Chapter 8 Leaks
Jing Wuxin was extremely proud, and personally led someone to uncover the mask of the hat man. He felt that he had held the throne of the crown prince in the palm of his hand. The Empire's retainers would never accept a traitorous successor. Jing Wuxin couldn't wait to see Jing Yuan's face, and he knew how exciting it would be when he thought about it.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.
"Song Yan?!" Jing Wuxin's eyes were about to pop out, "Why are you?!"
"Hmm......" Song Yan looked like he was stimulated by the sun, and hurriedly snatched the hat in Jing Wuxin's hand and put it on again.
"I've said it all, he's not a remnant of the Ling family!" Jing Yuan's anger continued, "Song Yan has been suffering from a strange illness recently, and he will be worried about his life when he sees the light, and the whole city knows it, but you insist that he take off his hat, and even arrest him and put him in prison, what is your intention?"
"I ......" Jing Wuxin was speechless for a while. Although there is indeed a precedent for photophobia, who in the entire capital does not know that pretending to be sick is the Song family's masterpiece? It is estimated that even his father has already made it clear, but he just doesn't want to demolish him. But since this guy plans to pretend to be sick, he must have made sufficient preparations in advance, and it may be a bit unrealistic to want to debunk him at this juncture. Jing Wuxin thought to himself.
"Unintentional, what's going on?" Jing Liancheng frowned.
“...... Enlighten the father and emperor, and the son...... Erchen didn't know that this person was Song Yan, let alone that he was suffering from a strange disease, so he ordered him to verify his identity. But no matter what his identity is, he must not disobey His Majesty's holy decree!" Jing Wuxin played a trump card.
"I have already reminded Gao Feng about the hidden disease, and I also showed the token of the Song Mansion, as long as the blood test master can prove his identity, why do you insist that he take off his hat?"
"When did you ......" Jing Wuxin was about to refute, but the corner of his eye inadvertently skimmed the jade plaque on the ground - a huge "Song" character was impressive.
"Gao Feng!" Jing Wuxin reacted and glared at the consul of the capital viciously.
"Temple...... Your Highness, he said it was...... Out of town token ......"
"Oh, yes? So you're trying to say that you see Kunlun Jade as Nanmu, don't you? Even if you're old-eyed, you can't deny that I've said he's sick, right?"
"I ......" Gao Feng was sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"So, can I think that you know that Song Yan suffers from photophobia, and deliberately put him in prison in the name of investigating traitors, intending to murder Song Gongzi? Or do you simply plan to use light to kill people?!"
"You fart!" Jing Wuxin was furious, "I think you're the ......"
"Enough!" Jing Liancheng stopped drinking.
"Father, son, minister......" Jing Wuxin was extremely flustered.
"No more talk. Jing Liancheng said impatiently, "You made this farce today, and almost injured the son of the Song family, you must give the Song family an explanation." ”
“...... Be. Jing Wuxin's face turned pale.
"Degraded Gao Feng to the consul of Xinglong City in Yuezhou, and Jing Wuxin, the king of Jiuyou, was demoted to the prince of the second grade. Jing Liancheng took a deep look at Jing Yuan and went home.
Jing Yuan and Song Yan also quickly patted their butts and left, leaving only Jing Wuxin and the unlucky Gao Feng, who were trembling with anger.
"Your Highness......" Gao Feng's voice was trembling.
He wasn't afraid of the Nine Shadows King, he was worried about himself. On the surface, he seems to have his official position unchanged, but what kind of place is Xinglong City in Yuezhou? Yuezhou is one of the poorest and most chaotic state capitals in the eighteen states of Longze, and Xinglong City is even known as the Ghost Gate, large and small demon sect bandits are on fire there every day, killing people on the street is not uncommon, more than fifty percent of the casualties of the soldiers in the Longze Empire come from there, and there have even been cases of Xinglong City Taishou dying at the hands of the Demon Sect, not to mention the officials below?
"Waste! disappear in front of this king immediately!" Jing Wuxin didn't even look at him, and walked away.
Gao Feng's face was colorless, and he sat down on the ground all of a sudden. He knew that his life was completely over.
Song House.
Song Xuan paced anxiously, waiting for the two to return.
The laughter from the door made her eyes light up, and she hurried over.
"When I think of Jing Wuxin's aggrieved appearance today, I am happy. Song Yan stepped in triumphantly.
"Be quiet, don't let outsiders hear. Jing Yuan followed, closing the door by the way.
"How is it? Can you go out?" Song Xuan was not infected by their joyful tone, and her voice was still full of anxiety.
"......" The two immediately fell silent.
“...... Sure enough, it doesn't work?" Song Xuan sighed helplessly.
"It's okay, Lingyun is very safe in my house. Jing Wuxin will never dare to fight the idea of my palace if he can't get actual evidence, and it's nothing if he can't send it out for the time being, let's find a way when the limelight is over. Jing Yuan comforted.
"That's all there is to it. Song Xuan shook his head, "He...... Are you alright?" she asked, hesitantly.
"How could it be good. Jing Yuan smiled bitterly, "He has been in the palace for more than a day, he doesn't eat or drink, he only locks himself in the room, and he won't open the door when I knock on the door." I still remember what he looked like when he was sent to the palace, if I hadn't known him for more than ten years, I really wouldn't dare to imagine that guy covered in blood and murderous eyes would be Ling Yun. ”
"Whoever you change, I'm afraid you will be swallowed up by hatred. Song Yan also sighed.
Song Xuan wanted to say something, but before the words could be spoken, two lines of tears had already crossed her cheeks.
For a moment, there was deathly silence in the room.
In the end, it was Jing Yuan who broke the suffocating silence:
"I still have to go back as soon as possible, in case Jing Wuxin goes crazy and forcibly searches the palace, I'm afraid that those people in my mansion won't be able to stop him. ”
After Jing Yuan finished speaking, he left the room, leaving only the Song brothers and sisters who were speechless.
But she didn't notice that as they spoke, a dark shadow loomed outside the door.
Song Tianji sent away the subordinates who came to report the situation. Today, his good son and King Langya joined forces to pit the King of the Nine Shadows, if he doesn't do anything again, I am afraid that the King of the Nine Shadows will inevitably regard this matter as evidence that the Song family has fallen to the Langya faction. This Lingyun ...... It came at the right time.
