Lu Jiangpeng furrowed his brows, displeasure flashed across his face. He said indifferently, "I don't even know who your father is. Why are you creating trouble for yourself? Moreover, you gave me a ride and I helped you once. We are even now. Let's not talk about other things. "
He flicked his sleeves and walked away, ignoring the two elders.
The two elders stood there in a daze, looking rather awkward. However, Lu Jiangpeng's words were reasonable. Why would he help you for no reason?
Yang Qingxuan understood the reason behind Lu Jiangpeng's rejection. To be hunted by the Imperial Family of Duan Yang Country, Jingjing and her daughter's identities must not be simple. Lu Jiangpeng might even have guessed their identities, which was why he rejected them.
After all, if he interfered in this matter, it might cause a commotion among the higher-ups of both countries. At that time, the situation would be hard to control.
Jingjing walked over and pulled Yang Qingxuan's sleeves. She said sadly, "Little brother, help me beg Elder Lu to save my father."
Yang Qingxuan sighed and said, "I'm afraid that this matter will involve too many people. Elder Lu has his own concerns."
Jingjing's eyes were filled with tears. She looked delicate and pitiful.
Yang Qingxuan sighed, "What is going on?"
Jingjing said, "My father is Duanyang Country's Prince Lu — — Shangguan Feihong. He was framed and imprisoned. Now, the enemy wants to exterminate my family. My mother and I escaped in the middle of the night. However, I didn't expect … I didn't expect the entire Prince Lu's Residence to be slaughtered by them! Wuwuwu … "
She couldn't help but cry when she spoke of her sadness.
The entire Prince Lu's Residence should be the hundreds of headless corpses.
Yang Qingxuan was shocked, "Your father is a prince. Who dares to kill your entire family? The emperor? "
Jingjing sobbed for a while and said, "The current emperor is my grandfather. The one who framed my family is Prince Yan."
Yang Qingxuan knew that there was a lot of infighting in the Royal Family, and it was not strange for them to kill each other. However, he had never heard of such a massacre. He frowned and said, "What crime did your father commit? Is your grandfather not going to do anything even though he was arrested?"
"Sigh, it is indeed King Lu. I had guessed it before, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Lu Jiangpeng suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "The entire upper echelon of the Northern Five Nations knows about this, but I did not expect the King of Yan to be so ruthless as to kill them all."
Yang Qingxuan said, "Elder Lu, what exactly is the cause of this matter, and is there any way to remedy it?"
Lu Jiangpeng shook his head and said, "This matter involves the struggle for imperial power in Duanyang Country. It's inconvenient for Heavenly Consort Academy to participate. Back then, the King of Lu was a great talent and was greatly appreciated by the Emperor. He was the best candidate to inherit the throne and was also the most popular. However, in recent years, he has been pushed aside by the King of Yan step by step. He has even been reduced to a prisoner. It is really a pity. "
Yang Qingxuan frowned. "Such a method of exclusion? At the very least, King Lu must have done something wrong to be imprisoned, right? "
Lu Jiangpeng said, "I don't care about these things, so what I know is very limited. It's said that it's because of Shangguan Haitang."
When Jingjing heard this name, her complexion turned deathly pale. There wasn't the slightest trace of blood in her face.
The surrounding people, the Ku Rong Elders, and Li Long also fell silent. Only Jiang Ye, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries, had a trace of color in his eyes.
"Shangguan Haitang?"
Yang Qingxuan was stunned. This name sounded very much like a woman's name. He asked, "Who is that?"
Lu Jiangpeng's eyes also revealed a strange look. He said, "Four years ago, during the Five Nations Grand Tournament, I saw this young man once. He was known as the number one genius of the five great academies in the Northern Five Nations!"
Yang Qingxuan was shocked. "Number one genius? How monstrous is he? "
Lu Jiangpeng glanced at him and said, "Before I met you, I couldn't find any words to describe Shangguan Haitang's monstrous talent. Now, there's a very good comparison. His level of talent is probably similar to yours."
Yang Qingxuan, "…"
The others were also stunned. They looked at Yang Qingxuan in disbelief.
They knew very well how monstrous Shangguan Haitang was, so they didn't believe that there was someone who could be on par with him.
Yang Qingxuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked embarrassedly, "What happened next?"
"Let me tell you what happened next."
A gentle voice drifted over. Wei Zi Jin had woken up at some point in time and had been quietly listening by the side.
Yang Qingxuan looked over. Although Wei Zi Jin was over 30 years old, she took good care of herself. Her skin was whiter than snow, and she was a rare beauty. Her charm was not inferior to Su Ying and the others.
When the crowd saw her coming, they hurriedly made way for her. Li Long even went forward to guard her.
Wei Zi Jin slowly walked over and took Jingjing's hand. She was the first to bow to Lu Jiangpeng. Her knees went soft, and she was about to kneel.
However, there was an invisible force supporting her body, and she couldn't kneel down. She knew that Lu Jiangpeng was unwilling to accept it, so she didn't force him. She stood up straight and nodded. "Thank you Elder Lu and this student for saving our lives."
Lu Jiangpeng said indifferently, "First, you helped us. It's just returning the favor. It's not worth mentioning."
Wei Zi Jin nodded and said, "Shangguan Haitang is the son of Prince Yan. Prince Yan's talent is not outstanding among the more than 30 Princes, but he has a monstrous son. However, I didn't live up to his expectations. I couldn't continue Prince Lu's line, and it led to today's disaster. Speaking of which, it's me who harmed my husband. "
As she spoke, she started to cry. Every inch of her soft, pink tears filled her eyes. The men around her were filled with righteous indignation and were willing to die for her.
Yang Qingxuan roughly understood and said, "The current Emperor must have considered the issue of children. Therefore, in the selection of the heir, he was more and more inclined to Prince Yan. And Prince Yan seized the opportunity to launch an attack and put Prince Lu to death. "
Jingjing said, "Originally, my father and Prince Yan had a good relationship. All this was Shangguan Haitang's conspiracy. He ordered Prince Yan to do it."
Lu Jiangpeng said in surprise, "Shangguan Haitang should be only 18 years old this year. How could he have such terrible and cruel means?"
Wei Zi Jin cried for a while and stopped. She nodded and said, "I didn't believe it at first. But my husband has been in prison for more than a year. I tried many ways to rescue him. Then I heard some news. All these were manipulated by Shangguan Haitang."
Lu Jiangpeng's face was a little pale. He said, "This guy is too terrible!"
Wei Zi Jin said, "Some days ago, I got the news that Shangguan Haitang wanted to deal with me and my mother. After careful consideration, I decided to take refuge in the Cangnan Kingdom. It's not that I'm afraid of death. I'm afraid that no one can save my husband after I die. But I never thought that after I left, the whole Prince Lu's Mansion … "
She burst into tears again.
She was a weak woman. It was very strong that she could hold on until now.
Jingjing also couldn't help crying. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried silently.
Yang Qingxuan walked up to Jiang Ye and gave him a hard kick. "Who sent you here?!" he yelled.
