My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 456 - 436: The King of Ghosts

A few days were spent at the villa before returning to the capital today. Yun Ran first went to Jiuzhou Music House to see Yu Feiyin and discussed the opening of the medical clinic, followed by a personal inspection of the clinic.

Beyond the main hall of the clinic lies a small courtyard with a delightful view, the east wing being bedrooms, and the west and north yards serving as storerooms.

Past the corner gate of the courtyard is a garden, filled with blossoming flowers and fine trees, with small bridges and flowing water, picturesque scenery. At the end of the garden lies a Purple Bamboo Forest, where the wind sweeps through, creating a refined elegance in the mortal world.

Behind the bamboo forest is Yun Ran’s courtyard. It must be said, Yu Feiyin’s execution was exactly to her liking.

This was simply her dream courtyard!

"I need to think of a nice name for it, and choose an auspicious day to move!"

Yun Ran was in high spirits, humming a tune as she left her dream courtyard, planning to go to the Seven Stars Restaurant in the West Market to buy two beggar chickens and return to the palace. However, on the way, she saw a familiar figure.

Although it flashed by and vanished into the bustling alleys, Yun Ran recognized him immediately.

Ye Wushang.

Yun Ran was somewhat surprised. He had previously appeared at the Qishan hunting ground to assassinate Nangong Mo, and possibly came for her, but she was unconscious at the time.

"He actually chased to the capital?"

Regarding his persistent efforts to kill Lin Wanyue, Yun Ran has always wanted to find out who was behind it. Her intuition told her it wasn’t that simple.

She had long wished to meet him, but as a top assassin, his movements were elusive and unpredictable, making it difficult to find him.

Now, having accidentally stumbled upon his whereabouts, Yun Ran followed him without hesitation.

Her qinggong was excellent, her steps light and agile, and with deliberate concealment of her presence, Ye Wushang did not notice her throughout the way.

Through the bustling streets, they gradually reached an uninhabited area, a wildland overgrown with weeds, with a dilapidated temple not far away. Yun Ran saw Ye Wushang enter.

Yun Ran did not immediately follow.

She sensed a strong aura: sinister, fierce, and murderous.

There was someone in the temple, a paramount master.

Yun Ran held her breath, concentrating, hiding in the tall grass, using the sound of the wind as cover, she slowly approached the temple.

"Ghost King, please have mercy! A single Lin Wanyue is indeed not to be worried about, but King Qin’s martial arts are unfathomable, his Hidden Guards numerous, with him guarding her every step, it’s truly not easy to kill Lin Wanyue! Please grant Wushang another chance, a little more time!"

Qi Yexue knelt on the ground, nervously pleading to the person in front.

The person wore a green robe and a mask of a fierce ghost with a blue face and sharp teeth, under the mask, his eyes were like greedy wolves of the dark night, emitting cold and evil glints, staring coldly at the ground.

Ye Wushang lay at his feet. His handsome face was as pale as paper, like a specter never seeing daylight in eternal night, his black hair and clothes soaked with cold sweat like rain. His slender fingers clawed at the ground, his nails embedded into the soil.

Colorless thin lips tightly clenched, a streak of bright red blood oozed from the corner, contrasting his snow-white face, exuding endless allure.

He was enduring immense pain at the moment.

Just earlier, the green robe had shaken the Bone Bell, causing the Gu Poison in his body to activate prematurely.

The taste of the Gu Poison’s flare-up, Qi Yexue knew all too well, like thousands of bugs gnawing at the organs simultaneously, piercing pain that drives one to unbearable suffering.

She couldn’t even bear to look at Ye Wushang’s current miserable state.

"Ghost King, Master, please have mercy! Grant Wushang another chance to atone through meritorious deeds!"
