Chapter 4040: Dark, Windy Night

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I can make an issue of something from the queen, and Lord Jing won’t be able to escape. I can then tell Night Owl that I’m the one who can work with him, and I can even marry him!”

To defeat Lord Jing, Princess Yan Ling had worked very hard.

There was no time to waste. Since they were going to drive a wedge between Lord Jing and Night Owl, they had to start right away.

Feng Wu didn’t know what Princess Yan Ling did, but she knew that Yan Ling had gone to negotiate with Night Owl, and Little Phoenix, who was hiding in Night Owl’s residence, told Feng Wu everything.

That was right. Little Phoenix had been staying in Night Owl’s manor these days, for Lord Jing would visit every now and then. The two of them hid in a secret room and talked among themselves, trying to come up with a plan to deal with Princess Yan Ling.

After the Dongsang King learned what had happened in the Jing Manor, he summoned Lord Jing.

Seeing Lord Jing, the Dongsang King asked with a frown, “Why is Princess Yan Ling attacking you again? What’s going on? Did you offend her?” Of course, Lord Jing wouldn’t admit his crime.

He looked like he had been wronged. “Your Majesty, please help me.”

The Dongsang King had a headache.

He loved it when the people of the Dongsang Kingdom didn’t have any conflict with Princess Yan Ling, the Dayan Empire’s ambassador, so that she could stay safe and sound until the second batch of reinforcements arrived.

As it turned out, the Jing manor was in trouble again in such a short time!

“What’s going on?!” The Dongsang King stared at Lord Jing.

Tears welled up in Lord Jing’s eyes, and he was sobbing. He looked so aggrieved.

“Your Majesty, it has something to do with Night Light.

“Princess Yan Ling didn’t like Night Light, to begin with, so she made up a random accusation, saying that he peeped when Princess Yan Ling was bathing, and she killed Night Light because of it.”

Lord Jing stole a glance at the Dongsang King. As expected, the emperor’s face was livid.

“And then?!” Dongsang King’s face darkened.

Lord Jing wiped his tears and said, “Then, Princess Yan Ling showed up out of nowhere. She said…

Dongsang King asked angrily, “What did she say?

Lord Jing looked terrified. “She said… she said that Your Majesty was too disobedient…

“How dare she!”

Before Lord Jing could finish, the eunuch next to the Dongsang King bellowed.

How dare she say that His Majesty was disobedient? That was so offensive!

Lord Jing prostrated on the ground and said loudly, “That was what I told her, but she said that the Dongsang Kingdom was only a parasitic seed of the Dayan Empire. His Majesty was disobedient, and she was displeased on behalf of the empire…”

Lord Jing looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He noticed that the Dongsang King’s face was livid as if he was going to explocle at any moment.

“Keep talking!” The Dongsang King pointed at Lord Jing. “Tell me everything she said!”

“Yes…”

Lord Jing said, “She said Your Majesty was too disobedient and opinionated. You’re not the ruler of the Dongsang Kingdom that the Dayan Empire wants. fre(e)webnov(l).com

so…

The Dongsang King drew in his breath.

He glared at Lord Jing.

His eyes were as sharp as blades.

He wanted to cut Lord Jing open.

Lord Jing didn’t try to dodge the Dongsang King’s glare. He knew that if he tried to dodge now, it would mean that he had a guilty conscience, and the Dongsang King would be suspicious.

He and Night Owl had carefully thought through many details. They were sure that they could win this battle.

As expected, the Dongsang King believed Lord Jing when he saw that he wasn’t looking away.

But deep down, he was in so much pain.

He had given in to Princess Yan Ling. He had even tolerated the fact that his own son had been killed… But Princess Yan Ling was still accusing him of being disobedient?!

The Dongsang King didn’t believe Lord Jing right away and said angrily, “One more lie and I’ll cut you into little pieces!”

Lord Jing kowtowed and said, ‘Your Majesty, of course, I’m telling the truth. I’m telling the truth. If not, Your Majesty can take the head of my entire family.”

Hearing that, the Dongsang King slumped back in his chair, and his face was filled with anger, disappointment, and frustration.

“Your Majesty… Princess Yan Ling is going to replace you!” Seeing this, Lord Jing tried to appease the Dongsang King.

“If she has come to me, she must have gone to someone else!

“She’s going to replace you now. Your Majesty, you have to reconsider!”

The Dongsang King was so frustrated that he threw a dirty look at Lord Jing. “I’ll talk to Princess Yan Ling myself. If you’re not telling the truth, I won’t forgive you. If you are, I won’t mistreat you either. You can leave now.”

Lord Jing grew up with the Dongsang King, and he was the only royal lord with a different surname. That was to say, the Dongsang King was very kind to him.

However, the Dongsang King was so frustrated that he needed to think straight.

Lord Jing knew that he had laid the groundwork, and it was Night Owl’s turn now. Hence, he said, ‘Your Majesty, you’ve given me all the glory and wealth I’ve enjoyed over the years. Even if everyone is against you, Ziqi will still be on your side.”

Ziqi was the name of Lord Jing.

Only then did Lord Jing leave the room.

As soon as Lord Jing left, the Dongsang King turned to his most trusted eunuch.

“Dabang, do you think Lord Jing can be trusted?”

Liu Dabang, the head eunuch, had been with the Dongsang King since he was little, so the Dongsang King trusted him.

Liu Dabang said, “I think there’s some truth in Lord Jing’s words, but it may not be the whole truth… But I’m sure that he wants Princess Yan Ling dead.”

The Dongsang King asked, “Really?”

Liu Dabang said, “Princess Yan Ling charged into the Jing Manor. If Lord Jing hadn’t intervened in time, the Jing Manor would probably end up like Prince Night Light’s manor.

The Dongsang King smacked the table. “How dare she?!”

Liu said solemnly, “Your Majesty, have you noticed the marks on Lord Jing’s face? Princess Yan Ling must have done it.”

Poor Princess Yan Ling. She had whipped quite a few people but never hit Lord Jing in the face. This time, it was all Lord Jing’s doing.

Liu Dabang said, “Princess Yan Ling is too presumptuous. She has no respect for the Dongsang Kingdom..
