”That’s right!” The look of approval grew on Yang KongQun’s face, ”What do you think we should do to pull the Ling family in? Furthermore, we must make sure that the Ling family will not be at odds with our Yang family after being pulled in.”

”It would be impossible to ensure that the Ling family do not go against us if we pull them in. The only thing we can do now is to push the Ling family into the line of sight of the other families when the chaos begins. Then, we can use the Ling and NanGong family to create havoc! At that time, the chaos would be formed out and our Yang family can either protect ourselves or even reap benefits from it!” Yang Zhen gave a sly grin.

”That’s right!” this was the third time Yang KongQun said that already. Furthermore, it was said to the same person; to the Yang family, this is a great honor.

”Now that chaos is almost certain, it is inevitable for our Yang family to be at the disadvantage for now. However, our enemy, the Ling family, is completely unharmed. This is something which is extremely disadvantageous to us. We must muddy the waters to make the Ling family lose something as well. Only then will we be able to maintain the balance between both our families. Even if we were to offend an expert, it would be worth it. As long as the Ling and Yang families are balanced, the imperial family would not dare to take any action! This is indeed a good plan!”

Yang Zheng gave two evil chuckles, ”As for the specifics, Family Head will still have to make the decision. However, this subordinate recommends that we act in a diametrically opposite way and make use of the imperial family to help us pave the way. After all, we are not the only ones worried about the Ling family having another expert in such chaotic times!”

Yang KongQun was stunned for a moment before revealing a cold sneer on his face. At the same time, the gaze in his eyes was like a venomous snake glaring at its prey.

Dawn.

The emperor of the Sky Bearing Empire, Long Xiang, had just walked out of his bedroom and was staring at the bright sky. His good mood which had long been lost was suddenly regained; it was as though the flowers and gra.s.s was smiling at him.

All of this was because of a report from the imperial doctor — Consort Ling Ran is pregnant again! This news made Long Xiang ecstatic in excitement. Since she was young, Ling Ran’s body had been weak and she did not have another child after Princess HaoYue. Not only the emperor, even Ling Ran also felt extremely depressed in her heart and hated herself for not being able to give birth to a prince for the emperor. In the palace, the worth of the mother is determined by her son. Thus, she had always been suppressed by the Empress in the palace.

But, she never imagined that she would have another child when HaoYue was already 17 years old. When the both of them received this news, they both doubted that they were in a dream! In order to celebrate the joyous occasion with his beloved consort, Long Xiang had specially stayed in Ling Ran’s palace last night. Looking at the still flat tummy of his beloved consort, Long Xiang could not help but smile from his heart when he thought that another one of his child was inside her womb.

”Reporting to the Emperor, Old Sire Yang requests an audience.”

”Summon him in.” Long Xiang was now in an extremely good mood and replied without thinking. At the same time, he thought to himself, ”The sun had just risen up, why is he finding me so early in the morning for?”

”Emperor, the culprit who killed young n.o.ble NanGong has been found!” Yang KongQun’s first sentence

was something so exciting, ”Will the Emperor help make the decision for this old subordinate to catch the culprit, returning my Yang family our innocence and giving the NanGong family justice.”

”Oh? There is news already?” At the same time, Long Xiang cursed in his heart, ”Why don’t you continue the search for a few more days so we can be completely clear about all of your Yang family’s strengths! You darn old man, concealing such a strength behind my back and you did not even bother giving me an explanation up until now. Now, you even want me to help you to capture the culprit who killed your son-in-law?! You are even trying to bring out both the Yang and NanGong family to pressure me?!”

”Yes, the culprit is a green dressed fortune teller. He entered into the Sky Bearing Empire again yesterday. The soldiers of my Yang family spotted him yesterday and wanted him to apprehend him on the spot. However, young n.o.ble Ling Tian seemed to have been bewitched by his words and stopped my soldiers from doing so. Furthermore, Ling Tian even brought the green dressed fortune teller into his Ling mansion. This is something which concerns Duke Ling’s and the Emperor’s reputation, this subordinate does not dare to make a rash move. Thus, I am here to seek an instruction from the Emperor.”

Yang KongQun’s face turned ashen as he said with drama, ”That young n.o.ble Ling is still young and rash, being bewitched by the flowery language of the culprit. If I can catch the culprit, I can also return innocence to young n.o.ble Ling. If the culprit who murdered young n.o.ble NanGong is hiding in the Ling family as a guest, it will definitely draw some unwanted troubles.”
