I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 613 Only one chance

Looking back on those times, Lu Yangyang still feels incredibly warm.

She was so grateful that although she had encountered injustice, she had also met so many wonderful people.

Even if she grows wildly, she can still feel the warmth of the sun and rain.

King Yuechuan quietly looked at Lu Yangyang, listened to her words, and imagined what his own face would look like if he did such a thing.

It's a bit hard to imagine.

King Yuechuan couldn't help but chuckle.

His eyes remained cold when he smiled, but the corners of his lips twitched slightly, making his usually aloof face appear much gentler.

Lu Yangyang looked at him curiously: "You smiled."

"I was just thinking that what you described is somewhat unimaginable. I can't picture what it would be like," King Yuechuan asked her. "Is the capital prosperous? Is it bustling?"

“It’s lively,” Lu Yangyang replied.

“It’s lively,” King Yuechuan said softly. “Will he like the liveliness of the capital? The Yuechuan Palace is bright all year round, but it’s like a winter that you can’t get out of, with snow falling all year round.”

Lu Yangyang could barely hear what he was saying, only vaguely hearing him say "him." Who was he? Was he his older brother?

Prince Jing of Ming?

"Could you tell me the story of that princess?" King Yuechuan looked at Lu Yangyang and asked her, "Why did such a good person you spoke of leave us?"

Lu Yangyang was surprised again. It seemed that the Prince of Yuechuan was very interested in the Eldest Princess.

Is it because she said they look alike?

When he said he couldn't imagine those scenes, was he imagining what the princess, who resembled him, would be like?

Or perhaps, he wanted to understand his brother's daughter?

Curiosity stemming from resemblance... is understandable.

Lu Yangyang hadn't originally intended to say these things, but... King Yuechuan didn't have much time left, and the matter of the eldest princess had nothing to do with the current affairs of Yuechuan Kingdom, so it wouldn't hurt to talk to him about it.

So Lu Yangyang told King Yuechuan about what happened to the eldest princess.

After listening to what Lu Yangyang had to say, King Yuechuan asked, "So, you met Xiaoli, your friend, because of her, but after she left, your friend was also forced to marry a foreign prince, is that right?"

Lu Yangyang nodded.

“Fate is cruel,” King Yuechuan sighed softly. “Do you believe in fate?”

Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, fate may have its own arrangements, but I will do my best."

"No wonder Xiaoyue Ling likes you so much, and I also like you very much." King Yuechuan said gently to Lu Yangyang.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Prince Yuechuan."

Lu Yangyang never expected that King Yuechuan would say such things to her.

She became increasingly curious as to why King Yuechuan, who seemed so gentle, was so determined to start a war.

“You’ve come to see me not just for a medical consultation,” King Yuechuan said softly. “I really enjoyed your story. Tell me, what do you want?”

"I..." Lu Yangyang wanted to ask him directly why he insisted on starting a war. Didn't he know how much disaster this would bring to Yuechuan Kingdom and how many innocent people would lose their lives?

But she knew that this was not the time to ask these questions.

If she were to ask now, and it displeased King Yuechuan, he might just kill her.

Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and asked, "To be honest, I came to Yuechuan Kingdom to find something."

"Oh?" King Yuechuan looked at her. "What?"

“Azure Python,” Lu Yangyang said. “I need the venom of the Azure Python, but I’ve asked many people and none of them have ever seen one. I’ve heard that the totem of Yuechuan is the python, and the python is also a sacred object of Yuechuan. Perhaps this will provide some clues. King Yuechuan, you are very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of any place where the Azure Python has ever appeared?”

"Azure Python..." King Yuechuan looked at her thoughtfully: "You are a doctor. You used the Azure Python's venom to heal your Crown Prince's leg, didn't you?"

Lu Yangyang looked at King Yuechuan in astonishment, never expecting that King Yuechuan could guess it.

Her prescription was the result of her researching countless ancient books and finding the few herbs that could best neutralize the effects of other medicines. There are very few people in the world who can guess its function.

King Yuechuan had only met Zong Que once, but now that he saw her asking questions, he understood her intentions.

It is evident that his expertise in medicine far surpasses hers.

that……

Why would someone like that ruin their body to the point of being an empty shell?

And... since he knows that, does that mean he really does know about the Azure Python?

Lu Yangyang's expression involuntarily softened with excitement, "You know..."

“I know,” King Yuechuan replied.

Lu Yangyang couldn't help but clench her fists, then stood up, took two steps back, and knelt down before King Yuechuan with her hands clasped: "Please tell me about the Azure Python, King Yuechuan. In exchange, you can name your terms. I will do anything I can."

"What an innocent little fellow," King Tsukikawa chuckled softly.

Lu Yangyang looked at him expectantly.

“You don’t have anything that I want, but I like you, so I can give you some pointers once.” King Yuechuan said softly, “Your Crown Prince asked me why I joined forces with the First Prince, causing war between our two countries. He couldn’t guess the answer. How about this, you guess. If you guess correctly, I will give you what you want. How about it? You have three days. In three days, there will be a sacrificial ceremony. You only have one chance.”

Lu Yangyang frowned, and did not answer for a moment.

"Believe it or not," King Yuechuan smiled as he looked at her. "Little girl, I can only tell you one thing: sometimes, things in life are hard to balance. It's not that you haven't tried hard enough, but that you can't afford the price for some things to exist."

"Go back, go back and think it over carefully, and you will know that what is meant to be broken will eventually be broken."

Lu Yangyang looked up at King Yuechuan, only to see that King Yuechuan had already leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

She quietly got up and walked out without disturbing King Yuechuan.

When they reached the outside of the main hall, Yin Yueling hurriedly came over, pulled her to a drafty corner, and whispered, "How was it? Did my master give you any trouble?"

Lu Yangyang shook her head, looked at Yin Yueling, and sighed: "We don't need to be so sneaky."

"Why?" Yin Yueling's eyes widened.

Lu Yangyang said, "Because in this palace, it seems that there are no secrets at all."

King Yuechuan is the master of this palace, and he knows everything that happens in the palace, including the fact that His Highness came to see her last night.

Lu Yangyang shook her head helplessly, "It's too obvious that we're in this group."

Yin Yueling looked confused: "Is it that obvious?"

Lu Yangyang shrugged. "It's getting a bit obvious, so let's go back and talk. It's terribly cold here."
