Chapter 512: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Sixty-Two)

"Lord of the country!"

The king was so angry that he vomited blood. His eyes slowly closed and he lost consciousness.

Wu Lan hurried forward and felt the king's breath. His breath was weak but he was not dead yet, so she fed him a pill. However, the king was in a very bad condition and did not wake up after taking the pill. It seemed that he might never wake up.

She was depressed for a moment, and could only order her men to put away their weapons, half-kneel on the ground, and bow her head to the prince.

"Your Highness, the king deceived us this time. The Wu Clan will be loyal to you from now on."

"Hmph, Wu Lan, you're sensible! Father is just old. He faints after just a few words. It's time for him to abdicate and cultivate himself."

"The king may never wake up again."

"Then it's easy to raise him. There will always be someone to take care of him. How about this, let his most beloved son and concubine take care of him."

After hearing what the prince said, Wu Lan didn't say much. She looked at the embarrassed Third Prince and Concubine Wen. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Life will be difficult for this mother and son.

Concubine Wen hugged her son and sobbed softly. The third prince looked at the crown prince with hatred, wishing he could kill Ji Mingjie.

Wu Lan shook her head and did not sympathize with the mother and son. She had the king carried in to rest, and then followed not far behind the prince, watching him find the imperial edict of succession.

After reading the above content, the prince was so angry that he immediately burned the imperial edict.

"This old man really doesn't intend to pass on his throne to me!"

Seeing that the prince's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion, Wu Lan immediately wanted to leave the palace and return to the Wu clan, but Ji Mingjie stopped her.

"What's the hurry, Chief Lan? I've received word that Prince Lounan has arrived in Beijing and is heading straight for the palace. Prince Lounan is rebelling and plotting a rebellion. Are you leaving now to tip him off?"

"Prince, be careful with your words. The Wu Clan has not colluded with outsiders. I just have important matters to deal with back at the Wu Clan."

Ji Mingjie used the knife as a mirror to look at his face. He did not look up at Wu Lan, but the words he spoke were filled with murderous intent.

"If you haven't colluded with outsiders, then stay and watch the show."

Wu Lan saw Ji Mingjie's stubborn attitude and was afraid that if she didn't stay, the prince would investigate the Wu clan's siding with the monarch. She had no choice but to stay. By the time she returned to the Wu clan, it was too late. No matter how much she hated Ji Mingjie for forcing her to stay, it was useless.

The Wu Clan is entrenched in the Wu Valley. The three large mountains outside the Wu Valley also belong to the Wu Clan's territory. Some of the Wu Clan's affiliated tribes or some abandoned Wu Clan civilians live there. For example, there was the concubine of Prince Huai who used to be a spy for the Wu Clan, was brought into the palace by Ji Wei and Wu Lan, and died in the cold palace. She was a person who had Wu Clan blood but could only live on the periphery and could not enter the Wu Valley.

Wu Valley is the most important place for the Wu Clan. It is heavily guarded, with formations arranged in it, and there are poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts roaming around. Anyone who enters Wu Valley without permission, even if they are affiliated tribesmen or relatives of the Wu Clan, will be severely punished.

For the outsiders who cannot enter the Wu Clan, the Wu Clan is the clan they need to look up to. They are willing to be enslaved by the Wu Clan, and being able to enter the Wu Valley is their honor.

But for some who knew the truth, they wanted to stay away from Wu Valley, not wanting to become victims of witchcraft or spies for the Wu Clan. Furthermore, the Wu Clan, seeking power, loved to refine medicine, secretly capturing many people from outside. The dead medicine men were buried beneath the Wu Clan's ancestral tree as fertilizer, and the tree grew lush and leafy, with a red line running through the leaves, a blood-red tinge of eerie beauty.

Since Shuka escaped, the defense of Wugu has become stricter. Anyone who trespasses or escapes will be tortured. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the mountain people in the mountains outside Wugu will not approach Wugu. If there is something, the mountain chief will report it to Wugu layer by layer. No one will enter the territory of Wugu without Wugu's permission.

When the chiefs of the three mountains outside discovered the red light coming out of the Witch Valley, they were hesitant and did not dare to go in or think deeply about what had happened in the Witch Valley.

A mountain chief stroked his beard and said, "The Wu Clan has always been powerful and backed by the royal family. No one would invade the Wu Clan. Well, let's just pretend nothing happened. Maybe the elders inside were burning unwanted debris, and we rushed in and disturbed them. We will be tortured!"
