After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world
Chapter 5: Died in Battle
Chu Lingfeng has been in a coma since he suffered severe damage from Murong Ling'er's life-saving magic weapon.
More than a month passed quietly, and when he finally woke up from his coma, everything around him seemed to have changed drastically.
"Prince, you are finally awake!" Lin Yu, who was guarding the bed, was so excited that his voice trembled and his eyes were filled with tears when he saw Chu Lingfeng slowly open his eyes.
However, the first words Chu Lingfeng said were: "Did you get the jade pendant back?" His tone was anxious and firm, as if this matter was more important than his own injury.
When Lin Yu heard this, tears could not stop flowing down, and his voice became more choked: "Sir, take care of your health first, and the jade pendant will be found for you..."
Chu Lingfeng noticed Lin Yu's abnormality. He frowned, tried to make himself more sober, and asked: "What's going on? Didn't the jade pendant get back? Or are you hiding something from me?"
Lin Yu did not dare to hide anything. He opened his red eyes and spoke in a grief-stricken voice: "A month ago, the battle on the front line was lost, and the prince and the second master were all killed in the battle!"
"What!" Chu Lingfeng was struck by lightning when he heard the news. His pupils contracted sharply. He covered his heart with his hands tightly. His face turned pale as paper in an instant. He gasped for breath heavily and fell into great pain.
It took a long time for Chu Lingfeng to recover from this heavy blow.
He raised his head, looked at Lin Yu with tired eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "You must withdraw all the secret guards from the Chu Palace immediately and transfer all my assets. The speed must be fast and the people above must not be aware of it."
Lin Yu's heart was shocked. Although he was full of doubts, he knew that this was not the time to ask questions. He nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, Prince, I will do it right away!" Then he took the order and left in a hurry.
……
At the same time, on the other side of the capital, Murong Ling'er and Murong Chen finally arrived at the door of the Marquis' Mansion after a month's long journey.
"Mom, is this the Marquis' Mansion?" Murong Ling'er looked at the extraordinary and magnificent gate of the Marquis' Mansion, her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Murong Linger quickly pulled Murong Chen to the open space opposite the Marquis' Mansion and gently soothed him, "Chen'er, remember to stay calm, okay? We're here to call for justice, so we must be assertive and not lose in that matter, understand?"
On the way here, Murong Ling'er had already thought carefully about it. No matter what the truth of her original body's murder was, she must get to the bottom of this matter.
Otherwise, facing the endless pursuits in the future, she and Chen'er will never have peace, and it will be difficult for their lives to return to peace.
The mother and son waited patiently like this, time passed minute by minute, from early morning to dusk, when the Marquis's sedan chair finally appeared slowly.
Murong Ling'er rushed forward without hesitation and decisively stopped the sedan chair. Murong Chen was also very smart. He rolled to the ground and cried at the top of his voice: "There's murder in the Marquis' Mansion! Help! Murder!"
"Someone come quickly! Save me!"
"Wow wow wow wow wow..."
This sudden cry stunned Huo Jianjie in the sedan chair for a moment! After he reacted, he frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is making a noise here?"
"You...Qiu Shui!" With just this one glance, Huo Jianjie felt like he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
Those long-forgotten and vanished memories suddenly revived at this moment, enveloping his entire body and mind like a surging tide.
……
The atmosphere in the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion was solemn.
"You said that our Marquis Huo's Mansion is disregarding human life? What is going on? Tell the truth!" Mrs. Huo's wife Deng Lihua had a fierce look on her face, staring at Murong Ling'er with eyes that seemed to be able to pierce through people.
Murong Ling'er gently patted her frightened, pale son in her arms, trying to soothe him. Then, she calmly replied, "A month ago, someone, under the guise of Marquis Huo's Mansion, traveled a long distance to Murong City and attempted to murder me..."
"What? Someone wants to kill you?"
Before Murong Ling'er could finish her words, Huo Jianjie suddenly jumped up from his chair, his face full of surprise and disbelief.
Huo Jianjie's extreme reaction caused both Deng and Murong Ling'er to turn and look at him.
"Master, you..." Deng Lihua just started to speak but hadn't finished her words.
"Master, Madam, the eldest lady is here." Just at this moment, the maid's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Deng Lihua's words.
Murong Ling'er looked towards the door when she heard the sound, and the next moment, she saw a girl in blue clothes coming towards her.
Huo Shuixian walked into the main hall and was about to speak when she raised her eyes and suddenly saw the face looking at her. Her eyes widened in shock, as if she had seen a ghost, and the blood drained from her face in an instant.
When their eyes met, Murong Ling'er was also stunned. The face of the person in front of her quickly overlapped with the face of the person who killed the original owner in her memory.
The murderer turned out to be her? The eldest daughter of the Huo Marquis Mansion! What a coincidence, she actually showed up on her own.
Thinking of this, Murong Ling'er quickly regained her composure, turned to face Marquis Yu, and said firmly, "My Lord, the man who murdered me is the one in front of you."
"Narcissus?" Huo Jianjie's face was full of shock and confusion.
"How is that possible?" Deng Lihua also looked incredulous.
Hearing this, Huo Shuixian's heart trembled and panic spread in her heart, but she quickly calmed down, cursed inwardly, and when she looked up again, she had put on an innocent look.
"How dare you! I don't even know you, so how can you say you killed someone? Who sent you to slander me?"
Huo Shuixian argued loudly, then turned to look at Lord Huo, her eyes full of confusion, "Father, could this person have been sent by someone else to slander my daughter?"
Deng Lihua also frowned, and then joined in: "Shuixian is the legitimate daughter of our Marquis' Mansion. Miss Murong must not wrongly accuse her for no reason."
Since Murong Ling'er dared to come and ask for an explanation, she must have made sufficient preparations.
She calmly pulled something out of her sleeve and presented it to Madam Deng, saying, "Please look, Madam. This is the hairpin I took off when we were arguing with Miss Huo on the top of Xuefeng Mountain that day."
Deng Lihua took it, unfolded the handkerchief and took a look. Inside was a narcissus-shaped hairpin. Upon closer inspection, she saw the Huo family's logo printed on it.
When Huo Jianjie saw this, his face instantly darkened, like a dark cloud. He turned to Huo Shuixian and shouted angrily, "Evil girl, tell the truth!"
