Feng Ling sat with his back against the window, a ray of sunlight shining on his body. His black brocade robe was elegant and beautiful, with dark gold embroidery thread outlining a cloud pattern.
Hearing the footsteps, Feng Ling turned around and his deep gaze fell on Qin Wan.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Qing Yue stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Is your leg uncomfortable?"
The poison had just been removed from his leg, so he must be feeling uncomfortable. She was in a bad mood last night, so she didn't tell him in detail.
The next moment, Feng Ling said, "Qin Wan, something happened to Qing Er."
Qing Yue's heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"
"Poisoned, unconscious, in critical condition."
After saying this, Qin Wan's expression suddenly changed, and she turned around and walked outside.
"Qin Wan, stop!"
Feng Ling didn't expect Qin Wan to react so strongly, and immediately scolded him.
Qin Wan paused, then heard Feng Ling say, "This is a trap. I told you last night that you've alerted the enemy. Why was Qing Er poisoned? It must be a test, waiting for you to fall into the trap. If you show up at the General's Mansion now, Qing Yunyao and Chu Yan will guess your relationship with Qing Yue and will directly confirm that you are the one who caused what happened these days."
Feng Ling's low and calm voice sounded.
Qing Yue knew Feng Ling was right. She clenched her hands tightly at her side, her eyes red. "I know, but I have to go save Qing Zhan."
That was her second brother, the one who doted on her the most since she was a child.
Qing Yue hated Qing Yunyao to death. It must be her. She had done something wrong and she wanted to get rid of the whole family, but she targeted Qing Zhan. She had lived in that family for fourteen years. How could she be so cruel?
"We have to save him, but if you go to the Qing family now, are you sure they will let you save Qing Zhan? Not only will you not be able to help, but you will expose yourself instead. It's not worth it."
Feng Ling shook her head.
After hearing what Feng Ling said, Qing Yue suppressed the anxiety in her heart and forced herself to calm down.
"This matter requires long-term consideration."
Feng Ling said.
He tapped his fingers on the wheelchair, his eyes dark.
"Feng Ling, I want to go see Qing Zhan."
Qing Yue raised her head, with a little redness at the corners of her eyes, and spoke softly, meeting Feng Ling's eyes.
There was a hint of pleading in Qing Yue's eyes. If Feng Ling hadn't brought her with her, she wouldn't have been able to enter the Qing family.
Feng Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and seeing her suppressed anxiety, he asked, "Are you afraid that something will happen to Qing Er?"
Although it is a rhetorical question, it is actually an affirmative sentence.
After being with Qin Wan for such a long time, this woman has always been able to control her emotions very well, but this time when Qing Er got into trouble, she was completely panicked. She even turned around and went to the general's mansion as soon as she heard the news, which shows how anxious she was.
Qing Yue's heart skipped a beat when she saw Feng Ling's probing gaze. She then looked away and said, "He's my senior sister's second brother. I naturally don't want anything to happen to him."
Feng Ling lowered his eyes, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
"Pack up and go to the General's Mansion. Something has happened to the Second Young Master of the Qing Family, and I should express my gratitude."
Feng Ling spoke, and Qing Yue immediately understood what he meant and nodded, "Feng Ling, thank you very much."
"You helped me, so I will naturally show my sincerity. Let's go."
Feng Ling's words showed that he had agreed to cooperate with her. The sincerity she had shown in what she said last night had won his trust.
The carriage rumbled towards the Qing family, with Zhong Wu driving. Qing Yue was very anxious along the way, but she had to remain calm on the surface. Just in case, she carried silver needles and life-saving pills with her.
The Qing family and Prince Yu's mansion are not on the same street, but they are not far apart and can be reached in a cup of tea.
When something happened to the second son of the Qing family, many noble families who were on good terms with the Qing family came to visit and sent the best medicinal materials to the Qing family. The Qing family's special housekeeper was welcoming the guests at the door, and when he saw the carriage from Prince Yu's mansion, he immediately went to greet it.
"This old servant greets Prince Yu and Princess Yu."
"Get up and take me to see General Qing."
"Your Majesty, please follow me this way."
The housekeeper, Uncle Liu, led the way in front, and Qingyue followed behind Feng Ling, feeling extremely anxious. She could not help but feel her eyes red as she walked on the bluestone road and looked at the plants and trees in the garden. There was especially a cherry tree in the small courtyard, which looked particularly conspicuous. That was when she was six years old and she kept clamoring to eat fresh cherries. Her second brother got them from somewhere and planted them directly in the small garden, saying that they were the most eye-catching there, and that her sister could just pick them and eat them when they were ripe.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed and things and people have changed.
Qing Yue blinked, holding back the tears in her eyes.
"This old minister greets Prince Yu and Princess Yu."
When we arrived at the second courtyard, Qing Leishan came to greet us. The tall man had a tired look on his face and his eyes were bloodshot.
When Qingyue saw her father like this, she felt like a needle was stabbing her heart.
"General Qing, I heard something happened to Qing Er, so I came to see him. How is he?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Qing Zhan..."
Qing Leishan turned his head away before he finished speaking. The tough man looked so fragile at this moment.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Feng Ling said.
Qing Leishan nodded and immediately led Feng Ling and Qing Yue into the house.
Qing Yue almost didn't dare to look into Qing Leishan's eyes, for fear that she would cry.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard a voice from inside, "Mother, please don't cry. Don't cry and hurt your eyes. There must be other ways to save my second brother."
It was Qing Yunyao's voice.
Qing Yue's expression suddenly turned cold. When she heard Qing Yunyao's voice, she wanted to tear her into pieces.
"Madam, Yue'er, Prince Yu and Princess Yu are here."
Qing Leishan shouted from outside, and then saw Liu Wan and Qing Yunyao walking out together.
"I have seen..."
"Madam Qing, please stand up. I heard that something happened to Qing Er, so I came to see."
Feng Ling said, raising his hand to stop Liu Wan from saluting.
Liu Wan's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face was very pale. After just one glance, Qing Yue quickly turned her eyes away. She couldn't bear it.
She missed her mother so much, but she didn't expect to meet her under such circumstances.
At this time, Qing Yunyao was supporting Liu Wan, but her eyes were fixed on Qin Wan's face, trying to find something unusual on her face.
Qin Wan raised her eyes and met Qing Yunyao's. There was no expression on her face, and she didn't say anything.
"Your Highness, please come in."
Qing Leishan said, suppressing his grief.
Feng Ling and Qin Wan entered the inner room together, and immediately saw Qing Zhan lying on the bed. His peach blossom eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale without a trace of blood, but his lips were black, and it was obvious that he was deeply poisoned.
Qingyue's heart was broken.
But she couldn't show anything and could only look indifferent.
"Has the murderer been caught?"
