Chapter 115 Two Drama Queens
Today, two rare guests came to his leisurely palace.
Ling Zhuo'an wanted to go straight into the hospital, but Ling Yu stopped him and said, "That's rude." He then sent someone to inform them, and the two of them were allowed in.
Pei Wuyou stretched his arms as if he had just woken up, sat up from the rocking chair, stood on the ground, and greeted the two high-ranking royal family members of Ling Kingdom.
In the past, whenever Pei Wuyou was seen, he would always be following Ling Qingyan. Now that Ling Qingyan was not in front of Pei Wuyou, the atmosphere between them was particularly weird.
It was even weirder than when the uncle and nephew were alone just now.
Ling Zhuoan could never show a good face to Pei Wuyou, even though this kid was going to be exchanged for a city by his countrymen.
He was still full of contempt and hostility towards him.
It was really like a dog that bites but doesn't bark. He knew exactly how many outrageous things Pei Wuyou had done to take advantage of Ling Qingyan's affection, so when he saw this man, he wanted to cut him into pieces.
Later, he sent people to re-investigate what happened that day, and he said that Pei Wuyou's Chinese medicine was obviously not something that the idiot Ling Yao could come up with.
And with this kid's cleverness, how could he be successfully tricked by Ling Yao?
The only explanation is that Pei Wuyou staged a self-torture scheme, using Qingyan's love for him to do something beneficial to him.
What a... good plan.
Ling Zhuoan looked at the young boy in front of him who was so scheming despite his young age.
Pei Wuyou had lived in Ling State for nearly six years. Before Qingyan came, he, a prince, had never noticed the existence of such an insignificant character. As an abandoned hostage, he could tell with his toes that he was not having an easy time in Ling State.
But he can endure it.
Otherwise, she would have been killed by the people in the deep palace.
When he was dying after being tortured that day, he remembered that he had a loyal subordinate who was willing to use his life as a bargaining chip in order to get the imperial sister to save his master.
It can be seen that Pei Wuyou does not have no power of his own in Ling State.
so--
"Where is Ling Qingyan?" Ling Zhuoan asked coldly.
"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" Pei Wuyou seemed not to hear clearly.
"I'm telling you, was it you who set the fire in Prince Yong's Mansion? Was Tang Ning kidnapped by your people?" Ling Zhuoan said it more clearly.
"What?!" Pei Wuyou's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were filled with fear. "You said, something happened to my sister?"
"Sister has been with you all the time, how could something happen? A fire? How could a fire start? Is sister in danger?" Pei Wuyou asked anxiously, as if he just knew about Ling Qingyan's accident at this time.
Ling Zhuoan frowned slightly, and then the next moment, his eyes were cold and sharp, and a pair of big hands suddenly raised up and pinched Pei Wuyou's neck with one hand.
"Pei Wuyou, I'm telling you, I don't have time to act with you. Where is Ling Qingyan?" His tone suddenly rose, and the questioning in his words showed his unquestionable attitude.
"Why is he hitting a child?" Ling Yu sighed and laughed.
But he just said that and had no intention of going forward to help.
Ling Zhuo'an's face was clouded with gloom, and the strength in his hands was not light as he stared straight at the young man in front of him.
Pei Wuyou raised his hands as if in surrender, his neck being pinched by the man in front of him, but he did not resist at all, and even had a bright smile on his lips.
The air was thin, his chest heaved violently, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but he showed no sign of defeat and surrender. Although his voice was hoarse, he still jokingly said some truths that stung people's hearts.
"Why, Your Highness, are you so angry that you can't find your sister that you come looking for me?"
"But how do I know where my sister is?"
"Your Highness, don't you know how severe the torture was that day? With my current injuries, I can't walk for too long without taking a break, let alone setting a fire and robbing my sister."
"Ah." Pei Wuyou seemed to have thought of something. "In fact, it might not have been burned by someone else. Maybe my sister has been wanting to leave you for a long time. She took advantage of His Royal Highness Prince Yong's birthday to give it a try and escape alive."
"If that's the case, then my sister is doing well, and Your Highness doesn't need to look for her anymore."
Pei Wuyou spoke in a leisurely voice, with his eyes narrowed, as if he was laughing at Ling Zhuoan's joke.
He must know something.
Ling Zhuo'an tightened his grip, his voice growing fiercer as he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask again, where is Ling Qingyan?"
"I don't know." There was no fear in Pei Wuyou's eyes.
After all, Pei Wuyou is still useful and cannot die. Ling Zhuoan used the last bit of his rationality to let him go.
At least, at least Qingyan is still alive.
Pei Wuyou was a man who didn't tell the truth, so he couldn't be killed. Ling Zhuoan had no idea what to do with him, so he ordered in a cold voice:
"Take good care of Pei Jizi and never leave his side."
After going around in circles, Ling Zhuoan and Ling Yu were unable to find Ling Qingyan's whereabouts.
The only vague information that could be guessed was that she must still be alive.
Pei Wuyou must know something.
Could it be that, as Pei Wuyou said, Qingyan took advantage of the chaos to escape from him?
Ling Zhuoan felt cold all over and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.
…
Pei Wuyou received news that the Wei delegation would arrive in Kyoto in three days.
Here it comes.
Mu Xianzhi received a letter.
A letter from former ally Pei Wuyou.
The letter told him to release Ling Qingyan back to the palace before the envoy arrived in Beijing, otherwise his location of the Dark Moon Pavilion would be exposed.
Mu Xianzhi clenched his fists as he heard the words full of threats.
Pei Wuyou, the little wolf cub, finally guessed it.
These days, Ling Qingyan has been in the Dark Moon Pavilion, and has learned a lot about the use of hidden weapons from Mu Xianzhi. Although it can only be considered an entry-level knowledge, it is still much better than knowing nothing at all.
He didn't hide any of his secrets from her, and she was free to look around the Dark Moon Pavilion.
So when Mu Xianzhi was reading the letter, Ling Qingyan was also there.
"A letter from Xiao Pei."
"You two, judging from your impolite tone, you have known each other for many years." Ling Qingyan said slowly.
"Two dramatic actors."
Pei Wuyou pretended to be too nice in front of her.
This boy, who was younger than her, was as scheming as the others.
That’s right, otherwise why are all the characters the male lead?
But Ling Qingyan didn't take this matter too seriously.
The mission failed, it didn't matter whether they cheated or not, and she was cheating too.
It's nothing more than deceiving each other.
"What should I do, Master Mu? Xiao Pei is threatening you to send me back." Ling Qingyan said with a smile, her eyebrows curved.
"Your Highness, do you want to go back?"
"If I don't go back, won't you be in trouble?" Ling Qingyan said with a smile, "I think Xiao Pei is going to cause trouble. If you try to influence him, I think with his madness, he might really reveal it to you."
"So Your Highness still cares about me."
"Yes." Ling Qingyan smiled, her eyebrows curved, "I am always thinking about you, Master."
