Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Denouncing the Little Emperor

Rong Ling gazed at the cliff, feeling a heavy suffocation in his heart. Clearly, he had promised to protect her, yet she still had to endure what she shouldn’t have.

No, she will be fine, yes, she will be fine.

As the thought crossed Rong Ling’s mind, he turned to Si Qi and Si Hua and said, "Stay here, and if there is any news of your Princess Consort, send someone to notify me immediately."

Si Qi and Si Hua dared not look at the Prince’s icy demeanor. The Prince seemed to have reverted to his former self. Though during this period, even amidst his disputes with the Princess Consort, he had seemed more vibrant, now he appeared to be the same Prince with little emotion again.

"Yes, Prince."

Rong Ling turned around and walked forward, speaking slowly as he walked, "Someone like your Princess Consort won’t be in trouble. She is so cunning, tricky, and astute. How could she be in trouble? Let’s not overthink it and await her news."

Saying this, Rong Ling seemed to calm down, and he believed he wasn’t wrong.

How could someone as shrewd and devious as Feng Qing possibly die? Didn’t they say? Good people don’t live long, but the wicked last a thousand years; she’s just a little troublemaker, so she won’t easily be in trouble.

Rong Ling walked to his horse, climbed on, and the guards arranged earlier by Nan Xuan followed closely, mounting their horses to head out of the hunting ground.

The hunting ground’s outskirts were chaotic. Han Moyao instructed people to send the unconscious Emperor back to the palace, while the members of the Imperial Family huddled around their injured children.

The Imperial Physician brought along was passed around by the family members to treat the descendants of the noble families, and the scene was extremely chaotic at times.

The courtiers were all concerned, repeatedly asking what exactly had happened. Some uninjured members of the Imperial Family took the opportunity to mention the fireball falling from the sky, and soon someone began shouting.

"This is heavenly punishment."

"Indeed, this time it was a warning; I fear next time it won’t be resolved so easily."

"It’s the Emperor; it must be the Emperor who has done something to anger Heaven, which is why such disaster occurred."

Among the crowd, an old courtier anxiously spoke up, "What exactly did the Emperor do?"

Someone cautiously responded, "I saw earlier that a large group of assassins surrounded and attacked Prince Yong."

"Yes, I saw it too; it seemed like just when the Prince was being assassinated, the fireball fell."

"Could it be that those assassins of Prince Yong were sent by the Emperor? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such heavenly punishment when the Prince was assassinated."

After these words, Rong Ling’s faction among the ministers seized the opportunity to speak out: "Hence, it seems all that happened to Prince Yong before was orchestrated by the Emperor, and that’s why the Emperor suffered heavenly punishment."

"Prince Yong, as our Dayan Regent King, during his regency, our Dayan Country was peaceful and prosperous. It’s evident that Prince Yong is blessed by Heaven. Now, the Emperor openly sends people to assassinate Prince Yong. This is thrusting our Dayan into misfortune."

"As an old minister, I must enter the palace and plead to the Emperor not to target Prince Yong any further. This action will destroy the Dayan Kingdom."

More and more people began speaking up, resulting in a chorus of voices condemning the Emperor.

While the courtiers were denouncing the Emperor, Rong Ling emerged from the hunting ground with his entourage on horseback.

As soon as Rong Ling appeared, someone rushed over, concerned and asked, "Prince, are you alright?"

"Are you injured anywhere?"
