Xiao Zheng followed the servants to Ling Lai's residence. Outside the door, he smelled a strong murderous aura. Obviously, what happened to King Ling Lai at the wedding had caused great tension in the royal family. The process was absurd, and the people involved were unbelievable. But how could his subordinates dare to suspect His Majesty's words?
Therefore, when King Ling Lai was sent to the residence, the security system nearby was immediately upgraded to the highest level. Even Xiao Zheng went through a search and body search before he entered the residence.
It was not hard to tell how important King Ling Lai's safety was to the royal family.
It was not hard to imagine that if King Ling Lai really died at the wedding tonight. None of the guards responsible for King Ling Lai's safety would escape. They would all be punished.
After Xiao Zheng entered the residence, he did not see King Ling Lai right away. Instead, he was led to the reception room in the residence by two maids.
Perhaps because the situation was too tense, even King Ling Lai did not act as presumptuously as usual. He brought Xiao Zheng to the bedroom.
Pushing open the door of the reception room, Xiao Zheng saw King Ling Lai in casual clothes. She was calmly drinking her tea, not showing the slightest trace of panic on her face.
This was King Ling Lai.
He was vicious and merciless, and he was decisive in killing.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, but he felt bitterness in his mouth.
"Are you surprised?" King Ling Lai waved his hand and gestured for Xiao Zheng to take a seat.
After Xiao Zheng sat down slowly, a subtle expression appeared on his face. He looked up, only to see King Ling Lai gazing at him with a relaxed expression. He could not help but take a deep breath. Pursing his lips, he said, "Your Majesty, what you did was too risky."
He knew that it was all part of King Ling Lai's plan.
From choosing Muto in the beginning, to taking care of Muto in the end. Everything was under the control of King Ling Lai.
It was just that — he did not know how Her Majesty Ling Lai could do these things perfectly. How should he deal with the next troublesome matter?
Muto was seriously injured and might even die in the hospital.
Would the Muto family let this go?
Even if the Wuteng family were to fall, would the force behind it let His Majesty Ling Lai go?
Just as Xiao Zheng had said, what His Majesty Ling Lai had done was too risky.
"It's worth the risk." His Majesty Ling Lai smiled, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light. "Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with what I said. He did carry a gun with him and even drew it — "
Gunshots don't lie.
Muto's fingerprints were also on the gun.
All of this would be investigated by professionals. His Majesty Ling Lai did not lie.
Of course, it was only partly true.
Xiao Zheng looked up at His Majesty Ling Lai. "What's going on?"
"I arranged for an assassin to come in. Muto has a gun, and he's afraid that I want to harm him, "His Majesty Ling Lai said with narrowed eyes. "Of course, he will draw his gun and even shoot."
"As long as no one doubts this part, no one will doubt what I say and do next. Of course, no one dares to doubt it either, "His Majesty Ling Lai said with pursed lips.
"If Muto wakes up, he will definitely tell the truth," Xiao Zheng said with a frown.
His Majesty Ling Lai was too terrifying.
She actually planned to put Muto to death. No, if His Majesty Ling Lai really wanted Muto to die, he would never make it to the hospital.
What she wanted was to intimidate the cabinet?
To make those old guys not dare to mess around anymore?
"What truth does he want to tell?" His Majesty Ling Lai said with narrowed eyes. "It's true that he carries a gun with him. It's also true that he shot him. I don't think he could have told a bigger lie to cover up the truth. "
"Why would he carry a gun?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Which groom would carry a gun on their wedding day? It was illogical. Unless there was a conspiracy.
"They don't know me. But Prince Miyamoto knows me very well. I guess I carry a gun for self-defense, "His Majesty Ling Lai said slowly. "Perfect. It gives me a chance to make a move."
So, it was Prince Miyamoto who harmed Muto?
Xiao Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Maybe even Prince Miyamoto's life wouldn't be easy after this.
Xiao Zheng shook his head and looked at His Majesty Ling Lai again. "What next? Will the Muto family let it go? "
"They won't let it go?" His Majesty Ling Lai said with narrowed eyes. "I entrusted myself to the Muto family, but Muto hurt me. I should be the one who won't let it go, right? "
Xiao Zheng was dazed. He lit a cigarette and said, "You're right."
His Majesty Ling Lai took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I won't pursue this matter anymore. Next, they will send someone to negotiate with me. As for the outcome of the negotiation, it depends on how sincere both sides are. But no matter what the result is, it will be a long process. "
Xiao Zheng caught the intention of His Majesty Ling Lai. "You want to buy time through this?"
"Yes, but not all of them." But not all of them, "Ling Lai said with a smile. "Boss Xiao, you don't understand our internal struggle. It's much more difficult than what the outside world can imagine. Even … "
Pausing, His Majesty Ling Lai said word by word, "If I back off or show weakness. Maybe the one sitting in this position today won't be me anymore. It'll be my little Imperial Uncle. "
Xiao Zheng frowned and said, "I heard from the people outside. Your Majesty, you want too much. If you're willing to keep a low profile and not be so competitive. You can live a comfortable life. "
"Is this what Shang Yao told you, Boss Xiao?" His Majesty Ling Lai squinted his eyes.
Xiao Zheng shook his head but didn't refute.
"It's easy for my old classmate to say that." Her Majesty Ling Lai sighed. "Not to mention me, wasn't she forced into a dead end by Shang Jingtian back then? Don't fight for it? Don't fight for it? Boss Xiao, you must have experienced it yourself. At our position, not fighting for it is equivalent to admitting defeat. And the only result of admitting defeat is to be eliminated by the enemy. There's no other way. "
Xiao Zheng listened to Her Majesty Ling Lai patiently and took a deep breath. He took a deep breath and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what did you do to Muto?"
This was the crux of the matter.
If it was just a serious injury, there was still room for negotiation. After all, the Muteng family had indeed done some irrational things. For example, bringing guns.
"What happened?" His Majesty Ling Lai squinted his eyes and asked slowly. "I cut off the roots of his descendants. They can only be eunuchs for the rest of their lives. "
Xiao Zheng's scalp went numb when he heard that.
Cut off the roots of his descendants?
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but clamp his legs together. He felt a chill down his spine.
This woman — was truly vicious to the extreme!
