"Haha... So what can we do? It's still like this..."

Xia Lingyue rubbed her forehead, her tired face showing a touch of sadness.

"I don't know why, but I always have a premonition in my heart that King Lin will come back. He will definitely come back to you, come back to us, and become the King Lin he was before."

At this time, Yin Xin's voice was brisk and her expression was full of expectation.

"What's the use of coming back?"

Xia Lingyue rubbed her forehead, her face darkened, and her tired face looked a bit sharper.

"But, it's a princess! King Lin is your husband after all! There's no way he won't come back forever! I don't want to see you angry. I hope you won't be secretly sulking."

Xia Lingyue walked for a few steps with a solemn expression, then turned around and looked at the lake in the distance.

"That's fine......"

"Um?……………"

Yin Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the winding corridor in the distance, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"...Master, look at that man over there, isn't he King Lin?"

When Xia Lingyue heard the word Lin Wang, she followed Yin Xin's eyes and looked out.

"Princess, look quickly! Isn't the man in the woods over there King Lin?"

After Yin Xin blurted out, she frowned again in confusion.

"Why is King Lin here? Are you about to go home?"

She looked carefully at the forest in the distance and frowned even more.

"that…………"

Xia Lingyue thought she had made a mistake and rubbed her eyes again.

"Huh?...Princess! King Lin seems to be talking and laughing with someone! Look at him smiling quite happily..."

Yin Xin's words confirmed her doubts.

"But you can't see who the other person is?"

She turned sideways and looked at King Lin carefully, but she couldn't see clearly who the other person who was talking to King Lin was.

"Yeah...the branches next to it are really annoying. They actually blocked people's sight at the critical moment."

Yin Xin pouted and thought about it unhappily, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she immediately smiled.

"How about... how about I go check it out, my slave?"

She turned her head and asked Xia Lingyue, but Xia Lingyue didn't answer for a while.

"Princess! Don't hesitate any more! If you hesitate any longer, you'll leave soon!"

Yin Xin tried to persuade her for a while, and Xia Lingyue thought about it and nodded.

"Princess! Don't go too far. I will come back as soon as you go."

As soon as Yin Xin finished speaking, she walked out of the pavilion and ran towards King Lin.

"Master, please be careful when walking, the road ahead is a bit sloping."

Hearing the voice of a woman speaking behind him, Xia Lingyue immediately turned around and looked over.

"Master, look! There are mandarin ducks over there!"

I saw that the person who told me was a little maid. She was walking behind a thin woman and kept talking to remind her.

"What kind of duck are you? Are you in a bad mood if you don't see me?"

The slender woman muttered and frowned angrily.

"oh…………"

When the little maid next to her saw her master speaking like this, her expression instantly became much more lonely.

"Mandarin ducks are so good-looking! What I hate the most is looking at mandarin ducks. Next time if you are so ignorant and don't want to look at me, look at me..."

While she was cursing and talking, she was about to vent her anger to the maid behind her. Unexpectedly, when she raised her eyes, she met Xia Lingyue's eyes in the pavilion beside the corridor.

"......Isn't this Liangdi?"

Xia Lingyue saw her eyes flickering and her expression erratic, wondering if she would be too cautious when she saw him, so she took the initiative to stop her.

"Oh...Hello sister!"

Seeing that Xia Lingyue in front of her was quite easy-going, Lingxi relaxed her restraint slightly.

"Oh my! What a coincidence today! Seeing that my sister is so slender and her gait is a little loose, is she not in good health recently?"

Lingxi saw that Xia Lingyue looked friendly and showed concern for her, and she couldn't help but gradually develop a good impression of her.

"Haha... No! It's just that I don't like to eat much lately, so I lost weight."

Xia Lingyue smiled secretly and thought: Explanation is tantamount to concealment. In fact, the more you refute, the more it proves that it is true.

"Why does sister have the leisure to watch the mandarin ducks here today?"

Liangdi said this and walked towards the pavilion.

"What kind of leisurely life are you talking about? It makes you angry, but I just want to be quiet here."

Xia Lingyue deliberately brought the topic to a sensitive area, and at the same time looked worriedly at Liang Di's gait, which was like a willow tree.

"Liangdi is born with lotuses every step of the way. She has such a good figure!"

While she was talking, Liang Di had already walked in front of him.

"A good figure is of no use, only a good position is!"

As Liang Di spoke, she sat down on the stone bench next to the stone table, and her solemn expression instantly relaxed a bit.

"Liangdi! You really don't understand the difficulties of having a good position!"

"The princess is right. How many people in the world can enjoy the benefits? Now I am discovering more and more that people with good status are always the best gifts in life."

Liang Di's eyes were dull, and her expression felt a little lonely for a moment.

"Having power does not necessarily mean having insight, and having a gift is not as good as having a destiny, so don't worry too much!"

Xia Lingyue sighed deeply as she spoke. In fact, her complexion may not be much better than Liang Di's.

"But what better way can I do? Who told me that I can't keep a man's heart? King Lin has been spending the night elsewhere these days. There is nothing you can do, so the power and status you think of is not the same.

It’s not omnipotent!”

After Liangdi heard this, she was suddenly stunned and thought to herself: Even the princess has fallen into the same pit as me.

"Oh... Is the princess also tired of love?"

Xia Lingyue nodded silently and sighed lightly.

"One kind of man has hundreds of different hearts! Life is very long, so don't define yourself casually!"

Liang Di finally felt a little more relaxed, and she began to look at Xia Lingyue with sympathetic eyes.

"Sister is very smart, so she won't be stumped by something like this, right?"

"Hahaha...Okay! Since you said that I lost, then I will make you pay for what you said! Just obey your orders!"

"The slave is here!"

At this time, the eunuch on the side bowed his head and replied.

"Tie this bastard to a tree and take off his cotton-padded clothes!"

"yes…………"

Amidst the howling cold wind, the eunuch on the side replied submissively.

As a result, King Lin was stripped of his cotton-padded clothes and tied to the sycamore tree behind the side hall of Qingcheng Hall. The howling cold wind blew by, and he neither dared to struggle nor resist.

King Lin, who was still in his prime, actually already understood the stakes in the palace.

"Remember this! You bastard who is about to die! From now on, the whole world will belong to me! How can you cherish your life? Let me talk about winning or losing, huh! You are not qualified enough. Today, I am the king.

I’ll teach you this ignorant thing a lesson that you can remember for the rest of your life!”

As he spoke, he waved to the eunuch next to him, and his thin back was pressed against the old bark of the tree trunk as he fell straight down. After he saw that he had hit the bottom, he was thrown hard again, and then the eunuch next to him pulled the rope hard.

He pulled hard back, just up and down, back and forth until his whole back was torn and bloody...

"stop!"

At this time, in the corridor of the side hall next to her, Xia Lingyue happened to be passing by and scolded her when she saw the injustice.

………………………………………………………………

"Oh! Master! How did you escape when the situation was so dangerous? King Ying can..."

Next to her, Yin Xin exclaimed, and then she deliberately lowered her voice.

"King Ying is not a good boy!"

Xia Lingyue smiled bitterly: "How else can we escape? It seems so ridiculous to not escape now..."

However, Yin Xin scratched his cheek, looking puzzled.

"Then how did you escape from the tiger's mouth?"

She put her hand on her chin, her eyes full of expectation...
