Chapter 22: Tensions Rise



"Um?"

Feng Ling raised his eyebrows, his face full of confusion. His fourth brother had come? Who did he want to see?

"What do they see you for?"

Feng Ling subconsciously turned to look at Qing Yue and asked.

When Qing Yue heard Zhong Wu's report, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes suddenly became sharp. He would not come to her house for no reason. She must have revealed a flaw somewhere and she was suspected!

Qing Yue's face was extremely cold and solemn. She couldn't be discovered, otherwise she would be in big trouble and she couldn't explain herself clearly.

"Phoenix Feather."

Suddenly, Qing Yue raised her eyes and called his name. Her eyes were extremely cold, and revealed a bit of forbearance and fighting spirit.

"Qin Wan, who gave you the courage to call me by my name? You..."

Feng Ling snorted coldly, but before he could finish his words, he met her eyes. As their eyes met, Feng Ling inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Qin Wan, did you do something?"

Qing Yue blinked, pursed her lips, and said after a while, "Our agreement is that you have to protect me."

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes, and her doubts grew even stronger.

"What's the meaning?"

He asked.

Qing Yue kept her mouth shut and refused to speak this time.

"Do you know why Chu Yan and his princess are talking about you? What did you do?"

Feng Ling's deep gaze was fixed on the woman in front of him, but Qing Yue's mouth was closed tighter than a clam at this moment.

Seeing that she was determined not to speak, Feng Ling said coldly, "Just wait, I'll go see what they're doing first. It's best if you don't cause any trouble for me!"

Feng Ling threw down these words, turned around and controlled the wheelchair to leave the house.

Chu Yan and Qing Yunyao were waiting in the front reception room.

When the two saw Feng Ling appear, Chu Yan put down the teacup in his hand and stood up, "Sixth brother, where is your sister-in-law?"

Qing Yunyao also narrowed her eyes slightly.

As Feng Ling entered the front hall, he glanced at Chu Yan and saw the injured Qing Yunyao. The gauze wrapped around her neck was too obvious, and her face did not look too good, as if she was sick. Was she injured?

Feng Ling's heart skipped a beat.

Is Qin Wan’s injury related to the Princess You in front of him?

Feng Ling suddenly thought of a month ago when she went out and went crazy at the gate of Zuixian Tower. Could it be that she went out to provoke Qing Yue again this time?

At this moment, Feng Ling didn't think the matter was that serious.

Despite countless speculations in his heart, he didn't show any of them on his face. He just leaned lazily in his wheelchair and asked, "What happened to the Fourth Princess? Is she injured?"

Although he was asking, his tone sounded casual.

After asking, before the other party could answer, he continued, "No wonder there were crows cawing on the wall so early this morning. It turns out there's a distinguished guest here. I wonder why you two, Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law, have come to my brother's residence to meet his princess? What's the reason?"

The narrow eyes are somewhat evil and a little cold.

This is obviously not a nice thing to say.

Chu Yan was not annoyed at all when he heard Feng Ling's words. He was very calm and continued, "Sixth brother, Yue'er went out today and was assassinated. She almost lost her life. Someone saw the assassin's appearance and said that he looked like Princess Yu. As your brother, I don't believe it. After all, my sister-in-law and Yue'er have no grudges against each other. How could they want to kill her?

Unfortunately, the witness insisted he was not mistaken. As Yue'er's husband, I must get to the bottom of this matter and give an explanation to Yue'er and the Qing family. What do you think, Sixth Prince?"

Feng Ling was startled, and her eyes became even darker.

Assassination and conspiracy?

Qin Wan assassinated Qing Yue?

"Sixth brother, you don't know. When Yue'er was assassinated today, the situation was extremely dangerous. If my secret guards hadn't arrived in time, Yue'er would have been in great danger. Therefore, I, your Majesty, will never let this matter go lightly. I will not let go of any clues. Fortunately, my secret guards also injured the assassin, piercing her shoulder blade with a sword..."

Chu Yan told the story slowly.

His voice was cold to begin with, and he spoke slowly and steadily, yet still with a certain solemnity.

Feng Ling rubbed his fingers. He was used to this action when he was thinking about things.

Chu Yan brought people to the house and confirmed that the assassin was Qin Wan. Not only did he move out of the Qing family, he also made it clear that he would not give up.

Feng Ling gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He even wondered if Qingyue was sent by Chu Yan. But seeing the injuries on Qingyue's body, he dismissed the idea. If it was a trap, Chu Yan would definitely not want Qingyue to get hurt. Plus, Qin Wan seemed nervous just now, using the agreement as an excuse, hoping he would protect her.

But no matter what the reason was on Qin Wan's side, he couldn't hand her over.

First, this woman can cure his poison.

Second, he will get into trouble.

The next moment, Feng Ling said, "Fourth Brother, are you saying that the Fourth Emperor's wife was assassinated? Someone saw it and said it was Qin Wan who did it?"

"right."

Chu Yan nodded.

"Where's that guy? Bring him here."

The next moment, Feng Ling chuckled.

Then his expression changed, his phoenix eyes were fierce and sharp, and boundless hostility instantly surged out. "I will ask him personally, does he not want his eyes anymore? Or does he want his tongue cut off? Qin Wan has been with me all morning, so how did he become the assassin who went out of the palace to kill the Fourth Emperor's wife?"

Fourth brother, are you really here to seek justice for your princess, or are you here to cause trouble for me, your brother?"

A cold sound was heard, and Feng Ling sneered and looked down at the person who came.

You think he is weaker because he is sitting in a wheelchair, but that is not true. Since he became disabled, he has become more crazy and evil.

These words sounded like they were going to break off relations.

Chu Yanhan narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when Qing Yunyao, who had remained silent, said, "Sixth brother, what you said is quite serious. The emperor's wife is just seeking justice. If your sister-in-law is not injured, why would she be afraid to show up?"

"Oh……"

Hearing Qing Yunyao's words, Feng Ling sneered, his phoenix eyes raised, full of sarcasm, and he said arrogantly, "Who do you think you are? If you want her to show up, she will show up."

"Phoenix Feather!"

Chu Yan's face instantly turned cold and he sneered.

In a flash, Mo Feng and Mo Yu behind him drew out their swords in an instant, and at the same time, Zhong Wu and Zhong Liu also drew their knives.

The two sides are facing each other, and a fight is about to break out.

"laugh."

Feng Ling sneered, "Finally, you're not pretending to be friendly anymore? Chu Yan, try to move and see if you can get out of Prince Yu's mansion today."
