But the one ordinary sentence that Yang Kong Qun spoke before he left completely shattered all his good moods!
The moment Yang Kong Qun met the Emperor, he felt Long Xiang was in a good mood today. Before leaving the palace, he saw the little eunuch in charge of serving the Emperor and made a relaxed statement, “The emperor seems to be in a good mood today.”
The little eunuch laughed and replied respectfully, “Reply Mr. Yang, the mood of the Emperor is being very good today. Yesterday, there was news that Consort Ling Ran was being and the Emperor was preparing to grant amnesty to the empire as a celebration for Consort Ling Ran. ”
With this answer, Yang Kong Qun's quick steps stopped as his face turned ugly.
The Yang and Ling families were both part of the Eight Great Families and had roots in the Sky Bear Empire. The daughter of the Ling family was the Empress consort while the daughter of the Yang family was the current Empress. Ever since Ling Ran entered the palace, her stomach had not lived up to expectations and she had only given birth to a single princess. As for the Empress, she had already given birth to two princes with one of them being the crown prince.
Thus, the Yang family had adopted a more patronizing attitude in their conflict with the Ling family. Their meaning is — empires will belong to my grandson in the future, why is there a need for me to fight with you? Along with having Ling Kong as a trump card, Yang KongQun was unconcerned with the increase in the strength of the Ling family over the past few years. In fact, he even had the mentality to let them do what they wanted. After all, Yang Kong Qun felt that everything would eventually belong to him.
Furthermore, the stronger the Ling family was, the more wary the imperial family was towards the Ling family. At the same time, the imperial family would increasingly rely on the Yang family. With their relationship with the crown prince, the imperial family would definitely have a closer bond with the Yang family. As time went on, the Yang family would also grow more prosperous and definitely would not fall.
Yang Kong Qun's long-term hope was that if the emperor was sick, he would definitely not let the crown prince ascend the throne with the Ling family present. At that time, the emperor would definitely eliminate the Ling family to ensure the stability of the empire. In order to eliminate the Ling family, the emperor would definitely need the Yang family!
Thus, the final winner between the two families fight must be the Yang family! This was the plan that was in Yang Kong Qun's heart. Before this, things had indeed developed according to his wishes. But in just one day, all his plans were ruined!
First was that he had lost contact with the northwestern horse farm, being unable to contact Ling Kong. In order to hide this matter well, there was only one-sided communication between Ling Kong and himself. In the family, there were only three to four people who knew about this matter including himself. How easy would it be for him to find someone else loyal, wise, and cunning enough to restore his communication with Ling Kong? Therefore, Yang KongQun was extremely frustrated about it.
Today, Yang KongQun felt that his brilliant plan would be able to pull the Ling family into this chaos completely, weakening the Ling family to cover their losses at the northwestern horse farm. However, he had not expected to hear the news about Concubine Ling Ran being ! This news had shattered Yang KongQun's good mood completely!
Long Xiang had always loved Ling Ran more than Yang Xue. In these few years, Yang Xue had greatly dominated the way she handled things in the palace due to her status as the mother of the crown prince, making Long Xiang very unhappy. Without any other rivalry, the two princes had always fought amongst themselves for the position of crown prince. The crown prince wanted to protect his own position and the second prince wanted to seize the title. After fighting so many times, the two of them had troubled the Emperor with their quarrels more than once. As the Emperor of the empire, Long Xiang was also extremely frustrated with all the problems caused by his two sons. Therefore, Long Xiang was also completely disappointed in his two sons.
Now that Ling Ran was again, this news was definitely enough to stir the sensitive emperor's heart! If Ling Ran gave birth to a prince, there would probably be a huge change in the imperial family harem, with how Long Xiang was so disappointed in Yang Xue and his two sons.
Originally, Yang KongQun would be able to stop this with his Yang family. But after the commotion in this capital, he revealed the hidden strength of the Yang family and made Long Xiang even more suspicious of him. If he were to get involved in the conflict of the imperial family, it would probably make Long Xiang more resolute for a change!
Any change was something that Yang Xue and Yang KongQun would definitely not be able to accept!
Bad news came one after another and Yang Kong Qun rushed back to his residence with a pale face. I think I need to make a plan! When things cannot be changed, it will be too late for regrets!
In order to catch the green-clothed fortune teller in the Ling family, Yang KongQun had made a resolution to deal with the matter personally. Ling Zhan's temperament was fiery, Ling Xiao's temperament was stubborn and Ling Tian was domineering and arrogant. If Yang Kong Qun sent someone else, the three of them would definitely not hand over the green-clothed fortune teller. He would only warn the Ling family and there was nothing wrong in their plans to deal with the Ling family!
No matter how things might be in the future, I have no choice but to take one step at a time.
Ling Tian walked out of his room, enjoying the morning breeze. He took a big breath and felt as if his entire body was very relaxed.
Under the wine rack, there was a graceful figure dressed in white standing there, she was Yu BingYan.
Ling Tian's mood was very good today. Feeling the small paper bag on his chest, it was as if he could feel the softness of the strands of hair and inevitably he felt a gentle affection in his heart.
Seeing how Yu BingYan looked so awkward, she wanted to defuse the situation for him. So, he joked, “Haha, Yan’er, this question is strange. This brother came out of my room in my neat clothes. Since I was not naked, of course I was already awake. Ha ha...”
“You ... annoying!” Yu BingYan's face flushed red from what Ling Tian said as she stomped her feet and shouted, “The problem was yesterday, this little sister apologized.”
Out of embarrassment, his apology was extremely aggressive, as if he was here to curse Ling Tian. As those words came out of his mouth, he realized his mistake. Who would make such an apology? This was even more powerful than forcing, clearly looking as if he was trying to curse someone. His face then could not help but blush.
Ling Tian was startled as he asked carefully, “Err, Yaner, is this an apology? Why are you trying to curse someone in the morning? Why do you want to eat someone alive? ”
Laughter then rang out, “This is definitely not an apology! This is clearly condemnation. Oh, no, one wouldn't be so fierce even if they wanted to curse others. He obviously wanted to eat someone alive! ” as Ling Tian and Yu BingYan turned to look, a green-clothed man with white hair appeared. He was none other than Ye QingChen.
Yu BingYan was angry and anxious as she replied, “Two grown men bully a weak little girl. To think that you two are still very happy about it! ”
Ye QingChen laughed out loud and started fiddling with her beard, “Nak, you were wrong about that. The way this old man saw it, my poor brother would have been eaten by you if I hadn't come out. The way you are now, it's really scary. ”
Ling Tian nodded in agreement, “That's right, that's right. It was all thanks to the older brother for appearing in time to save this younger brother's life. This life-saving gift, the gift of recovery, virtue.., this little sister will always remember it in my heart!”
Yu BingYan was exasperated as she glared at the two of them without answering. Ye QingChen and Ling Tian laughed out loud as they glanced at each other.
Suddenly, a huge commotion rang out at the door, as if there was a large army of soldiers. Otherwise, the commotion would definitely not make it to his own courtyard. After which, a family servant ran to Ling Tian's courtyard while panting, “Young nobles, everything is bad! The head of the Yang family led his army to our doorstep and said that he was here on the orders of the Emperor to ask the young noble to hand over the perpetrator who killed NanGong Le!”
Ling Tian's eyes narrowed as he thought, “Outlet this old man's news is very efficient? But how did he know that the culprit must be from my Ling family! He really has some abilities! ” Ling Tian then shouted, “The culprit? What doer? What else did he say?”
The eyes of the family servant shot around as he muttered, “He said ... The culprit is a con man dressed as a fortune teller. He wanted the young noble to immediately hand over the culprit. Otherwise, he will lead his army into our Ling family to capture him.”
As the family servant said that, Ling Tian and Ye QingChen were both stunned for a moment. They then looked at each other and laughed out loud — so that was the case! As Ling Tian laughed, he thought to himself, “I still think that Yang KongQun is very smart, can guess that the culprit is from my Ling family. Now, it seems that he is unwilling to let the Yang family be the only losing side and wants to drag down my Ling family as well. With Ye QingChen's loud roar yesterday, it clearly revealed her deep inner strength. Under normal circumstances, Yang Kong Qun would definitely not dare to offend such an expert. But with the current precarious situation, it made Ye QingChen the biggest suspect! It also gave Yang Kong Qun what he called an excuse!”
“Hahaha. I had no idea that you had the ability to bring NanGong Le back from hell and kill him again! Haha... I will die from laughing!” Ling Tian held onto his stomach as he laughed, barely able to stand up straight. Seeing the anger hidden in Ye QingChen's eyes, Ling Tian inevitably wanted to tell Yang KongQun, “Be careful Old Yang, Ling Tian said, do you think this astrologer Master is someone that everyone can provoke?!”
While Ling Tian was still unable to determine Ye QingChen's identity, Ling Tian was confident that Ye QingChen must be someone of great power, from how he was very familiar with past matters. Furthermore, Ye QingChen was clearly someone who was not from the Eight Great Families and simply did not place any of the Eight Great Families before him. Who is Ye QingChen? What kind of status did Ye QingChen have? What kind of power is behind it? While the answer is still vague, it is definitely one that is hard to grasp!
Every time Ye QingChen talked about ‘Mbeyond Heaven’, there would definitely be a strange look in her eyes. It was as if he was reminiscing and filled with admiration. Ling Tian already had his own suspicions in his heart. Adding together how Ye QingChen possessed profound martial arts, profound knowledge, ambition but had yet to enter the secular world, exploring the world in simple clothes, unafraid of authority and strength, and yet to enter the secular world, Ling Tian was sure that Ye QingChen must have come from ‘Beyond Heaven ‘!
Without a doubt, Yang KongQun had really provoked the beehive this time! Moreover, it is the most venomous type of beehive!
