Chapter 1526: Chapter 1527: Paralleled King

Now An Jing knew, and Xiao Changyi did not correct An Jing, saying that Linghe was not killed, but played to death.

He merely said indifferently, ”Evil men will be punished by heaven.” There was no need for them to act.

Seeing that Xiao Changyi still disliked Linghe so much that he didn’t want to mention Linghe again, An Jing stopped mentioning Linghe. Instead, she said, ”With the death of the Chilin Emperor, we have avenged our four children.”

Back then, the scare that their four children suffered, almost to the point of death, was something they always remembered.

”Hmm.” Although the Chilin Emperor was not personally killed by him, the fact that the Chilin Emperor died so miserably and suffered a lot before dying still filled him with satisfaction.

An Jing also thought about how the Chilin Emperor suffered quite a bit before his death and curiously asked, ”How did the Chilin Emperor get poisoned when he was perfectly fine?”

”What do you think?”

An Jing instantly understood, ”Do you mean...?”

Xiao Changyi immediately snorted, ”Who else could it be.”

”Any evidence?”

”This matter requires no evidence. It’s him, and no one else.”

”Without evidence, Chengyu won’t know. Otherwise, Chengyu would be more wary of him.”

Gong Juechen’s martial arts prowess couldn’t be hidden, but the fact that the men in black were Gong Juechen’s men and that the Chilin Emperor was actually poisoned by Gong Juechen was unknown to others; only the two of them knew.

And they two would help Gong Juechen conceal it, not letting others know, especially Su Chengyu.

”In our past lives, we must owe him!” Saying this, Xiao Changyi annoyingly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one go.

An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, ”I don’t owe him in my past life.” In her past life, in her world, she owed no one.

Hearing this, Xiao Changyi understood the meaning in An Jing’s words and immediately corrected himself, ”Then it’s me who owes him.”

An Jing instantly teased, ”Since you owe him, then you resign yourself to continue managing him, and I, having married you, will follow you in resigning myself.”

When Xiao Changyi heard this, the corners of his mouth curved up.

An Jing continued, but not in jest, rather in relief, ”Fortunately, Chengyu agreed not to kill him, no matter what he does, it won’t lead to his death, so we don’t need to worry too much.”

”Hmm.”

...

On the eighth day of September, Xiao Changyi, An Jing, and others left Yun City and returned to the Imperial Capital.

After more than three months, on December eighteenth, Xiao Changyi, as the Great General of the Extermination of Chilin, led the soldiers back in triumph, and Su Chengyu, the Emperor, personally led civil and military officials to greet them at the gates of the Imperial Capital.

Even though the weather was extremely cold and the north wind howled on this day, all the common people of the Imperial Capital took to the streets to witness this moment.

Although the sky was cold and biting, every person was filled with passion.

Not only had they avenged the humiliation of the country and avenged the Retired Emperor, but they also integrated all the former Chilin territories into Xiyun. Xiyun was now the largest of all nations, and everyone was joyful, proud, and honored.

As soon as Xiao Changyi entered the Imperial Capital, he ascended the city tower and, as the Great General of the Extermination of Chilin, reported to Su Chengyu on the city tower that they had not disappointed the Emperor’s expectations, had flattened Chilin, and returned victorious.

Su Chengyu hurriedly helped the kneeling and fist-clasping Xiao Changyi up, and once Xiao Changyi was up, he faced the 300,000 soldiers below the city tower, the full assembly of civil and military officials, the nobles, and all the citizens of the Imperial Capital, loudly declaring, ”The merits of Prince Yi are as high as the sun and moon, his fame spreads throughout the world, unmatched by anyone. From this day forward, there will no longer be a Prince Yi, but only a Paralleled King, who will share the rule of Xiyun with me.”
