Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 441: How May I Conspire With Someone from the Devil's Path!
Feng Ling was completely mesmerized by the smiling eyes of the king.
He quickly retracted his gaze and tried his best to keep his face straight. “Don't lie to me.”
“OK, I won't lie to you.”
The king naturally held his hand and walked out of the door. As they walked, he asked, “Does anyone from the Devil's Path pretend to be you among them?”
Hearing the king's question, Feng Ling's expression instantly became solemn.
“No.”
After a few seconds of silence, he continued, “We may have been duped.”
He planned to go back and see Feng Lan later.
He wanted to see what reason Feng Lan could give later.
After the two of them walked out of the courtyard of the temple hall, the king said to the servants in the palace of the Empress Dowager, “Go clear the temple hall. Don't let the Empress Dowager know what's going on inside.”
All the previous imperial concubines believed in Buddha. If they knew that the temple hall had been destroyed like that, they would definitely panic.
“Ya, Your Highness.”
The King and Feng Ling left the Empress Dowager's palace.
After walking out, Feng Ling said to the king, “I'll be back.”
The king tilted his head and looked at him with a deep gaze.
Feng Ling felt a little scared under her gaze and quickly took two small steps to the side.
The king noticed his delicate actions and smiled faintly.
Feng Ling was actually a little embarrassed. Without looking at him, he said, “I go.”
After saying that, he tapped his toes and went using Qinggong.
After Feng Ling left, the smile in the king's eyes instantly disappeared. He said to the guard commander, “Send someone to investigate Feng Lan. If they find abnormal movement from him, think of a way to solve it secretly.”
“Ya.”
......................
When Feng Ling came out of her bedroom, she did not go straight in. Instead, he moved to Feng Lan's courtyard.
At this moment, the lights on Feng Lan's courtyard were still on. When Feng Ling entered, she saw two female servants standing outside Feng Lan's room.
When the servant saw Feng Ling walking, he quickly bowed to her. “Greetings, Pastor.”
Feng Ling looked at the two of them and asked, “Is Lan’er back?”
“Principle, Guard has returned. Dia...”
“Saudari.”
Before the servant finished speaking, the door opened from within. Feng Lan stood inside in a change of clothes and gave her an obedient smile. “Sister, you are here.”
Feng Ling carefully assessed Feng Lan and even used a trace of the strength of a priest to peek at her. He realized that the objects on his body were directly suppressing his injuries.
Completely without flaws.
Feng Ling subconsciously looked at him with a straight face and asked, “Lan’er, when are you back?”
“I ...” Feng Lan twirled her fingers as if she had made a mistake and said, “I came back not long after we went to the Hundred Flowers Garden."
“Is that so?” Feng Ling looked at Feng Lan. Knowing that he was going to make a lie again, he asked, “You said that you returned not long after going to the Hundred Flowers Palace. Why did Yi Xuan and the others say that they had seen you? Moreover, it has been a long time since we went to the Garden of Hundred Flowers.”
“Ah?” Feng Lan looked dumbfounded. “No. I actually came back soon after. If you don't believe me, you can ask my two servants.”
The two maids quickly nodded and replied at the same time, “Master, Guard back at eight p.m.”
“Omong empty. So many people saw Lan’er bringing some young women to the pavilion by the lake at four in the morning.”
Feng Ling's eyes turned cold, and the two maids were so frightened that they did not dare to speak anymore.
Feng Lan looked so sad that she was about to cry. “Sister, I actually came back here around eight in the morning. I didn't bring women to the lake at all. I secretly came back because my body was stained by something dirty.”
At this point, with an injured expression, tears fell from his eyes. “I just heard that Miss Yi Xuan was pushed into the lake by someone disguised as you. Could... Sister suspect me?”
Feng Ling looked at the tears that fell from Feng Lan's eyes and suddenly felt extremely irritated.
Feng Lan was his younger sister. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the priest who loved his little sister the most. Moreover, he had no real evidence against Feng Lan. If he were to suddenly punish Feng Lan, not to mention everyone else, his teacher would definitely blame him.
Thinking of this, Feng Ling became even more annoyed.
He said, “Even if what you said was true, you brought Yi Xuan and the others to the lake. If they insist that you conspire with the Devil's Way.”.
“How can I conspire with someone from the demon line!”
Feng Lan looked extremely agitated and subconsciously raised her voice. “Sister, do you really not believe me?”
“It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not. Did you know that if I were to leave a little longer, Yi Xuan and the other young misses would most likely be killed by the person from the Demon Path who turned into me? All the more…
If I go a little later, that fellow from the Devil Path will show me all the evidence. Brother, what do you think will happen?”
“Many people saw you taking Yi Xuan and the others to the lake. When I'm framed, won't they think you're an accomplice?"
Feng Lan had not expected Feng Ling to suddenly become so aggressive. He wanted to say something, but Feng Ling always hit him.
Heart's sinking. He sensitively realized that the person in front of him had changed. He didn't believe in it as much as before.
Thinking of this, a deadly glint flashed across Feng Lan's heart.
However, he quickly retracted this murderous aura.
Feng Ling looked at Feng Lan coldly and sneered in her heart. However, his face was still tense. “No matter what, you should stay on this page for now. It can also stop people from gossiping.”
“Sister, you still blame me, right?” Feng Lan looked like she could not accept it. As he shook his head, he retreated, and tears streamed down his face.
Feng Ling looked at him. “I did this for your own good.”
After saying that, he said to the servant standing there, “Supervise the Guard. Don't let him out for now.”
“Yes, Priestess.”
Feng Ling turned around and left.
Feng Lan covered her face and started crying. He looks very sad.
In fact, a powerful murderous aura had flashed across his heart, and he sneered in his heart.
My good brother, did you notice anything?
Even if you sense something, as long as you have no proof, I know that you cannot do anything against me. How else, 'cause I'm your real sister.
“Guard, don't be sad.”
The two servants standing there looked at each other and advised,
“The priest must have done this for your own good. I think the priest is very upset. He must have done this to get you out of this.”
“Yes. The pastor loves you very much. How could he bear to intentionally hurt your heart?”
Feng Lan also thought so, so she suddenly felt arrogant.
He let go and nodded at the two of them. “I know. You guys can come down. I want to rest.”
With that, he entered and closed the door.
As the door closed, he spat out a mouthful of black blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and smiled strangely. “My good brother, I have to thank you for punishing me and giving me time to recuperate!”
......................
After Feng Ling walked out of Feng Lan's courtyard, the corners of her lips curved up.
He muttered, “Can't I change my destiny? But what if I insist on trying?”
He planned to place Feng Lan in his courtyard first and then investigate how to find Yan, or to awaken the memory of the king's next life. (Since the mirror said that the two of them would meet again, he would try some more methods.)
After Feng Ling walked back to her room, the first thing she did was to openly send guards to guard Feng Lan's courtyard. Then, he used a talisman to create many small paper sculptures to watch over him.
The next morning, Feng Ling went to the High Priestess.
The High Priestess also learned about last night.
Chu Luo told him in detail what happened last night.
Towards the end, he deliberately added, “Tast night, I personally saw Lan’er carrying Yi Xuan and the other women, but I ..”
At this point, he deliberately stopped.
When the High Priestess heard this, she fell silent for a while before saying, “Your method is correct. Lan’er has always been very loyal to you. I can't believe that he has any relationship with the people from the Devil's Path.”
Feng Ling nodded. He knew that Feng Lan's disguise was perfect. If he had not returned to five months ago, he would not have discovered his true appearance.
So he was in no hurry to say anything.
After coming out of the High Priestess residence, Feng Ling originally planned to go to the Treasure House. However, he remembered that he had almost finished reading the books in the Treasure House, and there was no book he needed inside.
After thinking for a moment, he said to a guard behind him, “Take some people to the public and find me some books about gossip or unofficial history. More is better. I want all kinds, especially books about folklore.”
“Ya.”
After instructing the matter, Feng Ling thought about what would happen in the next five months as she walked.
As he walked, he actually arrived near the palace.
He looked at the magnificent palace walls and thought about how to wake Yan up before coming to look for the king. However, just as he was about to turn around, he heard the sound of horse treads coming from behind a high wall.
The place where Feng Ling was standing was close to the door. Immediately, he saw dozens of guards riding horses as they quickly left.
Feng Ling did not mind and turned to walk back.
Day two.
Not long after Feng Ling woke up, she heard her servant's report, “Master, Her Majesty sent someone to send you a book carriage ..”
