The amorous king

As dawn broke, the two on the bed finally separated, panting, ending their passionate lovemaking.
Afraid of being late for the morning court session, as he needed to return to Longyu Palace first, Shang Yanyao rose, dressed, and then, satisfied, lightly kissed the exhausted beauty's forehead.
Although Yu Mi was too tired to move, Shang Yanyao's kiss immediately made her tense. Using the last of her strength, she turned her back to him.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see me? Are you still angry with me?" Shang Yanyao gently stroked her smooth shoulders, whispering in her ear.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Since you don't trust Mi'er, you shouldn't have come to see me, and treated me like this." Yu Mi complained.
She didn't understand why the king, who didn't trust her and had cruelly banished her to the Cold Palace, would still come to see her.
"I...have needs!" Shang Yanyao truthfully stated his physical desires, concealing the longing and love he felt for her.
"Your Majesty, you're really ridiculous. You have so many concubines, why bother coming to the Cold Palace? Doesn't this damage your dignity?" Yu Mi said sarcastically, still with her back to Shang Yan Yao.
A complex mix of helplessness, grievance, and humiliation welled up inside her, causing her to weep.
"I don't like talking to people with their backs to me. Turn around!" Shang Yan Yao was enraged by her cold attitude. He sat back on the edge of the bed, roughly turning her over and forcing her to face him. Only then did he realize she was already a sobbing mess.
"You're crying? Why are you crying?" Shang Yan Yao looked at her sorrowful appearance, feeling a pang of heartache. He lifted her from the bed, held her in his arms, and wiped away the tears from her cheeks.
"Shh! Don't cry. I was wrong to misunderstand you. I shouldn't have doubted you." Shang Yan Yao held her small body tightly in his arms, gently comforting her.
"Your Majesty...you don't believe me, it makes me so sad, sob..." Hearing the king's words, Yu Mi cried even harder, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't cry, it breaks my heart!" Shang Yan Yao hugged her even tighter, pulling her into his strong chest. He couldn't ignore her pitiful look, her eyes brimming with tears.
"As you said, I have many concubines in my harem, but I only want you, I only love you." Shang Yan Yao spoke his true feelings with deep emotion.
He had never loved anyone before, but since having her, he understood the feeling of loving someone, and how blissful it was. And she was the woman he wanted to cherish and possess forever!
"Your Majesty...you...are you telling the truth?" Yu Mi looked up in astonishment at the king who was professing his love to her. She was stunned. Was the king telling the truth?
This majestic, handsome, and outstanding king, had he really fallen in love with her?
Seeing her staring blankly at him, Shang Yanyao couldn't help but smile gently, "Silly girl, of course it's true, I love you! And no matter what happens in the future, I will always believe you." "Your Majesty, you... Mi'er loves you too!" Yu Mi cried out joyfully, then reached out and hugged his strong chest tightly, "Your Majesty, before you didn't trust Mi'er and banished her to the Cold Palace, Mi'er thought Your Majesty... didn't want Mi'er anymore!" She sobbed again, but this time it was tears of joy; she truly loved His Majesty so much.
Shang Yanyao lifted her chin, gently lowered his head and kissed away the tears on her cheeks and eyes, his voice hoarse, "Silly girl, since I love you, how could I possibly not want you!" Shang Yanyao kissed her cheeks, forehead, eyes, nose, earlobes... kissing every part of her face, finally covering her rosy lips.
Two hearts deeply in love, a sweet harmony of souls, plunged them into a passionate, demanding kiss, their lips locked in a fierce and yearning embrace.
"Let's go!" Shang Yanyao said after the fervent kiss, still holding her.
"Go? Where does Your Majesty want Mi'er to go?" Yu Mi asked, puzzled.
However, no matter where the King wanted her to go, she couldn't go now; her legs were aching from the intense lovemaking, and she probably wouldn't be able to walk for a while.
"Come, back to Longyu Palace with me." He made an exception for her again, because he never allowed any concubine to stay in his own palace—Longyu Palace.
"Longyu Palace?" It seemed a bit far from the Cold Palace, so Yu Mi's face furrowed slightly.
"What, you don't want to go back to Longyu Palace with me?" Shang Yanyao raised an eyebrow, asking in confusion.
"No, Your Majesty, of course Mi'er is very willing to go back to Longyu Palace with Your Majesty, it's just..." Yu Mi swallowed awkwardly, unsure how to explain to the King.
"But what? Tell me quickly, are you going to make me angry again?" Shang Yanyao asked, feigning anger.
Yu Mi was startled, thinking the king was about to get angry again, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Mi'er is a little tired and wants to rest for a while. We'll go to Longyu Palace later, after it's fully light." She said tactfully, but her face was already flushed with embarrassment.
"I see. However, I don't expect you to walk back to Longyu Palace." A strange smile appeared on Shang Yanyao's handsome face.
"Then... how will Mi'er get there? By sedan chair? But it's so early in the morning, it's not even light yet. Are there any sedan chairs available?" Yu Mi asked innocently.
Her innocent question made Shang Yanyao laugh again, and he affectionately gave her a kiss. How could he not love such a lovely and innocent beauty!
"Of course there's no sedan chair; I'll carry you back myself!" He knew she didn't have the strength to walk to Longyu Palace, but he couldn't wait for her to rest before returning. He needed to see her immediately after court.
"Huh? Your Majesty wants to carry Mi'er?" Yu Mi looked at the king, who was laughing uncontrollably, in disbelief. "Now?" she asked, puzzled.
"Now, of course!" Shang Yanyao said, then pulled up the sheet beneath her, tightly wrapping her naked body in it.
"Your Majesty, you want Mi'er to come back to Longyu Palace like this? This won't do! It'll be so embarrassing if someone sees us!" Yu Mi protested loudly, her face flushed.
Being carried to Longyu Palace by the king was one thing, but being only covered by a sheet would be incredibly shameful.
"Don't hesitate and waste any more time. It's not fully light yet, and only a few people have seen it. Later, the whole palace might see it!" Shang Yanyao teased.
Hearing Shang Yanyao's forceful and domineering words, it seemed the King was serious.
"But... I'm like this...""Otherwise, Your Majesty, please untie the sheet from Mi'er's body and wrap her up again. This time, please wrap Mi'er's head and face in the sheet as well." Yu Mi said earnestly, her big eyes wide open.
"Ha..." Shang Yan Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty, I'm serious! Why are you... laughing at Mi'er like that!" Seeing the king's uncontrollable laughter, Yu Mi said, both angry and anxious.
Shang Yan Yao took a deep breath, calming his emotions from laughing, and then suddenly picked up the sweet little girl wrapped in the sheet, saying, "You have so many clever ideas in your little head! Come, bury your face in my arms, isn't that enough?" "But like this..." Yu Mi wanted to protest, but Shang Yan Yao lowered his head and kissed her, silencing her.
Shang Yan Yao kissed the shy little girl in his arms until they left the room, only then leaving her lips.
And so, under the ambiguous gazes of Chunhong, Xialu, and Shangyan Yao's entourage, Yumi carried her back to Longyu Palace.
*******************
The King said he would let her stay in Longyu Palace, and he truly did, forbidding her from mentioning returning to Yuning Palace.
Since the King had carried her out of the Cold Palace, his affection for her had surpassed anything before in the past ten days, making her very happy.
However, in this luxurious Longyu Palace, she could see palace maids and eunuchs everywhere—at least a hundred—which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. With so many palace servants, she always felt like she was being watched.
Although the King treated her very well and doted on her, and would even take her outside the city to introduce her to the vast territory of Wuyan Kingdom whenever he had free time,
she felt very bored when the King wasn't by her side. Like this afternoon, the King had spent the entire afternoon in the council hall discussing matters with his ministers, and it seemed he wouldn't return until evening.
She knew, of course, that the King also had affairs of state to attend to and couldn't be with her all the time, but she had already grown accustomed to snuggling close to him and enjoying his kindness.
"Sigh!" Yu Mi sighed, her face etched with worry, as she sat on the chair.
"Princess Yu Mi, a young lady from the Moonlit Kingdom named Dingxiang requests an audience outside the palace," a eunuch announced.
"Dingxiang from the Wuyan Kingdom?!" It must be Granny Ding who sent her to see me! Upon hearing that Dingxiang had come to see her, Yu Mi jumped up from her chair in delight.
Chun Hong and Xia Lu, standing nearby, also widened their eyes in joy, equally surprised by Dingxiang's arrival.
"Quickly, bring her in!" Yu Mi exclaimed excitedly.
A moment later, Dingxiang appeared at Longyu Palace, led by a eunuch.
Dingxiang's appearance caused Yu Mi and the two maids to shout excitedly in unison,
"Dingxiang!" "Dingxiang greets Your Highness, how have you been here?" "Dingxiang's delicate face shared the same joyful expression as the three people before her.
"Yes, I'm fine, get up quickly!" Yumi pulled Dingxiang up and led her to a chair, for she had so many questions to ask her and so much to say to her!
The four people, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, began to chat excitedly.
"Mother heard that I was transporting goods to Wuyan Kingdom, and she specifically instructed me to come and pay my respects to the princess, to know if the princess is doing well? Everything is fine in Yuemian Kingdom, and Queen Daiji is also doing well." Dingxiang described simply.
"Yes, I'm doing very well too, and the king is very kind to me! Tell Mother and Granny Ding that I'm doing well, and that they don't need to worry about me anymore." Hearing that Yuemian Kingdom and her mother were doing well, Yumi's eyes reddened, because she really missed her mother, especially after being imprisoned in the cold palace a while ago. However, that was all in the past, and now the king was very kind to her.
"It's clear that the princess is doing well, and I'm happy for her too." "Dingxiang said.
She had been worried about the princess, because rumors said the overlord of Wuyan Kingdom was a fierce and ruthless man, and she feared the princess might be mistreated.
But seeing the princess's rosy complexion today, and that she was in the Wuyan King's palace, she figured the overlord had already succumbed to the charm of this lovely little princess.
"By the way, Dingxiang, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Why don't you stay a few more days and keep me company in Wuyan Kingdom?" Yumi was truly happy to have a good friend from Yuemian Kingdom visit.
"Uh, Princess, this...""I'm afraid that won't work. I came with another martial artist from the escort agency, Yang Feng, and he's still waiting for me outside the city gate. I'm afraid I can't stay long; we still have items to deliver to Heile Kingdom and Fuxi Kingdom before returning to Yuemian Kingdom." Although Dingxiang also wanted to stay and accompany Princess Yumi, she had official business to attend to.
"Oh, you're going to Heile Kingdom and Fuxi Kingdom too!" Yumi said with surprise. Aren't those the countries that Sister Feiying and Sister Yuening went to? "Dingxiang, since you're going to Heile Kingdom and Fuxi Kingdom, could you please write a letter for me and give it to my two sisters?" Yumi missed her sisters very much and wondered how they were doing. She wanted to write to them to tell them that she was doing well and that they didn't need to worry about her.
"Of course! If I'm successfully summoned, Dingxiang will definitely deliver the letter to the eldest and second princesses." Dingxiang was happy to deliver the letter for Princess Yumi.
"Okay, I'll write it now." "With that, Yu Mi immediately had Chun Hong and Xia Lu prepare pen, ink, and paper for her, and began writing a letter.
Yu Mi chatted with Ding Xiang as she wrote, and two hours later, Ding Xiang had to bid farewell to the princess due to official business.
Yu Mi personally escorted her out of Longyu Palace.
"Princess, I have a Resurrection Pill here, given to me by my master. No matter what kind of poison you're poisoned by, or how severe your injury, swallowing it can sustain your life for several hours as a life-saving measure. Now I'm giving it to you." Ding Xiang took out a small black pill from her waist.
She had just heard from Xia Lu that the princess had been framed by other concubines and sent to the Cold Palace, so she wanted to give the Resurrection Pill to the princess as a precaution.
"Ding Xiang, I don't need such a thing. You're traveling the world; you should keep it with you. Besides, the King is very good to me now, letting me stay in Longyu Palace. I'll be fine." Yu Mi said with a sweet smile.
"Alright. Please don't see Ding Xiang off any further, Princess. Take care." "If you come to Wuyan Kingdom again next time, Dingxiang will come to pay her respects to the princess again," Dingxiang said, her eyes reddening.
"Yes, I wish you a safe journey to Heile Kingdom in the Western Regions," Yumi said, her eyes also reddening, reluctant to part.
Led by an eunuch, Dingxiang turned and left.
"Dingxiang, remember to give my letter to my sister!" Yumi called after Dingxiang's retreating figure.
"Princess, I will remember!" Dingxiang turned around and replied, waving before leaving.
*******************
"Lan'er, didn't you say you had a way to deal with that little brat from Yuemian Kingdom? What have you done? Not only did you make the king make an exception and go to the Cold Palace, but now you've even brought that little brat back to Longyu Palace." In Yuening Palace, Duolong said angrily to his daughter Duolan.
"Father, I didn't expect things to turn out this way either." "Consort Lan also looked furious.
"I clearly plotted to get the King to send her to the Cold Palace, but who would have thought that the King would actually make an exception and go to the Cold Palace to see that little girl? It's infuriating!" Consort Lan couldn't help but shout angrily.
"This reminds us of something: the King really likes that little girl." Duolong's brows furrowed in anger.
"I'm also very puzzled. What is it about that skinny little girl that the King likes so much that he would abandon all the other concubines in the harem and go to the Cold Palace to visit her!" "A fierce glint flashed in Consort Lan's eyes.
That little girl, Yu Mi, wasn't much older than a child. What did the King love about her? In terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior, perhaps even more stunning! And her slender figure couldn't compare to her own voluptuous and alluring physique. Why was the King so infatuated with her?
" "Now is not the time to discuss why the King likes that little girl. What we need to do now is devise a way to deal with her properly," Duolong reminded his daughter.
If the King continued to pamper that child, then Lan'er would not be the future Queen.
"Yes, Father, we must think of a way to deal with that little girl properly!" Consort Lan echoed. "We absolutely must not let that little girl go. We finally got rid of the Queen, and things were about to succeed. How could we possibly..." Consort Lan blurted out, immediately drawing a furious rebuke from her father.
"Lan'er, didn't I tell you not to mention the Queen's matter again? Be careful, walls have ears!" Duolong scolded.
"Father, don't be so nervous! It's just the two of you here, no one will hear us," Consort Lan said.
"It's better to be careful!" Duolong glared at his daughter.
"I understand," Consort Lan said reluctantly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Aman is back!" At this moment, a palace maid reported from outside.
"Let her in." Consort Lan had sent her personal maid to monitor Princess Yumi, instructing her to report back immediately if she made any move. Now that Aman had suddenly returned to Yuening Palace, something must have happened.
She immediately asked, "Aman, why did you suddenly come back? Did Yumi do something again? Or did she run away from the palace again?" "Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Yumi did not run away from the palace. A girl from Yuemian Kingdom requested an audience with her. That girl stayed in Longyu Palace for a long time and only left just now," Aman said.
"A girl from the Moonlit Kingdom requests an audience with her?" Consort Lan repeated.
"Yes, and Princess Yumi even personally escorted her out of Longyu Palace. The two seemed quite familiar, and she wished her a safe journey to the Black Le Kingdom. Furthermore, I overheard the princess telling that girl to remember to deliver the letter to her sister." Aman truthfully recounted what she had heard.
"To the Black Le Kingdom, to deliver the letter to her sister?" It sounded like nothing; Yumi was simply asking someone to deliver a letter to her sister.
"A letter? To the Black Le Kingdom?" Duolong murmured thoughtfully, then, as if he had thought of a plan, he dismissed Aman. "You may leave!" "Father, what is it? Have you thought of a plan to deal with that girl?" Consort Lan asked, seeing a smile on her father's face.
"Yes, come, just like that..." Duolong whispered in his daughter's ear.
Hearing her father's plan, a ruthless smile appeared on Consort Lan's face.
"Ha... Father, your plan is brilliant! It seems the King will have no choice but to execute that little girl this time," Consort Lan laughed maliciously.
"Alright, I'll leave through the side gate of the palace first." With that, Duolong turned and left Yue Ning Palace.
"This time, no one can stop me from becoming Queen! Ha! Ha! Ha..."
********************
Dingxiang left the palace and hurried to meet Yang Feng outside the city. She had wasted a lot of time talking with Yu Mi, and they still needed to get to Heile Kingdom!
Remembering the letter the princess had entrusted to her, she feared she might forget it while rushing. Therefore, she took one of the letters from her bundle and placed it at her waist to remind herself not to forget Princess Yu Mi's instructions.
Just as she stepped out of the city gate, before reaching the place she had agreed to meet Yang Feng, four or five tall, masked men suddenly rushed up, blocking her path and attacking her with drawn swords.
"Who are you?" Dingxiang asked the masked men before her, their eyes fixed on her with fierce glares.
The masked men ignored her, relentlessly attacking her. Although Dingxiang possessed martial arts skills, she was no match for these burly men with superior skills.
Finally, wounded multiple times, she collapsed to the ground, her bundle stolen by the masked men. Had she encountered robbers?
"Found the letter, let's go!" The masked men pulled a letter from her bundle, dropped it, and quickly disappeared.
The letter? Why did they kill her? And why did they take the letter she was supposed to deliver to the princess?
Lying in a pool of blood, Dingxiang painfully and laboriously took a resurrection pill from her waist and swallowed it, immediately falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, at the morning court in the Wuyan Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report," Duolong said, bowing with both hands, his tone grave.
"Speak!" Shangyan Yao granted his request.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this letter first." Duolong handed the letter to a eunuch, who then passed it to the King.
Shang Yanyao took the letter, puzzled. He stared in astonishment at the words written on it: "Sister Feiying received Yu Mi." It was indeed Mi'er's handwriting, but where did this letter come from? What was going on? Shang Yanyao's handsome face darkened. He opened the envelope, took out the letter, and began to read its contents.
"This is..."Shang Yanyao's expression instantly changed, his handsome face twitching with anger, his sharp black eyes glaring at the black words on the white paper. It detailed the size of the Wuyan Kingdom's military force, as well as the army's training and encampments.
Why was there this letter?
He roared, "Guards! Immediately seize Princess Yumi and bring her to the main hall!" All the officials in the hall stared wide-eyed, wondering what the letter contained and why it had angered the king so much. However, the king's order to arrest Princess Yumi of Yuemian Kingdom suggested it was related to her.
Yumi didn't understand why the king was in such a hurry to summon her to the main hall. Chunhong and Xialu followed behind Princess Yumi tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, long live the king!" Yumi and the two palace maids knelt and kowtowed.
"I wonder why Your Majesty has summoned Yumi to the hall in such a hurry?" She saw the king sitting on the dragon throne before the palace, his sharp, sinister black eyes fixed on her, and she was puzzled.
"What is it?" Shang Yanyao spat out angrily through clenched teeth, "You have the nerve to ask me what it is?! Look at this! Did you write this?" Shang Yanyao flung his hand, throwing the envelope and letter to the ground.
The eunuch beside him picked up the envelope and letter and handed them to Princess Yumi.
Wasn't this the letter she wrote to her sister Feiying yesterday? How did it end up in the king's hands?
"Your Majesty, this was indeed written by Yumi. Didn't Yumi tell you yesterday that her wet nurse's daughter, Dingxiang, came to visit me? This is what I asked her to give to my sister Feiying in the Kingdom of Heile." "Yu Mi stared wide-eyed, wondering to herself, even if she hadn't told the King about writing the letter, he shouldn't be this angry!
"You admit you wrote this?" Shang Yan Yao glared at her coldly.
"Yes." Yu Mi nodded with a smile. Although she hadn't read the contents of the letter, she knew from the envelope. "But why does Your Majesty have a letter Yu Mi wrote to her sister? Shouldn't it be on Ding Xiang?" she asked疑惑地.
"Duo Long, where did you get this letter?" He stood up from the dragon throne and roared at Duo Long.
"Your Majesty, my subordinate saw a woman who wasn't from our Wuyan Kingdom near the city gate yesterday afternoon. Her expression and behavior seemed strange, so we went to question her. However, the woman refused to be questioned and started fighting with my subordinate." "Duolong paused.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mi looked at Lord Duolong in astonishment. Ding Xiang and Lord Duolong's men were fighting? How could this be?
" "Continue!" Shang Yan Yao roared, his handsome face growing increasingly gloomy.
"During their fight, this letter fell out of the woman's bundle. My subordinates opened it and found that it clearly stated the military strength of my Wuyan Kingdom and the locations where the army was stationed. It turned out to be a letter of treason. Therefore, my subordinates immediately arrested the woman from Yuemian Kingdom and learned that Princess Yu Mi had ordered her to deliver this letter to Heile Kingdom in the Western Regions." Duolong spoke with an air of seriousness. As soon as
Duolong finished speaking, all the courtiers in the hall gasped in surprise.
"A letter of treason?" "So the Moonlit Kingdom sent a princess as tribute to investigate the military strength of our Wuyan Kingdom!" "I never expected she would be a spy sent by the Heile Kingdom of the Western Regions." "I heard that the Heile Kingdom of the Western Regions wants to expand its territory northward, and the rumors are indeed true." The court officials discussed among themselves. "
A letter of treason? Nonsense, what I wrote was clearly..." Yu Mi lowered her head to examine the contents of the paper, her beautiful face suddenly turning pale. "This letter... how could it have become... like this?" She looked at the contents of the letter with trembling eyes. The handwriting was indeed hers, but the content was completely different from what she had written to her sister Fei Ying!
This letter was full of statistics on the number of troops and several locations, but she couldn't understand it very well. What kind of letter was this? Why did it look like her own handwriting? A big question mark was in Yu Mi's mind.
"Your Majesty, this handwriting... though it resembles Yu Mi's, the contents of the letter weren't written by Yu Mi. Yu Mi only wanted to tell Sister Fei Ying about her recent situation in Wuyan Kingdom. Your Majesty, Yu Mi doesn't know why the contents of the letter have changed like this... Your Majesty, please believe Yu Mi! What about Ding Xiang? She can testify that the letter I gave her wasn't like this." Yu Mi pleaded, her face pale.
"Fine, I'll convince you. Duo Long, where is that woman? I want her to confront me personally!" Shang Yan Yao asked Duo Long coldly. "
Your Majesty, that woman knew she couldn't escape death, so after being arrested by my subordinates, she committed suicide." Anyway, the woman is dead, and there's no way to verify anything.
"What! Ding Xiang is dead! No..." Yu Mi cried out in shock, as if struck by lightning, her mind blank.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yumi has spyed on our army, and the evidence of her treason is irrefutable. According to the laws of our Wuyan Kingdom, anyone who treasons is sentenced to death. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision immediately!" Duolong reported.
"Death penalty?" Yumi's voice trembled stiffly. "No, Your Majesty, Yumi didn't! Yumi is not a spy, and she didn't write any letters of treason! Your Majesty, please believe Yumi! Yumi really didn't... I didn't!" She opened her innocent eyes and pleaded with Shang Yanyao, who sat on the throne. She didn't know how things had turned out this way.
A death sentence! Shang Yanyao's heart trembled. His thick eyebrows furrowed, and a strange, unknown glint flashed in his cold eyes.
Yumi's eyes reddened, but she still held back the tears that were about to spill. She trembled and pleaded with the king, hoping he would believe her. She really hadn't done anything to treason. She really didn't know why the contents of the letter had been completely changed.
"Your Majesty, please order Princess Yumi's execution immediately!" Doron pleaded again.
A tense atmosphere immediately filled the hall.
"Your Majesty," the Grand Preceptor Gruda spoke, "I believe there is something suspicious about this matter. May I see the letter?" "Give it to him!" Shangyan Yao paused, then ordered a eunuch to hand the letter from Yumi to Gruda.
Gruda took the letter of treason, his deep, intelligent eyes scrutinizing it carefully.
"Grand Preceptor, even the princess herself has admitted that the handwriting in the letter is hers, and she was the one who had it delivered to Heile Kingdom. What else is suspicious?" Seeing Grand Preceptor Gruda read the letter, Doron felt a pang of panic. However, the person who wrote the letter was now kneeling in the hall, and the messenger was already dead. Even if Gruda wanted to investigate, he probably wouldn't be able to find anything.
Gruda simply looked at the letter without uttering a word. The letter's contents, describing the various garrisons and troop numbers, were far too detailed! Moreover, if the letter wasn't written by the princess, then the only possibility was…
"Grand Preceptor, Princess Yumi has committed the capital crime of treason. Are you not going to plead for her?" Doron preemptively asked.
It was Garuda who had previously suggested keeping Princess Yumi, and this time, he couldn't let Garuda speak for that brat again.
"Lord Doron, you're overthinking it. If the princess truly committed the capital crime of treason, and the evidence is conclusive, why would I plead for her?" Garuda cleverly replied to Doron.
He bowed again, addressing Shang Yan Yao, "Your Majesty, this old minister believes that even if it is true that the princess went to Wuyan Kingdom as a spy, according to the laws of Wuyan Kingdom, there has never been a case of immediate execution. Even for a capital offense, the date of execution will be determined first." "Very well, I order that Princess Yu Mi be imprisoned in the death row and executed in seven days!" Shang Yan Yao's cold and stern face roared with uncontrollable rage.
"Executed in seven days? No, Your Majesty, you can't do this to me... I did not treason, Your Majesty..."
Upon hearing the king's order to execute her, Yu Mi's face turned deathly pale, and her entire body stiffened.
Shang Yanyao pursed his lips, his fierce, cold, and angry black eyes filled with raging fury. "You shouldn't have betrayed me! Take him away!" "No... Mi'er didn't betray you! Someone must have framed Mi'er on purpose, Your Majesty... You said that no matter what happened, you would believe Mi'er. Why don't you believe Mi'er anymore, Your Majesty..."
She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tears streamed down her face. She never expected that the King would listen to others again and even order her execution!
Yu Mi immediately had two guards in the hall arrest her.
"Princess..." Chun Hong and Xia Lu, kneeling behind Yu Mi, cried out in panic.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to die with the Princess. We beg Your Majesty to lock us up in the death row." Since they couldn't protect the Princess, the two palace maids were willing to be executed along with their mistress.
"No, Chun Hong, Xia Lu, don't..." Yu Mi stopped them. How could she let the two of them be executed with her?
"Hmph!" Shang Yanyao sneered disdainfully. "Since you are so loyal, even unafraid of death, then I will grant your wish. Take them all to the death row and execute them all in seven days." "No... Your Majesty, you can't... You are a tyrant, a foolish ruler, I hate you... I hate you!" Yu Mi cried out in heartbreak, then had her dragged out of the hall by the guards.
Doron watched as Princess Yu Mi was ordered by the king to be taken to the death row, secretly pleased. He glanced at the Grand Tutor Garuda, guessing that he might investigate the matter privately. Although the execution was not scheduled for seven days, Ding Xiang was already dead, and the original letters had been burned. Even if Garuda was very capable, he probably wouldn't be able to find out anything.
Garuda calmly stroked his white beard, his unfathomable eyes gleaming with wisdom.
**************
The death row cell, a damp and dark place, the chilly, musty air conveying a sense of death, while a small oil lamp on the wall adds an eerie touch to this confined and dark cell.
Yu Mi is ill; she closes her eyes and lies weakly on the cold floor, her once rosy and beautiful face now pale and lifeless.
Chun Hong and Xia Lu kneel worriedly beside her.
Chun Hong sobs, "Princess, you must eat something, you'll...""She can't bear it!" "No wonder the princess is sick. The air here is too damp and unclean. The princess is so delicate, and for the past six days, she's been vomiting everything she eats. Of course she'll fall ill.
" "So what if she can't bear it? She'll die eventually anyway, it's just a matter of time. In fact, dying like this might not be such a bad thing." Yu Mi opened her eyes slightly and said weakly.
She wanted to die like this because she didn't want to be executed in front of Shang Yanyao. Dying naturally like this would preserve her last bit of dignity.
"Princess... Waaah... This servant is so sorry! This servant failed to protect the princess properly... This servant deserves to die, Princess... Waaah..." Xia Lu choked out.
"Shh, don't cry," Yu Mi comforted them.
From the day she was sentenced to death and thrown into the death row, she hadn't cried once. Her heart was broken, dead. How could a broken heart, a heartless person, cry from sorrow?
If there was anything she regretted, it was that she had made Chun Hong and Xia Lu suffer with her.
"You shouldn't have died, you shouldn't have died with me. You were so foolish. I'm so sorry," Yu Mi sighed softly.
They could see that from the first day in the death row, the princess had lost the will to live. She neither cried nor made a fuss, and showed no sorrow whatsoever, as if she were just a soulless body.
"No, Princess, you haven't wronged us. Let us follow you to the underworld and continue to serve you!" Chun Hong said mournfully.
"I've also wronged Granny, because I killed Ding Xiang; I feel even more sorry for Mother, I..."
Yu Mi said listlessly.
"Princess, please stop!" Chunhong and Xialu felt as if the princess was speaking her last words, making them even more distressed.
"Alright, I'm tired anyway, let me rest!" Yumi felt extremely uncomfortable, heavily closing her eyes, hoping that she would wake up and find relief.
"Princess..." She heard Chunhong and Xialu calling, but the voices grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared completely.

"Your Majesty, the jailer just came to report that Princess Yumi... she is now..." Chief Eunuch Cha entered the imperial study, stammering.
"What's wrong with her?" Hearing that she hadn't eaten for days, Shang Yanyao's handsome face darkened, and he asked anxiously.
"Not only is she sick, but she's now... she's fallen into a coma!" "Damn it!" Shang Yanyao's heart tightened, and he roared and cursed loudly.
Why did she let herself get like this? Why didn't she eat properly? He secretly sent people daily to report on the little girl's situation in the death row, but unexpectedly, she made herself sick and fell into a coma.
"Damn little thing, I should give her a good spanking! Can't she take care of herself for my sake? Does she really think I'll execute her, so she doesn't want to live at all?" Shang Yan Yao roared furiously, enraged by her stubborn and obstinate personality.
It seemed she wanted to prove her innocence with death. Within her petite frame, besides the sweet softness that captivated him, there was also a proud and stubborn temperament, which he had known since the last time she was willing to be banished to the cold palace to prove her innocence.
He didn't disbelieve what she said in the palace that day; on the contrary, he completely believed in her innocence.
Although the evidence of her treason was irrefutable, and that little fool had admitted that the handwriting was hers, he still believed in her; she couldn't possibly betray him.
But he needed to know the whole story, so he feigned anger and sentenced her to death, all to thoroughly uncover the truth.
He dispatched twelve palace experts to secretly assist the Grand Tutor, Gruda, in investigating the matter, starting with Doron and Dolan. He had suspected Consort Lan ever since the incident in the Cold Palace.
"Damn it, does she distrust me that much? And what are those two palace maids doing? They deliberately put them both in the death row so they could take good care of their princess, and then they made her sick and unconscious! If anything happens to Mi'er, I will execute them!" Shang Yanyao cursed again, filled with worry and anxiety.
He had originally planned to clear her name and announce a major event in front of the court officials tomorrow, but it seemed she couldn't hold on for even one more day; she probably couldn't hold on any longer.
Hearing that she had fallen into a coma, Shang Yanyao's heart clenched tightly.
"No, we can't risk waiting until tomorrow," Shang Yanyao clenched his fists. "To the death row immediately!" he said sternly, his thick eyebrows furrowing.
As he entered the death row, the damp, musty air made him feel nauseous. "Damn it, the air here is awful!" he cursed angrily, regretting putting her in such a place. He should have put her in another cell.
No wonder she was sick; this place was no place for a human. Perhaps he should have ordered this horrible place destroyed.
When he saw the little figure lying in the dungeon, her face completely pale, as if she were dead, his anger exploded, and his heart ached terribly.
Her condition was several times worse than he had imagined, filling him with both heartache and fury.
"Damn servants, how did you take care of her? How could you let her become like this!" he roared at the two trembling palace maids kneeling on the ground.
He quickly rushed forward, knelt down, and picked her up from the ground. Her already petite body had become even thinner, as light as a feather.
Shang Yanyao held Yu Mi tightly in his arms, gazing at her gaunt cheeks. He tenderly kissed her forehead before striding out of the death row.
He carried her back to Longyu Palace and immediately summoned all the imperial physicians to treat her.
At the same time, Geruda also entered the palace to report his investigation results.
***********************
The next morning at court.
Shang Yanyao sat imposingly on the dragon throne. After the officials in the hall knelt in obeisance, he immediately roared, "Damn it, Duolong! You dare to fabricate a letter of treason to frame Princess Yu Mi! What is your punishment?!" "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This old minister has absolutely not framed Princess Yu Mi, because that letter was indeed obtained by my subordinate from that girl from Yuemian Kingdom. It was not fabricated. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty!" Duolong bowed with both hands, firmly defending himself.
He had heard that yesterday afternoon, the King had personally carried Princess Yu Mi out of the death row and ordered all the royal physicians to go to Longyu Palace. He had felt uneasy then, wondering why the King had suddenly changed his tune.
However, with all the physical and witness evidence destroyed, he could never admit to this fabrication and framing.
"Damn it! Even facing death, you still won't admit it. Fine, I'll make you admit it!" Shang Yan Yao said furiously. "Guards, bring Ding Xiang and Yan Zi Nan here!" Ding Xiang and Yan Zi Nan? Duo Long was shocked, his face changing drastically. Wasn't Ding Xiang already dead? And Yan Zi Nan…How did the king know about him?
Two men, one old and one young, entered the hall. The younger man was carrying a seemingly frail young girl.
"Your Majesty, long live the king!" the three exclaimed in unison.
"Dingxiang, repeat what you told the Grand Preceptor clearly," Shang Yanyao said in a deep voice.
"Yes! That day, after I left the palace, I encountered a group of masked thieves. They not only stole the letter from my bundle but also tried to kill me. Fortunately, my companion Yang Feng saved my life." Although Dingxiang had survived, her injuries were severe, and she was still unable to walk.
"Your Majesty, this woman is full of lies. The only thing that can be believed is that the letter treasonous did indeed come from her," Duolong argued.
"Your Majesty, I can testify that the letter Princess Yu Mi gave me was not a letter of treason. The princess wrote two letters, instructing me to deliver them to the eldest and second princesses. Although the letter for the eldest princess, Fei Ying, was stolen, the other letter for the second princess, Yue Ning, was kept at my waist as a reminder of the princess's instructions, and therefore, it was not taken." Ding Xiang presented the other bloodstained letter to the king through a eunuch.
Princess Yumi actually wrote two letters?! Duolong stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Heaven had truly played a cruel joke on him. He felt a chill run down his spine.
"Your Majesty," Yan Zinan presented the letters to the King, "the other letter from Princess Yumi is in my possession. I make a living by writing for others and am skilled at imitating handwriting. Eight days ago, Lord Duolong asked me to write a letter in Princess Yumi's handwriting. Because I dared not offend Lord Duolong and feared future harm, I kept Princess Yumi's original letter, along with a handwritten copy made by Lord Duolong himself."
The whole matter was now clear.
"Damn it! Duolong, what else do you have to say?" Shang Yan Yao glared angrily at Duolong.
"No... Your Majesty... please spare my life... this old minister..." Duolong knelt weakly on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Don't even think I'll spare you! Guards! Take Duolong to the death row immediately and execute him in two days!" Shangyan Yao couldn't suppress his intense rage, especially thinking of the little one lying unconscious on the bed. He wanted nothing more than to kill Duolong immediately.
He knew, of course, why Duolong had framed Mi'er. It was the same purpose as when Consort Lan had plotted against Mi'er—to seize the long-vacant position of Queen.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to spare his life!" the Grand Preceptor, Gruda, pleaded. "Duolong was once a meritorious minister of our Wuyan Kingdom. This old minister begs Your Majesty to forgive him." "I also beg Your Majesty to forgive Duolong!" In an instant, every minister in the hall pleaded for Duolong's life.
Shang Yanyao glared fiercely at Duolong, took a deep breath, and his eyes still burned with rage. "Fine, I will spare Duolong, but while he may be spared death, he will not escape punishment! I hereby order that Duolong and Consort Lan be demoted to commoners and immediately banished from the Wuyan Kingdom, never to set foot in my Wuyan Kingdom again." "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life!" Duolong thanked the king tremblingly, and then had his guards take him away.
"I have an announcement to make, and that is the long-vacant position of Queen. I have decided..."
Yu Mi slightly opened her eyes, feeling a blinding brightness, which made her close them again. She took a deep breath of the comfortable, fresh air. Was she... in heaven?
"Princess, you're finally awake." Chunhong and Xialu, who were beside her, were happy to see the princess, who had been unconscious for five days, awaken.
"Chunhong, Xialu, you've come to heaven too..." Yu Mi said incoherently.
"Princess, we're not dead! Wake up! Look around! This isn't heaven, it's the King's Dragon Palace!" Not dead? Not in heaven? In the Dragon Palace? Yu Mi opened her bright eyes in confusion, looked around, and sat up in surprise. Why were they all alive, and in the Dragon Palace instead?
"Why am I here?" she asked, puzzled.
Chun Hong and Xia Lu began to recount how the King had carried the princess out of the death row, and learned from Chief Steward Cha that the King believed the princess and had deliberately sentenced her to death first in order to investigate the truth. He had even sent twelve palace spies to investigate... including the framing by Lord Duo and Consort Lan.
Listening to the two maids' account, Yu Mi realized that the King hadn't broken his promise to her; he believed her. Her heart warmed.
"Although the truth has come out, Ding Xiang died because of me..." She thought of Ding Xiang's death and sadly lowered her head.
"Dingxiang isn't dead, she's just injured. The King has arranged for her to stay at the palace outside the city and sent the royal physicians to treat her," Xia Lu said. "Moreover, Dingxiang visited the princess during the five days she was unconscious!" "I was unconscious for five days?" Yu Mi asked, her eyes wide.
"Yes, we were all very worried! And during those five days, apart from attending the morning court, the King stayed by the princess's side day and night. The King truly loves the princess!" Chun Hong said with a smile. Anyone could deeply feel the King's love for the princess.
"The King stayed by my side day and night?" Then wouldn't the King have seen her sleeping in such an unsightly state? Yu Mi felt a wave of shame, her cheeks flushing red.
She remembered that day in the palace, when she was angry at the King's distrust of her and called him a tyrant and a foolish ruler, but the King not only wasn't angry, but also stayed by her side.
"Not only that, His Majesty also..." Xia Lu said with a grin, but was interrupted by the welcoming voices outside the room.
Seeing the King enter the room, Chun Hong and Xia Lu tactfully left.
Upon seeing the sleeping woman on the bed, now awake and sitting up, Shang Yanyao's handsome face broke into a charming smile of surprise. He walked to the bedside and sat down on the edge.
"Mi'er, you're awake." Shang Yanyao looked down at her, noticing the blush on her face. "What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?" He reached out worriedly, touching her forehead with his palm.
Faced with the King's tenderness, Yu Mi's face flushed even more, her heart pounding. The King's love for her was so genuine and undisguised, deeply moving her. This majestic and domineering king had always been so gentle with her.
The man before her was so handsome and dignified, and loved her so much—how could she not be moved! She truly loved the outstanding man before her.
She knelt up from the bed, shyly kissing his resolute face, then wrapped her arms around his neck, softly saying, "Your Majesty, I know everything. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scolded you that day. Please forgive me." Shang Yanyao was overjoyed by her sudden kiss and embrace, for this was the first time this little girl had taken the initiative to kiss him and hold him so intimately.
He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her towards his strong body, burying his face in her small frame, inhaling her unique sweet scent.
"You silly little thing, look at the state you've become! You want me to believe you, then you should trust me too." His large hand, stroking her shapely buttocks, gently patted it, then pulled her even tighter.
"Your Majesty, besides asking for your forgiveness, there is another matter I wish to request," Yu Mi said thoughtfully.
"Tell me, and I will definitely grant your request." Shang Yanyao held her tightly, unwilling to let go of the sweet atmosphere they shared.
"Yu Mi begs Your Majesty to allow her to return to Yu Ning Palace." Yu Mi knew very well that the reason she had been framed time and again was simply because of her status as a tribute. She had not been granted a title, yet she received such favor from the King, which naturally aroused jealousy. Moreover, if she remained in Long Yu Palace, she would eventually attract criticism from other court officials, which might damage the King's reputation.
"Why return to Yu Ning Palace?" Shang Yanyao pulled her away, creating some distance between them, his sharp, sinister black eyes fixed on her, trying to read her expression.
"Because...""Yu Mi lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding his intense gaze. "Mi'er is not qualified to live in Longyu Palace. It would probably cause controversy. Therefore, it would be better for Mi'er to return to Yu Ning Palace." "I see." A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Shang Yan Yao's handsome face.
He pulled the little girl in front of him into his arms again, and then chuckled hoarsely, "Silly girl, you really are silly. You are my queen, of course you are qualified to live in Longyu Palace." On the day he demoted Duolong and Lan Fei to commoners and banished them from Wuyan Kingdom, he had already publicly announced that he had made Yu Mi the queen of Wuyan Kingdom.
"Queen?" "Your Majesty, you just said..." Yu Mi couldn't believe what she had just heard. She stared at the king with her innocent eyes, only to see his handsome face full of smiles.
Shang Yanyao reached out and gently cupped her beautiful and delicate face in his hands, tenderly kissing her slightly parted, alluring lips.
"On the day the truth of the false accusation comes to light, I will simultaneously announce that you are hereby bestowed the title of Queen of Wuyan Kingdom, and the investiture ceremony will be held two months later," Shang Yanyao said affectionately.
She was the woman he loved most, and the queen he loved most in his life.
"Your Majesty, I..." Yu Mi could not contain the overwhelming joy in her heart, her body trembling slightly with surprise, leaving her completely speechless.
"I have already ordered invitations to be sent to various countries, and I have also personally written a letter to Dai Ji, solemnly inviting her to Wuyan Kingdom to attend your investiture ceremony," Shang Yanyao said, kissing her pink cheek.
"Your Majesty... I..." Look at all the things he has done for her, oh! How could she not love him!
"Your Majesty, I will always remember your deep affection for me." She would love him even more to repay his deep love for her.
"Besides remembering forever, is there anything else?" Shang Yanyao asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mi'er will love you even more, more than herself, more than anyone else!" Yu Mi said with a bright, sweet smile.
Her delicate and sweet appearance aroused a burning desire within him.
"Anything else? Like something more practical?" Shang Yanyao's deep eyes narrowed, a wicked smile playing on his lips, his eyes gleaming with intense desire.
"Your Majesty..." His gaze made Yu Mi blush instantly, her originally fair and delicate face becoming even more alluring with the rosy blush.
The two gazed deeply at each other, their burning love and thirsty desire bursting forth between them. A strong and primal urge made them embrace tightly, once again sinking into the ecstatic climax of their wild lovemaking...
