Chapter 891: 419: Zhi Ning mother and child! Fu Lingxi regrets and fears!_2

Fang Qingyi couldn’t help but be taken aback; Ashi Liren was indeed very direct.

"Absent." Fang Qingyi said.

"Really?" Ashi Liren asked, full of skepticism.

Fang Qingyi smiled helplessly and said, "Sister, really absent! Facing the common people of the secular world, even if Suo Lun himself were to visit, I’d dismiss them with a few casual words. But sister, how could I possibly lie to you when you ask?"

The sense of superiority of the descendants of the four secret continents was apparent from this remark.

To the likes of those with secular royal power, he barely took notice, even if Suo Lun was about to become the Regent King. In his eyes, Ashi Liren was of the same class, which was why she had the right to a conversation of equals.

"This decisive battle, Suo Lun has already won," Ashi Liren said.

"I know!" Fang Qingyi said: "I received the message yesterday."

"Do you people of Yin Zhou have no plans?" Ashi Liren asked.

Fang Qingyi shook his head and said, "No, not everyone has the qualification to collaborate with us, even if he is to become the ruler of Rage Wave Kingdom!"

The implication was that even if Yin Zhou’s investment in Zhi Li went completely sour, they had no intention to cooperate with Suo Lun.

"Then do you know where Zhi Ning and her son have been taken?" Ashi Liren asked.

"If they aren’t with me, then they must be at the Dragon Temple," Fang Qingyi replied.

...

Zhidu Tribunal!

"Grand Eunuch Gao Yin, greeting the Old Madame!" Grand Eunuch Gao Yin meticulously paid respects to Fu Lingxi!

This scene looked odd; Gao Yin was of advanced age, while Fu Lingxi was youthful and beautiful, appearing to be in her thirties, yet she was addressed as the Old Madame.

Gao Yin did not call her Judge but Old Madame because she was the mother of Suo Lun.

Fu Lingxi returned the gesture with even more respect and gently said, "Elder Gao should not overstate matters, as by age you could be my father. By connection, Elder Gao was once my husband’s Martial Arts tutor. With such salutations, you will shorten my lifespan."

Gao Yin chuckled and said, "Compared to Your Majesty, Count Suo Long was my most outstanding student, indeed ’the student surpasses the master.’ If he had not been bedridden due to being framed for so long, how could those villains stir up trouble so recklessly!"

He was right!

Count Suo Long was a trusted confidant and direct descendant of King Quo Bian and was once an invincible commander. Had he been healthy and still in command of the Dragon Guard Legion, the higher-ups of Rage Wave Kingdom wouldn’t have dared to marginalize the King with such impunity.

Especially since Turing Tuo’s betrayal dealt a fatal blow to the King.

When Count Suo Long was still reigning supreme, Fu Lingxi had already left, so all he could say at this time was, "It is also the husband’s fate."

Gao Yin said, "Fortunately, Suo Lun is even more outstanding, although his martial arts are not as good as his father’s. But in terms of strategy and wisdom, he far surpasses him; Madam has raised a good son."

At this moment, Fu Lingxi’s face finally showed some embarrassment.

Indeed, her son was so remarkable that it was hard for others to believe.

But unfortunately, she had already severed ties with Suo Lun. Nearly half a year ago, she gave up the last chance to mend the mother-son relationship.

At that time, Fang Qingshu had captured Yan Nai’er. As a Judge, Fu Lingxi had the authority to take custody of Yan Nai’er, who would still be captured by the Dragon Temple, but at least wouldn’t have been defiled by Fang Qingshu.

Instead, to avoid offending Fang Qingshu, Fu Lingxi completely abandoned her daughter-in-law Yan Nai’er, utterly severing the mother-son relationship.

What was even more humiliating was that at that time, Suo Lun was merely testing her sincerity; he was fully capable of rescaving Yan Nai’er.

Not only did Suo Lun save Yan Nai’er, but he also threw Fang Qingshu into hell, dealing a huge blow to Fu Lingxi herself.

Gao Yin said, "Zhi Li colluded with Turing Duo to murder Tuli Yang, but they framed Suo Lun for it, and on this pretext, led half of the kingdom’s army to attack Suo Lun. Heaven has eyes, the young master of Luan Yang City, Tuli Yang, has been rescued, and the scandal of Zhi Li and Turing Duo has been exposed to the world. Moreover, in the great battle a few days ago, Zhi Li was utterly defeated, and Suo Lun was completely victorious."

Fu Lingxi’s expression suddenly turned even uglier.

Another shameless slap in the face!

Regarding the matter of Zhi Li attacking Suo Lun, she, Fu Lingxi, had indeed played a role in fueling the flames.

When Zhi Li was marrying Turing Mo, it was Fu Lingxi who officiated the wedding.

At that time, Zhi Li wanted to completely economically blockade Suo Lun, and Tuli Yang vied to be the first to comply, but none of the lords and governors present dared to agree. It was she, Fu Lingxi, who stood out, expressing support for Zhi Li as Suo Lun’s biological mother.

Seeing even his biological mother abandon Suo Lun, everyone thought he was done for, and so with the walls falling, everyone joined in, leading the entire Rage Wave Kingdom to blockade Suo Lun, plunging him into an unprecedented deadly crisis.

Moreover, after Suo Lun defeated Yan Mo, Duke Turing Tuo began to hesitate and retreat, and again it was she, Fu Lingxi, who personally went to persuade Turing Tuo, urging him to firm his resolve to combat Suo Lun.

These incidents, one after another, showed Fu Lingxi’s repeated interventions aimed at leading Suo Lun to his death.

At the time, Turing Duo lamented that even tigers do not eat their cubs, yet Fu Lingxi was more vicious than a fierce tiger.

Unexpectedly, Suo Lun created a miracle once again. Despite being surrounded by enemies from all over, he emerged entirely victorious, defeating the national forces of Zhi Li.

Zhi Li fled in utter defeat, and she learned of this just yesterday!

At that moment, Fu Lingxi truly felt like thunder had struck on a clear day; she swayed and nearly fell to the ground!

She was a Judge of the Zhidu Tribunal, so naturally, she did not fear Suo Lun’s revenge.

However, she had a family behind her! And this time, Marquis FuE was also part of the campaign against Suo Lun, and among the various lords, the Fu Clan had sent the most troops.

Once Suo Lun became the Regent King of the kingdom, he would certainly seek furious revenge against the Fu Clan.

If it were someone else, even having become king, they might not necessarily be able to touch the kingdom’s lords; at worst, they would simply be coldly suppressed.

But if it were Suo Lun, there was nothing he wouldn’t dare do. Once he took action in retaliation, losing possession of BaiHuo City would almost be the lightest punishment.

Directly attacking BaiHuo City under the pretext of rebellion and bringing the Fu Clan to ruin was a distinct possibility.

At that moment, Fu Lingxi truly regretted her actions, consumed with both regret and fear!

Even if she broke with Suo Lun, she should not have gotten too close to Zhi Li, let alone openly supported him. That way, even if she severed the maternal bond with Suo Lun, he might not have retaliated so ruthlessly.

But now, Fu Lingxi’s actions had given Suo Lun the justification for revenge. When he mobilized his forces against the Fu Clan, he would be entirely in the right.

Grand Eunuch Gao Yin said, "I’ve heard that there might be some misunderstanding between the madam and Suo Lun?"

Fu Lingxi nodded and said, "The entanglements between mother and son are difficult to clarify."

Gao Yin said, "Though flesh and blood may be severed, the bond between mother and child is something that can never truly be cut. Right now, there’s an excellent opportunity to ease and even restore the maternal bond between you and Suo Lun. Would you like to hear it?"

Fu Lingxi responded, "I am all ears!"

Gao Yin said, "I’ve heard that Zhi Ning and her child have been taken to the Dragon Temple. The child born to Zhi Ning is, after all, Suo Lun’s own flesh and blood, and he is greatly concerned about them. Zhi Li is currently fleeing back to Zhi Du in madness; facing complete defeat, he will surely go mad and take the child as a hostage to force Suo Lun to back down! Not only is this child Suo Lun’s direct descendant, but he is also your own grandson. If the madam can rescue the child from danger, do you fear Suo Lun wouldn’t forgive you? In that case, mother and son would reconcile and enjoy family happiness again, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

Fu Lingxi trembled!

Indeed, this was the best chance to regain Suo Lun’s affections and perhaps the last opportunity!

...

At this moment, Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Ning, along with her son, were confined in a secret chamber within the Zhi Du Sanctuary!

Of course, the official reason was fear of Suo Lun’s retaliation, so they were moved to the safest place.

The Zhi Du Sanctuary was fully aware of Zhi Li’s intentions but still acted as an accomplice, even at the cost of jeopardizing an infant’s life.

But from a moral standpoint, the Zhi Du Sanctuary bore no guilt, after all, they were protecting Zhi Li’s family.

Zhi Ning quietly held her son, who was blissfully unaware of the grave danger he was in, still hungrily nursing.

Nothing else in the world mattered when nursing was the priority.

While nursing, he even made soft, cooing sounds.

Fang Qingzhuo gently held Zhi Ning and her child, repeating over and over, "I will protect you, I must protect you, no matter the cost, I will protect you!"
