Chapter 63 Broken, what he said makes sense
The Queen's fingers trembled with anger.
How could the prince say such a thing?
He was really bewildered by Ling Qingyan!
"Do you know what you are saying?" the queen shouted, a crack appearing on her originally dignified expression.
"I have always known what I want and what I want to get, and of course I know what I am saying." Ling Zhuoan's eyes were indifferent, and he seemed particularly rational.
But is it sensible?
Can someone who speaks out against such outrageous behavior really be sane?
"I think the Crown Prince has gone mad! What is her identity? What is your identity? It would be fine if you didn't hide it, but you openly admitted it and even questioned your own mother. Crown Prince, is this what I taught you? Is this how you are to be a Crown Prince?"
The queen's chest heaved violently, and she felt a severe headache again.
But she would not use her illness to win her son's sympathy, because Ling Zhuoan, the son she personally taught, was not related to her by blood. She understood him well, so she knew it was useless.
Ling Zhuo'an's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the Queen with bloodshot eyes as if he was looking at someone who had nothing to do with him. He watched quietly as her sanity gradually faded, and watched her rudeness and panic.
"Didn't my mother teach me that power is the most important thing? With power, I can get everything. I can get everything."
Ling Zhuoan has been self-disciplined for so many years, and finally met a girl he likes both physically and mentally. So what if he indulges himself?
The queen was speechless.
The way she looked at her son was as if she had raised a monster, and she didn't even care about basic decency.
"What kind of magic potion did Ling Qingyan give you?" The queen murmured, leaning weakly on the golden nanmu chair.
"I came here today just to tell you, Queen Mother, that I'm not stupid. I can see through your thoughts and actions." Even though he was facing his mother, Ling Zhuo'an showed no respect at all. "If you do something that I don't like again..."
"What the Lin family did wasn't so clean. I don't mind. I'm willing to sacrifice my relatives for the greater good." Ling Zhuo'an seemed to remember something and smiled with a hint of sarcasm. "But mother, for my good reputation, should be very supportive of me sacrificing my relatives for the greater good."
"Bastard!" The queen was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand.
Not a single drop of tea splashed onto Ling Zhuoan.
"I have something important to do, so I won't accompany you for tea." Ling Zhuoan walked out confidently.
After a while, they arrived at Yaohua Palace.
His expression was much gloomier than when he went to Qiwu Palace.
Last night, Ling Qingyan's maid deceived him.
According to Han Qi, Ling Qingyan must have encountered some trouble yesterday and was taken away by Ling Yao to an unknown place.
But Ling Qingyan's personal maid told him that she had not encountered any trouble.
Ling Zhuoan's lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile at all.
The air pressure around the prince dropped significantly, and the people around him didn't dare to breathe. When he arrived at Yaohua Palace, he didn't wait for anyone to report, but went straight into the courtyard, passed through a beautiful field of flowers and plants, and came directly to the door of Ling Qingyan's bedroom.
The maid at the door wanted to go and report, but the prince stepped into the girl's bedroom before her.
Xi Lan was helping Ling Qingyan with her makeup. Ling Qingyan smiled and talked to her about the contents of the sketchbook.
Xilan likes reading stories very much. Ling Qingyan treats her very well and often buys her picture books to read. From time to time, she also tells her some stories that do not exist in this world. Xilan always listens with great interest.
In this world, her best friend is Chen Mansheng, and then there is Xi Lan. She is always with her. She never asks about the many incredible things she does, but only cooperates with her actions and responds quickly and sensitively.
Ling Qingyan likes her very much and is very reliable.
While chatting and laughing with Xi Lan, a familiar figure appeared in the bronze mirror.
Ling Qingyan rubbed her eyes, turned around, and looked surprised: "Royal brother...what are you..."
"Capture him." The prince's voice was cold.
Before Ling Qingyan could react, the guards around the prince had forced Xi Lan to kneel down and put a knife to Xi Lan's neck.
"Xi Lan!" Ling Qingyan said in horror. Xi Lan was braiding her beautiful hair, but it was suddenly pulled out. Ling Qingyan's black hair fell down, thick and a little messy, adding a touch of charm.
"Royal brother, what are you doing?" Ling Qingyan's voice was a little hurried. "What happened? Why did you capture Xi Lan?"
"Imperial sister, I, your servant, am not very loyal to you, or rather, I am too loyal, so loyal that I am willing to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor for my master." Ling Zhuoan said sinisterly.
Ling Qingyan thought of something and swallowed, but still pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what my royal brother is talking about, but isn't it a bit too humiliating for my royal brother to just take my people away like this?"
The girl's eyes were wet. She looked up at him with her lips pursed into a line.
Ling Zhuo'an laughed out loud. "You can lie as much as you want, my dear sister. I won't do anything to you anyway."
Ling Qingyan's palms were sweating and her heart was beating fast. Her eyes fell on Xi Lan. The knife that the guard had placed on Xi Lan's neck was bleeding.
Ling Zhuoan would really kill Xi Lan, he really didn't treat servants as human beings, and he would really deal with the people around her.
"I didn't mean to lie." Ling Qingyan's tone was a little aggrieved. "Royal brother, I was afraid you would worry, so I asked Xi Lan not to tell you that Ling Yao had tricked me into going somewhere else."
"Xi Lan is also following my orders. Royal brother, can you let your people release her first? I'll tell you slowly." Ling Qingyan's voice was filled with some coaxing and girlish coquettishness.
"Sister, tell me first, and then I'll consider whether to release him or not." Ling Zhuoan said in a cold voice.
Ling Qingyan was a little annoyed, her tone was tearful, and her beautiful eyes looked at her, tears about to fall, looking at him with a kind of stubbornness.
"Royal brother, didn't you hear what I said? I was in trouble yesterday. Why didn't you care about what I went through? You didn't care whether I was frightened or not. Instead, you pointed the sword at my maid as soon as you came in!" Ling Qingyan said disappointedly.
Ling Zhuoan placed the back of his finger against the corner of the girl's eye and wiped away her tears, but his face showed no sign of softness. "Why are you crying?"
"You are just a servant. Even if the princess makes a mistake, the princess will not blame you. It is not difficult to give you a few more maids." His words were unusually indifferent.
Ling Zhuo'an rubbed the slightly red skin at the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, causing Ling Qingyan to shudder. He continued, "How could my Royal Brother not feel sorry for you? But my Royal Brother needs to understand why you lied to me. What was it about last night that I don't want my Royal Brother to know?"
"Don't try to put me off by saying you're afraid my brother will worry." Ling Zhuo'an smiled faintly, but there was a sinister look in his eyes. "My sister didn't react like this when she was in danger before. You would act coquettishly and confide in me instead of lying."
Ling Qingyan thought of the time with the kidnappers.
Oh no, he has a point.
"So, what are you lying to me about, Ling Qingyan?"
