Chapter 215: Revealing the True Face

Ling Jue still insisted on his idea and wanted to wait for Ling Xiao to come back. He wanted Ling Xiao to see with his own eyes that the throne fell into his hands.

"This young master wants to wait until Ling Xiao comes back and capture him at the city gate."

"What did you say?"

Li Yuzhu and the Duke spoke at the same time, looking at Ling Jue unconsciously. What did he mean by this?
Ling Jue curled his lips: "Don't you know that the emperor in the palace is Ling Xiao's secret guard in disguise, and the real Ling Xiao is still in Beizhou."

"How can this be?"

Li Yuzhu was stunned.

Ling Jue glanced at her and said, "How can this be impossible? There was a severe drought in Beizhou, and he went to inspect the progress of the canal construction in Beizhou."

He then briefly talked about what he and Ling Xiao had encountered in Beizhou.

Li Yuzhu and the Duke were in disbelief when they heard this.

Li Yuzhu exhaled, and she said coldly: "Then we will ambush at the city gate and wait for him to come back."

Ling Xiao was very clever. He actually took Su Nanyi and those two bastards out to have fun, and even her Tianji Pavilion didn't find out.

Once upon a time, she was the one by Ling Xiao's side, but now she has become Su Nanyi who was trampled under their feet.

Li Yuzhu gnashed her teeth in hatred, not knowing how things had turned out like this when they were originally fine. They were two people in love, but now they had become enemies who would never stop fighting.

Ling Jue noticed Li Yuzhu's mood swings, looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "I am very curious, why is the Pavilion Master so angry at Ling Xiao?"

Li Yuzhu looked back at him. Since they had reached an agreement, there was nothing to hide about her identity.

She took off the veil from her face, revealing her true face.

When the Duke saw Li Yuzhu's face, he was horrified: "Are you the Imperial Concubine?"

Ling Jue didn't know Li Yuzhu, but when he heard the Duke's exclamation, he was also quite surprised. He thought Li Yuzhu was the widow of some minister, but he didn't expect that she was an imperial concubine.

That was Li Yuzhu, Ling Xiao’s former favorite woman.

Li Yuzhu glanced at Ling Jue and the Duke: "Why? Now that you know my true identity, isn't it a little too late to regret?"

The Duke shook his head quickly: "No, no, this Duke just feels very surprised. Wasn't the Imperial Concubine banished to the cold palace?"

Li Yuzhu bit her lip and said, "I am no longer the Imperial Concubine, so please stop calling me Duke. And the cold palace cannot hold me back. It's a joke."

"Clap clap clap..."

Ling Jue clapped his hands lightly and chuckled, "So that's how it is. The Pavilion Master has cleared up my confusion. I have always wondered about the Pavilion Master's identity and what kind of stunning woman she is. It turns out that she is the Imperial Concubine.

But a man as ruthless and ungrateful as Ling Xiao really deserves to be killed."

"I hope Mr. Ling is not someone like Ling Xiao, otherwise, I can kill you anyway."

Li Yuzhu looked at Ling Jue with a grim expression.

"Hahaha……"

Ling Jue was extremely happy. He never thought that Li Yuzhu actually had such an interesting woman. Women are all so naive and still trust men so much. How much truth a man says is true depends on who he is talking to. She still dares to have hope in him. He is really a person who only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. However, it is good like this.

It saves him from wasting his feelings. He still has to spend time coaxing her, but after the matter is done, the mother and son can no longer be kept.

He can have Ling Xiao’s woman, but he will never keep her and give her the chance to kill him.

He is not as stupid as Ling Xiao. If he had kept such a poisonous snake around, he would have killed it long ago. He even dared to kill his own man. What kind of person is he?

However, he thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said gently: "Master, don't worry, we all have a common enemy, just keep your original intention."

Ling Jue controlled his emotions very well. Even a veteran like Li Yuzhu could not sense Ling Jue's emotional fluctuations. He was very calm, which made Li Yuzhu less guarded and thought he was telling the truth.

So she said, "Mr. Ling is right. Our current enemy is Ling Xiao. He is unkind to me, so I will naturally be unjust to him. This is my principle as a human being."

Li Yuzhu said this to warn Ling Jue and the Duke, and to express her meaning implicitly, that is, if Ling Jue was as ruthless as Ling Xiao, then she would definitely turn around and deal with Ling Jue.

A smart man like Ling Jue couldn't tell that Li Yuzhu was alluding to him. However, he had already expressed his attitude, and there was no point in expressing it again and again.

This topic was over, and then they discussed how to deal with Ling Xiao and others.

Li Yuzhu agreed with Ling Jue's approach. She also hoped to see Ling Xiao fall from the altar. She wanted to see them die with her own eyes to relieve the hatred in her heart, and they had to die in her hands.

Especially Su Nanyi, she wanted to take away her space, which originally belonged to her. I don’t know what method that damn Su Nanyi used to take away her space.

As long as she has the space in her hands, the world will belong to them and their son.

Ling Xiao and Su Nanyi still don’t know what will be waiting for them at the city gate.

At this time, they were only a hundred miles away from the capital. They were very tired from the journey, so they rested here for one night and continued their journey the next day.

It would take about another day's journey to reach the capital.

But the closer he got to the capital, the more Ling Xiao dared not relax.

He knew clearly that Ling Jue would be waiting for him somewhere, but he didn't know that Ling Jue was waiting for them at the city gate.

Ling Xiao sent out secret guards to gather information and found out that everything was normal in the capital and the court was equally calm.

He knew that it was because of calmness that unrest appeared.

After they made their arrangements in the evening, they prepared to rest.

Su Nanyi had been suffering from severe morning sickness during this period, and she looked extremely haggard. Even the spiritual spring water could not suppress the symptoms.

Mo Lian said distressedly: "Master, you haven't eaten anything today. Are you hungry now? What do you want to eat? I will go out and find it for you."

This is a county town and there is no curfew at night.

Su Nanyi shook her head and said worriedly, "I don't have much appetite right now. I'm worried about the remaining journey back to the city."

Mo Lian asked, "Master, are you worried that someone will assassinate us along this stretch of road?"

Su Nanyi nodded: "Yes, our journey back home was too peaceful, I'm sure the rest of the journey will not be peaceful."

"Should we take some measures?"

Su Nanyi nodded again: "Of course, at least the two wet nurses must be arranged, and you will give them 1,000 taels of silver notes each and let them leave alone, and don't go back to the capital with us.

There are also Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. They don’t know how to fight, so let them stay here first and we will send someone to pick them up after we return to the city.

If we encounter any danger or the situation changes, tell them not to go back.

In addition, you should prepare some money for them, at least to ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

Su Nanyi had a premonition that the next part of the journey would not be peaceful and someone would definitely come to assassinate them.
