Chapter 126 - 126 Deserves Death

126 Deserves Death

Although the queen had been threatened by Nie Yin, there was nothing she could do now.

After all, if she wanted to save Wen Qiong, Nie Yin was the only way!

The queen gritted her teeth and was about to agree when she saw Yin Ling walking over from afar.

The queen’s expression changed slightly as she instructed Nie Yin, “I’ll consider what you said. You can leave now!”

Seeing that the queen’s attitude had changed, Nie Yin narrowed his eyes and left.

As he passed by Yin Ling, Nie Yin felt a strange aura lingering around Yin Ling’s body. He couldn’t tell what it was, but it was definitely not the type of spiritual energy they cultivated!

After Nie Yin left, Yin Ling knelt in front of the queen. “Your Highness, I failed to do my job and didn’t bring the thing back. Please punish me!”

When the queen heard Yin Ling’s words, her expression instantly darkened. “What happened? Did the Li family obstruct you?” the queen asked, already filled with hatred for the Li family.

Yin Ling didn’t dare to look up at the queen and could only say gloomily, “I… I didn’t see who did it!”

He also found it strange. Not only did he not see who did it, but even the two people beside him didn’t sense anyone making a move!

They chased them around, but actually lost them. Not only that, but the Li family also discovered that they had trespassed into the forbidden area. Helpless, they could only return to the palace first.

As for whether Zhang Xuan could hide it from the Li family, he couldn’t care less now.

The queen’s expression became distorted when she heard Yin Ling’s words. “What do you mean you didn’t see who it was?”

Not daring to make a sound, Yin Ling lowered his head even more.

“Are you saying that you don’t even know whose hands that thing fell into?” The queen’s voice became even louder, echoing throughout the palace. Even everyone outside heard it.

Yin Ling immediately kowtowed on the ground. “I deserve to die!”

The queen watched as Yin Ling bowed and confessed. Then, she took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. After a long while, she spoke again. “Did you replace anything else in the Li family?”

She sounded very calm.

“The ancestral hall was destroyed. There’s nothing left.” Yin Ling was still kneeling on the ground, maintaining the posture of kowtowing.

“There seems to be something fishy about the Second Elder’s death. The Li family’s patriarch and a few elders are tracking the murderer. I heard that they’re also looking for a mistress and a child the Second Elder raised outside.”

“Second Elder’s mistress?” The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, and she couldn’t help but feel shocked.

She actually didn’t know about this!

What else had the Second Elder secretly done?!

Moreover, the Li family’s patriarch had used a forbidden technique to protect the Second Elder’s life. It seemed that the Second Elder probably knew useful information!

With this thought in mind, the queen instructed Yin Ling, “Bring the mistress and the child to the palace before the Li family replaces them! I want to see them!”

The people the Li family was desperately looking for must be hiding some secret!

Seeing that the queen didn’t punish him and even gave him a new mission, Yin Ling immediately kowtowed and accepted the order.

The queen took a deep breath to calm herself down. At that moment, Wen Qiong started whining behind her again.

In order not to let Nie Yin’s words stimulate Wen Qiong, the queen had used a spell to seal Wen Qiong’s ears.

Since she couldn’t hear their voices clearly, after calling out for a while, she fell asleep.

The queen walked to Wen Qiong’s side and saw that her face was covered in tears even in her sleep. She felt helpless and heartbroken.

Ever since Wen Qiong was injured, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t sleep at all. She kept shouting, but she couldn’t speak, and she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Today, Nie Yin’s arrival allowed Wen Qiong to recover a little.

No matter what Nie Yin’s goal was, at least the effect seemed pretty good.
