Chapter 198 Qingqing is my life
Feng Jiuqing finally managed to get rid of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and had Ah He fished out of the dungeon and put him in the room to replace him. Then he immediately returned to the palace and exchanged identities with Canglang. He originally wanted to go see King Nancheng and find out if today's incident was related to King Nancheng.
He originally suspected that the person behind the scenes was King Nancheng, but today the assassin pretended to kill Mo Ling, but was actually targeting King Nancheng.
If it was the King of Nancheng, there would be no need to do this. He was already in poor health, and it was unnecessary to design for himself to get hurt.
The only benefit of King Nancheng doing this is that Mo Ling will lessen his suspicion of him, but Mo Ling will never doubt King Nancheng.
His action was completely unnecessary, so Feng Jiuqing wondered if he had guessed wrong.
Who knew that just as he passed by the palace, he heard the words of the Western Yan envoy. The current Western Yan was similar to the Dai Viet of the past, with internal strife in the court. He was lucky that Dai Viet did not cause trouble for him.
He actually dares to speak nonsense here. Does he want to start a war?
Or was it because I didn’t beat them hard enough last time? Do I need to teach them again why the sky is so blue?
With a hint of coldness in his eyes, Feng Jiuqing pressed directly towards the envoy from Western Yan.
The envoy from Western Yan suddenly felt as if someone had placed a sharp blade on his neck out of thin air. He was filled with murderous intent, as if his throat would be cut in the next second.
He moved back a little, avoiding Feng Jiuqing's gaze, and remained silent.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"
Feng Jiuqing sat lazily on the wooden chair and glanced at the envoy from Western Yan.
The Western Yan envoy coughed awkwardly, his face gloomy, and said reluctantly: "I said the wrong thing, please don't blame me, Grand Master."
Feng Jiuqing chuckled, with a hint of coldness in his voice, "If I hear any nonsense again, don't say it anymore. Do you understand?"
The envoy from Western Yan could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. This man was more terrifying than the King of Dai Viet, and he could not afford to offend him.
"Don't worry, Master. It won't happen again."
Feng Jiuqing then stood up, glanced at the censor and said, "I have something else to do, you continue."
The censor bowed to Feng Jiuqing's back and said, "Farewell, Grand Master."
In the Xuanshi Hall, all the other ministers had left, except Prime Minister Lu, who looked gloomy. He bowed to Mo Ling and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request."
Mo Ling looked at Prime Minister Lu expressionlessly, "Prime Minister, what else do you want?"
Prime Minister Lu knelt down in front of Mo Ling. Mo Ling's eyes darkened a little and he said softly, "Prime Minister, please stand up. There is no need for such a great ceremony."
Prime Minister Lu turned a deaf ear to him, looked at Mo Ling firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my youngest son was neglected by me for many years, suffered a lot, and went through many hardships before returning to my side."
"Your Majesty, please spare my young son, considering my years of dedication to Dai Viet. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard!"
"My poor young son was swapped at birth. He is lucky to have survived all these years. Your Majesty has already failed him once. Will you fail him a second time?"
Mo Ling looked at Prime Minister Lu steadily and said, "I will never let him down again. I will compensate him for everything I owed him in the past."
Prime Minister Lu still knelt straight, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "But didn't Your Majesty say that he can only be Ah He, not Qing Qing. Your Majesty, he is so afraid of you that he even cries and trembles in front of you. Are you really cruel enough to let him do this?"
"If your majesty still has any affection for him, please let him go. He is Ah He and only Ah He, not your majesty's noble lord."
"When Qingqing was Your Majesty's noble lord, he was not only criticized by the world, but also suspected by Your Majesty, and even died because of Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, he is also a human being, he can get hurt and feel pain. Your Majesty has already let him be criticized once, and now he is just Ah He, the innocent youngest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did Your Majesty do such a thing to him in the Imperial Garden?"
"Your Majesty, do you really want Ah He to destroy all her innocence and once again be accused by the world of serving the emperor with her beauty and seducing the world with her concubine?"
A trace of heartache flashed in Mo Ling's eyes. How could he bear to see his Qingqing suffer such injustice again? He would never do anything to hurt Qingqing again.
"I will openly welcome you as my queen, and I will clear all obstacles for him, and I will never let him suffer any injustice again."
Prime Minister Lu chuckled and said, "No need, Your Majesty, you can let him go, that would be the best thing for him. Your Majesty, Qingqing is dead, he is just my son Ah He."
Mo Ling looked at Prime Minister Lu solemnly, and after a while he said: "He is Qingqing, I saw his scar."
Prime Minister Lu's eyes flashed with pain. That scar almost cost his son's life. But His Majesty only regarded it as a mark of recognition.
He didn't want to and was unwilling to let his poor son suffer the humiliation and injustice he had experienced before again.
"Your Majesty, no matter who he is, he is only my son, not the abandoned son he was before. Lan Shu and I will give everything for him. He is no longer Ming Qing without any support."
"No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do. Otherwise, I will do it even at the cost of my life."
Prime Minister Lu was threatening him, but he would not hurt Qingqing. His goal was the same as Prime Minister Lu's, he wanted Qingqing to be safe and protected.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister Lu. I will never hurt you in the slightest. Your words are not a joke."
"Your Majesty, he is my lifeblood. I will not allow him to fall into danger again. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. My Ah He is still a child. I do not want Ah He to enter the palace as a concubine."
Mo Ling said in a deep voice: "Qingqing is also my destiny. I will no longer let Qingqing be my concubine. Qingqing will only be my queen! I will only have him in this life. I swear by heaven and earth that this heart will not change."
Prime Minister Lu took a deep breath and asked softly: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and you have the country and the people of the world, and then Ah He. Ah He will never be your first choice. If one day, you can only choose between Ah He and Dai Yue, how will Your Majesty choose?"
"That day will never come. I will never betray you again. I would rather die for my country than hurt you in the slightest."
Mo Ling's eyes were dark and full of sincerity.
"Your Majesty, your friendship is too great for Ah He to bear. My Ah He is just an ordinary person and cannot bear the love of the king. Please let him go and choose another beautiful woman."
"There are many people in the world who would like to be with your majesty. Your majesty can choose any one you like. But I only have one Ah He. I am willing to give everything I have in exchange for his good health for the rest of his life."
Mo Ling said in a deep voice: "I only want Qingqing. No matter how many other people there are, they will not be my Qingqing. I am like Prime Minister Lu. I will protect Qingqing for a lifetime of peace and security, without worries."
"Oh, it seems that I came at an unlucky time. Xuanshi Hall is so lively."
