Chapter 89 Funeral

Emperor Beiling was ill, and the palace was in complete chaos.

Zhou Cheng was thrown into prison, and the rest of the Zhou family were also arrested and awaiting punishment.

As for the future of these people, it depends on whether Zhou Cheng's confession is enough and valuable enough.

The onlookers saw Zhou Cheng being taken away and dispersed under the expulsion of the officers and soldiers, but the discussion about the regent in the market changed dramatically on this day.

The second prince saw Ling Fengxun was about to leave, and hurriedly followed him. He saluted with a serious face and respect.

"Uncle Huang, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get rid of such a deeply hidden cancer in Beiling Kingdom."

Ling Feng Huang was about to return to the carriage, and after his eyes fell on the second prince, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

The smile did not reach his eyes, but he looked much more friendly than usual.

Ling Feng Huang said to the second prince: "I think the second prince is quite talented and pleasing to the eye. How about you stay by my side in the future and help me deal with some chores?"

The second prince's eyes trembled slightly, and his eyes lit up instantly.

This time, he knelt on his knees in front of everyone and bowed to Ling Fengxun: "Thank you, uncle, for your training. Changxi will definitely obey your orders in the future!"

Basically, he was publicly stating that he would follow Ling Fengxun in the future.

There were also many officials' spies watching not far away, who saw this scene clearly. When they saw the second prince bowing before the regent, they immediately reported the matter to their masters.

If Ling Fengxun and the prince competed for the throne, they would have no hope at all in the eyes of everyone. Ling Fengxun's mother's family was a foreign race and could never sit on the throne of Beiling Kingdom.

But the second prince was different. He was of royal blood and had a noble status!

With the support of the Regent, he will have the absolute capital to compete with the Crown Prince in the future, and may even be able to defeat him!

After letting the Second Prince go back, Ling Fengxun got on the carriage and lowered the curtain. Only he and An Yunxi were left in the carriage.

Seeing An Yunxi, the cold aura around Ling Fengxun instantly eased. He raised his eyes slightly, and only the face of the woman in front of him was reflected in his eyes.

"Xiao Xier, how did I do?"

An Yunxi moved her body and sat directly next to Ling Fengxun.

She leaned her head on his shoulder, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

"Well, Your Majesty is domineering, Your Majesty is mighty."

Ling Fengxun was not annoyed at all when he heard these familiar flattering words, and even felt a little relieved.

"Thanks to your information, otherwise this treasury is too deep, even I would find it difficult to detect."

An Yunxi smiled and said, "As long as the information I provide to Your Majesty is useful to Your Majesty, that's fine."

Ling Fengxun held the man in his arms like a baby, feeling the warmth and breath of the other person, and his mood became more and more calm.

His cold voice came to An Yunxi's ears, "This morning, the king and the emperor had a big quarrel. After all, he sent someone to assassinate the king, so he didn't pursue the responsibility. He just asked the king to catch the murderer who killed General An within three days."

An Yunxi said, "The murderer is my third brother."

She paused and clenched her fingers, "He was just helping me. I wanted to do it myself. The prince shouldn't catch me!"

She raised her eyes carefully and looked at Ling Fengxun's expression.

Seeing Ling Fengxun smile, he looked at her with a bit of doting.

"How could the king arrest you?"

"In that case, Your Highness, you are not allowed to arrest my third brother either."

An Yunxi's voice was a little coquettish, and she rubbed her cheek on the other's shoulder.

The beauty trap was so effective that the Regent fell into a gentle state and lost his mind.

He chuckled and said in a gentle voice: "Okay."

An Yunxi immediately put her heart at ease.

As long as Ling Fengxun promised her, he would definitely do it.

An Yunxi suddenly thought of something.

"When I assassinated An Qing the day before yesterday, I didn't have time to find Aunt Liu and her daughter. Where are they now?"

Men and women are in different prisons, so she only had time to kill An Qing at that time, and had no time to distract herself to care about the mother and daughter.

Ling Fengxun was silent.

"There was a spy among my men, and when they were about to be executed, they were rescued."

However, this action also wasted a hidden chess piece that the other party had buried for many years.

If the other party had not made a move in advance, it would have been difficult for Ling Fengxun to find out that someone would lurk for such a long time.

This hidden chess piece was exchanged for the lives of those two women. For Ling Fengxun, not only did he not lose, but he also made a big profit.

An Yunxi just frowned when she heard this and said nothing.

An Ruxue is not that easy to die.

Not only did she secretly seduce the prince, but there were also many young masters from the noble families in the capital who had ties with her.

"On the day when the prince was injured, I didn't have a good chat with my third brother. It would be better to go directly to the general's mansion."

Ling Fengyan raised his eyes and said to the driver, "Go to the general's mansion."

The general's mansion was full of white tents, and General An's body remained in the mourning hall that had just been built in the mansion not long ago.

Although Du Linglan had already divorced General An, after all, several children in the mansion were related to him by blood. For the sake of their careers, Du Linglan could not be willful and expose General An's body to the wilderness in front of outsiders.

When An Yunxi came back, she immediately entered the yard to find her mother.

Du Linglan was sitting in the yard drinking tea at this time. The weather was just right. She was wearing a simple white dress with a smile on her face.

Hearing the noise at the door, Du Linglan immediately stood up and looked over. Seeing An Yunxi coming back, the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Xi'er!"

She stood up and went to the door to greet her. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she felt relieved.

Turning around and seeing Ling Fengxun coming in behind her, Du Linglan did not hesitate, nor did she question him. Instead, she said with some gratitude: "Thank you for taking care of Xi'er these days, Your Majesty."

Ling Fengxun thought of what An Yunxi had done during this period, and his eyes darkened.

"It's not that I took care of her, it was Axi who helped me a lot."

"Your Highness is too polite, please come in."

Du Linglan quickly invited both of them to the room.

An Yunxi glanced outside and frowned slightly.

"Mother, what kind of funeral are you going to prepare for him?"

Du Linglan shook her head and chuckled, "Don't say that, after all, he has been called dad by you for so many years, and outsiders don't know the inside story of our family. You are still an unmarried girl now, you have to do a good job on the surface, and you can't let people catch you and say you are unfilial. You have to go to the funeral in a few days."

An Yunxi refused directly.

"I won't go, he is not my father."

She wanted to tear An Qing into pieces.

A funeral?

He's so beautiful!

Du Linglan glanced at Ling Fengxun next to her, and pulled An Yunxi over with a little embarrassment, whispering in her ear: "There is an old man's body in the mass grave on the outskirts of the city. I heard that the old man did a lot of good deeds when he was alive. He was a good person. It's a pity that no one collected the body. When I heard the news, I was very moved, so I exchanged your father's body with his."
