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

Yan Lingxiao stood beside Feng Yanan, looking down at the people in front of him. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through everyone's mind. He spoke slowly, and although his voice was not loud, it seemed to have a kind of magic, and everyone present seemed to be suffocating.

"I didn't know that." His voice was deep and powerful, as if every word had been carefully polished, full of majesty and unquestionable power. His words echoed in the air, making people feel palpitations involuntarily.

"When did this king become something shameful?" His words were filled with a hint of sarcasm and anger, as if he was questioning everyone present. Wherever his eyes went, there was only an invisible sense of oppression.

Everyone present was intimidated by Yan Lingxiao's aura. They did not dare to look up at him and could only lower their heads, silently bearing the pressure from their superiors.

Yan Lingxiao's words echoed in the air, and everyone felt an unprecedented regret. They began to realize how foolish and ignorant their previous actions were. At this moment, they only hoped to disappear from the sight of the war king. So, they all lowered their heads, as if the ground could swallow them. Their heartbeats echoed in the silence, and everyone prayed that Yan Lingxiao would ignore them and let them escape this disaster.

In this tense atmosphere, Zuo Xinyi was looking for a chance to escape responsibility. She knew Yan Lingxiao's majesty and power, and she was confident that with her beauty and the charm of a weak woman, she believed that as long as she looked at Yan Lingxiao with tears in her eyes, he would definitely soften his heart. So, she began to adjust her emotions and tried to make her eyes brimming with tears.

She took a deep breath, then slowly raised her head and looked at Yan Lingxiao with tearful eyes. Her voice was trembling and aggrieved: "Your Highness, it's all Feng Yanan's fault. She didn't even tell anyone about you in the carriage!" She tried to shift the blame to Feng Yanan, hoping that Yan Lingxiao would let her go.

However, Yan Lingxiao did not even glance at Zuo Xinyi. His eyes were still fixed on the people in front of him, as cold and hard as ice, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. He took a deep breath, and his voice was low and powerful, echoing in the air: "Really!"

When Zuo Xinyi heard Yan Lingxiao ask this, she felt that men could not resist temptation, so she continued to perform. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She felt her heart beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to control her emotions.

But Yan Lingxiao's next words were like a cold wind, instantly blowing away Zuo Xinyi's luck and fantasy. Yan Lingxiao's cold voice came, like the chill of a thousand-year-old ice cellar: "Ms. Lin, what do you think?"

His words were like a sharp sword, pointing straight at Lin Xiuqing's heart.

Hearing Yan Lingxiao's name, Lin Xiuqing trembled as if struck by thunder. Her arrogance just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by fear and uneasiness. She knew very well how stupid and ignorant her behavior just now was. Ming Liu had clearly told her that the person in the carriage was the War King, but because she didn't know Ming Liu, she even insulted Ming Liu. Lin Xiuqing hardened her heart. This was all Feng Yanan's fault. If she had said earlier that the person in the carriage was the War King, wouldn't it be fine? It was okay for her to be punished, she was going to drag Feng Yanan into the water.

She could only lie on the ground, trembling all over, with a hint of tears in her voice: "I know my crime. I didn't know the guards around the prince, so I thought Feng Yanan was using your name to deceive everyone."

Although her voice was weak, everyone present heard it clearly. Although her attitude was humble, she was targeting Feng Yanan everywhere. It was the same as Zuo Xinyi's attitude just now. She had already forgotten that she was the one who started the trouble. Yan Lingxiao looked at the two of them coldly, with deep dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Yan Lingxiao spoke again, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "I heard that Grand Tutor Lin has sent another young lady of the Lin Mansion to a villa in the countryside to recuperate. This prince sees that this young lady Lin is also very ill! She can't even remember what she said just now! Is this because she misses your sister too much and that's why she got sick? This prince doesn't mind reuniting you sisters."

When Lin Xiuqing heard these words, she collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning. A strong fear surged in her heart, and she understood what Yan Lingxiao's words meant. Once she was sent to the country house, it would mean being abandoned by the family and marginalized by society, and her future would be dark. Her sister was suddenly sent away, and she didn't understand why. At first, she just thought it was just like her parents said, that she was really infected with a cold. But as time passed, it didn't take long before her father completely forgot about her sister. Whenever she asked about it, her father was evasive. Didn't she understand? Something must have happened to her sister and she was abandoned.
