Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Admission_1 Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Admission_1 Soon, Princess Ling’an was dragged out as well.

She looked distantly at Prince of Wutong on the opposite city tower, and also saw Jiang Ning, who was tied up next to him. She urgently called out, “Father, Father! It’s me, Ling’an! Why have you captured the Princess Consort?”

Prince Wutong looked at her, his eyes deep. He said softly, “Jiang Mubai, don’t try to threaten me with an impostor. I won’t fall for this. You can kill her. But, do you believe that the one by my side is the real Princess Consort?”

“Of course, I do believe it!” roared Jiang Mubai, “Why don’t you believe that she is your daughter? You, come here, recount some of your father’s secrets that would make him have to believe!”

He grabbed Princess Ling’an.

Ling’an, crying, said, “Father, it’s me, Ling’an! Do you know, Liu Lang is dead, killed by the Brocade Guards! Ah Xuan is also dead, he was only three years old, he had called you grandfather!”

Prince of Wutong’s expression remained impassive, but at the mention of three-year-old Ah Xuan, there was finally a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

Though Ah Xuan was not his actual grandson, who could not pity a three-year-old child!

Prince of Wutong closed his eyes, his voice deep, “Jiang Mubai, let’s exchange. You send Ling’an over, and I will return the Princess Consort to you. The struggle of the imperial court should not involve the children.”

He finally acknowledged that she was the real Ling’an.

Crying, Ling’an said, “Father, please stop helping the Prince of Zhao, I beg you. You must help the Crown Prince! The Prince of Zhao is ruthless, he killed Liu Lang and Ah Xuan. Kill the Empress and the Prince of Zhao for me, I want them to be torn to pieces!”

The colour of Prince of Wutong’s face changed subtly, and he said sternly, “My decision is no place for you to interfere!”

With disbelief, Ling’an said, “The Prince of Zhao detained your daughter and killed Liu Lang and Ah Xuan, and you still want to support them? I’m safe now, you don’t have to be threatened by them anymore!”

Prince Wutong remained silent.

“Hehe.” A soft laugh.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw the beautiful Guxing, with her enchanting figure, appeared again.

However, this time, she appeared beside Jiang Mubai and Ling’an.

She squatted on a rock, winking at Jiang Ning from afar. Then, she said to Princess Ling’an, “My oh my, Princess, you’re so innocent and adorable. You really think your father is helping the Prince of Zhao for you?”

Ling’an asked, flabbergasted, “If not for me, then for what?”

“He’s doing it for the Empress, Your Highness! Don’t you know, your father fell on hard times in his youth and had to be an apprentice in someone else’s house?”

“I… I do know a little about that.”

“Who do you think he apprenticed for?”

“Could it be … the Empress’s family?”

“That’s right!”

The family of the Empress was not prominent, even somewhat humble. Their family’s status today owes entirely to the Empress’s fortune.

The two things they are most proud of in their lifetime are having a daughter who became empress, and nurturing a great general who is mighty in war, was titled as Prince with power and prestige.

But, most people did not know about the connection between Prince Wutong and the Empress’s family.

Even their own daughter, Ling’an, was hearing it for the first time.

She stared at Guxing, pressing, “You are talking nonsense. The Empress is so much older than my father, my father could not possibly be fond of her!”

“What is impossible in this world? Only ten years older, is that a lot? Aren’t you and your husband Liu Lang ten years apart? One is eighteen, and the other twenty-eight, what is impossible there?”
