Meanwhile, at the palace.

Imperial study.

Emperor Jing looked at the person in front of him angrily, his eyes were dark, and the finger that was pointing at the man's forehead was shaking.

"You... you are such a bastard! You are so ignorant of your own limitations. Do you want to follow in the footsteps of King Lu?"

"Father, what are you saying? I don't understand." Chang Sun Jue's expression did not change.

"You...are you still playing dumb? Did you cause Ning Yang's death?" Emperor Jing was so angry when he heard this, "Ning Yang is your sister! You just watched her die!"

Chang Sun Jue looked at the furious Emperor Jing calmly, "Father, the emperor's sister Ningyang was killed by that eunuch. I was just a step too late to save her."

"You..." Who are you kidding! If he didn't plot against Ning Yang from the beginning, how can he explain the chance encounter between Ling Jing and Ning Yang's mother and daughter? His people must have been watching Ning Yang's every move!

"Did you also do the thing that caused the eunuch to attack Ning Yang?"

"Father," Chang Sun Jue frowned slightly, "I know I can't hide it from you. I just want to embarrass Ling Jing and the Ninth Uncle. I plotted against the Emperor Ningyang, and the eunuch who led the way was indeed my man. I originally just wanted to let the scholar meet Ling Jing by chance, but the Emperor suddenly got emotional and saw them, so I made a fuss about it."

He sighed, "I was not in the palace myself, so I really didn't know that my sister was provoked and ran out, but she ran into a pillar and fainted, and was also beaten by a little eunuch..."

"You...your people have been following her, why couldn't you save her! You clearly have...already wanted to harm Ning Yang! Even if the eunuch's incident was an accident, Ning Yang must die! Right! You bastard! Kneel down in front of me!"

Chang Sun Jue did not kneel, and even smiled, "Father, there are only you and I here. Could it be..." A murderous look flashed in his eyes, "Father, don't you want Ning Yang, a disgrace, to die?"

That's what!

Emperor Jing's eyes flashed with an unclear meaning.

Chang Sun Jue continued slowly, "Ning Yang had her tongue cut off by the Ninth Prince at the Spring Hunting Party. She might as well have been dead at the time, right? As long as she is alive, as long as she appears, others will think of her lost tongue, and will think of a princess who had her tongue cut off like that." The rest of the words were not explained, but the meaning was obvious.

Others will think of Emperor Jingdi, who was so cowardly.

I will remember that in this great scene, the Regent is the real "Son of Heaven"!

"Now that Ning Yang died like this, no one dares to mention her easily. Her death will be more memorable than her losing her tongue. Even if someone mentions Ning Yang, they will only think of her death, not her lost tongue. Father, I am truly here to share your worries."

"You...you..." Emperor Jing said the word "you" twice in a row but said nothing.

After a while, "Let's not talk about Ningyang first. How do the people in your house do things?" If you want to do useless things, why don't you do them cleanly?! It's easy for others to catch you!

This obviously refers to the two maids who gossiped about Baili Feiyue.

"Father, didn't I do a bad job? Think about it, even if I did it secretly, if the Ninth Prince wanted to investigate, he would be found sooner or later. So, I might as well just throw in those two pawns." This is called taking an unconventional approach! It's a bit dangerous, but it's useful!

He deliberately let others suspect him, and Ling Sheng really thought of his relationship with Ling Yanran and spoke in his favor.

After Uncle Ling Sheng said this, what place can he find for himself in front of the Ninth Uncle?

Whether he likes it or not, he is on the side of Emperor Jing, his father!

"Father, you just made Young Master Ling Jiu a king of a different surname, didn't you?" Didn't you seize the opportunity and make good use of it?

Emperor Jing looked at him silently for a while, and finally sighed.

His love for this son was not in vain, as he was the most like him in nature, and he was the best at guessing his thoughts and the most astute.

"I don't want to lose another son, do you understand?"

"Father, are you referring to my brother Prince Lu?"

Emperor Jing closed his eyes, then opened them after a while and said, "Prince Lu can no longer be saved. What he did in Rongcheng...just take a look..." After he finished speaking, Emperor Jing threw the memorial presented to him by Changsun Wuji's guards today into Changsun Jue's hands.

Chang Sun Jue opened it and took only a few glances.

The shock in his eyes quickly subsided, "So, Brother Lu is using living people to raise Gu, trying to change their physiques, making them more combat-capable and stronger?"

Using such crooked means to change people's power, it seems obvious what they want to do.

But, that's just how it looks.

Chang Sun Jue really didn't believe that Prince Lu would be able to rebel, considering his stupid and blockheaded personality. Even this method of changing a person's physical strength didn't seem like something Prince Lu could come up with.

A gleam of light flashed in Changsun Jue's eyes, but it was covered by his drooping eyelids.

"Father, since the Ninth Prince has already intervened in Brother Lu's matter, it would be most appropriate to directly announce it to the world and deal with it."

Emperor Jing closed his eyes for a while, then said in a sad tone, "You go and do this."

"yes."

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Alright, go down, I'm tired."

"Yes. I will take my leave now."

Just as Chang Sun Jue was about to leave, Emperor Jing's voice came, "Ling Jing, is it true that you are not perfect?"

Chang Sun Jue's eyes flickered. "The people in the General's Mansion told me with certainty that she is indeed not a perfect woman."

Emperor Jing pondered, "Did the bandits do it?"

"I don't know about this."

Chang Sun Jue looked at Emperor Jing, "I, your son, also have something to ask you, Father. Was the Ninth Prince...really born a eunuch?"

Hearing this, the pain of losing a son and a daughter that Emperor Jing had suffered recently was relieved, and he finally felt better. The smile on his face even looked compassionate, but his words were full of contempt and ridicule, "How do you think my eldest brother, the late emperor, died? What kind of hatred could wash the entire palace with blood?"

Although he didn't explain, Chang Sun Jue was already certain of something in his heart. "I will take my leave."

Emperor Jing waved his hand, and after Changsun Jue left, Emperor Jing looked at the door of the imperial study with darkness and horror in his eyes.

For the throne, there is nothing he would not give up!

Whether it's a daughter or a son!

Anything!

The next day.

At the General's Mansion, Baili Feiyue left the mansion early in the morning with Suyi Xiuhuan and Ling Duannian.

As soon as they arrived at the street, people around saw the Ling Mansion's sedan chair and looked over curiously.

"Who is in this sedan? Could it be Master Ling Jiu?"

"What Ling Jiu Gongzi? Didn't you see the imperial edict? Ling Jiu Gongzi was made a king of a different surname. He even has a title. From now on, he will be His Royal Highness Prince Ning. That means he is a prince!"

"I wonder what Master Ling Jiu looks like..."

"The emperor has already named him a king of a different surname, so he can't be a jerk, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. How can a person who has been ill for more than ten years be expected to look better?"

Obviously, what happened at the Qionglin Banquet yesterday was kept secret, and the secret was kept quite tight. Therefore, ordinary people outside had no idea what Ling Duannian looked like.

In the sedan chair, Baili Feiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Ling Duannian, then gently kicked him with her foot, "Come on, Master Ling Jiu, go out and show yourself."

Ling Duannian meowed aggrievedly, "Sister wants to use me, and she is so unkind."
