The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Chapter 161 The truth back then

Ling Yueqing looked at Ling Feng's livid face and asked, "Then Dad, what are you going to do now?"

"I will go to the palace myself and ask him what he wants."

"Dad, I'll go with you."

Ling Feng touched Ling Yueqing's head and said, "No, he doesn't dare to do anything to me. Although I have taken off my armor for many years, I still have some rights."

"I'll go with my father-in-law and pretend to be his subordinate so as not to attract attention." Xiao Mingchen said.

Seeing Ling Yueqing's worried look, as if to say, "If you don't let him go, then I will go," Ling Feng said with a smile, "Okay, tomorrow, my dear son-in-law and I will go to the palace together to find out the truth."

On the second day, Ling Feng went to the palace to meet the emperor on the pretext of reporting military intelligence and rushing back to Xuancheng overnight.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"My dear minister, please stand up. I heard that you have something important to report. What is it?" Emperor Xuancheng looked enthusiastic and helped Ling Feng up.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please ask Your Majesty to dismiss your attendants."

"Okay, you all go down." Emperor Xuancheng looked at Ling Feng's serious expression and waved his hand to let them go down.

Then Emperor Xuancheng looked at Xiao Mingchen behind Ling Feng and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

Ling Feng cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, this is my newly adopted son."

Emperor Xuancheng looked him up and down, "Oh? When did Lord Ling adopt a son? How come I didn't know about it?"

"This time when I led the army to war, I rescued a soldier. We got along very well. Since I had no children, I adopted him as my adopted son. When I came back, I brought him to Your Majesty first."

Emperor Xuancheng nodded and asked, "My dear, is this the reason why you came to the palace this time?"

"There is one more thing that needs to be verified with the Emperor."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Ling Feng didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the point.

"I recently received news that the fire in my mansion was set by someone sent by Your Majesty. Is this true?"

"Ridiculous! Why would I set a fire? Who has wronged me?" Emperor Xuancheng slammed the table and stood up.

"Lord Ling, you wouldn't believe such a ridiculous thing, would you?"

Ling Feng stared at the emperor's face and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but the one who set fire to the palace was Huang Qi, the leader of the emperor's guard team, so I had to believe it!"

There was no need for Emperor Xuancheng to admit it. The panic that Ling Feng saw in his eyes was enough to prove that he knew about this matter.

Seeing Ling Feng's disappointed look, Emperor Xuancheng stopped pretending and came clean.

"In that case, I won't hide it from you. It was indeed my order that happened that day, but I did it all for your own good!"

When Ling Feng heard him say this, he almost laughed out of anger. His wife had been bedridden for many years, and he had been separated from his family for several years, but in the end, it was all for his own good? How ridiculous!

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, may I ask, what is the good of this minister?"

Emperor Xuancheng spoke with a hypocritical look on his face, "Your Majesty Ling's family has been loyal for generations, and you are a pillar of our country. However, your wife only gave birth to a daughter, and she is jealous and will not allow you to take a concubine."

"This is going to cut off my loyal and good family line. How can I allow this? Why not take this opportunity to divorce her? I will then find another good match for you and give birth to a biological son, which is always better than an adopted son."

Emperor Xuancheng looked at Xiao Mingchen behind Ling Feng, and became more and more confident as he spoke. He said, how could anyone not like a son? After pretending to be in love for several years, he still adopted a son.

This was a new reason Emperor Xuancheng came up with after seeing Xiao Mingchen. In fact, he had no intention of taking their lives back then.

He just wanted to send people to set fire and loot secretly first, and then send people to rescue openly, so that he could get the title of savior and make Ling Feng work for him more wholeheartedly.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong and Ling Feng was forced to resign from his post and take off his armor on the spot. Emperor Xuancheng often regretted it when he thought about it. He didn't do it more cleanly. In the end, he didn't get to eat the mutton, but got into trouble.

Looking at Emperor Xuancheng's smug expression, Ling Feng could hardly control the primordial force in his body. Who dared to meddle in other people's business?

He really wanted to punch him, but Ling Feng's right hand was about to move, but was grabbed by Xiao Mingchen from behind.

He secretly shook his head at Ling Feng and said, "Foster father, I think the emperor is right. You are still young, you can divorce your wife and remarry. You have done your best to stay with her for so many years."

"Hahaha, good. I didn't expect that the adopted son of Lord Ling is such a smart man. You must learn from him." Emperor Xuancheng looked at Xiao Mingchen with satisfaction and said.

"Yes, I will think about it carefully when I get back. I will take my leave now."

"Go ahead, I look forward to hearing good news from you, my dear."

Ling Feng and Xiao Mingchen walked out, left the palace and returned to the Ling Mansion. Ling Feng remained silent as he was afraid of being seen by someone with ulterior motives.

After entering Ling's house, he could no longer bear it and punched the wall. The thick wall immediately peeled off and cracked, leaving a hole. "This is really too much!"

"Father-in-law, there is no need to be angry over such a villain. Don't hurt yourself." Xiao Mingchen looked at Ling Feng's hand oozing with blood and handed him the handkerchief.

Ling Feng sighed deeply, "My dear son-in-law, you are right. Let's go in. They must be waiting anxiously."

He bandaged his hand hastily and walked into the house.

When I entered the house, Qiao Shi, Ling Yueqing and Yu Wen Che were all there.

As soon as the two entered, the sounds of laughter and chatter suddenly stopped. Qiao was the first to notice Ling Feng's hand and asked anxiously, "Husband, what happened to your hand? Is it injured?"

"Nothing, just an accidental bump."

Mrs. Qiao ignored him and hurriedly took out her medicine box and carefully applied medicine and re-bandaged his wound.

Ling Yueqing asked Xiao Mingchen, "Ah Chen, what is going on? Have you found out anything since you entered the palace?"

Xiao Mingchen repeated Emperor Xuancheng's words in detail.

Ling Yueqing couldn't help but swear after hearing this, "Is he sick? He is just looking for trouble."

"Whether someone gives birth to a son or not is none of his business. Even if a son is born, he won't call her dad."

Ling Yueqing cursed and swore, looking at the stunned people, and asked Ling Feng, "Dad, what are you going to do? You are not going to serve this kind of emperor again, are you?"

Ling Feng said with certainty, "Of course not. I retired more than ten years ago. This time I returned to the battlefield because of your mother's illness. Now that your mother is well, I will naturally not go again."

Ling Yueqing said, "Since the General's Mansion has burned down, there is nothing to tie us down here. Let's move our family to Li State together, so that my parents and I can see each other more often."

Ling Feng and Qiao looked at each other, and Ling Feng said, "This needs to be carefully planned. Many of the elders in this mansion have followed me all their lives..."

"Ah!" Ling Yueqing sighed and said pretentiously, "I have been without my parents for all these years. Now that I have finally found them, we have to be separated by two countries again..."
