The Fortune Of Rebirth: The Counterattack Of The Princess Chapter C33 – Doubt

Chapter C33 – Doubt

Proofread by Nie Qiao

“My Lady, the Crown Prince invites you to his House to discuss the search of the jade pendant.” Qingyu comes in and tells Yan Ling.

Yan Ling nods and looks at Qingyu, “Liyi is not comfortable today, so you go out with me.”

“Yes, My Lady.” Qingyu bows and steps back two steps.

Liyi looks at them from afar. She wants to say something, but say nothing after all.

The Crown Prince’s House

After asking all the people out, only Yan Ling and Liang He are left in the huge room. For a while, they don’t know how to begin.

“You… Today, why do you say that in front of the Emperor?” Yan Ling finally asks.

It seems Liang He knows that Yan Ling would ask. He takes a sip of tea and smiles,  “I know Father’s temper, so I said it on purpose.”

After hearing this, Yan Ling is even more puzzled.

Looking at Yan Ling’s frowned eyebrows, Liang He looks at her cautiously, and explains softly, “if not, Father will blame you.”

Yan Ling is shocked. She didn’t expect it’s because of this. Somehow, she remembers the strange expression of Qingyu in the carriage. It turns out that she understood at that time.

Those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those outsiders. Yan Ling sighs.

“Why do you sigh? Don’t worry, we can find the thief in a month.” Liang He consoles her.

“I’m not worried about this. It’s you…” Thinking that Liang He did this for her, Yan Ling involuntarily feels guilty.

“Ling’er, are you worried about me?” Liang He’s eyes suddenly brighten and he smiles and asks, clearly expectantly.

“I……” Yan Ling wants to admit it, but…

After a long time, Yan Ling seems to have finally got a result. She thinks that Liang He is involved in because of her, so she should worry about him. Otherwise, isn’t she heartless?

“Of course I’m worried about you. If it wasn’t me, how could you be affected by this?” Yan Ling says slowly, and then lowers her head unnaturally.

Yan Ling explains specially the reason why she is worried about him. But how does Liang He care about that? He only heard that Yan Ling said she is worried about him.

Thinking of this, Liang He is in a good mood. Yan Ling is not the kind of person who will speak out her feelings. So Liang He is very satisfied to hear this.

“Your behavior is quite different from what you usually act. I believe many people have seen that. If the Emperor and the Queen know, I’m afraid…” Yan Ling thinks of something, and suddenly raises her head.

“Certainly not. Others may have seen something, but I’m not close to my mother. She doesn’t understand the way of my doing things.” Liang He says lightly.

“As for my father…” Liang sighs.

“What happened to the Emperor?” Yan Ling is relieved, but her heart beats fast again.

“Don’t worry, Father is still healthy, but he is old after all. He is more irritable recently. He won’t go too far in this matter.” Liang He says with some unknown emotion.

Yan Ling naturally realizes that Liang He’s mood changes now, so she doesn’t say anything, but looks at him quietly.

Liang He is really worried. The Emperor is too old to work for many years. Although the Third Prince is seemingly carefree, he has been forming his clique secretly. In addition, Concubine De always says something good for her own son as the Emperor’s wife.

In the past few years, Liang Yi’s power is expanding step by step. If the Emperor really dies, Liang Yi will be a strong enemy of Liang He. The country will be in a big mess then.

On the one hand, Liang He is determined to win the throne. On the other hand, he knows that things in a royal family would not be so simple, especially in the battle for the throne.

If it is Liang He who gets the throne, even for his reputation, he would take into account his brotherhood. However, Liang Yi is not the same. If he is successful, Liang He will be the first person he wants to eliminate.

As for Yan Ling, Liang He frowns. Anyone can see Liang Yi’s desire for Yan Ling. However, no one knows if it’s true. 

According to Liang He’s understanding of Liang Yi, his approaching to Yan Ling is definitely for the purpose of drawing the minds of either Prime Minister Yan or  someone else. Definitely he is not that simple.

However, no matter what it is for, Liang He will not allow anyone to use Yan Ling.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s talk about the jade pendant. Now the top priority is to find it.” Liang He is silent for a while, and then says with a smile again.

“The people in my yard have been inquired one by one. But it seems that there is no valuable clue.” Talking about this, Yan Ling still looks somewhat  helpless.

“Ling’er, do you remember what I said to Father in the hall today?” Liang He asks with a smile.

It seems that he doesn’t expect Yan Ling’s answer. When Yan Ling is in deep thought, Liang He continues, “I said that the Prime Minister’s House is securely guarded, which is true.”

Maybe it can be called the abuse of power. When Liang He arranged the patrolmen of the Capital, he arranged many masters of martial arts to be around the Prime Minister’s House.

It’s not easy for a thief to get in and out of the Prime Minister’s House. However, Liang He did not intend to let Yan Ling know about this.

“I’ve sent people to inquire. The guards near the Prime Minister’s House yesterday last night happen to be masters of martial arts. If someone sneaks into the Prime Minister’s House and steals something, they can definitely find him. “

Liang He expresses what he has thought for a long time. The patrol guards in the capital s.h.i.+ft regularly. In this way, there’s nothing strange about it. Naturally, Yan Ling doesn’t think much about it.

“In this way…” Yan Ling frowns involuntarily.

“If I’m not wrong, it’s someone in your House who stole the jade pendant. And most likely, he is in your yard.” Liang He’s eyes become sharp.

If Yan Ling is with such a bad person, he should be found out whether it’s for the jade pendant or not.

Somehow, Liang He thinks of the young man named Nan Yan.

Although, Liang He has sent people to find out the real ident.i.ty of Nan Yan. However, he is useful and doesn’t hurt Yan Ling, so Liang He didn’t intend to do anything to him, and naturally he didn’t tell Yan Ling about him.

On the one hand, Liang He doesn’t want Yan Ling to know that he has investigated the people around her. On the other hand, Liang He believes that Yan Ling does things for some reasons, and he has no reason to interfere.

However, if Nan Yan did this, let alone Yan Ling, Liang He will not let him go.

“Did you ask the young man named Nan Yan?” After thinking for a while, Liang He asks.
