However, when he was about to leave the palace, Yang KongQun's unintentional question made his good mood disappear without a trace!
When Yang KongQun arrived at the Imperial Study, he sensed that Long Xiang was in a good mood. He seemed to be in a good mood. When he was about to leave the palace, he saw the eunuch who was studying in the Imperial Study walking towards him. Yang KongQun stopped him and asked, "The Emperor is in a good mood today."
The young eunuch smiled and respectfully said, "Replying to Old Yang, His Majesty is in a good mood today. Yesterday, the palace sent a report that Imperial Concubine Ling is pregnant and is preparing to pardon the world to pray for Imperial Concubine niangniang."
It was this sentence that caused Yang KongQun's hurried footsteps to stop abruptly. His old face was extremely ugly.
The Yang Family and the Ling Family were both part of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families and stood at the pinnacle of the Sky Bearing Empire. The daughter of the Ling Family was the Imperial Consort of the Emperor while the daughter of the Yang Family was the Empress. Ever since Ling Ran entered the palace, her stomach was disappointing and only gave birth to a princess. As for the Empress, she gave birth to two princes. One of them was even made the Crown Prince.
This also caused Yang KongQun to unconsciously adopt a superior attitude in his frequent battles with the Ling family. What he meant was that the world would belong to his nephew in the future, so why should he fight with him? Furthermore, he still had Ling Kong as his trump card. Thus, even though the Ling family's strength had increased by leaps and bounds, Yang KongQun did not place it in his heart. In fact, he even had the intention of allowing them to do as they wished. "It won't be long before your Ling family's strength falls under my Yang Family's control."
Furthermore, the stronger the Ling family became, the greater the wariness the imperial family had towards the Ling family. Of course, they would also rely on the Yang Family more and more. With their relationship with the Crown Prince, their relationship with the Yang Family would naturally go up a notch and the Yang Family would also be able to stand tall.
Yang KongQun's further thought was that once the Emperor's health deteriorated and the Crown Prince was about to ascend the throne, Long Xiang would definitely not be at ease with the existence of the Ling family. He would definitely eradicate the Ling family before the Crown Prince ascended the throne to ensure the stability of the empire. And in order to eradicate the Ling family, he would have to rely on the Yang Family!
Thus, no matter how the two families fought, the final victor would undoubtedly be the Yang Family! This was Yang KongQun's wishful thinking. Before this, things were indeed developing according to his wishes. However, in just one day, this situation was completely shattered!
First, he lost contact with the northwest horse ranch. Then, he suddenly couldn't get in touch with Ling Kong. In order to keep it a secret, Yang KongQun only had one-sided contact with Ling Kong. Including Yang KongQun, there were only three or four people in the family who knew about this matter. How could it be easy to pick a new character who was good in all aspects, such as loyalty, intelligence, martial arts, strategy, and so on? Yang KongQun was extremely vexed by this.
Today, Yang KongQun originally thought that his plan was ingenious and could completely drag the Ling family into the center of the whirlpool, further reducing the Ling family's strength and making up for the loss in the northwest. Who would have thought that he would unexpectedly hear that the Imperial Consort was pregnant! This news caused Yang KongQun's mood to plummet!
Long Xiang had always doted on Ling Ran more than Yang Xue. In the past few years, because Yang Xue felt that she was the Crown Prince's mother, her actions had become more domineering, causing Long Xiang to be especially displeased. As for the Crown Prince and his brother, they had no other competitors in the palace and could only struggle endlessly. The Crown Prince wanted to protect his position as the Crown Prince, while the Second Prince wanted to obtain the opportunity to become the Emperor. After a series of scheming, they caused trouble in front of Long Xiang many times. As the Emperor of the country, Long Xiang was also troubled by his two sons. As a result, he gradually became disappointed in the Crown Prince and his brother.
Now that Ling Ran was unexpectedly pregnant, it was enough to shake the most sensitive string in Long Xiang's heart. If Ling Ran successfully gave birth to a prince, with Long Xiang's disappointment in Ling Ran and the Crown Prince, as well as his love for Ling Ran, there would be a huge change in the harem!
Originally, the Yang Family could still stop it. However, after the previous commotion, the Yang Family's hidden power had suddenly revealed itself, causing Long Xiang to be even more suspicious. If they were to interfere in the palace's battle, not only would it not have any good results, it would also increase Long Xiang's determination to change!
Regardless of any changes, Empress Yang Xue and Yang KongQun would not tolerate it!
Bad news came one after another, causing Yang KongQun's face to darken as he hurried back to his residence. It seemed that this matter had to be planned early! Otherwise, once what was done could not be undone, it would be too late for regrets!
Yang KongQun decided that he would personally go to the Ling family to capture the green clothed fortune teller. Lin Zhan's temper was explosive, Ling Xiao's temper was straightforward, and Ling Tian's was arrogant and despotic. If he sent anyone else, he was afraid that none of the three would accept it and would only alert the enemy. However, this matter was the key to dealing with the Ling family, there could not be any mistakes!
No matter what happened in the future, he could only take one step at a time.
Ling Tian stepped out of his room and welcomed the morning breeze. He took a deep breath and felt his whole body relax.
In the courtyard, under the grape trellis, a graceful figure wearing a snow-white robe stood quietly. It was Yu BingYan.
"Tian ge, you're up." Yu BingYan walked forward, looking as if she wanted to say something. On the other side, Ling Chen had already walked over with a basin of water to wash his face.
Ling Tian was in a good mood today. Touching the small paper bag in his arms, he felt as if he could still feel the softness of the lock of hair inside. He could not help but feel tender affection for her.
Seeing Yu BingYan's bashful expression, he deliberately wanted to help her out, so he jokingly said, "Haha, Yan 'er, your question is quite strange. Big Brother came out dressed neatly, not naked. Of course I got up, haha …"
"You … you're annoying!" Yu BingYan's face turned red from his words. She fiercely stomped her feet and said loudly, "Last night's matter, this little sister is very sorry."
Under the shame and anger in her heart, her apology was said in a very aggressive manner, as if she was denouncing him. As soon as the words left her mouth, she knew it was wrong. Who would apologize like this? This was even more righteous than being self-righteous. Clearly, she meant to denounce him. She could not help but blush again.
Ling Tian was startled. He carefully said, "Uh, Yan Er, how is this an apology? You came here early in the morning to denounce me, right? Why do you look like you want to eat someone? "
One of them laughed loudly and said, "This is definitely not an apology, this is simply a denunciation! Oh, no, even denunciations are not so fierce. You clearly want to eat someone! "The two of them turned their heads and saw a man in a blue robe that had been washed white. It was Ye QingChen.
Yu BingYan was angry and anxious. She said angrily, "Two grown men teasing a weak girl. To think that both of you are laughing so happily!"
Ye QingChen laughed, the moustache under his chin sticking up. "Little girl, your words are a little wrong. From this old man's point of view, if I didn't come out, my poor little brother would have been eaten alive by you. That attitude just now was really scary."
Ling Tian nodded his head repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to old brother's timely appearance that this little brother's life was saved. Old brother's life-saving grace, life-saving grace, great benevolence … this little brother will forever remember it in his heart and will never forget it! "
Yu BingYan was angry and anxious. She glared at the two of them, unable to say a word. Ling Tian and Ye QingChen looked at each other and laughed, winking at each other.
A rumbling sound came from the door. It seemed that a large group of cavalry had arrived. Otherwise, how could the sound reach the inner courtyard? Following that, shouts and yells came one after another. A servant ran in frantically, gasping for breath. "Young Master, something bad has happened! The head of the Yang Family, Old Master Yang, has personally led a large group of people to kill our way here. He said that he is under the orders of the Emperor to ask Young Master to hand over the murderer of the Nangong Young Master! "
Ling Tian's eyes narrowed. This old fellow's information network was actually so fast? But how could he be so sure that the murderer was someone from the Ling family! His ability was not small ah! "Murderer? What murderer? What else did he say? "
The servant's eyes flickered as he looked at Ye QingChen. He stammered, "He said … the murderer looks like a swindler who can read fortunes. He asked Young Master to quickly hand him over. Otherwise, the army will kill their way in and forcefully capture him."
As soon as he said that, Ling Tian and Ye QingChen were both stunned. Then, the two of them looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter. So that's how it is! Ling Tian thought to himself as he laughed. He was still wondering how brilliant Yang KongQun was to be able to determine that the murderer was sent by the Ling family. From the looks of it, he was not willing to let his own family suffer and wanted to drag the Ling family into this mess as well. And Ye QingChen's roar last night had revealed his absolute strength. If it was under normal circumstances, Yang KongQun would definitely not dare to provoke such an expert. But with the current situation, Ye QingChen had become a huge suspect! It also gave Yang KongQun the so-called 'excuse' to come here!
"Hahaha … Old Brother, you are really amazing. So you actually have this kind of ability. You actually managed to drag the Nangong Lok back from the hands of the King of Hell and killed him again! Haha … I'm dying of laughter! " Ling Tian laughed so hard that he clutched his stomach, unable to straighten his back. Looking at Ye QingChen's angry expression after laughing, Ling Tian couldn't help but warn Yang KongQun in his heart. Old Yang, this fortune teller isn't someone that anyone can afford to offend!
Although Ling Tian was still unable to determine Ye QingChen's identity, but from Ye QingChen's knowledge of the past like the back of his hand, Ling Tian could tell that he was definitely a high level figure in a powerful faction. Furthermore, Ye QingChen obviously did not belong to the Eight Great Families and obviously did not place any of the Eight Great Families in his eyes. Even the transcendental Tamago was no exception. So who exactly was Ye QingChen, what kind of identity did he have, and what kind of power was backing him? Although the answer was vague, it was still unfathomably vague!
And every time Ye QingChen talked about 'Beyond Heavens', his eyes would always reveal a strange expression, as if he was reminiscing, as if he was admiring his mother. Ling Tian had long suspected this in his heart. Combining Ye QingChen's extraordinary martial arts, profound and outstanding knowledge, ambitious yet unworldly ambitions, simple clothes and bamboo cane, a life of leisure, not fearing authority or power, Ling Tian could basically conclude that Ye QingChen was a disciple of the supreme leader of the martial arts world, 'Beyond Heavens'!
Without a doubt, this time, Yang KongQun had smashed his head into a hornet's nest! And it was the most poisonous hornet's nest! (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
