Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 697: :
In the early morning, the autumn rain is hazy.

Compared with the bright and spacious wing rooms, the woodshed in the corner of the yard was cramped, dim and deserted, with only the faint sound of a man's "woohoo" being heard.

In the woodshed, the almost naked third prince of Yelang, Xing Yin, was tied up with ropes that bound his innate spiritual energy and thrown into a corner. The way he was tied made it impossible for him to sit up, so he could only lean against the wall. A rag was stuffed in his mouth, and he was staring with panic, confusion, and anger as he tried to break free from the ropes.

After being knocked unconscious by a mysterious man last night, he found himself tied up here when he woke up again. The dim environment around him made it impossible for him to determine where he was. The only thing he was sure of was that this was definitely not his home.

The reason why he was panicking was that the person who kidnapped him was definitely stronger than him. This feeling made him return to the time when his life was not in his own hands and he was filled with fear.

What confused him was that he still had no idea why this mysterious man kidnapped him. Apart from his master, he was sure that he had not offended such a powerful being.

At this moment, Xing Yin's heart tightened because he heard footsteps outside approaching him.

"Crunch."

Soon, the door of the woodshed was opened. The sudden brightness made him subconsciously turn his head to avoid it. After he got used to the light, he looked towards the door and saw two figures, a man and a woman.

"Deyi?"

When he recognized the woman, he was not afraid at first. He had been in a high position for a long time and was domineering. Facing someone he could easily control in the past, he showed contemptuous anger, but with his mouth covered, he could only make a whimpering sound.

However, facing Xing Yin's anger, Princess Deyi was even angrier than him. She walked over and kicked him, knocking him to the ground, and then kicked the source of evil.

The sound of eggs breaking was heard, and the severe pain made Xing Yin faint from the pain.

Chen Mo, who was standing by, saw this scene and subconsciously clamped his legs together.

This kick was so fierce that it killed Xingyin directly.

Princess Deyi was not completely satisfied and was ready to kill Xingyin.

But Chen Mo stopped him and said, "I haven't asked any questions yet."

Chen Mo took a bucket of water and poured it on Xing Yin to wake him up, then stepped forward and removed the rag that was stuffed in Xing Yin's mouth.

"Cough cough." Xingyin coughed violently, and then he gasped in pain. However, because of the pain, he understood the current situation and had to lower his posture: "Deyi, what do you want to do?"

"Kill you." Princess Deyi said concisely.

"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to survive. My people must be looking for me all over the city. If I die and you're still alive, they will definitely think of you, hiss..." As he spoke, Xing Yin gasped in pain. He lowered his head and saw blood all over. He couldn't help cursing again: "Bitch, what did you do to make me..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, he saw Princess Deyi rushing forward again, and he was so scared that he swallowed the rest of his words back.

Xing Yin glanced at the young man next to De Yi and guessed that his kidnapping might be related to him, so his life and death should be decided by him.

The fact that I am still alive means that I am useful to him.

It has to be said that in the desperate situation of life and death, Xing Yin's mind was particularly clear.

He looked at Chen Mo: "Who are you? Did you bring me here? What do you want to do?"

Asked several times in succession.

"Chen Mo, it's me. It's not clear at the moment." Chen Mo responded one by one.

"Chen Mo?" Xing Yin's face was pale, with veins popping out on his forehead from the pain. He was somewhat familiar with the name, as if he had heard it somewhere before. After thinking for a while, he was shocked: "Chen Mo, the King of Wei in the Great Song Dynasty?"

Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Xing Yin said in panic: "It turned out that it was the King of Wei of the Song Dynasty who came in person. I don't know how I have offended the King of Wei to have you tie me up and bring me here."

After learning the other party's identity, Xing Yin was indeed frightened. That was not someone he, and even the Yelang Kingdom, could afford to offend. He did not dare to offend them.

"Tang Yichen, the third prince should know him." Chen Mo said.

Hearing this, Xing Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded, shook his head, and nodded again.

"Since we know each other, it's easy to explain. Yesterday, your people said that he was your master, and your master colluded with you. Yesterday in the underground palace, he tried to murder my friend, and my friend almost died." Chen Mo said.

Xing Yin's face changed. He almost died, which meant he didn't die. Since the person he was going to ambush didn't die, then the people he arranged and his master would probably not have a good end.

At this moment, he understood why Chen Mo wanted to tie him up.

He began to quibble.

It is said that Tang Yichen is indeed his master, and he did send people to set up an ambush in the valley outside the city, but he did not know that the person he was going to ambush was Chen Mo's friend.

As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. If this is the case, he can apologize to Chen Mo and give compensation. The specific compensation will be decided by Chen Mo.

It can be said that his attitude is extremely correct, but in fact, he is really unclear.

In order to distance himself from Tang Yichen, he said that he was forced.

To prove that he was indeed forced.

He said that he was poisoned by Tang Yichen and was threatened with the antidote, which he would only give him once a year in exchange for doing things for him.

The war with Louwo was also instigated by Tang Yichen, because Tang Yichen needed enough people to practice his poison skills.

Including what happened yesterday, it was Tang Yichen who forced him to do it.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's expression froze. No wonder he saw so many corpses in the underground palace and the valley yesterday, and the blood in the pool. Si Song confirmed that it was human blood.

"Did you also kill your father?" At this moment, Princess Deyi suddenly interrupted and angrily scolded Xing Yin.

Just as Xing Yin was about to deny it, Princess Deyi stated her suspicions one by one.

Xing Yin suddenly felt guilty and simply ignored Princess Deyi. He said to Chen Mo, "Prince Wei, her affairs don't seem to be related to this matter."

"There is indeed no connection." Chen Mo said.

Princess Deyi clenched her fists in annoyance, but did not dare to face Chen Mo.

Xing Yin heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart was still in a knot as Chen Mo started talking about the Lin family in Jincheng again.

He also said that Lin Xuelan was his woman.

Xing Yin broke out in a cold sweat and smiled bitterly, "I don't know the relationship between the Lin family and you, the King of Wei. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to do it even if you gave me ten guts. And I also believed Diao Hong's slander. It was Diao Hong who wanted to kill the Lin family."

As he said this, he quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, King Wei. When I return, I will definitely order the release of Lin Kong and pardon the Lin family's crimes. I will also execute Diao Hong and confiscate all of Diao's property. All of their property will be given to you, King Wei."

Princess Deyi, who was originally angry, felt an inexplicable change in her heart as she listened. The Third Prince Xingyin, who had the power to control everything in Yelang, suddenly became servile after learning about Chen Mo's identity.

With such great strength, even if you are beaten by him, you still have to say that he fought well and cannot say anything bad about him.

If I had such strength, or such a backer, would this beast dare to target my mother?

Then maybe my mother wouldn't have died.

Thinking of this, Princess Deyi wanted to kill Xingyin even more.

Chen Mo laughed when he heard it.

If it really happened as he said, he would be the victim instead.

Chen Mo said: "Were you really forced? Rather than being forced, it is more like you two colluded and cooperated with each other. Otherwise, you would not have reached this point today.

The Yelang Emperor and the Crown Prince suddenly fell ill. Is it really just an illness? It should be Tang Yichen who helped you. "Xing Yin lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if he agreed.

Although Princess Deyi had already guessed that it was Xing Yin who did it, she still took a breath at this moment.

His Majesty and the Crown Prince are his biological father and elder brother.

It is said that there is no family affection among royal family members, but they are not so cold-blooded.

"King Wei, what do you plan to do to make me let go?" Maybe because he had lost too much blood, Xing Yin gradually felt a little weak. Looking at Chen Mo's calm eyes, Xing Yin gritted his teeth and said:

"King of Wei, you are not going to make the decision for Deyi, are you? She is just a powerless princess, and she certainly can't give you anything. If you like her, I can make the decision for my father and give her to King of Wei as a concubine and slave. Not only that, I can also promise you that from now on, the Song Dynasty will be the suzerain of Yelang, and it will pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year."

"You are shameless." Princess Deyi was infuriated by the words of the third prince. As the third prince of Yelang, he actually pledged allegiance to the Song Dynasty. What's the difference between this and treason? Is he worthy of being the prince of Yelang?

At the same time, Princess Deyi became nervous because what Xingyin said was too tempting. If he really agreed, then...

Princess Deyi's delicate body suddenly began to tremble. In desperation, she rushed towards Xing Yin, wanting to kill Xing Yin before Chen Mo could react.

But he was restrained by Chen Mo.

"You really have to agree to him." Princess Deyi's voice trembled.

"What he said is indeed very tempting. I have no reason not to agree." Chen Mo said.

Princess Deyi's face turned pale. Yes, Chen Mo was also a politician. In the face of such huge interests, what Xing Yin did to the Lin family and his friends seemed not worth mentioning.

Xing Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he thought the matter was over.

Chen Mo suddenly said: "But the Third Prince is not the monarch of Yelang, why should I believe you?"

"Although I am not the monarch of Yelang, I have the final say in the entire Yelang."

"It is true that you have the final say now, but didn't you also say that you were poisoned by Tang Yichen, and the cure is once a year? Now that Tang Yichen is dead, won't you follow him next year?"

"No, that won't happen. I have already asked someone to research the antidote he gave me. I am sure that the antidote will be developed before the poison breaks out next year. And I heard that he came from the Poison King Valley of Baiyue. I can go to the Poison King Valley. The Poison King Valley is sure to have my antidote."

"This is too troublesome. Whatever you can give, your father can also give. What he says is truly counted. How about this, I will go to Beijing to find your father. If he does not agree to your request, I will come to you again, okay?" Chen Mo said playfully.

Originally, Chen Mo hadn't thought about it in this direction.

After hearing what Xing Yin said, he could definitely gain a huge benefit from the Yelang royal family.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty is currently short of money.

"The emperor is seriously ill and can't speak. He can't agree to you at all. Only I can." The third prince said hurriedly.

Chen Mo smiled slightly: "How can we know if we don't try? Don't worry, if your father really can't do it, I will find you."

Xing Yin's face turned pale instantly.

Chen Mo looked at Princess Deyi who was still in a daze beside him, and said, "Princess, let's go to the palace."

At this time, Nalan Yiren also woke up.

It’s just right to take her into the palace.

Before entering the palace, Chen Mo let Xing Yin go, found a piece of clothing for him to wear.

That’s right, if you want to enter the palace smoothly, you have to bring Xing Yin with you.

……

Xing Yin was indeed right. All the officers and soldiers in the city are looking for him.

It was the order given by the Queen of Yelang.

After the Queen of Yelang woke up, she learned that Xing Yin might have been taken away. After some thought, she ordered people to look for him.

Although Xing Yin's beastly behavior made her extremely angry, she even wanted to commit suicide or kill him for a period of time.

But after thinking it through, she could only live in misery.

After all, it is your own child.

I was born from my belly after ten months of pregnancy.

She will depend on him for the rest of her life.

Otherwise, knowing that it was Xingyin's conspiracy against Princess Deyi last night, she still did it reluctantly.

When Xing Yin appeared and the people below told her the news, she first breathed a sigh of relief and asked what happened.

When I learned that Xing Yin was being held hostage and was heading towards the palace.

The Queen of Yelang was instinctively stunned, and immediately ordered them not to act rashly and not to hurt Xing Yin.

It was not until later that we learned that they were going to see His Majesty.

The Queen of Yelang had a bad feeling in her heart.

Immediately issue an order that no one is allowed to approach His Majesty's bedroom, and anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy.

When the people below reminded her that the Third Prince was in the hands of the other party and Princess Deyi was also there, Queen Yelang became ruthless and said that the Third Prince was no exception.

Compared to Xingyin, Queen Yelang was more afraid that the dirty deeds between her and Xingyin would be known to His Majesty.

Although the Queen of Yelang gave the order.

But her orders were actually useless.

Now Xing Yin is in power in Yelang. When the palace guards saw Xing Yin being held hostage and told them to get out of the way, they had no choice but to do so.

In the end, the Queen of Yelang could only take nearly a hundred guards who were absolutely loyal to her in an attempt to stop the rebellion, but it was completely useless.

Chen Mo, Nalan Yiren, Princess Deyi, and the abducted Xing Yin, entered the emperor's bedroom very smoothly.

The reason why Xing Yin asked the palace guards to go aside was that he did not fight to the death.

He is the one who is gambling.

Chen Mo was betting that his father was poisoned by something and there was no way he could cure it.

Then, we can only rely on him.

……

The Yelang Palace was in chaos.

The imperial guards in golden armor filled the courtyard outside the emperor's bedroom, but no one dared to step forward. In the wind and rain, the rain fell on the armor and the spears in their hands, bringing a touch of coldness.
