"Prince Yu."
Qing Leishan sighed deeply, his cold face now covered with deep fatigue. He had spent his whole life defending his country, and he owed it to his children and his family. Now that his children had suffered heavy losses one after another, he had developed a deep sense of fatigue with the capital of the Great Zhou. He wanted to wait until everything was settled, and then he and his family would leave here and live a secluded life in the countryside.
Now, their eldest son is missing and their daughter's baby is born prematurely, and the secret they have been hiding is completely exposed.
"Prince Yu, we, the old ministers, did not intentionally hide this from you."
He said.
Feng Ling pursed her thin lips.
He looks gentle, but in fact he has his own sharpness and indifference in his bones. He is only able to tolerate everyone she cares about because he feels guilty about the girl he loves the most. Otherwise, if they keep him in the dark, he will make these people bleed.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Qing Leishan continued, "Your Highness, Yue'er has been with you for so many years. It was fate, but it was also destiny. But in the end, you two were hurt like that... Yue'er was emotionally unstable, her memory was messy, and she was pregnant. At that time, who would dare to tell you this secret? We can only hope that Yue'er will wake up."
Qing Leishan wiped his eyes.
"The child has woken up, but she doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore. As a parent, all we can do at this time is respect her opinion. Yue'er can no longer bear any stimulation."
"General Qing, this king has never thought of blaming anyone."
Feng Ling said.
There was a brief silence between the two people.
"The bond between me and Yue'er will never be severed like this. That child... is mine and hers. General Qing, what I want to ask now is why Yue'er gave birth prematurely."
He asked again, with scarlet murderous intent in his eyes.
The strong smell of blood in the room, the basins of blood that were brought out, Yue'er's pale and bloodless face, and her pointed chin, whenever he thought of that scene, his heart ached like needles.
If he hadn't been paying attention to what was happening here, he wouldn't have known that Yue'er had given birth today, let alone rushed to save their child in time. All of this was Chu Yan's fault. If it was because of him that Yue'er gave birth prematurely, he would definitely twist his neck.
"Something happened to Ziyuan."
Qing Leishan did not hide anything.
Feng Ling raised her eyes, "What happened?"
Qing Leishan's eyes crept red, but he suppressed them tightly. He said, "The Emperor has issued edicts several times, ordering Ziyuan to return to the border, but Ziyuan has been staying here and refusing to go back because he is worried about Yue'er and his mother. The Emperor issued an ultimatum, and Ziyuan went to the palace today, but there has been no news from him."
"What?"
Feng Ling frowned and raised his eyes in surprise.
"Where did it disappear?"
He asked, but his heart was also filled with anxiety. No wonder Yue'er had a premature birth. This was her dearest big brother. Her mother's injury was enough to make her feel sad for a long time. If it was Qing Ziyuan...
"I don't know. Prince You went into the palace to get information, and he said he left the palace around noon, and his whereabouts are unknown. Ziyuan must have been in trouble."
Qing Lei Shan Road.
He looked at the dark sky, feeling powerless. "The ghost is still out there and hasn't been caught. The resources are likely in his hands. The two princes combined forces to search for her, turning the entire capital upside down, but still couldn't catch her. Now that he dares to take action, he must have been fully prepared. All we can do now is wait for him to reveal his purpose."
Feng Ling didn't respond for a long time.
At this moment, Chu Yan's guards came hurriedly, "Master, the uncle of the king is here to visit."
The door creaked open and Chu Yan walked out of the room. No one knew what Yue'er had said to him, but it was obvious that his face looked very ugly when he came out. He faced Feng Ling in the dark night, and the peace they had maintained for so long was completely torn apart tonight.
"Yue'er said that you should stay tonight. The baby's heart rate is unstable and may need your blood. I will arrange a room for you."
Chu Yan's hard voice sounded.
Feng Ling frowned and was about to lift her foot when she heard him say, "Yue'er is very weak now. No one is allowed to disturb her. She needs to rest well."
Feng Ling sneered, with sarcasm on his lips. How could he not understand what Chu Yan meant?
But now was not the time to argue, Feng Ling only said, "Don't worry, I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. If Yue'er needs me, I will appear. If not, I will just wait quietly."
This was a direct sarcasm that spoke back to the words that were suppressed in his heart.
Their eyes met, both of them showing a cold indifference, unwilling to admit defeat.
"It would be best."
With a cold snort, Chu Yan glanced away.
Then he said to Qing Leishan, "General Qing, my grandfather is visiting, so I need to go over. Yue'er is fine for now, just a little weak. Madam is taking care of her at home, so you can relax. As for Ziyuan's matter, everything will be settled by dawn. Even if I have to search the entire capital, I will find him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qing Leishan bowed deeply and was helped up by Chu Yan.
Feng Ling stood aside, his face two shades darker.
Chu Yan went to the front hall. He hadn't seen Xiao Yue for a while. The last time they met was two months ago. At that time, he asked his grandfather to investigate the matter of Feng Ling's poisoning. There had been no clues, and he actually had no hope.
Chu Yan came to the front hall and saw Xiao Yue sitting on a chair. He seemed to be in deep thought. He didn't come back to his senses when he heard footsteps. He even scalded his hand because he subconsciously reached out to touch the teacup.
"Grandpa."
Chu Yan shouted.
Xiao Yue stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty."
His brows were deeply furrowed, and there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept well.
"Grandpa, you came here late at night, but what's the matter?"
Chu Yan asked.
Xiao Yue pursed his lips and subconsciously glanced outside the door, looking very alert. Chu Yan's heart froze slightly, and he immediately waved his hand and asked the guards to withdraw to the outside of the yard.
"Grandpa, what happened?"
He asked.
Xiao Yue nodded. "Yan'er, you asked Grandpa to investigate what happened back then, but he never found any clues. But today, he finally found a clue and identified the person behind the incident."
Chu Yan's pupils shrank sharply, and a sharp murderous intent burst out, and the air instantly became cold.
The man who drugged and assassinated Feng Ling back then made him enter the teahouse by accident and took away Yue'er's innocence, which led to his separation from Yue'er and Yue'er's tragic death.
Feng Ling deserves to die, but the person behind the scenes deserves to die even more.
Feng Ling always thought that it was him who murdered him, but his mother and grandfather said no, so he vowed to find the person behind it.
"Who is it?"
