Female Master: The Cold Prince

Seeing the booklet thrown on the ground, Xu Ziqiao believed his daughter in his heart, but at the same time he couldn't help wanting to know the truth. Finally, he stretched out his trembling hand, picked up the booklet on the ground, and began to read it.

"How could this be? This can't be true." He muttered, his eyes full of disbelief.

Looking at what was written above, he seemed to lose all his strength in an instant, and collapsed to the ground, letting the tears slide from the corners of his eyes.

No wonder he wrote to his daughter before, but she never replied.

He wanted to believe his daughter, but the contents of the book were so real that he didn't know who to believe for a moment.

"What? Was I lying to you?" Ling Yiqing walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Ling Yiqing, what exactly do you want?" Xu Zijiao looked up. He didn't believe that this man came here just to laugh at him and tell him that his daughter was framed.

Isn't he trying to threaten him by taking out this booklet?

Just as he was about to tear up the booklet in his hand, it was suddenly snatched away by a woman in black who appeared out of nowhere.

"What? Do you want to destroy the evidence? Let me tell you, how could I only have this one copy of such an important booklet? Ha!" Ling Yiqing laughed.

Xu Ziqiao could only glare at him with unwilling eyes, and was extremely afraid of the ghostly woman in black standing beside him.

"You should know the importance of this booklet in my hand. If this booklet accidentally falls into the hands of Your Majesty, Prince Duan will be finished."

"What exactly do you want?" Xu Ziqiao said through gritted teeth.

He is now in trouble. It's his fault that the other party has his life in his hands. What can he do even if he is unwilling?

"It's very simple, just commit suicide! Only when you die, Prince Duan will be safe, and His Majesty will never see this book." Ling Yiqing then stated the purpose of his trip.

"!!!"

"What did you say!" Xu Ziqiao was shocked and his voice lost.

He looked at the gentle man in front of him in disbelief. He never expected that such words would come from his mouth.

"Why, are you shocked? You should have known this day would come since the day you arranged for a killer to kill my daughter." He said coldly.

"Ling Yiqing, you are so cruel! You actually want me to die!" Xu Zijiao said with a sinister look.

"Yes, you are right." Ling Yiqing nodded and could not deny it.

"You! What if I don't agree?" He was almost irritated to death by his leisurely and contented look.

"Do you have a choice? Or do you also want Prince Duan to be deposed by His Majesty like you?" Ling Yiqing raised the booklet in his hand. He didn't believe that this man would not care about his daughter's future or life.

Seeing this, Xu Ziqiao was completely panicked. If he had to choose between his daughter's future and his life, what should he do?

"Ling Yiqing, who gave you the right to sentence me to death! I am the concubine and the biological father of Prince Duan, you don't have the right to do this!" He tried hard to fight for his own life and could only use the Queen to suppress the other party.

He hasn't lived enough and hasn't seen his daughter reach that position, so how can he die?

"Oh? Xu Ziqiao, do you think that a person imprisoned in the cold palace can be visited by anyone without permission?" Ling Yiqing said ambiguously, his words revealing that he was only following someone's orders.

"I don't believe it. You must be threatening me because you see that I'm in trouble. I'm not stupid enough to let you get what you want!" Xu Zijiao said.

He didn't believe that the empress would be so cruel to him, not to mention that he had given birth to an excellent princess for His Majesty. For Yan'er's sake, no matter how he caused trouble, His Majesty would turn a blind eye and not bother with him.

Now he was asked to commit suicide, but he just wouldn't believe it. Even if he was to die, it should be the imperial concubine who announced the decree, and it would never be Ling Yiqing's turn.

After figuring out the reason behind this, he calmed down a lot. At least he knew what His Majesty meant.

"Really? You poisoned Prince Yuxia, not only causing our dynasty to lose five cities, but also causing our dynasty to be discussed by other countries. If other countries take this opportunity to provoke a war, can you afford the consequences?"

"In this case, do you still think this is my original intention?" Ling Yiqing continued, regardless of the reactions of the people on the ground.

Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao was speechless.

Yes! How could he forget this? If her country took this opportunity to start a war, he would be blamed for his death.

Did His Majesty really want him to die? Tears of despair streamed down his face, and he lay on the ground crying bitterly.

Ling Yiqing looked at the scene in front of him without any ripples in his heart. Surviving in the harem for so many years had made his heart extremely hard.

He didn't go forward to disturb him, but found a place to sit down. The man was going to die anyway, so he just let him cry to his heart's content.

Xu Ziqiao stopped crying only after his voice became hoarse. His eyes were red and swollen, and he looked up at the leisurely person beside him.

"Okay, I can commit suicide, but you have to promise not to make things difficult for my daughter and give her a chance to live. That's what you just said." He finally chose to give up his own life.

Regardless of whether it was His Majesty's will or Ling Yiqing's plan, he would not be able to escape his fate today.

His death is not important. What is important is that his daughter is safe and sound. He believes that after his death, his daughter will definitely avenge him.

It’s just a pity that my daughter is still young and has lost her father. Without his help, how can she be a match for these people in the future?

"Okay. After you die, I will not make things difficult for her, provided that she does not provoke me. Otherwise, I will be in a difficult position as well." Ling Yiqing said. As long as his daughter was not harmed, why would he need to harm a child?

"Don't worry, Yan'er will definitely not provoke you and your daughter." Xu Ziqiao said hurriedly. Ling Yiqing was too scary. Yan'er was no match for him.

"That's great." After saying that, Ling Yiqing turned and left. His goal had been achieved, so he didn't stay any longer.

Leaving the person behind him crying in despair, Ling Yiqing walked out of the yard. When he heard the miserable and desperate crying coming from the house, he couldn't help but let out a breath.

Don't blame him for being cruel, blame them for touching his weak spot.

He will show no mercy to anyone who wants to kill him and his daughter, and will not give them the chance to hurt them a second time.

The fact that he never actively harms others does not mean that he is weak and can be bullied. If someone dares to frame him and treat him as an enemy to be eliminated, then he will definitely become a qualified enemy.

At this moment, the empress, who was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, suddenly felt uneasy and had a feeling that something was going to happen.

As soon as she put down the memorial in her hand, she heard someone from the cold palace come to report that Xu had hanged herself in the cold palace.

"!!!" The Queen was shocked and stood up from the dragon throne.

"What did you say? Take me to see it!"
