Chapter 698: The Song Dynasty is attacking?
The autumn rain was falling in Kyoto. The originally solemn and dignified imperial city appeared a bit chaotic and desolate in the wind and rain.

The palace maids, eunuchs and guards were also in a panic. The Third Prince, who had the final say in Yelang, was kidnapped by criminals.

The most important thing is that the criminal did not run away, but instead brought the third prince to the palace and ran towards His Majesty's bedroom. It is really hard to understand.

But what they knew was that at this moment, someone had to be found to take charge of the situation.

Although the queen's status was noble and she was also the general's sister, the Yelang royal family had ancestral teachings that prohibited women from interfering in politics. Therefore, although the queen's status was noble, she had no power in the court.

They can only go to San Gong.

Go find the Prime Minister.

But some of them had a ulterior motive, which was to invite the prince to come and take charge of the situation.

Once something happens between the Third Prince and His Majesty in the palace, the prince who comes to the palace may be able to steal a big peach.

Although the Queen of Yelang was a female member of the family, she had a keen political sense. She felt that since the criminals had abducted the Third Prince into the palace and entered the emperor's bedroom, something big must have happened, and there might even be a change of situation.

Although she does not have military power, her brother does.

Although he is leading troops outside and not in the capital, her brother's men are also in the capital camp.

So, she would never allow this to happen, and she quickly sent people out of the palace.

Chen Mo didn't care about what happened outside the emperor's bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, the eunuchs had just fed medicine to the current Yelang Emperor Xing Luo early in the morning, so Xing Luo was lying on the bed, in a coma.

The arrival of the unexpected guest did not wake him up.

Nalan Yiren walked forward to check the situation.

Princess Deyi came to the dragon bed and saw the skinny and pale princess lying on the bed. She couldn't help but sigh. The last time she came to visit with her mother, Xingluo's condition was not so bad, but now, such a short time has passed, and his condition is as if he has one foot in the coffin.

At the same time, she became worried. How could His Majesty be okay in this state?

If it doesn't get better.

So does he really want to agree to the Third Prince?
Princess Deyi looked at Chen Mo's stern profile and clenched her jade hands a little.

"Yiren, how is it?" Chen Mo said.

"The Heartbreak Flower, the Aphasia Grass, and the Forget-Me-Not were indeed created by that beast." Nalan Nalan Yiren felt Xing Luo's pulse, flipped his eyelids, pierced Xing Luo's skin with a silver needle, observed his blood, and came to the conclusion, saying, "The poison has spread throughout the body."

Princess Deyi's heart skipped a beat.

Xing Yin was slightly relieved. On the way into the palace, he learned from Chen Mo that the masked woman in black was also from the Poison King Valley.

This made him fear that his father's poison would be cured, and now that he heard that the poison was spreading throughout his body, there probably wasn't anything he could do.

"Can it be solved?" Chen Mo asked.

"It can be solved, but it's a bit troublesome and it won't be solved in one day." Nalan Yiren stood up and turned to look at Chen Mo. After her revenge, she no longer wore the veil and still put on the half-face mask. She said, "Are you sure you want to save him?"

Chen Mo nodded slightly.

The third prince's expression changed slightly and he moved closer to the dragon bed.

Nalan Yiren immediately came to the rescue. She first took out the medicine bottle from her arms, took out a pill, then cut her finger, dripped a drop of blood on the pill, and put it into Xingluo's mouth.

Then she took out three silver needles and pierced three important blood spots on Xing Luo's body. She said, "Fortunately, the poison did not fill his heart meridian. The person who poisoned him did not want him to die immediately. This poison is also a chronic poison. Even if it is not cured, he should be able to live for another half a year."

"It seems that you still have some filial piety." Chen Mo smiled at Xing Yin, but his words sounded yin-yang.

Xing Yin's face darkened.

The reason why he didn't let Tang Yichen poison Xing Luo directly was because he wanted to seize power.

After all, the prince was still fine at that time. If Xingluo died, the power would not fall into his hands.

However, after he successfully took power, he let Xing Luo live because he was too soft-hearted. After all, he was his biological father. In addition, Xing Luo could not threaten him at this time, and his mother was also pleading for him, so he let Xing Luo go and let him wait for death.

But he didn't expect that something like this would happen today.

After waiting for half a minute, Nalan Yiren bled Xingluo again.

At this time, the blood flowing out of Xingluo was actually black.

When the flowing blood began to turn red, Nalan Yiren stopped Xingluo's bleeding and stood up again: "It's working, let's wait for him to wake up."

Upon hearing this, Princess Deyi looked delighted.

Xing Yin was in an inexplicable panic, and kept making conditions to Chen Mo: "King Wei, he is an old stubborn man, he will not agree to your request. So, if you agree to my request, Yelang will not only pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year, but also take out 30% of the national taxes and give them to you, King Wei."

"Xingyin, you..." Princess Deyi was shocked by his shamelessness. He actually sold out his country to such an extent.

"Third Prince, don't be anxious." Seeing this, Chen Mo shook his head.

"Forty percent." The third prince gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing that Chen Mo was still unmoved, the Third Prince hardened his heart, raised his hand, and spread out his five fingers: "Fifty percent."

Chen Mo thought he was crazy.

Let’s not talk about whether he can actually do what he promised.

If this were achieved, there would be unrest throughout Yelang.

Because half of the taxes had been paid out, the remaining half was not enough to sustain the operation of the entire Yelang country. Therefore, Xing Yin could only exploit the people, thus triggering a rebellion.

Even if Xing Yin suppressed the rebellion by force, Yelang's current "prosperity" would no longer exist.

By then, half of the taxes might be less than one-tenth of the first time, or even one percent.

What Chen Mo wants is a long-lasting source, not to drain the pond of fish.

The rain outside the window rustled. Chen Mo didn't have to wait too long. In less than a quarter of an hour, he heard the surprised voice of Princess Deyi:

"Your Majesty, you are awake."

Chen Mo looked up and saw Xing Luo, whose face was sallow, regaining some redness. His fingers began to tremble and he slowly opened his eyes. Because Princess Deyi was right next to him, she was the first person he saw. Perhaps because he had been in a daze for too long, he did not recognize her at first. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Deyi?"

This opening surprised even himself.

Instead of the usual "woohoo" sound, he could speak.

Upon hearing this, Princess Deyi was also very happy.

Ever since Xingluo suddenly fell ill, every time she went to the palace with her mother to visit Xingluo, he could not speak.

Now that he can speak, doesn't that mean Xingluo's illness has been cured? Princess Deyi breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, her mother's revenge could finally be avenged. She couldn't help but look back, wanting to see Xingyin's panicked expression at this time, but suddenly saw that he was about to attack Nalan Yiren.

"Be careful." Princess Deyi warned in a startled voice.

The next second, she was stunned because it was Xing Yin who fell to the ground.

It turned out that when Xing Yin saw Xing Luo waking up, he felt that he was about to die and planned to fight to the death, because Princess Deyi was beside the dragon bed, some distance away from him.

Whether the attack is against Xingluo or Princess Deyi, Chen Mo will definitely stop it in time.

Then Nalan Yi stepped back and stood beside him.

He didn't know Nalan Yiren's specific strength, but she was a woman. Although her voice sounded a little strange, it was not that loud, so he guessed that the other party's strength should not be strong and planned to hold her hostage.

But he didn't expect that he would be discovered by the other party before he even touched him. He only felt that he was stabbed by something, and then his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

The venomous bee flew in front of Nalan Yiren, flapping its wings as if asking for credit.

This sudden scene naturally attracted Xing Luo's attention. When he saw Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren standing in the bedroom, he was confused. He wanted to ask, but when he saw Xing Yin lying on the ground, he was originally confused, but surprisingly angry: "Rebellious son."

As he said this, he actually climbed up. Although he soon lay down again due to his weak body, it was enough to show how angry he was.

He knew clearly that he had fallen to this state because of this rebellious son.

Not only that, this rebellious son actually told him in front of him about his affair with the Queen and the accidental killing of Princess Yanyang.

He was lucky that he didn't die of anger at that time.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down." Princess Deyi was also afraid that he would be angry to death.

Xing Luo was a princess of a country after all. He glanced at the bedroom. Considering that Xing Yin had fallen to the ground and there was no minister in the bedroom, and looking at these two strangers, he guessed that something major must have happened.

He looked at Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren, a little puzzled: "Deyi, who are they?"

Princess Deyi looked back and said truthfully, "He is the King of Wei of the Song Dynasty. Next to him is the Saint of the Poison Valley of Baiyue. It was she who cured your Majesty. Your Majesty was poisoned by a traitor in the Poison Valley. That traitor was also the Third Prince's master. The two of them colluded with each other."

Princess Deyi didn't know that Xingluo already knew about her illness and it was Xingyin who did it.

In order to kill herself, she made it clear.

Chen Mo walked up to him, bowed briefly, and said, "Your Majesty Yelang, I am honored to meet you."

"King Wei of the Song Dynasty?"

Xing Luo frowned. During the years he was sick in bed, he didn't know what was happening outside. Xing Yin didn't tell him either, but he knew about the Song Dynasty. He subconsciously asked, "The Song Dynasty is attacking?"

After all, the appearance of a prince of a country in his own bedroom had to make Xingluo believe that the Song Dynasty had sent troops to Yelang and reached the capital.

Chen Mo stood beside the dragon bed, his expression not arrogant, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't panic. This king came to your country this time just to help a friend deal with a matter. It's just that while doing business, your Majesty's third prince and I had some unpleasantness."

Xing Luo's eyelids twitched. Being allowed to enter the palace and come in front of him seemed to be quite unpleasant.

What surprised him even more was that he was not leading troops to attack.

Then how did the other party enter the palace, and give Xing Yin to...

This unknown made him panic.

"Then what's the important matter that made the King of Wei come to the palace this time and ask this saint girl to save me?" Xing Luo said calmly.

Chen Mo tilted his head and looked at Princess Deyi: "Princess, you should tell His Majesty."

To me, it's too direct.

After saying this, he and Nalan Yiren retreated to the outer hall.

As the emperor's bedroom, it is divided into inside and outside areas.

Xing Luo glared at Xing Yin on the ground, then sighed and said, "De Yi, tell me what happened recently."

"Yes." Princess Deyi spoke slowly. She didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. She emphasized the crimes committed by Xing Yin and did not even hide what happened last night.

"Beast." Xing Luo started coughing in anger.

After a while, he calmed down and said, "Who is this King Wei of Song?"

"This is a long story and cannot be explained in just a few words. Your Majesty only needs to know that he is now the regent of the Song Dynasty. He has the final say in the entire Song Dynasty. He has an army of over 300,000 and many top-grade warriors under his command. He himself is also a top-grade warrior." Princess Deyi said.

"hiss"

Xing Luo couldn't help but take a breath and said, "It seems that I have been ill for a long time."

His influence on the Song Dynasty remained during the time when Xu Guozhong was in power.

"The Song Dynasty is a great country after all. It can even train such a young upper third-grade warrior." Xing Luo's tone was full of emotion, and then he said: "Deyi, tell me why he came to the palace."

"promise."

Princess Deyi nodded and said, "Because of the Third Prince's teacher Tang Yichen's matter and the Lin family's matter, they offended the King of Wei. In order to compensate the King of Wei, the Third Prince promised him that Yelang would become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and give me to the King of Wei as a concubine and slave."

After hesitating for a while, Princess Deyi finally said the last point.

Because she wasn't sure whether the other party cared about this.

But no matter whether she cared or not, Princess Deyi knew that she could no longer stay in Yelang.

She told what happened last night and found out about the scandal between the Queen and the Third Prince, so it would more or less leave a grudge in Xing Luo's heart.

Besides, Xing Yin was Xing Luo's biological son after all, and her words were life-threatening. If she had stayed in Yelang, she might have died unclearly one day.

Finally, now that her mother and father were both gone, there was nothing left in Yelang worth her staying for.

Therefore, no matter whether Chen Mo wants her or not, she will leave Yelang after avenging her mother.

"Rebellious son, cough cough." Xing Luo coughed again in anger, and then said: "In other words, if I don't agree to him, he will agree to that rebellious son?"

Princess Deyi nodded.

Hearing this, Xing Luo closed his eyes. His current situation was extremely sad.

Although Yelang suffered a defeat at the hands of the Song Dynasty sixty years ago, it was still a hegemon in the Western Regions. But now it has to be someone else's younger brother, which is somewhat aggrieved.

After some consideration, he opened his eyes, raised his hand, sighed and said, "Forget it, Deyi, just ask him to come over."

"Yes." Princess Deyi knew that His Majesty agreed.
