Chapter 63 Ling Xueyao is imprisoned

"Similar! Really similar!" Liu Hong's eyes were dazed when he saw Ling Chan.

After a while, he came back to his senses and began to carefully examine Ling Chan. "She's just too thin. She's completely unrecognizable."

"Quick, sit down." Liu Hong gestured to Liu Huaiyu, "Huaiyu, quick, sit down with the princess."

Liu Huaiyu put his arm around Ling Chan and let her sit in the seat closest to Liu Hong, while he sat next to Ling Chan.

"Oh..." Liu Hong let out a long sigh as Ling Chan sat down.

"Ever since your mother passed away, I thought you were recuperating in the Ling Mansion, but I didn't expect there were so many secrets."

"Ling Rui..."

Liu Hong sighed and didn't continue.

"Princess, how is your health now?" he asked.

Ling Chan's body is no longer in bad condition due to the nourishment of the space pool water, but she just can't gain weight for the time being.

"Don't worry, General. I'm fine now."

"That's great." Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.

But when he thought of Ling Rui, Liu Hong's expression was indescribable, "I didn't expect your father to be so unreliable."

Ling Chan just smiled and changed the subject, "General, I came here this time because I have something to ask you."

"Is it about your mother?" Liu Hong guessed.

"Hongdou, let them in."

Hongdou walked out and called Gong Lan and Gong Yu outside.

The two men saluted Liu Hong and said, "Greetings, General Liu."

Liu Hong was stunned when he saw the two people, but he quickly called out their names, "Gong Lan? Gong Yu?"

"It's you." After being surprised, Liu Hong understood a little, "It's you who helped the princess."

"Where have you been all these years?" Liu Hong asked.

Gong Lan just said it was hard to explain, and then asked the question she wanted to ask.

"General Liu, back then at the border, my master and Ling Rui had an argument. Fortunately, you comforted him and they reconciled."

"May I ask General Liu, do you know why?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Liu Hong looked at Ling Chan, "Princess, is this what you wanted to ask?"

Ling Chan simply nodded, "General, when Ling Chan was bullied by my stepmother and step-sisters in the Ling Mansion, I always hoped that my father would save me from the dire situation. However, my father ignored me for more than ten years..."

"General, Ling Chan wants to find out the reason behind this."

Seeing Ling Chan's sad expression, Liu Hong couldn't bear it, "Child, it's over... He is your father after all."

Ling Chan lowered her eyes. It turned out that such remarks existed in both modern times and this era.

"General, just because he is my father, can everything he did be forgiven?" Ling Chan slowly raised her eyes and looked at Liu Hong and asked.

"When he allowed others to bully me, did he ever consider that I was his daughter after all?"

Liu Hong was silent.

Liu Huaiyu looked at Liu Hong awkwardly, then at Ling Chan, and exchanged a glance with Hongdou...

"Back then...your father received a letter from the capital." Liu Hong spoke slowly.

"At that time, they often handled military affairs together and discussed battle strategies, so the soldier who delivered the letter placed it on your mother's desk."

"That letter was sent from a woman in the capital."

"Who is it?" Ling Chan asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Liu Hong shook his head.

"Your mother is a woman of principle. Since the letter was for your father, why would she open it?"

"Your father also said he didn't know who sent the letter, and that he only had your mother in his heart."

"Then your mother ignored your father for several days. Your father was distracted on the battlefield, which was very dangerous."

"With this in mind, I consoled your mother."

Ling Chan frowned. General Liu didn't know who sent the letter.

"Your father was from Pingzhou. His family was poor. To make a living, he worked for a local escort agency, and that's how he learned some self-defense skills."

"Later, when I passed through Pingzhou and was recruiting soldiers, he joined the army."

"He slowly rose to the rank of deputy general with his own strength. It was at this time that he had the opportunity to follow me to the capital."

"Before he met your mother, he had only been to the capital twice. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to have any relationship with any woman in the capital."

"That's what I told your mother back then."

Ling Chan looked at Gong Lan and Gong Yu. Could it be that the letter didn't mean anything?

"Princess, ever since I learned about your true situation in the Ling Mansion, I have been very upset."

"But after all, this is a matter in the backyard of the Ling Mansion. It's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere."

"As for why your father...I can't figure it out either."

"But your father is a good general. He cares about the people and the court..."

"Over the years... although I haven't defeated Da He, I haven't lost badly either, which is already pretty good."

"Daqi can't live without him."

Liu Hong knew too well how difficult it was to fight against Daha. Daha had a strong army and his soldiers were brave and good at fighting. Daqi was always at a disadvantage in every bloody battle with him.

Ling Chan knew that Liu Hong had already figured out what happened yesterday. In fact, most of the ladies who were present yesterday knew about it.

The plan was indeed by Ruan Yiyu and Qiu Lan, but the reason why it failed must have been due to Ling Chan's handiwork.

It is easy to guess the purpose of Ling Chan doing this, which is to take revenge on the bullying she suffered from the Ling family.

So Liu Hong was advising her not to retaliate too harshly against Ling Rui, because the court still needed Ling Rui to go to the border to fight Da He.

"General Liu, don't you want to go to the border of Dahe in person and take back the Tiger Talisman?"

"Hahaha." Liu Hong laughed and admitted frankly, "Of course I do. Why not?"

"I often say that if it weren't for so many old injuries, I would have fought Da He for another twenty years."

Ling Chan glanced at Gong Lan, "What kind of injury did General Liu have? Gong Lan has been traveling around the martial arts world for many years and has many magical herbs on hand. Perhaps she can help the general."

Gong Lan touched the back of her ear, feeling a little guilty.

Liu Hong was already looking at her at this time, with surprise in his eyes. It was obvious that he really wanted to return to the battlefield.

"Really?"

"I have suffered countless wounds from knives and swords, some of which have injured my heart and lungs. Now I can no longer handle a knife or a gun."

"Also, I have cold symptoms. My legs and feet become numb when it gets cold..."

Ling Chan looked at Gong Lan again, and Gong Lan understood, "General Liu, your injuries are easy to treat."

"Really?" Liu Hong was very surprised. Even the imperial physician could not cure his injury.

"I will deliver the elixir in the afternoon. General Liu will just need to take it according to the instructions I attached." Gong Lan said in a very serious manner.

Liu Hong excitedly stood up by holding onto his chair. "Really? That's great."

"If my old wound can be healed, I will ask the Emperor for permission to personally go to the border of Dahe and confront the Dahe troops once the spring arrives."

Liu Hong was in a good mood and wanted to invite Ling Chan to have lunch at his house, but Ling Chan refused on the grounds that she had something to do at home.

After returning to the Ling Mansion, Ling Chan ran into Ruan Yiyu as soon as she entered the door.

Ruan Yiyu had completely lost her usual refined appearance at this moment. Her hair and clothes were messy, and her makeup was smudged.

"Ling Chan!" She shouted Ling Chan's name hysterically, and her momentum seemed as if she wanted to eat Ling Chan alive.

"Are you satisfied?" She stared at Ling Chan, her eyes bloodshot. "Now Hui'er is dead, and Yao'er has been imprisoned by the Queen Mother. Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?"

It seems that Nanny Qu returned to the palace and told the Queen Mother about the matter, and the Queen Mother sent someone over.

"You are the one who deserves to die, why is it my Huier?" Ruan Yiyu's mood was very unstable now. When she said this, she bent her hands into claws and pounced towards Ling Chan.

Ling Chan dodged by just turning sideways, and Ruan Yiyu fell directly to the ground.

She raised her upper body from the ground and looked back at Ling Chan, "I shouldn't have let you, a bastard, be born..."

Ling Chan was startled. What did this mean?
