Chapter 111: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Before Qingsong saw the jade waist pendant clearly, he was still wondering what Ling Han was talking about.
But when he saw the waist pendant clearly, his face turned pale. He immediately knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said solemnly, "Master, Qingsong did not intend to conceal this matter."
After hearing Qingsong's reply, Ling Han was silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "How is my mother doing now?"
The sharp eyes hung over Qingsong's head like a sword. Under this heavy pressure, Qingsong dared not hide it anymore.
He explained everything in detail: "Your biological mother, Concubine Rong, has passed away... All her possessions have been put into the national treasury..."
Ling Han was struck by lightning. "Dead?..." He repeated in a low voice, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
Although he didn't want to believe it was true, the appearance of this jade waist pendant engraved with plum blossoms in the royal family of Ling Kingdom forced him to believe this fact.
After a while, he finally calmed down and asked, "How did my mother... die..."
His voice now sounded low and hoarse, like a difficult groan squeezed out from the depths of his soul.
Hearing his master's question, Qingsong lowered his head even more. He spoke reluctantly, "Concubine Rong was caught having an affair with a palace guard. The Queen Mother said she was unfaithful and had improper behavior, which was against the royal dignity. She abolished her title and gave her poisoned wine..."
"My mother would never do such a thing!" Ling Han roared in a low voice.
His mother was clearly the most dignified and respectful person! She would never have done something like having an affair with a guard! This must have been a frame-up!
It was just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and he could find an opportunity to go back and take his mother away!
But he hadn't returned to Jiang State, hadn't seen his mother again, and now he was told that he and his mother were gone forever...
Ling Han clenched his hands into fists, his fingertips digging deeply into his palms. A surge of grief and indignation built up in his heart, but he couldn't vent it freely there.
Even the air in the room seemed to flow slowly due to grief.
Qingsong looked at Ling Han who was trying his best to endure, and a look of pity appeared on his face, but he didn't know how to comfort his master. He could only lower his head and half-kneel on the ground without saying a word.
Ling Han moved his steps and walked to the window. He pushed open the carved wooden window in the room, closed his eyes, and let the chilly autumn wind at night brush against his cheeks.
After a long moment, he finally managed a hoarse voice from his throat: "You should go back today. Have the organization gather officials in the court who are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's rule and try to win them over. I will find an opportunity to return to Jiang State as soon as possible, and we will discuss this then."
"Yes." Qingsong accepted the order and withdrew.
After Qingsong left, the back courtyard returned to peace. However, after Ling Han opened his eyes again, the surging hatred in them could not be calmed down.
After his father passed away, the queen supported the underage fifth prince to succeed to the throne, used the fifth prince as a puppet to control the court, became the queen mother, and ruled the country from behind the curtain.
Under the manipulation of the Queen Mother, the fourth prince was sent to Ling Kingdom as a hostage.
Fortunately, his father left him a secret secret guard organization before his death, so he had the opportunity to use a substitute to replace himself when entering Ling Kingdom.
He had no interest in the throne at first. He just wanted to find an opportunity to return to Jiang State, and then take his mother away to live a peaceful life.
But no one could have imagined that the Queen Mother would be so cruel and ruthless that she would not hesitate to frame her own mother and kill her!
Thinking of this, a hint of hatred appeared in Ling Han's eyes. Since the Queen Mother was unjust first, it was no wonder that he was unkind!
The most important thing right now is to find an opportunity to return to Jiang Country safely!
Thinking of this, a figure emerged in Ling Han's mind...
......
The next morning, as Wen Yang walked out of the bedroom, he saw a familiar figure.
She trotted along and asked in surprise, "Ling Han, why are you here?"
Ling Han heard footsteps running towards him and raised his eyes with a gentle smile: "Your Highness said before that you wanted me to be your personal bodyguard during the hunting. I've thought about it. If I want to be your personal bodyguard, I have to get used to it in advance, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of Your Highness."
Wen Yang looked a little surprised when he heard this.
Ling Han had been clearly somewhat distant and wary of her before, so why did he seem so much more proactive today? Could it be that the waist pendant she had given him yesterday was working?
However, she didn't intend to delve into it at the moment. Since Ling Han was willing to take the initiative to show his goodwill to her, it meant that her strategy was effective. At least now Ling Han would take the initiative to approach her!
Wen Yang smiled and replied, "In that case, you should have breakfast with me today, and then we can go out for a walk together. I'll pick out a sword for you."
Ling Han nodded and responded gently.
After the two of them finished their breakfast, Wen Yang asked the mansion to arrange a carriage and left with Ling Han.
This was the first time Wen Yang went out shopping since coming to this world, so he couldn't hide his excitement.
The coachman took them directly to the most famous blacksmith shop in the capital. As a result, as soon as Wen Yang got off the carriage, she met an unlucky person.
