Ye Ling shook her head, a bitter taste spreading in her heart.

  "I told them that Longyuan Country sent me to seduce the young lady of the General's mansion, and I took the opportunity to escape back! They didn't suspect me at all, and they accepted my return. However, my return offended some people's interests, and these days haven't been short of assassins coming to kill me. Fortunately, my cultivation has made rapid progress in the past half year, so those assassins weren't able to succeed."

  Yun Luo's eyes drooped, and she continued to fiddle with the brush in her hand. A faint glimmer flashed across her dark pupils: "Ye Ling, how is the matter I asked you to investigate? Who was it that killed my parents back then?"

  More than a decade ago, Yun Yang and his wife came up with a plan while fighting against the Flowing Gold Nation, but unfortunately, this plan was leaked by Mu Chenxiang, which led to their opponents using it against them, causing them to fall into a trap.

  However, the one who ultimately took the lives of this couple was someone else, and that person must be related to the imperial family of Liújīn Guó!

  Yun Luo sent Yan Ye Ling to this Liufeng country, precisely to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes!

  "This matter has some clues now," Ye Ling looked at Yunluo Feng, "Give me a little more time and I will find out the truth. However, I can tell you that this matter is related to Empress Rong."

  This Empress Dowager was none other than the mother of Second Prince Ye Lu, and it was she who had urged the Emperor to send Ye Ling as a hostage to Longyuan Country. And in this period of time, she helped her son Ye Lu become the Crown Prince. It seemed that her efforts were about to pay off when Ye Ling returned!

  How could Empress Rong not harbor hatred? If it weren't for the entire court's officials and military officers siding with Ye Ling, General Yi Bufan being Ye Ling's uncle, her son would have become the crown prince long ago!

  Yè Líng, who was mistakenly taken as a prisoner of war, still dares to return to her country!

  Seeing that a piece of her heart's blood was about to be paid like the East Sea, Consort Rong couldn't sit still anymore, and this was the reason for the nightly assassinations! What Yunluo Feng didn't expect was that even her own parents' deaths were related to her?

  A flash of killing intent flashed across his eyes, and Yun Luo stopped fiddling with the brush, saying: "Ye Ling, recently I will be staying in this Flowing Gold Country, but it's inconvenient to act at the Luofeng Pavilion, so I'll move into your Third Prince's Manor. It's also a good opportunity to investigate the mastermind behind my parents' murder!"

  "Yes, master."

  Ye Ling respectfully replied.

  From that moment half a year ago when he pledged his loyalty to her, his life belonged to her. Even if she ordered him to destroy the entire Flowing Gold Nation, he would not refuse any of her commands!

  "While I'm staying at your residence, don't call me master," Yunluo Feng's eyes sparkled a few times, and he smiled, "Just calling my name is enough!"

  In Longyuan country, Yunluo Feng's name was well-known to every household, but now that she is in Liujin country, no one has heard of her useless name, so she would let Ye Ling call out her full name.

  "This...," Ye Ling hesitated for a moment, "I'll still call you Cloud Girl, addressing you directly by name is really not something I can do."

  He wouldn't dare be so presumptuous as to address his master by name, even if he had a hundred times the courage.

  "Alright," Yun Luofeng slowly stood up, stretching lazily, "I'm a bit tired. You go ahead and get the room ready for me, I'll take a rest. If there's any news, come notify me."

  She finished speaking and walked out of the study room with a steady pace.
