Ling Tianyin’s expression really couldn’t be called happy.

His face was dark and his eyes were unfathomable.

However, Yun Linzhou noticed that he was holding a piece of half-eaten sugar cake in his hand.

The flowing black sesame filling had long dried up and some of it stained Ling Tianyin’s fingers.

Empress Zhong waved her hand and the palace maid called Wansi quickly brought a plate over.

Ling Tianyin placed the sugar pastry on it.

Just as Wansi was about to take it away…

“Wait,” Ling Tianyin suddenly said. “Leave it here.”

He tapped the table beside him.

Wansi was stunned and looked at Empress Zhong from the corner of her eye.

The latter nodded at her calmly.

Only then did Wansi put down the plate.

Before retreating to the side, she couldn’t help but take a second look at the sugar cake.

After the black sesame paste dried, it looked dirty.

His Majesty had always been pampered. Why would he hold a piece of sugar cake and walk around in the palace?

Empress Zhong sat down and crossed her hands, looking dignified.

She looked at Ling Tianyin and said in a straightforward tone, “His Majesty, that’s the Great Qi’s princess.

“She and that Marquis Yongye are Gu Yihan’s beloved daughter and his trusted aide.

“Their trip here this time will definitely not be as simple as it looks. Your Majesty, please think twice. Don’t let your guard down.”

Ling Tianyin’s expression was indifferent as he stared at Empress Zhong. “Would I not know to take precautions?”

Empress Zhong was stunned.

She lowered her head. “I’ve misspoke. I’m just worried about you. It’s not that I don’t trust Your Majesty.”

However, Yun Linzhou, who was standing at the side, was already frowning.

“The assassination of Father just now was actually done by the Great Qi’s Marquis Yongye?”

Only then did Ling Tianyin look at his eldest son.

His voice was distant. “No, it was just a group of bad people.”

Usually, Yun Linzhou wouldn’t ask further after hearing this.

After all, he didn’t care about Ling Tianyin’s life.

However, he had just heard it.

Ye Siming had also made his way to Xili!

At this moment, Empress Zhong couldn’t help but say, “Your Majesty, Princess

Yaoguang and Marquis Yongye may be young,

“However, I’ve heard that Marquis Yongye is extremely skilled. If they stay in Consort Lu’s Qinghe Palace, wouldn’t that put Consort Lu in danger at all times?

“Otherwise, let me make the decision to arrange a palace for Princess Yaoguang and Marquis Yongye to rest for the time being. What does Your Majesty think?” Ling Tianyin frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head.

“Consort Lu already has her plans. Let’s listen to her. Moreover, the palace is heavily guarded. Marquis Yongye won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

A trace of hatred flashed across Empress Zhong’s eyes.

Consort Lu, it was Consort Lu again!

As long as she asked, His Majesty could even treat the enemy country’s princess well.

Could it be that His Majesty had forgotten how Marquis Yongye had broken through the layers of guards in the palace and barged in as if no one was around?!

Empress Zhong was about to argue with Ling Tianyin to the end.

Unexpectedly, Yun Linzhou suddenly stood up.

His actions made Ling Tianyin and Empress Zhong look at him.

Yun Linzhou’s expression was dark and there was a hint of anxiety.

“Father, how could you let Marquis Yongye, an outsider, live in the inner palace openly?

“Princess Yaoguang is the Great Qi’s princess. She’s treated as an esteemed guest and can even be accepted and understood by all the officials.”

“But what’s with Marquis Yongye? He’s deeply admired by Gu Yihan. In the future, if Great Qi and Xili were to go to war, he’ll definitely be one of the top person in leading the troops!”

His tone was filled with displeasure.

This made Ling Tianyin frown deeply. The father and son looked at each other with anger in their eyes.

“Who allowed you to talk to me like this?”
