.
The man in the brocade robe, Eunuch Gao, walked over to Yun Yi and smiled. "If you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself for choosing the wrong master, General Yun."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply. He felt disgusted by looking at this person. Without a doubt, he was Yun Xing's lackey.
"Cut off his head and bring it back to the palace." Eunuch Gao waved his hand at a nearby soldier.
"How dare you!?" Yun Lintian was immediately furious.
Eunuch Gao and everyone were startled for a second. They quickly raised their guard and looked around vigilantly.
"Who are you!? Show yourself!" Eunuch Gao shouted loudly as he quickly retreated.
Yun Lintian jumped up and rushed towards Eunuch Gao. He slammed his fist at the latter but missed the target.
"F*ck!" Yun Lintian cursed angrily. He wished that he could kill all of these people here.
The general signaled his troops to spread out, searching for the voice's owner. However, they couldn't find anything in the end.
Seeing this, Eunuch Gao swallowed nervously and said. "Just bring his body back. No need to cut off his head."
Yun Lintian could only watch as these people took away the remains of Yun Yi, Zhu Ning, and Zhao Long.
Suddenly, time seemed to stand still. Before Yun Lintian could react, the scenery around him changed immediately.
At this moment, Yun Lintian found himself standing inside a small courtyard. There was a pavilion and a fish pond in a garden behind the yard.
What surprised Yun Lintian the most was the sight of a young man sitting inside the pavilion. This person's appearance was incredibly handsome. And while he appeared frail, his body emanated an extraordinary aura that seemed out of place in the mortal realm.
"Not good, Prince! Something bad happened!" An urgent female voice suddenly resounded, capturing Yun Lintian's attention.
When Yun Lintian turned around, his expression froze immediately. It was because a woman who hurried over had a striking resemblance to Long Qingxuan, except that she appeared several years younger.
The young man placed his teacup on the table and gazed at the woman. "Calm down, Xuan'er."
The woman, Qing Xuan, slowed down and entered the pavilion. Her face was filled with anxiety and sorrow as she spoke. "Big Brother Yun Yi and the others..."
She couldn't finish her sentence as she broke into tears halfway.
The young man fell silent immediately.
Yun Lintian immediately recognized the young man's identity. This must be the second prince.
The second prince refilled his cup and raised it, gazing at the sky. "Farewell, brothers."
He drank the cup empty and placed it on the table.
"Prince, you and the princess should leave now." Qing Xuan wiped away the tears and said solemnly. "I'll buy some time for both of you."
The second prince looked at her and shook his head. "I'm not leaving."
"But..." Qing Xuan became anxious.
"I have promised my Royal Father and Royal Mother to protect the Yun Dynasty. I will never run away, even if it costs my life." The second prince said calmly.
Qing Xuan bit her lip and lowered her head. Tears flowed once more. She knew it was only a matter of time before something happened to her prince.
Now, no one could protect the second prince any longer. With Yun Xing's pettiness, it was impossible for him to let him go.
"You have to take away the princess. Leave this country and head north. I have prepared everything there. Both of you can live comfortably for the rest of your lives there." The second prince continued speaking.
"No! I won't leave." Qing Xuan said stubbornly.
"Yes. We won't leave." At this moment, a beautiful woman entered the garden.
Yun Lintian looked at her and was taken aback by her breathtaking beauty. Out of all the women he had seen so far, this person was definitely the best.
"Xi'er…" The second prince looked at the beautiful woman with guilt.
"I, Yao Xi, am not the type of person who leaves my husband behind and runs away alone." The beautiful woman said.
"Yao Xi?" Yun Lintian was stunned. "Yun Yi... Xuan'er... Yao Xi... Are they...?"
Yun Lintian looked at the three people with a frown. Although he had never seen Goddess Yao Xi before, he wouldn't be surprised if she had the same appearance as the princess in front of him.
"Then... who is this second prince?" Yun Lintian took a close look at the second prince.
Yao Xi sat down beside the second prince and said. "I have already sent my family away."
"You…" The second prince sighed helplessly. "You shouldn't stay here."
"Husband..." Before Yao Xi could say anything, a group of people suddenly walked into the courtyard.
The person in the front was none other than Eunuch Gao.
"His Highness the Second Prince. Please receive the edict." Eunuch Gao shouted loudly.
Qing Xuan's expression changed dramatically. "Prince, princess. You should run now."
The second prince ignored her and walked towards Eunuch Gao, with Yao Xie following closely.
Eunuch Gao looked at the two with a smile and opened a golden scroll. "His Majesty has ordered His Highness the Second Prince and the Second Princess to attend the meeting tomorrow morning."
"Understood." The second prince and Yao Xi replied in unison…
