Chapter 250 I don't want you to die
As soon as Ling Fengxun spoke, all the officials quieted down, all raised their ears and listened carefully.
Even when the little emperor spoke, they didn't listen so attentively.
Concubine Hui looked puzzled, "My lord, this man intended to harm the princess, why did you let him out?"
Ling Fengxun's thin lips slightly raised a wave of sneer.
Those dark blue eyes were so deep that people couldn't see through what he was thinking at this moment.
Ling Changxi stood in the hall in an orderly manner.
These few months of prison life have indeed tempered his character.
But it's hard to say that he resents.
When he was first locked up, Ling Changxi was still very panicked and thought he was going to lose his head.
But after waiting for a month or two and finding that no one cared about himself and the Chu family, he became calmer.
He also understood a little bit of Uncle Xuan's character. If he really believed that he was the one who hurt the princess, he would not live for more than three days after being captured.
The reason why he did not take action and did not arrange people to torture them must be for some other reason.
Ling Fengxuan waved at Ling Changxi.
"What are you doing there? Find a chair and sit down."
Ling Changxi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yes, Uncle Xuan!"
Seeing her son appear in the hall, the Empress Dowager, whose hair had turned white in the past few months, cried with joy.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
She had spent a lot of money during this period of time and went everywhere to make arrangements, but with little effect.
The man was arrested by the Regent. Now the entire capital of Beiling Kingdom is full of the Regent's men. If the Regent does not nod his head, no one has the courage to let the second prince go.
Fortunately, the Royal Concubine can occasionally bring things to visit Ling Changxi during this period.
Seeing that nothing happened to him, she felt a little comforted.
Otherwise, she would have collapsed long ago.
When everyone saw the second prince sitting down, their eyes were full of surprise.
Even Ling Changyue couldn't sit still.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
Not punishing the person after arresting him, and releasing him after a few months, does this mean that Ling Fengxun forgives the second prince and the Chu family?
You know, during this period of time, the second prince was arrested and the third prince left the capital. He had secretly recruited many connections, but now, Ling Changxi has returned intact.
Ling Fengxun said lightly: "I let him go because I found out that the person who assassinated the princess was not arranged by the Chu family and Prince Xi." As soon as
he said this, it immediately caused a burst of uproar among the officials.
Everyone began to whisper and discuss.
"Not the second prince? Who else could it be?"
"The prince released the second prince, which means the real murderer must have been found."
Ling Changyue naturally thought so.
He asked, "Uncle, who is the person who assassinated the princess? Have you found the real murderer?"
Ling Fengyan just smiled and did not answer Ling Changyue's question: "Who the murderer is will surface soon. Your Majesty does not need to worry about this matter. I will definitely take care of it."
Ling Changyue: "
As the emperor, he doesn't even have the qualifications to ask about this matter?
He also wanted to know who the person who intended to assassinate An Yunxi was.
This person must be hiding very deeply, and he may even be the first person to know that An Yunxi was pregnant.
The other party must have a lot of information. If he can find the person in advance, it will be of great benefit to him!
Just as he was thinking this, the Third Prince who was ignored at the side could not help but ask: "Brother, I handled such a big case, but I didn't get any reward?"
Ling Changyue narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ling Changyu.
With a little sarcasm and sneer in his heart. He
is worthy of being the most dissolute playboy in the capital. He arrested his own family and was still smug.
The reason why he got the evidence so easily must be that Ling Fengxun had arranged it for him long ago, and he just borrowed his hand to weed out dissidents.
"Of course there is a reward. Someone come and tell me that if the Third Prince solves a major case, he will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold. His annual salary will be increased by 20% in the future. If you like Chunxianglou in the east of the city, I can also reward you."
The salary of the prince was already quite a lot.
Although the Third Prince had no real power, he lived in the capital and had no worries about food and drink.
It can be seen from the emperor's reward that no matter how great his achievements were, he would never have real power and fiefdom.
Ling Changyu obviously knew this.
A look of joy appeared on his face, and he immediately bowed: "Thank you for the gift, my brother. I like it very much!"
Ling Changyue raised the corner of his lips: "As long
as my brother likes it." After sending away this stupid and foolish third brother, the time was almost up.
Not long after the banquet was filled with wine and food.
The palace banquet continued.
However, everyone's mind was no longer on the banquet.
After Ling Changyu received the gift, he took the initiative to walk to the side of his mother, "Mother, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you."
Concubine Hui moved the corner of her lips, but didn't say a word.
Although she missed Ling Changyu, how could she not be angry when he brought her such a surprise as soon as he came back.
"You, let's talk about it when we get back home."
Ling Changyu looked heartless, like a starving ghost, and started to eat with big mouthfuls.
"Mother, I have been living in the open air for a while, and I can't eat well or sleep well. It's so hard."
"There are still pirates in Linjiang, and I encountered them. Fortunately, I had guards with me, otherwise you would not be able to see your son."
Ling Changyu said while eating. He had only been away from the capital for a few months and had completely forgotten the dining etiquette as a prince.
But he used to be so unrefined and unkempt.
Concubine Hui felt a little distressed when she heard this, but she had something on her mind. She had no appetite and just sat there expressionlessly, as if sitting on pins and needles.
She suddenly rubbed her forehead and pretended to be dizzy. Seeing this, the Third Prince quickly stood up and supported her: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just a little uncomfortable."
An Yunxi had also finished eating and saw that Concubine Hui was pretending.
She kindly reminded: "Prince Yu, why don't you help the Concubine to the side hall to rest for a while."
Ling Changyu immediately responded, and then accompanied Concubine Hui to leave the banquet.
After the two left, Ling Fengxun was too lazy to watch the singing and dancing at the banquet, so he took An Yunxi's hand.
"Xi'er, let's go. The surprise I prepared for you is outside."
An Yunxi said expectantly, "Yes."
The two left the banquet in the middle without paying attention to others.
Concubine Hui had already walked to an empty corridor.
She did not go to any side hall, but stood up straight, and her original weak appearance disappeared.
"Changyu!"
Ling Changyu blinked, and a dark color flashed in his peach blossom eyes.
"Mother, do you feel better?"
Concubine Hui gritted her teeth and said, "Mother is fine, I just want to talk to you alone. What on earth are you thinking? You actually attacked your own family!"
Ling Changyu heard his mother's question, and the slightly naughty expression on his face was slightly restrained.
There were no outsiders here, and his eyes were more serious.
"Mother, I don't want you to die."
