Qing Leishan hurriedly stood up and went to welcome Feng Ling in.
We met again after being separated for more than half an hour.
"Your Majesty, please come in."
Qing Leishan led Feng Ling inside and went straight to the front hall. Qing Zhan and Qing Ziyuan were both there, but there was no sign of Qing Yue. Feng Ling's eyes flickered slightly, "Yue'er, is she asleep?"
He asked, his tone still a little cautious.
"When the princess came back, she spoke a few words to her mother, said she was very tired, and then went to bed."
Qing Leishan replied.
Feng Ling sat on the chair and unconsciously picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. It was a little hot and bitter.
I felt even more uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, if you want to see the princess, I'll ask my servant to notify her."
Seeing Feng Ling's distraught look, Qing Leishan knew that Prince Yu had come to see Yue'er in the middle of the night. As parents, they naturally wanted the best for their child. Although they didn't know what conflict had occurred between Yue'er and Prince Yu, there was no overnight grudge between husband and wife.
"Don't go yet."
But unexpectedly Feng Ling stopped Qing Leishan's actions.
"Don't disturb Yue'er. Let her rest first. I'll go see her later. Let's talk business first."
Feng Ling said.
After the words fell, Qing Leishan noticed the solemnity on Feng Ling's face. He exchanged glances with Qing Ziyuan, and his heart tightened. He then said, "I wonder what the prince wants to say..."
"Something happened in the Imperial Prison Department."
Feng Ling said bluntly.
"Something happened?"
Qing Leishan was stunned and did not react immediately. He only knew that the Imperial Prison was under the jurisdiction of Prince You. However, Qing Ziyuan and Qing Zhan frowned at the same time and thought of Qing Yunyao.
"Your Highness, what happened to the Imperial Prison?"
Qing Zhan asked hurriedly.
He had just gone to see Qing Yunyao with his younger sister a few days ago. She was being held captive there. Could something have happened to her? Was she dead?
At this time, Qing Zhan still had positive thoughts.
Then Feng Ling said, "The Imperial Prison guards were completely wiped out, and Qing Yunyao's whereabouts are unknown."
hiss.
Bang.
Qing Leishan and Qing Ziyuan both gasped, and Qing Zhan even knocked over the teacup beside him. They never expected the news to be like this. Qing Yunyao was missing?
"The Imperial Prison is heavily guarded. In the past few decades, we've never heard of a prisoner escaping successfully. So Qing Yunyao was taken away by someone. Who was it?"
Qing Leishan analyzed calmly.
He hadn't thought about this person for many days. When this child was brought to the Qing family, he treated her as his own daughter. Because she was the child of his wife's younger sister and had a miserable life since childhood, he took better care of her and gave her and Yue'er the same resources. The two children grew up together and were as close as sisters. The family was very pleased to see this.
But who would have thought that such a child would be so cruel and do such a heartless thing.
Whenever he thinks about it now, he regrets it.
He suppressed all his hatred in his stomach because his wife already blamed herself very much. If he showed his emotions, Wan'er would feel even worse.
She had committed a crime, been thrown into prison, and faced only torture and death, yet now they were saying she had been rescued? She had no relatives or friends in Kyoto, only a master...
"Is it a ghost?"
Qing Leishan gritted his teeth.
They sent so many guards to look for him at the foot of the cliff, but there were so many rugged rocks and poisonous weeds at the bottom that it was really difficult to find him. They really didn't find the body of the foreigner. Everyone just thought he was dead, but they didn't expect that he was so lucky!
"Yes, I saw the Gu worm on the prison guard."
Feng Ling spoke truthfully in a deep voice.
"Damn it! Why is this old man so lucky? And Qing Yunyao, if I had known earlier, I would have killed her in the Imperial Prison. She and her master are in cahoots with each other, both are extremely vicious. Now that she's not dead, she must be seeking revenge. They are in the open, and we are in the dark."
Qing Zhan slammed his palm on the table, his eyes full of anger.
"This king and King You have already sent troops to search the entire city, but as long as they hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and then sneak back to the city quietly, this king came to inform the general of this matter at night, and also asked the general to pay more attention to the surroundings to avoid being ambushed."
Feng Ling spoke.
Qing Leishan bowed to Feng Ling, his eyes blazing with fire. He said, "This old minister is not afraid. If they really have the guts, just show up before me. This time, I will definitely not give them the chance to go to the Imperial Prison. I will definitely kill them on the spot with my sword!"
The last time Qing Leishan left the Golden Palace, he wanted to kill Qing Yunyao in order to avenge himself on the spot, but Prince You was in a horrible state at the time and threw her directly into the imperial prison.
Thinking of Yue'er resting in the house in the backyard, my heart ached again. If that child knew the news, she would probably be angry and upset again.
"Don't let Yue'er know about this for now. It's best to arrest those two as soon as possible to prevent them from doing anything behind your back."
Qing Leishan said.
When talking about Yue'er, several people fell silent unconsciously, all feeling distressed.
"The ghost chose this moment to expose himself and rescue Qing Yunyao from the Imperial Prison Temple, which means he has been hiding in the dark for a long time and chose such a time-sensitive move. But why did he choose this moment?
Perhaps it has something to do with Yue'er and the prince's upcoming wedding. If they want to make a move, the best time would be the wedding day."
At this moment, Qing Ziyuan's voice slowly sounded.
He has always been a meticulous person. He had been silent just now because he was analyzing the motive.
Feng Ling pointed at the table, feeling that Qing Ziyuan's analysis made sense. There would definitely be a lot of people on the wedding day, and with too many people there would be chaos, making it easier for trouble to occur.
"This king will make the arrangements."
Feng Ling said.
But after saying this, my heart ached. A grand wedding? Is this still a grand wedding?
His Yue'er told him that everything was clear and she had no ties with him anymore.
I dare not think about it. My heart aches and feels stuffy as soon as I think about it.
"General, I want to go see Yue'er."
Feng Ling looked at Qing Leishan and spoke.
Qing Leishan stood up and sighed inwardly, "I will take the general there."
Feng Ling and Qing Leishan walked towards the backyard together. It was already midnight and most of the servants had fallen asleep, leaving only the palace guards who were patrolling and keeping watch.
"Your Highness, it's only right that I shouldn't say too much about the affairs of the Prince and the Princess, but seeing how miserable Yue and the Prince are, I can only go beyond the rules and say a few more words. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight, and any conflicts must be clarified as soon as possible.
Your Highness, I know my child well. She is extremely happy with you, otherwise she would not be willing to marry you. That girl has been stubborn since she was young. Once she makes up her mind, even ten oxen cannot change her mind. She is very persistent.
Your Highness, please don't let other people or other things cause you to misunderstand. She and Your Highness... it's really over."
Qing Leishan choked up as he spoke.
At this time, the two had already arrived at Qingyue's yard...
