His Majesty Ling Lai didn't comfort Shang Yao in the usual way. She also understood that Shang Jingtian's death was heavy and complicated for Shang Yao.
Therefore, His Majesty Ling Lai directly prescribed a strong medicine for her. It made Shang Yao realize the reality. Her so-called sadness came from both her heart and the outside world. What was done could not be undone. The only thing she could do was to accept everything and treat it with a normal heart.
Otherwise, there would only be endless soul interrogations and it would be of no use.
Shang Yao picked up the teacup again and took a sip slowly. "I used to think you were cruel and cold-blooded. Now, it seems like we are the same kind of person. "
Then, Shang Yao looked at His Majesty Ling Lai. "Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I was just speaking my mind."
"It's okay." His Majesty Ling Lai shook his head. "I am indeed a cruel woman. This is an indisputable fact. "
"I will return to Hua Xia in a few days." Shang Yao pursed her lips. "No matter what, I am his only daughter. I should prepare for his funeral."
"If you really feel uncomfortable, think about how he came to kill you. If it was you who died, how sad would he be? "His Majesty Ling Lai pursed his lips and said.
Shang Yao shook her head and said, "Perhaps he won't be sad at all. But there might also be a hint of sadness. "
"That's not important anymore." His Majesty Ling Lai said slowly. Suddenly, she changed the topic. "But I hope you can correct your attitude. Especially towards Boss Xiao. "
Shang Yao opened her mouth but was at a loss for words in the end.
She was indeed a little against this. Especially when her father was killed by Xiao Zheng. It was hard for any daughter to accept.
But when she asked this question, she seemed so conflicted.
Xiao Zheng had killed her father to save her. How could she blame Xiao Zheng?
After all, Xiao Zheng had once saved her life.
"Life is really too complicated." Shang Yao said bitterly. "The person who saved your life is actually the person who killed your father."
King Ling Lai raised his eyebrows and said, "Boss Xiao only saved your life. That's the point. As for who he killed, others can accurately judge, but you can't. "
Shang Yao nodded and sighed, "I know that I have no right to blame Boss Xiao. But I — "
"The only thing you can be unreasonable about is that you didn't beg Boss Xiao to save you. Am I right? "King Ling Lai asked. "But what I want to tell you is, don't touch Boss Xiao at this moment. He knows he killed your father with his own hands. Any abnormal reaction from you might hurt him. You might even become estranged from him. "
"From a certain point of view, he felt guilty toward you," King Ling Lai said slowly.
Shang Yao sighed and said, "I understand."
…
It was a quiet night.
Xiao Zheng's injuries were not light. Killing Shang Jingtian was equivalent to clearing up the complicated situation in Sijiu City. The Yan and Shang Families would join hands and both would be under Shang Yao's control. To the Resistance Alliance, this was a great piece of news.
Of course, Xiao Zheng came to Dongjing to assassinate Shang Jingtian not without this consideration. In this aspect, King Ling Lai probably understood him the best.
That was why he told Shang Yao not to touch certain sensitive areas. If she said too much, she might really become estranged from Xiao Zheng from then on.
At their position, who would do something purely without any consideration for their own interests? Even if King Ling Lai protected Shang Yao, would he not get anything in return?
Shang Yao might even take the initiative to offer to repay King Ling Lai.
However, it was precisely because of the complicated relationship between Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao that they couldn't discuss and weigh it with pure interests.
Pure benefits? Nope.
Like Old Lin, who did not hide anything? Nope.
The more complicated the relationship, the more headaches it would be to deal with it. While Xiao Zheng was recuperating in the palace, he received many discussions about Shang Jingtian from Hua Xia.
He learned that Shang Jingtian died overseas. Many people found it hard to believe. But putting aside whether it was a conspiracy or a natural death, many people believed that once Shang Yao returned, he would take over the Yan and Shang Families.
Once Shang Yao ascended to the throne, who would benefit the most?
Xiao Zheng!
Who didn't know that for Xiao Zheng, Shang Yao would rather fall out with his father, Shang Jingtian?
Therefore, a conspiracy theory started to spread.
Shang Jingtian's death was caused by Xiao Zheng. The reason was that Xiao Zheng wanted to achieve his unspeakable goal.
Regarding this, Xiao Zheng only smiled and said, "If I can achieve this goal, I don't mind taking the blame. Of course — this is not considered a scapegoat. I was indeed the one who killed him. "
King Ling Lai took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "With Boss Xiao's connections in Hua Xia, I believe there is no need for me to explain. That would seem pretentious. "
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "There is no need. The more I explain, the more complicated it will be."
King Ling Lai nodded and said tentatively, "I have already arranged your plane tickets. Sit with me. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng's action of drinking tea paused for a moment. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Is Boss Xiao afraid of embarrassment?" King Ling Lai asked.
"I don't mind," Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "I think Miss Shang can't face me."
"My old classmate is not as weak as you think." King Ling Lai blinked and said. "Otherwise, she wouldn't be who she is today."
"In that case, thank you, King Ling Lai," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Then, he glanced at King Ling Lai's legs and said, "Your Majesty's doctor said that your legs have a good chance to recover?"
"There is not much chance to recover completely. But it shouldn't be too difficult for me to stand up, "King Ling Lai said with a smile. "After all, although I am not as strong as Boss Xiao, I am still a ninja master. My body's recovery ability is definitely stronger than ordinary people."
Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "That's good. I wish you a speedy recovery, Your Majesty. "
King Ling Lai smiled and suddenly said cautiously, "Your Majesty, after this trip to Tokyo, my old classmate has become an orphan. Please take care of her. "
Xiao Zheng was a little surprised and curious at first. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Shang is the heir of the Yan family after all. Why would she need my care?"
"I am not talking about work, but daily life." King Ling Lai suddenly moved closer to Xiao Zheng and a fragrant wind hit his nose.
Xiao Zheng's heart tightened as he asked curiously, "Daily life?"
His Majesty Ling Lai saw Xiao Zheng pretending to be stupid, and he couldn't help but say with a smile, "Now Miss Shang is at her softest time. I think no matter what rude request Boss Xiao makes, I believe she will not refuse."
After that, King Ling Lai pushed his wheelchair and left the room. Before he left, he said, "I've just told Miss Shang that you'll help her pack her luggage."
