In order to produce a descendant for the Ju fa often summoned commoners into the palace, therefore the appearance of Xu Yanwei did not cause a stir in the palace

Xu Yanwei’s sy the fact that the Second Prince had once tried to kill her, she took it upon herself to arrange his diet, inquire about his medications, and dis an idea into hied to the Ju fa to the Ju fa was ripe, Xu Yanwei ad

The King had already guessed that was the case, but he didn’t ers and wolves, there was no har another raptor around Perhaps it could even help hi, the assistant to the Special Envoy of the Central Plain, entered the palace fro’s request for a ht, protected by hishid frojue Te to arrive

Fayan had gained the mutual trust of both parties As soon as he arrived in the Stone Kingdo a monk His reason was, “Your Majesty has not yet obliterated your worldly desires Even if you shave your head, it will not be beneficial for you”

“The Stone Kingdo arhed, he was unable to escape his fate of being a puppet after all But these were not i of the Stone Kingdom must be someone who carries the Ju surname” He said

“There is no need for Your Majesty to be in such a hurry to abdicate Take good care of yourself and nurse your body You still have time to produce a prince Even if it’s unfortunate that you are not able to have offspring of your own, it is still up to Your Majesty to decide ill succeed the throne”

The King felt the need to state things clearly, so he added, “Dragon King should know that the Ju family is not without successors, there are still a few distant relatives around And they are of a legitis of the Gods, I will still only appoint a successor aht to succeed to the throne, and neither does her offspring as well”

Gu Shenas unable to get rid of his disgust and hatred for the monk He really wished he could resolve his differences with the monk with a saber, but he said, “The s were stolen I happened to bued to snatch it from them”

The s his eyes and reciting a feords of the sutra, he asked, “How many people were killed?”

“Twelve Three survived, but probably not for long”

“And how ?”
