"Ah... beast."

Xiao Ziling's eyes were red with anger, this scene was so shocking to him that he had never dreamed that Xiao Yunzheng would actually kill his mother.

Zhong Xue opened her eyes wide, staring at the sword on her chest in disbelief. She slowly raised her hands, trying to grasp the sword, but her hands finally drooped weakly and she closed her eyes unwillingly.

Liu Yunyan used her Qinggong skills to catch Zhong Xue's falling body. Blood splattered on her face, and she didn't bother to wipe it off.

Xiao Ziling also rushed over and slapped Xiao Yunzheng on the heart. Xiao Yunzheng flew backwards and fell to the ground spitting blood.

"Xue Niang, Xue Niang, wake up, don't leave me," Xiao Ziling shouted weakly. No matter how serious the injury was, Xiao Ziling had never cried before, but now his tears could no longer stop falling.

Liu Yunyan came to Xiao Yunzheng's side and squatted down to check on his condition.

"Are you here to kill me?" Xiao Yunzheng was obviously injured, but he still smiled when he saw Liu Yunyan.

"That's your biological mother, who went through ten months of pregnancy and endured all kinds of grievances to give birth to you. How could you be so cruel?" Liu Yunyan said angrily.

"So what? People who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Her death enabled me to sit on the throne. She should feel honored, shouldn't she?" Xiao Yunzheng glanced at Xiao Ziling with disgust.

"Do you know how disgusting it is for me to stay with him for so many years? He restricted everything about me and tried to control me. Now I am finally free."

"When did you know he was not your father?" After all, Xiao Ziling had raised him for so many years, and the disgust in his eyes was too obvious to have been formed overnight.

"I knew it a long time ago. Do you know how much I hate him? I am a prince, but he has always kept me by his side. I could have enjoyed all the wealth and glory in the world and married countless wives, but it was all ruined by them," Xiao Yunzheng said gritting his teeth.

"They're here to protect you."

"Protect me? Who would believe that?" Xiao Yunzheng turned sideways and looked at Liu Yunyan, "I know your identity. My father has promised me that when I regain my status as a prince, he will marry you to me."

"I don't mind your relationship with Liu Yunfeng. I won't pursue your past. You will be my wife in the future."

"Was it also his order to kill Zhong Xue?" Liu Yunyan asked with empty eyes.

"Who?"

"Yunting."

"Yes, he said that if I want to take that position, she must die."

"Why? Why must she die?" Liu Yunyan murmured.

"If you let me go, I'll take you back to ask him. Then we can ask him to hold a big wedding banquet for us. I... ah."

"You wish." Liu Yunfeng had stood behind them without them noticing, and kicked him unconscious. "What kind of person is this? How dare you covet my wife?"

"That's right, it's not my turn yet, how can it be your turn?" Hua Ling chimed in from behind.

"Get lost, it's never your turn."

"Sister," Liu Yunyan stood up in confusion.

"It's just the usual method used by the emperor," Liu Yunfeng said, "Xiao Yunzheng has not been kept by his side for more than 20 years. Only by completely cutting off his retreat route will he be better able to obey his orders. Yan'er, you should know this."

"Yes, I should have known that. How could I have forgotten it?" If I had known it earlier, would Zhong Xue not have died?

"It has nothing to do with you. None of us could have imagined that Yun Ting would actually let Xiao Yunzheng kill his mother," Liu Yunfeng said coldly, "If the emperor wants to kill someone, he has all kinds of ways. We can't defend against them."

So Yan'er, I am the only person you can trust the most.

I will never hurt you as long as you stay with me.

It's a good thing for you to realize it earlier. Yun Ting has never been a good person. The emperor is best at attacking people's hearts and disguising himself. I just don't know how much sincerity he has in his treatment of Liu Yunyan?

"In this situation now, we ..."

"No," Liu Yunyan remembered, "Wasn't Xiao Yunzheng handed over to Emperor Dongling by Yunshu? How could he come out of the palace and commit murder in the street?"

"Are you clear-headed?" Liu Yunfeng scratched her nose with his fingers.

"Yeah, I'm much more awake now."

"Then think carefully about why he is here." Liu Yunfeng glanced at Xiao Yunzheng on the side, "Let's not talk about whether Xiao Ziling is a general or not. Even if a civilian was killed in the street, the guards of the Imperial Guards should have arrived long ago. But after such a long time, there is not even a shadow of a person."

"Emperor Dongling is also related to this matter." Liu Yunyan said affirmatively.

"He hated General Xiao for raising Xiao Yunzheng and killing Gong Jueluo, putting himself in a dilemma. Since General Xiao likes Zhong Xue so much, he should destroy his beloved first."

“Looking at General Xiao’s appearance, destroying Zhong Xue is equivalent to destroying General Xiao.”

"Your analysis is correct," Liu Yunfeng praised. "We can't rely on those people in the Imperial Guard Office anymore. We can only save ourselves now."

"It's too difficult," Xiao Ziling said with a look of grief, "General Xiao looks like he won't be able to cheer up for a while."

"Let's find someone to help get the person back first." The body couldn't just be left on the street.

Hua Ling couldn't help but sigh when seeing this. It turned out that raising a child is better to raise your own child. Otherwise, in the end you will lose both your money and your life, which is not worth it.

Speaking of which, what's wrong with little Yunli recently? She has been sleeping all the time. Even when it's time to eat every day, I have to call her for a long time before she responds.

The Xiao Mansion was hung with white silk and white banners. Most of the maids and servants had been sent away, leaving only a few people. It was extremely desolate.

"Is this the result of being forgotten when people leave?" Liu Yunyan couldn't help but feel sad when she saw this. When Xiao Ziling was in high spirits, the door of his house was broken down by people visiting him, but now he is in a busy city and no one knows him.

"The emperor has issued an edict."

A shrill voice sounded, and the imperial edict from Emperor Dongling arrived.

Xiao Ziling knelt on the ground numbly to receive the order.

The general meaning of the imperial edict was that the emperor sympathized with Xiao Ziling's grief over the loss of his wife, and ordered him to retire and return home with his deceased wife. However, Xiao Yunzheng committed murder with a knife and attempted to murder his biological mother, and the crime was unforgivable, so he would naturally be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and executed soon.

Xiao Ziling accepted the imperial edict without any emotion, "Please do as you wish, eunuch. The murderer Xiao Yunzheng is indeed imprisoned in the mansion. I will trouble you to bring him back."

"Okay, in that case, I will take the murderer back." The father-in-law's shrill voice sounded.

“Wait a minute…”
