The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

Yan Lingxiao continued, "Lord Lin, as an official appointed by the court, you should understand what self-knowledge is. Your presence here today may be an honor for you, but it may also be a misfortune for you. I hope you can grasp it well."

After hearing this, Lin Shengyang felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Yan Lingxiao's words were full of meaning. This was not only a warning to him, but also a warning to him. He took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and replied respectfully: "I understand. Thank you, Your Highness, the King of War, for your guidance."

Yan Lingxiao didn't say anything else, just looked at him coldly, then turned around and left to return to the main seat. Lin Shengyang stood there, feeling the cold atmosphere around him. His face became paler and paler.

He secretly turned his gaze to Yan Wu Ji beside him, hoping to get his help.

Yan Wuji felt Lin Shengyang's gaze, with a somewhat unruly smile on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He glanced at Lin Shengyang, then turned to Yan Lingxiao who was sitting in the main seat, with a playful arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Fourth brother, look at Lord Lin. He is an official appointed by the imperial court after all. He wouldn't come to the palace to fight for no reason, right?" Yanyan Wuji's voice was a little teasing, but not without reason.

Yan Lingxiao frowned slightly. He naturally knew that the prince was echoing this uninvited guest. Did he really think he was a fool?

"Oh? Then in your opinion, what is the purpose of Lord Lin's visit?" Yan Lingxiao said lightly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

Yan Wuji smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned to Lin Shengyang with a playful look in his eyes: "Lord Lin, since you are here, you might as well tell me frankly, so as to avoid misunderstandings among the people in Prince Zhan's Mansion."

Lin Shengyang felt the inquiry and scrutiny in the two people's eyes, and his heart shuddered. Fortunately, he was prepared. He raised his head, looked at Yan Lingxiao with a firm and sincere gaze, and clasped his hands slightly, and his voice was loud and clear.

"Your Highness Prince Zhan, I, Lin Shengyang, have come here on the orders of the Queen Mother to comfort Your Highness." Lin Shengyang's voice echoed in the courtyard, and every word revealed his sincerity and sense of mission.

Yan Lingxiao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at Lin Shengyang, waiting for the next words. Yan Wuji stood aside with a joking look on his face, his eyes moving between the two of them, as if he was expecting a good show.

Lin Shengyang took a deep breath and continued, "Before her death, the Queen Mother was always concerned about your Highness's marriage. She knew that Miss Feng Yanan and your Highness were deeply in love, but because of her death, they could not get married as scheduled, and she felt very uneasy. Therefore, she specially ordered me to come and bring the gifts that the Queen Mother had collected during her lifetime to express her comfort."

As he spoke, Lin Shengyang signaled to his men behind him. They immediately understood and left the side hall one after another. After a while, they came in carrying several exquisite gift boxes. The gift boxes were inlaid with gold edges, exuding a sense of luxury, and were obviously carefully selected treasures.

Yan Lingxiao looked at the gift boxes with a deep gaze, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He certainly knew that the real purpose of Lin Shengyang's visit was far more than just comforting her. Although on the surface they brought the Queen Mother's condolences and precious gifts, the purpose behind it was to find out whether he had hurt Feng Yanan when the poison took effect, and then to catch him.

He stood there quietly, with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Shengyang deeply. He already had a plan in mind, but he was not in a hurry to reveal it. Instead, he chose to wait and see how the other party would unfold this carefully planned drama.

Lin Shengyang and his men showed a hint of imperceptible anxiety and expectation in their eyes, as if they were waiting for something. However, Yan Lingxiao looked calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Yan Lingxiao suddenly spoke up, his voice calm and firm: "Lord Lin, I appreciate your concern. I will also treasure the Queen Mother's generous gift."

Yan Wuji was watching this scene from the side, and he was also anxious, so he went straight to the point: "By the way, fourth brother, I heard that Sister Yanan lived in Prince Zhan's mansion recently. How come I haven't seen Sister Yanan for such a long time today?"
