Ling Yun was silent for a moment, then nodded calmly and admitted: "You guessed it right, I told you this because of my empress dowager, the emperor's biological mother."
"Oh?" Ling Wu smiled lightly and waited for Ling Yun to continue.
"According to the reports from my spies in Dongling Kingdom, the current emperor should not be Ouyang Xi, although he looks like Ouyang Xi."
Ling Yun's brows furrowed tightly, and he slowly and carefully considered each word to tell what he knew, lest he couldn't explain anything clearly.
What he said was extremely difficult to pronounce, but Ling Wu still nodded, then frowned, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at Ling Yun: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"
"The Empress Dowager was put under house arrest by them."
Ling Yun gave a bitter smile and reached out to pull open the collar on his chest, revealing a long and ferocious scar.
The scar has completely healed, but judging from the color on it, it should have been caused by a sharp weapon such as a knife recently. It stretched diagonally from Ling Yun's neck into his unopened clothes, which made people feel uncomfortable.
I can't imagine how long this scar is.
"I couldn't contact the emperor. After my subordinates confirmed that he was not the emperor, they sneaked into the palace and tried to rescue the empress dowager. But I didn't expect that they had already arranged for experts to wait there."
Ling Yun loosened his fingers, closed his clothes, and said with some helplessness and guilt: "I was seriously injured by one of them. It took me nearly a month to recover from the injury in Dongling Country."
Ling Wu moved her gaze from Ling Yun's face to the cup in her hand, reached out and flicked the edge of the cup, watching the ripples in the tea inside caused by her movement.
After a long time, he raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "So, after you saw my martial arts skills yesterday, you wanted me to help you rescue the Queen Mother."
"That's true." Ling Yun's eyes suddenly dimmed: "The Emperor treats me well. I can't just watch his biological mother being bullied and placed under house arrest after he died."
"You are wrong," Ling Wu suddenly put down the cup in her hand and said word by word: "That damn Ouyang Xi is not dead at all."
