Duke Yue circled around Mu Yunyao, eyes similarly filled with pain,

"Yao`er …

"

"I'm worried about you, so I came to take a look first. It's enough for the Rites Department to help second brother prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

" royal father's side is fine now, I'll send you back to your residence to rest first.

"

"What about you, Master Four? Are you going back to rest as well?

" Mu Yunyao's heart was in a troubled state. She always felt that it was only at ease when she was accompanied by the King.

"I want to go to the Ministry of Justice's Prison.

"

When Mu Yunyao thought of Prince Jin and Guo Qingzhou, a sharp light flashed in her eyes,

"Fourth Master, I also want to go take a look.

"

"Alright.

" Knowing the knot in Mu Yunyao's heart towards Prince Jin, King Yue happily agreed.

The Sky Prison of the Ministry of Justice was deep underground. King Yue covered Mu Yunyao with his cape before holding her hand and walking down,

"To call it a Sky Prison would be more appropriate to call it an underground prison. It is dark and gloomy inside, and your body is so thin that you have to be extra careful.

"

The corner of Mu Yunyao's mouth lifted into a smile. After nodding her head, she hid her hand in the palm of the Titan King, and a warm feeling flashed through her heart.

The officer who led the way bowed and led them to the cell where the felons were kept. He unlocked the cell door and left.

Prince Jin was leaning against the wall of his cell, clutching a straw stick in his hand. He was still wearing the same luxurious clothes. However, they were no longer gentle and noble like they were before. Instead, there was a sense of helplessness and paleness.

Hearing footsteps, Prince Jin raised his head. When he saw King Yue and Mu Yunyao, his lips curled up into a mocking smile.

"Fourth Brother, you came to settle the score with me?

"

Yue Yang coldly spat out one word:

"No.

" Prince Jin threw away the straw in his hand and leaned on the wall as he raised his head. His gaze landed on Mu Yunyao,

"That's true, I am already at the end of my road. Since I am going to die anyway, is there any meaning in counting? You didn't come to see me, did you?

"Right?

"

Mu Yunyao took two steps forward. Her gaze swept across the shackles on his hands and feet, and indifferently said,

"The Emperor has already given the order to pass the throne to Your Highness King Yu. The enthronement ceremony will be held in two days.

"

Prince Jin gritted his teeth and laughed mockingly,

"Does this have anything to do with me?

"

"It has nothing to do with you. I just want you to know that it's hard for you to bear listening to it.

"He calculated everything thoroughly, even trying to outsmart the other party, yet he still lost completely in the end. That's why it's taboo to scheme too much, as long as it's too excessive, it's easy to get lucky, and in the end, it's yourself who will suffer a loss.

"

In terms of scheming, who could have calculated you and King Yue? You two have obviously known of my plan for a long time, but you did not call attention to my plan, and instead schemed against me, causing me to fall down and never have the chance to get back up again.

"We just took advantage of the situation and tied ourselves up. As princes, you actually contacted the people of Northern Frontier. Don't you think about what will happen if we don't stop you?

"

Prince Jin lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping across the bruises on Mu Yunyao's cheeks and her captivating red lips. He couldn't help but close his eyes,

"When did you discover that I was in contact with the northern border?

"

"When?

"From when you still haven't contacted the north.

"

"There's still no contact...

" King Jin frowned. Suddenly, he remembered the letter from the Northern Frontier that he put away in his study room. A sharp light flashed across his eyes,

"That letter was from you …

" You forged it?

"

"Yes, I forged it.

"

"How is this possible?

"

"What's impossible?

" Mu Yunyao laughed coldly,

"Regardless of whether it is you or the northern border, your ambitions are too great. Once a person fixates his gaze on something, he will subconsciously neglect something else. Therefore, although it is risky, as long as you carefully guide him, it will naturally happen.

"

Prince Jin narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Mu Yunyao,

"Apart from this, wasn't it also your handiwork that caused royal father to be completely disappointed in me when we broke through the river bank?

" Mu Yunyao raised her wrist and wiggled the crystal green jade bracelet on her wrist. She nodded without any hesitation,

"That's right, the reason that the River Bending case was so easily investigated against you was because of the evidence that I had gathered together with Your Highness King Yue.

When you found out about this in the Emperor, you committed suicide and became blind, deaf, and one of my participants.

" If she had not helped, the king would not have been able to replace the pills that Jinx had bought so easily.

Prince Jin's heart was filled with rage,

"Why?

"Why do you hate me so much?

"

Mu Yunyao was silent for a moment. Images of her previous life kept flashing through her mind, but they were finally suppressed deep within her heart.

"This might be retribution.

"

King Jin suddenly stood up, the shackles in his hands clanging loudly. He wanted to get close to Mu Yunyao, but was blocked by King Yue.

He stood where he was, staring fixedly at the beautiful woman who looked as beautiful as ever.

"What retribution? I've never hurt you, so why are you being so cruel to me?

"

Mu Yunyao lowered her gaze slightly, her slender eyelashes slightly trembling, concealing the ice-cold look that flashed in her eyes.

"You're the one who harmed Princess Yu, right?

"

The corners of Prince Jin's eyes twitched,

"What does it have to do with me?

" The Li family had originally wanted to help the king ascend to the throne, so this revenge against the imperial court was even more thorough. Unfortunately, the king wasn't able to live up to his expectations, so the Li family had no choice but to give up on him.

The King who is supported by his family should be able to tie his hands and legs, but he suddenly has the ability to kidnap the current Crown Princess. Furthermore, he is exceptionally meticulous in his actions, and the way he treats Princess Yu is extremely cruel.

"I didn't know you knew me so well?

"

"So you admit it?

" Yes, I admit that it was my idea, and I was the one who sent people to incite her and force her into an abortion. After that, I was the one who gave medicine to your bodyguards, and also the one who gave advice.

"But I did not use any methods to make Min Fanghua and Liu Liang suffer. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would not have the chance to stand here and mock me!

" Not everyone is like you, who only have benefits in their eyes. When a person lives, there must be something more important than the power in front of their eyes, for example, six taels of silver. In order to be loyal to my master, he can break his own four limbs to resist the medicine, but you, think about it now, after losing in a battle of power, do you have anything else by your side?
