Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 838: Li Xingsheng & Ling Yuezi Extra (08): This Voic

Ah Qing and Ah Lan took a deep breath of cold air.

The two looked at Ling Yuezi in shock, "Princess..., the late Emperor..., there’s no late Emperor in the tomb?"

"Pri Minister Lv was worried that I would expose his illegitimate child, so he told this secret. He has served three dynasties and is a wise man; he shouldn’t be lying." Ling Yuezi sneered, "The Emperor is not a fool either. That he listens so faithfully to the Regent King, I have long suspected the Regent King must have done sothing to make him so obedient. So it turns out to be..."

Ling Yuezi’s eyes were filled with anger and helplessness.

Ah Qing said indignantly, "Princess, let’s go and steal the late Emperor’s ashes!"

Ah Lan also said, "Yes, let’s secretly get them back. With the late Emperor’s ashes in his hands, he will certainly threaten the Princess."

Ling Yuezi shook her head, "I’ve never been to Mingyu Pavilion, I know nothing about that place. To go there rashly, I’m afraid it won’t succeed."

"Then what should we do?" The two maids worried again.

Ling Yuezi said, "So, tomorrow I will attend his tea party, and we will first scout out the situation at Mingyu Pavilion, and then act according to circumstances."

Ah Qing glanced at Ah Lan, and the two nodded gently, "Princess, this is the only way, but the Princess must be very careful. We should make more preparations, prepare more weapons and poison, just in case the Regent King acts first."

"Of course, I do not trust the Regent King’s character." Ling Yuezi laughed coldly.

Li Xingsheng, who was eavesdropping outside, glanced toward the main hall and quietly left.

Regent King?

Is he seeking death?

Daring to threaten Ling Yuezi!

He wanted to see just how many arms and legs this so-called Regent King had!

Li Xingsheng did not know where the Regent King lived, but this did not trouble him.

On leaving Ling Yuezi’s Moonlight Palace, Li Xingsheng encountered a eunuch dispatched by the Regent King.

Li Xingsheng dragged the eunuch into a dark corner, took out a small knife, and pressed it against the man’s neck, "I ask, you answer."

The cold knife against his skin was bone-chilling.

The tip of the knife just lightly pierced the skin, causing a slight pain.

This slight pain made the eunuch’s soul fly away with fear, "I will say, say, say... you... you... what do you ask..." not daring even to ask who the man was.

"Who is the Regent King and why is Princess Yue afraid of him?" Li Xingsheng lowered his voice and asked coldly, "If you dare to shout or lie, the tip of the knife will stab into your neck. Want to try it?"

Who dares to try?

The eunuch’s legs trembled with fear.

"No, no, no, I won’t lie."

"Hurry up and speak!"

"It’s..." The eunuch hesitated before finally talking about the Regent King, "I don’t know if Princess Yue is afraid of the Regent King, but everyone in Nanyue Country fears him. He holds great power, his ancestors were founding alien princes with contributions to Nanyue, he supported the Emperor’s ascension, and he found the long-lost Princess Yue. Probably because of these reasons, Princess Yue respects him?"

"So that’s how it is... Was the Regent King’s forr title Prince Ping?" Li Xingsheng inquired further.

"Exactly."

"Take to the Regent King’s residence." Li Xingsheng, unwilling to waste ti walking, again whispered a threat.

The eunuch, fearing death, could only say, "Yes, yes, yes, yes..."

However, to ensure no risks, Li Xingsheng used a silver needle to pierce the eunuch’s Mute Acupoint, rendering him completely silent.

Finding the right acupoint can easily subdue a person; this was a thod taught to him by Li Yuzhu.

Li Xingsheng was the smartest of the three brothers, he learned things instantly.

The eunuch discovered he couldn’t speak and was even more convinced he had encountered a master, not daring to resist at all, obediently leading Li Xingsheng toward the Regent King’s residence at Longrui Palace.

The Nanyue Palace was not large, with a short distance between the palaces.

From Ling Yuezi’s Moonlight Palace to the Regent King’s Longrui Palace was only separated by a palace wall and a corridor, a re hundred steps or so.

The eunuch, unable to speak, pointed to the main hall of Longrui Palace, "Ah, ah."

Li Xingsheng knocked the eunuch unconscious and tossed him into a cluster of flowers, striding toward Longrui Palace.

He climbed into Longrui Palace using the sa thod.

The side hall of Longrui Palace was the Regent King’s bedroom.

The Regent King was half lying on a couch, drinking and enjoying himself with a beauty.

"Am I not beautiful? Prince actually left , running eagerly to see that cold-faced beauty, leaving to sleep alone in the cold bed, so lonely." The beauty, weak and boneless, leaned against the Regent King, wrapping her arms around his neck, acting coquettishly.

The Regent King held a cup in one hand and her waist in the other, occasionally pinching the flesh of the beauty’s waist.

"I went to her for important matters, but my heart is with you, and my body also thinks of you." He drank the wine, tossed aside the cup, pulled the beauty onto the couch, and pressed her beneath him.

The beauty giggled.

"Indeed, such a cold person, how interesting can a concubine be?" The beauty’s voice was coy.

The Regent King squinted his eyes, "Your reminder just made interested; I want to try her body."

The beauty’s face suddenly changed, "Prince, you’re happy with , why are you still thinking of others?"

She seed unwilling to be neglected, used sches, and entangled herself with the Regent King.

The Regent King was aroused by her teasing, but at the sa ti, he thought of sothing.

"If you have a way to help get that cold beauty, I will appoint you as a concubine."

The beauty was just a favored concubine of the Regent King.

A favored concubine has no status; today she is the woman of the Regent King; one day, when he’s unhappy, he can send her away, and she will be nothing.

The beauty dreams of getting a status, having a child, and living a wealthy life forever.

She joyfully asked, "Really?"

If she beca a concubine, she might beco a first wife one day because the position of the Regent King’s first wife is still vacant.

The Regent King was plotting in his heart; he was an alien prince, not eligible to inherit the throne of Nanyue Country.

But what if he beca the son-in-law of the Ling Family?

If his son has half Ling Family bloodline, then it would be easier.

This is also the main purpose for the Regent King to bring Ling Yuezi back, although he never ntioned his thoughts to anyone.

"Really." The Regent King pinched the beauty’s chin, smiling gently, "I love you so much, and I’ve long wanted to give you a status, but you know well enough. There are many won in my backyard; if I appoint you, they will cause a scene. How can I refute them? Only if you accomplish sothing, you can rightfully beco a concubine, and others will say nothing about you. Excellence ascends, after all."

The beauty was persuaded and said smilingly, "I understand."

She hooked her arms around the Regent King’s neck and whispered a few words, "Using this thod, she will have no choice but to listen to the Prince."

The Regent King pinched the beauty’s chin, laughing, "Did you do the sa to back then?"

The beauty was frightened, losing her color, "No... I wouldn’t dare."

"Haha, look how frightened you are; does this body of yours need dicine? You yourself are the dicine."

With a few words, the beauty was amused and laughed rrily.

Outside the room, Li Xingsheng’s gaze was dark, with a murderous air in his eyes.

The two inside talked and laughed; their words gradually beca unbearable.

Li Xingsheng frowned slightly and quietly left.

He returned to Moonlight Palace, and this ti, he knocked on the door openly.

Every evening after the door was closed, the people arranged by the Regent King to monitor Ling Yuezi were tied up by Ah Qing and Ah Lan and thrown into the adjacent side hall.

Ling Yuezi did not like being watched, but temporarily had no good idea to drive people away, so she had to do this.

Thus, when Li Xingsheng knocked on the door, there was no response for a long ti.

As Li Xingsheng knocked, Ling Yuezi had just taken off her clothes and lay down.

She thought it was the Regent King coming to disturb her again, sneered, and said, "Ah Qing, curse him away!"

Ah Lan ca into the room, "Princess, this Regent King is too much, is there no end? He’s knocking on the door late at night!"

"No matter what he says, don’t let anyone in this ti!" Ling Yuezi shook open the blanket and lay down.

She had already agreed to the appointnt, what more did he want?

"Yes, Princess."

The two maids closed her bedroom door and went to the main door together.

Outside the door, the knocking continued.

"The Princess is asleep; if there’s anything, speak of it tomorrow." Ah Qing glanced at the door, arms crossed, speaking coldly.

Ah Lan also spoke angrily, "A lone man and a woman talking at night may cause gossip, Regent King, please respect yourself."

"With so many people during the day, are you sure you want to co and knock on the door in broad daylight?" Li Xingsheng looked at the door, chuckling softly.

Ah Qing and Ah Lan heard the voice and were stunned.

This wasn’t the Regent King’s voice; this voice...

Sounded so familiar.

"Is it Mr. Li?" Ah Qing gasped.

"Why... why is he here?" Ah Lan was also scared.

"Open the door or not? If not, I’ll climb over the wall." Li Xingsheng looked at the door and knocked again.
