YM778.TV Chapter 1333: Couple in the Same Room
The Palace Lord asked Ling Yin to bring Qianrong to the four elders to deal with impartially.
The Hundred Flowers Palace was magnanimous to their disciples under the condition that they did not cross their bottom line.
The crime of betrayal was unforgivable in the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Wei Xu also mentioned that he did not kill Jiang Guanchao.
The Palace Lord agreed with Wei Xu’s actions. She also felt that it was more beneficial to keep Jiang Guanchao alive.
Other than business, she still had something to say in her heart. “General Wei, I really have to thank you on behalf of Ling Yun this time. In his life, he has never had a male elder treat him like this.”
There were many palace maids and few men, and the elders were all women.
Even his biological father had never given him fatherly love, but Wei Xu had.
It was risking his life and giving up his warm love. It was also a mountain-like protection.
“I can feel that he’s much happier than before after returning to the island. Really, I have to thank you.”
Wei Xu said gently, “We’re the ones who should thank you. Let’s not talk about this. We’re all on the same side.”
–
When he came out of Towering Palace, Wei Xu saw Ling Yun lingering at the door.
He walked over pleasantly. “Waiting for me?”
Ling Yun nodded gently. “I have something to say to General Wei.”
Xiahou Qing announced Ling Yun’s background. It seemed that he couldn’t continue to be his father anymore…
Wei Xu thought regretfully.
Wei Xu said, “Let’s talk at your place.”
The two of them arrived at the Azure Cloud Palace and entered Ling Yun’s room. They sat opposite each other on the futon.
Beside them were three clean little futons and a small velvet blanket unique to Wei Xiaobao.
Ling Yun poured tea for Wei Xu.
The two of them sat quietly in silence.
Wei Xu did not rush him.
After a long time, Ling Yun said softly, “A few years ago, I went to Broken North Pass and saw Old General Wei. It wasn’t a coincidence. I… deliberately went to look for him.”
“Is that so?” Wei Xu replied, not telling Lingyun Jiang Guanchao what he had said.
Ling Yun said, “I went to look for Old General Wei because I heard that he knew the secret of the Xiahou family. I hated the Xiahou family and wanted to get my hands on this secret. When I arrived at the Broken North Pass, I realized that Old General Wei knew nothing about the Xiahou family.”
Wei Xu said, “You mentioned the Xiahou family to my father?”
Ling Yun said in a low voice, “Yes. Let me tell you, I only met Old General Wei that time. We’ve met three times in private. The third time, he told me that he had something for me that might help me answer my doubts. Not long after, he was tragically killed by Helian Ye. I often wonder if I implicated him. Perhaps it was because of our meeting that Old General Wei was targeted…”
Wei Xu paused. “Where did you hear that my father knew the Xiahou family’s secret?”
“The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.”
Wei Xu looked into Ling Yun’s eyes. “The person who led you to see my father is the culprit. Everything was his scheme. Moreover, even I didn’t know about my father meeting you, let alone others. You didn’t implicate my father. My father must have been fully prepared to see you.”
Ling Yun’s eyes trembled. “Really?”
Wei Xu nodded. “Yes, the reason why my father was poisoned was that he trusted someone easily. That person was not you.”
It was the former “King Nanyang”.
The knot in Ling Yun’s heart was undone, and he relaxed.
Wei Xu smiled and said, “Sleep early.”
Ling Yun replied obediently, “Yes.”
–
On the other side, Ghostfear was also prepared to rest.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Who’s there in the middle of the night?”
He asked angrily.
There was no response from outside the door.
Ghostfear sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly opened the door. It saw Chu Feifeng standing at the door with a bag in her arms. Her face red from being shouted at.
Ghostfear was flustered. “I… I thought it was Second Brother and Sixth Brother.”
Ghostfear looked at the bag in her hand and hurriedly opened the door wide. “Come, come in!”
Chu Feifeng entered the house with her head lowered.
Ghostfear was overjoyed, but he pretended to be calm. “Aren’t you going to accompany Xiaobao tonight?”
Chu Feifeng said in a low voice, “It won’t be good if Dad sees me sleeping in separate rooms with you.”
Ghostfear’s excitement of wanting to set off fireworks just now was completely dampened.
–
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao went to the pharmacy to water the herbs.
On this trip, a total of two herbs were brought back. One was picked by Wei Xu, and the other was picked by Wei Liulang.
Wei Liulang plucked randomly. He did not expect to pluck a genuine herb. It was really a coincidence.
Then, Su Xiaoxiao brought out the dragon crystal from the mechanism box and took it to Wei Xu’s room. She told him about opening the mechanism box. She only said that she had discovered it long ago and decisively received a wave of praise from his father-in-law.
Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood!
Wei Xu said, “So there’s a dragon crystal in the box.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Dad, have you seen this dragon crystal anywhere before? A portrait, a sculpture, or something?”
Wei Xu recalled carefully and shook his head. “I don’t remember.”
Perhaps he had indeed never seen it before. Perhaps he had seen it. It was just that during the few years he was drugged in the Southern Wilderness, he had lost a portion of his memory and could not remember.
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Looks like I have to go to the City Lord Manor and start with Xiahou Qing.”
As the two of them were talking, someone came from Ling Yun’s side. He said that he wanted Wei Qing and Su Xiaoxiao to go over. Someone from the Western Jin came.
Ghostfear also went.
The three of them never expected that the person who came was actually Mo Xie.
“Mr. Zhuge, Madam Wei, Young Master Wei.”
Mo Xie cupped his hands in greeting.
He already knew the true identities of Wei Qing and Ghostfear.
The three of them greeted him.
Mo Xie had changed a lot. He was much more haggard and injured.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Xing’er, “Go get my first aid kit.”
“Yes, my lady.”
Xing’er left quickly.
Mo Xie hurriedly said, “This small injury is fine.”
“Tell me why you suddenly returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Returned.
Mo Xie was from the Hundred Flowers Palace?
Mo Ye said with a complicated expression, “The Eldest Prince and Princess were captured by the two brothers of the Xiahou family.”
Wei Qing frowned.
Ghostfear also frowned. “Weren’t the two of them fine when we left the Western Jin?”
Mo Ye said sadly and angrily, “That’s right. The Xiahou brothers were forced out of the Western Jin Kingdom. I thought they had escaped, but who knew that they would turn around and kidnap Her Highness? His eldest Highness was captured to save Her Highness.”
Ling Yun said, “I’m going to the City Lord Manor.”
Wei Qing stopped him. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t get involved.”
Ling Yun said seriously, “If it’s about the Xiahou family, it has something to do with me.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What are you going to do?”
Ling Yun said, “Ask for them directly.”
–
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want Ling Yun to face this matter alone, so she went to the City Lord Manor with him.
She was there to take a pulse.
Coincidentally, Xiahou Qing had been suffering from insomnia and dreams recently. He was indeed not in good health.
When Ling Yun saw him, he had just woken up from his afternoon nap and looked a little haggard.
“I was just about to visit you at the Hundred Flowers Palace,” Xiahou Qing said.
Su Xiaoxiao sized him up without blinking. “Has the City Lord been too tired recently? You don’t look too good.”
“Ah, there’s a lot going on on the island. It’s fine.”
He said nonchalantly and let the two of them sit down.
The servant served tea and snacks and silently retreated.
Xiahou Qing said to Ling Yun, “Why did you come to the City Lord Manor today?”
“You haven’t been to the Hundred Flowers Palace for a few days, so I came to take a look.”
Xiahou Qing, who was suddenly cared for by his son, could not believe his ears.
However, before he could finish being happy, he heard Ling Yun say, “I heard that your adopted son captured two people from the Western Jin.”
Xiahou Qing paused and looked at Ling Yun suspiciously. “That’s true. Who did you hear it from?”
He did not announce that the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eldest Prince were imprisoned in the dungeon.
Other than him, Xiahou Zheng, and Xiahou Yu, only the elders knew.
Ling Yun said bluntly, “Their subordinates have found their way to the Hundred Flowers Palace. When I was traveling outside the island, I lived in Western Jin for a while. The two of them are my friends and have taken good care of me in Western Jin. I want you to let them go.”
