Yun Canglan walked over to Yang Tianyun eyeing her, up and down, giving her the once over. Yang Tianyun had proven herself as the first beauty of the Ling Kingdom. She plaintively looked at Yang Gezhi, with mixed feelings of love and hate in her face.
Yun Canglan gazed at her. Her tears made Yun Canglan uncomfortable.
Then Yun Canglan turned and walked to the brocade quilt. Yun Qi stepped forward and threw back the covers. On the pink bed sheet, there was a dark red blood stain right in front of everyone.
Yun Canglan glanced at the blood stain indifferently before she took a step back. Yun Qi stepped closer, examining the stain. He touched it with his index finger and smelled it under the watchful eye of the public. He quickly took a clean handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the offensive blood from his index finger. Disgusted, he tossed it away.
At that moment, there was an odd expression on Yang Tianyun's tear-stained face, but she concealed it before almost anyone noticed. Since Yun Canglan was keeping a close eye on her, so she hadn't missed the fleeting expression.
Yun Qi walked to Yun Canglan and whispered in her ear. Yun Canglan was shocked and asked, "Really?" Yun Qi silently nodded and Yun Canglan regained her calm exterior.
Yun Canglan had an authoritative demeanor when she turned back around, "Emperor Ling, how did you discover this incident?"
Yang Gezhi's were full of affection as he watched Yun Canglan's every move closely.
Yun Canglan was looking directly at Emperor Ling when she questioned him; he looked away, choking as he sputtered, "I...I..."
d Yang Gezhi, why did she try to seduce her dear Wu Jin away from her?
Yang Gezhi suddenly lifted his heavy head and stared affectionately at Yun Canglan. He never dreamed Yun Canglan come to help him like this, or that she would say that. He couldn't believe his ears.
Did this mean Yun Canglan was willing to accept him?
Qin Liuren's eyes narrowed to slits. He looked back and forth between Yun Canglan and Yang Gezhi a few times before he looked away.
Yun Canglan went back, ignoring Yang Tianxin, and turned back to the servant girl, "Are you able to tell me now?"
The servant shuddered as she raised her head quickly glancing at Yun Canglan, "The Princess went to bed at midnight. Since she didn't need us to keep watch at night, we went to bed."
"Midnight?" Yun Canglan repeated and added, "Princess Tianyun had a good day yesterday and she enjoyed the night view till midnight."
The servant hemmed and hawed, and Emperor Ling swiftly stepped forward, "Lady Yun'er, Tianyun played chess with me till midnight, and then I asked her to get some sleep."
