The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Chapter 160 Could the person behind the scenes be the emperor?

The next day, everyone slept until noon in tacit understanding.

"Dad, please take me to the place where I lived when I was a child." Ling Yueqing found Ling Feng and said.

Ling Feng asked in confusion, "Why are you going there? The General's Mansion has been reduced to ruins since the fire."

"I was afraid your mother would be saddened by the sight of her living there, so I didn't rebuild it. Instead, I moved my family here. Many years have passed, and the place has become deserted."

Ling Yueqing took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "I have a medicine that can stimulate the reappearance of one's memory, but it only works when one has seen old things and scenes."

Ling Feng was shocked, "This small bottle of medicine can have such a miraculous effect? ​​But you were so young at that time, how could you remember anything?"

Ling Yueqing shook her head. "That's not necessarily true. In the past ten years, the killer hasn't come looking for you guys, but he keeps hunting me down. Isn't that strange?"

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's really strange. I always felt that what happened back then was directed at me. Is there another hidden story?"

"I don't know. Or maybe I saw something I shouldn't have seen back then."

"Okay, I'll go with you right away." Ling Feng took Ling Yueqing and Xiao Mingchen to the old house of the general.

Ling Yueqing took the "Memory Enhancement Powder" while walking on the road. She felt like she had taken mint, refreshing and cool. Her mind was especially clear, and even the things she saw and the sounds she heard were much clearer.

The general's mansion had been abandoned for many years, and the yard was now overgrown with weeds.

As Ling Yueqing entered, the first thing that caught her eye was the ginkgo tree that had appeared countless times in her dreams.

The ginkgo tree now is quite different from what she remembered. She can even feel that new buds and branches have slowly sprouted from the charred stump that was burned by fire, and it has slowly become as lush and green as it is today.

Ling Yueqing walked all the way inside, passing by pavilions and towers covered with weeds, and many memories began to appear in her mind.

"Father, push me higher, higher. I want to grab the moon and light it for mother to take the road. Mother is timid and afraid of the dark."

"Okay, Shuang'er, hold on tight."

Ling Feng was pushing young Ling Yueqing (Ling Shuangshuang) on ​​the swing, while Qiao was sitting beside them, embroidering and smiling gently.

----

"Dad, why do we have to let Nanny take me out to play? I don't want to go out to play, I want to play with mom at home." Young Ling Shuangshuang looked helpless.

"Shuang'er, have you forgotten? You said you wanted a sister, but if you were at home, your sister wouldn't dare to come out."

"Ah? Why? I will treat her very well and will not bully her." Ling Shuangshuang said hurriedly.

"Good boy, but your sister doesn't know. Go out and play first. When your sister comes, you can talk to her in person, okay?"

"Okay." Ling Shuangshuang obediently looked back every few steps as she went out to play with the nanny.

Mrs. Qiao looked at Ling Feng who had no shame on his face and said, "My husband, I am really convinced. It's hard for you to even lie to your child."

"Hey, Luo, from now on it's just the two of us..."

-----

The huge fire lit up the dark night like day.

Ling Shuangshuang looked at Mrs. Qiao and Nanny Li talking with an expressionless face.

After several refusals, Nanny Li bowed deeply and said, "Madam, rest assured. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect the young lady. Please take care of yourself, Madam."

Mrs. Qiao looked at her beloved daughter lovingly, but Ling Shuangshuang was heartless and insensitive at this moment, and did not respond like a puppet.

Nanny Li held Ling Shuangshuang in her arms and ran out of the general's mansion hiding all the way.

Ling Shuangshuang lay quietly on Nanny Li's shoulder, watching Qiao's face gradually become blurred. Suddenly, a bright light from the corner of the wall dazzled Ling Shuangshuang's eyes.

She looked up and happened to meet the man in the corner. He was not wearing a mask, and his facial features were ordinary. His expressionless face showed his indifference as if human life was worthless.

However, the man just watched as Nanny Li took her away, with no intention of chasing after her.

Ling Yueqing stopped. On the day of the fire, this person was the most suspicious. She thought that the truth lay with this person.

She turned around and looked at Ling Feng, "Dad, let's go back."

"Qing'er, did you remember anything?"

Ling Yueqing nodded, "There are some unusual things. I'll go back and tell Dad in detail."

"it is good."

Several people returned to Ling's house together.

"Qing'er, what do you remember?"

Ling Yueqing described the man's clothes and appearance in detail.

"Dad, do you have any impression of this person?"

Ling Feng recalled that this kind of person is not uncommon. "Does this person have any other characteristics?"

Ling Yueqing thought about it carefully, "It seems that he has applied something on the left side of his face where his eyebrows meet, which makes it whiter than other places."

"There seemed to be something hanging around his waist, like a lion, no, it seemed to be a tiger, but also seemed to be neither."

Ling Yueqing frowned and thought carefully, and was startled by Ling Feng's sudden standing up.

"But it has a lion's head and a tiger's body?" Ling Feng's words awakened the dreamer.

"Yes, it seems to be true. Dad, have you seen it?"

Ling Feng said in a heavy and angry tone, "I have seen it. This thing is called the Lion-Tiger Talisman. According to legend, the founding emperor of Qi State had two sons. The eldest prince was made the crown prince since birth, but when he ascended the throne, he was ambushed and abandoned in the forest for several months."

"Just when everyone thought he was dead and nominated the second prince to ascend the throne, he came back, and was protected by two ferocious beasts, a lion and a tiger."

"The two beasts bit the second prince to death on the spot. No one dared to say anything, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne smoothly."

"Later, the Lion-Tiger Talisman came into being. Every emperor has a group of imperial guards around them, called the Emperor Guard. The Emperor Guard obeys the emperor's orders, regardless of right or wrong. Today, the Lion-Tiger Talisman is in the hands of Huang Qi, the leader of the Emperor Guard."

Ling Yueqing spoke up, "Speaking of this matter, the burning of the general's mansion and the people who have been hunting me down all these years were all ordered by the emperor?"

Ling Feng didn't want to believe it, but the lion and tiger talisman couldn't be faked, so he could only nod with difficulty.

"Then why didn't Huang Qi kill me at that time? Instead, he kept chasing me afterwards?" Ling Yueqing asked in confusion. Isn't this seeking the long way instead of the near?

Ling Feng sighed, "Qing'er, you don't know that when the previous emperor passed away, there was a forced abdication."

"Huang Qi blocked a palm strike for the emperor, and his martial arts skills were completely destroyed. He also got scratched on the peak of his eyebrow, which left an impression. That's why when you saw him, he had something painted on to cover it up."

"I guess I let you go because I had no one around to help me, and I was afraid of being seen."

"Then what does the emperor want? Just to burn down the general's mansion? If he wants it, he can just give it to him. Is it worth it for him to send people to kill people and set fire to it?"

"The heart of an emperor is unfathomable. I'm afraid only he himself knows it." Ling Feng smiled bitterly. He fought for the king for half his life, but in the end, the person who harmed him for half his life was actually the king. It was really ridiculous to think about it.
