Chapter 66: Great achievements shock the master

The news was brought by someone from the Empress Dowager's Palace. There was only news, but no trace of Ling Xueyao's body.

"The Empress Dowager has decreed that Ling Xueyao, a convicted criminal, committed suicide out of shame. This is truly unlucky, and therefore her body may not be brought into the capital. She will be buried directly in a public cemetery outside the capital."

The so-called charity graves are mass graves.

There are bones everywhere and weeds growing everywhere, and wild dogs often appear. It makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Ruan Yiyu couldn't get out, so she could only beg Ling Rui, "General, please go and bring our Yao'er back."

"How can our Yao'er be buried in that cemetery?"

Ling Rui also loves Ling Xueyao. In his heart, Ling Xueyao may be the first daughter born with his expectations.

"Mammy, can I bury my son in the cemetery I bought..."

Mammy looked at Ling Rui with a half-smile, "General Ling, isn't the Empress Dowager's decree clear enough?"

"Besides, if we bury the two Miss Lings together, isn't General Ling afraid that they will continue to kill each other in the underworld?"

"This is not good for your Ling family, right?"

"It's not easy for General Ling to get to where he is today..."

Ling Rui looked puzzled when he heard this. It was indeed not easy to get to where he is today.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Rui accepted Rong Ruxiang's order, "Ling Rui thanks the Queen Mother for her grace."

His daughter died and was buried in a mass grave, and he still had to express his gratitude.

Ruan Yiyu was filled with sadness, "General..."

Ling Rui looked at her impatiently, with a warning in his eyes, "Why don't you thank me quickly?"

It was because of the shameful things they did on the day of the banquet that the current series of consequences occurred.

He had forgotten that he was also happy to see it happen in the first place.

Now he is just a sixth-rank general and is not even qualified to attend court.

He could only wait until the spring, when the emperor, if there was no one else available, would appoint him to garrison at the border of Dahe. Then there would be a possibility of reinstating his official position.

But... I heard that General Liu went to court today with good health, and said that he had received a magic medicine from Princess Wanyue, and his old injuries were getting better. He even declared that when he was well again, he would go to the border of Dahe to garrison and relieve the worries of the emperor and the court.

General Liu was his old superior, his mentor, and someone he admired and respected.

If General Liu could return to the battlefield, he would definitely be able to curb Da He's arrogance.

But if that happened, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to return to the border of Dahe.

If he could only be a sixth-rank general forever, then... he must not offend the empress dowager.

Seeing his firm attitude, Ruan Yiyu had no choice but to express her gratitude, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

But what she was thinking... No one knew, but the dejection on her face could be seen at a glance.

Ling Chan put down her glasses and decided to keep trying...

At night, she still wore a thin white gown, her face painted pale, and to make her eyes more terrifying, she also wore a pair of red contact lenses.

After carrying the individual flying vehicle on her back, her figure became light and strange, floating in the air, as if she would disappear into the air at any time.

As for her voice, she specifically asked Gong Lan about it, and she found out that Gong Lele's voice was lively and playful.

She first imitated Gong Lele's voice and laughed softly. In the dark night, the playful voice seemed to come from another world, making people feel thrilling and terrified.

Ruan Yiyu in the house was originally immersed in the grief of Ling Xueyao's death. When she thought of her daughter's body piled together with those ownerless bones, and even being dragged away by wild dogs, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

The night frights she had suffered in recent days made her feel uneasy and frightened.

But combined with her current emotions, it actually made her feel...angry and...annoyed.

Ruan Yiyu stood up, walked to the window angrily, and pushed it open.

There was no one outside the window. She gritted her teeth and said, "Gong Lele, is that you?"

"Don't you just want revenge?"

"Now that Yao'er and Hui'er are dead, are you satisfied?"

Ling Chan was floating in the air, very surprised by Ruan Yiyu's reaction.

A few days ago, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe. What happened today? Could it be that Ling Xueyao's death caused her to explode?

Great, as long as her mood fluctuates, there's a chance...

Ling Chan's laughter grew louder and louder, and her figure slowly descended from mid-air.

The pale face looked even more distorted under the blatant green light, and the scarlet eyeballs seemed to be bloodshot.

As it flew in front of Ruan Yiyu at an extremely fast speed, the smoke bomb on the ground began to emit white smoke again...

Wherever the smoke went, everything became blurry.

Ruan Yiyu's scalp went numb instantly, and she took several steps back and fell to the ground again.

But this time, she refused to give in and quickly stood up.

Although she didn't dare to go close to the window, she dared to stare at Ling Chan.

"Gong Lele, you're already dead!" Ruan Yiyu reminded her, "You've been dead for more than ten years."

"Then why did you show up?"

"What do you want to do?"

Ling Chan deliberately flew several rounds in front of the window because she had a single-person flying vehicle and her flying was against Ruan Yiyu's knowledge.

"Gong Lele." Ruan Yiyu's eyes followed Ling Chan's figure, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Yes, I drugged you."

"Who told you to snatch Ling Rui away? We knew each other first, and he promised me that he would marry me after he achieved success."

"Why should you be able to marry her without any effort?"

Ling Chan was still imitating Gong Lele's laughter, but she was already shocked in her heart.

So, the letter sent from the capital to the border was indeed written by Ruan Yiyu. Ling Rui and Ruan Yiyu knew each other and were in love before...

"But you know what?"

"I'm not the only one who wants you dead."

"That's not right." She changed her words after saying this, "I should say that I want you to die, but someone wants you to die even more."

"Hahahaha." Ruan Yiyu laughed with her head tilted back, tears streaming down her face. "Gong Lele, the Marquis of Zhenbei, holds the military talisman in his sleeve..."

"Beautiful, intelligent, skilled in martial arts, able to predict the enemy's movements, fluent in poetry and writing, a master of both civil and military arts..."

"You and your female soldiers conquered Dahe, suppressed bandits in Dingzhou, quelled the rebellion in Lanzhou, and aided Dongli at the Leizhou border... You have accumulated countless merits, and at such a young age, you were granted the title of Marquis of Zhenbei..."

"You gallop across the battlefield, quelling rebellions and repelling enemies... But have you ever considered what kind of identity and rights you would have if you were still alive?"

"So-called achievements that shock the master..."

"Haha." Ruan Yiyu looked up at the moon outside...

At this time, the nanny, Zhilan and other maids in her yard were awakened by Ling Chan's laughter and her voice.

Everyone came out rubbing their eyes and heard her words.

"The one who wants you dead is not only me, but also the one in the palace."

"That kind-looking... Empress Dowager!"

"Hahaha..."
