"Explain?" Mu Yunqi curled his lips." What do you want me to explain?”
Ling Yunge's heart skipped a beat." Why did everything turn out like this?" she said angrily.”
The two of them had been together for five years. They had fought on the battlefield. She had helped him clear the obstacles and wholeheartedly helped him ascend to the position of Crown Prince. But now, why did it end up like this?
Mu Yunqi looked at the confused and furious Ling Yunge and retracted his gaze." Yunge, if you want to blame someone, you should blame Ling Tianming!”
"My father?" Ling Yunge was stunned and a wave of panic rose in her heart. She suddenly remembered that from the moment she heard the news of Mu Yunqi and Xu Zhen on the battlefield to the moment she rushed back to the coronation ceremony, she had never seen her father.
"That's right." Mu Yunqi's expression was cold and there was a hint of anger in it." You should know very well how much I've planned these past few years, but your father was determined to support Ninth Brother!”
Ling Yunge frowned." Where is my father now?”
" Your father…" Mu Yunqi sneered and slowly said," General Ling disobeyed His Majesty in public, causing His Majesty's illness to worsen. His crime is unforgivable and he was executed half a month ago!”
" What?!" Mu Yunqi's words were like a bolt of lightning that exploded in Ling Yunge's heart, causing her to be completely stunned. When she finally reacted, she no longer cared about the wounds on her body and rushed to the entrance of the prison." Impossible! Mu Yunqi, you're lying to me!"
How could his father be dead? He was the general of Beichen and had outstanding military achievements. He had only left for three months. How could his father be executed so easily?
Mu Yunqi shook his head coldly, his voice carrying a hint of ridicule." I didn't lie to you. I thought that with you around, at least your father would change his mind. Unfortunately…"
Ling Yunge felt a sharp pain in her heart. She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief." Mu Yunqi, are you with me just to get my father to support you?”
"Of course not." Mu Yunqi's eyes were filled with a hint of a smile." Yunge, the facts have proven that you've been much more useful than Ling Tianming these past few years.”
Before he could relax for a moment because of that sentence, he was completely stabbed by Mu Yunqi's next words.
Large drops of tears fell, and the pain in his eyes made Ling Yunge suspect that at this moment, he was bleeding and not crying.
" How could this be…" The hand holding the cell door no longer had any strength.
From the battlefield to the capital, she did not sleep or rest. She kept telling herself to believe in Mu Yunqi.
Even though she had witnessed the scene at the ceremony two days ago, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She hoped that he had his difficulties. However, at this moment, all her confidence and five years of feelings were finally shattered.
" Mu Yunqi, you bastard, bastard..." His voice was filled with hatred. After days of fatigue and pain, coupled with this huge impact, Ling Yunge was already dizzy.
Looking at the pained Ling Yunge, Mu Yunqi seemed unmoved. "Ling Yunge, bengong give you a piece of advice. Your best choice now is to beg for mercy and not anger bengong.”
If he hadn't already gained a firm foothold, Ling Yunge's behavior at the ceremony today was enough to make his father suspicious and hesitant!
"Beg for mercy? Mu Yunqi, in your dreams!" Ling Yunge fell to the ground and leaned against the cell door. The corners of her mouth curled up with a bone-piercing pain." Even if I die, I will never beg for mercy from you.”
"Die? Don't worry, bengong won't let you die now.”Mu Yunqi bent down, his eyes filled with interest.
His slender fingers grabbed Ling Yunge's chin and forced her to look into his eyes." After all, you've done a lot for me. I haven't let you see me ascend the throne with your own eyes. Wouldn't it be a pity if you died?"”
……
At night, the cold wind whistled and blew the cold air from Beichen City to Youzhou, which was hundreds of miles away.
"What did you say?" A cold and gorgeous voice sounded, carrying a hint of surprise and panic.
"Your highness, this subordinate is useless. I didn't expect General Yun to be so fast. When we arrived, she had already left.”Ting Feng lowered his head and spoke to Mu Yunlan guiltily.
Mu Yunlan frowned. How is the situation now?"
" This…" Ting Feng paused for a moment." Please forgive me, Your Highness. I just received news that General Yun was personally ordered to be locked up in the imperial prison by Mu Yunqi and interrogated under torture.”
" Mu Yunqi!" Mu Yunlan's heart was suddenly filled with anger. After a moment, she said coldly," In the end, I underestimated Mu Yunqi. He was actually so straightforward and merciless!"”
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Ting Feng asked worriedly. General Yun's current situation was not optimistic!”
"Immediately pass down the order to rob the Heavenly Prison!" Mu Yunlan said coldly without hesitation.
" Raiding the Heavenly Prison…" Ting Feng hesitated for a moment." Your Highness, isn't this too brazen? Mu Yunqi has been waiting to find out your mistake. What if he finds out…"
"There won't be any 'what-ifs'. Remember, you must ensure General Yun's safety at all costs.”Mu Yunlan stood with her hands behind her back. Her expression was filled with arrogance.
"As for Mu Yunqi, I can let him take the position of Crown Prince, so I can naturally pull him down!”
The next day, dawn.
In the cell, Ling Yunge looked at the faint light that shone through the small window again. She knew that another day had arrived.
His heart was still in pain, a heart-wrenching pain!
Although an entire night had passed, Mu Yunqi had already left.
However, in this gloomy and deathly silent prison cell, every word that Mu Yunqi said seemed to be echoing continuously.
Father was dead. When he was executed, he was still fighting for Beichen and Mu Yunqi on the battlefield. Laughable, this was really too laughable!
All the pillars of support in her heart had collapsed and shattered. Ling Yunge only felt that breathing was particularly difficult.
"This way please, this way please."
Leaning against the wall dejectedly, Ling Yunge listened to the approaching footsteps. This time, she didn't open her eyes.
"General Yun, how have you been?" The footsteps stopped at the door of the cell, and a charming voice sounded. It was filled with uncontrollable mockery and pride.
Xu Zhen was dressed in a red and complicated palace dress. Her makeup was exquisite, and her hair was full of pearl hairpins. In this dark prison, she looked especially beautiful.
Ling Yunge frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty. She glanced at Xu Zhen and smiled mockingly.
"How dare you, Ling Yunge, be so rude when you see the crown prince consort!”The palace maid behind Xu Zhen, Hong Qiao, quickly reprimanded her.
Xu Zhen waved her hand." It's alright. I'm an old friend of General Yun. I came here today just to see her."”After saying that, he turned to the jailer and said," Open the cell door.”
" This..." The jailer hesitated." Crown Princess Consort, I'm afraid..."
Xu Zhen frowned slightly." I told you to open it. Just listen to me."”Then, he looked at Ling Yunge and sneered," She's no different from a cripple now!”
"Yes, yes, your humble servant will obey." The jailer quickly went forward to open the cell door and then quickly retreated.
Looking at the battered and exhausted Ling Yunge, Xu Zhen slowly walked forward, her eyes filled with pride." General Yun, do you know why I'm here today?”#
