Chapter 140 The romantic prince favors the beautiful courtesan!
Lingxi's voice was calm and gentle, as if she was really curious so she asked, but everyone present was a shrewd person. As soon as she said this, everyone noticed the temptation in her words.
However, except Lingyun and Qingyu himself, no one else present knew why Lingxi suddenly targeted Qingyu.
The few people didn't ask but just listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
Qingyu's expression remained calm when he heard this, without any change. He just drank his tea calmly without even glancing at Lingxi.
Lingyun was just eating on the side. He knew Qingyu's strength and he would not let himself suffer any loss. Qingyu was obviously a shrewd and scheming person. Although Lingxi was smart, he did not have enough experience after all. How could he be Qingyu's opponent!
Qingyu slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the person opposite him, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"To be honest, I was indeed a child of a wealthy family before I entered Yingchun Tower. However, my luck was bad at that time. My father was framed and the whole family was executed. In the end, I was the only one left out of the 108 people in the family.
After that, I was alone and had no place to live, so I was spotted by the shopkeeper of Yingchun Tower and brought into the building, which is how I got to where I am today."
He briefly told his life story, and after that he looked desolate and as sad as ever.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Lingyun put down the cake in her hand and patted him on the back to comfort him. Lingyun knew that all this was a story he made up, but there was some truth in it.
He felt a little sorry for him. He knew Qingyu said all this because he recognized Yu Ling's identity. Just imagine, how could a man who had his property confiscated by the current emperor and ended up with his family broken up not have any resentment!
Yu Ling has never been loved by the emperor since childhood and has grown up in hardship. In addition, the current emperor is cruel and merciless and has no compassion, and he has long been unable to bear it.
As the son of destiny, he is destined to become the new leader of this precarious country, and he is also destined to be an enemy of the current emperor.
The two have the same goal and the same enemy, and with Qingyu's planning and scheming, this position is bound to change hands.
Sure enough, after hearing Qingyu's words, Yu Ling felt happy in his heart. He had never made a mistake in his life. No matter whether it was Lingyun just now or Qingyu now, he could see that they were definitely not ordinary people.
The reason why he came here just now was because he knew he would find what he wanted here, but he didn't expect that God would give him a pillow when he went to sleep.
This Young Master Qing looks very extraordinary. If he can be brought into the camp, it will definitely be a great help to his power.
Several people have different opinions. Yu Ling's ideas are more long-term. The others explained that they sympathized with Qingyu's experience, but he was different. He saw the hatred in Qingyu's eyes when he talked about his experience. He knew that he would never be willing to give up revenge.
How could he let go of the hatred that led to the destruction of his family unless the murderer was brought to justice?
Therefore, you can use such people for your own benefit without having to worry about them biting you back later.
After figuring out the key, he made up his mind to bring this person into his camp!
"Mr. Qing, please accept my condolences and don't worry too much.
I have something that can fulfill your wish. Would you like to take a gamble with me? I will never let you down!"
Having made up his mind, he took the lead in extending his olive branch to show his sincerity.
His words were incoherent and very obscure, but anyone who knew the inside story would know what he meant.
The fact that he was so eager to recruit Qingyu into his camp showed that this man had a very sharp vision.
Lingyun was a little surprised. He had not intended for the two to cooperate so quickly, but he did not expect that they would cooperate so quickly.
It seems that the emperor's good days are coming to an end, and cooperation between these two people will only achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After this, his relationship with Qingyu might not be so easy to integrate. This time Lingyun came to Jingyang Palace to look for something.
I'm afraid he will leave once he finds them. Besides, this person has to discuss the matter of the emperor with the Seventh Prince, so he may not have much time left.
During this period, he wanted Qingyu to remember him in her heart. Although he could not guarantee that he would fall in love with her during this period, he must make sure that he would not forget him.
In this way, even if he chooses to leave later, he will come back after finishing his work, and then he will have plenty of time to spend with him slowly.
No matter how hard his heart is, it must be broken!
Having made up his mind, he didn't say anything. Seeing Qingyu return to normal, he went back to eating. The movement of letting go was so natural that his eating was not affected at all, as if the comfort he just gave to Qingyu was just a procedure he needed to complete.
It wasn't from his heart at all. Qingyu's heart sank when he saw this. Lingyun acted so indifferent, as if she didn't care about him at all.
This made him feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't say it out loud. He had to talk things over with Yu Ling first.
He knew what Yu Ling meant. All the foreplay before was just for the cooperation at this moment. Naturally, he would not refuse.
So he smiled with an ambiguous meaning, and then said softly, "I'm glad to do it!"
The two looked at each other and everything was said without words.
Lin Xun ignored what the two were saying, because besides being the Minister of Rites, he was also a member of the Seventh Prince's camp, so he could understand what they were saying.
To be honest, he was also happy to see Qingyu joining. When he met Qingyu before, he knew that this person was no ordinary person. With his joining, there would be few people who could compete with Yuling for any position.
The only ones in danger now are the Queen's son, the third prince Yu Jing, and Concubine Su's son, the fourth prince Yu Xing, and now Yu Ling.
The three of them all have strong backing. After all, the queen is in a high position, and she has the Shangshu Mansion as her backing. She can be said to be the strongest contender for the throne.
The Fourth Prince's mother, Concubine Su, has Marquis Pingyang behind her, and her strength should not be underestimated. In addition, the Emperor is particularly fond of Concubine Su, so it is inevitable that the Emperor will love her too, so the Fourth Prince is also a considerable threat.
Yu Ling's biological mother died early. Although he has the General's Mansion behind him, after all, none of the people in the General's Mansion are in the capital, so his support is very weak.
Now that he is together with Ling Xi, he will naturally get the support of Jingyang Marquis Mansion, which will make up for the disparity in power among the three parties. So Lin Xun is still looking forward to what the final result will be!
