Chapter 242: Clarifying the Rumors

Ling Changyue took the initiative to speak, his tone was somewhat tentative.

"I don't know when the princess got pregnant. The uncle really kept it

a secret and made all of us suffer." Ling Fengxun laughed in front of everyone and said, "I asked someone to tell my fortune, and they said that the princess' pregnancy was hard-won and the fetus was unstable. We must not let the news out, otherwise we will inevitably encounter danger. Therefore, I did not make it public. I hope you can understand."

The ministers below immediately showed an expression of understanding: "I understand, the prince did this for the princess and the child. Now the princess gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus safely

, which is a good result." What fortune-telling is just an excuse Ling Fengxun made up.

He was telling everyone that he knew what others were thinking.

Ling Changyue naturally heard the hidden meaning of Ling Fengxun.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Ever since he helped An Ruxue escape from the palace, thus exposing his spies who had been hiding for many years, Ling Fengxun has cleared out all the spies in the palace.

Therefore, he became almost the last person in the court to know the news.

What a irony, how ridiculous!

"My uncle got married to me on the same day, and now it's less than a year, and the child has been born. I really admire him."

He paused, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone: "It can be seen that the rumors that my uncle was ill and infertile were all lies?"

Ling Fengxun wanted to clarify these rumors in public today.

Even if not for himself, he had to think about the reputation of his own princess.

He had prepared for such a long time to conceal the fact that An Yunxi was pregnant before marriage, just for today, to maintain her good reputation.

Although it would not matter if the truth was known by others, Ling Fengxun could not bear An Yunxi to suffer the slightest grievance.

If in the future when she came into contact with those gossipy ladies in the court, some people would gossip about her behind her back, he would be unhappy.

It happened that the little emperor brought it up.

"Your Majesty, rumors are just rumors. You must not believe them without solid evidence. As for why the princess gave birth to a child less than a year ago, everyone in the palace knows this. The princess was not feeling well after she became pregnant with twins, so she has been recuperating at home for such a long time without stepping out of her room. Yesterday's delivery was extremely dangerous, and because of premature birth, the children are weak. I'm afraid they will need a lot of precious medicinal materials to nurse for many years before they can get better."

It was rare for Ling Fengxun to explain so much in front of all the officials.

However, what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and there was no difference from what everyone had found out.

These words only revealed one piece of information.

The child was born prematurely, and was his own.

Explaining it clearly would also prevent countless people who didn't know how to read his expression from coming over and making up stories and accusing him of something.

Ling Fengxun raised the corners of his lips, and then added in public: "I have made it clear today. If anyone dares to talk about this matter behind my back and say bad things about the princess and my heir, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Of course not, don't worry, Your Majesty. The cause and effect of this matter are so clear, who dares to make up rumors at will?"

"That's right! Your Majesty is blessed with a pair of dragon and phoenix twins!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, I hope the young master and the young lady can be safe and healthy, and live a long life!"

The atmosphere below instantly became lively.

Ling Changyue's few questions not only did not let Ling Fengxun reveal any flaws and loopholes, but also completely saved An Yunxi's reputation.

But he is not stupid.

An Yunxi couldn't have given birth prematurely.

Otherwise, how could the palace have been so well prepared if she gave birth two or three months

early? In other words, the two had been together long before they got married.

Ling Changyue's breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes were slightly red. He remembered the day when he came to the palace to look for An Yunxi on his wedding day.

The marks on her body were from that night!

His mind was buzzing, and he realized that it was he who personally sent his fiancée to the bed of the emperor's uncle.

That night should have belonged to him .

Ling Changyue fell into deep thought, but Ling Fengyan's eyes suddenly became cold.

"It seems that the emperor is very satisfied with the marriage between the two countries, and this king is very relieved."

Since Ling Changyue has already asked him, now it is his turn to ask.

Ling Changyue came back to his senses, raised his eyes with a calm expression, and looked at Ling Fengxun: "I didn't expect that I could get along so well with Mei'er. After a long talk last night, I have already developed feelings for her."

Xu Mei'er showed a bit of shyness on her face.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to serve Your Majesty in the future."

Last night, the two had reached a consensus.

He gave her the prince she wanted, and she borrowed the power of the Southern Qi Kingdom to help him deal with the Regent Ling Fengxun!

Because the Regent's child was born, Ling Changyue felt a strong crisis, and now, his own strength alone is not enough.

The entire Beiling Kingdom's imperial city has fallen into Ling Fengxun's hands. His few men have long been closely watched, and any movement cannot be hidden from Ling Fengxun's eyes.

He brought Xu Meir to the palace with the purpose of telling Ling Fengxun that he now has the support of the Nanqi Kingdom behind him, and he can no longer be easily moved.

Ling Fengxun showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he had no interest in his little tricks.

"The child still needs someone to take care of him. The king will not attend the court these days. If there is anything important, the emperor can send someone to inform the king."

While speaking, he stood up and strode out with some boredom.

The effect of clarifying An Yunxi's reputation today has been achieved, so there is no need for him to stay here and be hypocritical.

Suddenly, Ling Changyue shouted.

"Uncle, I want to see my cousins."

Ling Fengxun, who had already walked to the door, turned around and looked at him indifferently.

"The two children are weak, and the imperial physician said that they cannot see outsiders. Your Majesty, please go back."

Ling Changyue was rejected and felt frustrated.

Although he knew in his heart that Ling Fengxun would not allow him to see the newborn baby, he still felt a little unbalanced.

"Then, when the child is one month old,"

Ling Fengxun said coldly, "When the child is one month old, I will naturally hold a banquet. We'll talk about it then."

Seeing Ling Fengxun leaving, An Guohou winked at his two nephews behind him.

An Yunqing and An Yunshen understood and immediately chased after him.

"My Lord, can this old minister visit the princess?"

Hearing the voice, Ling Fengxun stopped and turned around.

The man who was originally cold and full of murderous aura smiled slightly at this moment and said politely to the three people, "Uncle and two brothers, please."

The call of uncle made An Guohou very happy.

Even his chest stood up.

The regent in front of him didn't even give the emperor face, but was very respectful to him, which made Anguo Hou a little flattered.

And this scene was seen by the little emperor who came out of the guest hall.

The veins on his forehead suddenly appeared, and his fingers clenched into fists.

He was so angry at the scene in front of him. This site
