"Ling'er, how are your injuries? Your father wanted to come see you, but the capital has been in turmoil recently, so your mother stopped him and wouldn't let your father come."

Concubine Feng sat in front of Feng Ling and spoke gently.

"Um."

Feng Ling nodded.

There was still something on his mind, and he felt inexplicably anxious. He looked at the door for a long time, but Qin Wan had not returned yet.

I don’t know what she will say when she sees Qin Ningyue out.

"The wounds have been treated. There's no danger to life. Mother, don't worry. Please go back and tell Father."

Feng Ling said.

He has always been gentle towards Concubine Feng.

"That's good. Mother heard that this assassination attempt was to kill you, with so many assassins lying in ambush... Your father was furious when he learned of your mishap and sent people to investigate thoroughly, but they found no clues. In fact, Mother knows who it was. It was none other than that person in the palace. She's the only one with such power, and she's always disliked both you and Mother."

Concubine Feng was talking about Empress Xiao. When she mentioned Empress Xiao, there was resentment and hatred in her eyes. She resented Empress Xiao for being cruel and ruthless and for harming her son like this.

She had been dealing with Empress Xiao for so many years, so she naturally knew how vicious this woman was behind the scenes. If she had not always been well protected by the Emperor of Chu, she would not have been able to stay in that palace.

Feng Ling had known this would be the outcome. None of the soldiers who died in the battle left any clues behind, and the injured survivors all committed suicide by swallowing poison.

Such a high-profile assassination would certainly not leave any clues.

"Ling'er, if Wan hadn't followed you this time, you would have been in great danger."
