Chapter 1158 Hidden merit and fame
A thin blue line that seemed extremely small compared to the sword energy streaked through the air and hit Wu Lingyao's right hand with incredible precision, piercing through it directly.
After all, he was his wife's master, so Amber did not kill him.
Thump thump thump.
Wu Lingyao took several steps back, blood flowing down his arm to the ground. The sword energy that had been surrounding the courtyard disappeared at this moment, leaving only the destroyed houses and the ground still telling of what had just happened.
She raised her head blankly, her face looking dejected. Compared to the wound on her hand, the result before her was even more difficult to accept.
"Why don't you kill me?"
"We have no grudges against each other, why would I do this?"
Amber waved her hand: "Although I killed Prince Fu, the Crown Prince, and your apprentice, I am actually a very peace-loving person, so don't get me wrong."
Peace-loving?
Wu Lingyao fell silent after hearing what she said.
The corners of Tuoba Yuanshan's mouth twitched, and he was more and more glad for his decision.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will bring you what you want."
What do I want?
Amber was stunned, but did not stop it. Instead, she kept staring at Wu Lingyao.
Compared to the first time they met, this woman had an extraordinary charm. Now her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were dull, and her hair was a little messy. She looked very disheveled.
"You said you paid so much, but now does it seem really worth it?"
"Worth it? Of course it's worth it!"
Wu Lingyao let out a breath softly. Although she was a woman, she was determined, otherwise she would not have come to this point today.
Even though we were defeated completely at this moment, it also further confirmed our guess that we really shouldn't have given up.
"You are just ahead of me. One day, I will catch up with you!"
She said in a very firm tone.
"Then you have something to chase after."
Amber looked at Wu Lingyao sympathetically, "Come to think of it, didn't that Zhang Tianshi come to the capital to protect the prince?"
"His strength is not even as good as Tuoba Yuanshan's. It makes no difference whether he comes or not."
Wu Lingyao shook her head in disdain, and then said seriously: "Leave your name, let me know what it is!"
"Does it matter?"
"Very important."
"Then call me Jizo."
Amber thought of two words to get by, and then seemed to realize something, and a smile appeared on her face.
"See you later."
"etc."
Just as Wu Lingyao was about to say something, the person in front of her had completely disappeared, just as he had been when she came.
At this time she also heard the noise and couldn't help but turn her head to look.
I saw Tuoba Yuanshan walking towards this side with a bloody head in his hand.
"What about people?"
He asked immediately when he couldn't find Amber.
"already left."
Wu Lingyao looked at the prince's head. There was still fear on his pale face. "You are really positive."
"I am different from you. I have no control over many things."
Tuoba Yuanshan threw the head in his hand to the ground with a bit of boredom: "The prince is suffering from a serious disease and is sheltered in the East Palace. The emperor currently has several princes left. Which one do you think is the most suitable?"
"The youngest one."
Wu Lingyao said casually.
"Ah? Why? Xiao Shiba is only five years old this year."
Tuoba Yuanshan asked in confusion.
"Because he's young, he can wait longer." Wu Lingyao rolled her eyes. "The emperor can probably live another ten or twenty years with this body. By then, he'll be older and we won't have to worry about him like we do now."
Although it was very straightforward, Tuoba Yuanshan had to admit that what the woman said made sense.
Isn't it because the prince, who has turned into a corpse, waited too long and didn't want to wait any longer that he did a lot of stupid things, which led to the current situation?
If he had stayed in the Eastern Palace obediently, he would not have been abandoned so easily.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything.
When Zhou and others returned to Qin's Mansion, it was already noon the next day.
Then she heard the news her husband whispered in her ear.
The prince died, not because of an assassination, but because of a sudden illness and died suddenly in the East Palace.
This is too effective, isn’t it?
Seeing Qin Wei intact, Zhou suddenly felt a little scared, so she dragged him to Da Ci'en Temple that afternoon, saying that she was going to fulfill a wish.
Although he was a little puzzled, Qin Wei still patiently agreed.
The court is currently experiencing undercurrents. The emperor wants to purge those who were once tied to the East Palace. At the same time, there is news that Tuoba Yuanshan has bluntly recommended the eighteenth prince to become the crown prince.
If it were someone else, they would have been drowned in spit.
But the person who spoke was the Great Ning Martial God, and the civil and military officials in the court were like chickens with their throats strangled, and they dared not utter a single word.
It is also a good choice to stay away from those storms temporarily.
"Where's Qing'er?"
In the carriage, Qin Wei seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
Zhou was stunned and pulled his mind out of his thoughts.
Because of the prince's matter, she didn't pay much attention to her daughter's movements, but she vaguely remembered hearing Amber say a few words.
"It seems like some junior sister came to the mountain, and went to look for their master together."
"Hmph, how are Qing'er and Bai'er doing lately?"
Qin Wei has been busy recently, so he doesn't know what happened in the mansion.
"What else can we do? I guess the two kids haven't figured it out yet. I guess we have to wait a little longer."
When Zhou heard this, she also looked helpless.
Qin Wei shook his head and said nothing more.
At the same time, in the Qin Mansion.
Qin Qing returned home, but not alone, but with three people.
That’s right, Wu Lingyao and Zhou Qingyao also came along.
"Is Qingyao really injured like this because of your husband?"
Wu Lingyao, who had recovered a little, looked at her unconscious disciple on the hospital bed, her tone a little erratic.
Come to think of it, she has never actually met the son-in-law.
"That shouldn't be the case, maybe it's because of something else?"
Although Qin Qing said this, his lack of confidence was too obvious.
Wu Lingyao stood there in silence for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said, "Take me to see him."
"Ah? That's good."
Qin Qing had no way to refuse, nor did he dare to refuse, so he could only cheer himself up in his heart.
It's just a meeting, no big deal.
Actually, it was strange. She didn't know why she was very resistant to Amber contacting the people she knew.
This is not a fear of losing face, but a more delicate and deeper emotion, which is very complex.
Under the guidance of Qin Qing, Wu Lingyao followed him to Zizhuxuan.
At this time, Amber was lying under a tree taking a nap, and her sleeping posture was very bad.
"Master, this is my husband Amber."
Qin Qing came to the chair, introduced himself first, then suddenly reached out and pinched the nose of someone who was sleeping soundly.
