Leng Qingning's blunt question left not only the Holy Son speechless, but also Shen Su looking quite embarrassed.
What do you mean by saying that following anyone would be better than staying in Lebanon?
On second thought, Da Yue was indeed richer than Li Guo, and its national status was also higher among the six kingdoms.
So, is she saying that I'm out of touch with reality? She actually openly rejected me last time?
It should be, after all, she is the young ruler of Dayue, with an extremely noble status.
Thinking of this, Shen Su was speechless in rebuttal.
Heaven knows that at this moment, some people's faces had turned as black as iron.
Leng Qingning spoke her mind without thinking and didn't notice the man's reaction next to her.
Even if you noticed, you wouldn't be able to tell; half of her face was covered, leaving only a pair of cold eyes radiating anger.
"You'd better tell the truth, or you'll only suffer a worse fate."
Leng Qingning gave the man on the ground a "kind reminder".
"Also, what's going on between you and the Fourth Princess? How did you end up explaining everything in her private villa?"
Shen Su was forced to become mute at this time.
Leng Qingning was more concerned about colluding with the Fourth Princess than Shen Su.
When Leng Qingning's threatening words reached the ears of the Holy Son, he knew that playing the victim was no longer going to help.
The Holy Son's face turned ashen, a deep sorrow welling up within him, and tears streamed down his trembling body.
"If you two are willing to spare my life, I will confess everything."
Upon hearing this, before Leng Qingning could even get angry, Biluo stepped forward aggressively and slapped the Holy Son across the face.
"You audacious traitor, who do you think you are? Who gave you the audacity to bargain with our young prince?"
Leng Qingning gave her subordinate a thumbs-up and praised, "Well done!"
The task of hitting men should be left to others.
Shen Su: "..."
"The master and servant have a good relationship!"
But this is my prisoner…”
No one stepped on him.
After hitting the person, Biluo slowly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her hands and then retreated.
The words "Our young king" echoed in the mind of the beaten holy son.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes blurred with tears. "You?"
"You are the young prince?" The voice was filled with surprise.
That's right?
Leng Qingning frowned and slowly nodded: "Yes."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the Holy Son's expression suddenly changed drastically. He lowered his head in dejection and gave a self-deprecating laugh. It turned out that this beautiful woman was the young ruler.
Leng Qingning sensed something was wrong, judging from the situation…
So he asked him, "What? Is someone impersonating me?"
"Yes, the Fourth Princess has deceived me."
oh?
“Tell me the whole story from beginning to end.”
The prince hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, organizing his thoughts: "When I was first sent to Dayue, I was very uneasy. Your Highness is right. I did think about gaining power and also about winning the favor of the princess."
"So on my way here, I inquired about some things and learned that I was very likely to become your consort. At that time, I was looking forward to it."
Leng Qingning's reputation as a talented woman spread throughout the entire Hidden World Continent.
"But as soon as I arrived in Dayue, I heard that Your Highness had gone to some immortal mountain to cultivate. I was anxious because I had not been summoned for a long time, so I sent someone to find out what was going on."
"I didn't expect that when the Fourth Princess learned that I had come to arrange a marriage, she tried to meet with me several times, but I did not want to give up the young king, so I ignored her."
Moreover, he had already found out what kind of person Leng Qinghan was; she was a good-for-nothing, and he looked down on her.
There were still dozens of attendants in the mansion, and it is said that seven or eight of them died, their bodies covered in wounds when they died.
The reason is obvious.
"And then?" Biluo asked impatiently.
"Later I heard that the young king had finished his cultivation and returned, but His Majesty still did not summon me or mention the marriage with His Highness. I was very anxious and helpless. After some time, I sent people to inquire again, but I could not find any news about His Highness."
Leng Qingning listened carefully. What he was talking about must have been after she was kidnapped by Sang Ci, when the Empress blocked the news, so naturally she couldn't find out.
The Holy Son continued, "Just then, the Fourth Princess sent another letter, saying that she could help me arrange a meeting with you. I didn't think much of it and went to keep the appointment."
"But the woman she brought was truly ugly, and she said that was Your Highness."
"You believed it?" Leng Qingning was speechless.
The Holy Son shook his head, then nodded.
? ? ?
The three looked at him with suspicion.
"At first, I didn't believe it. Rumors said that Your Highness was a great beauty. But the Fourth Princess secretly told me that it was a rumor, spread by court officials to beautify you."
"Then I saw that the woman impersonating you was so confident in calling me 'Your Highness' that I believed her."
"Your subject cannot accept such a shameful woman..."
"The Fourth Princess wanted me to marry her, but I refused. She then said that if I didn't marry the Princess, I could only marry Her Majesty the Empress. But Her Majesty is already over forty, and I was unwilling to accept that. So, at the Fourth Princess's urging, I ran away..."
"At that time, I was unaware that this was her conspiracy."
After listening, Leng Qingning and Biluo were not particularly surprised.
"Since you escaped, why did you reappear in the Fourth Princess's courtyard?" Shen Su asked.
"Because I was caught by her before I could get very far, she has been sending people to follow me."
"Why did she do that?" Shen Su asked again.
Leng Qingning and Biluo, however, looked knowing and could probably guess the reason.
"I only learned about her purpose later. She lied to me for two reasons: first, she coveted the 50,000 troops under my command; second, she had a grudge against the young prince and deliberately ruined his marriage; and third, she was angry because I had openly rejected her."
"So she tricked her subordinates into fleeing to divert attention, and then secretly imprisoned them. This way, she could monopolize the military tally from them, and no one would suspect her."
"Well, it's a plan that kills three birds with one stone, but it's not very clever, and it's even quite lousy," Leng Qingning said disdainfully.
Biluo looked disgusted. "How can the Fourth Prince still be so stupid? It involves the diplomatic relations between two countries. Does she think that hiding will make everything alright? And she's hiding in Chang Le City."
"Perhaps she also reads Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Is the most dangerous place the safest place?" Leng Qingning mocked deliberately.
After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.
Smiles are contagious, and Shen Su couldn't help but laugh too. "How can she take the military power of my Li Kingdom as she pleases? Doesn't she know that the military tally needs to be re-stamped by the Li Kingdom's Military Supervisory Council before it can be transferred to someone else?"
The Holy Son said calmly, "I didn't tell her."
"puff."
Leng Qingning Biluo laughed out loud at the same time.
"Oh dear, my fourth sister is really quite interesting. Biluo, tell me, how should I deal with her?"
Speaking of this, Biluo became excited and leaned close to Leng Qingning, offering her a long list of suggestions.
