Mu Ling paused, looked at Ye Ao, and slowly spoke: ”Back then, when we found out that your Royal Uncle Ye Xiao was leading troops to rebel, we was afraid that you would not be able to resist the attacks of the rebel army, so we allowed Mo Feiye to lead the troops to lend a hand, and along the way, Mo Feiye encountered countless of ambushes from the rebel army. By the time Mo Feiye rushed to the Ye Kingdom, the rebel army had already attacked the Imperial Palace. You don't even know if you're dead or alive, while Ye Qingxuan was used by Ye Xiao as a bargaining chip and was imprisoned in the Imperial Palace's dungeon. It was We, Mo Feiye, who forced Ye Xiao to do this, and had no choice but to send Ye Qingxuan to the Mu Kingdom as a proton. ”

”There are only the two of us here, there's no point in arguing arrogantly. You just saw the chaos in my Ye Kingdom and took advantage of the time when I called back my forces to deal with the rebel army.

Ye Ao did not believe what Mu Ling had said. At that time, Ye Xiao had also been like him, gathering all his troops in the Imperial City, so how could he have any extra people to ambush Mo Feiye?

If there really was an ambush, it would not be so easy for Mo Feiye to attack the imperial city.

”If we did not send Mo Feiye to attack and restrain Ye Xiao, you and Ye Qingxuan would not have lived until today.” Since he was already someone who understood the situation, Mu Ling couldn't be bothered to continue pretending.

He could have stayed his hand, but Ye Ao's relationship with him had been severed due to the incident with Ye Rou. He remembered his relationship with Ye Rou, and did not kill him.

However, Ye Ao had embarrassed him in front of the other nations, so he naturally had to take revenge.

So he took advantage of the chaos inside the Ye Kingdom, causing the city's defense to be empty. When Ye Ao was busy, he let Mo Feiye lead the troops to attack the Ye Kingdom.

Not to mention that before this, he and Ye Ao had already completely fallen out and no longer had any relationship whatsoever. As an emperor, it was natural for him to establish his own territory.

Furthermore, he did not intervene, with Ye Qingxuan in Ye Xiao's hands, wanting to use him to lure Ye Ao out and capture both of them in one fell swoop was an extremely simple matter.

But Ye Qingxuan's Mu Kingdom had been brought back by him, so Ye Ao no longer had any misgivings. He could use all of his strength to deal with Ye Xiao, so he did not need to worry about Ye Qingxuan's safety.

Although he was angry at Ye Ao, he would not kill him.

Ye Ao actually understood all of this, but he still understood that Mu Ling had still indirectly caused the death of Ye Rou and her daughter.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Ye Ao raised his eyes and glared furiously at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling picked up the tea cup by his side, took a sip, and then put it down.

”Looks like you guessed it, then I will not beat around the bush with you anymore. Although Ye Qingxuan is not doing very well with me, his life is safe now, I do not want anything else but for you to return Rou Er and the little princess' corpse. Even if Ye Rou dies, she will still be my concubine, so naturally, her bones will be buried together with me in the Royal Tomb. ”

”My sister wrote a blood letter before she died. She wanted you to return her and her child's corpses back to the Ye Kingdom. You also agreed to it. Ye Ao gritted his teeth as he finished speaking, the scar on his face following the change of expression, became extremely sinister.

A sister knew that he did not live long, so she left a blood letter, locked it in a box, and buried it in the soil of the cold palace. After the fire in the cold palace was extinguished, when they were searching for someone, a young eunuch accidentally found it and gave it to Mu Ling.

Mu Ling had kept this matter a secret, but he was still unable to hide it from Ye Ao. After knowing that, he first sent people to infiltrate the palace and steal the blood seal. On the day that he came to congratulate the other countries, he took out the blood seal in front of all the ambassadors and forced Mu Ling to hand it over. Mu Ling could no longer hide it and could only agree to it.

”Even if I go back on my word, what can you do about it?” Mentioning this matter, a ball of anger rose up from the bottom of Mu Ling's heart, and he looked at Ye Ao with even more unfriendly eyes.

If Ye Ao had not forced him to hand over the person, he would not have been so fixated on Ye Rou for the past few years. He would have had no choice but to go to the hall where she used to live to witness the person's thoughts.
