The young man in front of him was no ordinary wealthy businessman or official. At the very least, he was of the marquis rank …

Hua Hou used to frequent the brothel, so he had naturally seen the first name Hua Kui. This young man was much more imposing than Hua Hou, perhaps …

Yes...

Not daring to speculate further, Lian Feng and Lian Lu looked at each other and exchanged glances in tacit understanding.

If the current Son of Heaven was able to make him look down on the nobility, then who was Young Master Qing?

Heh … No wonder she was such a heroine. Even a woman could dominate the capital's' business circle '…

"Even if you want to repay me, you don't have to get so close." Seeing the two beauties leaving him without a sense of loyalty, Ling Qing did not make it difficult for them to stay. He retreated a little, leaving a spacious space for Ling Chen.

"This censer of yours, should I throw it away?" Ling Xingran acted as if he didn't hear anything as he walked up to her and moved the small censer to the side and asked.

"Don't break my stuff." Ling Tian Qing hurriedly held the censer in his arms to prevent it from breaking under his kick.

She had spent a lot of effort to find all these materials, so he would understand how great of an "incense mixer" she was in the future.

"From today onwards, I will be together with you at all times." Seeing her hugging the censer like a precious treasure, Ling Jin sighed and said.

It was not because he wanted to pursue them so closely, he was already very satisfied with the relationship they had yesterday. However, since Master Qing Xu had secretly played and Phoenix City had changed, he had no choice but to stay close to him in case of any more accidents.

Now that Wen Han and the empress dowager were gone, who could threaten the little queen?

Ling Zui was worried that something might happen to the weapons.

"Alright, let's continue with our conversation from last night. We'll talk about humanism …" Ling Tian then tossed a Snow Heart Lotus into the censer, causing the smell inside to change subtly.

It was as though the entire air had turned slightly colder, causing one to lose all sleepiness.

"Do you know who tried to kill you that time?" Ling Xuejian, however, did not want to speak anymore. All he could think about was who was going to harm the Queen.

He really wanted to return home immediately.

However, Master Qing Xu said that it would be inappropriate to return to the capital at this time …

"Which time did you say?" Ling Tian Qing asked in confusion, as if he had forgotten the past.

"The time you were shot." Ling Xuanxin didn't want to tell her about the incident when she came back from Wen Han's side.

Warm and cold was the pain in his heart.

"Oh …" That time … Why are you suddenly interested in this matter? " Ling Tian asked as he shook the incense burner.

"That time, your trip was confidential, but someone ambushed you …"

"I know who did it." Ling Tian smiled gently.

"You … "You know?" Ling Zui was startled, and then asked, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"At that time, I was afraid that you would be angry and lose half of your life after taking back that life. Thus, I never mentioned this matter." Ling Tian Qing was calm.

Speaking of his previous wounds, it was as though he was talking about something insignificant.

As for Ling Zui, he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.

Back then … Are you so afraid of him?

"In the end, I grew to like you, so I didn't want to talk to you about it. Anyway, it's already in the past, so I didn't die …" "If I say it out loud, it will cause trouble for you. As for me …" Ling Qing looked at Ling Lingcun before smiling sweetly, "I can't bear to see you like this."

That was the truth.

At that time, Ling Chen had been busy with national affairs and had treated her well, so Ling Tian Qing did not want to bother him again with the things that had happened in the past.

"You … Do you really know who it is? " When Ling Jing heard these words that seemed like they were filled with calmness, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Heard... When a person can open his own scar for others to see, it means that the wound has already healed and will no longer hurt …

Ling Tian Qing took the initiative to mention that he liked her before. She didn't care about him anymore?

He said he wanted to reunite, but in his heart … I don't care about him at all.

"I haven't played chess with you in a long time. Do you want another round?" Ling Qing asked with a smile.

"Why didn't you say that back then …" Ling Xuejian seemed to be muttering to himself.

His queen, the queen, looks young and misty, but has a pair of intelligent eyes.

At that time, she didn't say it out loud, but it really was because … Like him?

Was it because she liked him so much that she didn't want to use her past grudges to disturb his heart? Did he like it so much that he would rather swallow his anger than let his feelings show that he was happy and calm?

"I believe that the king is meticulous in his actions, and would never let anyone find out about the details of his actions. Unfortunately, his whereabouts are still so hidden, or he was ambushed. He must be someone from within the palace."

Ling Tian Qing took out two jars and passed them to Ling Xi, continuing, "If you want to kill even Ling Xue, it's not your order. In the imperial palace, the only people who want me dead are you and the empress dowager."

She was right. At that time, the person who wanted her dead was a noble one.

He wanted to kill her.

But now that he heard these words from her, Ling Ziling felt a chill in her heart as she almost crushed her chess set.

She … He seemed careless, but he was constantly reminding himself of how cruel he had been …

"I couldn't even protect myself back then, and I still dared to tell you, your mom wanted to kill me?" Ling Qing saw a flash of pain in Ling Zui's eyes as he smiled, "How would I dare?"

"I didn't even dare to say that Zhou Fangyi wanted to kill me, so how could I dare to denounce the empress dowager without any evidence?"

"Before... "Don't say anymore." Ling Xuanxin knew he was wrong. He shouldn't have mentioned the past.

Ling Qing's reaction caught him off guard.

The little queen who used to be so simple and lovely... It was completely unstoppable.

"Is that an expression of guilt?" Ling Tian Qing was only venting his anger, but did not expect Ling Zhi to have such an apologetic expression. His mood immediately became better, and he let go of Bai as he pleased.

"You should have told me." Thinking about how Ling Tian had hated the Empress Dowager to such an extent, and had even retorted against her at the family banquet, Ling Jin finally understood the reason.

"Heh …" Will you believe me? " Ling Tian retorted coolly.

"Yes." Ling XIao gave a definite answer this time.

"Then, will you seek justice for me?" Ling Qing asked again.

"Yes." Ling Xuanxin hesitated for a moment before he nodded.

"Forget it …" [It's rare that you have such a close relative. I don't want you to be one …] "Alone." Seeing his hesitation, Ling Qing did not pierce through his lies.

He might believe her, but the latter would never do it.

At that time, Ling Xiang would only measure the stability of the mountains and rivers and the safety of his plans, and would never let a woman ruin a major event for him.

Ling Jin heard the faint trace of pity in her voice, and was stunned, in the blink of an eye, his black cloth was already surrounded by Bai Zi like a tiger staring covetously at its prey.

"But... She's not me... "Mother of blood." After a long while, Ling Chen finally recovered from his heart-palpitating gentleness as he spoke without concealing anything.

"Oh."

Once again, to Ling Chen's surprise, Ling Tianqing only uttered a meaningless monosyllabic phrase, which caused his face to fall. There was no expression of surprise on his face.

This secret matter of the royal family... She had already seen through it?

"So …" You are the only one that I have. " Ling Lingcun did not have time to think about how earth-shattering his words just now were. He had to finish with this important line.

Just as she had said at that time, he was the only member of her clan.

And his kin were also her alone.

"Heh." Ling Tian then smiled and retracted his hand. As he looked at the emerald green bracelet on his wrist, he could not help but frown.

She used to … He thought so too.

"Qing'er." Ling Jin was greatly infuriated by her attitude, and it wasn't easy for him to confess with a few words of his own. Her reaction was very displeasing.

Moreover, as she spoke, her landing speed was so fast that it had already cut off his escape route.

Although her thoughts were not on the game of chess, she could not possibly be attacked so quickly. Ling Xuanxin was secretly shocked, not only because of her reaction, but also because her thoughts were not affected by what she had just said.

She … Was this the tempo of someone turning into a monster?

It was inconceivable that someone would use such a clear mind to play chess in such an emotional moment.

"He's going to lose." Ling Tian Qing put down the white stone with a smile, "Do you want to give up?"

He recalled his previous encounter with Ling Xiang, which would end the match immediately before Hei Zi was defeated and save face.

At this moment, Ling Zui's eyes were filled with astonishment and patience. "Why should I give up?"

Unless it was at the final moment, how could they determine the outcome?

"If I were you, I'd give up." Ling Tian looked at him and smiled, "Why was it that I was able to do it in the past but can't do it now?"

That's right, why did he give up so easily in the past? And now … He knew he would lose, yet he still chose to fight?

Ling Xuanxin gently closed his eyes. He did not want to run away anymore.

He was not a God of All Things, even though... He looked invincible, but in truth, he only knew how to avoid failure.

It wasn't the first time he'd lost in her hands, and he didn't mind losing one more time.

"I want to see if I can persevere to the end and turn the tide." Ling Zui was determined to fight her to the death.

Perhaps, if she didn't detect it soon, he would be able to make use of the opportunity and make a comeback.

Or perhaps … She would lose without a trace to him, just like she used to.

"Alright."

Ling Tianqing burst out laughing, and Mingxiu's face became even more radiant.

Did he think she would give you a chance to turn the tide?

Ling Tian Qing would only let him see what kind of miracle would happen if he persisted on.

She had insisted, even bowed her head, and begged him to stay with her, but in the end?

It would be like a game of chess in which the outcome of the match was already decided. The more the match went to the end, the more miserable the loser would become.

Until there was nothing left, not even a wreckage.

Ling Lingcun's expression turned uglier and uglier, and the speed at which he was playing chess became slower and slower.

He really did not expect that Ling Tian Qing would not give up at all. He would fight for every inch of land, and kill him until he was in a miserable state.

As expected, she didn't give him the chance to turn the tide.

He was finally able to see how miserable it was to persevere like this …

"You are also very powerful." Ling Tian Qing smiled as he looked at Ling Xin Lian. Without waiting for her to get angry, he said softly, "Not everyone can persevere to such an extent."

He could only watch helplessly as his own Blackie was surrounded and devoured. He could only watch helplessly as despair replaced his hope. This was not something that anyone who was the king could accomplish.

"Are you praising me or insulting me?" Ling Jin asked lightly, feeling displeased from the failure he had endured.

The soft and gentle voice of the little queen, smiling, really made people angry.
