It was midnight when Jiang Mohan and Ye Linger returned to the Snake Palace.

The two left quietly, and when they returned to the palace, there were countless ministers and elders guarding the door.

Among them, Jiang Chen was also inside.

Ye Linger turned her gaze away, and saw Jiang Chen's gloomy expression.

That appearance was only for a moment, and when Ye Linger's eyes were on him, it disappeared completely, replaced by that gentle and jade-like appearance.

He smiled and stepped forward, "Brother Wang, I heard that you have gone to the north. I wonder if you have gained anything in the north."

Jiang Mohan sneered in his heart, but there was nothing unusual on his face.

"Nothing."

"Then I don't know why Brother Wang is going to the north this time. Why don't you tell me so that we can give Brother Wang advice."

As soon as these words came out, it hit Jiang Mohan's arms.

He snorted coldly, took a step forward, and looked Jiang Chen up and down before speaking without any emotion.

"Last time, this king asked you to go to the north to discuss with the demon clan in the north, whether it is possible to make a place for the snake clan to live, but you killed all the wolf clan members in the name of this king, but what happened? !"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, and smiled a little forcedly.

"Brother Wang, there is a misunderstanding, brother..."

"Also, the diva who came to assassinate this king was not a diva, but a wolf princess who came to seek revenge on you, but you killed her with my hands. This is the truth!"

Hearing Jiang Mohan's words, Jiang Chen's expression turned ugly.

Now he is riding a tiger.

If he admits it, then with Jiang Mohan's way of thinking, he will definitely put the fact that the wolf princess was murdered and silenced on him.

If he didn't admit it, Jiang Mohan had already gone to the north, and he might have found something.

He looked away from Jiang Mohan, with self-blame on his face.

"Brother Wang, I don't know that she is a princess. The wolf clan has a large population. When I went there that day, I only saw the king of the wolf clan. As for who the princess is, I really don't know.

The death of the wolf king had nothing to do with my younger brother. The second day my younger brother met him, I heard that the wolf king had died. "

Jiang Mo coldly hooked his lips, "In this way, the death of the wolf king really has nothing to do with you."

"Your brother dare not tell a lie, what you say is true."

Jiang Mohan took a deep look at him, then flicked his sleeves and looked away.

"Since that's the case, let's all go back to the palace. You have worked hard to welcome me here tonight. Go back and rest."

After hearing Jiang Mohan's words, everyone bowed down one after another.

"Yes, I will take my leave."

As soon as they left, Jiang Mohan took Ye Linger back to the study.

As soon as the two stepped into the study, Jiang Mohan's demeanor became extremely indifferent.

He flicked his sleeves and turned to look at Jiang Shen, his face as black as coal.

"Who told them that the king has gone to the north!"

Jiang Shen knelt down immediately, raised his hand to wipe his forehead, his shoulders trembled violently.

"Back to the king, I don't know who sent the news."

"Hmph! This king asked you to guard in the palace, and this is how you guard? You don't even know who spread the news!"

"Your Majesty, slave..."

Before Jiang Shen finished speaking, Duan Yao came in from the outside.

He glanced at Ye Ling'er, raised his hands up, and bent slightly.

"Going back to the king, before the princess left, she asked the servant to keep an eye on Miss Bai. The news that you are going to the north is from Miss Bai."

Jiang Mohan raised his eyebrows, "How did Bai Yuhan know that we went to the north?"

"I don't know about this slave, but it's also Miss Bai's news that you are back."

Jiang Mohan took off the wrench on his finger and played with it in his hand.

Hearing Duan Yao's words, when he exerted force on his hand, the wrench finger shattered into powder.

"It seems that there is indeed no way to keep father's people in this palace."

After he said such words, he stared at the front, his eyes were dim, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Jiang Mohan waved his hand, "Go down, it's time for the king to rest."

"Yes."

Ye Ling'er also wanted to go out with Jiang Shen and the two of them.

She had just taken two steps when Jiang Mohan grabbed her wrist.

She turned around and met Jiang Mohan's displeased gaze.

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to the palace and rest."

"Is there no place for you to rest here?"

Ye Linger blinked, which means...

"I rest here?"

"Well. From today on, you will rest in this king's bedroom."

"I'm not used to it."

Jiang Mohan was taken aback and sighed.

"Then you go back first. I will go to your dormitory in the future. After a few days, you will move here for a long time. If you are not by my side, I will always worry."

Ye Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently.

"it is good."

As soon as she agreed, Jiang Mohan bent over and picked her up and walked out.

He passed Jiang Shen and Duan Yao, walking very steadily step by step.

Jiang Shen and Duan Yao looked at each other in dismay, so surprised that their eyeballs almost fell off.

This king, there are times when he is so gentle.

The two stood at the door of the study, unable to recover for a while.

The next day, Ye Ling'er woke up and found that there were many more guards in her palace.

The guards held their swords and patrolled outside her bedroom wave after wave.

Ye Linger was a little puzzled, "Le Ping, what's going on?"

"Back to the princess, the king issued an imperial decree this morning, and the place where the princess is in the future will be the place where the guards will focus on protecting."

As Le Ping spoke, he straightened his back proudly, the expression on his face made Ye Linger roll her eyes.

"Okay, has Mengzhu returned to the palace, I miss her a little."

When Ye Linger said this, Le Ping seemed a little embarrassed.

She raised her hand and scratched her head, bit her lip before opening her mouth slowly.

"Princess, Meng Zhu hasn't entered the palace recently, the Shen family seems to be very busy."

Ye Linger couldn't help frowning, "Busy?"

"Ah."

Hearing what Le Ping said, Ye Linger didn't care too much, and took her out of the palace.

What is different today is that she is followed by a large group of guards.

Those guards with three floors inside and three floors outside will surround the guards inside.

Ye Ling'er was not used to having so many people following her suddenly.

When she came to Shen Yang's house, she saw many people in Shen Yang's house.

Those people seemed to have been seriously injured, lying on the ground one after another, clutching their wounds and crying.

And Meng Zhu and Shen Yang are busy treating them.

Ye Linger was shocked, "What's the matter?"

"Back to Wangfei, there was a plague in another village recently, and they came here to take refuge."

"plague?"

"Well. The plague started to prevail before you went to the north, and it hasn't receded until now."

"So serious?"

"Yes, this plague is extremely serious. Duan Yao even took action himself, but it was of no avail."

"Follow me to that village to have a look."

"Yes."

Ye Linger followed Leping to the village where the plague was prevalent, and saw that the village was so desolate that it didn't look like anyone had lived there.

Looking around, there was thick smoke everywhere, and howling was everywhere.
