Chapter 334 The King with Deeply Sinful Deeds
Feng Xiang is right, he is indeed a traitor to Fengqi Kingdom, but if he steals back the jade pendant, he can not only clear his name, but also gain Feng Xiang's trust.
After all, Feng Xiang's belief was that what did it matter if he sacrificed himself for the sake of the country and its people?
"it is good!"
After a long while, the boy slowly raised his head, his clear eyes filled with determination.
Feng Xiang smiled and said, "Go and make your preparations first. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to the border town."
"Ah."
Yang Ling nodded and stepped outside.
He had just taken a step when Feng Xiang's abrupt voice came from behind him: "By the way, A-Ling, I have guests visiting tonight, and I don't want you to bother me. If you're willing to behave, I might consider letting you stay."
Yang Ling stopped in his tracks, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
He didn't like any of Fengxiang's concubines, but they all had children, making it impossible for him to refuse them.
So even though he didn't love them, he reluctantly married these women.
The subtext of Fengxiang's words was clearly a warning to him: if any man came tonight, he would not be allowed to stay overnight in Fengxiang's palace.
Yang Ling gave a mocking smile, turned around, and walked away without looking at Feng Xiang again.
Feng Xiang watched Yang Ling's departing figure, then snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Someone come here," Feng Xiang called to the maid who was standing by, and instructed, "Go and invite the madam over."
"Yes, sir."
The maidservant hurriedly retreated, and not long after, a graceful and elegant woman entered, gentle and dignified, beautiful and poised.
“Master,” Madam Liu walked to Fengxiang’s side with a gentle smile, “You were looking for me?”
Feng Xiang nodded: "Liu Shi, go and investigate how A Ling came to Fengqi Kingdom?"
Madam Liu paused, then asked in confusion, "Master, why did you suddenly bring up A-Ling? Wasn't A-Ling sold by me before coming to Fengqi Kingdom? Could it be..."
“Liu Shi,” Feng Xiang interrupted Liu Shi, his expression grave, “Go and investigate A Ling’s background.”
Liu's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.
She looked up in disbelief, her eyes filled with confusion.
Fengxiang seemed to have guessed what Liu was thinking, and his tone was bitter: "I suspect that A-Ling was not sold by you. Think about it carefully. A-Ling has been weak and sickly since birth, so why did you abandon him in the border town and let him suffer alone?"
Madam Liu trembled, her face growing even paler: "Master, do you suspect that A-Ling isn't my biological daughter?"
"Or rather, A-Ling isn't my biological child at all!" Feng Xiang sneered.
Liu shook her head in a panic: "No, A-Ling is definitely my child, I don't believe he wasn't born to me!"
She lived her whole life by Fengxiang's side, so how could she not be her child?
But Fengxiang's statement must mean he has sensed something...
Feng Xiang sighed: "During this time, I sent people to investigate A Ling's mother. She died a few years ago, but I still feel that A Ling and I look too alike."
Liu's hands trembled slightly, and she felt a vague sense of fear in her heart.
If that's really the case...
Ah Ling, how should we face this truth?
"No, I have to find A-Ling and get to the bottom of this!" Liu's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth. "We've been husband and wife for so many years, how can I bear to let others bully him? I don't care if A-Ling is my biological son or not, even if it's just an act, I'm willing to take care of A-Ling for the rest of my life!"
Feng Xiang frowned slightly. He was about to stop her when he saw that Madam Liu had already rushed out quickly.
He hurriedly followed behind, trying to catch up, but Liu ran too fast and disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye. He could only stand there and sigh, a look of sorrow flashing between his brows.
……
The night was hazy.
Inside the Yang family's courtyard, Yang Ling lay quietly on a bamboo couch, the moonlight bathing him.
"Your Highness, the person you asked me to find has been brought."
Yang Yu respectfully cupped his fists in greeting.
Yang Ling got up from the bamboo couch, looked up at the girl in green kneeling beside Yang Yu, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where is the woman I asked you to find?"
"Your Highness, I happened to encounter that woman on the way and brought her here for your review. However, she... was unwilling to come with me, so I had no choice but to forcibly drag her here."
Yang Ling's expression shifted between light and dark. After a long while, she finally asked, "What's her name?"
“She claims to be Miss Qin,” Yang Yu paused, then continued, “It is said that Miss Qin is a princess of Liuyun Kingdom, who fled Liuyun Kingdom because she committed a serious crime.”
“Oh, that makes me very interested,” Yang Ling stroked his chin. “Since she is a princess, she must know my father.”
Yang Yu silently shut his mouth; he knew what His Highness wanted to do.
Unfortunately, this Miss Qin's fate was tragic; she was saddled with a ruthless person like Consort Qin.
"You should step back first."
Yang Ling waved his hand and said calmly.
Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to take his leave.
After Yang Yu left, Yang Ling jumped off the bed, pushed open the door, and went out.
Qin Chen remained seated under the shade of the tree, his slender fingers holding the wine pot, taking a small sip of wine, his eyes lowered.
He listened intently and heard footsteps approaching from afar, eventually stopping beside him.
The man froze for a moment, then quickly resumed his composure, exuding elegance and a captivatingly handsome yet wicked charm.
"Have you finished taking care of everything?"
Yang Ling raised an eyebrow: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
“No,” the man shook his head, his voice flat.
Yang Ling shrugged, picked up the wine glass on the table, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp: "I came back this time not just to participate in the war between the Tianyu Empire and Dongyue, but also to eliminate the traitors for my father and find my sister along the way!"
Who do you want to kill?
"My father!"
A cold glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes.
He would never forget that three years ago, he almost died by Feng Xiang's sword. If someone hadn't saved him, he would probably be dead by now.
"Your father... he's very powerful?" The man frowned slightly.
“His martial arts skills are indeed superb, but his greatest strength lies in strategy. In a one-on-one fight, he might not even be able to defeat you. However, he is, after all, the current emperor. I need to rely on the power of the entire Tianyu Empire to win!”
"what do you mean……"
I want to use you!
Yang Ling narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and smiled faintly, "How about we cooperate?"
"I'll help you find your sister, and you help me find my enemy!"
The man hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his thin lips: "Deal."
……
Feng Ruqing stood under the pavilion, gazing at the departing figures of the two people, a deep light flashing in her eyes.
She turned to look at Yang Yu beside her, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Princess, who is that young master?" Yang Yu stared blankly at the departing figure and asked, puzzled.
"That's my brother."
