Chapter 272 He knows the truth

Because there was no order from the inside, no one brought Concubine Hui into the hall.

Ling Fengxun turned around and walked out, then stopped beside Concubine Hui.

He suddenly lowered his voice a little.

"I know that the assassination was done by you."

Concubine Hui's eyes suddenly widened.

"My Lord, since you know, please let Chang Yu go. He is really innocent and just took the blame for me."

At this moment, she lowered her voice and begged for mercy in a low voice.

However, Ling Fengxun smiled: "So what if I know?"

Concubine Hui seemed not to understand what Ling Fengxun meant for a while: "My Lord, you..."

She didn't dare to blink, watching Ling Fengxun pass by her.

"You deserve it."

Concubine Hui suddenly came to her senses.

She looked at Ling Fengxun as if she were looking at a demon.

He knew that the person who sent someone to assassinate An Yunxi was not Ling Changyu, but he pretended not to know and led things in this direction.

He wanted to punish her with Changyu's death.

Concubine Hui had planned everything, but she didn't expect this result.

"Don't, don't kill my Yu'er, how could you do this!"

Regret was about to overwhelm Concubine Hui's mind.

She stared at Ling Fengxun's back, her eyes were already bloodshot.

Doctor Gu's heart sank. What

a cruel man .

The people holding him didn't let go, and he couldn't say anything in such a situation.

Just after Ling Fengxun left, Imperial Physician Gu was also taken away, leaving only Concubine Hui and Ling Changyu, mother and son, to be dealt with by the people in the palace.

Ling Fengxun took Imperial Physician Gu back to the palace.

He still had many doubts that needed to be carefully questioned.

As soon as Ling Fengxun returned to the palace, he saw a figure standing at the gate of the courtyard.

It was the late night and An Yunxi hadn't slept yet.

Seeing him coming back with someone, An Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to him and asked, "My lord, what's the plan?"

Ling Fengxun stepped aside and had someone bring Imperial Physician Gu to An Yunxi.

"It went quite smoothly."

Seeing Imperial Physician Gu still alive, An Yunxi was stunned at first, and then she understood something in her heart.

"Faked death? Why?"

Ling Fengxun curled the corners of his lips: "It's not fake death. He was afraid that his night meeting with Concubine Hui would be discovered, so he found a substitute at home. As a result, he was killed by the assassin arranged by Ling Changyu by mistake."

In just a few sentences, Ling Fengxun explained the whole cause and effect.

What he said was even clearer than that of Doctor Gu himself.

Doctor Gu was listening nearby. The Regent King's words had almost revealed the truth. In other words, from the beginning, the lies they made up had never deceived each other.

Doctor Gu's legs became weaker.

It was too cold outside.

Ling Fengxun took An Yunxi's hand and led her into the warmer side room.

Putting a cloak on An Yunxi, Ling Fengyan sat on a chair and looked at the current Doctor Gu by the candlelight in the room.

His face was extremely pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead in the middle of winter, and purple handprints on his neck.

An Yunxi also wanted to know the whole story, so she dozed off and listened in the warm cloak.

Ling Fengyan asked pointedly, "How long have you been in a relationship with Concubine Hui?"

Doctor Gu felt that his blood was surging like crazy.

His heart was beating violently, and his tense blood vessels seemed to be about to burst.

"Your Highness, I had a sudden evil thought, so I coveted the Concubine Dowager. It has nothing to do with the Concubine Dowager."

Ling Fengyan sighed, "Doctor Gu, for your father's sake, I don't want to use those torture methods on you. I want to save your dignity."

Doctor Gu's lips trembled, "Your Highness, everything I said is true. I have been in the palace for so long, and I have never done anything to hurt the princess."

"You just don't have the chance to do it."

The palace is heavily guarded. He arranged many secret guards to keep an eye on An Yunxi and the child.

Any movement will not escape his eyes and ears.

Ling Fengyan cleared out all the spies in the palace, just to ensure the safety of Xier and the child. How could they be caught?

Doctor Gu's pupils were trembling slightly.

"I only committed the crime of coveting the Concubine Dowager. As for the other things, I really did not interfere."

He was still trying to defend himself.

Suddenly, he heard Ling Fengxun chuckle: "Tomorrow morning, I will invite Mr. Gu and your wife to the palace to let them hear what you said. How about it?"

Doctor Gu's back stiffened instantly.

He suddenly realized.

What he feared most was not death.

But that his wife and father would find out about his affair with Concubine Hui.

Doctor Gu's eyes suddenly became extremely nervous: "Your Highness, my family knows nothing about these things, please don't tell them."

Ling Fengyan raised his eyebrows: "You dare to do it, why don't you dare to let your family know? Besides, why should I help you hide this?" Doctor Gu

was speechless and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Seeing him like this, Ling Fengyan coaxed him: "Tell me, is the third prince your blood?"

Such a straightforward question, not only Doctor Gu, but even An Yunxi looked at him with wide eyes.

She said in surprise: "Your Highness suspects that the third prince is..."

Ling Fengyan shook his head: "It's not a suspicion."

Doctor Gu was trembling all over. At this moment, he wanted to clear all the relationships between himself and Concubine Hui and her son: "No, it's impossible, my Lord. The Third Prince is a dragon among men. How could he be my blood? He has nothing to do with me!"

Ling Fengxun smiled and said, "It's okay. If you don't admit it now, I will make you admit it. Let's take it slowly."

Ling Fengxun was not in a hurry at all, but just a little curious.

He also understood Doctor Gu's reaction. If the news was confirmed, they would all die!

Moreover, it would be a serious crime that the whole family would be executed.

Ling Fengxun had guessed all the truth from the causes and consequences and clues. He just wanted to hear the other party admit it in person to confirm his guess.

Doctor Gu was almost scared to death by a question from Ling Fengxun.

Ling Fengxun felt that there was no way he could hear Doctor Gu admit this tonight, so he waved his hand and asked people to lock him up first.

An Yunxi was still immersed in the question just now and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

After a moment, she side-glanced and asked: "Your Highness, if the third prince is really not of royal blood, how do you plan to deal with him?"

Ling Fengxun chuckled.

"He is about to die, how can I deal with him?"

Ling Fengxun already had a proper solution in mind for the treatment of Ling Changyu.

However, he still planned to test Xier's attitude.

If she wanted him to die, he would die.

If she wanted to spare his life,

"He's going to die?"

An Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her lips moved slightly.

The two grew up together, and it was impossible to say that they had no feelings at all.

"Prince, Ling Changyu..."

Ling Fengxun touched her head.

The temperature in his palm was very hot.

But it made people feel extremely safe.

The voice in her ear was magnetic and gentle, without any impatience: "Xi'er, don't worry about what you want to say."

An Yunxi once again deeply felt this unique preference.
