"Then I fainted. When I woke up and had enough strength to look at the child, I accidentally lifted the child's clothes and found that the red mole was gone... Later, the Queen Mother, who had always disliked me, suddenly became enthusiastic towards me. Not only did she ask about my well-being every day, but she also loved the child very much. She sent all the good things to my palace. I realized that this might be a huge conspiracy... I didn't dare to say anything... I didn't know where they took my child, whether he was dead or alive... I didn't dare to think..."

Empress Xian was very excited.

The usually calm and indifferent person was now shaking all over, crying and unable to speak...

Finally, Queen Qin could only hold her in her arms and comfort her softly, "You have suffered a lot over the years... This matter concerns the reputation of the royal family, so we can't investigate it in a big way. But don't worry, as long as there is a clue, your majesty will do his best to investigate. If the child is still alive, it would be a great thing... If not... you should also be prepared for the worst..."

"No...no..." Concubine Xian suddenly became excited again, "He must still be alive..."

She stroked her chest, "Sister, believe me, he must still be alive... I can feel it... He is my child, I can feel it, he is still alive..."

"Okay, okay, okay... I believe you, I believe you... Don't get excited, don't get excited..."

Concubine Xian's emotions finally calmed down, and Queen Qin left.

Emperor Jianning passed the news to Prince Ling overnight and asked him to secretly track down the whereabouts of the child.

At that time, Prince Ling was on his way to send Mu Qingyan back to the Qin Mansion.

There was a man standing in front of the Qin Mansion. When Mu Qingyan saw this man, she frowned, "He is really haunting! What on earth does he want to do?!"

Prince Ling did not expect that even after he had given Yang Jing a light punishment and a severe warning, Yang Jing would still dare to bother him.

He immediately ordered A Shu to tie the man up and send him to Xiangning Marquis' Mansion instead.

Yang Jing thought to himself that it was over. He had been able to let him go before for his brother’s sake, but this time, even if the ancestor smashed his head to pieces in the ground, it would be useless…

Prince Ling had the front door of Marquis Xiangning's mansion kicked in. Marquis Xiangning was having fun in his concubine's courtyard. When he heard the doorman report that someone was kicking the door, he was so scared that he thought he had done something wrong and his house was going to be confiscated!

He hurriedly put on his clothes, shoes and socks and came out of the land of peace, only to see his good-for-nothing son tied up and kneeling in front of the door.

He recognized the man who was holding him, he was Prince Ling's guard.

Prince Ling did not get off the carriage and did not even show his face.

Xiangning Marquis hurriedly stepped out of the gate, walked to the side of the carriage and bowed, "Your Highness, please calm down. It is my fault for not educating my son well and angering you. I will take him back and take good care of him..."

The man in the carriage spoke up, "Before I even started talking, you already know that you have failed to educate your son? It seems that you know everything your son has done, but you just let him run wild and are too lazy to discipline him?"

Xiang Ning Hou's heart trembled, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention..."

"The Marquis is very cautious in the court and never dares to take risks. But your son is very bold and dares to covet the princess!"

"What! Your Majesty... are you mistaken? I definitely don't have the courage to do that..."

"He said in person in Zuiyunlou yesterday that my princess is his fiancée. The waiters in the restaurant heard it. Do you need me to summon them so that you can question them one by one?"

Xiang Ning was shocked and frightened. He ran over and kicked Yang Jing twice. "You good-for-nothing rebellious son! Do you want to kill our whole family?"

"For the sake of the eldest son, I only punished him to kneel at the market for one night. I thought he would repent, but tonight, he came to pester me again. I feel that keeping him alive is always a hidden danger and will also damage the reputation of the princess... So, I want to discuss with the Marquis. I want to take his life. Is that okay?"

How could Marquis Xiangning not know that Prince Ling was still leaving room for the Marquis's Mansion!

Otherwise, with his status and position, if he caught Yang Jing doing something illegal, he would be justified in killing him on the spot and sending the body back to him, and there would be no need to discuss it with him at all...

He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have many children, only these two. Please spare his life because I am loyal and have never caused trouble for the court..."

Yang Yi got the news and hurried out, "Your Majesty..."

Prince Ling still thinks highly of Yang Yi. As soon as he arrives, Prince Ling's tone changes.

"Your brother covets my princess and has been pestering her several times. Lord Yang, what do you think is the most appropriate way for me to deal with him?"

Yang Yi said sternly, "According to the criminal law, those who covet the princess should be regarded as despising the royal family and guilty of treason, and should be executed."

Yang Jing started to get scared. He struggled to crawl over, "Prince, please spare my life... I won't dare to do it again... I won't dare to do it again... I don't want to die, I don't want to die... Father, brother, please save me... Save me..."

Marquis Xiangning slapped him in the face, "Rebellious son! Why didn't you think about the consequences when you did such a rebellious thing! If you have lived long enough, I will grant you your wish! Don't bring trouble to my Yang family!"

Yang Yi didn't have any good feelings towards his younger brother at all.

When Liang was alive, he was submissive and had no opinions of his own. He had a reputation for talent but no real learning.

They also like to seek fame and reputation, often stealing the achievements of others, and become proud and complacent about it.

After Liang died, he became a complete useless person, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery every day. Those who used to flatter him were gone now. How could his fragile and sensitive heart bear the sudden fall from grace?

The Liang family was really heartless. They were willing to use money to buy him a good reputation.

After Liang died, he cut off all contact with him and no longer acknowledged the grandson of Liang's legitimate daughter...

It would be easy for Prince Ling to kill Yang Jing, but after all, he was the son of a marquis, and Yang Jing was insignificant. However, Yang Yi was a loyal minister that he and Emperor Jianning had worked hard to cultivate.

We cannot let Yang Jing be tarnished because of his own mistake.

"Break both of his legs. From now on, I don't want to see this person in any occasion... Otherwise, I will kill him without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jing's howl like a pig being slaughtered was heard.

Because Ah Shu had already taken action and crushed both of his kneecaps... and then left cleanly in the carriage.

A broken leg may be reconnected, but a broken kneecap means there will be no chance of ever standing up again.

Xiang Ning Hou was so disappointed that he said, "How dare you howl! Why did you go and provoke the princess for no reason? Prince Ling spared your life, you should be grateful, thank God! Drag him in and call a doctor!"

His leg couldn’t be healed, but we couldn’t let him die in pain.
