“Lord Mo…” Ling Yongnian said in a gentle voice, “I have top-grade repair pills and will also use my own spiritual power to help you repair your dantian. I will not plead for my eldest brother, but only because I cannot bear to see your first genius girl perish.”
Hearing these touching words, Mo Yunzhao only gave a cold laugh, "Ling Yongnian, you're not qualified!"
Ling Yongnian stepped forward, "Lord Mo..."
A cold glint came toward the top of his head. Ling Yongnian quickly dodged to the side and knocked the incoming hidden weapon away.
Ling Yongqing, who was tied up, screamed and was forced to use his spiritual power to follow. He managed to avoid having his neck broken, but he still bumped and bruised himself.
Princess Ning'an watched the carriage disappear into the dust, then looked up at Ling Yongnian and asked, "Third Brother, have you offended Lord Mo?"
Ling Yongnian's gentle face was also full of doubt. "No, this is the first time we've met. Is it because I'm going to plead for my eldest brother?"
A glare stung his eyes.
Looking down, he saw a cherry-red plum blossom-shaped hair accessory and bent down to pick it up.
She rubbed her hair ornaments with her fingertips, looked up at the direction the carriage had left, and her gentle eyes were unfathomable.
"Third Imperial Brother."
The sound, like dripping ice water, startled Ling Yongnian. He looked up and saw Ling Jingyu, and quickly bowed, saying, "Your subject greets the Crown Prince."
Ling Jingyu: "I thought my third brother had forgotten that I was still alive."
Ling Yongnian knelt down in fear, "Your Majesty, I dare not. I was just concerned about my elder brother and forgot to pay my respects. Please punish me."
"Give it to me." Ling Jingyu held out his hand to him.
Ling Yongnian looked up, puzzled.
Ling Jingyu's peach blossom eyes suddenly turned icy. "Her hair ornaments."
Ling Yongnian hurriedly presented the plum blossom hair ornament that he had just picked up from the ground with both hands.
Ling Jingyu took the hair ornament, took out a silk handkerchief, and carefully wiped it, as if it had been poisoned by his touch.
"Disrespectful to your elder brother and to me, kneel for four hours."
Ling Yongnian: "Yes."
Ling Jingyu glanced down at him and said, "Overestimating yourself."
"Brother Crown Prince..."
Princess Ning'an wanted to plead for him, but Ling Jingyu had already ridden away. She glanced at him helplessly.
"Third brother, you know that the Crown Prince is not easy to talk to."
Ling Yongnian smiled gently, "It's alright, it was my fault to begin with, so I deserve to be punished."
Eunuch Xi glanced at it and then returned to the palace to report, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has been punished by the Crown Prince to kneel for four hours."
Emperor Yanwu lowered his head and gave a deep "hmm," saying, "I understand."
Kneel down, and that will stop those damned ministers from having any more crooked thoughts about establishing a new crown prince.
Ling Jing rode his horse and followed the carriage, but did not get any closer. He simply followed slowly beside the carriage.
Mo Yunlan lifted the curtain and looked out, then said to Mo Yunzhao, "The Crown Prince is following us outside."
The pervasive medicinal fragrance irritated Mo Yunzhao. "Ignore it."
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the First Prince's residence.
The crowd was shocked, and the guards drew their swords and surrounded them, shouting, "Release the Crown Prince!"
Ling Jingyu lowered his eyes. "Ling Yongqing has been demoted to a commoner."
The guards all knelt down in unison, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Mo Yunzhao rested his elbow on the car window and said softly, "Ling Yongqing, please exchange the engagement tokens."
The rope was tied around Ling Yongqing's neck, and several times when he was too slow to run, it almost strangled him to death.
Now he's lost all his former elegance and noble demeanor; he's just a pathetic mess, looking like a madman.
