Chapter 68 Serving the Prince
Ling Fengxun’s palms were scalding, and An Yunxi followed his steps while wondering in her heart.
Emperor Beiling suddenly issued an imperial decree. What exactly did he want to do?
He brought An Yunxi to the yard. It was empty outside. The servants in the surrounding palace saw their own prince leading a woman out, and they all showed shocked expressions.
Then they immediately turned their heads and pretended not to see it.
When doing things in the palace, they knew what to see and what not to see.
An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun walked through the corridor together, raised their heads and looked at the yard, and then their eyes widened instantly.
There were many people standing in this yard, and everyone was dressed up, with all kinds of fat and thin.
Not only that, half of them are men.
An Yunxi: ""
Ling Fengxun gnashed his teeth: "Brother, you are deliberately hating me."
The last time they were in the palace, the conversation was not pleasant. At that time, the emperor gave the imperial edict to An Yunxi, with the purpose of not letting Ling Fengxun marry her smoothly.
This behavior has already angered Ling Fengxun. He has not been idle during this period. On the one hand, he sent people to find the treasure left by the old marquis according to An Yunxi's instructions, and on the other hand, he killed several of the emperor's confidants.
Ling Fengxun sent the evidence to the emperor and killed them first and then reported to the emperor.
These royal relatives and nobles have all done dirty things. As long as they can investigate and catch evidence, and deal with one or two unimportant ones, no one dares to say a word against him.
This is a competition between the two of them in secret, so the emperor must be angry to come up with such a method.
If you can't kill him by attacking one, you must hate him!
An Yunxi was not panicked.
She had experienced many ups and downs in her life, and this kind of small scene was too trivial.
She stood in the corner and looked at the neat team of beauties in front of her, and then asked: "How does the prince plan to deal with these people?"
Ling Fengxun opened his thin lips and narrowed his eyes slightly: "When the guards withdraw, I will drive them all out."
An Yunxi smiled and said: "The emperor must have expected this result. This matter will definitely not be so simple."
After these people were brought in, Ling Fengxun has not shown up in front of them.
The guards in the palace surrounded these beauties, preventing them from moving around.
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark color flashed under his eyes.
There was a flash of hostility in his eyes, and Ling Fengxun was filled with endless murderous aura.
If someone was not familiar with this, they would definitely feel weak at this moment.
An Yunxi raised her eyebrows, she recognized the identities of several of them: "There must be other ways."
The emperor gave Ling Fengxun such a big gift, it would be unreasonable if he did not prepare some return gifts.
Ling Fengxun's eyes were full of anger and swept across those people.
Those beauties only felt as if there was a biting cold wind blowing across their necks, making them shrink their necks subconsciously.
Ling Fengxun said, "Xiao Xier, I have informed you of this matter. You must not misunderstand me. These are not brought by me."
He hurriedly distanced himself from these people.
An Yunxi couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, I know."
Seeing him being so cautious, An Yunxi felt a little distressed.
It seemed that it was all her fault. It was because she didn't give Ling Fengxun enough sense of security that he was worried about gains and losses.
"I counted them, there are a total of twenty beauties."
Ling Fengxun frowned, "I haven't seen their faces yet, I don't know if they are beautiful or not."
An Yunxi: ""
She blinked, resisting the trembling of her shoulders, then quietly took Ling Fengxun's hand and leaned close to his ear, "My lord, send someone to investigate, what are the backgrounds of these young ladies and masters?"
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly.
A moment later, a subordinate came to report.
"Your Highness, these people are all young ladies and young masters from the capital's noble families."
Ling Fengxun suddenly frowned.
"It seems that they are not ordinary people."
An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips.
She really guessed it right.
The emperor secretly dug such a trap for Ling Fengxun to jump into.
These people usually don't show up. They are daughters or young masters raised in the palace or at home. They must be the treasures of the family.
The reason why she could guess it was because there were two or three people here. She happened to meet them in the palace in her previous life. That’s why she was sure that they were not ordinary beauties
. Ordinary beauties would definitely not have any influence on Ling Fengxun .
However, these men and women in front of him were of noble status. If they made a mistake, Ling Fengxun would be surrounded by enemies.
He already had enough enemies. At least half of the civil and military officials in the court wished him dead.
Ling Fengxun was not stupid. He guessed his brother’s plan almost instantly. His eyes darkened slightly.
"If I drive these people out, the news will spread quickly and reach the ears of those noble families, saying that I have destroyed the reputation of their children. In addition, my brother is stirring up discord, and those neutral people in the court will instantly turn against me and join the camp that hates me."
Ling Fengxun sorted out the cause and effect word by word, his eyes were terrifyingly deep. However,
An Yunxi already had a way to deal with it. She whispered in his ear again and uttered a sweet breath.
"My lord, I have a good idea. You can keep them here first."
Ling Fengxun was slightly startled: "Keep them here? If people knew that I have taken in so many people, they would definitely..."
He now cared about his own reputation.
He was not angry when others said he was a tyrant.
He did not explain when they said he was infertile.
Now that he is accused of being a playboy, he won't do it!
An Yunxi knew what Ling Fengxun was thinking, and her eyes were crescent-shaped.
"I am a jealous person. How can I let them get their hands on the prince? I will arrange a good show for the prince later."
Ling Fengyan narrowed his eyes slightly and listened attentively.
An Yunxi chuckled, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, and looked at those people with ill intentions.
"Prince, you just wait here, I'll be back soon."
She walked out of the corridor and came to the front of the group of people.
She pulled a veil to cover half of her face.
Although An Yunxi is very famous, few of the young ladies and gentlemen in the capital have actually seen her. She
is the kind of person who has only heard of her but has never seen her.
When those people saw someone coming, they looked at her vigilantly.
Of course, they knew what they were doing here.
The emperor issued an imperial decree to give them to the regent king as concubines. This was a danger but also an opportunity for them.
An Yunxi clapped her hands, and the crisp sound attracted the attention of everyone present.
She smiled and said, "Ladies, please be patient."
